their kind, until it's upward course
eliminates in the thoughts Of New
ton and a Darwin.
When the coral polyp throws out
its Iasso to capture the passing food,
when a dog answers the dinner bell,
or when a man raises his umbrella
to the rain, is not each giving evil
dence of the existence Of what we
call mind? There is a progressive
development of the brain in the
higher animals, and mental powers
correspond in force with this growth.
HaeckeI says: "The human mind
is but more highly developed ape
mind" and Wallace declares that
there is less of a gap between the
mind of a dog and a HOttentot than
between the mind of a HOttentOt and
a Newton. DR.. Gray gives instances
of the exhibition of mind in plants,
as when they catch and deVOur in
sects or reach out their tendrils to-
ward supports. Buchner in Mind
in Animals and Ramanes in "Ani-
NAL Intelligence" give this subject
very satisfactory treatment.
As force is in the muscles, so
thought is in the brain. The magnet,
powder, steam, the sensitive plant,
the Iancelet bUrrowing in the sand,
and the thinking man, all show the
combination Of force and matter
which constitutes the universe. Mind
develops in the child from bare con-
seriousness to the thoughts of a phi
losopher. Why should it not have
developed in the race Of man by
gradual process? The difference be-
tween the mental operations of ami
mails and men is one of degree, not
of kind. Animals think the same
kind of thoughts that men do as far
as they extend.-Max Korn.

ALLEN STEVEN.

ALLEN STEVEN. - The trouble
with Allen Steven is he draws on his
imagination instead of his observa-
ton and history for his facts. Take
the statement: WARS are natures
methods of publication" The gov
eminent picks out the most physi-
cauy fit and leave the unfit to sur
EiYe. A queer way to purify the race.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-09-05

Wars increase the wealth Of the
dissolute rich and impoverish most
of the, people. Strengthening the
hold of the parasites on the cOmmu-
nifty is a curious way to purify.
Take another statement: 1.-THE
lower animals, in a wild state, free
from mans defiling influence, are
pure" Where is Aliens proof. OBJ
servation shows the female Of the
common fowl are the most imposed
upon females in existence. The saw
ages in a state of nature burn the
female with the man when the man
dies. If Steven believes we have
refrigerated why doesn't he go to
Africa to live?
Another statement: "The zOolo-
gists tell us that all is struggle" This
statement, while true in a certain
sense, is deceptive. We struggle
against nature, but people prosper
better when they practice mutual aid
among themselves, instead of fight
ing each other Animals practice
mutual aid or struggle together in
stead of struggling separately. (Read
Propotkin on Mutual Aid.'O
His last statement is a cOrker:
"Only tyrants want the war to stop"
Just try to imagine Henry Ford as
tyrant. Steven must be an UncOm-
mon aggregation of atoms. Put his
picture in The Day Book. How a
man can write the way he does and
live is beyond my comprehension

arm was extended through the spOkes
of the drivewheels. The sudden move
ment Of the engine had torn the en-.
gineer's arm from the shoulder and
thus terminated his career. The rail
road company had settled with Adams
for the loss of his arm without suit,
paying him a large sum, with which
Adams set up in business in Sedalia
as q money-lender. He had, however,
as has been said, a good reputation in
the community.
Among his clients were West and
Stubblefield. The latter was we'll
known as a freight train conductor
and was in the service Of the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas Railroad company,
being popularity known as KATY
West had been an engineer for years,
having been in charge Of freight
train. Each Of these men owed Adams
quite a considerable sum of money
It was in the course of conversation
with them about their Indebtedness to
him that Adams was approached by
them upon the subject Of robbing the
train. 1--WE will have plenty Of money
to pay you all that we owe you in a
few days." said one Of them, and then
they asked him to join them in pull
ing off the job, which he agreed to do
for the reason stated.
I had known Mr.. Clark for a number
Of years, and, as stated above, had
done considerable work for him while
chief special agent for the Missouri Pa
ciic road. 1 had severed my connec-
ton with that line at this time and
was conducting a secret service COM
pany in St. Louis. 1t was on account
Of the close friendship between us that
Mr.. Clark had sent for me. and on this
account I was especially anxious to
Illustrate the robbery.
"Turlong," said the superintendent,
Gust as soon as the time and place for
this hold-up have been fixed l will no
tify you, and want you to take meas
ures to prevent that train from being
robbed and to catch the guilty par
ties"
Early on the morning Of November
% I received message from Mr..
Clark, stating that the superintendent
had just learned from Adams that the
passenger train on the Lexington
branch was to be held up and robbed
that night at point nine miles north
of Sedalia, and instructing me to take
immediate steps to protect the train
and prevent the robbery. The super
intendent placed w. W. Kay, his spe-
cial agent, at my disposal, and two
more agents, Detective Frank Barnett
and another, who joined me at indie
pendence. The fifth member of the
party was Joseph S. Manning, one OF

The American railroad men are one
of the finest bodies of public servants.
Their sense of responsibility is admit
tedly very high. So rarely does one
betray his trust that the following rec
ord is almost unique, and may be
read without offense as the exception
which proves the rule.
About the twentieth day of Novem-
Der, 1898, received an urgent sum-
mons from Mr.. Horace G. Clark, then
general superintendent of the Gould
system, with headquarters at St.
Louis. I had formerly been chief OF
the secret service for the system and
so lost no time in hurrying to the su-
perintendent's office.
"Furlong," began Mr.. Clark, "a hold
up has been planned to take place
near Sedalia, ON the Lexington branch,
and I want you to take charge of the
matter Immediately. The information
has been supplied by one of the con-
spirators, who is really acting in our
interests"
Mr.. Clark" answered, my expert
ence has convinced me that 1t is i'm
possible to rely on the statement Of
! man who is admittedly betraying
his companions"
The superintendent demurred to this
principle and explained the circum-
stances. Adams, the informant, had
:old him that the plot to hold up and
rob one Of the trains had been formed
by six railway men, including himself,
James West, an engineer, and Ell
5tubblefield, an ex-conductor. The eX-
act date and point had not been def
nitely fixed, but Adams was to furnish
4 team and conveyance which would
take the would-be bandits to the place
where the scheme was to be pulled
off," and after the coup had been &C
complished he was to take them back
10 the city of Sedalia. He further in
formed Superintendent Clark that
when the date and point of attack had
been settled he would at once advise
him, inasmuch as he had only agreed
TO furnish the conveyance and assist
In the robbery so that each of the
robbers might be apprehended and
handed over to the law.
Adams had been a faithful employee
Of the company for number OF
years, and was in good standing with
It. He had been locomotive en-
gineer, and his record was excellent.
He was regarded in the community in
which he lived as sober reliable and
intelligent man, and good citizen.
While oiling around his engine one
day at a station the throttle had begun
10 leak, thereby admitting steam to
the cylinders, which caused the en-
CINE to move suddenly while Adams
The Tomahawk. [volume] (White Earth, Becker County, Minn.) 1903-192?, 1916-06-22

would give them ten dollars If they
would hitch up and drive him to Sc
dalia. They told him that it would
be impossible to procure horse at
that time of night, and he departed for
Sedalia, holding his right arm, and
leaving q trail Of blood along his
tracks.
Having thus satisfied ourselves as
to Stubblefield's objective, Barnett
and abandoned the hunt, returned to
our engine, and were soon in Sedalia
once more. Within two or three hours
our conjecture that Stubblefeld was
on his way to the town proved cor
rect, for the wounded man, who turn
ed out to be Stubblefield, as had been
expected, was captured near his house
by Manning and the Sedalia police
officer, who were waiting for him, in
accordance with their instructions.
Stubblefeld was taken to the county
jail, where West had already been in
carcerated, and a physician was called
to dress his wound. 1t was found that
the bullet from my weapon had passed
through Vests right arm, breaking
the bones at the elbow. The wound
soon healed, but Stubblefield never
had the use Of the arm again. It al
ways hung limp at his side.
West had a double reputation in Sc
dalia. He had been at one time SUI
perintendent of a Sunday school, and
stood we'll in the estimation Of the
business people of the town. He was
also known, among another class of
citizens, as a poker player of parts.
Early next morning West was released

wealthy and prominent Sedalia bush
ness men, but later in the day, on
learning all the facts in the case
among which was this, that two six
shooters had been found on West
when he was searched, the bondsmen
surrendered him to the sheriff, and
he was again locked up, remaining in
prison until his trial.
Adams, the informant, who appears
to have played a perfectly reputable
part in the proceedings, stated to me
on the following day that at the last
moment the other four railroad men
who had promised to join in the rob-
berry, had weakened, and backed out
Stubblefeld and West were, therefore,
the only two whom he had taken out
in his rig. He had driven to the scene
Of the attempted hold-up and waited
there until the train arrived, but as
soon as he was convinced that west
and Stubblefeld meant business, ana
the firing actually began, he did not
wait to carry his part of the bargain
to completion, but hastily drove bach
to Sedalia.
The other men who had promised
to participate in the affair were all ex'
railway men, with the exception OF
one, who was butcher. They were
not tried in connection with the crime
although their names were well
known. In due course both West and
Stubblefied were tried and convicted
of the attempted hold-up and sent to
the penitentiary for long period OF
time.

TO THE GIRLS

II you can dress TO make yourself
attractive,
Yet not make curls and puffs your
chief delight;
II you can swim and row, be strong
and active,
But of the gentler graces lose not
sight:
II you can dance without craze for
dancing.
Play without giving play too strong
a hold,
Enjoy the love OF friends without
romancing,
Care for the weak, the friendless and
the old,
If you can master French and Greek
and Latin,
And not acquire, as well, priggish
mien;
II you can feel the touch Of silk and
satin
Without despising calico and jean;
II you can ply saw and use a
hammer,
Can do man's-work when the need
occurs,
Can sing when asked, without ex-
cuse or stammer,
! Can rise above unfriendly snubs and
slurs;
II you can make good bread as well
as Judges,
Can sew with skill and have an eye
for dust;
II you can be friend and hold no
grudges,
A girl who all must love because
they must;
II sometime you should meet and
love another
And make a home with faith and
peace enshrined,
And you its soul-a loyal wife and
mother,
You'll work out pretty nearly to my
mind
The plan that's been developed thru
the ages,
And win the best that life can have

You'll be, my girl, model for the

A woman whom the world will bow
