The note read as follows: “\Vhen my lifeless body is found notify my mother, Mrs. Catherine Hersig of Girard. Ohio. The enclosed letter will reveal my identity and the awful secret of my wretched life. I can en- dure it no longer.” Along with this was a written con- fession, signed with the man’s real name, Charles Hersig. In the letter the man make this confession : .

LAUT A Successful Young Canadian I‘Iovclist 0f the Canadian novelists who have won reputation and recognition during the past few year‘. nearly half of the numher have been women, and in this list the splendid work of Miss Agnes C. Iaut deserves high place. She was born in Winnipeg in 1872, and while in her junior year at the Mani- toba University her health proved so delicate that she was ordered to pack up her school books and go out. into the wild, free, regenerating life of the Selkirks. to see what these noble mountains of Canada could do for her. There, in a life-giving atmosphere. where every breath is a natural tonic. she rode and walked her way to health, defying the decrees and pronhecies of her physicians. She found in an Indian reservation located in the wilds of the mountains, material for her first book, “Lords of the North.”‘ Miss Laut was the first woman to invade the mining camps of the Cana- dian Rockies and to study the life there at close range. Her virile, graphic newspaper letters on this subject were not signed. and editors of mining journals into whose bands they chanced to come. praised them with enthus- iasm. and wondered why other Eastern writers did not picture mining life as it really was, like the man whose articles were appearing in the “Winni- peg Free Press” and other papers. 'I‘o man in the rough, as Miss Laut found him in these camps, uncon- taminated by civilization, she pays high tribute when she says: “There I learned to appreciate the chivalry and courtesy of a class receiving small credit for such traits, and this, though I was entirely, alone. without’ one instance of disrespect or annoyance.” On her travels for literary material Miss Laut has had many interesting experiences, among them an eight weeks’ cruise in a government mailboat along the coast northward from St. Johns. She made many later viSits to the Selkirks, where the natural free- dom from the trammels of social convention appealed strongly to her. Beside her later books. “Heralds of Empire,” “The Story of the Trapper” and the “Pathfinders of the West,” Miss Laut has written strong articles on politics and social questions; subjects rarely handled by women and still more rarely with the directness. clearness and force which seem to per- meate with vitality everything she writes. Her contributions to the “New York Sun,” the New York “Evening Post.” the “Review of Reviews” and the “Century” show a virility unusual from the pen of a woman so feminine and so unspoiled by success as Miss Laut. luterad according to Act of the Parliament of Canada, In the year 1905, by W. 0. lack, at the Department of Agricultul‘.

It elluys the cough. relieves the lungs aids nature in restoring the system to see his son. but after going within twenty miles of Youngstown changed his mind and returned home. He said if the prisoner was Charles he could non bear to see him, and if he was not he had no interest in him. Mrs. Sterling is remembered in Pickering and wherever known, as an exceptionally fine woman, and she visited her son in prison. He sought to Spare his mother sorrow, and de- nied his identity, having changed greatly in appearance. “I am entire- ly innocent of this charge. But you are mistaken. I am another Sterling. Go home and rest content ; your boy will no doubt turn up some of these days alive and well.” But the mother could not be deceived. The jury disagreed at the first trial ; there was a long delay. but three years after the crime Sterling was convicted and executed. The peculiar part of the case is that Sterling’s innocence was estab- lisbed twenty years ago. Mrs. terling lived to see her son’s name cleared. A man down in Texas con- fessed. and the authorties in Ohio went to some trouble to notify the Sterlings. and all familiar with the 'case. As we now remember the facts the crime was committed by two men. one whom confessed in Texas, and this man Hersig was the other, whose whereabouts have since been unknown. Une of these men was in the witness box as chief witness against the unfortunate Stirling. This case is one of the tragedies of justice. Cured of Lame Back After 15 years of Sufiering.

I was never more sick in my life and sent to the drug store for a certain cholera mixture, but the drggist sent me a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy instead, saying that he had what I sent for, but that this medicine was so much better he would rather send it to me in the fix I was in.

Mrs. Weidner was in bed upstairs at the time, and she heard some one open the front door and enter. Thinking it was her daughter returning she paid no par- ticular attention at the time. She heard footsteps move about for a while and then enter the bed room downstairs. and thed in a short time the person passed out of the house. Mrs. Weidner now thoroughly alar- med hastened to a window and cal- led to her departing guest “you had better come back and return what you took”. although at that time she was not aware that anything had been stolen Mr. Wm. Barton, a neighbor ofthe Weidner’s was at his gate when the young man passed and the light fingered gent seems to have had his nerve with him, for to Mr. Barton he said ”whatis thejmato ter with that woman? She must be crazy.” Both the \Veidner’s and Mr. Barton have strong suspicions as to the indentity of the guilty party. and here is a case for the local police to work out.
