n OOKS for girls are sometimes so
Il filled with stories of their non
~ sense, or so decidedly priggish
that real flesh and blood girls can not
bear to read them, and turn in dis
gust from this specially prepared
mental pabulum to something more
romantic more lively and frequently
alas-decidedly more filled with per-
nicious ideas.
The cheap moves which many school
girls read, borrowed perhaps from big
sisters boudoir lbrary-and never in
tended for the younger eyes to see, are
indeed unfortunate books for girls who
should be realizing the sweet pleasure
of innocent, enlivening and wholesome
reading. But books of this sort which
would have a beneficial effect upon the
girls of school age are far from plenti-
full, especially when the need of maxi
ing them appeal to young readers in
whom the love of that which is ro-
mantle and slightly adventurous is be-
ginning to awaken.
The stories of Betty Baird, of which
three have now appeared, combine at
once the most interesting of these
qualities, while implanting only simple
ideas of good natured, unpretentious
existence as it is understood by Betty
and her parents. The sweet, graceful
mother, the underpaid clergyman ia
ther and the mortgage which is some
thing akin to the skeleton in so many
homes of similar status give familiar
and charming background to the story.

JOKERS' DAY

My Dear Boys and Girls
T AM going to talk a little while to
you on the subject of April Fool
= Franks. AS a wise woman once
said, 1.-The time to be sorry is before
hand" so 1 shall try to make some of
you sorry beforehand and maybe pre-
vent some mistakes.
There is limit even when boys and
girls are playing pranks. No one can
possibly object to really funny trick,
but some grown people as we'll as
children have very queer ideas as to
the difference between the amusing
and the annoying.
l am afraid if Mary should in max
ing fathers morning coffee put in
some ingredient that would spoil it
that father, being in a hurry, would
fail to see the joke If Tom should
call to Henry: "Oh, Henry, I've some-
thing for YOU" and Henry, running
around the corner, should be met with
a drenching, either from a pail or the
hose, he would have good cause to be
angry for besides wetting his clothes
and thereby making his mother an
extra amount of work he runs the
chance of catching cold.
Playing tricks on dumb animals is
also on the wrong side of the line. If
Fido could understand when John
pulls his tail that it is only the first
of April, and Therefore he mustn't mind,
John might be excused, but unfortu-
nately Fido is not educated to the
point Of knowing the calendary days,
and when the offending week comes he
feels hurt both in mind and body
Sometimes pranks are played that
hurt peoples feelings, but l know my
Juniors would never do an unkind
thing that could possibly hurt any
one unless through thoughtlessness.
1 am very proud of the new Herald
Junior pennants. They were made
by Dyas-Clne, from a special design
with the phrase Il. a. Herald Junior
and l am sure that you will like them
quite as well as l do,
They will be on hand by the time
you win your next prizes and will
serve to remind you of the good times
you have had with the Herald Junior.
They will be fine to carry to the mid
summer frolic next summer and will
be much in evidence, am sure, when
we have our various other summer
trips. l have not decided yet whether
or not we shall repeat the Redondo
Beach excursions, and will be glad to
have an expression as to those prizes
from all of you whenever you write.
The new Current Topics contest Is
now announced and I shall be glad to
have a great many contributions for
it. You will see that for the present at
least | have discontinued the unfin-
ished story department, and have made
some changes in the prizes for the
writer's contest.
All the boys and girls who have
asked for political subjects may now
write out their views, and hope that
they will be keen in their opinions and
not afraid to express them, either.
With love to you ALL

j AVALANCHE OF LIME ROCK.
100000 Tons Fall at RockIand Quar-
-Workmen Escape.

Rockland. Me-, Oct. 21-The larg-
est avalanche in the history of the

Wednesday south of the Pleasant
street iron bridge, when a mass of
earth and lime rock. estimated at
100, 900 tons. fell from the eastern cliff
of one of the BlackintOn farm quar-
rieS.

occurred four men had been working

that they had suspended work for
lunch alone prevented a tragedy AS
it was. the men We're all out OF danger

1t was on the bridge that President
Taft stood only few weeks ago. look
ing into the largest lime quarry in
he world and pronounced it one OF
the most remarkable sights he had
ever seen.
Nature sounded warning when loose
chlpS began to fall into the quarry
at the feet of the worl,men The
situation became so tense at 10 O'Clock
that George w. +tmes. foreman of the
quarry, ordered the men out and gave
directions to stop work on the cliff.
Against his orders, it is said. the
rnen stayed thera until lunch hour.
Fifteen minutes later the rock on
which they had stood was a jumbled
mass 200 feet below. The amount of
stone carried into the quarry is esti-
mated to he equivalent to 500. 900 casks
OF lime, or more than nne-third of the

Regarding the letters and state
ments to Belle Elrnores friends which
the husband had. made regarding her
death, Crippen admitted that all were
lies and smilngly assented to the
suggestion that he had to play the
role of a bereaved husband.
When Mr.. Muir asked Crippen if he
thought he had played the part Of a
bereaved husband well, the witness
smiled and replied:
That is for others to Judge
Lord Chief Justice Alverstone and
Counsel Muir piled the witness with
questions regarding his use Of hyoscin,
a poison which the prosecution alleges
was administered to Belle Elmore and
caused ncr death CripDen admitted
that he had not purchased any hyoScir
before or after the occasion proven
by the crown and on which lie ad-
m;tted buying the drug. He could not
mama any patients for whom he had
prescribed hyoscin.
The witness suggested that it was
possible that the human parts found
in the cellar of his home had been
placed there during periodical alb
scnce Of himself and wife.
The cross eXaminatiOn developed
that Ethel Clara LIE Neve. the doctors
| typ;st, who is now charged as an
accessory after the fact in the muir
der OF Mrs. Crippen, had slept in the
house on the night of Feb. 2, within
"a hours after mis- wife had disap-
peared. Witness said that he resolved
to go away on July after realizing
that suspicion had been directed
against him. He feared that he might
be jailed until she was found. He
wished also TO spare Miss LIE Neve,
whom he persuaded to disguise her
self and quit London by explaining
that the statement which he had
maize to Inspector Dew involved her
as well as himself He told the girl
that there would be scandal and
that if his wife was not located. there
would be trouble. The only way of
escape was for both to start a new
home together, abroad.
| Crippen was under ross-examina-
ton for practically four hours
Throughout that time he was the per-
soniffcatiOn OF GOODNESS. He respond :
Ell to the rapidly put and searching
questions promptly, sometimes SInll-
ingly and always in a calm tone of
voic" such as would be natural to a
man ready to explain a series of events
concerning which he has nothing to
hide.

Of the Pathological Institute of the
Gordon hospital, was called as the
next witness for the defense He blunt
~ declared that the so-called scar on
the body of the victim could not pos
sibly be scar.
DR.. Turnbull said that a microscopic
exam inatiOn had convinced him that
the mark on the body had been caused
by a folding Of the skin under pres
sure. When the witness stated that
it was not characteristic OF a. scar
to be wider al the bottom than at the
top, the Lord Chief Justice interposed
with the remark that the witness
differed with Prof. Pepper, who had
performed hundreds OF operations and
asked DR. Turnbull whether he mad

that he had not.
Dr.. Reginald {. B. Wall, assistant
physician at London hospital and
Brornpton hospital, was called next
BY he defense. He testified that as
a result Of three examinations he had
conc luded thai the disputed mark was
not scar. He had found a sebaceous
glar1 within the area OF the so-called
scar. The Importance Of this evil
denre rests On the admission by the
medical experts for the prosecution
that the c0-eXistence of a scar and a

closed the evidence for the defense.
