his gold watch and chain and pocket

end and toothpick.
How did You see it pop into my
pocket?' he asked the Jack In the Box.
.Tll never tell YOU" said the Jack In

You've found your collar button, and

ARE PARENTS PAR1lcIps cRlmIkls,

The child victim of a heinous crime
is dead at LeMars. The circumstances
of her death are the most shameful
and outrageous that can be grouped
about murder. The rapist and MUIR
derer is at large and unknown. But
the murdered body OF little l2-year-
old girl goes to her grave shattered
and shamed.
1t was a circus in LeMars. The
town was filled with strangers. The
conglomeration OF humanity that fol-
lows a big show. wandering laborers
with the circus, those hangers on who
follow in the wake Of attractions seek
ing whereby they may profit in all
manner of ways legitimate and evil
1t was a time for l2-year- old girls to
stay close at home unless accompanied
and protected. And so the statement
that this child was given a dime and
permitted TO go unattended to ride on
the merry-go-round at the circus
grounds stands out in the relation of
the crime. The family appears to have
gone to bed without assuring itself
that the child was within doors. 1t
awoke 10 a terrible sorrow.
1t is useless TO expect 12-year-old
girls to care for themselves. They are
helpless against brute force by
their physical weakness Their very
ignorance and lack Of knowledge Of
the dangers that Turk in their paths,
make them easy prey to design.
The story from LeMars has its les
son; but the story every observer who
walks late in the evening might tell
carries similar warning. He sees chill
dren unattended Or worse than IN
attended in odd places, children of re-
spectacle parents in many instances
whose fathers and mothers are taking
the great chance that carelessness or
foolish fondness affords.
The perpetrator of that crime at
LeMars deserves death on the scat
fold. No punishment can fit his crime.
And the statute provides the peniten-
tiary as a punishment for those who
are guilty OF serious misconduct with
children below certain age and that
penalty is if anything lacking in Sc
verify. The penalty of parents who re-
fuse or fail to guard their own children
Is life long sorrow.
