years. Frank H. Haynes struck hla
head against the bedpost and recov
ered his sight. He had been totally
blind and had to be led about. Now his
vision is clear
"I can’t attribute it to anything but a

The first thing Haynes saw after get

To Have Smooth, White,
Soft Skin All Winter
Does your skin chap or roughen eas
ily in this weather, or become unduly
red or blotchy? Let me tell you a
quick, easy way to overcome the trou
ble and keep your complexion beautiful
ly white, smooth and soft the winter
Jong. Just get an ouhce of ordinary
mercolized wax at the nearest drug
store and use a little before retiring,
as you would cold cream. Upon aris
ing. remove the coating with sudsy
water. The wax, through 9ome peculiar
attribute, flecks off the rough, discol
ored or blemished skin The worn-out
cuticle comes off Just like dandruff on
a diseased scalp, only ini almost invis
ible particles. Mercolized wax simply
hastens Nature’s work. Used as re
quired. It keeps the face constantly
free from devitalized scarf skin and
only the healthy, young-looking skin
is in evidence. It's the best treatment
known for weather-beaten, aged, muddy,
freckled, pimpled and all unbeautiful
com piexions.
Some skins wrink’e easily in winter.

Mother of Slain Youth Calls the
Verdict “a Travesty Upon
Justice.”

want everything to be exactly ns it
was before this tragedy. I want no
shadows—no remorse.
"Has my daughter forgiven me?
What do you mean? What has she
to forgive? Our relations are most
loving. She does everything I want
her to. She always w r as a most obe
dient child—quiet, unexpressive, but
with a sweet disposition. I could not
understand her disobeying us the way
she did by going with this bey and
marrying him in view’ of our ex
pressed objections. But now that is
all over, and she Is again our sweet,
loving daughter.”
All Her Spirit Crushed Out.
Although his daughter waa highly
nervous, Cleary permitted the re
porter to talk with tier. Weak and
trembling, she lav on her bed, where
she had thrown herself, without stop
ping to remove her clothes, after the
physician’s visit. Her dark brown
hair was disheveled and the extreme
pallor of her cheeks brought out In
startling relief the deep, dark shadows
under her eyes.
Only six weeks had passed since the
same reporter had talked with Mrs.
Newman and heard her hurl defiance
at her father and all concerned In the
case.
”1 had a right to choose my own
husband and manner of living,” she
cried at that time. ’’Parents make
the mistake of thinking they can do
no wrong and think their children
must do as they tell them, whereas
the children often can see things far
more clearly than the parents and
often know what is best for their
own happiness.”
Spirit Is Crushed.
But that spirit has been completely
crushed. In a pitifully weak voice
she sent a warning to all girls to
obey their parents. Only once did she
show the slowest sign of spirit. That
was when she said. ”1 loved my hus
band with all my heart, and 1 assume
all responsibility for my acts.”
Mrs. Jessie Appleton, mother of the
slain youth, indignantly said in her
home at No. 957 St. Nicholas avenue
that the verdict was a travesty on
justice.
”1 can not understand where w’e are
all drifting, when men and women
are allowed to commit murder and
then go unpunished," said Mrs. Ap
pleton "That was not a fair trial.
Everything that could be done to fa
vor Cleary was done. My son’s grand
mother, Mra Kennedy, and I were
not allowed to tell on the stand how
Gene telephoned to Mrs Cleary on the
day he was murdered to arrange for
an interview with Anna’s father. We
heard him say to her. Does Cleary
know all?’ and Gene told v hor reply
was, *1 have told him everything; go
down to his office at once. He Is
waiting for you.’
Evidenoe Barred.
’’They would not allow us to tell
this. They said a telephone conver
sation was not evidence, but I notice
they never questioned Mrs. Cleary
about It. Mrs. Cleary told an untruth
when she said she did not know Gene
and Anna were keeping company. She
has been in my apartment dozens of
times w’hen they were here, and often
accompanied them to the matinee. I
must admit that I can not understand
the reason of Cleary’s hatred of my
son."
Enjoys His First
Shave at 76 Years
WIUtflNGTON. PEL., Pee. 36—"This
is the first time I have been shaved in
76 years; In fact, the first time in my
life,” was the surprising announcement
of a man in Abraham Hlndln’s tonso-
rlal parlors. He said he was Morton
Smith, of Harrington. He had a fine,
long, luxuriant beard, snow* white, and
as the barber’s hand deftly glided over
his face he continued:
"Yes, this is the first time a razor
has ever touched my face, and Jt is a
strange experience for me.”
"Poes the razor pull?" asked the so
licitous barber.
Smith did not know whether it did
or not.
After the operation he remarked that
he felt much better and intended to
have another shave soon.
Most Wasteful City
Of Union Is Chicago
CHICAGO, Pec. 26.—This city quali
fies as the most wasteful in the United
States In a report made bv Walter G.
Lelnlnger, superintendent of streets, fol-
lowlag an exhaustive analysis of the city
refuse The relative number of pounds
per cubic yard which might be salvaged
was 447, as compared with 212 for Bos
ton and 143 for New York, and a much
smaller amount for numerous minor
cities.
The quantity of garbage and ashes was
small in the business and manufacturing
group, and stable waste and c al was
highest in the apartments occupied by
the wealthy. In the modest residence
and small neighborhoods the waste
was smallest.
Girl Cashier, Clinging to Coat-
Tails, Aids Capture in a
Childs Restaurant.
NEW YORK, Dec. 26.—A revolving
«torm door, with a fat man lodged in
one compartment, and a tiny girl
cashier, yesterday afternoon foiled a
daring $2,500 holdup In Childs’ res
taurant. No. 108 West Thirty-fourth
street.
The restaurant Is patronized by
many commuters and theatrical folk,
and at 5 o’clock practically every seat
was taken. Waitresses In white frocks
were scurrying over the tile floor at
breakneck speed, the man In the front
window was tossing wheat cakes with
unerring accuracy. Behind the cash
ier’s desk sat Anna Burke balancing
up the day’s receipts and counting
$2,1500 into a small drawer from the
safe on the desk before her.
Thief Is Dapper.
Through the revolving door walked
a dapper little fellow who is now
locked up In the West Thirtieth streetj
station, and who gives his name as
David Murray, an actor.
He wandered nonchalantly over to
the cashier’s def k. He stood idly by
for a moment and then quietly picked
up the drawer full of money and
started toward the door.
Miss Burke screamed "Thief!
Thief! Stop him 1 ” and vaulted over
the railing which hedges In her desk
from the rest of the room. Manager
Schwab leaped forward, and the man
in white dropped a wheat cake to Join
in the chase.
Within three feet of the door Miss
Burke seized Murray by the coat
tails. He struggled with her, hanging
on and crying at the top of her voice,
much to the excitement of the hun
dreds in the restaurant.
Avoirdupois to Rescue*
When he reached the revolving
door Murray found trouble In getting
himself and the cash drawer into the
same section, and Miss Burke’s per
sistency in clinging to his coat-tails
made the task even more difficult. He
might have escaped, however, had not
a fat man wished to enter just as he
desired to exit.
The fat man saw what was going
on. So he moved the door a few
inches, and with himself a prisoner in
one side and Murray a prisoner in the
other, refused to budge until Patrol
man Cunningham had been called.
When the cash drawer was placed
back in the safe not a penny had van
ished. When Murray was examined
by detectives it was stated that he
had been "picked up" a week ago
while trying to pawn some Jewelry.
Blames Parents for
Present-Day Styles
AUBURN N Deo. 26—Following
are some of the indictments made in an
address by Superintendent Henry D.
Hervey against school girls who "ex
pose their bodies through present
styles.”
"Parents send their daughters to
school so immodestly exposed that they
prove a moral menace to the youth of
our city.
"The styles through which we are
passing have In many instances been
little less than scandalous.
"If mothers knew how this thing is
viewed by clean young fellows who want
to be decent it would lead to a rude
awakening."
FOR BIEESTATE
St. Louis Woman Shows 52 Let
ters From Col. W. B. Hayes to
Prove $200,000 Claim.
SAN JOSE, D*e. 26,—B«tw*«n No-
vember 27, 1910, and January 6, 1911,
while pr6tty Vivian Mitchell, a society
girl of St. Lewis, waa 22 years old.
Colonel William B. Hayes, globe-trot
ter and N.ow York stock broker, who
at that time was nearly 70 years of
age, wrote her 52 love letters.
Securely bound together with cord
and sealed with wax, these 52 letters
were presented to the Superior Court
of Santa Clara County at the trial of
a suit of Mrs. Vivian Mitchell Hayes
to establish that she is the lawful
wife of Colonel Hayes.
Contesting this action, and herself
trying to prove that she rightfully
maintained the position of wife to the
eccentrio globe-trotter, is Mrs. Anita
K. Hayes, a woman nearly 40 years
of age, with a son past 10 years old.
Has Marriage Certificates.
These letters, which the young Mn.
Hayes admitted on the witness stand
contained all the protestations of love
and affection with which Colonel
Hayes showered her following their
first meeting at the American Hotel
in &L Louis, presented a formidable
looking package.
On these letters and a marriage
certificate signed by the Rev. Father
John O’Shannahan, of the Church of
the Immaculate Conception in New
Orleans, January 5, 1911, Mrs. Hayee
No. 2 is basing her claim to the estate
of nearly $200,000 which Colonel Hayes
left when he died in San Jose at the
St. James Hotel February 14, 1912.
Widow First to Testify.
Mrs. Vivian Hayes was the first
witness called to testify after the Jury
was selected. She said her home was
at present in San Francisco, but that
she formerly lived in St Louis. She
met Colonel William Beasly Hayes, a
wealthy tourist, in the lobby of the
American Hotel, in St. Louis, Novem
ber 27, 1910.
Mrs. Hayes testified on cross-exam
ination that before leaving St. Louis
Colonel Hayes took both her and her
mother to a vault in the American
Trust Company Building to show
them an exhibit of curiosities gath
ered In various parts of the world.
During all this time Colonel Hayes
pleaded with her, she says, to marry
him. He attempted to move her mind
by flattery and gifts, "the powerful
bribes of love,” she testified, but she
did not finally accept him until some
months later.
The marriage between Colonel
Hayes and Miss Mitchell took place
in New Orleans, and they lived to
gether one month.

Canton.
"In addition to the red hair In my

fighter’s first trip since 1868, when it

73-year-old policeman candidate C>*
Mayor In that city.
Mr*. Perry vows the* she will
"clean up politic®’’ In Somerville.
Here’s how she has started out!
First, she sought a candidate fo»
Mayor, and In this respect did no*
have to go beyond her own hearth

Then followed a personal canvets*
of all, the women in Somerville, wltlj
marked success.
"And what chance have the othe®
candidates when oil the women are

Mrs. Perry was "driven" tn$o poli
tics, she says, when her husbamV
Captain Robert R. Perry, was pens*
eloned from the Somerville polloe de
partment against his will after ®ert>«
ing the city for more than 40 years*
Captain Perry, although 73, object*

Unwilling Pensioner,
Only a few months before ha wad
put on the pension list Captain Per-
ry asked for an afternoon off, and th®
next thing his comrades in the police

that he had married Miss Josephine
Neal, aged 37.
"I am not a suffragist," was th®
announcement Mrs. Perry made, "t
don’t thing it Is necessary for women
to have the ballot in order to becom®
a factor In politics. But I am not
afraid of all the politician® In Som

THE MINISTRY OF FLOWERS.
At this time of the year, between
seasons, the following beautiful senti
ment, clipped from The Philadelphia
Public Ledger, is very appropriate:
"The world was begun, for good
reason, in a garden. The ministry of
flowers Is older than that of any other
speaking tongues. They have come
to be inseparable from festivities of
Joy and occasions of mourning. They
are to the visible world what music is
among sounds. The soul has need of
them as the body demands to be fed,
and next to the human personality
there Is naught like them to create an
atmosphere.
"It is not possible to prove that a
man Is less of a man because he
cares to have a rose in a bowl beside
him. If God. a® Bacon says, was the
first gardener, need a man be ashamed
of caring a great deal for flowers;
It is as absurd to call a man effemi
nate for that as it would be to think
that a woman denies feminine at
tributes when she runs a motor car
or studies stenography or does any
thing else that used to be the virile
monopoly. It is time toj^d ourselves
of certain supersitions. and to find
that it is possible for a man to play
the violoncello and to be a good en
gineer, to paint a picture and at the
5»ame time to run a bank, to be versed
in poetry and efficiently manage &
street railway company. In the same
way a woman can to the good of her
soul reach far out of the mid-Vic
torian realm to which Mrs. Grundy
consigned her to ‘talk the talk of
men,’ to share men’® Interests and
work—or play—beside them in an in
telligent copartnership of thinking
and feeling.
“Even the tramps of the vegetable
world are crowned with a kind of
glory. Nature Is prodigal of beauty
in waste places. She holds the tri
umphal durbars of her sunsets even
over deserts and gray solitudes of
ocean when there is none to see. So
she carries to the heart of a primeval
forest her orchids or her ferns to
dwell 'In deep retreats whose veil is
unremoved.’ No cunning hand of
workman long ago in a dim cathedral
corner ever wrought so patiently, so
perfectly, on what perhaps no man
would ever see.
"When we consider the lilies of the
field we mourn sometimes that they
must die so soon—that only to-night
they lift in the suffusing quiet of the
moon their blanching countenances,
and their lives outbreathe in fra
grance on the delicious air only a
little longer than the moth’s career.
But the life of any flower 1® not ehs-
cumscrlbed by the plot where it hi
grown, or the vn.se that holds It- I*
enters Imperceptibly Into the live® ol
those who have anything to do wit*
it, from its first struggle through the
the mold of Its proud culmination of
sepal and petal and something more*
"Flowers are the only tanrlble crea
tures that can move on the soft,
noiseless feet of intangibility Into
hallowed places which no ra®h In
truder may profane. If they mean a
thought, instead of a mere order to
the florist, they may become eloquent,
like the face of a dog. For such a
floral presence is not mute.
"It is not mere sentimental twad
dle, this assertion of the influence of
flowers brought in kind hands to suf
ferers in hospital. Forsooth, It is not
a ‘practical’ gift. Neither was th®
alabaster box that Mary broke. When
shall we outgrow thl® dreary, stultfe
fvlng habit of referring everything to
the gTimly utilitarian scale of val
ues? May I not love my white and
purple larkspur, my gladioli or my
foxgloves or my roses, without think
ing what these would bring if they
were sold? ‘If I had but one coin
left in my purse,’ said the old Arat^
‘I would buy Toses, for they would
feed mv soul.’ "
