ernor State of Mississippi:
We, the undersigned citizens, would
most respectfully petition Your Excel
lency to grant a pardon to Warren Rus
sell, alias Chunky, now serving a term
in the State Penitentiary and as reasons
why such pardon should be granted we
would show the following to-wit:
That the said Warren Russell, alias
Chunky, was convicted of murder and
sentenced to the Penitentiary for life
at the November Term, 1910, in the
Circuit Court of Leflors County; that
he was then only a boy seventeen years
of age; that he had no money with
which to employ counsel and one was
appointed by the Court and by agree
ment with the Distric: Attorney q plea
of guilty and sentence as above stated
was entered; that the offense was coIn.
| mitted at a negro festival; that this is
the only trouble he has ever been in
and during the time he has been in the
penitentiary he has made a model pria'
oner and that we believe he has beer
| sufficiently punished.
Respectfully submitted,
WARREN Russell,

ClOTHE UP WITH NEWS,

Those who are fnsuficiently clothed
by day or covered by night can save
themselves from not 4 little of their
suffering by resort to q material SO
cheap and easily obtained that all can
have it In practically unlimited guam.
titles. The protective material in ques-
ton is paper in the form of innumer-
able journals which, once read, are
usually thrown away or destroyed.
Newspapers make an excellent addi-
ton to thin blankets, and by the exer-
else of a little ingenuity they can be
invisibly bestowed about a shivering
body in a way very appreciably to de-
crease discomforts. The worth of the
paper vests that are OF sale in many
shops is familiar to many, but they are
most often worn, not for the lack of
other clothing, but to avoid the putting
on of enough Of that other clothing to
make an irksome burden. Anybody
can make out of two or three old
newspapers a vest as good. if not as
convenient, as the boughten ones. and
though these amateur productions
lack durability, they will serve through
an emergency and can be replaced as
often IS may be desirable. The value
Of the paper as a protector from cold
is due, Of course, to its being such q
poor conductor of heat, a quality which
increases rapidly as layer is added to
layer. The best kind, for. this purpose,
is fortunately that which Is most
abundant-the one kind that can be
had for the asking, or even for the
taking.

Jack" brought to the scene OF the ac-
cident. With the aid of this tool the
car was raised from the track and the
little form of the child removed. 1t
required at least twenty-five minutes
from the time Of the accident until 1t
was possible to extricate the child. In
the meantime DR.. Donahue had arrived
on the scene and the ambulance was
in waiting. The little patient. still
conscious was taken to Mercy hospital.
Not once did the child utter an out
cry and 1t was only after the anes-
thetics had been administered, did she
lose consciousness. The leg was found
to be so severely mangled that ampu-
tation was necessary just below the
hip. The operation was performed by
Drs. Allen, Donahue and Schroeder.
Altho the child's condition is critical,
yet hopes are being entertained for her
recovery.
Lost Much Blood.
The little patient lost considerable
blood and the body was thoroughly
chilled during the terrible ordeal thru
which it passed. Its grit and heroism
was marvellous. Soon after the father
arrived upon the scene he missed the

too might have been injured. asked his
