among his fellow soldiers. His me-
chanical ability gave him position
in the navy, and alSe positions at MAX
ing special boilers. He worked for
some time as a mechanical engineer,
and became acquainted with metals
and their strengths. Always a close
student. his SiXty-seven years have
created in him strong MIND, capable
OF doing great things. His applying a
force of nearly 5000 pounds to his Jail
door last week by means of but COM
mon bed slat as a pry and Two small
pieces of iron as his other tools indi-
cate that he has ability.
Monday afternoon in the sheriff s
office, he told a small crowd of hearers
part of the story of his life; as he ex-
pressed it: "There has been, always,
an instinct of doing wrong thoroughly
wrought into my makeup; want to
do the right thing, and fight against
doing the wrong, but somehow l am
not able to overcome the desire To go
wrong, and do something l should
not, and then just as soon as it is done,
l am sorry, and realize how foolish |
have been. The influences that have
formed my life have never been those
that would help me to DO right, but
have worked against me; little help
in the right way when l was boy
would have wrought wonders with
me-" How often is this the case!
We have, at other times, had oppor-
tunity to talk with criminals, to
whose record MacPherSon'S is a white
marx: many of them, in fact, nearly
four-tifths of them tell of the same adj
verse Influences always: can't we, then
instead of welding these wrong
influences. instead of crushing the
evil dOer for the first time, give
him helping hand and little lift
along the path of life? Macpherson
has given US good proof that it would
do great good. Let US think of it the
next time we come in contact with
one who feels tendency to do wrong,
and do something to help his fight,
instead of helping crush him.
We Offer no excuses for Macpherson;
he is wrong dOer, a bad man, and on
his own word, knows better: his talk
was such Monday, we might think he
would never attempt any such thing
again in the world, but it was so, af-
ter his first escape; he cannot now be
trusted. but must be watched as if he
were a murderer. We firmly believe
that right now, he would do no wrong;
but wait for a time, till the old feel
ing comes again, and then that which
gave him his former police record
the wrong influences that have worked
on his character will show themselves,
and MACPHERSON will be thoroughly
criminal again. Though there can be
no sympathy for him, there is pity.

MACPHERSON.-THE MAN

John Macpherson, the man who has
twice broken out of the Wood county
Jail within six months, and who says
he can do it again if it should become
necessary" is good example OF
genius, brain power, and perseye r
ance, which if turned into the right
channel. would have made him a
prominent man before MEN, one re-
spected and admired, instead of con-
demned to prison,
His appearance is not criminal one
that is, be does not wear hateful,
sinister look; on the contrary be is a
jovial fellow, able to see the humorous
side of things even when years I'M
priSonment is before him, and he is
not a skunk. that is, knocker. Had
Macpherson tlrned bis ability toward
being a military engineer, civil en-
gineer, or any mechanical line of work
he would have made success. AS it
is land he says SO himSelf) he is sue
cess, but only in the opposite way from
being good.
Fourteen years he has served in the
army, and his stories Of army life in
dicate that he was not an outcast
