I 12 A moxwoons CRIME THE STORY OF_A MAINE TRAGEDY OF ANY YEARS AGO. A Mystery of Long Standing Thu. “.115 Finally. Cleared (p by a Death- bed Confessionâ€"An Ingenious and Effective Murder Trap. One of my best friends and one of the leading professional men in Maine gave me the story of an old time Maine trage- dy. Hitherto it has existed as one of the unwritten tales of Maine pioneer days and has been handed down from genera- tion to generation. My friend relates the tale as .ollows: My maternal grandmother, who died years ago, was a little more than 90 years of age at the time of her death. She was born and reared in what is now a thriving town in the southern part of Piscataquis county. But at that time settlers in that section were few and far between. The country was almost an unbroken wilderness. Bears and wolves were fre- quent visitors to the clearings, and the scream of the panther was not infre- quently heard. There were no roads ex- cept the rough ways cut through the for- est from one little settlement to another. In my boyhoo‘d days I frequently visit- ed my grandmother’s home, and occasion- ally when her work was finished the good old dame would seat herself by the big open fire and relate to me incidents which took place in her girlhood days in and around her wilderness home. She told me how more than once during cold winter nights howling, hungry wolves had hung around her father’s log cabin until the coming of the morning light; how the bears frequently feasted on the sheep and how on one occasion her father was chased by a big gray panther and narrowly escaped with his life. To these stirring tales I always listen- ed with rapt attention, but there was one story which she told me that deeply en- grafted itself in my memory, and that is the story which I am about to relate. I have always believed it to be true, for my grandmother was one of those rare persons who consider “lying lips an ahvmination unto the Lord.” Some two or three miles from my grandmother’s girlhood home there was a settler whom I will call Brown, al- though that was not his true name. Brown's family consisted of himself, his wife, who was a widow when he married her, and her daughter, Ellen, a child of 13. Unlike most wilderness children, Ellen was far from being robust. She was small for her age, weak and sickly and perhaps did not possess the best dis- position in the world. She was no fa- vorite with her stepfather, and he fre- quently remarked that she was of no account and not worth bringing up. Still, his treatment of her was no worse perhaps than many stepchildren receive. One spring, after Brown had been mar- ried about two years. he was engaged in felling trees on a low ridge about a half mile from his log house and getting ready for a “burn.” One morning be- fore going to his work he told his wife that he should not be back to dinner, as he was in a great hurry and it was most too far to walk and asked her to send it to him by Ellen at the proper time. Just before the midday hour Mrs. Brown filled a small pail with food for her husband’s dinner, gave it to Ellen. who then started for the chopping-s where Brown was at work and soon disappeared among the intervening trees. About the middle of the afternoon Prawn appeared at his house and asked his wife why she had not sent Ellen with his dinner as directed. “'ith considera- blv surprise and much alarm )Irs. Brown in.” .rmt-d her husband that she had sent ELIen with his midday meal as requested . no that she had not returned, but which latter fact did not worry her any as she thought Ellen was probably waiting to come back with him that night. Brown in turn evinced much svi'rz-ise, or he said, he had not soon the girl ~e leaving the house it: :..e morning, .ll‘ul he expressed the opinion that she must have missed the path in some way and was lost in the forest. All the rest of the afternoon Brown and his wife diligently Sf":‘.-.‘lled for fl..- giii, but no trace of her could be fuzzn . The few settlers within reach were noti- tied. and the next day the search was resumed and was kept up for several days, but without results. Ellen had completely disappeared, and nothing was found to indicate whither she went or what had befallen her. But it was the general opinion of the settlers that she had wandered far into the great woods and had either died from exposure or had been destroyed by some wild beast, and the matter was soon forgotten. Nearly ten years afterward Brown was seized with a fatal illness. A few hours before he died he called his wife to his bedside and said: “I want to tell you about Ellen. She came to me that day with my dinner just as she was sent. You know I never liked her and never wanted her around. ‘When she came, I w..s chopping off the trunk of a big tree which had partly blown over by the roots. The roots on one side were lift- ed high in the air and were loaded with dirt and rocks. I knew that when the trunk was cut 03 the roots and stump would fly back into their old positions. It occurred to me that here was the op- portunity to get rid of Ellen without de- tection. I told her to sit down with the pail under the overhanging roots and vait for me. She did so.

The Canadian river, which is one of the worst quicksand streams in the south- west, is for that reason cheer" the great- est sources of loss and annoyance to the cownien who have cattle anywhere along the 400 and odd miles of its course. Thou- sands of cattle are lost in its “bogs” ev- ery year, and thousands of dollars are spent in trying to keep the losses down to as few head as possible, and besides annoying the cowmen it is a source of danger and expense to the railroad com- panies that have bridges crossing its treacherous bed. It is the bugbear and horror, too, of every newcomer who has to cross it on horseback or in a wagon, and at certain seasons even the men who know it thoroughly fear to attempt cross- ing at the safest fords. Many a brave fellow has won himself the respect of all the country for swimming it when there was need, and again many a brave fellow has been lost in it; drowned in the water and swallowed by the sands. Occasionally it is necessary to get across with a wagon when the flood is running, as where a trail outfit have cat- tle to deliver and cannot wait for the wa- ter to run down. In this event the herd is driven across, and if there are 1,000 head or more they will pack the sand solid enough to make the passage of the wagon safe, provided, of course, the wa- ter is not too deep. But in any event as soon as the herd is on the other side the cowboys all hurry back to the wagon and, tying their ropes either to it or to the teams hitched to it, give the word to the teamster and dash in at a run, yell- ing and shooting to frighten their horses, while he whoops and whips at his mules and the big wagon bounds along, now nearly upsetting over the uneven places in the channel, now sinking to the bed in the water and swinging down stream with the current, but always moving rap- idly over the course the cattle made for it. If a mule goes down in the harness, there is no help for him, for it would be folly to stop the wagon. It would sink to the axles in half a minute, and in an- other the box would be washed away. If the animal can get to his feet, good enough, but if he cannot there are his three fello s to pull him and the wagon, without co ting the dozen or more train- ed rope horses that are each capable of pulling and are pulling 500 or 600 pounds apiece. If there should be a bad tangle, so that the wagon has to be abandoned, the boys will stay with it to the last. They will swing down in their saddles among the struggling, floundering mules and cut and slash to free them from the harness, but finally. when they have to give it up, they try, if there is time, to get their bedding out of the wagon and, swinging it across the saddles, ride on out to the herd. The teamster, having . no horse, catches a rope and is glad to have one of the boys drag him out. As he is also the cook and consequently to blame for the mishap, the fellow who has the privilege of dragging him makes However, if no trouble occurs, they never think they have done anything more than a very mean job, which to them has no pleasing aspect whatever Bad Drawing. In a famous cartoon of Mr. Tenniel’s there occurs a sketch of a huge open jawed crocodile, with an undulating, prominently outlined tongue, looking fat and tempting as are the sheep’s tongues one sees exposed in well conducted ham and beef shop windows. It is readily ad- mitted and naturalists tell us (I have seen crocodiles in their natile haunts, but never close enough to allow oppor- tunity for examining their tongues) the ugly beast in question possesses an apolo- gy for that mend .‘l', but it is so closely attached to tip» sides of the lipless mouth that “'ilt'll the jaws are extended no sort of tongue whatever is observable. the artist’s dis'inr-t l..l.:£tllic of showing a prominent iuhgue in a position where none is seen.

The Romans were very fond of surprise dishes, such as pigs stuffed with live thrushes, and. to anticipate a little, this taste descended so near our own times as the reign of Charles II, as witness 9. rec- ipe of that date for making two pies which were to be served together, one containing live birds and the other live frogs. When the latter was opened, “out skip the frogs, which make the ladies to shriek and skip,” while the birds when released were to add to the general con- fusion by flying at the candles and put- ting out the lights. A dish of peacock was a favorite plate at Rome and was served at the beginning of dinner. The bird, having first been done to death by stifling, was then skinned; the inside was filled with the flesh of other birds and the whole sewed together and finally sent in to table afliXed to a small branch as if alive.â€"Chambers’ Journal.

Our bodies consist largely of water. and the average man needs to drink from four to six pints of water daily in order to maintain health. This is the amount of water eliminated from the body by means of the kidneys. the skin and lungs. It is evident that a fresh supply is constant- ly needed to supply this lost aid in the process of digestion and carry away waste matter. If the amount of water imbibed is not suflicient for all this. the health must suffer. Air. water and food are the essentials of life in the order given. A person can fast a long timeâ€"ex- periments have proved this-but that same person could not get along with- out water for that length of time. As a usual thing women are the ones who suffer the most from an insuffi- ciency of water. Mothers should see to it that their children have plenty of water to drink. There is a diversity of opinion re- garding drinking at meals. Some as- sert that the practice is injurious, as it ,. Others again ' dilutes the gastric juice. claim that a glassful of pure drinking water taken during the process of mas- tication is healthful. On one point. however. all authorities agreeâ€"namely, I that ice water is injurious. Generally speaking. the theory advo- cated by the best physicians nowadays is to drink often and much. It cleanses the system, increases circulation and helps to make a clear complexion. Therefore, ye men and women, the lat- ter especially, drink. .

Fireproof Safes. “For city use in modern buildings,” said a safe manufacturer, “safes are nowadays made thinner walled than formerly. thus giving them more room inside in proportion to the space the safe occupies. The modern building is fireproof. or substantially so. and in case of fire the safe does not fall down through the burned floors into a mass of burning debris in the cellar, but it stays where it has been placed, sup- ported by the steel floor beams of the room and. with less around it to burn. subjected to comparatively less heat. “Under such conditions the thin wall- ed safe is as fireproof as the thick wall- ed safe would be under the conditions in which it is used in the old style buildings. for use In which the thick walled safe is still commonly sold.” Just Like a Man.

We are accustomed to speak of the hu- mane and chivalrous manner in which gratulate ourselves upon the advance which has been made in this respect. But is this advance as great and as real as we imagine? For example, how do our present day customs of war comc pare with the old time fighting methods of the Maoris, the natives of New Zea‘ land? It will surprise a good many peo: ple to hear that when a band of Maori warriors was going to fight the warriors of another tribe it was not unusual for the numbers it was proposed to place in that the enemy might not be placed at too great a disadvantage. Here are a few stories which illustrate the generosity which the Maoris of for- mer days displayed toward their enemies. A chief was asked why, when on a cer‘ tain occasion he had command of the road, he did not attack the ammunition and provision trains of the English. The Maori, utterly astonished at such a ques- tion, exclaimed, “Why, you fool, if we had stolen their powder and food, how could they have fought?” Another chief, who considered that he had been insulted by the chief of a neigh- boring tribe, said that the other chief, had he not been much the stronger of the two in arms and ammunition, would not have dared to act in so insulting a man- ner. This speech came to the ears of the neighboring chief, who thereupon divided his arms and ammunition into two equal parts and sent one half, along with an invitation to fight, to chief No. 1. On another occasion a chief who was fighting against us and who was short of guns and powder sent this message to the governor: “My custom with re- gard to my enemy is if he has not a weapon I give him one, that he may fight on equal terms. Now, oh, governor, are you not ashamed of my defenseless hands?” A clergyman who lived for a long time in New Zealand relates how in one of the intertribal wars the besieged sent word to the enemy that they were short of provisions, and the besiegers at once handed over a supply offood. But we need not go all the way to New Zealand for an example of supplying am- munition to an enemy, for, if the story be true, it would appear that something of this sort once occurred in the English channel. when a British hdmiral was try- ing conclusions with a Dutch admiral.- London Mail. HERITAGE OF THE SEXES. An Analogue Suggested by Reading Drummond’l “Ascent of Man." When the first man and woman had left the seclusion of the Garden, crossed the river of Possibility and stood upon the shore of Time, ready for their on- ' ward journey toward I’osterity, the An- gel of Opportunity appeared to them and said: “Man, make a prayer to Nature and Life. Petition wisely, for whatsoever you ask shall be the heritage of your sex for ever.” And the man thought and thought, then, looking up at the glowing sun, ex- claimed, ‘Oh, Nature, do not thrust your greatest throes upon me, nor persist in making me remember pain." The angel said to the woman, “Pray thou also with wisdom." As the woman bent low her head she softly said: “Oh, Nature. do not allow me to grow callous not empty. llold me close to the joys. so few. the sorrows. so many, that I may gain strength from each." Again the angel bade the man pray, and once more he stood and looked to- ward the glowing sun. saying: "Oh. Life, give me joy and pleasure. in: nnt unload upon me the sorrows of others; do not open my eycs to pangs I cannot assuage. Give me sweets and the power to cast aside regret.” “Sister," said the angel. “pray." The woman bent still lower, and in a softer voice uttered her petition: “Oh, Life, do not take away from me the mem- ory of sorrow, the shell holding the kernel of joy; do not allow me to become blind to the debt I owe others. Make me ten- der; give me a woman‘s portion, pain, that I may attain my full stature.” And, that the angel‘s promise might be redeemed, from that hour there was im- planted in man the overmastering love of pleasure and ingrafted in the heart of Lip pincott.
