the water was so high II has been
emptying part of its surplus into low
ground that has eventually carried i,

bridge beyond the Center street river

A ThanksQivinQ letter.

AAAeeAAASSAvAh6
s'On this day of Thanksgiving the
thoughts of all my household were
turned to the vacant chair made
empty by, the crime of the poor
wretch, the date of whose execution
been in our minds for some time, and
after mature reflection, all of us
father, mother, sisters, brothers and
widow of my murdered son-haye
concluded to ask you to reprieve
Rene Canton and to send his case
before the Board of Pardons for their
consideration as to whether his sen
tence should not be commuted to i'm
prisonment for life.
we feel that this young brute is
the product CT our system OF society
10: which al of us, partic'...'.y per
sons of our positions, are to some ex-
tent responsible His father and
and mother are honest, hardworking,
people. With them the struggle fol
exist ence was too exacting and bitter
20 permit them to devote the time
and personal care necessary to de-
,elop the good and repress the evil
in their son, who thus grey up amid
nalign influence that surround the
children Of the poor in large city.
I'VE believe that he shot my son
as instinctively as snake would
strike one who crossed his path, and
while the act was murder in law and
liz fact, yet it lacked that fOrethought
and deliberation which makes E
crime of this sort objectionable.
This man is now in no condition
of mind to be sent into the next
world. We hope and pray that time
and reflection will bring repentance
and that his soul may be saved.
Incidentally in the letter, Mr.. Far
rar brought out the fact that al
though the young widow, and since
mother, had not signed the appi-
cation of Canton for. pardon, she
had agreed to offer no objection when
the case was brought up, and also
she. had sought to save the life OF
her husbands murderer.
Widow Didn't Sign.
But sentiment was swept aside by
the cold judicial turn that was taken
in the case of the murderer when
the case was threshed out. If, by
code of law, he was to be granted
life in the penitentiary. instead of
death on the gallows, the laws of the
state must give it to him and not
the forgiving sentiments of bereav-
ed father for his son. This was
made plain when Judge Chretein de-
clared that ''if there is murder.
want this man hung" He was con-
Cured with by the other members Of
the board.

HE BIG GRAIN CROP.

The bumper crop which is being har- vested in the west makes the farmers happy and 1t should be cause for rejoicing for most other people, for the large supply of grains should have its effect upon the market sufficiently to make it felt in the pocketbooks of the rest of the people dependent there on.
 It has been an excellent year for crops, and when the aggregate grain crop for 1912 is put at 5,219,00O,O0 bushels, 1t is impossible to realize the great quantity this means. It is. an increase of nearly a billion bushels over last year. Conditions have been right and the chief difficulty experi- enced by the farmers has been the question of help to harvest the yield. The corn crop will amount to nearly three billion bushel, the wheat to 69O million bushels, while oats will amount to billion and a quarter bushels. The production has reached such large proportions that it is big problem to get cars enough to transport the grain and elevators are overtaxed and work ing overtime.
 With this large amount of grain coming into the market, and welding such an influence as it does in all di- rections. 1t should have an appreciable effect upon the high cost of living. It is demonstrated that sections of the country are raising more than ever before, and such is the solution of the great problem before the country. Grain enters into many avenues which contribute to the cost of living, and 1t ought to mean a reduction, even though 1t is easier to get prices up rather than down.

SECRET LockETs.

Would you have something quite new and different to wear on your pretty long chain? Then here are some fascinating lockets with a com partment for hidden picture. They may be turned and twisted and ex- amined most minutely and still retain the secret of the inclosed portrait. Neither hinge nor crevice is to be seen and the bejeweled and ornamented cover will defy the detection ot the secret picture,
 These loekets are handsomely carved in many beautiful designs, and they are shown in tho jewelry shops in various shapes and sizes. Some are studded with diamonds or pearls and others with the colored stones.
 One charming locket is set with an amethyst and three beautifully tinted baroque pearls, while from it is sus- pended a large baroque pearl as a pen dant.
 Another is set with large topaz and this gold locket is heavily carved and chased.
