York, to fall into the clutches Of the
police. who for nine years have been
on the lookout for him.
He came back disguised by beard,
mustache and the changes wrought by
years. Feeling thoroughly secure
from detection he slipped from The
freight train which brought him here

tramped the familiar streets for love

Detective Hart, who nine years ago
looked high and low for the man. A
few minutes later Whiteway was d
prisoner in the Harlem detective
bureau. At first he resolutely denied
his identity. Later he broke down and
admitted IL.
Theodore Johanson was wounded In
Leggett's lane, Oak Point, Bronx, In

1901. IL is charged that Whiteway,
John Fisher and Massey Schoheld held
Johanson up. Fisher, convicted Of fir
ing the fatal shot, is serving a life
sentence. Schofield confessed and
named Whiteway as the third man III
the case. Schofield got six years for
his part In the crime. In his confess
sion he told how he. Whiteway and
Fisher. being broke" held up Johan-
son and a man called Haffner and how
Fisher and Johanson made of. fired

Hart, then sub" policeman, knew
Whiteway and was one OF those who
tried to find him. All efforts were in
vain. Whiteway got out or the city
and went west. where he worked for
a time on a ranch. Then the iTresist-
ible inconsistencies seized him.
Detective Hart said that he recog-
nibed Whiteway by peculiar way he
has OF turning his head. When White
way asked him for money, Hart said
he noticed this peculiarly. At the
Harlem detective bureau, where the
prisoner persisted that the detective
was mistaken, Capt. Kuhne sent for
Policeman Foster. OF the West One

who had worked on the Johansen muir
der case AS soon as Foster saw the
prisoner he said. It's Whiteway." in
spite of beard and mustache. Then the
man realized that further denial was
useless
Whiteway is said to be the black
sheep" OF a respectable family. So de-
sirous was he of getting back to New
York that he came a good part OF the
way by stealing rides on freight trains.

And then the mother died-just
withered away.
That factory, like all the other fac
tories, had been killing two genera
tons at a time.
The health authorities say that 400
babies were born in Fall River in 1909.
Eight hundred and twenty of them
died before they we're year old. A
thousand and twenty-eight children un.
der the age of i've died in the town
last year.
And there are only $4,000 men, wo-
men and children in the town.
Three years ago, in 1907, the school
authorities granted employment per-
ages OF IA and 16 But that was a
hard times year. The factories didn't
demand so much child life. The next
year the permits numbered 1,765;
times were still hard. s'
In 1909 prosperity" came. But not
prosperity for the children, for 1898
OF them were put to work.
This year times are so prosperous
that permits will be granted to not
less than $500 children. There are
times when 10000 children are work
ing in the mills OF Fall River.
These children are to be the fathers
and mothers OF Fall River. They
themselves are the children OF fac.
tory folk. What their children will
be- is a dreadful question.
Three out OF ten children die now
How many out OF ten will die when
this generation Is grown?

huge cherry tree, in full bloom, cut

After the banquet the tree was

I'VE like any other cherry blossoms.
But their strength was gone, and they
turned yellow and died.
The factory owners OF Fall River,
Mass, where children are allowed
TO work. are showing this same
thoughtlessness. But their thought
lessness is criminal. because the
cherry blossoms which they are de-
handing are living children.
This is the way they do II in Fan

g day passed that she did not do too
much work for her frail body. Every
night she was tired. Every morning
she dragged herself out OF bed for
another day OF toll. Even her Sun
days did not give her rest. Instead
OF a health-giving WEAKNESS she
suffered with chronic. exhausting
fatigue.
Work burns up the tissues of the
body. Nature restores these tissues
during sleep. This process makes Tor
health and happiness, and decently
regulated labor Is as necessary as
sleep or food. But Rita Hobbs, with
the other thousands Of her kind,
worked so hard--sometfmes IL hours

Nature couldn't keep up. Every
day a little more tissue was destroyed
than nature could replace. She was
giving away her strength, as the
cherry blossoms gave away their per
fume, with no hope Of replenishing
the store.
Butone day her tired eyes bright
ened a little; just little, though, for
the fires of youth were burning duly,
for she was haggard and scared like
the dying cherry blossoms. She was
in love. She was to be married. You
see she thought she was like any other

And married she was. A little girl

WEATHER AND CROPS
Corn and Grain Generally Doing Well.
Cotton Especially Has Made Rapid
Progress the Past Week.

The Picayune says: The past weel
has been generally favorable for the
growing crops, although there have
been some complaints of too much rain
where pessimists have been looking for
any appearance of unfavorable symp-
toms. Rain has fallen over practically
the entire cotton belt, but only in Ark
ansas and parts of Mississippi and Ala
bama have there been any complaints Of
excessive moisture. In Texas, where a
big crop is being worked, the weather
conditions have been highly favorable
practically no complaints worthy of the
name having come from that State
The expected scare about bolf weevi1s
has appeared in Louisiana and Missis-
sippi, but it is not believed that the
weevils are anything like as plentiful as
they were last year, nor is it believed
that their ravages, taking the reason as
whole, will approximate the record Of
the past two seasons. As a rule, the
fields everywhere are we'll cultivated,
and SO far there has been no complaint
of grass getting ahead of the farmers
except in Arkansas
The corn crop and grain crops gener-
ally throughout the South have profted
by the favorable weather. The corn es-
pecially has made rapid progress, and
all indications now point to a good yield
Of that important staple The rice pros
poets have also been greatly improved
by the rains, and, although the area is
probably not so great as last year, the
crop is now making favorable progress.
With respect to the sugar cane crop
all reports are now favorable The fire.
quent rains which have covered the en-
tire sugar district, coupled with the
warm weather, has caused the cane to
grow rapidly, particularly as the fields
were in an excellent state of preparation
to make the most of the rainy weather.
All reports agree in saying that the crop
is now doing its best to make good time
lost early in the season, and wherever
the spring plant was not absolutely killed
by the April freeze there is a prospect
that a good stand will be secured.
What is now needed in the sugar dis
trict is continuance of the warm and
moist weather until the crop has at
tanned the condition that will permit of
its being fully laid by. Plenty of sun
shine, accompanied by frequent show
ers, will do all that is now required for
the crop. Planters are in a most hope
full mood and look forward to good
yield.

AGED ARE IMMUNE
Appendicitis Does Not Affect Those
Over Fifty Years Old

In telegram from New York it is
stated that physicians throughout thai
city are exceedingly interested in DIR
Peterson's paper before the Royal So
ciety of Medicine in London on new
appendix disease"
Several doctors called attention to the
fact that the London surgeons "appen-
dicidal gastralgia" was in reality discov-
cred by Drs. Robert Abbey and Robert
I. Morris of New York several years
ago and was named by these two physi-
clans '.hbroid degeneration of the appen-
dix But all agreed that DR.. Peterson's
paper was valuable in attracting atten-
ton to phase of appendicidal trouble
of which the general public is strangely
ignorant
The appendix is one of the most
talked of and little understood organs
in the human body" returned one physi-
clan. Few people know that persons
over so years hardly ever have appendi-
citis. In 224 cases DR. Hawkins of St.
Thomas Hospital, found, for example,
that less than one per cent of them were
over fifty years of age. The reason
that practically only people below mid
die life have appendicitis is that the ap-
pendix itself gradually degenerates with
each year of man or woman's life.

N SESSION FIVE WEEKS-PASS
ED FOUR BILLS-BEHR-
MANS SALARY

Louisiana Democrat, June II: The
Legislature has been in session about
FIVE weeks, and has passed four bills
and what do you suppose they. were?
One increased the salary of the Hon.
Martin Behrnafi from $1,000 to $4,000,
and threw in $500 as lagniappe. OF
course the Honorable Martin is worth
the price and much more in addition.
The next bill which had plain sailing
was the appropriation to pay the mileage
and per diem of the members. There is
never any protest registered against this
bill, There was also but little opposi-
ton to the amendment authorizing the
dear people" to tax themselves for the
benefit of an exposition in New Or
leans from which they will derive no re-
turns. We don't remember what the
fourth bill was. Come to think of it,
we don't believe it has yet passed.
