IN RE MR. HOOTON.

They are having quite a time over

in Indianapolis. A young fellow nam

ed Mooton, after a practice of law for two years obtained the office of prose

cuting attorney. Now comes Judge

ritchard of the criminal court before

the common council to urge that

funds be appropriated for the employ

ment of "help" for Hooton although

the prosecutor's office is worth $15,000 to $20,000.

The practice of making the prosecuting attorneyship a place for young

men has both its good points and its

drawbacks. The good points are that a young man has enthusiasm and a

reputation to make for himself which will make him an agresslve factor in

protecting the Interest of the county

On the other hand a young man as in this case Is apt to be Inexperienced and he often has to meet the most cunning and astute of the legal pro

fession In important cases. That is

the rule.

One of the foremost members of the

Wayne county bar once said: "The custom of giving the position of prosecuting attorney to young and inei- . perlenced lawyers is fne of the farces of our judicial system. The county should have for its prosecutor a man fully equal to all emergencies and to be able to cope with any man employed against him." As in all other cases the question

of compensation is at the bottom. of the case. Even our own prosecutor. Mr. Jessup, came out with a statement not long since, showing that the compensation was uncertain and unfair, especially. in the case of witnesses and traveling expenses. ' i There is one thing which is appar- j nt to alL The prosecutor like every j

tion of age has nothing to do with it provided the man is competent The chances are that experience will be found in older men. But older men must be paid. As for young men as lawyers there have been many capable ones. The mest conspicuous figure was Henry Clay who was as a young lawyer so successful that it was said that no murdsrer- ever defended by Clay was ever sentenced to death. i

"But he was equally successful in

the opposite direction," says Carl

Schurg, his biographer, when acting as public prosecutor.

And so it goes youth or experience it all depends on the man. A man

cannot be judged like a horse by looking in his mouth to see how old hel s.

But if Hooton can't hold down his job

ha would better part with part of his salary for "help" instead of petitioning to the county council of Marion county.

CHAFTER II.

N Friday evening, March 10, a

thunderstorm of unusual violence broke over London. It was notably peculiar in cer

tain of Its aspects. The weather was cold and showery, a typical day of the March equinox. Under such conditions barometric pressure remains fixed rather than variable, yet many whose business or hobby it is to record such facts observed a rapid shrinkage of the mercury column between the hours of G and 7. A deluge of rain fell for many minutes and was followed about 7:30 p. m. by a mad turmoil of thunder and an astounding electrical display not often witnessed beyond the confines of the giant mountain ranges of the world. So violent and unnerving was the

a hospital. Then came Grenfell, missionary, teacher, magistrate and phy

sician. And the country took on a new life and was regenerated, body, maid and soul. On July 24 Dr. Grenfell started out for the summer trip. Two days later the "Strathcona" fought her way into Indian Harbor in

blinding gale. The following day

she gave succor to the distressed fishing fleet for two hundred miles along the coast. At Holton Harbor two schooners were pulled off the rocks. Thirty miles farther north the doctor and his men pulled four more wrecks off the stranded shoals. Next they rescuer sixty marooned sailors.

Such men as Dr. Grenfell restore

A Clever Woman.

"Good morning Mrs. Howell, why are you not washing this morning, it is now ten o'clock." "Why, Mrs. Ross, since I commenced to use Easy Task Soap I am always through with my wasing by nine-thirty in the morning. Take my advice, use Easy Task and you will not have to put in all day breaking your back over the wash tub."

ious to get away from offices and shops, those eager alike to enter and leave the charmed circle of the four mile radius, were ruthlessly bidden to wait while the awesome forces of nature made mad racket In the streets. AH horseflesh was afraid. The drivers of cabs and omnibuses were unable to make progress. They bad sufficient ado to restrain their maddened animals from adding the havoc of blind charges through the streets to the general confusion caused by the warring elements. Telegraph and telephone wires became not only useless, but dangerous, and the suburban train eervice was consequently plunged into a tangle from which it was not extricated until midnight So general was the confusion, so widespread the public alarm, that the sudden cessation of the uproar at 8 o'clock caused more prayers of thankfulness to be uttered in the metropolis

WHEAT MOVEMENT EABLHHIS YEAR Crop of the Northwest Has Started.

St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 14. According to the general freight agents of the Northern railroad which runs through the wheat belt of the northwest the wheat crop movement has just started and is from two to three weeks earlier than last year.

ATTEND jPA BODY. The members of the Young Men's Institute attendee the early services at the St. Andrew's church and went to communion in a body yesterday.

A boy ran forward to offer his services at the carriage door. than had been heard for many a day. But worse remained. Thus far the lightning had been appalling, brilliantly lurid, but harmless. At 10 o'clock the storm raged again, this time without the preliminary downfall of rain, and the lightning, though less sensational in appearance, was demoniac in effect, levying a toll on human lives, causing fires and general damage to property, accounts of which filled many columns of the newspapers next morning. This second outburst was succeeded by heavy and continuous rain. At the hour when the theaters emptied their diminishing audiences Into the streets London wore its normal rain sodden aspect. It was not until the, following day that people fully understood the magnitude and terrifying results of the later display. About a quarter to 8, while the first storm was at its height, a carriage and pair dashed into a fashionable West End square and pulled up outside a mansion cast in the stereotyped mold of the early Victorian period. The horses, overfed and underworked, had been rendered frantic by the drive through the park from the farther west. Fortunately, they knew this halting place, or the coachman would never have succeeded in stopping them. As it was, they sweated white with fear, and the footman, shouting to the occupants of the carriage that he could not attend to the door, ran to their heads after giving a vigorous tug at the house bell. A boy, tall and thin, and scantily attired for such weather, who had taken Bhelter in the dark portico of the mansion, ran forward to offer his services at the carriage door. A bundle of evening papers, covered with a piece of sacking, somewhat Impeded the use of his left hand. and. "as it happened In his right he held a large bun on which he had Just commenced to dine. Before he could turn the handle the carriage door opened from the Inside. A mat. sprang out. "Get cut of the way. he said im

patiently, and the newsboy obeyed, glad that he had not followed his first impulse and flung away the bun. A vivid flash of lightning made the horses rear and plunge. "Look sharp. Elf!" cried the stranger in no more cordial tone. "Gather your wraps and jump out. On a night like this thftse nervous brutes" A peal of thunder that rattled the windows Interrupted him. The two animals reared and backed with one accord. The plucky footman, hanging on to the crossbars of the bits, was lifted off his feet and banged violently against the pole. He was forced to let go and fell, staggering backward some yards before he dropped. There, was a smash of iron and wood, and- the near hiud wheel of the carriage Jam

med against the curb. A slight scream came from the interior. Certain that the vehicle would turn over instantly, the man who had alighted slammed the door and sprang clear. In doing so he tripped over the newsboy and fell heavily on the pavement. The boy, quicker to note that the breaking of the pole had given a momentary respite, rushed into the roadway, throwing away both precious bun and still more precious stock of unsold papers. He wrenched the other door open and shouted: "This way, madam. Quick!" "Madam" was quick. She sprang right into his arms and proved to be a girl of twelve or thereabouts, dressed all in white and wrapped in an ermine cloak. Over went the carriage with a fearful crash. The coachman managed to jump from the box Into the roadway. He retained the reins and whip in bis grasp and now, losing his temper, lashed the struggling horses savagely. This cowed them, and they ceased their antics. The boy and the girl found themselves standing on the sidewalk close to the ruined vehicle. "You have saved my life!" said the girl sweetly and without any trace of the nervousness which might naturally be expected after such a narrow escape from a serious accident. The boy noted that her eyes were large and blue, that she wore a great shining ornament In her hair and that Bhe appeared to be dressed in somewhat fanciful manner, though the big cloak she wore concealed the details. The door of the mansion opened, and servants came running out. Suddenly the boy received ft violent blow on the side of the head. "Confound you!" shouted the man who had fallen on the pavement, "why didn't you get out of the way when I told you T The boy, astounded by such recognition of his timely help, made no reply, but the girl protested vehemently. "Oh, uncle," she cried, "why did you strike him? He got me out of the carriage Just before it turned over. He did. Indeed!" Another vivid flash of lightning illumined the scene. It lit up the group with startling brilliancy. The boy, still somewhat shaken by the vicious blow, was nevertheless able to see clearly the pale, handsome, but dissipated features of his enraged assailant, whose evening dress and immaculate linen were soiled by the black mud of the pavement. The girl, dainty and fairy like, a little maid of aristocratic type, and of a beauty that promised much in later years, was distressed now and almost tearful. Through the crowd of frightened servants, augmented by a few daring pedestrians, a burly policeman, gigantic In waterproof overalls, was advancing with official bluster. "What has happened?" he demanded. "Is anybody hurt?" The man answered: "My horses were startled by the

storm. I jumped out and was endeavoring to extricate my niece when I this wretched boy got in the way." "Uncle." protested the girl, "you closed the door on me, and the boy" "Shut up!" he growled curtly. "Go Inside the bouse!" But his niece shared with him at least one characteristic. She possessed the family temper. j "I will not go away and let you say things which are not true. Listen to ' me, Mr. Policeman. Lord Vanstone did close the door because he thought the carriage would turn over on top of him. For some reason the accident did not happen Immediately, and the boy ran round to the other side and helped me out Just in time." "Confound the brat! 1 think he was the real cause of the whole affair. Why was he hiding in my doorway?" Lord Vanstone was more enraged than ever by the girl's obstinate defense of her rescuer and her insistence on his own seeming cowardice. "I was not hiding. I only took shelter from the storm. I tried to help you because the footman was struggling with the horses. I do not claim any credit for simply opening a door and helping the yo"n? lady to alight, but I lost both my dinner and my papers in doing so." Every one experienced a shock of

Iicl Iiterestt MaifeW In Great Want Ad Contest The great interest taken by the boys and girls in the Palladium and Sun-Telegram Want Ad Contest has demonstrated throughout what the little tots can do. When you give the little boy or girl who calls at your door a want ad, you are helping he or she to win a handsome prize. If you can not think of anything to advertise at the time, ask the boy or girl for one of his cards and a Classified Blank, fill it out, bring to our office and it will mean much for the little contestant. Our Want Ads give greater results than any other paper in Richmond. When you consider that for a few pennies you can place an advertisement in the homes of over 5,000 families and thus, counting five to a family, the paper is read daily by over 25,000 people, the results must necessarily be greater than our charge of one cent per word would lead one to think.

Resolve to call at each house or store in your district; your work will be liberally rewarded and you will receive advertisements enough to increase your vote considerably. If your name appears below and you are not credited with the largest number of votes in your district, make an effort today to bring to our office at least one ad and if you are willing to work, we have no doubt but that it will be possible for you to brinig at least one advertisement to our office each day during the remainder of the contest. If this is done, you will stand a very good show of winning the handsome prize which will be given in each district in which a contest is carried on. Remember, the contestant credited with the first $1 0.00 worth of ads receives a commission of 50 per cent or a prize of $5.00 for their efforts. This contest is not necessarily a small child's contest. Any boy or girl in school, in high school, or even in college, can participate. The older the contestant is, the greater their chances for success. The art of "want ad" soliciting is a business to which many men devote years of study and naturally the contestant experiences some set-backs. The way to win out in anything you undertake is to remember and act upon the old maxim, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again," and it is just such boys and girls as this who are rewarded with success, not only in their first undertaking, but in their after life of business, so let us all make a new start today with the determination not only to be the successful one in this contest, but to make it a success in every undertaking in life. There is still an opportunity for anyone to enter the contest in the districts below and if the proper amount of energy is displayed in soliciting want ads there is a splendid chance for the last one entering to be the one to win out at the end. Anyone wishing to enter the contest now is entitled to 200 votes for the first ad brought t6 this office. Below is set forth the standing of the contestants in their respective districts

Burprrse at hearing the boys elegant diction. The policeman was puzzled. He instantly understood the farts, but dared not browbeat an earl. "You do not bring any charge against him, my lord?" he said. But his lordship deigned no reply, ne told the coachman to arrange for the removal of the carriage, grasped his niece by the -arm and led her, still protesting, Into the bouse. The policeman saw the bundle of papers scattered over the roadway and near them the partly eaten bun. After i wrench at his garments he produced a penny. "Here," he said to the boy. "Buy snother bun and be off. It's a good lob for you the young lady spoke up the way she did." "She merely told the truth. That man was a liar." Refusing the proffered penny, the boy turned on his heeL The policeman looked after him. "That's ft queer kid," he thought. "Talked like a regular young gent. I wonder why he Is sellinz papers. Poor

lad! He lost ft bob's worth at least, , and small thanks he got for It." j Passing out of the square by the ' first eastward street, Philip Anson, with his head erect and hands clinched in his pockets, strode onward at ft rapid pace. The lightning was less frequent now, and the thunder was dying away In sullen rumblings. He was wet and hungry, yet, although he

had three halfpence, the remaining balance of the only sales effected-that evening, he passed many shops where he could have bought food. In Ficcadilly, where the cessation of the storm created a rush of traffic, he was nearly run over by reason of his own carelessness and received ft 6lash from a whip, accompanied by a loud oath from an angry cabman. He shivered, but never even looked around. Crossing Trafalgar square, he plunged through the vortex of vehicles without troubling to avoid them in the slightest degree. Once the hot breath of a pair of van horses touched bl cielk while a soecih'is drirer xheva

back onto their' haunches. Again, the off wheel of an omnibus actually grazed his heel as he sped behind the statue of Charles I. At last he reached the comparative seclusion of the Embankment and stood for a moment to gaze fixedly at the swirling, glinting river. "Not here," he muttered aloud. "I must be nearer to mother dear old mother! She Is there waiting for me." He trudged steadily away through Queen Victoria street, Cornhill, Leadenhall street and so on to Johnson's Mews, in the Mile End road. Pausing at a marine store deaWr'a shop kept by an army pensioner, an Irishman, with whom ho had a slight acquaintance, he entered. An elderly man was laboriously reading a paper of the preceding day's date. "Good evening, Mr. O'Brien," he said. "Can you oblige me with a piece of rope? I want ft strong piece about three or four yards in length. I can only spare three halfpence." "Falx, I dunno. They use nails on the crates mostly nowadays. If I have a bit It's at yer sarvlce. I wouldn't be afther chargin' the likes o' you." Philip's story was known In that humble locality, and the old soldier sympathized with the boy. "He baa rale spunk an' no mistake." was bis verdict when others said Philip was prond and overbearing. O'Brien moved rbeumatlcalty about the squalid shop. At last he found some portion of a clothesline. "Will that do?" he Inquired. Philip tested It with vigorous pulling against his knee. "Excellently," he said. "Let me pay you for it" "Arrah. go away wld ye! And, be the powers. Isn't the poor lad cowld an famished? Luke here. now. In five minutes I'm goin' to have a cup o' taj." "I am awfully obliged to yon. but I could not touch a morsel. I am in a hurry."
