to the farm house owned by his broth>

one-half mile distant. Just as he en-
tered the farmyard gate he fell to the
ground completely exhausted from the
loss of blood which had been flowing
from the wound in a perfect stream,
leaving a crimson trail half mile long.
A physician was Immediately called,

Idea of Reform

Idea OF Reform.
Des Moines. July lS.--'Fifteen days
in jail or sign the pledge Such is the
alternative offered excessive indul-
gents of liquor who appear before Po-
lice Judge A. j. Mathis here.
The prisoner generally startles at
the hard sentence, and then grasps at
the alternative offered. Hundreds have
signed the ge since he has occu-
pied the bench. a few have come
back. But woe to the backslider. for
in Judge Mathis court there is little

Those who have signed the pledge fear

man who had signed was brought into
court. The judge frowned as he en-
tered, whereupon the prisoner jumped
and cried:

dence disclosed the truth Of his state
ment. He was arrested with a crowd
for disturbing the peace.
All incorrigible young girl, 1S years
old. was arrested few days ago. 1t
was Maud Wright. Her features show
ed she has not long been in sinful
way She was charged with intoxica-
ton. The judge called her to his pri-
vate room, and there talked with her
for half hour on reformation. When
she left her face was stained with
marks of tears. Her spirit, which had
defied her parents. was broken. She
went free, but the judge held pledge
signed by her. in which she agreed to
leave liquor alone and live a good life.
When Judge Mathis finishes his term
he hopes to say not how many he SEN
fenced but how many he saved.
