The Police Have Found . Motive for the
Salisbury Poisoning.
HAvERHILL, Aug. 10.-District Oficez
Moulton, who is known as one of the
shrewdest criminal hunters In the state,
has struck a clew In the Salisbury Beach
poisoning affair that establishes q motive
for the awful crime and gives promise OF
better results than have attended the
pursuance OF any other.
By this theory the intended victim of
the murderous plot was Daniel McCar-
thy, the hostler at the Cable House, and
the motive was financial gain, through
getting possession of McCsrthy's insur-
ance money and also getting rid Of q man
who possessed the only evidence OF an in
debtedness that must have amounted to
nearly $500.
The insurance policy was made payable
to his lady love, who is said to live in
Maiden, Mass.

Among the particular advantages desi-

disagreeable task. 1t need not be essen
TALLY disagreeable, but something apt to
be distasteful to the boy, such as filing
the wood box or hoeing for stated time
in the garden. The need for such disci-
pine does not disappear with boyhood,
but in later life is generally more rigidly
enforced by circumstances than it was in
youth by the parental will. And we VINO
laugh at the boys restiveness under his
task, rebel in like manner against the
constantly recurring distasteful duties in
our own lot, and concentrate our dislike In
the term of ''drrdgery." The debt we
owe to these habit forming tasks, the mo-
mentum gained which gives US the posi-
biIity of self control, has been well set
forth In charming series of papers en-
titled BLESSED be Drudgery," of which
the following is the opening paragraph:
"Of every two men probably one thinks
he is drudge, and every second woman
at times is sure she is. Either we are
