According to the story told by the

of the crime are very revolving, and if
the girl can stand the cross examina-

before the jury and be made to stand,
the man will be convicted and in all
probability receive heavy sentence.
The alleged crime occurred at the
home of the girls parents at Kelley, on

made his getaway at the. time, was

Inmates of GIenwood School Show

Remarkable Ability.
Glenwood, Jan. 19.-The institution
for feeble minded children in this city
has several idiot savants" which are
regarded as remarkable or even more
remarkable than any others in the Uni
ted States. One inmate is used as a
calendar and late record, another is
utilized as a dictionary, another is en-
ployed as ready calculator and 9TH
ers show the marvellous, but unex-
plainable traits of the learned idiots"
A. r. Schier NJ D., assistant sup
erintendent Of the institution here had
just made his report as required by
the legislature. The most astounding
case he believes is that of John S.,
taken into the institution when he was
IL years old and who has been there
twenty-three years. He is the mental
bookkeeper of the home. When the
date Of any occurrence about the insti-
tuition is desired as information John
S. gives it. He recalls without error,
the date of the employment of new
hand, or the entrance and discharge of
an inmate. IL he has seen visitor at
the home he can recall exact date of
at that time and some of the incidents
connected Herewith, even if it occurr-
ed years before. If given the day Of
the month, the month and year of any
occurrence as far back as thirty-fve
years, John S. will without hesitation,
tell on what day Of the week that date
fell. Asked how he does it, he replies
listlessly that he doesn't know.
A most marvellous ability is shown
by a boy inmate, about 16 years Of
age He can neither read nor write
yet he can readily spell any word given
him, and, as DR.. Schier says: HE has
been tried with uncommon words time
and again and never failed to spell cor
rectly He is constantly called upon
to settle spelling disputes and is as re-
liable as dictionary" Both of his
parents were insane.

can multiply three figures by three fig
ures as rapidly as they can be writ
ten down. He never fails in his null
duplication feats, but his addition, sub
traction and division are not correct.
A 17-year-old boy, r. G. L., without
education is able to mould the forms OF
animals with almost miraculous per-
lection. Other figures he cannot make.
He was found one day mixing saliva
with dust and moulding figures of an

were perfect in detail.

RoOSEvELTS STRONG HOLD.
People Like His Way of Trying 10

From the Cleveland Leader
Many personal characteristics contribute
20 the remarkable hold which the Presi-
dent has upon the people. They like his
impulsive blunness. his coura &c. and his
uHfagging interest in everything which
counts much in human life They admire
him as a father. a husband, and q good
citizen in the smaller duties and ayoca-
tons Of his many-sided career They like
his hearty, CHEEKY way Of looking upon
the difficult problems or the times.
But the one great hold which Theodore
Roosevelt has upon his fellow-country-
men is his unquenchable. all-peryadinS
eagerEess for results He stands for
action and success. He personihes power
50 used that il wins. He embOdies the
masterful American spirit which prefers
failure 90 lack Of effort and is tempted 10
great undertakings by their difficulty.
The people Ike Roosevelt's way Of de-
handing at least an honest attempt to
right what is wrong and do what ought
70 be done. They are as unwilling as he
is that the most potent and resourcefuI OF
all nations should confess its inability 10
solve hard problems and overcome great
obstacles.
The President has spoiled his country
men for anything less virile than his own
impotence with weak and timid acqui-
essence in error and submission 70 ills
which are manifestly Of human origin. No
successor can hope To satisfy the Amer
lean people without striving nightly and
necessarily TO clear the way 10 better
conditions than have ever yet been
reached by any great nation.
