He has been tried many times, re-
ceived the death sentence three times,
and finally on his latest re-trial the
jury disagreed-ten for acquittal and
two for the full penalty of the law.
Governor Wilson epitomizes his
conclusions for exercising the par

contained in the tiniest seed and will
reveal itself with as absolute certain
ty as will rotlets and leaves when
proper conditions of heat, moisture
and light are accorded, so the germ
of the mind OF child is present In
his little body and will develop and
unfold itself with the growth of the
latter.
The only way to stop the growth of
childs mind is to stop his body from
growing Appetite is the mother Of
the mind, and muscle is its father.
At its lowest estimate the body with
its brain is the tool of the mind, and
good work cannot be done without
good tools.
The first test of muscular vigor,
the hand grasp, is an indication OF
the mental possibilities as we'll. Not
one child out of hundred who at
ten days of age grasps firmly and
clings to a finger or pencil rubbed
against his pink little palm will ever
fall below the average intelligence Of
his race.-W Home Com
