WATCHING DEATH APPROACHING -
None Of us know how We would act in
supreme moment of revealed fate.
Edgar Poe or Victor Hugo could not
have imagined form of death more
completely calculated to test the vic

which terminated the life of one John
Conlon, at Norwich, last Friday night.
Conlon, who was u pistol maker in that
city, was walking ON the railway track
at Norwich Falls, at a point where
there is double switch, and accident

such way that he was unable to ex-
tricate it. A northern bound train was
coming at full speed, ard Conlon, find

half turned, in his chained position,
and faced the engine literally an en-
CINE of DEATH in defiant way, and
almost smiled as it struck him. His
body was frightfully mangled-almost
literally torn to pieces under the re-
morseless wheels and when picked up
it presented horrible sight. A part
of his clothing, in which was his revolt

and carried to Williamantic before it

IRON THE GERMAN OF ALFRED FRIEDMAN
BY W. l.. SHOEMAKER.

The plough tears up the tawny land,
And burrows follow where it goes;
The sower at the seed-tme strows
The grain therein with lavish hand.
Thick springs the golden wheat, and like
Stand N the field each haum and spike,
As dismal days that know no change.
Yet in the midst strange, fair flower Is
blooming.
An alien seed was in the grain
The sower sowed, and thrive amain
Leaf, thorn, and tower-cup fair and
strange.
OF life, Time burrows up the land;
We follow each his own path goes;
Scarce one finds in the grain lie strows
One seed of love from Gods own hand.

6uue, has elected note from a cores
pondent, who says that during recent
visit to London he occupied in Craven
street tie same rooms which We're
Brownies during his stay in that city.
Artemus was spoken of kindly by every
body in the house, and the landlady
was never weary of descanting upon
his affability and humorous talk. She
said, speaking from personal observa-
ton. that his popularity in the best
social circles OF London was something
uncommon, and that she had never
had so many carriages with coronets
on the panels at her door before OF
since. Yet this success came slowly;
the first nights of the lectures were
failures; but soon there was such a
rush to Egyptian Hall that it was next
to impossible to get in if one was at all
late. Poor Browne was even then dy-
ing of consumption, and was only kept
alive by stimulants constantly admin
istered to him during the night by his
servant.-N. Y. Tribune.

WOman's INCONSISTENCY.

We do not assert that woman is abso-
lutely fixed in her love loyalty; but she
is such compared to men. Were she a
hundred times less stable than she is,
he might well honor her in that as his
infinite superior. Love to her means
loyalty, dedication. She is liable to
deceive herself--she is far more liable to
be deceived. But when she gives with
out reserve or stint the wealth of her
affection, she plays the prodigal to the
last, unless his conduct stirs her to
count the cost. The law of her h,ing
is not to swerve where her heart leads
the way, nor will she, save excepii.'n-
ally. Too often, however, her fai, "ful
heart is driven back by him who sum
moned it from the first-driven back by
neglect and Indifference, rejection
and to shield himself, he calls his
GOODNESS or his cruelty her in
constancy. He is industrious in
finding faults in her that will excise
his own. He says she is tickle incon-
slant. She cannot comprehend how or
why she is so, though she has not the
boldness to dissent from what she hears
on every hand. She discovers in him
extraordinary lapses from loyalty, VIC
lated pledges, sundered ties. These are
not natural to her; but as she, her teach
ers say, was born inconstant, he cannot
be so, surely. Her divergence from
him helps her in her uprighteous self
condemnation. Her looking at herself
through his eyes draws his defects
and exaggerates her own. He is
her consider and casuist. He always
puts her in the wrong, and graciously
pardops her for the sin he has himself
committed. No marvel her logic is
perplexed, and her ethics are bewil-
dered. For such is mans power over
woman.-Laly'S Journal.

A Doctors Fight With a wildcat.

DR.. G. T. Ware, of Bucksport, hac
rather an exciting experience with
loup- cervier last Tuesday evening. Some
of his friends had been spending the
evening at his house, which is situated on
Seminary Hill, and at about 8 o'clock the
Doctor took a small lamp and started for
the cellar after some apples.
A portion Of the cellar is used for pill
ling wood, and as he neared the bottom
Of the stairs he heard footsteps, and then
some Of the wood ratified down, as if a
man was moving about in the cellar.
Raising his lamp in order to get better
view, the doctor advanced few steps,
when he saw huge loup-cervier that had
made its way through q basement door
that had been accidentally left open. He
picked up q stick to club the animal, bult
it jumped from one side Of the cellar to
the other so rapidly that he could not
strike it. He then went up stars and
procured revolver, and after telling the
folks to keep the sitting-room door closed
he returned to the cellar.
This time he found the loup-cerTier
perched upon the edge Of the coal bin and
shot at il, when the animal jumped to the
top Of the wood pile some fifteen feet dis

Treatment of Swiss Prisoners.

In Switzerland, the prisoners who have
notzbeen tried, and consequently pun
ished on presumption Of guilt, are most
severely treated. They are not only long
time in being brought to trial, but the
places of confinement are most cruel.
In visit to one of these prisons, in 1919,
a man was found shut up in one of the
towers, situated in the middle Of a
river. His jailer came three times day
in boat to examine his chains and bring
him food and his judges from time to
time, as they proceeded i'll their examina-
ton. He was chained to his bed, from
which he could not move far, and had
neither chair, table, fire nor comfort
nothing but few old books. He could
indeed see the sky, but that only.
He had been in this situation just
twelve months, and even then it was not
determined whether he was guilty or not.
In the same tower was room, about Six
teen feet square, without light altogether,
or air, except what passed through
narrow funnel. In this place man had
been on one occasion confined eleven
months. Ia another prison, large
anartment in the tower of an ancient
convent, q man was found who had been
confined on suspicion for forty-eight days.
The window was unglazed, but not large
enough to admit light. The room was
very cold. The straw on which the pris-
oner lay was almost black with use, and
his clothes had not been changed since
his confinement. These are, it is to be
hoped, singular cases; yet it is in the
general treatment Of untried prisoners in

pantry, and, being attracted by the light
coming through window over the sitting
room door, he made ajump for it, but fell
back again and ran down cellar. His
course was marked by a trail Of blood,
from some wound which was bleeding
quite freely, and, after procuring a light,
the doctor followed him to the cellar
where he again fred, when, much to his
disgust, the conclusion put the lantern
out. He went up stairs and lighted it
again, but on his return he found that the
animal had disappeared, and as there was
no tracks leading from the house, it is
supposed that the animal crawled under
the wood and died. 1t was quite remark
able that during the whole fight the loup-
cervier did not attack the Doctor
