With the elimination Of Frederick

of Philadelphia have begun tracing
the movements OF the supposed
murderer OF Dr. William II. Wilson
through Bristol Trenton. Jersey City
and New York toward Boston. Fred.

satisfaction of the authorities that he

fore a magistrate and held in $500 bail
pending an investigation into The death
of his wife, Elizabeth Wilson Alexan

was preferred against the prisoner
Detectives simply stated that In inves

The Question That Won Good Pesi-
ton For Boy. 5.st
A lawyer wanted an apprentice and
placed an advertisement in the local
paper. A number OF boys replied, so
he gathered them all together in his
Office at once and looked them over.
he found it pretty hard to make a
choice, but at length happy idea
struck him.
''Once upon time" he said, "a
farmer was very much annoyed by q
huge rat that made very comfortable
living by feeding upon his grain and
other products. He tried traps Of all
kinds to catch it, but the willy rodent
evaded them all and apparently en-
joyed the game of hide and seek that
the farmer had devised for it's recrea.
ton One day, however, as the farmer
turned the corner of a haystack, car
rying a gun in his hand, he spied the
troublesome rodent at the edge of the
hay. Instantly raising his gun, he
fired, but the blazing gun wad dropped
among the hay
Here the lawyer stopped, and, look.
ing at the boys. he said. IF any Of you
want to ask a question, write it on a
piece of paper" Each did as'~sug-
gested, and here are some Of the ques-
tons that were asked: , .n'
did he set the hay on firew
"Was the stack burned to the
ground?' F..
"Did the farmer have his hay In.
sured?'
"Was the fire engine near at hand?"
"Was the rat killedY' g..
The boy that asked the last question
was chosen because he stuck to the
point.-American Photography.

A Greater Wonder.

An inspector was examining very
youthful class Of Scotch boys, and
among other subjects he requested the
teacher to ask her pupils few ques-
tons in nature knowledge. Desiring
her class to do her honor, she decided
upon the simple subject, Chickens"
"Now, children" she said, II want
you to tell me something very wonder
full about chickens" :
'''How they get out Of their Shells
promptly responded one little fellow.
E "Well," said the teacher, "that is of
course wonderful, but l mean some
thing more wonderful still"
There was silence for a few sec.
onds. Then up spoke little Johnny.
Please, ma'am, it's mair wonderful
hoo they ever got intae their shells."-

MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS
THE FARMER AND PROSPERITY.

There are some significant considera-
tons for the farmer in the events of
the past ten or dozen years. Admit
ting that there have been evils in the
management of big corporations, in the
conduct of some of the railroads and
that the great progress and prosperity
OF the country have brought new ques-
tons to decide it is significant that in
1896, corn in Chicago was % cents a
bushel and wheat was IS cents. Now
corn stands at 80 cents bushel and
wheat at 96 cents. So that if the
Astounding prosperity and growth of the
country has brought its evils it has
brought its compensation to the farmers
in the steadily increasing price of his
products .a:.>--... #...... ~.
Wheat at go cents bushel and wheat
at a dollar bushel should convince the
farmers that prosperity with its evils is
better than adversely with its train of
disadvantages. We. can remedy the evils
that exist in our industrial conditions,
but we must be careful than we do not
remedy the disease by killing the pa
tietrt. When business is active, when
development reaches into all sections of
the country, when railroads find it hard
to get cars and labor is everywhere
employed, the staples of the farmer are
steady and high in price. We could
remedy the shortage of cars by cut
ting off business-we tried that wear
ago, when for time there was some
half million of freight cars standing
idle. But when railroads suffer for the
lack OF business, labor suffers for the
lack Of employment and the farmer suf-
fers in the lowering of prices for his
grain We go up and down together
IN this country and no policy that de-
ciares for the permanent punishment of
one industry or class of industries, can
be persisted in without bringing disaster
to all the people. - ~

RATTLESNAKES' TEETH.

If You Should Happen to Get Any
Handle Them With Care.
The zoo keeper carefully unfolded a
small paper packet, which looked as Il
it might contain a headache powder.
"Want rattlesnakes tooth?" he in.
quired. -..:- .s.s5-
'Tooth?' ..E
'Well, call it a fang If you want to
but amt there something in the good
book about sharper than a serpent's
tooth? Look at this one and you'll
think that the old fellow that wrote
that must have known what he was
talking about"
He opened the paper and showed
what seemed like miniature horn
It was shaped like cow horn, which
has only one curve. 1T was yellowish
white, like a discolored tooth. T. ~
1t was about three-quarters Of an
inch long and sixteenth Of an inch
In diameter at the base, where. II
seemed as If it had been broken off.
The point was as sharp as a needle.
An eighth Of an inch back Of the point
on the outer curve Of the tooth, was
an opening, the end Of d sort Of tube,
which ran the whole length of the
tooth. .,a....,.. IS v&s
This little channel through the tooth
seemed to be full of dried substance,
which the zoo keeper evidently regard.
ed with proper suspicion, for he warn.
ed the recipient Of the tooth to handle
the same with care. He did not think
that one would get true case of snake
bite from one Of these discarded teeth,
but If the skin should be scratched OF
pierced by it a bad sore would prob.
ably result.
According to him, the keepers at the
zoo often pick up these loose teeth In
the snake cages. They are apparently
shed in the course Of natural changes,
something as the serpent sheds his
skin. They are not merely the snakes
baby teeth, for he sheds them more
than once.-Washington Post #
