DYING MAN, EH?
Brini i iff "kMKj "
Charles 'W. Morse.
"Oh, Death, where is thy sting?
Oh, Grave, where is thy victory?"

for wrecking a bank, the doctors
made affidavit that one of his feet
was" already in .the grave and it
was only a matter of days that
the xrther foot and all the rest of
Charley would, be in it also.
Therefore,, tb spare. Morse the ig
nominy of dying in prison, he
.was pardoned
And now look at-CharieyMat-est
picture. It was taken tfhen
the dying man returned fronvEu
rope the other day.

presideh't of the freight handlers'
union sent a personal messenger

freight handlers of that city and
of Minneapolis out on strike.
