Hot Work For Both.

Columbus, Ind, Dec. 20.-Too
vigorous application of a paddle to
the west side of a boys trousers
came near causing serious results in
the public school at East Columbus.
One of the small boys was unruly
and the teacher punished him by
administering the paddle
The boy had matches in his hip
pocket and the rapid application of
the paddle caused the matches to
ignite.
Neither the teacher nor the boy
knew that a fire had been started
until the boy felt something warm
and made a grab for the rear.
The teacher then saw smoke and
hurriedly extinguished the fire.
The boy was only slightly burned.

Q A MORAL LESSON. O
0 O Q Q . o O Q o o o Q o o Q

There was once a rich old uncle
who had two poor nephews.
And when Christmas came, the
two poor nephews we're anxious to
show the rich old uncle how much
they thought of him.
Now the first poor nephew reas-
oned that he should impress his
rich old uncle with the great affec-
ton he bore for him by some tan
gible means. So he drew out his
savings and purchased for his rich
old uncle a magnificent gold watch
and had it neatly engraved. To it
he attached a gorgeous chain, put
the whole affair in a lavishly deco
rated box and sent it to his rich
old uncle with his best wishes.
The second poor nephew figured
that any extreme financial outlay
would convince his rich old uncle
that he was trying to jolly him a
bit too much, so he invested a nick

card.
So the rich old uncle received the
two membranes and said of the
first nephew:
"Humph! A man who will spend
all he has for a gold watch to give
to a man who already has all the
watches he ever will need hasn't got
enough judgment to be trusted with
money. I will leave him my bless
ing and a few words of good ad-
vice"
When he looked at the card he
nodded his head approvingly and
said
There's a man after my own
heart. He knew I would not care
for an expensive gift and he knew
that | would value his good wishes,
so he very wisely sent them to me
in this inexpensive manner. He
shows a marked economical trait
and | am sure he will get along in
the world without any aid from
me-"
So he made a new will and left
all his money to found an institu-
ton for the Study OF Prehistoric
Manifestations Of Microbic Diseases
in Fossilized Animalculae.

Children of Preacher Are
Burned to Death.
FATHER CHARGED WITH CRIME
AwOke Amidst Flames To
Find Themselves Help
leSS-Three Escape.
FATHER ACTS LIKE A MANIAC

Fl. Smith, Ark, Dec. 20.-Ma-
rion Caps, 35 years old, widower
and a Methodist minister, is confn-
ed in the County Jail here, charged
with burning to death his two chill
dren, Rosie, aged 8, and Priscilla,
aged 3, in their home a mile and a
quarter northwest OF Bonanza.
The Caps home was destroyed
by fire about o'clock this morn
ing. and in addition to the two IA
talities, Ellis, aged IA, and Mack,
aged 10, sons of Caps, were so
badly burned 1t is feared they will
die. A fifth child, Bertha, aged Is,
was slightly burned.
The story of the surviving child
rem is that they awakened to find
their room in flames. They say they
had been tied in their beds with a
rope. Bertha told the Coroner that
when she released herself she found
the doors of the house locked and
the windows nailed She threw
herself against a window and broke
the glass. In this way she and her
brothers effected their escape.
The boys tell the same story.
They we're badly burned.
They say they did not have suf-
ticient strength to break the rope
that held them to their bed and
they waited until the fire had burn,
ed through their letters. The child
rem in their underclothes, which
were almost burned from their
bodies, dragged themselves to the
home of Squire w. R. Booth a quar-
ter of mile away. in a biting wind.
The first person arriving on the
scene says he found Caps running
up and down the road yelling like
a mailman.
With him was his daughter, AL
ice, seven years old, whom he al
ways had referred to as his favor
ite."
After an investigation, Coroner
Johnston and Deputy Prosecutor
Prentiss Rowe filed charges of muir
der against Caps. They allege he
went to Bonanza last night and pur-
chased five gallons of coal oil after
he had had a disagreement with a
merchant there over a bill of goods.
The can was found in the ruins of
the home. Caps says he does not
know how the fire originated, but
declines to explain how he and his
seven-year-old daughter escaped.
Caps was born at Pratt City,
Ala, and lived there until six years
ago. For two years he was pastor
of the Methodist congregation az
Prairie, near here.

chain of news-gathering agencies
stretching across continents and
oceans, the innumerable reporters
working daily for you under tropic
suns and over arctic snows-have
you ever felt the romantic thrill of
it all in reading a great modern
newspaper such as the Chicago
Record-Herald? We mention this
paper especially because of the
completeness of its domestic and
foreign news service. 1t has a cor
respondent in every town or city
of Importance in the United States,
a veritable array of them in all.
In addition it has the benefit of the
foreign news service of the New
York Herald, famous for it's world
wide cable system and for the re-
liability of its foreign news; also
that of the New York World and
the New York Journal of Commerce
besides that of the great co-opera-
tive news-gathering organization,
the Associated Press. With such a
vast and complete news service it
is not strange that the Record-Her-

INCOME OF $500 FROM
ACRE OF LAND POSSIBLE

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside the editor of the Garden
ing department says:
"A reader. stirred up by my
statement of 5000 returns from
one-eighth acre in vegetable plants,
especially cabbage and celery, asks
me what may be his chances OF Sc
curing an income of, say, $500 an
acre on two acres planted in these
or similar crops in the suburbs of a
small city.
IAN income of $500 or 1000
from an acre OF market-garden
crops, and especially of vegetable
or Towering plants. is not only
within the reach of possibility, but
also of reason, and is actually Sc
cured land more, tool by many
gardeners near cities or villages.
But so much depends on local con-
ditions, management, skill OF the
grower and seller, that | would not
give any guarantee. The chances
are. good enough, but for the right
person only. Begin slowly, grad
ually, carefully. and expand as you
see your way clear. Do not let my
figures tempt you to run in debt for
land, giving up another business
that has so far provided a living.
Use discretion and common sense"

TAUGHT HABIT BY HUSBAND
In Gay SOtiety'S HauntS-
Afterwards Deserted By
Him and Children.
FINALLY DRIVEN FROM HOME

Peoria, ILL.,, Dec. 20.-Driven
from a palatial Cincinnati home by
her husband and disowned by her
family, Mrs. Mary Freeman died
here to-day in the basement of a
fiat building, where she had been
living with the janitor, Frank Sax
tan Freeman, to whom she was
married less than two years ago.
Death came after six years-years
that were a constant effort to obtain
enough liquor to crafty an appe-
tite that she said was contracted in
the gay society life of Cincinnati.
The body of the woman will be
buried in a Peoria cemetery to-mor-
row afternoon at the expense of
Peoria county.
Mrs. Freeman's maiden name
was Mary Leonard. She was born
in Ireland December 8, 1868, and
when a young girl came to America
with her parents, who settled in
Cincinnati. There the elder Leon
ard established cobbler's shop and
his business grew until in a few
years he was recognized as one OF
the leading shoe merchants of Gin
cinnati The family was well
known in Cincinnati in the eighties
and nineties.
When she was about % years
old, her story goes, she became ac-
quainted with a wealthy carriage
manufacturer and they were mar
ried the following year. Two child
dren were born, who, Mrs. Freeman
said, are still living in Cincinnati.
Frequenting the fashionable no.
tells and cafes, Mrs. Freeman said.
her husband taught her to drink.
The years passed and the liqu0f
that was at first drunk merelyfto
please her husband became a neces-
sary part of her existence.
She told that in the last few
years she lived with her husband
she frequently bribed the servants
to fetch her gin, when she would
lock herself in her room and drink
herself into a stupor.
At length the husband drove her
from her home, she said. Frank
Freeman, who, she claimed, was
employed as coachman at her home,
promised to buy her liquor, and
with him she lived nearly year in
Cincinnati. spending most OF the
time under the effects of gin. Some
four years ago they came to Peoria
and had lived here since that time
in the basement of a fiat building
where Freeman was janitor.
They lived together as man and
wife, she said, until less than two
years ago, when. after a severe ILL
ness. she prevailed upon Freeman
to take her to Pekin, ILL.,, where
they were married by Justice OF the
Peace Rain.
Mrs. Freeman had been disowned
by her husband and children and by
her brothers and sisters. Many
times she had written to her rela-
tives in Cincinnati, but had never
received an answer, she said.

HARD COAL is
SENT TO WEST
Big Demand When Supply Is
Unusually Low

An unprecedented demand for
anthracite in the west is a conspic-
uous feature of the present situation
in the coal trade.
The extent of the demand is not
explained entirely by curtailment in
production during the labor troubles
last spring; it is due largely to the
widening use of hard coal in the
states west of Pennsylvania. This
is a movement to which operators
and men in the coal trade have been
paying attention for some time, but
it has acquired an unexpected We
locity.
The duration of the season of nav
igation on the Great Lakes has IN
important bearing upon anthracite
conditions in the west, since a large
volume of coal is shipped from Buff
falo by water. 1t is because they
want to get as much coal as possible
before navigation closes that the
western dealers are now claiming
such a big share of the output. Their
extraordinary demands at a time
when the total available supply Is far
less than normal anyway, necessa-
rily have a considerable effect upon
the supply at the command of the
eastern states.
