children being together, and three girls in a
separate room. All were found with their
skulls cloven. From the positions Of Susan's
and Annies bodies it was evident that they
had both been struck down while trying to
escape.
Thomas G. Voolfolk, the accused, appeared
before the coroner's jury with bloody shirt
sleeves. He was stripped, and blood was
found on his legs Afterwards a bloody
undershirt and pair Of drawers were found
covered with blood. They were drawn from
the well, and were the clothes of the accused.
His story was that be was aroused by the
groans Of bis father and that he jumped out
of a window and ran for help, and on his re-
turn got sneared with blood in assisting his
mother to bed. 1t was claimed by the prose
cution that he desired to secure his fathers
property. A sad feature of the affair is that
the murderer had been married but two

scheme for. the organization Of Yale
school Of fine arta
In 1865 President Woolsey gave his Greek
library, which comprised nearly 1000 vol
umes and was ono Of the finest private col
lections in existence, to the college, and FOL.
lowed it by many other gifts, among them
being check for $4,000 toward the library
building
After his resignation, in 1871, DR.. Woolsey
lived In New Haven, occasionally giving in
struction In the Yale law school, but devoting
most of his time to researches and studies,
chiefly In political science. For several years
he was one Of the regents of the Smithsonian
institution and was member and chairman
of the American division Of tho committee
for the revision 81 the New Testament. In
1884 he resigned from the Yale corporation.
He was atone time president Of the American
Home Missionary society.
Early in life Dr.. Woolsey was favorably
known by five excellent manuals, each con-
tanning the Greek text with his own English
notes. Of which there have been many edi-
tons prepared for the use Of colleges in the
United States. These are 1.-THE Alcestis of
EuripAies," $3.50, "The Antigone of Sopho-
cles," Qs35, 1.-The Prometheus Of Aeschylhs,"
assn, 1.-THE Electra Of Sophocles," uS30,
Tho Gorgias Of Plato" us49. In 1S46 he
published his inaugural discourse upon ''Col-
iege Education, }" in which he expatiated upon
the value Of classical education. His next
book contained the address which he deliv-
cred in 1seO, which was $50 years after the
founding Of the college, before the Yale
Alumni, entitled Historical Discourse Upon
Yale College"
His Introduction to the Study of Inter
national Law" which was designed as an aid
in teaching as well as in historical studies, was
published In 1850. He was also author Of

seriousness. As for the Americans-well the
Parisians insist that they are more French

The American "masher" Is there in his glory,
but the French picture of him docs not look

The Frenchman from the village or country
place is an upfailing fount of fun to the Pa
risian. The desperate efforts of himself and
wife to look and act just like city people
and the many little things that give them
away, are pictured in scores Of satirical cuts
The French evidently think the Americans
very susceptible to female charms and prone
to ardent declarations. Thus one journal
represents an old Yankee frantically clasping
the waist of young lady as they descend the
stairs of the Eitfel tower

A FAMOUS EDUCATOR.
The Late Theodore Dwight Woolsey, Ex-
President of Yale.

The Late Theodore Dwight Woolsey, Ex-
President of Yale.
Three weeks before his death the late Theo-
dore Dwight Woolsey slowly and painfully,
and leaning heavily on the arm Of his daugh-
ter, made tour of Yale campus. He realized
that the end was near, and gazed long and
affectionately at the familiar college build
ings wherein be had passed SO many hours of
his life, wherein he had achieved most of his
many successes. 4 resume of bis connections
with the institution will be interesting
In 1920 he graduated, and although be was
only IS years old, delivered the valedictory
before the fifty-eight members of his class.
Three years later he became Yale tutor for
two years. After three more years of absence
he again returned to bis alma mater and was
chosen professor OF the Greek language and
literature He held that chair for fifteen
years, or until, in 1916, he was appointed
president. For quarter of century he
presided over the great institution. In 1871
advancing age caused him 10 resign, but he
continued a member Of the faculty.
Theodore Dwight Woolsey, D. D., Ii. D.,
was born in Now York city Oct 81, 1901.
His father, William ". Woolsey, was pros
porous merchant, and bis mother Elizabeth,
was the daughter of President Timothy
Dwight, of Yale, and granddaughter of Presi-
dent Edwards. Shortly after his graduation
Mr.. Woolsey began the study of law in New
York, but without intending to take it up as
profession.
He then entered the Theological seminary
at Princeton, \. j. 1t was 1925, however,
when he was licensed to preach. In 1897 he
went to Europe where he remained for three
years, staying most Of the time IN Germany
and France. In Germany he devoted his
time to bringing as near perfection as posi-
bic his already remarkable knowledge of the
Greek language and literature, studying
under Godfrid Hermann at Leipzig. under
Welcker at Bonn, and under Boeckh and
Ropp at Berlin. He returned 10 America

as a professor at Yale with his great natural
abilities enhanced as much as possible by

NORWEGIAN BREAD.

Potatoes and Rye Mixed Together and
Baked in Thin Cakes.
Bread-making was another industry
which we had a good opportunity of
seeing while we changed horses at one
of the stations.
Contrary to our expectations, we
found white bread everywhere, but the
common bread is a heavy bread, the
chief ingredient of which is rye. 1t is
always sour; the good housewife in
tends it to be so. They also have ''flat
bread" made of potatoes and rye. It
was this kind of bread that the two
women whom we happened in upon
were making. They were in little
underground room, unlighted except
from the door The walls were Of
stone and the floor was of
earth. They were seated on
either side of q long low table.
upon which were huge mounds of
dough. The one nearest the door cut
off piece of this, and nodded it and
rolled it out to certain degree of thin
ness; then the other one took it, and
with the greatest care rolled it still
more. At her right hand was the fire.
place, and upon the Goals was red
piece of iron forming huge griddle
more than halt q yard across. Tho
bread matched this very nearly in size
when it was ready to be baked. and 1t
was spread out and turned upon the
griddle with great dexterity, and as
soon as it was baked it was added to
the great heap on the floor.
The woman said she should continue
to bake bread for thirty days. She had
large family of men. who consumed
q great deal; they had to bake very
often in consequence. In many places
they do not bake bread ofteper than
twice year; then it is a circumstance
like haying or harvesting. We heard
an Englishman say of this bread of the
country: lone might eat an acre of it
and then not be satisfied. Cor. Lon

floating away without a movem emit
A wild shout went up that rent the
very heavens. Casper still kept his
log. His rival was in the water, and
the victory was his. but amid it all .
strange feeling visited the young cham
pion. He realized what had happened,
if the others did not The Spaniard's
attempt to win a victory by foul means
had cost him dear. His head had come
in contact with boomstick that held
the logs in place. Senseless, the treach-
erous man was floating away to his
doom. One glance was sufficient to
satisfy Casper Fall of the truth. He
plunged into the water, and. Selling
his rivals hair, dragged him to the
boom and called for help. This was
granted, and when the silent form OF
Manuel Carr was laid dripping on the
shore. a naked dagger was found
clutched in his right hand. Great was
the commotion that now ensued. After
the first shout went up over Casper
Falls victory the settlers gathered
about the PROSTATE form of the Span
lard.
'.His skull is crushed-he is dead!"
declared Colonel Given. in solemn
tones, as he made an examination.
The Colonel spoke truly. Manuel
Carr was dead. The dagger in his
stiffene6 fingers was revelation Of
his terrible purpose to win the contest,
even at the expense Of his rivals life.
Dark looks were now cast upon Mr..
Cotton, who essayed to explain.
II knew Manuel Carr had served a
term in the penitentiary." he said.
''but had no thought that he would
murder man if he could not fairly
beat him."
Nevertheless, the Chicago man was
frowned upon. and he found it conven-
lent to leave Crosscut at an early hour.
1t was a sad termination to the days
festivities and proved to be the last log
rolling contest in that region.
As for Nell Given, the incident quite
sobered her. She admitted that she
had flirted with Mr.. Cotton, but it was
Casper she loved. and in good time
the two were made one. Casper Fall
has proved the stuff that is in him by
forging to the front as a successful
lumberman. Colonel Given is proud
of his son-in-law.--J. NJ. Merrill, in
