At first the watch was about the size
Of q dessert plate. It had weights, and
was used as q "pocket clock" The

The Task Of Writing.

Readers In general little know what
pains writer's and actors take and what
troubles they endure In order to give
them amusement or information. Thack-
eray's troubles cropped out in his writ
ings, and no one who has read his Ballad
Of Bouillabaisse, and read between its
lines, VIII forget his noble sef-devOtion
TO his suffering wife and little daughters.
How Tom Hood wrote his best things on
his bed when alm0st dying, and how
Grimaldi, when suffering from melan-
cholia, was advised to 60 and see that
funny rogue, Grimaldi, are a few incl
dents that have let the public behind
the scenes somewhat, but the pains
and troubles Of the majority, who are
denounced as stupid OF mere fools when
their work had been done under cucUn-
stances which cal for sympathy, VIII
remain q sealed book. An instance
which illustrates this patience and endur-
ance Of writer's has just been made pub
lie. There are few newspaper readers in
the United States who have not read al d
laughed with aching sides at the real hU-
NOR Of him who is known as the Bur
ington HqJgkege man; and the majority
have probably imagined him as a round,
rosy-cheeksd disciple Of Momus who
kept his humor on tap all the time and
turned Il on for the amusement Of the
public Just IS the freak seized him A
letter Of his declining an invitation to a
college reunion has Just found its way
into the press which viii put the matter
u different Hight He says:
Mrs. Burdetts health--if the poor lit
tie sufferers combination Of aches and
pains and helplessness may be designated
by such q sarcastic appelatOD-has been
steadily falling all winter, and We have
come down to this seagirt island to see
If Old Ocean and its breeze5 may do
what the doctors and mountains and
prairies have failed to do. AndhereHeare

in utter helplessness, unable to stand

countless pains and aches day and night

days. No one as Ohautauqua VIII feel
the disappointment as we do, for We had
planned to 60 there together. II she

to creep 10 OhRutauqua on my knees.
Her Life has been q fountain Of strength
to me. In ten long years I have never
seen the look ofpain out Of her eyes, and
for more than half 50 long I have
seen her sitting u patient helplessness,
and I have never heard q COM

has served as those who only stand and
wait, never questioning and never doubt
ing the wisdom and the goodness Of the
Father whose hand had been laid upon
her so heavily. The beautiful patience
of her Life has been q constant rebUke to
my own impaienee, and in her suferings
I have seen and known and believed the
Glove that knows no fear and the faith
that g knows no doubt.

Near BatesYile, in Noble County, Ohio, oc-
CURED the past week one Of the most horrible
tragedies It has been Our misfortune 20 be
called upon to chronicle for some time. Soma
three years ago young German named Frank
d Bisdanbaugh, married young and lovely
girl who FAs the daughter Of q nsighboring
farmer, and the fruit Of this union was one
child, q boy. Late ct night Biedenbaugh re-
turned frOm town under the influence Of liquor,
but entered the house quietly, and without
waking the occupants. Besides his wife and
child, thsra we're Ia the hou8s hired girl and
naighbor named MrB. Stephens and child, who
were staying over night with Mrs. Biedsnbaugh.
Nh. B. and BABE were in one TOOm, and her
guests md The hired girl were IN an adjoining
rooE. Tho fsnd, Il i1 supposed, entered the
eo1in l1ers his via and child slept frBt, taking
with him an AZ, With which be began his inhu-
nan work. With enc blaH the skull Of his wife
was eIlshad, and then the little boy received q
blow across the throat from the Ak welded By
hi1 unaatural istbot This vas don6 By the
sharp sdgs Of the instrument, and almost ssv-
cred the head from thp body. This did not
satisfy ths monster, but blow after blow was
administered 10 both mothr and child
until their heads were beaten into an al
most unrecognizabls mass Of quiToring hesh.
The murderer then passed into the room oc-
eupied By the guests and the hired girl, where
be continued his bloody work Mrs. Stephens
and her child bore appearances Of having re-
esivsd but one blow each, but they were deadly.
The awakening Of the servant girl ct this time
no doubt prevented the victims from being as
horribly mutratod as che first two victims Of
the murderer, who lay Heltsring in their life
blood IN the adjoining room. Upon awakening,
the servant girl sprhng from her bed and ran
toward the door, but was knocked sensaless and
left for dead BY the murderer. She lay upon
the floor some time in this condition, when she
recovered and gave the alarm. As soon as
notified By the girl, several nsighbOFH ran to
the scsno Of the tragedy, and we're almost
paralyzed with terror at the sight which met
their gaze. In one room upon the bed lay
| Mrs Bisdaabaugb, with her head pounded 10 q
Jelly and almost beyond recognition, and By
her side the Ifelsss body OF her child, with the
head almost severed from the trunks. Mrs.
Stephens and child were found IN bed IN AZ
adjoining room With their skulls crushed In.
The blood Of the four victims had dripped
from the bed-clothing and had. settled in pools
upon the hOOr. Search vas at once made for
| the aend incarnats, but It was not until the
/ next day he Waa found. He was discovered IN
! the tobacco house with his throat cut, but not
suficisntly deep as TO prove fatal he was
taken into custody and the ugly gap in bis
throat ssWsd up, after which be was taken to
I Caldwell and placed in the County Jail.

QUARREL with his viis's sister, who lived IN The
house with them Thoroughly infuriateds hs
went out and got large knife used for cutting
corn, and, coming back, assaulted her with the
murderous weapon. he pursued the unfortun-
ate woman into the yard and stabbed and
hacked her until he thought she Wla
dead. After this he went into the house,
and taking his gun discharged Il in the AFR. BE
then reloaded the weapon, and proceeding 70
within q few feet Of where his victim lay val
tering in her blood, be placed the muzzle Of tho
gun under his own chin and fred, The load
passing through his mouth, tearing on Ehs
gut one and lodging in the upper part Of the
jaw. He fell in his own gore, and while strug-
Cling on the ground and gasping for breath, be
noticed signs Of returning life IN his dying SIS
ter-in-law. summOning the ful strength Of
every muscle, and concentrating the whole Of
his vital forces in the great, almost Eupsrhuman
effort, and even then struggling in the throe1
Of dissolution, he groveled about on the ground
until he reached large stone, which be caught
in his clammy hands, and then Wriggling his
distorted body over the ground, he dragged it
to the side Of his dying d5tsr-in-laW. Then,
lifting himself, he raised the stone e high Is
he could, and set It fall on the WOman'B face.
| It came down and mashed in the skull and nose
Of the woman, but she BtiH struggled The
dying scoundrel, With adstsrminttion.Whioh did
not leave him in his dying moments, reached
out again for the rock, with the design Of deal
ing another blow. At this stage Of the tragedy
his wife appeared in the yard, and she, seeing
him reaching for the stone, seized another,
and, standing over his body, she dealt him &
death-bloW, but too late 10 save her sister, who
died in a few minutes after her murderer. I.
is not known what caused the quarrel between
NOlt and his sister-in-laW, but it Is understood
that he and his wife had also been quaErsling,
and that his aister-in-laW simply took his WifS'E
part.
