FINGER PRINTS TELL TALES
Absolute -Identlfleation Certain When
:. the Practiced Sleuth Takes UP !
- the Trail.
(To Be Continuen.J

Many years ago Mark Twain, In
his delightful, story of "Puddin' Head
Wilson," declared that every mans
identity, and often, even: his destiny,
Is always on his finger tips. Twice
on one day this has been recognized
In different parts of the country. 1t
was found that the men who used a
launch for the purpose OF taking dyna-'
mite from the Giant powder works
were not the AfcNamaras. Several
finger prints completely exploded the
theory They are, however the tracks
by which others may be oyertaken.
There could be no doubt that ED
gar R. Jay arrested in ST. Louis for
forgery a week after he had mar
ried, is Jay Gould Hay, alias Jay
Gould, alias julie Lee. He can not
escape the identity of his finger prints
at the Indiana and Missouri reforma-
tories.
It was only, last year that there
we're two remarkable warnings to the
criminal class to wear gloves. Charles
Crispi was arrested and convicted for
burglary In New York solely because
he left behind on window glass four
finger marks. They were only few
hairline' etchings,. but they singled out
Of millions Of people the only one
who could have made them. 1t was
difficult to obtain jury that would
convict on finger print evidence alone,
but when 1t was shown that there IS
only one chance in sixty-four' billions
that two finger prints will be alike.

any two Of the 1000. 100000 people
now on the earth being able. to make
the same finger markings, the prison.
er gave up. Again. in New York, was
the remarkable case growing out OF
the murder of Isaac Vogel, an timer
ate jewel broker. 1t was a single i'm
print of a finger on silver cigarette
case that led 70 the arrest Of Joseph
Roberts. .,r
Thus far finger print evidence Is
associated in the public mind with
criminology. But the day may come
when people registering to vote Will
be required to press their thumb
down next to their names. PhiladeE
phia reformers, who are battling
against the hoater and duplicate vot-
ing system, advocate Il. They insist
that It is only a step beyond requiring
the voter to write his name at regis
lration and again-by the side OF the
first signature-when he comes to
vote. 1t is thought the finger print
would stop floaters.

ReIasco's FloWery Apology.

David .Belasco. who bows with such
modesty before the curtain calls that
greet tho presentation Of bis dramat-
ic successes, occasionally loses his
temper during rehearsals OF plays,
and when he gets. angry he does the
thing up brown. For the time being,
there isn't peaceful thought in his
fertile brain. When he began the
rehearsals of Sweet Kitty Bellairs,'
Miss Henrietta crossman, the star OF
the piece, warned him that he must
not scold her.
A few days before the first public
production. however, Belasco broke
out in one of his fine tempers. and
Miss Crosman, with head in the air,
left the stage and the .heater. She
was walking rapidly up the street
when she heard the rush Of footsteps
behind her. Turning around. she saw
the manager, with his arms full OF
flowers. These he held out to her
imploringly.
This tribute effected reconcilia-
ton. On the way back to the theater
the star noticed a flower stand COM
pletely denuded of it's stock. Belasco
in. his pursuit of the fleeing actress.

leaves of the ledger as he spoke. Sud

arrested.

was staring down at the open pages

An instant later the door was pushed

Judge abruptly turned his back on
the clerk and began 10 examine the
record before him. lnsensibly, how
ever, the cold, level tones OF the voice
that was addressing itself to Mr.. Saul
quickened the beat OF his pulse, the
throb OF his heart, and struck back
through the years to q day from
which he reckoned time. He turned
slowly, as if in dread.
What he saw was man yerging

shaver cheeks of a blush cast above
the jaw, and a strongly aquiline pro.
file. Long. black locks swept the col
lar of his coat, while his tall. spare
figure was habited in sleek broadcloth
and spotless linen. For moment the
judge seemed 10 struggle with doubt,
then his face went white and the book
slipped from his fingers TO the win

Price with a house, for Betty required
of him that he should supply that
gentleman with legal business as

Thus it happened that Judge Price,
before he had been three days in
Raleigh. received a civil note from
Mr.. Norton asking him to search the
title 10 certain timber tract held by
one Joseph Quad. The Judge, power
fully excited, told Mahaffy he was be-
ing understood and appreciated.
The immediate result of Norton's
communication had been TO send the
Judge up the street to the court house
He would show his client that he
could be punctlal and painstaking.
Entering the court house, he found
himself in narrow hall. He entered
the county. clerks office. He was al
ready known to this official, whose
name was Saul, and he now greeted
him.
"A little matter of business brings
me here, sir" began the judge, with
u swelling chest and mellow accents.

AIDING THE DEMOCRATS.

|
The Democratic managers, accord
ing to Senator Gore of Oklahoma, are
relying upon the split between Roose-
welt and Taft in the Republican party
to elect their candidate, Professor
Wilson.
The Democrats know that they are
a minority in this country The peo-
pie do not want a Democratic admin
istration, with its free trade legis-
lation, laying an embargo upon priv
ate business and its stoppage of great
enterprises, like public buildings and
river and harbor improvements, which
add to the country's greatness and
put money into circulation. They do
not want Organism and all the radical
and absurd theories which Bryan and
his latest pupils, the Princeton school
master, so loudly preach. They do
not want the distress which seems to
be inseparable with Democracy in
control of the government.
But the Democrats think that they
have a chance because the Republic
ans are divided Why should Repub-
licans help the Democrats into
power? Why should Republicans
vote for Wilson directly, or cast their
votes for him indirectly by voting for
Roosevelt, who cannot possibly be
elected? The Republican party has
given this country sixteen years OF
unexampled prosperity. President
Taft has secured more genuine legis-
lation for the betterment of the peo-
pie during his three and half years
of administration than Roosevelt die
an laws and policies have in the past
laws and policies have in the pas
helped the business man, the farmer
the workingman and all other classes
of citizens. They will be even more
helpful in the future.
Republicans who vote for Roose
velt help Woodrow Wilson. And the
menace of Wilson's election is nov
the only cloud which hangs over oul
prosperous country.

There are few republicans in Iowa
who do not want Senator William
S. Kenyon reelected to the United
States Senate, and yet there is grave
danger of his defeat, on account OF
legislative districts throughout the
state. In Winneshiek county the
only way you can help elect Senator
Enger as representative. Better be
sure about the matter, do it right
begin "a the top of the republican
ticket. and vote it straight to the
bottom. Then there will be no ques-
ton about it.

No Patches Upon My Pants.

Oh! yes; I've heard about the trusts
Of how I'm being done,
OF how the wicked Tariff, too,
Is ''robbing' ev'ryone.
But / am working ev'ry day,
And maybe you, perchance,
Have noticed that / haven't got
A patch upon my pants?
They tell ME that l am slave
OF "plutocratic" rule;
That / should vote for Wilson, and
The party of the mule;
That he will rip the Tariff up
And on the pieces dance;
But, please observe, l do not wear
A patch upon my pants.
Once ! was led astray; / think
1t was sins sninety-two,
When Cleveland ran for President;
l shouted for him, too;
Thought there'd be work for ev'ry
one,
And wages would advance.
He was elected, and l wore
Big patches on my pants.
/ lost my job, and couldn't get
Another thing to do.
/ walked the street, and everywhere
Souphouses met my view;
And there were thousands, just like
me,
All fighting for a chance
To earn their bread, and ev'ry maj
Wore patches on his pants.
/ will not vote for Wilson; no,
With him l don't agree.
AS for his party, well, kind sir,
Once was enough for me.
I've steady work, have good pay,
And you may note, perchance,
I'm wearing creases now, instead
OF patches on my pants.
Once more election day draws near,
And workmen must decide
Whether to walk, for lack of fare,
Or to get on and ride.
Once more, Protection is at stake,
With wages that it grants;
Shall have steady work, or wear
More patches on my pants?
