Many years ago, before If Opie Z. fead
had earned fame a. the editor vi The ARK
ansaw Traveller and as the author OF sew
eral successful novels, he and another inn
pecunious printer were engaged in the
publication of weakly weekly at little
town in Arkansas. They managed TO live
through the summer by sleeping in their
office and by swapping yearly subscriptions
and elaborate pulls for farm produce and
patent medicines. But when winter came
and they could not afford the extravaganza
of an all night fire, the question Of lOdg
ings became a seriously important one.
For a time il looked as if the paper would
have TO be discontinued, while the editors
tramped 20 a more congenial cline. But
at last the genius of Read came 70 the res
cue.
There was n freight train going down
the road, passing through that town at
9O7 p. m, and there was a passenger train
going up the road, passing AZ SIS a. II. In
those days, long before Senator Cullom
conceived the idea of the interstate com
merce law, with its clause cutting OF fres
transportation, editors could get railroad
passes To their hearts content. 80 Mr.
Read and his partner, equipped with an
nual passes, good between all stations,
slept in the warm cabOuse OF the freight
train until they met the passenger train.
and then came back home. This they dld
every night during the entire winter

trainmen often had more in their dinner

That the ruling passion is strong in
death is well illustrated by an old story
that has not been revived for so long that
1t is practically new. IL is regarding the
Trappist monastery in kentucky, which
is the home of monks upon whom the in
junction of perpetual silence is placed.
The tales that sift through to the outside
world, with more or less romantic detail
concerning the individual monks of La
Trappe, are many. There is one told of a
brother at Gethsemane which is full of
dramatic suggestion. He was a soldier of
Napoleon, so it was said, and after the
emperors first abdicatiOn took the cowl
Of the Brown Brothers and ultimately
went TO GethsemaDe. Forty years he lived
in silence, hearing nothing of the worlds
history, but with one item of curiosity left
unquenched. When he came to die, and
was lifted from his hard couch and laid
upon the harder floor, strewed with straw,
where all followers Of the order must meet
extremes, the abbot, as is customary, told
him he was at liberty to ask any question
he desired. "What became of the en-
peror?" the old man asked promptly, and
then, for the first time, learned of Napo-
Icons fate, long years after the restless
clay had become dust.

placing was peculiar. He simply forged

was finally arrested at New Orleans and
tried in Adrian early in 1885, receiving a
ten years sentence on the first Indictment
pressed. He has behaved well in prison
these six years, and the governor has for
some time stood ready to pardon him if
the heirs of the Clark estate would con-
