WHY NOT?

Why not in memory of Him let peace
And kindness for a little while have
sway
Why not Sermit the sorrowing to
cease.
And for a little while put hate
away?
Why not for His sake cease a while
to try
To push our weaker brothers to
the walls?
Why not, instead of passing proudly
by,
Stoop down to lift the feeble one
who falls?
Why not for just a little while let
greed
Be overshadowed by the love He
taught?
Why not for His sake listen when
they plead
For mercy who are coldly crushed
why not?

Twas Ever Thus.

Just as the train was pulling out Of
the station a GREATNESS commuter
swung himself upon the platform Of
the last car at station some thirty
minutes from New York. He carried
green cloth bag such as is affected
by young lawyers, and one large vol
ume of an encyclopedia was under
his arm.
He sank into seat and, with a deep
sigh, opened the book. He lost no time
in finding his place, but he seemed far
from satisfied. Soon he turned in great
evaporation to his neighboY and re-
marked:
''Now, wouldn't that Jar you? I've
been paying for this encyclopedia for
the past two years and never had occa-
sion to use it before. A new client, O
big tanner, is going to call on me this
morning, and wanted to read up the
subject of tanning before reached the
city. So snatched the volume with
the letter T while eating breakfast and
incidentally ran five blocks to catch my
train. Look for the word tanning
there it is. But that is all that Is
there. Just take look at that!" be
exclaimed, pointing to this simple
legend:

Mr.. DePue, accompanied by his
grown son, Frank H. DePue, Jr. ar
rived in the city this morning on No,
2 from San Francisco. He comes to
take back to San Quentin penitentiary
Frederick F.. Delisser, the escaped
convict. who surrendered to Sheriff
Charles Schrader in this city about
ten days ago, telling who he was and
declaring that he was tired of dodg-
ing the officers and desired to 90 back
and serve his time.
There Is but little doubt that Fred
ericll Delisser will spend n good many
years to come behind the bars of old
San Quentin. 1t is a mystery to the
officials why he gave himself up. He
is a notorious and hardened Grim
lnal, a confidence man and forger,
and from all accounts a desperate
man.
MIR. DePue stated this morning that
Delisser had possessed a shady repu-
tation for many years and was always
under surveillance of the detectives.
In October 1903 he was delivered to
the penitentiary at San Quentin to
serve a term of five years for forgery
He served over three years straight
time and in December 1906 was re-
leased on parole, having made a
model prisoner and being entitled to
parole.
The Rev. Charles Montgomery of
San Francisco, a man of great wealth
and phllanthropist of undoubted
sincerity has Interested himself for
years in paroled and released con
victs. enavoring to help each man
to reform and lead better lives. He
has helped them financially and set
number of such men up in busi-

Rev. Montgomery purchased half

gave the man every chance to re-

1t wasn't in Delisser. He is evidently
a born criminal. Instead of imprOv-
ling his opportunities and living up to
the confidence placed in him by his
benefactor. he proved a traitor to

been satisfied and he would have been
in every sense free man the old
longing to return to his profession
as "con man" and forger came over
him. He forged the name of his
benefactor to one or two checks,
cashed them and ran away, violating
his parole. This was last April and
since then the San Quentin officials
have been securing the country for
him.
Mr.. DePue states that he took up
the case and soon got track of the
fugitive, lost 1t again and then
through mysterious Vaccinations of
the great secret service system of the
country. he got on the trail again and
tracked the man to Ogden, Utah, De
lisser got wise" however and skipped
out. A few days later he gave him
self up in this city to Sheriff Schrad-
er. The San Quentin officials were
notified and Mr.. DePue is here, There
was a mutual recognition when the
officer and the criminal met at the
county jail this morning. Very few
of the professional criminals of the
west are not acquainted with "Pud-
denhead" DePue.
Delisser will go to California with
out making any protest. Mr.. DePue
and his son will leave tomorrow
morning for the west with their pris-
oner.
Delisser now loses all his credits on
his sentence of forgery. Three years
straight time he served Will count as
nothing. He must now serve the or
iglnal sentence of full five years. At
the end of that time he must answer
the new charge of forgery preferred
against him as a result of unlawfully
using the name of his benefactor. Mr..
DePue hinted that there are still
other charges to be brought up
against the man. Consequently the
outlook for Densser, now over fifty
years of age, spending the rest of his
life behind prison bars seems very
bright indeed. He was given a chance
to be a man yet failed to take advant-
age of that chance. He is entitled
to little sympathy.
Delisser'c surrender to the officers
here, after such a long chase, ds some
what a puzzle to the California oflic
ials who knew the man. They believe
he has some sinister purpose back of
it all Perhaps he has committed
some deed in Colorado or Utah since
escaping from San Quentin and fear
ing that he might be apprehended on
