RED ANTS EAT
INDIANA MAN
Horrible Experience Leads to
Death.

Los Angeles, Cal. Aug. 27.-After
lying helpless under a tree near the
ostrich farm east of the city from Sun
day afternoon until Tuesday night, his
life slowly ebbing away, while red
ants swarmed over his body and lit
orally ate him alive. Burton B. Jarvis,
% years old, contracting teamster of
% Chestnut street, Terre Haute, Ind,
died at the county hospital, where he
was taken when found.
Jarvis was suffering from tuberculo-
sis and came to California two years
ago. Last Sunday he left his hotel
in the afternoon to go to the ostrich
farm for pleasure trip. On the way
he became faint and, walking over to
a shade tree, lay down. Instead of
recovering his strength he tainted
and did not regain consciousness until
long after dark Tuesday night
For two days and nights he lay
helpless with ants and other insects
tormenting him. Occasional passers-
by thought the man under the influ-
ence of liquor and did not go to his
assistance. Late Tuesday evening
help came and he was taken to the
hospital.

THE MODEL FARM,

The papers are full of Rockefeller's
removal into a summer home of vast
and great dimensions an estate
which prince of the blood need not
scorn. The Tarrytown people are
pleased. Rockefeller has given en-
ployment to hundreds of people on his
estate and the prices of labor have
arisen to dizzy heights-a common
teamster gets about five dollars a
day. Rockefeller is hailed as a patron
saint of industry in those parts.
At the same time New England
agricultural journal has devoted some
attention to the real effect of the
wealthy man as farmer. The model
farm, it holds, is menace to the
small every day farmer.
THE inroads which the wealthy
man who makes his money elsewhere
and who treats his farm as play
thing are highly deleterious to the
community in which he is situated
The most dangerous hardship which
the agriculturist has to bear is the
rise in wages to unheard of figures
which often prevent the small farmer
from harvesting his crops. The farm
er can not get enough men to work for
him and many disadvantages ensue."
But not the least danger is the
aping of the small farmer of the ways
of his wealthy neighbor. The danger
of American life has always been the
living above the income. Heretofore
the only place which has been kept
free from the worst form of this evil
has been the country. The farmers
wife and family who pattern after
their wealthy neighbors. is on the
path to ruin
But in the latter paragraph it is
hard to agree with the agricultural
journal The aping of the more well
to do has never been confined to the
city. Furthermore the copying of ex.
pensive habits and the sedulous pat

A PARTING MESSAGE.

"Just then the president espied a man
wearing a Grand Army button and he
said: You know that the generals
could lead you and your comrades in
to the fight, but you know also that
you had to do the fighting"
If there ever was an appropriate ut
terance in conclusion to service well
done, the president made it yesterday.
1t is often said that Roosevelt awak-
ened the public conscience. 1t might
better be said that he and the people
went into the fight together. What
would, or could. Roosevelt have done
without the people behind him?
Therefore, at the close of his term
of office, whether consciously or not.
he struck the keynote which must be
acted on by the American people, the
everyday voters are losing a valiant
and great general in their fight for the
right. They are to be under a new
leadership. Roosevelt lays stress on
the part which the citizen must unre-
mittingly play, they have to do the
fighting"
And this applies not only to national
policies in the election of men who
will do the peoples will by sheer force
of fear of their constituency if nothing
else, but it applies to local politics.
The fight is truly half won. AS Gov
ernor Folk said. When the people
have attained the place where nothing
bad is allowed 10 creep in, the hardest
struggle is to accomplish real good"
There is no indication that the fu-
ture will be lacking in good generals

not against class. is equally important.

story anyway. If they were not ru-

in some other way.
The first evil is, it is to be feared a
real one which no farmer could COM
bat. The second evil is one which
any man, woman or child with real

As he read his eyes grew wide with

the faraway prisoner.
A shout forged TO his lips. He hug

himself into a chair to eagerly read

''She will die of joy!'' he half sobbed
in the transports of exhilaration. Five
minutes later he was on his way TO her
hotel, clutching the priceless letter in
his bare fingers deep down In his over
coat pocket. He had shouted over the
phone that the good news would not

up for him with Mr.. and Mrs. Gable,
consumed by curiosity.

COE IDENTIFIED
BY FORMER FRIENDS
Remains of indianapolis Muir
derer Arrived There
Last Night.
KENTUCKY SHERIFF LAUDED
MAN WHO SHOT JESSE coE is
ONE OF THE MOST TALKED OF
MEN IN INDIANAPOLIS-cU
IOUS ONES VIEW REMAINS.

Indianapolis, Aug. 21.-The body
of Jesse Coe, murdered of Patrolman
Charles Russell. was brought TO this
city at II 90 O'Clock last night by
Sheriff j. E. Bryant and his deputy, T.
G. Conklin of Tomkinsville, Ky. and
was positively identified. The Ken
lucky sheriff who told the Indianapo-
lice police about one year ago that he
would capture the murderer is today
the most -talked-of man in Indianapo-
lis.
Immediately after the arrival OF the
train bearing the body of Coe the box
was removed to the city mOrgue. The
police had some difficulty in keeping
the crowd back, at the Union station.
At the police station fully ! 800 people
waited outside for the arrival of the
motor truck that had gone TO transfer
the body to the mOrgue.
So great was the crowd that several
extra policemen were pressed into ser
vice to clear the court in front of the
morgue door. Chief of Police Metz
ger, mounting upon a chair so he could
be seen by the crowd, implored them
to keep back far few moments.
Every one of you Will be given an
opportunity to see the body tonight"
he said, and with assurance the
crowd moved back.
First to be called into the morgue
were Little Crawford, 551 Darnell
street, a former companion of Goes
when the latter lived in the Kentucky
hills, and William Jackson, whose
yard was the scene of the double trag-
edy when Patrolman Russell and his
were killed by Coe and George Will
liams on the night of Sept. 10, 1906.
That's Him, Sure"
That's him sure" said Crawford.
Not bit of doubt of it being Jesse
Coe," said Jackson, as he peered into
the opened coffin. Later ]. H. Rus
sell of 321 East Court street, colored
man who said he was well acquainted
with the murderer. confirmed the iden-
tification. Pat Roach. formerly city
Eatrolman, who ran the district" with
both Russell and Petticord. positively
identified the body as that of Coe.
Roach had arrested Coe a short time
before the killing of his two brother
officers, and on the evening of the
tragedy he had ordered Coe to quit
loafing about on the corners on his
beat.
When the Identification was COM
pleted Chief Metzger again mounted
the chair in the court and announced
that the body would be brought out
side the morgue. where every one
could pass around and view it.

BITTER AND SWEET.

Those who listened to Gillian last
night must have been struck with the
nearness of tears and laughter. The
grave look which in unguarded mo-
ments stole over the humorists face
were Illuminating to any observer of
human life.
Most of us have known men who
have suffered cheerfully and died with
smile and CHEEKY word. These
are the true men. Why is it that our
greatest wits, our funny men, are
tired and worn? No man can per
ceive and appreciate the best, the
laughter and sunshine of life. who has
not also tasted the gall of the cup of
sorrow.
Sunshine after shadow. What a
world it is. Watch the children.
When they play it is hard to tell the
laughter from the convulsive sob. Il
is here that the great humorist must
tap the fountain springs of humanity
And Gillian has done it-not by clev-
erness, but in that harder, truer
school of the world The bitter and
the sweet
There is lesson for each-a lesson
which must be learned by experience
and which can only be pointed out.
Hard knocks are harder if they are
not met honestly and cheerfully. They
vanish with a smile. Our greatest
humorists get down to the hard pan of
human suffering and pick out the gold
in the muddy clay. 1t is a lesson
worth the suffering. Smile,
MORNING IN THE GARDEN.
The cosmos stalks have grown so fast
I've got to nip the tops of them;
My sweet peas all have gone to seed;
l think I'll raise two crops of them
I wonder if those little things the
white clematis vine is showing
Are blossom buds or if it means some
more new tendriled vines are grow
ing.
l hope the next big poppy bud that
bursts from out its dropping prison
Will show finer color than do those
that so far have arisen.
See how the heliotrope has grown and
spread it's scented, purple petals!
See how those red geraniums glow,
like gold among the baser metals,
Those dahlias-can't you see them
stretch and spread out, even as you
watch 'em?
hope they'll be the deep red kind,
with little specks of white to blotch
EN-
In that small paper bag you see upon
the biggest vine is hidden
The only bunch of grapes I've got
no bird feast there, for guests I'M
hidden,
The sumacs flaming berries stand in
clustered spikes that point to heaven
Just look at that verbena bed-ten
plants are there; l planted 'leven!
And all along the porchs edge the
white hydrangea's SHOWS are way
ing,
While of the asters / put out but two
remain still worth the saving.
Thus round my garden day by day
drift with loving touch and tender,
| And gratefully to all things give the
little service | can render.
