MARY BLANDY does not rank with
lvl the great artists In crime, but as
an illustration Of human perversity
she remains supreme. The babes and
sucklings Of her time have become ven-
cradle men and women, and all kinds
Of water have passed under the bridge
but her name still lives In England,
and when old lawyers encounter pc
culiarly cold-blooded criminal, they are
wont to say that he is as bad as Mary
Blandy.
Mary lived with her parents at Hen
ley-0n-Thames. Her father was fine,
comfortable man, solicitor who had
a seemly package Of pieces Of eight
salted down to his old age, and to leave
to his beloved daughter when he went
to sleep with his fathers. Mary was
the Joy and pride of his life. He
thought so much Of her that he used to
bore his friends describing her noble
and charming qualities. and seemed to
be under the impression that she ought

really, the old man was not without
excuse, for Mary was most attractive
damsel. She was young, well educat-
ed, of divers accomplishments, and a
pleasant personality. The father was
justified In believing that she eventu-
ally would marry some excellent eiu.
zen. and live happy ever after.
IL she didn't do this 1t was not be-
cause Of lack Of excellent citizens,
or backwardness on their part. Her

after another. when they volunteered

what followed Ii is we'll to remember
that Mary Blandy had her chance to

young men Of the countryside.
In the fullness of time Captain
Cranstoun came to Henley on recruit

the ugliest thing seen on the main

So the young men held an indigna-.

Proof Of this was sent to Mr.. Blandy,
and he tried to call halt. He put his

Overlooked Points In Waoer

A wager is said to have been won
by Sir Walter Raleigh, from Queen
Elizabeth on the question of how much
smoke Is contained In a pound of yir-
ginia tobacco. A pound of the weed
was weighed, burned and then weighed
again, in ashes. The question was
held to be satisfactorily settled by
determining that the weight of the
smoke was exactly that of the tobacco
before being burned, minus the resId.
uum Of ashes. The fact that the ashes
had received additional weight by COM
bining with the oxygen of the atmos-
phere and the further fact that certain
gases were evolved In the process Of
combustion We're unthought of by the
queen and Sir Walter, the knowledge
of such things not having then been
revealed.

give him up. One Of the curious things
about this case il that Mary's mother
was champion Of the captain from
first to last. She called him her dear
son. and when she fell SICK, after the
captain had been forbidden the house
by Mr.. Blandy. she moaned and walled
for her dear son so greatly that he
had to be sent for. So he sat at her
bedside for hours together, and when
he wasn't there he was pursuing his
courtship Of the daughter.
Meanwhile Mr.. Blandy remained
firm and refused to consent to Mary's
marriage to the captain, notwithstand.
Ing that the latter proved he was q
brother Of the happy warrior, failed te
move him. So Mary and the captain
held caucus and decided that the old
man was superfluous, and would have
to be removed. They laid their plans
carefully. They gave out the informa.
ti0n that funeral music had been heart
In the house, which was a certain
warning that Blandy would die with.
In twelve months. Cranstoun also
went around explaining that he was
gifted with second sight, and he had
seen the old gentleman's ghost. Eav
ing thus prepared the nelghborhood
for fatalities, the captain went to Scot
land and sent Mary a package of pow
der for cleaning silverware, showing
how thoughtful he was. Instead OF
cleaning the silyerware, Mary absent
mindedly began feeding the powder tc
her father, who certainly wasn't silver
lined. She was quite careless about
It. She put the powder in his tea, In
his porridge, In his gravy. Through
a long winter she seasoned his victuals
with arsenic. and the old mans suffer
ings were indescribable. During that
time two servants were nearly killed
by drinking poisoned tea Mary had left
lying around.
JuEe came, and the father still hung
on, and Cranstoun wrote Mary n let.
ter from Scotland, intimating that she
was slower than molasses in January,
and urging her to double the dose.
One day, when Blandy's suiferings had
been intolerable, and he lay moaning
and writhing upon his bed, Mary's
adamantine conscience was touched,
and she confessed that she had been
poisoning him. She fell on her knees
ut his bedside and begged her father
to curse her. II curse thee not said
the poor old man; mo. / bless thee,
and hope God will bless thee. and
amend thy life."
shortly after this he died, and he
was in his grave before suspicion was
directed toward Mary. Then the serv-
ants began to talk, and when suspicion
once was aroused, there was no diff

and handsome still, and suffered all
that the law calls for in such cases.
Cranstoun, when he heard of her ar
rest, fled from Scotland and went to
France. Fearing that he would be
hunted down there, he moved on to
Flanders, where he fell Ill and died.

Farmers Must Organize and Cooperate
With Better Elements Of the Cities
By CARL VROOMAN
Asasa Secretary d Aeieuhm

All the farmers Of the country should put their
shoulders together and go steadily forward, getting
all the help they can from science. But after we get
as much of the light of science should 60
on and explain our position to the country.
You can't get ahead by being selfish. Everybody
in this country has common future; we have COM
mon duty to our flag and common duty to humanity
The farmers can do nothing better than this:
Organize and then attach themselves to the better ele
ments of the cities and great industrial centers For
