CRUELTY TOLD BY
BOYS ON TEACHER
Welts and Bruises Inflicted
Upon Them Are Exhibited
In Open Court by the
Victims.

Chicago. Oct. Histories of Ill treat
ment were told before Judge Pickney
in the juvenile court today, when nine
boys appeared to testify regarding the
school conducted by John j. Campbell,
which was raided by Humane society
agents at Channahon, H., few days
ago.
Ray Gardner. Is years old, testified
as follows:
"All the boys were forced to sleep
on the floors in one room. We had no
quilts or blankets. Mr.. Campbell slept
on q couch In another room. He told
US that such a life would make good
scouts Of us.
Whipped Until He Bled.
II was whipped with a piece of har-
ness about IA inches long. We had to
take off our clothes and he whipped IN
the presence Of the others. Mr.. Camp
bell always laid us over a bathtub so
our skin would be stretched tight. Then
he dashed us until we bled."
In confederation of this bit Of evil
dence the witness showed welts across
his back and bruises on his legs.
Rays brother Bruce, 8 years old, was
the next witness. He said he had been
whipped FIVE times by Campbell be-
cause as CHIEF COOK he had spoiled
some of the food. He said the school
master beat him on the bare back with
a hair brush.
How were the other boys treated? ?"
inquired the court.
well, there was Clarence Young. He
is IL years old He got so hungry that
he walked a mile or so and got some
thing to eat from q farm house. Mr..
Campbell, when he heard of it, locked
him in an attic all night. where tho
rain came down on him through a
leaky roof. Then Mr.. Campbell took
him out and whipped him saying, This
ought to teach you a lesson; peo-
pie will think you are not getting
enough to eat here"
Bruce also displayed welts and
bruises across his back and legs. Paul
Van Kohl, an 18-year-old boy, told of
being beaten to Inconsistencies by
Campbell.
Girl Was Mistreated.
Witness said Minnie Cummins, a r.
year-old girl, and the only pupil Of her
sex at the school, was taken into Mr..
Campbelrs room many times.
WAS she whipped?" asked the judge.
IT don't know, but she was always
crying when she came out, replied Van
Kohl The girl will be summoned as a
witness.
Campbell was in court with his at.
torney.

SLIGHTLY Mixed,

Two Englishmen were resting at the
Red Home inn at Stratford-on-Avon
One of them discovered print pictur-
ing low, tumbling building under
meath which was printed: The
House in Which Shakespeare Was
Born" Turning to his friend in mild
surprise he pointed to the print. His
friend exhibited equal surprise and
called waiter, who assured them Of
the accuracy Of the inscription.
"Pon my word" said the observing
Englishman, shaking his head dubious
ly. Il thought he was born In man

chlIdnke icmorance.

Laura Jean Libbey. discussing in
Brooklyn her successful appearance
on the stage, said:
Il talk in my monologue about love,
marriage and the other interests of
the heart. On these subjects women.
especially young women. are strangely
ignorant.
They really make me think, you
know, of the little girl who was asked
by her teacher:
What can you tell us about Solo,
mon?"
Solomon replied the little girl,
was very fond of animals
And how, my dear said the teach
er, do you make that out?'
Because answered the little girl,
the Bible says he had 500 porcu-
pines.'"

Tit for Tat.

Lloyd G. Griscom, in an interview
in New York, said of party dissen-
sions:
They are animated by nasty spir-
1t, a tit-fcr-tat spirit; and they go
from bad to worse.
Its like the case of the engaged
couple at the seaside dance. The
young man, little jealous, said cold
ly to his fiancee at supper:
Let me see-was it you kissed
in the conservatory
ABOUT what timer the young girl
answered, with little laugh"

HIS HANDS CRACKED OPEN

Il am man seventy years old. Ny
hands were very sore and cracked
open on the insides for over a year
with large sores. They would crack
open and bleed, itch, burn and ache
so that could not sleep and could do
but little work. They were SO bad
that l could not dress myself in the
morning. They would bleed and the
blood dropped on the floor. I called
on two doctors, but they did me no
good. / could get nothing to do any
good till got the Cuticura Soap and!
Cuticura Ointment. About a year
ago my daughter got cake of Cuti,
Ecura Soap and one box of Cuticura
Ointment and in one week from the
time began to use them my hands
were all healed up and they have not
been mite sore since. I would not
be without the Cuticura Remedies.
"They also cured a bad sore on the
hand of one of my neighbours children,
and they think very highly of the Cuti-
'cura Remedies. John w. Hasty, So Eff
