often occasioned by the rails spreading
apart. On one occasion he was carrying a
load Of steam boat men whs we're Gxxious to
get to their destination. They prevailed
upon him not to op at the ususl SIDE track
but 10 pass the approaching train A. the
next switch, mile or two further oa.--
This be undertook TO do, bat soon met the

friRhtful collision, and hundred manned
and bleeding victims as would have follow

The New York Tribune of Monday con-
S. u. Morse, the inventor Of the electric
telegraph, whose death occurred in that
city on Tuesday evening, April =:
Samuel Finley Breesc Morse was born
in Charlestown, Mass, on the 9th Of April
1901. His father, the Rev. Jedidiah Morse,
d. D., pastor of the First Congregational
Church in Charlestown, was leader in
the controversial disputes Of the day, and
shining light of the Orthodox party in their
struggle against Unitarianism. lie is best
remembered by the present generation,
however, as the author of a series of geo
graphical text books, which for thirty
years were adopted almost universally in
our schools, and were extensively reprint
ed in England and on the continent. Mr..
Morse has been called indeed the father of
American geography, for he was the first
laborer in this field of science, and a large
part of the material for his works was gath
cred by personal research and travel. Sam
ue was graduated at Yale in 1910, and hav-
ing resolved to become painter, went the
next year to England with Washington ALI
ston, to study under his tuition and that of
bchJauh west lie showed Il decided
talent for art, and produced model of
dying Hercules, which gained for him Il
gold medal from the Adelphi Society of
Arts but Providence had reserved him for
other uses than those OF the pencil and the
chlsel, and though he always retained his
early iondness for aesthetic pursuits, and
even made second voyage to Europe in
lS29 TO complete his studies in the chief cit
les OF the continent, he can hardly be said
10 nave really adopted art as his profession.
lie was one OF the founders of the Nation
al Academy of Design In 1926 he was its
first President; he was about the same time
lecturer on the fine arts at the New York
Athen@um and during his second resi-
dence abroad he was elected to the profess
sorship of the literature of the arts of de-
sign in the University of the City of New
YORK. IL was on tue voyage nome IN 1882

The judge and his companions were spell
bound. The voice was that Of Katie Lar
kin; and IL was impossible TO mistake II.
The judge was the first to find his tongue.
"What In the name of all that is wonder
ful does this mean2 why is it that we
have followed you here tonlght7"
"That an innocent man might escape
with his life, father" said Katie, laying her
hand upon his arm while Jim Brown has
tily removed the halter from her neck.
civilian Babcolm was innocent Of the
charge you brought against him; and 1
employed this ruse to effect his escape. BY
this time he is far away, and all pursuit on
your part is useless.
Come, let us go home now"
The judge never uttered word, but
helped his daughter to the back of sorrel
but Jim, finding his tongue, exclaimed
''Bnt how in mater did you do It? Did
you bribe Sam TO let him out?"
mo, Sam knew no more about it than
did you"
And then in a very few words, she told
them how she had put them on the wrong
scent; but she did not say that when she
left the house he was still there, and that
she had unfastened the door of his room at
the same time she had purposeiy awaken
ed Sam TO give the alarm, that they might
follow her, and so give him chance to es-
cape. Nor did she tell them of her putting
on the garments she had brought from his
apartment when she had carried in his
supper, substituting those of her father in
their place.
Before the five years had rolled around,
great changes had come to tie settlement.
1t had increased TO Importance, and the
Judge had come to bless his child that she
had saved him from crime that he would
have regretted TO his dying day. At the
expiration of that time, William Babcolm
came and claimed the waiting bride; and
none of the parties had ever cause to re-
gret the ruso for life.

Whatever you have to say, my friend,
Condense 1t as much as you can
And say it in the readiest way;
And whether you write Of rural affairs,
Or particular things in town,
Just take a word Of friendly advice
Boil 1t down.
For If you go sputtering over page,
When a couple Of lines would do,
Your butter is spread so much, you see,
That the bread 'ooks plainly through;
So when you have a story to tell,
And would like little ronown,
To make quite sure of your wish, my friend,
Boil it down.
when writing an article for the press.
whether prose or verse, just try
TO utter your thoughts in the fair,st words,
And let them be crisp and dry;
And when it is finished, and you suppose
1t is done exactly brown,
Just look 1t over again, and then
Boil 1t down.
For editors dc not like to print
An a,ticle lazily long,
And the general reader does not care
For couple of yards of song;
SO gather your wits in the smallest space,
If you'd win the authors crown,
And every time you write, my friend,
Boil it down.
