Sells 1t scenes is to be pardonsd at
last. For several days there has
been frequent telephone communica-
tion between the state house and
Erie, Kss, and Governor Hoch has
decided to release the famous prison
er, probably early In January. Sells
has been in the penitentiary since
1885 for the murder OF his father
and mother and brother and sister.
The crime was committed March 6,
1886, on the Sells farm q few miles
from Erie, Kss. The assassin struck
his victims with a Ratchet and cut
their throats with a butcher knife.
There has always been doubt as to
the guilt Of Willie Sells, 1t being con-
tended that a 16-yesr-old boy would
have had difficulty In killing four
persons, three OF whom we're grown.
There have been many efforts to OBJ.

The Universal Gifts.

An old farmer was talking OF MS
boyhood to a group of young people
not long ago. 1t had been liyed-that
far-away boyhood-early in the last
century, in a country place remote
from towns. He described its meager
conditions-the houses, in which such
things as convenience" hHH never
been dreamed OF. the coarse food and
pcor clothing, the scanty schooling,
the few holidays; no magazines, al
most no books, no entertainments or
sports except an occasional sleighing
party; no "junketings," no celebra'
ton of Christmas or New Year. no
vacations from work. Nothing that
