Have You Had Any
REAL Baked Beana
the Laat Few Days?
Why bake beans when you can buy them much better In
quality than yourself can prepare them—no reflection on
your ability as a cook.
Nutriment, economy and convenience can all be found In
Campbell's Baked Beans, they are unlike others. They are actu-
ally baked. Most beans are steam boiled and not baked or boiled
and then baked. In boiling the Leans loses much of its value,
also makes them more or less watery which causes much of the
flavor to be lost.
Campbell's Baked Beans are rich arid mealy with all the orig-
inal goodness in them.
In order to satisfy all tastes we have them in three different
styles.
Baked Beans and Tomato Sauce, they are a most palatable
article, we have them in two sized cans at 10c and 15c.
You should have a number of these varieties on hand in
case of emergency. Buy them in dozen lots and save money. _

Boston, Mass., Sept. 7.—After hav-
ing spent thirly-flve years of his life
in a solitary cell of "Cherry Hill," the
stronghold of Charlestown Bute pri-
son where the life prisoners are con-
fined, Jesse Pomeroy, the most notor-
ious ot these life prisoners today en-
tered upon his thirty-sixth year of
solitary confinement. When Jesse
Pomeroy entered the prison cell
thirty-live years age he was a youth
of about sixteen years; he is now
titty-one, and notwithstanding the
vigor of his confinement which was
interrupted but for a short period dur-
ing the present year, seems strong,
healthy and vigorous physically as
well as mentally.
During the latter part of 1871 und
the beginning of 1872 a series of bes-
tial and indescribably cruel crimes
perpetrated upon little boys of tender
age created a perfect panic in South
Boston and Chelsea. In every one
of the cases the little victim was ,en-
ticed to some lonely spot by a boy of
about twelve or fourteen years, strip-
,ped, tied to a tree or board and then
unmercifully beaten and tortured by
him. It was many months before the
police obtained the first clue to the
perpetrator of these crimes. Infor-
mation given by one of the young vic-
tims led to the arrest of Jesse Pome-
roy, the son of a poor but respectable
dressmaker.
Jesse Pomeroy at first denied his
guilt, but after he had been confront-
ed with several of his victims and
definitely identified by them, he broke
down And confessed. He could not
explain his motive and repeatedly as
sefted that he was driven to these
fiendish outrages by Impulses which
he could not resist. He was tried,
found guilty and, in consideration ot
his youth sent to the State reform
school. At that time degeneracy was
not so thoroughly understood as it is
now. Pomeroy was called a . degen-
erate, but it was considered more
proper to punish him than to treat
him as a defective and send him to an
asylum where he could have been kept
under permanent control.
Pomeroy remained in the reform
school seventeen months, always play
ing the model prisoner. He acted the
part so successfully that he deceived
Ills mother, several clergymen and a
number of charitably inclined wo
men. Between them they succeeded
in procuring Jesse Pomeroy's release
without having him first examined by
an alienist. This was in February
1874. Scarcely one month later a lit-
tle girl named Katie Curran disap
veared on her way to school and al
'hough a thorough search was made
extending over many months, not a
trace of her could be found.
Later in the same year a clani-dig
ger of South Boston, in crossing the
marsh back of Washington village
discovered a corpse which war
identified as Horase Millen. The
crime, was evidently the work of a
degenerate and remembering the re
cord of Jesse Pomeroy, the police ar
rested him and took him to the mor
gun where the body of the little boy
lay upon a stone slab. The sight of
the mutilated corpse so unnerved
Pomeroy that ire confessed his guilt
and also admitted that he had fortur
ed and murdered little-Matie Curran
Her mutiliated and decomposed bod;
was found buried under ashes and
rubbish in the cellar of Mrs. Pome
roy’s house.
The confession of these crimes
rented the most intense feeling
among the people in South Boston
and Chelsea and Pomeroy would
have been lynched bad it not been
for the precautions of the authorities
Ills trial lasted only three days and
only the prisoner's youth saved him
from the gallows. He was sentenced
to spend the remainder of his life in
solitary confinement in Charlestown
prison. During the first ten years of
his imprisonment Pomeroy made a
number of-attempts to break out 01
jail, but they were frustrated by the
watchfulness of his guards. A num
ber of sentimentalists induced the
governor in the spring of this year
to allow Pomeroy more freedom, but
his privileges were soon revoked
when the discovery waa made that be
had used his greater freedom to plan
his escape and had even obtained
possession of a steel saw. 1
