HOMELESS BUTTE CHILD IN
ATTEMPT TO KILL HIMSELF

Paris, with a population close to
100000, was astonished a short
time ago to learn that it had within
its precincts a boy who lived in ash
cans. But Butte, with a population
100 times less, had one up until one
day recently, when humane officers
took charge of him and started to
find him a home. The lad, about 10
years old, has been a waif, unkempt
and uncared for, since his mother
died two years ago. He had a home
occasionally, until his father, who in
a smaller town would have qualified
as the town drunkard, finally disap-
peared a few weeks ago.
After that, home for the child was
the streets, with meals as irregular
as those of the proverbial alley cat,

attempted to kill himself. That

her the results of my observations

c~asions, l believ, I convinced her of
the true situation.

Discovers New Kind Of Heat
Which BaniSheS Coal
and Wood

Mr.. B.. M. Oliver of st. Louis, has
discovered a new kind of heat that
dispenses entirely with coal and
wood. 1t is a device which burns
$500 air and 800 kerosene, and is in
stalled in one minute in any cook
stove, heater or furnace. This new
invention is already sweeping owe
the country like wildfire. 1t elimin-
ates hours of work, p~erspiration and
drudgery. 1t does away with coal
and wood forever-yet gives three
times the heat in winter. Just turn
a valve and you have plenty of heat
for cooking or baking. Another turn
and the heat is off.
1t fits any stove without change of
parts-simply sets in the firebox. 1t
is absolutely safe and generates it's
own gas from kerosene. Mr.. Oliver
will send you an attractive booklet
If you write for it. Just address him

played his part, and it was a mans
part, too. He had served a term in
the legislature, and acquitted himself
most creditably.
Bishop Faber, the dead minister's
superior, gave out a statement to the
Associated Press shortly after the
shooting, which was in part as fol-
lows:
II believe as a result of the in
vestigation | have made of the
tragedy which occurred in the
Christler home early Friday morn
ing and after questioning those
who knew about it, that if this
woman had been able to work her
will on Mr.. Christler he would be
alive today, unfaithful to his wife,
but still living"
Frank e. Carleton, in a statement
following that of Bishop Faber, takes
issue with the church official. He
said in part:
This attempt to make it appear
to the world that Margaret threw
herself upon this man and that he
tried to demonstrate and lead her in
to a spiritual path, has goaded me in
to expression.
Challenges Bishops Action
Though he be a bishop and a
Christian man, l challenge the sim
cerity of his belief as expressed in the
statement above referred to. The So
called investigation alluded to by
his reverence must of necessity have

friendly and ministerial interest in

W1fe's maiden name, and sent them

casion for this subterfuge if his in
terest in her was such as the bishon
and friends of the mar would have
you believe?
No Reflection on Mrs. Carleton
Let 1T be well understood that in
making this statement, I intend to
cast not the slightest reflection or
condemnation upon my wife, for no
one knows as we'll as l do the influ-|
ence which this mar held over her
and which could reasonably be term

minister had practiced the teachings
which he espoused from the altar.
why this influence which he had over
her was not utilized to save her from
this infatuation.
pray tell me why it was necessary
for him to seek her out in Chicago
and elsewhere?
II will confess to bitterness and
would have much preferred that this
tragedy be not discussed, but
when a mar in as prominent a posi-
ton as Bishop Faber sees fit to give
expression to such a statement as is
referred to above, I find it powerless
to restrain myself from expression. RI
