PRACTICING ON THE CHILDREN
Barber Apprentices Seek to Invade
the schools I'm Tom JOhnsOn's
Town.

The idea that the community should do
everything for everybody again finds ex-
preston In the plan to have Clevelands
tQnsorlal novices try their prentice hands
on the flowing locks of such school chill
dren as desire to become clinical subjects.
The project has the merit of being up to
date, will be a good thing for the young,
BARRIERS and not necessarily a bad thing
for the children who consent to submit
their head to the shearer. 1t contains
possibilities of increased cleanliness and
pulehritude for some and involves In any
event nothing more serious than tempo
rary mutilstion.
II we must thus train our BARRIERS. how
ever, It is well to recall that barber who
can only cut hair is only half an artist
Happily the problem of what he shall do to
be shaved bothers the school boy no more
than IT does his sister but our BARRIERS
must become masters of the razor as well
as the shears; and since the schools can
not well provide the necessary laboratory
material, since there Is still some doubt
as TO the power even OF a municipality to
cause hair to grow on a child's face, II Is
evident that material for the new expert
ment must be found in others no more
capable than our school children of resist
ing altruism's progress.
Thanks to one OF those inspirations for
which the country is so often indebted 10
the west, the Cleveland problem Is solv-
able A newborn Utah idea is to permit
the states dental students to put the nm
ishing touches 10 their education by oper-
ating upon the states eonyiets. Thus far
none but the convicts seem to have filed
! their protests Certainly Utah's medical
! students will not object since they doubt
less see In this proposal the hope that the
convicts who survive the dentists may yet
be turned over to them for experiments In
vivlsection.
/ In any event, the Utah idea is worth
pondering. Should our workhouse prison
! ers, for example, be daily shaved by APP
! prentice BARRIERS there is no estimating
the beneficial results, merely as a deter
rent to crime. with this Incidental pen
/ atty added to imprisonment. the eyilly dis
/ posed would have a double reason for
keeping out of mischief. Clearly II would
mean better citizens for Cleveland as wen
as better barbers.-Cieveland Leader.

Two PhiIOsOpbic Friends stop Under

the Weaknesses of Their
Fellow MortaIs.

The Careful Observer and the Oldest In

arc lamp last evening. feeling the public
pulse viewing with alarm and pointing
with pride. tHi
Il agree with President Roosevelt" re-
marked the Careful Observer, "that there
Is an element OF danger in prosperity, and
that In times of plenty we should cut up
pue OF stove wood for the day when the
northwest gale blows and Jack Frost deftly
retouches the window paries with glistening
art effects. note that some of those who
get their names In the female help wanted

the note Of warning he has sounded. He
Is not pessinist. but is merely pointing
out the national Ills that may attack a
people who have had rapid financial growth.
When shedding is easy we are apt to put
our feet up on the cross-bar, let the brakes
on and wake up on a white cot with a
kind nurse giving out bulletins to the press.
President Roosevelt and Secretary shaw
are national beacon lights illuminating the
danger points, and they are indicators of
the national tension.
1t is trait OF human nature TO forget
the pages OF history and the wood box
when the cash drawer is full and a meal
ticket paid for. We must learn the lesson

Il know from experience" replied the
Oldest Inhabitant that we are apt to
become arrogant when we have s1045 saved

In lot Of good things. And so I. too,
think it is well for such men as Roosevelt
and Shaw to just remind us to put away a
little nest egg for rainy day. But l
don't believe we will have any more rainy
days. / see that Local Forecaster Welsh
has predicted rain several times, but no
rain comes. He even predicted & wet moon.

Man COnfeases Crime for which
Another was Convicted.
TECUMsEH, Neb.. Feb. 3-(Special y
Word comes TO Tecumseh that ''Reddy'
Williams. a former well known character
Of Auburn. has just been sentenced to
twenty years in the Idaho penitentiary. IL
is said the charge was forgery, and
another story is 90 the effect that Williams
attempted to wreck a train in the north
west. 1t IL also said that Williams, since
receiving his sentence. has confessed to be-
ing the guilty party in the somewhat famous
BLOODHOUND burglary case OF Auburn.
A residence was robbed in that town on
the night Of July 4. 1903. and the next
-snorhing bloodhounds were put on the trail
OF the burglar. The dogs went from the
house directly to the home of George Brott,
then a resident Of that town. but who now
lives in Tecumseh.
Brott was arrested and tried in the dis-
trict court OF Nemaha county and was sem
fenced 10 the Nebraska penitentiary upon
the bloodhound" evidence only. The man
always maintained his Innocence and
through the Efforts Ct his attorneys, j. s.
Mccarthy and II. A. Lambert, his case was
taken to the supreme court That court
decided that bloodhound" evidence alone
was not sufficient, and Brott was sent back
70 Auburn for another trial. Arrangements
were made by the prosecution for Brott to
give his own bond in the sum Of $500 TO APP
pear for trial. This he did and he was never
again tried. Brott served nearly two years in
the penltentiary. and after being given his
freedom he returned to Tecumseh. his
former home and the home Of his parents
where he went 10 work at the printer
trade He Is aged abcht 20 years and has
n wife and two children.
Brott hos secured legal advice and an.
hounces his intention OF bringing suit for
damages In the sum OF $1,000 against the
Auburn parties who caused his arrest and
prosecution under the BLOODHOUND" evil
dence. Some interesting. developments are
promised.
