LIKE JEAN VALJEAN

Boy Escapes Reformatory and Turns Over New Leaf. Youth, Now Married, Writes Mother— Superintendent of School He Escaped From Causes His Arrest and Governor Is Asked to Pardon. Denver, Colo. —Victor Hugo’s story of Jean Valjean in “Les Miserables” is duplicated in many of the circumstances surrounding an eighteen-year-old Colorado boy who three years ago ran away from the industrial school at Golden, worked himself into a good position and then, a year after he had been married to a Des MolnJl, lowa, girl, found his past rising behind him. relentless as Hugo’s Inspector Javert. Six years ago Rosie E. Sheldon’s father died at Glenwood Springs. A. year later the boy was sent to the industrial school for boys at Golden as incorrigible. The intervening year the mother had lost all control over him and it was at her request that he was taken in charge by the state. The state made a poor job of reforming Sheldon. Its method of curing high spirits did not succeed,'and Sheldon ran away. The first few times he ran away he was caught and brought back. Early in 1910 he managed to slip away and stay lost The officers looked for him a few weeks and then gave up the search, although they did not forget , Sheldon went to Des Moines, lowa, and there started out to do what the big state of Colorado had not been able to do. He started out to reform himself.

He got a job in the big Cownle glove factory at $lO a week, commenced to save his money and to go to night school. Before long his salary was raised, and then pretty soon it was raised again, and he was given a responsible position. A little more than a year ago he met and fell in love with the daughter of a Des Moines business man. The two were married and started housekeeping. Sheldon was so happy that he wrote to his mother in Denver to tell her about his wife and the baby bad just come. He told her the new name he had taken when he ran away from the reform school. The mother told some of her friends, Sheldon’s younger brother, now in the school, heard where his brother was, and through some of these sources Superintendent Fred L. Paddleford of the industrial school board heard where his runaway had gone.

It was not long thereafter that Chief of Detectives Johnson of Des Moines arrested Sheldon and took him to jail. Sheldon told the story to the detective and begged to be released. Dispatches that carried the story did not state whether the detective had ever heard of Jean Valjean and the good bishop, but it is in the role of the bishop that Detective Johnson figures from now on.

He promised the boy that although he couldn’t let him go he would take an appeal direct to the governor of Colorado and ask him to grant a pardon to the runaway boy who had made good. Governor Shaforth said that he would act in the case as soon as ft was officially called to his attention and would take whatever action the facts might warrant Superintendent Fred L. Paddleford of the school declared that the boy must be returned to the school “for the sake of discipline.”

"The fact that Sheldon is married and apparently doing all right npw can’t be taken as any excuse,” the superintendent said. “The only way we have to preserve order here and to

prevent the boys running away whenever they get tired of staying is to make severe example of them when they are “If Sheldon were made an exception the chances are that all the boys would plan to run away and get married”

PLAN TO SEE WHITE ESKIMOS

Rev. W. H. Fry and Party of Natives to Vlqflt Strange Tribe Discovered, by Steffansson. Edmonton, Alberta.—Bishop Stringer of the Yukon diocese, the largest in the dominion, who is returning to his post in the north country, announced that Rev W. H. Fry and 12 natives are on the way to Coronation Gulf, near the mouth of the Copper Mine river, to visit a tribe of white Eskimos discovered by Steffansson, an explorer. It is expected that the party will reach the gulf next October, before the close of navigation. The bishop has no doubt there are other tribes of Eskimos in the far north. He was stationed on Herschell island seven years and has been as far north as 73 degrees latitude on a whaling trip. At times the thermometer registered 69 below. He has also visited many hitherto unknown places in northern Canada, suffering hardships and endangering his life on numerous occasions.

NEW YORK CAPITAL OF VICE

Complalnt by Foreigners on New Insurance Levy—Workers Especially Feel Burden. Berlin. —Foreigners employed in Berlin and other German cities whose salary or income is >IOO a month or less are bitterly over the new government insurance law which went in effect the first of the year. This new law suspends all private sick insurance, which is replaced with a government Insurance system. It is compulsory on foreigners residing in the empire as well as on Germans. So far as foreigners are concerned. It affects principally teachers, governesses, office employes, etc. The annual cost varies from >5 a year for those whose salary does not exceed >125 a year to >7B annual premium for those whose salary is between >BO and >IOO a month. The law provides that half of the cost of insurance must be paid by the employer and half by the insured. As a salary of >IOO a month also calls for an' annual income tax of >7O, such an employe is compelled to pay >9 a month for tax and insurance. Should the insured leave Germany permanently during the first ten years he has no claim for the return of premiums paid and loses his rights to benefits under the act. As the majority of foreigners remain only two or three years, coming largely for the purpose of studying, few will have claims on the premiums paid. Only such persons as were insured in foreign Insurance companies doing business in Germany are exempted from the provisions of the law. There Is but one American company doing business in Germany.

RESENT TAX IN GERMANY

officially connected with .the department of justice at Washington, has laid before the aldermanic committee which is investigating police conditions here the result of his seven years’ study of the white slave traffic. He called New York the capital of commercialised vice and said that, with the assistance of fourteen agents placed at his disposal by the government. he had carried on investigations "from Fairbanks in Alaska to the canal zone.”

Mr. London declared that his census in New York revealed that there were 6,100 men profiting from commercialized vice, in which 26,000 women were involved? He charged that the police officials aided the traffickers. He believed that only individual policemen were concerned in the business and doubted that the number of these officers would exceed 100 out of 10 000 men on the force.

FINGER PRINT IS OUTDONE

Accused Burglar Comes to Grief In France When Imprint of Tooth In Butter Is Viewed. Paris. —Even the finger-print method of obtaining evidence against criminals has been excelled by the police in establishing a burglar’s identity from the tooth marks which he left in a pat of butter. Pierre Bassaud, field on a charge of burglary, broke into his former employer’s premises at Montreull-Sous-Bois. Failing to discover any valuables, he went to the kitchen and had a feast. When arrested he denied the charge, but the police found the marks of his teeth, including one which was broken, exactly reproduced in a lump of butter into which he had probably bitten by mistake in the dark. Bassaud still protested his innocence, but when the magistrate before whom he was arraigned, sent for some butter and made the prisoner bite into it, the same irregular impression was obtained.

FALLS OFF TRAIN; IS LUCKY

St Louis Orphan Lad Has an Extraordinary Experience on Kansas Railroad. Strong City, Kan. —When Harry O’Brien, a fourteen-year-old orphan from St. Louis, tumbled from the blind baggage of a train running at a thirty mile an hour clip here, he did not know that he was dropping into a home where he would be cherished and loved. Charles Beach, city marshal here, picked O’Brien up, bruised and bleeding, and took him to his bouse to give him care. So attached did Marshal Beach and his wife be come to the boy that they decided to keep him, and announced that they probably would- adopt him. O'Brien, with a companion, Ernest Stone, was beating his way to Tulsa, Okla., where Stone’s grandmother lives. Stone, who was.not hurt, continued the journey to Tulsa on a ticket purchased for him by merchants.

Fuller's Earth.

Fuller’s earth, so named from its earliest use In fulling wool, is a rather rare, soft, friable rock whose value depends altogether on Its texture and Its filtering and absorbent properties. It has no definite composition, mineralogically, its physical properties rather than a chemical analysis determining Its commercial value. Fuller’s earth was first produced in the United States in the early ’nineties.
