A MATTER OF ECONOMY.

IL ii is true that what We save is JUST
as valuable as what we earn, we OF the
city OF Paw Paw are on the right track
Thrift means economical management,
and il We can save the wear and tear on
our sidewalks by walkiug down the mid
die of the street we call that penny
earned.
OF course the walks are covered with
ice and we cannot, by the most careful
attention to business, stand up for more
thLn the length of a block. but that II
not the reason we take to the middle o
the street. 1t was good enough fo
Coxey and it is good enough for US.

BOY SHOOTS MAN IN
DEFENSE OF HIS MOTHER
BOYS VICTIM WAS BEATING
AND CHOKING THE WOMAN
John Belts, Of Milford, DEL, Is Slain
by Housekeeper's Son While He Is
Abusing Her.

Seventeen-year-OId George Smith
rushed to the defense of his mother
when she called for help and shot and
almost instantly killed John Belts in
Milford, Del, who was choking and
beating Mrs. Smith.
The tragedy occurred in the Belts
home, near Marshalls mill, on the Sus.
sex county side of the town. Mrs
Smith has been the housekeeper OF
Belts for several years. 1t is alleged
that Belts in recent years has been
abusive to the woman in many ways,
and of late, she says, the abuse has
grown almost unbearable, resulting in
blows, kicks and curses.
1t was during one of these abusive
turns that Mrs. Smith, believing her
life in jeopardy, Belts having knocked
her down and chOked her, called for
help.
Her cries were heard by her seven.
teen-year-old son, George, who rushed
into the room in time to see his mother
lying on the floor and at the mercy of
Belts.
When the young man entered the
room Belts released his hold on the
woman and made for young Smith
with a chair, raised as if to strike him.
The lad, realizing the danger he and
his mother both were in, picked up a
revolver lying on table in the room
and fired at Belts, the shot mortslly
wounding the man, from which he
soCn died.
The circumstances surrounding the
shooting has created sympathy for
young Smith.

GOVERNOR PARDoNs BRANDT
Man Sentenced to Thirty Years For
Robbing Banker Released After SerV
ing Six Years.

ing Six Years.
Governor Sulzer, of New York, has
pardoned Foulke E. Brandt, the for
mer valet of Mortimer L. Schiff, Of
New York, banker and millionaire, on
the ground that Brandt's sentence of
thirty years for burglary was exces-
sive
This is the first pardon granted by
the governor since he took office on
Jan. L. Brandt has been in Dannemora
prison since April 1907.
1t was stipulated by Governor Sulzer
in pardoning Brandt that he was not
to accept a theatrical engagement and
must not in the future reflect upon the
character of any one.
At the request of Governor Sulzer,
Attorney General Carmody made a
statement in which he said he favored
Brandt's pardon, mot as question OF
mercy, but as one of justice" He
criticised the procedure through which
Brandt was tried and sentenced. Mr.
Carmody declared that the governor g
action wiped out "blot on the judi.
ciary of the state" and showed that
there is nothing that can defeat the
ends of justice"
United States Senator Knute Mel
son, of Minnesota, who represented the
United Swedish Societies of New York
in the case, also made a speech in
which he characterized Brandt's sen.
tence as judicial tyranny" Senator
Nelson volunteered to take Brandt tt
Minnesota, and at the suggestion OF
the governor, Brandt accepted the of
fer. He plans to accompany the sena
tor to Washington before leaving fol
the west.
The governor explained that Brandt
had promised to lead a better life il
released from prison, and added that
M. Schiff had declared he would no,
oppose Brandt's application for elem
ency unless it was based on "scanda
lous and malicious statements"
Foulke Engelbrecht Brandt came to
this country from Sweden and some
time later obtained employment as ,
fdlCl " nOIllu6T Il. OCulll, I6udluluE
until early in 1907
At that time he was arrested in the
apartment in New York of Mr. Schi1
on a charge of burglary in the first de
gree after an alleged struggle in which
he was charged with having attacked
Mr.. Schiff with large bowling pin.
When Brandt was arraigned he
pleaded not guilty and said he was il
the house in answer to a letter from
one of the members of Mr.. Schiff's
household requesting his presence.
Brandt had been discharged by Mr.
Schiff. At the hearing, through his
counsel, Mr.. Schiff charged that Brand
had threatened to "get even" and haG
returned with the intention of robbing
his former employer. Mr.. Schiff had
charged Brandt with the theft of two
scarfpins of insignificant value. When
convicted the man was sentenced by
Judge Otto A. Rosalsky in New York
to thirty years Imprisonment. This
was on April 6, 1907.
