: Kansas City, Nov. 23.-It was in a
vain effort to save the life of his lit
tie grandson that Congressman Day.
I'd A. DeArmond of the Sixth Mis-
souri, district; perished in fire that
destroyed his home in Butler, Mo-,
early today.
The heroism Of the congressman
was made known late this afternoon,
when, with his arms locked around
the blackened and burned body of the
little boy, the congressman's' body
was found. He had caught up the
six year old lad David A. DeArmond,
sJr.. and rushed with him through
the leaping flames that filled their
sleeping room.
The congressman fell with his un-
conscious burden, and both sank
through the floor to quick death.
What makes the tragedy unusually
pathetic is the fact that the grandson
was the grandfather's idol. The two
were insepargble. anu often slept to-
;gether.~ Last night the boy went to
his sgrandfa house as usual and
after happy evening the two retir-
ed. The next the family heard of
them was early today when from be-
hind the smoke and flames that en-
veloped the house, the boys screams:
ooh, grandpa, get me out of here
quick, I'm burning to DEATH"
Eyes, son. don't be afraid. Grand
pa will take you out" was the calm
reply.
Then both went down to their
death. The remainder of the family
sleeping in the house at the time of
the f1re-Mrs. DeArmond, his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Clark and Miss Nettie Boles
were greatly shaken by their ex-
perience.
Messages of coincidence from all
parts of the country were received by
the DeArmond's this afternoon.
James A. DeArmond. editor of the
Bates County Democrat, who is a
son of the congressman and is the
father of the boy, who was burned,
tried to rush into the burning house
to save the victims, but was prevent
ed by friends who knew his efforts
would be in vain.

!Rv Associated Press,)

Waltham, Mass, Nov. 23.-Miss
Hattie Leblanc, the seventeen year
old domestic whom Clarence F. Glov-
er, her employer, charged with shoot
ing him before he died Saturday
night, was found tonight in the
Glover home.
The funeral of the dead man had
taken place there during the after
noon. The girl was arrested.
Since the shooting in Glover's laun-
dry Saturday night and his deathbed
statement in which he charged Miss
Leblanc with his DEATH, the police
had searched extensively for her.
The attitude of Mrs. Glover in refus-
ing the visit her husband when he
was dying and in disclaiming rela-
tionship with the Leblanc girl, al
though the latter's sisters claimed
they were cousins, had caused the au.
thorities to seek an explanation from
her.
The suspicious of an undertaken
aroused by something he had seen or
heard in the house while preparing
Glover's body for burial, led the au-
thorities to search the house for the
girl.
Mrs. Glover was not consulted. 1t
was in room on the first floor, en-
tirely apart from the fiat which the
Glovers occupied which was on the
second floor, that the girl was found.
Mr.. Glover had used this room solely
during his life. Lying prostrated
and close to the wall, the girl was
found under the only bed In the room
She shrunk away as the police at

they seized her dress she came from

Without informing Mrs. Glover the
officers hurried the girl to the police
station. .:T''.''.
At the station, the girl was put
through an exhaustive questioning.
An interpreter was necessary as the
girl speaks little English. She was
still closeted with the officers at mid
night.

JAMESTOWN THOMPSON MAY
have Been THE MURDERER

Chicago, Nov. 23.-(SpeciaD 1.-The
police of St. Paul, Mimi, are making
efforts to connect the Harry J. May,
who was killed in an explosion at
Laporte, Ind, last month with the
murder OF Mrs. Frances Gilmore
Thompson, who was strangled to-
death in Michigan avenue rooming
! house in Chicago, on July 1, 1908, and
for whose death Luman G. Mann, of
Chicago, was tried and acquitted.
1t was learned yesterday that May
; who was known as double-life ad-
, venturer, formerly had gone under
! the name of Thompson and that he
had lived in jamestown, N. D. At
the Mann trial it was learned that
Mrs. Thompson before her marriage
; had lived at Fargo, N. D., and that
she frequently was visited there by
Thompson May. alias Thompson. The
woman was in Chicago on visit
when she was killed and the police
learned Thompson was absent from
Jamestown about that time.
Police Inspector Wheeler said last
night that shortly after Mrs. Thomp-
son was murdered man who gave
the name of Thompson, who had been
mentioned in connection with her
death, called on him and oered con-
vincing evidence that he had not been
in the city at the time.
At the time of the Mrs. Thompson
murder a mysterious "Mr. Raymond"
was mentioned in the case and the
St. Paul police believe the man killed
at Laporte and Raymond were one

tion of Thompson is said to fit the

The suspicion in the minds of the
people of Laporte that deep mys

Of May, who was vice president of
the Laporte Stone Manufacturing
pany and inventor of waterproof
and weather-prcof cement block, was
confirmed when Mrs. H. H. Thomp-
son." of jamestown, made inquiries
Saturday for particulars of the ex-
plosion.
Mrs. Thompson claims that the
dead man was her husband and that
his name was not Harry J. May, but
Harry H. Thompson. Mrs Thomp-
son also says the woman who lived
with May in Laporte from March,
this year. until the explosion, and
who posed as his wife, was woman
from Fargo, N. d. The real name Of
this woman has not been ascertained.
These facts, the police think, bear
out the theory that MAY" may have
been the Thompson who visited
Miss Gilmore while she was at Far
go. . vi sS~s$ I

THAT famous philologist, Gessner
 Harrison, of the University of Vir-
 x ginia, held the chair of Latin at a time when there was quite rage
 among young Virginians for going to Ger many to study. The professor of Latin is reported by one of his old students as saying to his class: "Young gentlemen who do not carry brains to Germany will not bring back brains from Germany" This caution is not confined to the study of the "dead' languages; it applies to most human pursuits. As generalized, it would read thus: What you get from one place will depend upon what you carry to the place." Now, suppose We apply this principle to the weekly prayer meeting at your church. Did you get much out of it last time you attended? And if not, then why not? Did you carry Q praying heart to the meeting? Did you ask God s blessing upon the meeting before leav- ing home? Did you carry to the meet ing any distinct intention to get any spir- itual good out of 1t, or to put any spir- itual good into it? Or, was your going a matter of mere routine? Or, did you go lest somebody should think less of your piety if you stayed at home? It is not necessary that you should answer these questions to any one except yourself; but if you will give five minutes to reflection upon the matters suggested in them it will probably help you at the next prayer meeting, and thus you will be prepared to help the meeting, and the meeting will help a good many other people. Good is pretty sure to spread at prayer meet ing. Victor Hugo used to say that 'the value of 8 prayer depends upon the

amount of thought that is put into it." He may not be regarded as high authority in such matters, but there was sense in his remark.

 Perhaps the worst definition of "ge- nius" that was ever given Is the so-called "Carlylean" one:-"Genius Is an inn mense capacity for taking pains.' Prob ably no competent critic, nay, no thought ful reader, ever imagined that Carlyle himself took much pains in writing his Latter Day Pamphlets" On the con trary, they seem to have been dashed off "at heat" and in the heat of a very bad temper and that temper greatly exacerbated by what he called his "dia- bolical contriyance of a stomach" Reason and least of all. judgment, had little employment on them.

in Dublin were obliged to live in delapi- dated old tenements in the slums. Yice and crime and dirt and drunkenness found a fruitful soil in such places. It seemed that dirt and poverty were the elements upon which the saloon thrived, and prob ably 1t was, for many people drink to drown their misery, but now all that is changed; there are new houses, cement sidewalks. asphalt streets. plenty of wa ter public baths and wash houses and playgrounds for the children The men are sober, the women are tidy, the chil- dren are elean and the low-down saloon Is gone. There is no further misery to drown.
 Every city has it's poor. probably its very poor, but quite different is the look of the poor in Dublin from what 1t is in Liverpool or London. It is the hungry look of the poor in Liverpool that con- trasts with the rosy-faced well-fed look of the poor in Dublin. If the political economist were to speak instead of the politcan he would tell England that her danger lies in her own hungry millions and not in German war ships or flying machines. The time is coming, If 1t has not already come, when the land of En- gland must be returned to the people just as is being done in Ireland.
