IF men will kill, or rob, other wise break the
laws of God and man, it is much more satisfac-
tory and profitable to the State which cares for
them temporarily, if the convicts be skilled
laborers. One Jim Smith has just been released
from the Tennessee penitentiary, after serving
q nine years term for highway robbery. He is
a skilled tool-maker, and worked in the prison
machine-shop during his term, earning had he
been paid according TO the scale of wages out
side, over $11 900. 1t may be added that Mr..
Smith did not receive this sum on leaving the
prison, but was obliged to be satisfied with $25
and suit of new clothes without stripes AS
this is probably quite as much as he would now
possess had he continued in the robbery bust
ness without interference, Mr. Smith should not
complain.

THE HUBBARDs.-The other day, when
old Mai. SOlman announced his readiness
to proceed in the direction of church, his
wife appeared, wearing Mother Hubbard
dress. The old man intently regarded her
for few moments and then asked:
"Mary, what sort of a coat do you call
that ?"
CPS Mother Hubbard, Jeems."
"Air you goin to wear it to church?"
"Why certainly, Jeems. The Mother
Hubbard is all the fashion nOW."
"Well, Pm glad to know it," the old
man replied. "Just wait till get ready,
and We'll CO."
The old man went out into the kitchen,
took couple of meal sacks, cut the bottoms
out, seWed the tops together, and put them
on in imitation of pantaloons. When he
returned, his wife uttered a loud cry of as
tOnishment, and exclaimed:
"Great goodness, Jeems, what is that?"
"Father Hubbard" the old man replied.
"You're not a-goin' to wear them sacks,
are you?"
"i've got to be fashionable to keep up
with you. I've got as much right to wear
these meal bags as you have to go in that
bran sack"

from the edge of the hand below the little

gers, it indicates an affectionate disposition,
and, also, promises we'll for the happiness of
the pOssessOr. If it sends down short lines
toward the head line, it shows that affection
must be founded upon respect; but if these

We should look at the left hand chiefly for

in the right for whatever pertains to health

wide, tell the absence of the quality attrib-
uted to that line, or the existence of the op-
posite quality. For instance, a pale, wide
line of the heart indicates coldness, or even
cruelty. When the lines Of the left hand

features and characteristics of the human

inborn in most people without having to

conplacency and conceit. Eyes that rove

HER PAINFITL DUTY.

Through the Elusive glitter of the warm,
golden July moonlight, the last impression
that Bertha Demorest received was that of
a tall, graceful figure vanishing through the
dusky gloom, while his good night words
fingered pleasantly with her.
"Remember, Bertha, if you are not at the
picnic tomorrow | shall not care q fig for
the whole affair. Don't forget that you
have promised me that you will be there"
81 am not in love with him." Bertha said
to herself, as, returning to the parlor, she
sat down in the tender dusk, letting the
curls droop over one slender hand that sup
ported her head as she muSed and dreamed.
"Of course | am not in love with him."
she thought, feeling the warm blood flush
to her very temples at the word. 81 have
only known him month. | wonder if he
really cares SO much whether or not go to
the picnic?"
She was fair little girl with bright, blonde
hair and heavenly blue eyes, land Mr.. Frank
Gerome, the handsome young engineer who
came to Westvale to attend to putting in
the machinery in the great block mills :r. re.
Gently erected, thought her the lOvellest
creature he had ever seen in his life, and
particularly this evening, as he went home
ward to the picturesque old farmhouse
where he was temporarily living, and whose
maiordomo was Mrs. Cornelia Crawford.
Cornclia Crawford and Bertha Demorest
were both women, but there all analogy
ceased. Bertha was seventeen-Corne
was forty; Bertha was fresh, fair and a mai
den-Cornelia, faded and widow.
ga delightful evening, Mr.. Gerome," ,"
Mrs. Crawford gaily said as he came up
the steps.
''YeS," he assentcd.
And then Mrs. Crawford edged herself a
little to one side.
"Won't you sit down and enjoy the moon
light a little while?" she asked persuasively,:
'"Thanks," he said. 81 am in hurry"
And rather dissatisfied with the inditter-
ent success of her attempt at sociability,
Mrs. Crawford turned to another of her
! boarders who was sitting inside the win
dow.

yet to be accounted for. If the stains are
those of her blood or of Lewis, the obvious
way to find it out is to learn where the car
riage was ut 4 late hour that night. Lewis
testifies that he embarrassed the horse at
halfpast and did not leave his house after
twenty minutes past =. NJ, but, not rely
ing altogether on this testimony, the detec-
tives are securing the country to learn If
anything was seenOf this particular carriage
on that night. They refuse to divulge the
result of their work, but it is certain that
they have discovered something which they
believe will show where it was and that
they expect to obtain cOrrobOrative evil
dence of what they have heard from other
people in the same neighborhood with the
information they now have. Where this is
or exactly what they have heard they refuse
to say.
WHAT THE OFFICIALS SAY.
In connection with the scraps of skin
found under Rose Amber's nails, Mr. Joyce,
the deputy coroner, and State Attorney
Fessenden say that when they talked first
with Lewis after the discovery they noticed
scratches on his right hand. They say that
he was very nervous (as he would naturally
be after the death of his intended) and that,
seeming to notice their scrutiny of his hand,
he put both hands behind his head and
talked for the rest of the interview in that
position When he was so severely exam
ined on Wednesday he was asked suddenly:
"When did you get those scratches on
your hand %
81 never had any," he answered with
perfect GOODNESS, and, being directed to do
so, he showed his hands, but no scratches
or marks of recently healed wounds could
be seen.
The Governor of Connecticut has offered
a reward of 81 800 for the arrest and convic-
tion Of the murderer; but the absence Of
clues at this writing, leads to the conclusion
that this case must go upon the record Of
unsolved mysteries with those Of Mary
Stannard and Jennie Cramer.

A DELUDED BLIND GIRL.-There was
an affecting scene in Philadelphia, the other
day, at the home Of Mrs. John Enquest
when her sister, Regina Anderson, a blind
Mormon proselyte, was led into the house
by her brother Leander and sister Anna
who rescued her on Sunday morning at
Castle Garden, New York.
Miss Anderson, who is a young and beau
tiful girl, said that her home, near Stock
holm, in Sweden, had been visited by a
Mormon missionary, who painted to her
in the most glowing colOrs the advantages
she would derive from exchanging her
humble lot for a home among the Mormons.
"He told me-" she said, ''that the weather
in Utah was always pleasant; that every
kind Of fruit grew in the streets and that
nobody lived there but rich men, great
many of whom were unmarried and wanted
wives. He told me that husband was
awaiting me among his people and said he
owned a dozen carriages and a great stable
full of horses"

THE LATE JAMES GRAHAM.-The CheS-
ter Bulletin of the 18th instant, contains
the following sketch Of the late James
Graham:
Mr.. James Graham, probably the oldest
citizen of our town, departed this life last
Friday, at his residence. He was in his
county, North Carolina, May Goth, 1886.
He went from his home in Lincoln county
to Kentucky, but after remaining there
few years he returned and about 1926 came
to York county, making his home with
Capt. John Blair, of Blairsville. He went
thence to Yorkville and clerked there in
Captain Blair's store a number of years.
Leaving Yorkville he went to Monticello,
Fairfield county, and doing business there,
came to the town of Chester where he did
business as clerk with DR.. John Dunovant
He afterwards engaged in this pursuit on
his own responsibility, and continued mer-
chandising the greater part of his life. Pri-
or to the late civil war, he was one Of Ches-
ter's merchants, andalways sustained high
reputation as conscientious dealer and up
right citizen. For number of years before
the war he faithfully served the county as
tax collector He joined the Methodist
Church when he was 80 years of age and
up to within a short period has attended
services with remarkable punctuality, de-
spite the feebleness of his frame. On Sat
urday evening funeral services were held
at the Methodist Church by Rev. J. NJ. Car
Isle, a large crowd being present The re-
mains were thereafter laid at rest in Ever
green Cemetery, being followed to their fl
nal resting place by a large number Of rela-
tives and friends. During the funeral ser
vices, most all the business houses in town
were closed as a mark Ofrespect to the men,
Ory of this venerable man.
