Is she dead or still among US?
That great murdereSS Belle Guinness;
She was devil here on earth,
Being good no doubt at berth:
But money being her greatest aim,
She murdered all TO her that came
And toted them away upon her back.
And buried them in a gunny sack.
She wrote to men that had the
money,
She called them dear and also honey.
And they like fools to her would 90
And she her love on them bestow;
She set her traps and with one whack
She got the mOney-they got the sack.
It's thought by some that she did
hire
Lamphere, to set her house on fire.
That she burn herself and children
And from this crime she might be free.
The Guinness woman she's now dead
Was the jury's verdict when it was
read.
Some think her alive with the same
old pack,
Preparing bodies for the gunny sack.

The trouble with our prison sys-

be comparatively easy.
Mr. OsbOrne's experiment will be

BERLIN. Sept. Coles one little
fuss maker, is Friedrich Wilhelm Vic
tor August Ernest Hohenzollern. But
maybe any one of us folks would be
fussy,too, under the same circum-
stances.
His father is emperor of Germany.
and Fred Wilhelm will have to take
up the job as soon as his father quits
But until his father does quit, the old
man won't let Fred touch a bit of the
machinery. And all this SENS to create
peeve in Fred. which he takes out
on his daddy
1t has been really shameful of late.
how Fred has gone after father.
For instance. during his life of 30
years, Fred has done some hunting
but Fred's idea is TO play tag with his
deer; to chase it and tire 1t and shoot
it only when it's so tired that it
would die anyhow, while fathers way
is TO hide in what they call a shoot
ing box" and, when hired men drive
the deer past him, shoot them by the
dozens.
Very we'll. The bther day Fred as
tonished folks by issuing a book on
hunting and it seems as if his whole
purpose was just TO take a rap at dad.
He called folks butchers and no
sportsmen who killed game from
hunting boxes; real sportsmen gave
their prey a chance to get away and
didn't bang them twenty at a time.

The latter way was too much like
shooting at a herd of cattle. Where

NEW YORK. Sept. SO.-Evidently
Rose Barrick does not read the news
papers. II she did she would know
that among New York policemen the
custom of accepting brides has be-
come almost a dead letter. She would
know That some ten or a dozen bribe-
takers and grafters are doing time in
Sing Sing. that others are waiting to
be tried. and that the remainder of
the force is strong. just now, for
prObity and virtue.
A sad experience has come to Mrs.
Barrick. because she didn't keep her
police dope up TO date She is the
prOprietress of hotel in w. 45th St.
which has always been known as the
kind from which no guest ever writes
letters home.
The other night the police pinched
the place. They arrested Mrs Bar
rick. who is a cOlOred woman about
45 years old and reputed TO be
wealthy. She got bail and at once
sent word TO Detective Jones. who had
charge OF the case. that she would
like 10 meet him and fix things up
, with him and the two policemen who
had made the arrest. Undoubtedly
she had precedent for such a proce-
dure
Jones made date with her. They
met in Ceptral Park. with a stenog-
raRher hiding in a clump OF bushes
nearby. Jones agreed to take $40O
from the woman. $500 for himself and
$10o for each OF the cops. The money
was to be paid in one of the big de-
partment stores in 42d St

HOGS IN 81. JOSEPH COUNTY.

We hope our farmer readers and
others interested in the agricultural
development of ST. Joseph county are
getting the full benefit of the weekly
articles by John S. Bordner. county
agriculture agent, published in these
columns.
They are fun of the applied theory
OF agriculture and what is more the
information applies specially to st.
Joseph county For the purpose OF
pointing a way TO the betterment of
them Mr.. Bordner is Analysing and
exposing conditions as they exist on
the farms Of this county. He treats
OF the soil its products and of live
stock and prescribes the remedies for
the ills with which they are affected
In his article Monday morning
startling figures of the loss sustained
by hog cholera during ;he past year
and incidentally the farmers are told
how many hogs they should have had
IN 1912 and how the 1895 lost by
tcholera might have been saved. The
loss 10 the farmers of st. Joseph
county from this source Mr. Bordner
figures. was S29.S25 in 1912. a tidy
sum of money that could have been
saved at small expense by vaccination
Another significant statement made
BY Mr. Bordner in the article re-
ferred TO was that st. Joseph county
should now have $4,000 good healthy
hogs instead OF approximately one
third that number largely unprotect-
ed against cholera. BY vaccination,
says Mr.. Bordner. the loss from hos
cholera can be eliminated. This is an
authoritative statement and should
encourage farmers to engage more eX-
tensively in hog raising

SAFETY FIRST"

One OF the railroads is circulating
= little story with good effect among
it's men.
Four trainmen one night sat at
table. playing poker. a fifth man
stood looking on; an engineer.
The play ran on until one Of the
players. with an oath. threw down his
hand. AS ne did so, he explained:
i've already lost half my weeks
pay. I've got 10 stop"
The engineer was invited TO take
the surrendered place. He refused,
saying:
Il never take chances with my
money. Besides. it's about time for
my run"
Soon the engineer went to his run.
The night was foggy; "33" was ahead
And as he neared station, going
fast he saw that the distance signal
was against him. which meant "slow
down; get your train under perfect
control"
but pshaw!" he said to himself
there's plenty of time-'33' will soon
pull out and I might as well take a
chance"
So he ran on with speed uncheck-
ed.
A moment later a second signal Of
danger confronted him. The thought
popped into his mind:
Wasn't a tackass TO be so eau
tious about my money. yet so willing
10 take a chance with nv life and the
lives OF others2"
But he answered TO himself:
Nonsense: '33' is bound to be out
OF the way nv this time. Anyhow, 1
could stop within d train length if I
wanted to. It's perfectly safe to go
ahead. So here goes"
Then. swinging round a curve. he
sees "23's" rear lights. applies the
air. but it is too late; there is a crash:
for a time he is unconscious; then he
wakens 10 the sight of the dead being
carried out and as he himself is borne
TO the hospital his ears ring with the
groans Of the dying.
The story is headed -Four Gamblers
and a Chance Taker". 1t might have
been different and still have been just
as true The men at the table might
have been directors, playing for divi-
dends at the expense of equipment.
or they might have been bankers
plotting 10 sacrifice safety TO under
writing profits. Taking chances isn't
confined TO the men at the throttle.
They're not eager TO spill themselves
or their passengers over the right of
way.
Nevertheless it points the right
moral.

INTERESTING FACTS!
Mime. Japrose Talks on
Personal Cleanliness

The daily bathing habit is more than
a desire to appear clean and bright.
1t is a positive necessity for complete
health. The pores of the skin are
nature s breath ducts and to clog them
up is to invite III health. The happiest
men and women and children on earth
are those who are perfectly clean, and
perfect cleanliness comes from the use,
in the bath, of Jap Rose, the bubble
bath soap. The delicate odor of this
delightful toilet requisite gives one that
sense of perfect cleanliness; free from
the odors of perspiration. Sold st
10c by almost every good merchant in
this country.

IN common with others of our
species we have endured more or less
tickling under the chin and around
the neck and on the nose from long,
frayed and restless feathers worn by
females of various ages and condi-
tons standing or sitting in front of US
in the street cars.
But it never occurred TO US. as it
did TO a Chicago man, to take out our
knife and snip off the end of the Of
Tending relic of a rooster or some
other feathered animal
Why is that not the solution of the
problem, which, speaking as men
cOnfronts US?

WHO will presume to inhict the

case of the New York boy who stole

nothing short OF a travesty on justice
TO send that boy 10 prison.

TEXAS GOVERNOR INDIGNANT.

Austin, Tex. Feb. 19.-Governor O.
b. Colquitt, of Texas, sent a telegram
today to United States Senator Culb-
erson. in which he asserted that "the
present Federal policy toward this
State is an outrage" and urged that
efforts be made to have additional
United States troops assigned to pa
troll duty along the. Mexican Texas
border.
IF j am compelled to take the sit
uation in hand, / will do so vigor-
ously," said the Governor in his tele-
gram.
Definite action should be taken by
the Federal Government and protec-
tion given by garrisons OF troops, or
the Government should advise us that
nothing will be done and let US look
out for ourselves. We will not hesl-
tate to protect our people If we can be
advised that the Federal Government
will not do so.'
Governor Colquitt advised Senator
Culberson that the situation along the
border has been growing worse daily
and was augmented by the movement
OF troops along the frontier to other
points. From all along the Rio Grande
the Governor declares, frantic appeals
have been made to him for protection
and that property of the State Is en-
dangered by incursions of Mexicans
In several instances the Governor said,
the appeals for aid told Of the raiding
of ranches and farms.
