Shopping in Mldocean.

The wireless message pulsing over
the sea has put the voyaging finan.
cier In daily communication with the
bourses of New York. London and
Paris. Even in midocean the capital
list may buy or sell. with Wow to
the protection or the profit OF his
purse. But 1t were vain for mere
man to imagine that he could reserve
this fundamentally to his exclusive
use. II the wireless can be utilized
to make or to conserve money. It fol-
lows as the night the day that 1t Is
available for spending money.
The enterprlsing merchant could
not fail to be alert to this opportun-
ity to increase the debit side OF fair
clients account. Fathers, husbands,
brothers have cherished the thought
that when their dear ones were safe
ly at sea In swift and luxurious pal
aces, the item OF shopping was in a
state OF at least temporary desuetude.
But not so; the ribbon counter and the
show cases have been extended figura.

lady fair may now indulge her pen
chant for shopping even in mid-ocean.
Every department store in great cit
les near the Atlantic coast will be
topped with its tall electric mast and
maintain an operator at Its foot. Bull
'letins OF bargains may be published
on shipboard. Moreover, II the lady
is on her way home with a depicted

to meet every tip OF every steward
on board and make sure that some Of
her men.folk meet her with more sup.

Why suffer these paltry weeds?"
Weeping, the poor things faltered:

q - o.
Wouldn't 1t be interesting to know
just what some folks are trying to
raise in their homes, or what they
propose to make out of the children
that have been intrusted to them to
be moulded into shape, and fitted for
a place in the world?
The old poets idea Of the home be-
ing like unto garden is not only
pretty. but very suggestive.
The gardner may have weeds or
roses just as he elects. II he be wise
he will keep down the weeds in order
to allow the roses more room in which
to spread and grow, besides providing
more abundantly the energy neces-
sary for strong and sturdy growth.
OF course the roses will grow in
some sort of fashion among the weeds,
but the fashion will not be such as to
command the admiration Of those who
find them, and especially of those who
know perfect roses when they see
them.
Nor will the gardner take much
pride in them, and eventually aban.
don the garden to the weeds and
bugs that destroy and kill that which
Is good and beautiful q
To have beautiful home you must
be as careful and watchful as II you
were developing garden Of roses.

Mr.. Watson has come and gone.
He was given an attentive and re-
spectful hearing by one of the largest
audiences that ever gathered in Daw-
son, but it is hardly probable that he
persuaded any considerable number
that it will be right for them to bolt
the recent State primary and with
hold their votes from any one of the
nominees. But let no one deceive
himself into the belief that the
Thomson editor is without follow
ing-is dead one-or is crazy. The
ovation that was given him here
Saturday by old-time Populists, who
came from a half dozen counties and
travelled long distances to hear him,
and the old-time power with which
he presented his views belle such be-
liefs. 1t is mistake to suppose that
he can be disposed of in that way.
No matter how much we may disap-
prove of what he is now doing, can
dor compels the statement that no
one could witness these scenes with
out realizing that Tom Waston is
still leader of men, and will be an
important factor in the political af-
fairs of Georgia just as long as he
chooses to be. He served notice that
from now on he will be strictly on
the job" and those who are opposed
to the man and his methods may as
well prepare for some old-fashiOned
political crapping.-Dawson (Ga.)

BETTER THAN SPANKING

Spanking does not cure children of
bed wetting. There is a constitutional
cause for this trouble. Mrs. M Sum-
mers, Box 460, South Bend, Ind, will
send free to any mother her successful
home treatment, with full instructions.
Send no money, but write her today If
your children trouble you in this way.
Don't blame the child, the chances are
it can't help it. This treatment also
cures adults and aged people troubled
with urine difficulties by day or night.

aching you never thought you could
experience.
I'm few weeks the holidays with
their lights and festivities and hap
piness will be here, and many a
Christmas will roll over you in your
iron cage and high stone wall, but
you will never hear a child laugh
again.
'You are so elated now at the
thought Of saving your life that you
don't realize all this. I want you
and the others here in the court
room to understand it. You aren't
sorry yet for your crime; you have
only great self-pity. There will be
few worse men than you in that great
prison, but. 1 may say, the law has
taken it's full and ample revenge
upon you"
Before allowing Welcome to enter
his plea of mot guilty" Judge Kava-
nagh informed the prisoner that the
death sentence still could be inflicted,
if the court decided to do so. We'll
come answered that he was willing
to submit his case to the mercy of
the court.
Mrs. Welcome boarded with Mrs.
Mclean and the latter woman met
her death when she ordered Welcome
out of her house after he had fol-
lowed his wife into her room and
shot her in the head. Mrs. Welcome
recovered from the bullet wound in
fiicted by her husband.
Nora Mclean, fourteen years old,
adopted daughter of the murdered
woman, was one of the witnesses
called by Judge Kavanaugh. She
testified to hearing Mrs. Mclean cry
after she was shot. Mrs. Elizabeth
Stewart and Mrs. Alice McDaniels,
who boarded at the house, testified
to the conversation that took place
when Welcome and John r. Burns, a
friend who came with him. were or
dered out OF the house upon Mrs.

husbands demand for money.
1t was shown by the testimony
that Welcome had entered the board

room. Mrs. Mclean accused We'll

IL Kavanagh passed life sen
tence on white man. Said
the Chicago Tribune:
Life Imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary was declared by Judge Marcus
Kavanagh yesterday to be more ter
rible punishment than hanging The
jurist, in a remarkable opinion hand
ed down in sentencing Joseph We'll
come to life Imprisonment for muir
der, contrasted death with the tor
tured soul of a life convict in his
solitary cell and told the prisoner
death penalty as the most severe
punishment that can be inflicted.
Welcome pleaded guilty to having
murdered Mrs. Mary Mclean, March
20, 1910, in boarding house she
conducted at 1144 West Monroe
street. The prisoner changed his
plea from mot guilty after eight
jurors were chosen.
1t was shown that he forced his
wife to become white slave" and
shot her for refusing to give him
money. Mrs. Mclean was shot and
killed while attempting to save Mrs.
Welcome.
In sentencing Welcome Judge
Kavanagh said:
Welcome, you committed terri
BILE crime. Your punishment is to be
more terrible still.
"You compelled your own wife to
make public commerce of her soul
for your gain. When she sought to
escape you shot her 1t wasn't your
fault that she lived, and you, in fact,
then killed another woman who was
making her clearly, useful way in
the world. You could hardly get
twelve men in the jury box who
would not infiict the death penalty
upon you, yet it is the policy Of the
law to regard a plea of guilty as in
some measure Of itself a mitigation.
''The instructive unreasoning hor
ror of mankind regards death as a
severe punishment This idea is not
correct. You are now to receive a
sterner punishment. Your victim
died but once. You will die a hun
dred times; you will suffer more the
day you put on your prison clothes
than she did in her death. After that
there will be only the hopeless, pain
full years from day to day, from
ever and in agony
''You will be wiped out of human
knowledge; even your name will be
taken from you; henceforth you will
be known by number. You will
not be permitted to lift hand or
whisper a word you will have no
right except the right to mere exist
ence.
"'In four or five years the eternal
solitude and silence will begin to
crush in upon you like an iron
weight. You hear that street car
bell ringing in the street as it passes
now. You will remember it in after
years as the most exquisite music. 1t
will mean hurrying crowds that go
where they like and do as they
please; it will mean the greatest of
all Decentralization

and by night, and your dream will be
