the country for at least the rest of his
term, and I must be convinced from
him that he did act, as you say, solely
in order to save you"
Some days later one of the Governors
personal staff was quietly stopping at a
small hotel in the village near which
Mr.. Jones was living. In the afternoon
he was waited upon by Mr.. Jones in a
coupe, who, upon introducing himself
warmly invited the staff officer to dine
with him at his home. At the head of
the table sat queenly beauty-the
heroine of the mysterious visit to the
Governor. She was pale and agitated,
and managed with difficulty to act her
part as hostess.
A few weeks later yelled lady called
in closed coupe upon the warden of
Auburn prison. Without the inter-
change of word, the warden con-
Quoted her to small parlor, where she
was left entirely alone. In a moment
the door was opened, and young man,
clad in an ordinary citizens suit, en-
tered the room. No one came with
him, and the door was closed as soon as
he entered. In moment he recog-
nized the figure before him. He
sprang forward.
"For heavens sake" he said, "why
are you here? How reckless you are.
You will expose all the past. For your
own sake be careful. do not care SO
long as you are saved"
She fell fainting to the floor, and I'M
mediately afterward the warden en-
tered.
"You have made mistake" said the
prisoner, with heavy sigh, as he walked
back to his cell. 81 do not know the
lady. She is visitor for some one
else"
Concealed behind a screen at one end
of the room we're two members of the
governors staff, sent there to test the
true nobility of the convict's soul. Five
days afterward the prisoner was par
doned, conducted to steamer and
shipped to Europe for five years. He
carried 81 900 which was given him by
the woman he had lost.
On the journal of the Executive
Chamber this pardon is entered on a
book that is never seen by the public.

An Electric Shock From a Sink.
(From the Ithaca Journal.I


Last evening as Mrs. Harriet Hollis
ter, wife of Timothy Hollister, of No.
"a Aurora Sire ct, was turning on the
water from the faucet over the sink in
her kitchen, using her right hand, her
left hand being in contact with the iron
lining of the sink, she was suddenly
Frustrated by a severe electric shock.
Mrs. HOLSTERS first thought was that
she had been stricken with paralysis or
apopleXy, and that was also the opinion
Of her family. DR.. e. J. Morgan, ST.,
was summoned, and found that the in
side of the thumb of her left baud had
been blistered in several places. This
led him to believe that Mrs. HoIlister
had received strong electric shock
from some source. About twenty min
utes after her mother had been SO pecul-
iarly affected, Miss Hollister, in drawing
water from the same faucet, also re-
ceived a shock, although not so strong
as the first one had been. The family
then became convinced that the trouble
existed In the water pipe and sink. This
morning Manager Wolverton, of the
telephone exchange, after brief exam
lnatlOn of the premises, found the
secret of the trouble. Mr.. HOLSTERS
residence was connected with the Ithaca
hotel by dead" private telegraph wire.
This wire had been crossed with the
electric-ight wire. The dead" wire
was connected with the metallic roof on
Mr.. HOLSTERS house, which, in turn,
was connected by tin water conductor
with the water pipe leading to the sink.
When the dynamo machine of the
electric-hght company was IN operation
the current passed over the "dead" wire
to the tin roof and thence to the
water-pipe. 1t needed only the
completion of the circuit by Mrs. Hollis
ter to obtain the full benefit of an arti.
fetal stroke of lightning. Mrs. Holliste1
is about the house to-day as well as
ever. 1t is needless to say that the
dead" wire will be removed at once.

Norway.

Correspondence Boston Transcript
Norway impresses one as country
that has just been discovered, instead of
as land of such ripe civilization that
it's sons were able to discover America
half a century before Columbus. Monu-
ments, castles, ruins, buildings, hoary
or memorable 1t has none. Sweden
seems much more ancient. Norway ap-
pears to yield nothing but mountains,
valleys and fjords, the latter as narrow
as the valleys and as deep as the noun
tains are high. The people seem so
content with the mountains, valleys and
fiords that they press no further claim
on country so lavish in these. The
land is very thinly settled and scarcely
cultivated at all; farming has very
limited Specification; and the farm
houses are far from idyllic. They have
no well stocked barn, 1arder, or what
people with our ideas would call dairy;
the milk has queer taste, the butter is
bad and the cheese is worse; the pretty
and frightfully dirty children are to be
pltled, having no pantry to go to with
cookies and ginger snaps and pies and
preserves. The poorest farmer in the
United States can have cabbages and
turnips and pumpkins; here, the com.
paratively well-to-do countryman must
content himself with flat bread, milk
and the abominable cheese, fish and
the poorest kind of meat. This is not
the fault of the soil, however. It is be-
cause the Norwegian peasant rather
despises vegetables from his scant
knowledge of them. IF ten kinds of
vegetables, including asparagus, and
seven kinds of berries will grow in
Tromso, at nearly go degrees north lati-
tude, this is proof evident that they
would grow further south, if the ma
tives would make the attempt to cult
vate. them. I devoutly wish that few
sklllful Americans would come here and
do missionary work by planting large
gardens and raising vegetables and
fruit for the market and to provide for
the hotels. A supply OF the best
American garden seeds would be an in
estimable blessing, and a colony of Miss
Parloas and Marion Harlands would
win the benedictions and thanks of the
whole grateful world of tourists. if they
would teach in Norway the art most
needed and which only tour in Nor
way, under present circumstances,
would lead one to appreciate properly.

Mules and Horses,

[Roanoke way Cor. Lynchburg News.]
The question as to the status of the
mule in the animal kingdom is a much
mooted one here. An ordinance was
pa ssed by the council some month
since prohibiting certain animals, among
them horses, from running at large
within the city limits. Mules were
omitted accidentally, it is supposed.
The owner of one of these animals was
arraigned before our former mayor
charged with violating the ordinance in
question. He pleaded in bar of the of
Tense that mules we're not included in
the ordinance. The mayor accepted the
plea and discharged him on the ground
that "a mule was not a horse" Since
that time the owners of these kicking
qua1arupeds have not been slow to take
advantage of the decision, as well as of
the defective ordinance. The present
executive, however, has just fined one
of these parties, deciding that in con-
temptation of the law ga mule is a
horse"

Not Too Proud to Carry a Bundle.
CFrom Every Other Saturday. ]

In the matter of carrying bundles, a
gentleman of threescore years-a million
aire--was once clerk in a book store,
and tells this story of the late Jonathan
Phillips, who came into the store one
morning and purchased book. After
doing it up the clerk said: "Mr..
Phillips, I will send this to your house. !"
"No," said he, Young man, will tell
you secret. When you get to be as
old as am, you will learn that the
most independent man is he who is his
own servant" It is related of DIR. Park
mantle same who was murdered
that whenever he bought leg of NUT
ton he carried it home himself. On be-
ing asked why he did this he said he
wanted to be sure of the one he had
picked out. There is somewhere a
dictum of Lord Eldon, the famous
English lawyer and judge, that lawyer
might properly carry through the
streets green bag or fresh fish. The
after, perhaps, for the same reason
that DR.. Parkman carried his mutton.
