A lad about sixteen years old named Pru-
dent Carson, residing in the Barker Mill dis
trict, was arrested Tuesday on charge of rob-
bling the United States mails. Wednesday he
confessed. According to his story, one day last
January Carson picked up postofice key on
the floor Of the Lewiston postoffice. He secret
ly tried the boxes till he found lock which
the key fitted. He opened the box, distracted
several letters and opened them. Several times
afterwards he repeated the performance, and
in one letter he found dollar. Carson also
called for letters from certain peoples boxes,
which he pointed out, and the clerk. supposing
he was sent for the mail, delivered to him the
contents of the boxes. He took the letters off
and opened them, and in one letter he found
three dollars This is the extent of his robbing,
according to his own statement.
About half-past o'clock Thursday morning,
Mary. Guy, the wife of Irwin Guy, was asleep
in her room in Lewiston, when rough, I'M
known to her, cody entered the house and
went to her room, without waking her. The
rough committed vile assault on her, and
was only prevented from accomplishing his
purpose by her terrible screams upon awaking,
which aroused the people in the house and
caused the fellow to take fight. The woman
received such a shock that her condition is now
very critical, say her attending physicians.
She thinks she can identify her assailant, and
her description of him photographs desper-
ate Lewiston iail-bird.

The Newspaper in a Farmhouse,

People who live near the great thor
oughfares, where they have access to
two or three dailies and half dozen
weeklies, do not fully appreciate the
value of a newspaper. They come, in
deed, to look upon them as necessities,
and they would as cheerfully do without
their morning meal as their morning
mail. But one must be far off in the
country, remote from "t the maddening
crowd" to realize the full luxury of
newspaper. The farmer who receives
but one paper week does not glance
over its columns hurriedly, with an air
of impatience, as does your merchant or
lawyer. He begins with the beginning
and reads TO the close, not permitting
news item or an advertisement to escape
his eve. Then it has to be thumbed by
every member of the family, each one
looking for things in which he or she is
most interested. The grown-up daugh-
ter looks fer Tie marriage notices, and is
delighted if the editor has treated
them to love story. The son who is
Just about to engage in farming, with
an enthusiasm that will carry him far in
advance of his father, reads all the crop
reports and has keen eye for hints
about improved modes of culture. The
younger members of the family come in
for the amusing anecdotes and scraps of
fun. All look forward to the day that
shall bring the paper with the liveliest
interest, and if by some unlu ,ky chance
it fails to come it is bitter disappoint-
ment. One can hardly estimate the
amount of information which paper
that is not only read but studied can
carry into family. They have, week
by week, spread before their mental
vision a panorama of the busy world,
its fluctuations and its concerns. 1t is
the poor mans library, and furnishes as
much mental food as he has time to
consume and digest No one who has
observed how much those who are far
away from the places where men most
congregate value their weekly paper
can fail to join in invoking a blessing
on the inventor of this means OF intel
lectual enioyment.-Ced~ Rapids Re

CHAPTER III,

81 always doubted him." she said to
herself. "He did want me for my
money. Heavens, what wretched
world it is for man to be protesting and
swearing as he did, and then to give up
so easily as soon as he heard that 1 was
penniless. Well, thank Heaven, that is
one escape"
She remained very thoughtful for a
time, for there was the other proposal
of marriage she had received, the one to
which she had promised some day to
give an answer.
Suppose Luke Morris, the quiet,
thoughtful, manly student, should prove
to be as sordid as Frank Roberts.
AS she mused upon this, hardly heed
ing the babble going on all around, she
trembled at the glance within which she
obtained of her own feelings. 1t came
upon her by surprise that she really
loved this quiet, middle-aged man in
despite of his plain features and stern
ways.
"And suppose he did prove to be only
a money-wooer Oh, it would be dread
full !" she muttered, as the tears started
to her eyes.
She had hardly dashed them away
before she saw Morris approaching slowly
and thoughtfully, and in spite of the
suffering which she knew it would cause
her, she made up her mind on the instant
to open the ball by telling Mr.. Morris
of her altered circumstances.
"Ah, Mrs. Hartley" he said, approach
ing her with his grave smile and extend
ing his hand, "other people engross
you so much that it is only by chance
one can get word with you. May l Z"
He offered his arm, and trembling
and changing color she took it, and he
led her along the river side, both Of
them being silent, for he was thinking
deeply, and she was beating about fol
words to commence what would be tC
her now most painful subject.
She felt that she was growing more
and more agitated, and as if sooner thar

her heart clung, she would retract hel
intention of giving up her late husband'l
ill-gotten store.
