ny life anew. I ask for this opportun
ity because I really mean to reform
If I thought that this boon would be
lenled mo 1 would place a gun to my
i'cad and blow out my brnius. It Is
n old and well established fact that
the offspring of honest parents, no
matter how far he or she may wander
irora the straight and narrow pnth,
will ultimately seek out the footsteps
ol the parents. It Is so with me. I
Imve led a wild life, but the horror of
it has grown upon me so that 1 would
rather die than continue to live as I
1 avo Thero Is nothing to It. Tho
troublo Is Just this. They want me to
come In and plead guilty to the kid
naping and take n year In the pen
Jftut no more of thnt for me. I am
esperatc. I will not go to tho peni
tentiary, but I am eager to live right
if I am given a chance. I would like
to como In and surrender myself. 1
would plead guilty If they would sen
Hence me and then parole me. One

Shunned by His Offspring.

his wife, thirty-one years ago, Gotlieb
Fellmeth deserted his family of four
small girls and has since led a roving
life. Today he Is reaping In bitter
ness the harvest of his neglect. Old
and Infirm, applying for admission to
the poor farm, his story wrings no
sympathy from his daughters' hearts,
who are now married and well-to-do,
and It Is only with great difficulty that
he has persuaded them to glvo him
any sort of home. "Where Is our sis
ter you took away?" is, the constant
cry of all of them, for one girl was
placed In the enre of a home-finding
sorMy and never has been found. His
memory wns becoming poor and he
could not recnll the name of the In
stitution in which he placed her.
NEBRASKA CROP CONDITIONS.
Apple Prospects Are Bright, Cherries
Less Favorable.
Lincoln, May 10. Tho cool nnd gen
erally wet weather or the past week
has been favorable for wheat nnd ryo
nnd they continue in excellent condi
tion. Oats havo grown fairly well,
but the stand Is somewhat thin In
places. Hnln would be beneficial to
all grain and grass In southeastern
counties. (Irnss continues to grow
slowly.
Some progress was mnde with corn
planting In southern nnd southeastern
counties, in most or ttie state very
little corn was ulnnted durlnir the
week. Apple trees are In full bloom
and nrnmlsp a cood cron. Chnrrv
tros nro blooming loss full and were
probably damaged some by tho frosts
early
In tho season. Frost nnd low
temperature this week damaged fruit
In northwestern counties. Strawber
ries are In bloom In southeastern
counties and promise a full crop.

Lovelnnd, Colo., Is hero making a
llnal loundup of workers for tho beet
'sugar Holds of Colorado and Wyom

a train of loO workers will leave over
the IJurllngton tomorrow morning for
fho snme fields Over 1,500 workers
havo been shipped west this spring,
besides the largo demands made upon

Michigan and northern Ohio.
These laborers nro paid $20 per
acre for hand work In the fields, and
besides the company furnishes trans
portation to the plnce of work and
houses, water and fuel for the labor

piactlcally nil of their wages, and
mo family of seven from Hnstlngs
last year saved $1,300 on the season
All return to Nebraska to winter, so
that while the state loses the labor

The llehon Is remarkable for tho great

grounds for believing tlmt they endure
as loti as u hundred years. Their

nourishment Is necessary to keep them

peculiarity nlono is enough to make the
lichen a vegetable wonder, as It Is a
property possessed by no other species

A lllrtl'N AVaiiin.
Birds while still in tho egg lmve a
sharp, horny spike attached to the up
per part of the beak, by means of
which they ure assisted In breaking
out of the shell. This prominence be
comes opposed to the shell at various
points In a line extending all around
the egg at about one-third of the egg't
length from the lnrge end. It makes a
aeries of little holes, thus weakening
the shell, and wh l the chick arrives
at a certain stage of strength nnd de
velopment It has no dlllleulty In break
ing out. In the common fowl this little
weapon drops off a day or two after It
is hatched, but on the pigeon und birds
that are fed by their parent It some
times remains for two weeks.
SlIllKITH Of liVl'Vl'C.
The Acarnanians wore considered the
most skillful sllngers of Greece. Theso
weapons were used not only to throw
stones, but balls of load, and In some
localities, especially In the plain of
Marathon, many of these metal projec
tiles have been found. The relics ure
interesting from the Inscriptions and
devices out upon them, which consist
of the names of persons and appropri
ate epithets, the legend In many cases
meaning when fully translated "Look
out!"
When n IIor.se In Down.
When u witness in an English court
the other day icinarkod that It was
necessary to sit on a horse's head when
he was down to keep him quiet the
Judge replied: "Nothing of the kind.
People don't seem to understand that
ihe only thing necessary Is to got hold
of his ear and keep bis nose up In the
air. I have seen a lady keep a horse
quiet in that way without soiling her
gloves."
