THE ART OF TRAIN RoBsING.

Although Uncle Sam resents keenly
any suggestion that this is not a
thoroughly civilized country, yet the
profession of train robbery seems to
grow in vogue. Only "a few nights
ago the bandits got 100000 out of an
express car near Hattiesburg Miss
and many other hauls of recent date
will occur to newspaper readers
AS the habit of gun toting" grows
less common. a train load Of travellers
grows more helpless. In the rough
days of the West when the coroner
would call it suicide if you didn't get
the drop first. train robbing was not
so gentle an art.
A noted train robber has said that
the worst trouble in his business was
not getting the money but spending

goes, the element of shock and sur

The robber has no sickly scruples

rudimentary notions OF fair play that
are violated by the dirty trick OF an
ambush in the dark

 Judge Feazel and Mrs Hunter the widowed mother of Parke Hun ter appeared before the governor to ask the pardon of the boy. He was convicted last spring of compIicity with Walter Manasco in killing T. P. Patterson, merchant at Umpire, and sentenced to five years. Eleven of the jurors ask his pardon, saying that lon more mature reflection on the evidence we are now of the opin- ion that the testimony was not suf- ficient to convict the defendant
 On the other hand a protest is filed to the effect that he should not be pardoned or transferred to the re- form school, as his reputation had been bad before conviction. Petition CTS for pardon say that Hunter had been associating with ,Manasco, and on the morning of the killing made a few indiscreet remarks, but noth- ing came of them. He was with says the petition, when the crime was committed.

all l know, in perfect good faith. Some of them have set up systems of pro- fit sharing, of compensation for in- juries and of bonuses and even pen sions, but every one of those plans has merely bound their workingmen
 more tightly to themselves. Their rights under these various arrange
 ments are not legal rights4 They are merely privileges which they en- joy so long as they remain in the employ and observe the rules of the great industries which employ them. If they refuse to be weaned away from their independence they cannot continue to enjoy the benefits ex- tended to them.
 When you have thought the whole thing out, therefore, you will find that the program of the new party legalizes monopolies and systemati- cally subordinates workingmen to them and to plans made by the gov ernment, both with regard to en- ployment and with regard to wages. By what means, except open revolt, could we ever break the crust of our life again and become free men, breathing an air of our own, choosing and living lives that we wrought out for ourselves? Perhaps this new and 0 sivNn h hnfyu money and government would be be- nevolent to us; perhaps it would car ry out the noble program of social betterment which so many credulous- ly expect it to, but who can assure us of that? Who will give bond that it will be gracious and pitiful and righteous? What man or set of men can make us secure it under it by their empty promise and assurance that it will take care of us and be good?
 'It is like coming out of a close and stifling air into the open where we can breathe fully again and see the free spaces of the heavens above us to turn away from such g pro- gram, the identical program suggest ed to committees of Congress by MT. Gary and Mr. Perkins. Democratic leaders turn away from any plan to legalize monopoly and give a Federal combination leave to say how much of it there should be, because they know exactly what that would mean. What they propose is the restoration of competition and the prosecution of what has created monopoly. When you have regulated it you have, in effect, restored it.

GETTING AHEAD OF SCANDAL
Peace and Dignity of Congregation Sc cured by Recommendation
 Made to Factor.

Parson Henderson, an evangelist oi color. was caught one bright morning holding the hands of one of the eve lambs of his congregation, who was a very popular young lady, and it creat. ed quite stir among the colored pop ulation, relates writer in Norman E. Mack's National Monthly. So the par son was brought up for trial and was questioned by the officers of the church as to what he meant by his action, and this is what he had to say tn answer to the question propounded to him: My hrudders, you have seen these great pictures. I suppose. 60 you know dat the great Shepherd am always pictured with a lamb of his flock in his arms.''
 Yes, sah. parson, dat am so," ad. mitted Deacon Jones'
 Den, Brudder Jones, what am wrong in the shepherd of his flock holding lamb in his arms?"
 rms Was too much for 3rudder Jones. so he proposed the officers of the church have call meeting that afternoon. After the point was dis cussed fully the following resolution was adopted:
 ".Resalved. Dat for thss future peace And dignity of the congregation dat the next time Parson Henderson feels called upon to take lamb of his flock ln bis arms. dat he pick out ram lamb"

No Occasion for Surprise.

 Forrest was playing in Richard H." and the part of Catesby had to be taken by a low comedian, who saun tered on the stay, at the wrong mo- ment and uttered the famous words My lord, the duke of Buckingham Is taken" in the wrong place.
 Forrest clenched his fists in rage but otherwise took no notice of the remark.
 Later on the comedian repeated the words in the right place. and wher the king expressed surprise at the news Catesby folded his arms, walk ed boldly down the stage, and re marked to the great actor in loud tones:

Cancnsburg, Pa., suffered from the storm. A number of houses were filled with water but the residents had received ample warning and has tened to places of safety. Hancock, who lest his life, had turned back to recover some valuable papers. He was seen to enter the front door in which the house collapsed. His body was not recovered.

EpliDEnlc1 OF soRE THROAT IN
 CHICAGO.

During the past winter an eXten sive epidemic of sore throat appear. ed in Chicago, which was later traced to an infected milk-supply. In re. cent issue of The Journal of the Am- ercan Medical Association, Prof. F G. Eeinemann, of the University o1 Chicago, makes a preliminary repor' on the cause of this epidemic. After carefully discussing all the evidence in the case. Professor Heinemann comes to the following conclusion:
 1. An epidemic of sore throat was prevalent in Chicago during the wins ter of 1911-12, the primary cause ot which remains undetermined.
 2. Of six hospitals using milk from Dairy X, two had many cases of sep tic sore throat, the other four did not.
 8. In four public institutions us- ing milk from Dairy X, ordinary sore throat was common, but septic cases were relatively rare.
 4. The hospitals and public insti- tutions received milk in cans and no infection of the milk could be traced.
 , Households using milk from Dairy x ill some districts of Chica- go suffered severely. Households us- ing milk from Dairy X in other dis tricts did net suffer out of proportion.
 .. Since the apparent infectious O. bottled milk from Dairy was inter- m,ttent, the solution must be looked for in partial infection of the bot ties.
 z. The bottle-supply of Dairy X may have been partially infected by an employe suffering from sore throat.
 The partial findings as to the cause of this epidemic show the need Of scrupuious Glealiness in handling a clty's milk supply. Dirty bottles are as dangerous as dirty milk.

REALLY NOT SMITHS FAULT
Mrs. Commuter Had Blamed Him un. duly, and Now She Wants the

Their neigh. bor on the left was the object of her sincerest aversion. q think he is the most selfish man ever met" she said. Such contrast to MT. Brown on our right, who is the soul of neigh borly kindness"
 "On what do you base your esti mate of their character?" her bus band asked.
 "Fences," said sbe Just look at Mir. Browns fence. He has kept all the ugly posts and crossboards on his own side and has presented the smooth finished surface to us. But you don't catch MT. Smith doing that. No, indeed. He looks out for mum. Der one and keeps the nice side for himself, while we get all the rough patchwork"
 But that is not Smiths fence," her husband argued. Tt is ours"
 "Ours?" she echoed. How does that happen?"
 Tt happens through a legal statute which provides that every man who wants his property fenced in must build part of the fence and keep the ragged edges on his own side. That Is the law"
 How perfectly ridiculous" she said "If we continue to live in the country isn't there some way 1t can be changed?"

GIVE REALITY TO THE CHILD
Writers, of the Nineteenth Century 1 ! Responsible Tor Valuable Addi. !
 tion to Literature.

Children were only found yesterday,
 Before the nineteenth century the
 child mind and the child heart were
 not supposed to have enough in them
 to interest the majestic adult. IL is
 true that you find a delightful baby
 in Homer; that in Vergil there is tho
 orettiest glimpse of little girl, and
 up and down in the classics you may meet half a dozen other pleasant shadows of children. But they are only shadows, only at the most charm. ing pictures. They give you as much as If they were painting or sculpture for in children's bodies art has al child looks like, the pretty weak ness, the instinct for play, the native gesture and movement. Not til the return to nat,lre," not till the spirit of romance moved on the waters at the end of the eighteenth century, do you find poets beginning to tell of the thought and faith in child's mind, the mysteries of the child's heart, the fancies that are dreams aud the fam cies that are visions. You may think that they have gone too far, that they read into childhood the laborious and sometimes the la bored sentimentality of the adult. Eut no one who loves children will deny that the best of the children in nine. teenth century books have far richer reality, a far fuller life than any that were born in earlier words. And some of the best are in Dickens.
