TO TRY Youth FOR
KILLING TEACHER
JURY FOR HIS LIFE NEXT
MONDAY.

Little Falls, N. Y; May 2.-Monday
next is the day set for the opening OF
the trial of Jean Gianini, the 17-y ear
old youth who is accused of having
murdered Miss Ida Beecher "a young
scrool teacher of the town of Poland.
Despite the fact that Gianini is alleged
to have made a confession of the
crime a vigorous effort is to be made
TO obtain his freedom His father,
who is well-to-do, has retained emf
nent counsel to conduct the defense.
The body of Miss Beecher, torn, cut
and bruised, was found in a clump Of
bushes on the outskirts of the town
Of Poland on the morning of March
2S last. The young woman had left
her boarding house in the evening to
mail letter at the village postoftice.
After she did not return, search for
her was begun, but it was not until
the next morning that farmer, driv-
ing along the road, found the body.
Miss Beecher, who was the daugh-
ter of a minister, had for several years
imbibed deeply religious spirit and
had planned to quit teaching at the
end of the present term and offer her
self as Presbyterian missionary in
foreign fields. She had become deep
ly interested in the moral welfare of
young Gianini, who had been one of
her pupils, and had written to her
father on the subject of the course
she should pursue in reclaiming him
from evil ways. 1t is supposed that
the youth tired Of the teachers per
sistence in her efforts to have him
reform. Then, too, it is believed that
Gianini feared Miss Beecher would
use her influence to have him commit
ted to an industrial school. Luring
the young woman from the village
on the pretext of meeting his father
to talk over his case, Gianini is be
lieved to have attacked and killed hei
with a wrench that was found in his
| possession.

Big Waste of Money.

Big Waste of Money
Grown in Mississippi" not only
means advertising Mississippi-grown
products, but it will result in growing
more products of standard quality
to advertise. When he was in Mis-
sissippi, Prof. Holden gave some strik-
ing facts of how this state has been
spending money for those things
which she can grown more profitably
than the states frCm which she buys
them. He showed that every year
Jackson sends nearly $2,OO0,0O0 into
the Central West for beef and pork,
lard, butter and eggs, canned goods,
and horses and mules Meridian
sends $1,6OO,0O0; Hattiesburg nearly
$1,500,O0O and smaller towns from
$4,000 to $5OO,OOO for western food
stuffs every year. Most of these
products come from states that are
not favored in climate or in rainfall
as Mississippi is favored. They come
from states where the production of
beef cattle costs a great deal more
than in Mississippi.
-Four dollars out of every six of
your cotton money" said Prof. Hol-
den, ''go into the Central West fol
those foodstuffs that you can raise
here cheaper than the Central West
can produce them. Then when the
foodstuffs are gone, you have neither
the money nor the products"
The Grown in Mississippi" cam
paign is encouraging the boys and
girls to raise live stock and poultry
"a pig for every boy and a calf fol
every girl" This is the slogan that
will make most of the children of the
state as deeply interested and as
active in the raising of live stock as
they are in the growing of corn ant
tomatoes. Farmers who are able tt
do so are being urged to give theil
boys pig and their girls dozen o.
more chicken apiece, or a calf. Wher
properly taken care Of, pigs and caive,
and chickens quickly grow into mon
ey. There is boy at Brookhaver
who has already started out on /;
career as live stock farmer, all be
, cause his mother gave him pig. TIL,
boy is typical Of what other boys ant
other girls too will do with pig or
calf.
Several prominent business men, /
is said, are arranging to give pigs an,
calves to the boys and girls whom
they think will be able to take car
of them and make them profitable.

Reports prevail in London that

that case the government would be

measure would bring the Irish Home

! have chosen this morning a very

twenty-eighth chapter Of Acts at the

said unto Paul Almost thou per-
suadest me TO be Christian
These two men are types repre-
senting the two classes Of people in
the earth today, for there are but
two classes as God looks down from
Heaven on mankind. The Apostle
Paul on the one hand, the highest
type of noble, Christian gentleman,
Agrippa on the other, a thorough
representative type of worldly man,
a politician and a successful one.
The Apostle Paul was at the crisis

pending upon this meeting; and
King Agrippa was at the crisis OF

that he turned his attention more
definitely TO surveying. In fact, he
was greatly interested in exactness,
and the educational value of survey
ing suited his taste. Even In his boy
hood, from this period on he never
found happiness in intercourse with
his fellowmen or In reading; but It
was in the active outdoor life that he
was at his best He was pronounced
"a sober little prig'' by no lesser per
sonage than Lord Fairfax, when ct
fifteen he again took up his residences
at Mount Vernon with Lawrence. On
better acquaintance, Lord Fairfax
changed his opinion, realizing that the
lad was not cold and unresponsive by
nature but as shy as a girl. In due
time friendship sprang up between
the two-the young lad and the older
man-which had a tremendous inhu-
ence on the after-life Of George Wash
ington.
It was during these years that
WASHINGTON developed great personal
strength and endurance, and because
OF these physical qualities it was fre
quently temptation on land or wa
ter to put his powers to the test. In
fact, his greatest pleasure seemed to
be- in encountering danger which ap-
parently lifted him in body and mind
above his common level. During this
time also his powers of decisiveness
and swift judgment developed greatly.
Riding was one of his greatest joys,
and he early prepared for the years
when he was to be so much in the

Va, on the Rappahannock.
From all the Lives" and Letters"
extant we CLEAN the fact that the lad
who was destined to become "the
greatest American Of them all" spent
his boyhood much like other lads Of
his age and position, perpetrating
many pranks and receiving many
whippings in consequence. On more
than one occasion did he and his man
Peter roast ears Of corn in forbidden
cabins Of the field slaves or go on
surreptitious coon hunts at night
when all the house was asleep. In
other words, young "Massa" d!d as
he pleased when with Peter, to whose
care he was entrusted more than ever
after the elder Washington died in
1Z42, When George was a lad Of
eleven.
As a youngster Washington had
remarkable bump of curiosity which
his father encouraged, but which to
the contrary his mother disliked. AS
to the latter, we all know how fool
lshly fond she was Of her children,
allowing her love to interfere with
her good judgment, many times, max
ing herself miserable in their behalf
Yet there is no doubt that Washing
toms mother, as has been the case
with all great men, had a potent in
huence over his life, and her strong
character was afterwards reflected
N the remarkable balance shown by
her son in whatever situation he was
placed. And to his mother Washing
ton was always a most devoted and
Dbedient son.
After his fathers death he was
soon made to understand that he
must do something for a living. By
the provision of his fathers will,
Mount Vernon was inherited by his
brother, Lawrence, while the few
acres on the Rappahannock were to
be given George upon his becoming
Of age, though as matter Of fact he
never claimed them. His sensible
brother, Lawrence, and his half
brother, Augustine, disapproved Of the
easy life Of the sons Of planters and
many animated discussions were held
~ to the future Of their young |
brother
Meantime, George was living with
his half-brother, Augustine, though |
later he spent much time at Mount
