KILLS SNAKE; SAVES GIRL.
Collie Dies From Poison After Making
Heroic Eicht,

Caldwell, N. J.-Don, a collie dog
owned by John Miller Of Fairfield ave-
nue., West Caldwell, gave up his life
to save the six-year-old daughter of
his master from an attack by copper
head snake. The dog managed to kill
the snake, but died two hours later
from poison.
Agnes Miller and her older sister,
Clara, started out fora romp with
Don. They were making for small
clump of woods not far from their
home, with the dog close at their heels.
The dog suddenly sprang forward,
gave a growl and leaped upon good
sized copperhead snake directly in the
path of the little girl.
The older girl saw Don tackle the
snake, and she seized her little sister
and pulled her away from the reptile.
Both the girls then ran home as fast
as they could and told their father Of
the adventure. Don got back to the
house, but died soon afterward.
Miss Clara Miller said that if the dog
had not tackled the snake just at the
moment her little sister would have
been bitten by the reptile, which was
not more than three feet from her at
the time.

THE LITTLE WHITE VICTIM.

We really should be thankful that
we live in these enlightened times,
when our lives cannot easily be sworn
away in the courts, when medical men
know something of medicine, and
Hanging judges" are few and far be-
tween. A few weeks ago some merry
picnickers in a western town refreshed
themselves with ice cream, and short
ly afterwards they were tying them
selves in sailors knots, and several
narrowly escaped death. The learned
physicians who were summoned said
that ptomaine poisoning was RESPONSE
bic. and nobody was hanged.
Had that occurred a hundred years
ago, the doctors would have said that
arsenic was the cause OF the calamity,
and the officers of the law would have
gone hunting for the poisoner; then
woe betide anybody who was known
to have a grudge against any of the
sufferers! How many innocent people,
accused of poisoning, have been le-
gally butchered will never be known
until the roll is called up yonder, but
The Yale expositor., 1916-09-07

their names are legion. Among these
sacrifices to medical ignorance, and
stupidity, as well as to the blood
thirsty rapacity of prosecuting law
yers, none ever gained the public SYM
pathy to such a degree as did Eliza
beth Fenning, who suffered on the tire
less British gallows nearly hundred
years ago.
For long time her name was
household word in England. When she
was sentenced to death some of the
greatest and most famous men in the
country exerted themselves in her be-
half; poets wrote verses about her;
men of high standing circulated petit
tons; the plain people held mass meet
lngs and passed resolutions; but all In
vain. The British idea of justice, a
hundred years ago, was that it is bet
ter TO hang a hundred innocent people,
than to let one guilty person escape.
Elizabeth Fenning was the daughter
Of poor but worthy parents, and she
grew up with the knowledge that she
would have to work for her living.
Being a sensible girl, she determined
to excel in her humble calling, so she
became an excellent cook. At odd
times she studied diligently and gained
a general education that was unusual
In one of her station. She was pretty,
modest and self-respecting, and made
good impression everywhere.
Upon an evil day she accepted a
portfolio as cook in the family of Rob-
ert Gregson Turner, London station
er. Turner's father lived with him,
and also two or three clerks. Mrs.
Turner was one of those imperious
Queen Elizabeth sort of women who
we're more numerous-thank heaven =
century ago than they are now. She
looked upon her servants and hand
maidens as being a trifie less than hu-
man, and always was reading the riot
act TO them and making their lives
a burden. She rebuked Elizabeth for
imaginary offenses. The girl, who did
her work conscientiously, was more
used to praise than criticism, and Mrs
Turner's lectures wounded her deeply
Elizabeth was good cook, and she
took special pride in her apple dump
lings. She felt that when II came to
apple dumplings she could please the
crowned heods, and upon several oc
casions she asked Mrs. Turner's per
mission to prepare these delicacies
The old girl always vetoed this propo
sItion, saying that her folks didn't care
three wnoops for dumplings. AT las
the girl got permission to dish up some
of her celebrated dumplings, so sh'
secured some yeast from the brewer
and some milk from the milkman, am

DETERMINING COST
OF ANY ENTERPRISE
Government Figures Show That
65 Per Cent Is for Feed
Keep Clear Record.

We sometimes get the impression
that the cost of keeping horse or a
COW is determined by the amount OF
feed consumed. plus the amount of
labor expended, and possibly an in
terest charge. The government has
published figures on the cost of rails
ing, from birth, a two-year-old heifer
which show that 65.6 per cent Of the
total cost was expended for feed.
12.9 per cent for labor, so per cent for
interest, and 1916 per cent for other
charges, such as buildings, equipment.
bedding, ETC., or with total expense
of S6206. These items which might
be called "other charges" amounted
to 1912.
This emphasizes the need of caution
in determining the cost of any single
enterprise of the farm. Too frequent
ly these "other charges" are omitted
in reporting profits. About the sur
est way to avoid the possible error
is to keep a complet set Of accounts.
OF course, there is some work attached
to IL but by adopting simple direct
entry method of bookkeeping II isn't
such bad job.
The Yale expositor., 1916-09-07

years an eminent British scientist
wrote a paper on this case, and dem
onstrated conclusively that the Turn
ers were not poisoned with arsenic,
whatever caused their sufferings. None
of the symptoms of arsenical poisoning
was present.
All evidence against the girl was
freely admitted, but whenever wit
ness for the defense was on the stand,
his evidence was ruled out on one
pretext or another, and the unfortunate
girl was found guilty and sentenced
to death. Had she been convicted of
making bad dumplings and fined five
shillings that would be no cause fer
complaint. but the girl really was
hanged for making poor dumplings.
Nobody outside the courtroom and the
Turner family ever believed she was
poisoner.
Nothing could be more pitiful than
the fate of Elizabeth Fenning. Such
determined efforts were being made in
her behalf by great men and women
that IL seemed almost certain her sem
tence would be committed. But all
the efforts failed, and on the morning
of July &c, 1916, she was told to pre-
pare herself for translation. She came
from her cell wearing a white muslin
dress and a snowy cap. Her pretty,
gentle face was untroubled, her eyes
undismayed. Hardened criminals and
men accustomed to horrible scenes had
tears on their cheeks while the execu-
toner bound her hands. A distin-
guished citizen of London, who had
worked night and day to save her,
stepped up to her, sobblng, and said :
"Tell me, Elizabeth, In the name of
God. that you are innocent"
'Tn the name of God, then, am
innocent" replied the girl, and they
were her last words. She died at the
age of twenty-one, and no gallows was
ever put to more barbarous use.
Next day, and for several days there
after crowds collected In the street
where the Turner's lived, and lombard
ed the house with rocks, and IL was
a long time before any of the Turner's
could appear in public with safety
Elizabeth's parents had bankrupted
themselves trying to secure justice for
her and fund was raised for their
relief. and the fact that money for
that fund came from all over Europe
shows how intense was the indignation
over the murder OF this unfortunate
girl.
