The prisoner made answer that It was a fhiatter of Indifference to him arid that be was prepared to be swung off at any time. The judge continued "Mr. Dodson, It Is a serlous matter to be hanged. It can't happen to a man but once in life unless the rope should break before the neck Is broken you had better take all the time you can. But since it makes no difference to you you may hang four weeks from today at 12 noon, but yoit may bave a good dinner first." and The Firat Astor and the Poet. John Jacob Astor and his son rigidly attended to business in the same office, a little one story building In Prince street, just east of Broadway. Their constant companion there was Fite Greene Halleck--Marco Bozzaris Hal leck, Halleck became a clerk for Astor In 1832 and worked seventeen years. The employment, he himself sald, was not "profitable, but permanent." Astor warned him when he began pot to talk to any one of his wealth. The two men became great friends. Ilalleck spent months with his patron at his country seat and became one of the trustees of the Astor library. The poet frequently rallied the old man on wealth. "Why, Mr. Astor," he would say, "it I had $200 a year and was sure of it I The great land- and in his bis would be content." ow ner took Lim at his word, will, much to the amusement of bohe- mian New York, left Halleck an an- nuity of $200.--Burton J.

THE MAKING OF CANADA DEATH OF LORD NORTON RE- CALLS HISTORIC EVENT, He It Was Who Piloted the British North America Act Through the Im perial House of Commons -- Where Canada Was Born--Final Draft of Act Creating Dominion of Canada Was Made at Hams Hall To-day, writes 8, im The London Daily Mall of April 1, the mortal re mains of the nonagenarian, Lord Nor will be lald in their last resting at Lea Marston Church, which stands close by Hams Hall, in War wickshir The aged Peer had s much outlived the generation which knew him best that few twill quite rea- Mize how vividly interesting a chapter of Imperial history {s thus brought to 4 close. Charles Adderley was not gifted to any remarkable extent with those platform arts which lay the foundations of a great political repu tation. Straight and simple in style of speech, careless, rather, as to whe ther he won or missed distinction but deeply in earnest abott many things which tend n to the gaining of popular applause, though they make largely for the sweetening of human life, he missed greatness, yet won unl versal esteem Bome years ago | was hla guest at Hams Hall He was over eighty, yet full of energy, and seemed to take a delight in spending some hours of a summer afternoon showing me over the gardens which surrounded his beautiful home. His memory of the past was fresh and vivid, and, less than balf his age, I felt myself carried bac K at times which seemed almost histor ical as he spoke of hls earlier political experiences and the men with whom he had been brought into con- tact during an active political career. Where Canada Was Bor; We lingered for a while on the broad terrace of the hall, admiring the soft beauty of the Warwickshire scenery Then quisily, and, as it seemed to me, with special care, the old gentleman had seats arranged, and we sat down. He looked at me for a few moments, and his strong, kindly face lit up with a smile of proud remembrance. "Do you know," he said, "that you are sitting on a spot which may some day become famous enough to draw many pllgrims from far distant parts of the British Empire?" 1 expressed surprise and Interest. It was just there" sald Lord Nor close ton, "that the final draft was made of | It | the British North America Act created the Dominion of Canada, and 'jald down the great principle that the Rritish Colonies shall be free, melf- governing natfons, and not mere de- | pendencles of the mother country. I was most earnestly convinced that this was the right policy to pursue; but there was great opposition from a portion of the Canadian people, .and my chief, Lord Carnarvon, doubted whether we should go on wih the scheme, espe- ¢lally as we knew that there would be much opposition to it in the House of Commons. "We spent an afternoon on this ter- race earnestly comsidering it from every | | thon, on the contrary, ula fold them as free partners iii | the Empire, and that was the aim of | my policy. 1 did not belleve that we, 1 i bring them Into unfon as we have brought Scotland and Ire land. mes | tance put that out of the question, an with the astonishing example of the United States before us we Had to ng | & fouridation on 'hich great nat ford | fnight be raised. | "I think my views were a practical and, I hope, a very sound compromise between the idea of positive union, or mere paternal control, and the school represented by Bright, which regarded the Colonies as something of an en- sumberance. On the whole, I am well satisfied; indeed, I may say not a lit lo proud of the action I was able to take" ¥ Yooking One In the Myen, | There is a specimen of proverbial philosophy which savs that he man who cannot look you fn the e Is dishonest.

Away back in the early eighties of the last century a notice appeared in a journal publish- ed at Dodge City which ran as follows: "In view of the fact that we cannot pay the road tax of $10 assessel against us this year we have been seun- tenced to a certain period of confine. ment by the judicial authorities of this state; consequently there will Be nn» ! issue of this paper for the next thres weeks.

Lord Car- naryon acknowledged that I should have fhe hardest task in piloting the bill ft might have meant the ruin of my Parliamentary Career. Finally, we agrecd on the main principles, and then we sat down here and put the scheme into shape. I am proud of that after- noon's work, and I love this terrace bocause it 1a so closely associated In ty memory wih what I think was the most important work of my public life." Beginnings of Imperialism. Lord Norton did not mention #htes, but I think the scene he was recalling must have taken place the autumn of 1866. He joined Lord rby"s Gov- ernment in June of that year as Under Secretary of State for the Colonles, and the British North America Act was passed In 18367. I recalled to his mind the vigorous opposition to the measure by Mr. Bright and other prom- inent Liberals. "Yes," sald Lord Norton, "it was a very artxious time: for me. Bright was a giant in debate, and on the face of #t he had a strong case, for the Cana- dian local elections had gone against the view we wére ing. But I was sure that the choice lay between con- federation and loss of some of our North American colonies. They would have joined the United States.
