recital by the Hev. Charles Vlrdcn.
agent of the State Board of Chari
ties, to the Stnto Conference of Char
ities, held at Rock Island. His paver
was entitled "The State Visitation of
Children," and said, in part:
"During the laBt two years I have
personally handled approximately fr,0
special cases. Most of the children
are well cared for when placed In
family homeB. The had cases are
exceptions. For example, I have
found them tortured with hot lions,
stabbed with toasting forks and scis
sors, limbs broken, hair torn out by
the roots, lashed until black and blue
from head to foot, faces cut and
scarred and eyes blinded.
"Numerous other caseB of crime
against children in the form of as
sault have been prosecuted, and In
the three years of my incumbency ton
of these offenders have been sent to
the penitentiary and numerous Jail
commitments and fines have been Im
posed. Many Children Sold.
"There has been a wholesale traffic
In children in Illinois. I have a re
ceipt In my possession for a child
who had been sold for a stipulated
price.
"One of the most distressing cases
occurred In Qulncy, 111., whore a child
was taken from Its mother, a rovtUff
girl, when less than an hour old,
placed In a market basket, absolutely
nude except for a covering of an old
piece of quilt, carried about the
streets and offered to any one who
would accept It. Tho infant finally
was given to a woman who had been
a pensioner on the county for a num
ber of years.
"The evidence showed that this
was at least the second child that
had been sold from this institution.
Tho saddost part of It all Is that there
Is no law In the Stnte of Illinois pro
hibiting the sale of a child."
In speaking of other specific cases
the Rov. Mr. Virden r.ald:
"A girl of thirteen years, commit
ted by tho .luvenllo Court, was made
a household drudge. Our State agent
found that she was being boaten with
a horsewhip. The girl was removed
and placed in a good homo, where she
wns given a rhance for education and
religious training.
Din nel With Hot Knife.
"A girl, having only one paren
living, seven years old. was In the
homo of a family at Alton, 111. The
evidence showed that this child was
covered with bruiseB. Her face was
burned, her hands wero hacked with
a red hot knife and the sight of one
ra was destroyed. The foster moth
er, charged with having Inflicted these
wounds, wns fined for assault and
battery, and will bo tried under the
cruelty act.
"A girl was the victim of her step
father's attacks for ten yoars, after
she was seven years old. Her step
father was sent to tho penitentiary
and tho girl sent to a good homo.
"Two girls, aged five and ton, wero
forced to beg on the streets for their
mother, who kept a disreputable re
sort. They aro now In good homes.
"A girl thirteen years old did the
washing and Ironing for a family of
seven. She had no school advan
tage An Investigation showed that
she wore her foster mother's old
clothes and shoes; was overworked
and received no salary; that her life
was Insured In tho benefit of the
mother-in-law in the homo. The
child was returned to the home on
trial upon the cancellation of the life
Insurance policy, and promised that
she was to receive new clothes and
$2 a week. I protest against the In

"Although trade reports are some

largely to varying weather conditions
In different sections of the country
and uncertainties caused by Impend

Is toward sustained Improvement.
Country trade has been comparative

been taking advantage of the Ideal

However, the heavy marketing of
crops has made for an Increased rail

considerably, while exports of wheat
are heavy. Iron and steel are quiet.

SIGNS OF A COLD WINTER.
A Close Observer oi Nature Tells What Is Coming in the Way of Wealhet
New York Oity. There s no use
talking, It's going to be a hard win
ter, no matter 'Which Bill Is elected,"
said the wise young man who had
Just returned from his vacation In
Pike County, Pennsylvania, with a
luxuriant crop of tan and freckles.
"I forgot I ever knew so much about
the country until I got out there
again. I was born and raised In the
country, and I'm proud of It.
"How do I know it's going to bo a
hard winter? Well, here are some of
tho sure signs, and I surprised the
farmers when I sprung my knowledge
on them:
"A heavy crop of nuts. You never
saw the like of tho butternuts, hick
ory nuts and chestnuts that there are
going to be In lees than a mouth now.
"A big fruit crop and nn abundance
of wild grapes; the woods are full of
this little wild fruit of the vine, and
they will be. delicious when the frost
touches tbem.
"Heavy husks on the corn. The
fanners Bay that Is a sure sign.
"WastB and hornets building their
neBt nearer the ground than usual.
"The cricket and katydid orches
tras working overtime; that's a sure
euough indication of au early win
ter, too.
"Dame Nature is a good and
thoughtful provider for all the little
folk of tho forest and field, you
know; that's why there is such a big
crop of nuts and wild grapes and
fruit so that the squirrels, tho mice
and tho birds won't go hungry
through the long winter. I tell you
what, there Is nothing hlt-or-inlss
about the Indications I have men
tioned. All you have to bo is a close
observer of nature to know what is
coming in the way of weather."

Peril Of The (Villar Button.
A few days ago the news columns
carried the story of a man wiio was
stricken with a serious case of ver
tigo while groping under the bed
for his elusive collar button. Still
later appeared tho story of an East
ern man who wns overcome by heart
failure after a violent struggle with
a refractory button that refused to
connect a tight collar. In each of
these Instances the victim was a stout
man of full habit and presumably
of apoplectic tendency.
The collar button has been the
plaything of the flippant writers for
a long time. Its amusing pranks,
its almost human perversenesa, its
power of effacing Itself when most
wanled, have united In n striking il
lustration of the moral obliquity of
Inanimate things. But when the but
ton forgets Its harmless mission and
becomes an adjunct to tragedy, It
can no longer hope to be regarded
In an amusing light. Cleveland

that they should lot It off, adding
that nobody would bo any wiser.
They loaded the gun, and one of
them said he would hold a bucket
over the muzzle to drown the sounds
bo that they would not be hoard.
Tho gun was fired, and the shell and
bucket, with the soldier clinging to
It. went flying gayly out to sea. An
officer Immediately rushed up to the
remaining soldier to Inquire the
cause of the commotion.
"Where Is Murphy?" he yelled.
"Gone for a bucket of water, sir,"
coolly remarked the soldier.

A CURE AT CITY MISSION.
Awful Case of Scabies Body it Mass
of Sores from Scratching Her
Tortures Yield to Cutlciiin.
"A young woman came to our city mis
sion in a nipst awful condition physically.
Our doctor examined her nnd told us that
she had scabies (the itch), inripient pare
sis, rheumatism, etc., brought on from ex
posure. Her poor body was a mass of sores
frora scratching and she was not able to
retain solid food. We worked hard over
her for acven weeks but we could see little
improvement. One day I bought a take of
Cuticura Soap snd a bottle of Cuticura
Resolvent, ind we bathed our patient well
sud gave her a full dose of the Resolvent.
She slept better that night and the next
day I got n box cf Oaticnra Ointment. In
five weeks this yonag woman was able to
look for u position, -end she is now strong
and well. Lanrn .lane Bates, 85 Fifth
