7. R. CHASES BAD BOY
But Gang Didn't sPeach- So No One
Was Spanked.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 4.-Some-
where in the little village of Woodside,
just west of this town, there is a boy
who narrowly missed going down to
history as having been spanked by ex-
President Roosevelt. The boy was
playing by the roadside yesterday
when the colonePs automobile came
along. Colonel Roosevelt and Mrs.
Roosevelt were passengers. The
urchin threw stone at the machine
as it whizzed by and hit Mrs. Roose-
welt in the face.
Although she was uninjured, the colo
mel stopped his machine and started in
pursuit of the lad who had concealed
himself in the midst of a small army
of barefooted. dirty faced boys. Colonel
Roosevelt was unable to identify the
guilty one, however. and the culprit
went to bed unspanked.

The highest point of woman's hap
piness is reached only through moth
erhood, in the clasping Of her child
within her arms. Yet the mother-to-

great value to every expectant mother.
It is an emulsion for external
application, composed OF ingredients
which act with beneficial and sooth-

OUT ARKANSAS
CONVICT CAMP
Will Todiy Pardon $50 Men
From Penitentiary
PROTEST AGAINST SYSTEM
Takes Drastic Action Because Op-
position of People Has Thus
Far Been UnavaiIing.

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. ia vital
blow at the convict lease system en-
ployed in Arkansas and other States
will be struck here tomorrow when
Gov George W. Donaghey will par
don and free $50 convicts from the
State penitentiary. This drastic &C
ton is the direct result of sentiments
expressed by Gov. Donaghey in a
speech before the conference of Gov
ernors at Richmand, Va, two weeks
ago.
Three convict camps in Arkansas
will be wiped out by the wholesale
granting of pardons. These camps
are the ones where convicts are leas-
ed to contractors and do not include
the camps where convicts are en-
ployed in building State roads. The
conyicts to be pardoned are serving
sentences for minor felonies Many
of the prisoners, however, were sen
fenced for fifteen years or more.
The Governor has prepared
lengthy statement explaining his ac-
ton to be presented to the State
Legislature in January. He says:
81 have consistently fought the con
vice lease system ever. since l have
been in public office. Time after
time | have pleaded with the Legis-
lature to abolish it, but in spite of
my appeals for relief and the repeat
ed protest of the people of this State
and the representatives of the board
of penitentiary management by it's
chairman to the Governor and the
message transmitted by the Cover
nor to the last two general assemb-
lies, all in condemnation of this cruel
penitentiary and county farm lease
system, no adequate, relief has yet
been given.
''In selecting this list of convicts
in my judgment ] have not pardoned
any one not justly entitled to par
don under the conditions named.
But my principal reason for discharg-
ing the large number at this time is
for the purpose of forever breaking
up the convict lease system in this
State"
