FORMER NOTED TRAIN
 ROBBER IN THE CITY
GEORGE soNTAG, Ex-PRisoNER AND REFORMED HIGHWAY
 MAN VISITS HOT SPRINGS.

George Sontag, whose name was a by-word 2O years ago, and who, in those days, known as the most daring train robber and bank robber in the middle west, is in Hot Springs, a guest at the Great Northern hotei.
 To see and converse with this suave and quiet-spoken man, one would hardly think that after a career of crime unexeelled in the annals of the country, that he had spent 15 and onehalf years of the best part of his fife behind prison walls. Yet such is the case. Sontag, after his cap tire. with 10 less than seven bullets in his body, was convicted and sen tenced to prison where he served more than fifteen years. His prison life effected a complete reform and he is now travelling over the country, occasionally leeturing on the horrors of prison life, and teaching moral to those who are inclined to jeopar dize their life and liberty for the sake of money.
 Sontag will remain in Hot Springs several days He is taking the baths and resting. His identity became known through former friends and he is proving an interesting parsonage.

 Before the city committee decided to receive payments for admission on the city primary ticket it was decided to settle this much-mooted question, and therefore took the matter up with the attorney-general.
 In the past this question has been prominent. At one time Judge C. Floyd Huff served the city as city at torney, when he resided outside of the city limits The situation was ire quently referred to with some cfitt- cism.

Missionary Work That Is Left Undone
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX
Copyright. 1918, by Star Company.

A large percentage IN one
Christian institution in China is
composed of children either men
tally or physically defective.
The letter which is appended
makes one ponder on the why's
and wherefores of our American
methods OF charity and beuevo-
lence. The letter came as a re
Spouse to an article in this col
umn, which spoke OF the rampant
sin everywhere prevalent in civ
ilized lands--of willful race sui
eide" in the destruction of I'M
born children.
The Chinese mother waits until
her unwelcome child Is born be-
fore she destroys Il; the Chris
tian American mother in Chris
tian lands is quite as much in
need of missionary work as the
Chinese woman; and her help
less offspring are even more IN
need of a crusade for their sal
walton.
Margaret Murray Dow, of New
York, who wrote the following
letter, was asked II she would
consent to its publication before
it was herein presented. There
fore, it's rather severe accusa-
tons OF sins Of omission on the
part Of American Christian
clersymen and church members
must be regarded as authentic.
For fourteen long years I have
been voluntary missionary to the

way I have tried, as q Christian

alone as they are, neglected and
without the influence of Christian
women and men, save for my Cos
pei meetings and my home, it is
no wonder they so away from
Mothers prayers
Every temptation that can be
presented is before them.
Not a church goes out of its
way to save them Not minis
ter but the Rev. I. b. Griswold
ever comes to help the meetings.
About 20 ministers OF this
great city (New York; have been
written of the work. with the one
response: The big salaried min
listers have no time for such
small ca unknown work
In this service It has been my
aim TO help the lads as mother
would-to warn them against the
surroundings At the garrison, to
get them to churches and to be =
friend to them.
Women need not down men
for dual life, They have only
to regard their attitude to the
marriage law in the light OF the
Almighty's keen eye to know they
are worse than the men when
they sin against His law.

standard Of its women. Let Amer
lea take care how she lowers the
standard at the awful pleasure ot
