He, however, was spared the grim horror of knowledge of a son’s guilt, for he firmly believed in Rol i and's innocence of the murder, and his fight for the youth's acquittal was urged on not only by affection but by confidence in the triumph of justice. Another father who was buoyed up to the last by faith in bis boy’s inno- j cence was A. F. Tucker, whose son Charles was put to death for killing Mabel Page. To the very last he was j firm in this faith. He Kept up th« fight to prove his son innqcent right to the hour of execution, and in one of his petitions to the governor for clem ency he expressed in a sentence the tragedy of the parent whose son is accused of a grave crime. “Our hearts are bursting with anguish." Such a case as this was that of; J Henry Clay Beattie, the Richmond ! ' banker, whose son has been convict- I I ea of murdering his young wile. He 1 kept up the fight, having appealed for | a new trial, without result. The fa-! 1 liter's heart must be wrung with grief i ever the wild career that led his wayward son into these direful straits, j Much was written about Carlyle Harris’ mother when that boy was on i trial for killing his young wife, and old Charles Harris, the father, was; mentioned only incidentally. Back into the shadows cast by his strong wife sank the figure of the unsuccess ful old man. Nobody paid any atten lion to him. He was aione with his great sorrow " lien Ur. Crippen was being hunt j ed. tried and put to death for killing ! bis wife a lonely old uian in Califor nia followed the reports of the case , with trembling interest. Myron A Crippen was too old to be of any help to the son who had left him long ago. Though ULheraltied, the greater trag edy was the father’s, not the son's. When Albert Wolter was convicted of killing Ruth Wheeler his old father, a veteran of the Franco-Prussian war.; felt the blew as a long-delayed retri bution for the one great sin of his life, and so expressed himself. Albert I was the child of a woman Carl Albert I Wolter had known in Germany. De j setting the mother anti baby, the cider ; Wolter had come to America and wedded another woman. She had died and he. stricken by remorse, had sent . for the mother and child to join him j in America and had legitimatized the one by wedding the other. "The Sins of the Father*." And now this child had committed a murder so fiendish in its horror that tbe old Prussian soldier bowed his head under the shock and murmured words about the sins of the fathers being visited upon their children. Another case was that of Gen. Jere miah V. Messerole of Brooklyn, whose ! son. Darwin J. Messerole. killed Theo dore W Larbig in a fight. The old soldier fought bravely to save his son and the verdict of acquittal, followed as it was by the voung man's conver sion and reception into Plymouth church, was halm to the father's wounded heart There can scarcely be a doubt about the grizzled Confederate veteran. CoL T. V. Ricbeson, believing in his son's innocence. But the tragedy of such j an accusation against a dearly be I loved son is less oniy than that of bis conviction. These fathers whose gray hairs are brought down In sorrow to the grave. : as the patriarch Jacob expressed it. are tragic figures. They appeal for sympathy, bul their weight of woe is too heavy to be alleviated by words.— New York World. ; j No Use for Molly.

A full demonstration of this is the order and declaration which iseri the soldiers to treat the Arabs on friendly terms, respecting their tra ditions. It was a treacherous surprise and many soldiers were shot, the am bulance corps of the Red Cross was attacked and the sick and wounded were horribly killed in the town by shots fired from roofs. Women cried. ■Revolt against the infidels..’ The sol diers were surprised and massacred, and so it was necessary to guarantee our safety and that of the Kuropeans. The soldiers were ordered to shoot men shooting against us and to arrest those keeping arms and munitions, llassunu Pasha admitted it was indispensable that ve should act as we have done, considering the Turks had in Tripoli a wild band preaching a holy war and using such balls as the dum-dum." Despite the gravity of the charges brought against Italy, everybody in Washington is smiling at the appeal made by Turkey. Por years the Turks have ruthlessly slain women and children in Armenia at the slightest provo cation. and on more than one occasion, the civilized world has demanded in tervention of the ihjvi ers to stop the needless, cruel slaughter. Now the Mo hammedans are being slain by Christian* yud Turkey, her hands red with Christian blood, appeals for sympathy and aid!

He traveled at an average rate of HI miles an hour while his machine was in the sir. The daring aviator had many nerve-racking expe riences on his journey.

How to Use Red Cross Seals. "How to T’se Red Cross Seals” is the title of an interesting publication recently issued by the National Asso ciation for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Red Cross Seals must be placed only on the back of letters and not on the address side of packages that are going through the mail. They may be placed anywhere on matter going by express. Care should be taken in sending merchandise through the mails not to place seals over the strings with which the package is tied, since this seals the package against inspection and subjects it to first class postage rates. As many seals may be used on the back of a letter or package a? may be desired Every one is urged to use them iiberaliy. since every seal is a bullet in the war against tuberculosis. Red Cross seals are not good for postage and will not carry mail mat ter. but any kind of mail matter wilt carry them. Finally, every letter or parcel sent out. cither by mail or in some other way, during the holiday season should bear one or more Red Cress Seals. An Early Frohman.

Aids Nature The great tucreta of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis *°ver>' “ curing weak stomachs, wasted bodies, weak lungs, and obstinate and lingering coughs, is based on the recognition of the fundamental truth that “Golden Medical Discovery” supplies Nature with body-build ing, tissue-repairing, muscle-making materials, in con densed and concentrated form. With this help Nature supplies the necessary strength to the stomach to digest - food, build up the body and thereby throw off lingering obstinate coughs. The “Discovery" re-establishes the digestive and nutritive orgens in sound health, purifies aad conches the blood, and nourishes the nerves—in short establishes sound vigorous health.
