Washington, d. C., May 25.-Presi
dent Roosevelt is asked to intercede
for a new trial for General Stoessel,
who is condemned to death by the
Russian government. Solomon Stoes-
sci of Cleveland, who asked the presi-
dent to i%ntercede, is a cousin of the
Russian Stoessel.
Condemned General Is Jew.
The cousin says Stoessel's trouble
is due to the fact hat he is a Jew
and vas hated by Kuropatkin. 1t is
not expected that the president will
take any hand in the matter, nor is the
report that Stoessel has been con-
demned authenticated.

Is Disease a Crime /?

Not very long ago. popular magazine
nnbllshed an editorial article In which
the writer asserted, In substance, that all
disease should be regarded as criminal.
Certain 1t Is, that much OF the sickness
and suffering OF mankind Is due to the
violation OF certain OF Natures laws.
But to say that all sickness should be
regarded as criminal, must appeal to
every reasonable individual as radically
wrong.

cruel, yes criminal, to condemn the poor,

THE SLEEPY SONG.

From T. P.'s Weekly.
AS soon as the fire burns red and low,
And the house upstairs is still,
She sings me queer little sleepy
song
OF sheep that go over the hill. .
The good little sheep run quick and
soft,
Their colors are gray and white;
They follow their leader nose to tail,
For they must be home by night.
And one slips over, ond one comes
next,
And one runs after behind;
The gray ones nose at the white ones
tail,
The top Of the hill they find.
And when they get to the top of the
hill
They quietly slip away,
But one runs over and one comes
Their coIors are white and graz.
And over they go and over they go,
And over the top Of the hill
The good little sheep run quick and
soft,
And one house upstairs is still.
And one slips over and one comes
next,
The good little gray little sheep!
| watch how the fire burns red and
low,
And she says that 1 fall asleep.
