s1.O0 A YEAR
To Be TRIED
FOR MURDER
Nine-ye -OId Boy to Face a
Serious Charge.

A Hattiesburg, Miss, special
dated Feb. IA says: "The trial
of 9-yeay-old boy on the charge
of murder is one of the cases on
the docket of the Harrison coun-
ty court, just south of here, to be
disposed of be fore the end of
this week. The case presents
many remarkable features in sd-
dition to the extreme youth of
the prisoner who stands charged
with capital crime. He will go
into the dock unattended by rel
atives or friends, and the only
counsel TO defend him will be
such lawyers as have been at
tracted to his side by the pa
thetic nature of his case. The
tragedy with which he is charged
occurred about year ago, near
the town of Wiggins, on the Gulf
&c Ship Island railroad. Fred
Blankenship, the accused, was
playing in the woods near his
home. when another boy, George
Jenkins, was shot and fatally
wounded with a bullet from
source that could only be con-
Jectured. The Blankens h D
child was accused of the crime,
arrested and held for bail, and
was afterward indicted by the
grand jury, but was released
from prison on bail. Since that
time the little fellows parents
have moved to Woodville, La,
whence this child of tender years
with a singular Gegree Of integri-
ty, came back alone, Of his own
volition, to stand trial for his life.
The boy, whose face has not yet
lost it's baby roundness, is now
in the county jIil, without N oney
to pay for legal advice, and in a
strange place where there is
none to speak word of hope or
encouragement; but his youth
and the signal fact of his volun-
tary fai 4 keeping with his bonds
men have won for him the sym
pathy OF the court, and he will
be defended by two of the most
prominent members of the Har-
rison county bar, Hon. w. II.
Maybin and Hon. t. IL. Barrett.
This case is attracting much
attention, for the reason that, if
a conviction should follow on
trial, the court is apt to be some
what puzzled to know what to do
further, as Mississippi has no
place for the Incarceration of
juvenile prisoners, and there is
said to be no sother case in the
records of the Mississippi courts
which could furnish a precedent.
The idea of the supreme penalty
for murder being imposed on the
boy is regarded as out of the
question,

Now hike We to the boneyards, We fos-
sis old and gray
These times are new and novel, you're
too helpless for the fray!
A time there was, 1 grant you, when
Wisdom we'll might score,
But I have fixed the limit, and the
limits Fifty-four!
There was Cato,-I concede it.-an illu-
strious fellow quite,
But he killed no bears at eighty if the
records written right:
And the jobs cavortipg round us never
were in years of yore,-
They're unfit for mollycoddles, and the
limits F'ifty-four.
There were Jefferson and Adams that
in their declining days
Did some little things that some folks
still remember with their praise;
But they couldn't bust a broneho,
couldn't ride across the floor,
Without touchin' leather promptly
and the limits Fffty-four.
There will be the toughest riding that
a grandsire ever got
Ere the Octopus is lassoed, or I'm fool
ed a mighty lot
And you graybeards at the roundup
would get locoed at the roar
If you're older than the limit and the
limits Fifty-four.
It's not experienced fossils that I'm
showing into place.
Neither dignity of manner nor a calm,
judicial face;
It's not aught of endless virtues that |
the world has sought before:
But Rough Riders first and always, |
and the limits Fifty-four!
An easy chairs the best thing and
warm room quite the rage
For the spindle-legged Oslards who |
are handicapped by age;
But husky men and hearty are the 4
chaps that keep the store
N the lexicon 1 study, and the limits Il
F'ifty-four! H
So hike We to the boneyards, We fossils
old and gray,
And bay the moons of midnight,-eve-
ry dog has had his day!
And instead of bones and biscuits. get
We breakfast foods galore
Cor your toothless mastications. while

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

A sensible woman In New York, a
worker in an associated charities or
ganization, has sent out some rules
about Christmas shopping which are
worth reading. Her main purpose is to
save the strain on children, clerks, and
working people generally to whom the
Christmas season is a nightmare on ac-
count of the hurry and rush of a
crowd of frenzied shoppers who put off
to the last day what can be done much
better weeks before the holidays. Here
are her suggestions:
First-Do as much as possible of
your shopping before December Is.
Second-Have it all done one week
before Christmas.
Third-Shop early in the day.
Fourth-Carry home as many par
GELS as possible.
Fffth-Do not ask to have parcels
delivered on the day of purchase.
Sixth-Do not ask to have articles
sent home on approval.
Seventh-Do not shop during lunch
hours, thus shortening the hour for the
clerks.
If these rules were followed by even
fair proportion of people who can do
SO as well as not. says a New York
paper, it would work a great relief
There are those. of course, who love
the stern struggle which is needed to
satisfy their demands in the last few
days of the rush of Christmas buying,
but anybody who can persuade the
public to do even part of this work
well in advance is a benefactor of the
human race. We are glad to do our
share in urging a reform that is so
we'll worth while.
