daVs WorUNIIfialil. In which un attempt
la mado to draw the city attorney Into
some apparent cuiinectlim with the ousted
members or the South Omnlm Vlra nnd
Police board, t'lt Attorney llemy I.
Murphy said last ntslit that he hud at
no time ever kImii. either written or
in ally any approbation of the straw
bonds cnndcniitfd by the supienie court
f)n the contrary. said Mr. Slurphj
"the fli-e ami o!lce board lias never
troubled ine with Its affairs so fr ua
leBtil nlvicc was concerned. 1 remember
one instant after Tho omalin Hee had
.!.,imm1 the straw bond taken by the
commlsKloueis when llynn came to our
olflce and In a Keneral vay Insisted that
the board was not bound to Investigate
the sureties offered. Ho neither asketl
for advice nor received any. What came
out (n the trial 1 did not know, for I
was not Biiboenaed to testify. It tin
lummlsMoners havo nny such opinion
from me as they claimed to have re
ceived, let thetn show It."
Tho city attorney declated thai he unite
understood tho purport of the notoriety
ghen that section of the court decision
In which he was made to appear as the
adviser of the board, lie added, how
ever, that he was content to let his rec
ord an city attorney copo with any
charges made by men whom he has suc
cessfully opposed at every turn of the
road where ho felt that the best Inter
ests of the taNpnycrs needed his assist
ance. i;nlrncr to .lliindiin I'urU.
After yeais of agitation nnd endeavor
the park board, through J. II. Kopletr,
Its president, and J. M. MacCarthy. Us
secretary, consummated an entrance into
Mandan park, situated In tho southeast
ern sevtlon ot the city. Tho price, paid
was $6,430. Tho transaction whs handled
by the Packers National bank, w hich sold
the $15,000 Issue of bonds floated to pay
for the purchase of tho needed land.
The Barrett tract amounts to six acres
and sixty feet, and lies at tho entrance of
the park near Thirteenth and Boulevard.
For many months the deal has hung fire
under ono pretext or another. Somo
months ruro tho bonds were ordered Issued
apd sold. Spltzer, Itorlck & Co. took tho
bonds, hut later a hitch Is said to liavo
developed In the sale. Some weeks ago
tho money wa-s turned over and the fund
certified to by the city treasurer. The
payment of the money last wvenlng
marked the close of the matter.
Uesldonts ot the southeastern section
of the city. who. for years, have clam
ored for a breathing place, such na would
be provided in a park, are elated over
the purchase. President of the Park
Board .T. II. Kopletz stated yesterday
that the board waa pleased with h-
outcome and that the work of getting
the eighteen acres ot park property
Improved would he undertaken with tht
enrly spilug. It is said that Mandan
park l a natural forest reserve andwel:
adapted to the use Intended for It by lh

Tom Casey Weeps and
Thinks of Old Home
Fourteen years ago last night, Tom
Casey sat near a fireplace In the front
parlor of his mother's home In Bruns
wick. Canada, nnd at p?dFo With the
world. The following day he carved the
turkey at the Christmas feast, attended
by his mother, his two younger brothers
and three sisters. His father had been
dead several years.
Iast night Tom Casey, unkempt, a
wanderer on the face of the earth, and
penniless, dragged his -weary feet Into
the police stuliou for a night's lodging.
Nearly 1ft) other wrecks of men did the
same thing, but there ,was something
different about Casey.
"When did you spend your last CJirlst
mas at home?" Inquired Jailer Tom
Iteldy, as be took tho lodger's name.
As If the word "home" was a dagger
thrust Into his heart, Casey fell hack.
"It's none of your buslnoss," he cried,
augilly. Then hn mood changed, and
ho answered the Jailer's quostlon. He
ald whlfikuy lost him his place In U:c
little Jliuuvivick home and made a tramp
of him. Then he turned and went to the
bunk provided for the homeless by the

TRAGEDIES OF LIFE SEEN
Mnn Wliu Wiri Onco Plentifully,
Kitppllrtt tilth This World's t;ioils
Ciiuir (u ccct tlrlp of the
Hlvnllnii rin).
A traxeih nf the u:dei wuiid-uiadi'
more imlguatil In Its iwtnos hecnutii ot
the merr Chrlstiims time occunol at
ltfi! Dmlge stleet nestenlny ntternoon,
when a ragged, dirty, forlorn woman np
pnared Mtid bcggetl for a flee dinner. Cap
tain Kline of the Salvation Anny if cog
nized tho woman.
"What Is the mutter. Nell?"
"t'ut It out," she ohlsed "1 cnnie hero
for eats, not sympathy."
'1 am not offering jou simiiuthy." Cap
tain Kline replied. "But tell me Is It
booze or coke?"
Nell refuyed to answer. Sue Insisted on
getting the free dinner and showed a
ticket proving that she was worthy )t
charity and needed help.
Then Captain Kline began to talk. He
knows how to talk to such women as
"ltlh Nell." tor Kline has run tho
gamut from the dizzy dome of financial
success to the deepest degradations ot the
gambling hells. ,
'Before the Salvation Army converted
mo. ha said. J was running a gamming
house and was known In the big gambling
Joints from S.in Francisco to Denver.
"Nell," he said, his clear bluo eyes be
ginning to glint with tho light of the man
who has made good when the odds wer
all ut?ntnt hltn. "Nell, l have vone Into
'houses' with Vi.iVi) lu my pockets, tin own
the key over the transom nnd owned the
place for the night. All that Is behind
me. I nm through with It. 1 have little
sympathy. In a way, for you, 1m t' tell mo
what Is the matter I would rather help
than give charity."
Titlks HellRluii.
Captain Kline began talking .religion.
It was not an ordinary sermon, but on
that struck straight ut things as they
are. "Irish Noll" becnnie ujicomrortauie,
and, as tho captain of the llttlo band
whoiwj lives are devoted to the cause -.if
the unfortunate went on with his speecn,
describing bis own life and the lives of
the many others he has known, the dlsso
lute woman broke down and began to
weep.
She said "It was alcohol." the only thing
Bhe could "feel sny more."
"A white-liner, hum?" said the captain,
musing, and began to point out tho folly
of the "booze route" and tho mockery of
tho shameless life. "Irish Nell" left the
place weeping.
Perhaps nobody el-e could have reached
tho hardened heart of the woman as
Captain Kline did, and he could not have
If ho had not spent some hard years liv
ing tho kind of n life Nell had lived and
finding, what sho could not find,
that it!
tended toward denth, nnd not life.
This was Captain Kline's piluciiial
Christmas sermon, ho said, hut hn
preached many others before the after
noon was over. Altogether 200 needy per
sons were given a bounteous dinner by
tho Salvation Army at 1406 Dodge, and
overy phaso ot disaster and every kind
of misfortune was represented In those
who came.
UnskrlM 'l.efl Over.
After the 2.10, who hail been given
tickets after tholr cases were Investlgnted
nnd they were found to be lu want, were
nerved a large uumlier of basket were
left over nnd 100 llttlo pickaninnies and
dirty whlto chlldrou, orlppled men and
shabby women were given food.
Thcso Christmas baskets contutned a fat
chicken, fruit, celery, potatoes, bread,
coffee and sugar. Of the 250 who were
fed, forty families were those whose
names had been suggested by the Asso
ciated Charities, being tho overflow of
tho good fellowship campaign, which un
covered greater need than It rnlsed money
to provide for.
Money for the dinner baskets was
raised largely throug-h the efforts of Kn
slgn Iuura Heller, who, aided by Captnln
Pease and Captain Nelson, prepared and
distributed the food.
"I didn't have much to do with this, '
said Captain Kline. "It Isn't much In
my line. I don't ro much for charity.
If you've got a little time I'll show you
what I nm doing."
Itilim K in pin y HI nil Aueno,
And, keeping up a running fire of
snappy taiK about Ills plans to keep tho
unemployed al work and the tuccess he
has already met with, the captain led
Him way to the old City mission, which
he has tnken lu charge and is running
the most lemarkuble employment agency
in the city.
"You see hem Is what we do. In this
room tha waste papers, rags and chairs
and books urn gathered. Wo bale the pa
pers, store them In tha. room over theic
and fell them by the carload. The money
wc get spend In feeding the men who
work here and In helping others out of
win k. ,
"Tomorrow." he continued. confi
dentially, "we'll give eighteen men Christ
mas dinners down here nnd a dozen offi
cers of the Army." And then ho opened
a grip and showed some presents he had
purchased, ranging from neckties to
socks, depending on the length of time
and the kind of service the men em
ployed nt his mission had rendered.
In one corner of the room the men wero
putting up u Chrlvtmas tree. They went
about their work not as men who are
hopeless, but as nien "who aie wntlu;
for work nnd wanting n Job.
"I know how to advertise." said Cuptaln
Kline, breaking Into u new train or
thought. "See this?" This was a little
pamphlet. ,On one sld was written in
bold letters. "Heed, not creed. Can a
horse eat uewspspoiM or a mun cat mng-j
azlnes YKS. Boost; don't knock." (
WiiH fur (lie- Uimou. '
"That will iuterest them." (aid the cup-I
tain, "and they'll turn the pamphlet over I
to wte otner :ue. TUere There wus
another "k-gend.' "Walt lor the wugon." j
On the insldu of ill parnphlt was an
explanation by Cupuln Kline ot the In
dusttlul Iome. which n operated apart ,
from the spiritual ami ieeue work. "This
Institution cmbraetui a home for men,
workuhop, paper sprung and balancing ,
department, free reading- room and one )
second-hand store." The pamphlet con
tinued: "Our wagons cover thu entire city m i
eolleot: we distribute.
"To the man out of woik an oppor
