ing dodge of some kind. Yesterday after
ternoon the woman, who is known as the
Widow Potts, apparently about forty live
years of age, of slight figure, clad in com
Portable garments and having about the jaw
and eyes the indications of resolution, was ar.
raigned before Magistrate Pole. When asked
her name and residence she said she was a
native of North Carolina, and had resided in
New York for nine years past. Policeman
Esolf told about finding her, and the letter
was produced.
Mrs. Potts, in response to the magistrate 8
question, stood up and said that the police.
mans statement was true and that she did
not want to 90 to the house of correction, but
wanted home and employment. She said
she was willing to 60 to work at anything and
had tried hard to get situation. She was
told that her case would be held under ad-
visement. There is law against attempted
suicide which has been once or twice enforced,
but this cannot be applied to the pedestrian s
case, as, beyond her own declaration OF the
intention, nothing has been shown indicating
her real purpose. She afterwards was found
down in turnkey Holloway's department, eat
ing gingerbread and marching up and down,
with none of the appearance of lunatlc or a
suicide. She was very much disincllned to
converse. .....

to give you the purse of $5,O 900 for the New

"No," came from the sturdy jaws that had

broke of and resumed her walk up and down

said again, "a gentleman was here this after

she really intended suicide did not find
lodgment in the minds of the spectators at the
hearing, the conclusion being that she wanted
to create sympathy.

OBITUA Y.

D1ED-On the lst of November, 1879, at Mr..
ship, WILLIAM CAROTHERS WALKER,
only child Of D. M. and r. A. Walker, of CASTOR
county, N. c., aged 10 years and months.
Death came, in an instant, upon him, in his full
promise; but it found him reconciled to God
living in obedience to his Saviour and King. In
October, 1878, he proessed his faith in Christ and
his resolute struggle against sin, his uprightness
purity and kindness, convinced those who knew
him of his sincerity and showed the Spirits work
IN his heart.
. He was dear, from his worth and loveliness, to
all his friends, and his thoughtful kindness and
noble qualities made him the joy and pride of his
hopes and comforts descend with him into the
grave. But through their tears they look to that
Paradise which has received him, and to the be-
loved Redeemer who, through these storms, is
leading them toward the same eternal home.

A Poor Mans Friend.

G. Eaton has invented what he calls the
Poor mans prospecting hand or power
quartz mill, and is manufacturing them in
Chicago whtre they are SOLD for $3.50 each.
The mill is described as simple and durable,
and so constructed that two men can operate
it all day. The force of the blow can be
changed so as to strike light or very heavy
blow readily. 1t can be run by band or
power, band pulley being put on for the
latter purpose.
When power is used the manufacturers
say that each stamp will strike $50 blows per
minute and that the force of the blow in
comparison to the face of the stamp ~
inches) is greater than any of the ordinary
heavy power stamps. These machines are
well made, being put together with bolts. to
be taken apart readily, 60 as to be convenient
to pack on mules back. The whole ma
chine weighs about 1900 pounds, the heav-
lest piece weighing 200 poands.
The revolution of tappets on the crank
shaft depress the inner ends of the levers,
which raise the stamps by means of straps
passing over the outer end of said levers.
The other end of the strap or cord fastened
to the stamp is secured to rachel wheel, by
which means it is possible to regulate the
drop. Spiral springs draw down the lever as
they are released by the cams. so as to cause
the stamps to strike the blow.-P0rtage Lake

An English Election, 1907.

Nothing since the days of the Revolution

as has been for fifteen days and nights pass

seen in messenger totally worn out, asleep
upon his pOsthorse or upon his carriage
Everyday the roads in every direction, and
to and fro from every remote corner of the
country, have been covered with vehicles
laden with voters; bar0uches, curicles, gigs,
flying coaches, military wagons, with eight
horses to each, and crowded sometimes with
forty voters) have been securing the country,
leaving not the smallest chance for the quiet
traveller to urge his humble journey, or find
a chair in an inn to sit down upon. 1t is
reckoned that, one day with ano.her, about
eight horses day were found dead upon the
different roads, literally killed by high speed
and continuous work. Every house, every
room, every bed at York, by an incessant
change of voters at the rate of 1000 day,
created consumption of provisions that
might have served the whole city for twelve
months. So eagerly was every vote sought

Denver (Col) Nesns: Two Englishmen
recently started from Denver for walk to
the mountains before breakfast, an appar-
emily easy task, as the mountains did not ap-
pear more than mile or two away. After
walking for an hour without seeming to
have made any progress towards the desired
goal one of them became discouraged and
concluded to return for his breakfast; after
wards he took carriage and went in search
of his friend, whom he found on the bank of
a small ditch engaged in removing his boots.
His friend inquired what he intended to do
He replied, ITO wade the ditch" His
friend said there was no necessity for that, as
it was less than three feet across, and he
could easily jump it. 'sYou can't tell any
thing about it in this blarsted country" re-
piled the other; it may be three hundred
feet across" His morning walk proved to
extend about fifteen miles before he reached
the foothills.

Worked out all Idea.

A picture of beautiful model which the
late Thomas Couture painted in three hours
and forty minutes, was bought by Russian
for 5000. His picture OF Roman scene,
painted IN 1917, made him instantly man of
power and fame art. ''What are you going

at thai time; "what new grand work." "Pll

is to paint glass of water standing on piece

in the marble you will see the reflection I"

wish to make fortune. TO work for
glory and to die of hunger is not my ambi
tion." Couture became rich, not by his own
industry, but by the death of his father, and
a small fortune brought him by his wife.
After years of separation the questioning
pupil visited him at his home to see what the
master had accomplished in the past years.
"Come with me-" said Couture, after the u.s.
ual compliments had been exchanged; "come
with me and I'll show you something beauti-
ful-something have been painting for the
fete of my wife. Look there!" It was a
rose in glass of water, rejecting in q piece
of white marble on which it was standing.
"Ah. I know it !" cried the pupil "Know
it? Impossible 1t was only painted yes
terday." 8 Yes, have known it since 1847"
1t was the ambitious conception which had
entered his head thirty years before, after he
had been proclaimed victor.
