Sumuel Henderson, a tiftoon-ycar-old lad of Philadelphia, was arrested last week for murdortng a seven-year-old playmate. Henderson stubbed the boy four times und then tied two largo , stones to tho body and threw It Into tho river. He had tied another boy to a tree, presumably with the Intention of murdering him after getting through with the first boy, but tho five-year-old boy, that had been tied to tho tree, broke loose and ran homo. Henderson had threatened to kill his parents and brothers and sister. Several times his parents awoke at night and found their son standing at their bedside, Tbey become afraid and locked tholr bedroom door at night. At the inquest young Henderson admitted that ho had been reading novels In which Jesse James wag the hero, and said, "If I hadn't read these books I wouldn't have done it." Parents that don't want to be brought with sorrow to the grave had better see to it that their sons and daughters do not fill their minds with the trashy novel. Do you know whether your boy is filling his brain with Jesse James literature or not? There Is plonty of good, wholesome, interesting reading for boys and girls, and it be hooves parents t see to it that their children are provided with only pure literature. The parents of ' young Henderson are almost heartbroken now to think that their son has bis hands stained with innocent and childish blood, but If they had seen to it that the boy bad good reading matter tbey would not now oe so terribly grief-stricken.

Hoys and girls, In threo days moro tho II f t.li month of your present torm will have passed Into eternity, and wo nrn sorry to observe that many of you bnvn not heeded the many wnrnlngs nnd advices that have boon given you, but are still InitllTorniit nnd careless, taking nn thought of the future. Your actions In this respect calls to mind a littlo story of a prisoner who, being convicted of a serious crime was placed In a cell nt 0110 corner of which was' a faucet, attached to a tank on theotit.sldn of the cell. He was sentenced to dlo whenever tho water In tho tank was ex hausted. One dHy bn thoughtlessly turned tho water on anil let It spm't alsiut thu cell fur a long time, then sud denly recollecting himself, he turned It off nnd soloqiilctl In this manner: "What a fool I am. Ppon tho amount of water In thu concealed tank I he length of my llfu depends. I know not the (piantity, thorn may bo hogsheads or thorn may he hut a single gallon, and here I have thoughtlessly lieen shorten ing my life by wilfully nnd deliberately wasting It. It, may bo down to tho last pint and, If so, in a day more I must dlo. wherens I, in my fully, havn wasted cnutigh to prolong f many days." Now, boys and girls, your case Is par allel with the iiIkivc exactly. You have a certain number of years or mouths ouch one to yet. to attend sehool and ncqutro an education. Tho length of time, like thn amount of water to the unfortunate prisoner, is nn unknown iiiatitity to you, mid yet you deliberately und wil fully, (lay lifter day open the valve and allow the precious mumenls to go to nothing mid accomplish not one lota towards prolunglng your educational life. When the time has expired you die, as far as school life Is cuncerned, and when you look back nnd think over tho past yon wilkcxclaim, like the care less convict: Alas! what a fool I have been to fritter nway tho liost part of my life In idleness and now when it Is too late I am bulTottod about to and fro In tho world, helpless ami dependent. Thorn seems to bu something radically wrong with the educational machinery, hut where mid what It Is, Is difllcult to determine. The last threo months of tho present term will soon slip by and you will then wonder where tho time has gone, nnd will then sue thn folly of having wasted so much valuable time. Many of you waste too much time reading novels and trashy story papers and with other silly things, which you will deeply regret some day. Below we give you u lltto extract en titled, "Seeing tho Point." Read It carefully and rolled seriously und, like tho boy mentioned, you will bo enabled to sco whoro you stand. HKKINU TUB POINT. A boy returned from school one day with tho report that his scholarship had fallen below tho usual average And this conversation took pluce: "Sun," said his father, "you've fallen behind this month, haven't you ?" "Yes, sir." "How did that happen?" "Don't know, sir." Tho father knew If the son did not. He hud observed a number of dlmo novels scattered about tho house; but had not thought It worth whilo to say anything until a fitting opportunity should offer itself. A basket of apples stood upon the floor, and he said: "Empty out those apples, and take the basket and bring It to mo half-full of chips." ' Suspecting nothing, tho son obeyed. "And now," bo continued, "put thoso apples buck Into tho buskot." When half the apples were replaced, tho boy said: "Father they roll off. I can't put any more In." "Put them In, I tell you." "But, father, I can't put them in." "Put them in ? No, of course you can't put them in. You suld you didn't know why you fell behind at school, and I will tell you why. Your mind is llko that basket. It will not hold more than so much. And here you've been the past month filling it up with chip dirt dime novels." The boy turned on his heel, whistled, and suld: ' "Whew! I soe the point." Not a dime novel has been seen in the bouse from that day to this. JSp rrorro Jfcrahh Does It Pay to be Sick t Besides the discomfort and suffering, Illness of any sort la expensive.
