An ingenious experiment was once
devised to save a prisoner charged
with robbery in the criminal court at
Dublin. The principal thing that
appeared in evidence against him
was a confession, alleged to have
been made 10y him at the police Office
and taken down in writing by a
police officer. and the following
pasS.e was read from it:
Ma,uau said he never robbed but twice
Said 1t was Crawford

The following choice bit of word painting
occurs in Hawthorne's Marble Faun:
"Women be they of what earthly rank
they may, however gifted with intellect or
genius, or endowed with awful beauty, have
always some little handiwork ready to fill
the tiny gap Of every vacant moment. A
needle is familiar to the fingers of them all.
A queen, no doubt, plies it on occasion; the
woman poet can use it as adroitly as her
pen; the woman's eye that has discovered
a new star, turns from its glory to send the
polished little instrument cleaning along
the hem of her kerchief, or to darn a casual
the advantage of US in this respect. The
slender thread of silk or cotton keeps them
united with the small familiar, gentle in
terests OF life, the continually operating in
tluences of which do so much for the health
OF the character, and carry oil what would
otherwise be Il dangerous accumulation OF
morbid sensibility. A vast deal of human
sympathy runs along this electric line
stretching from the throne to the wicker
chair of the humblest seamstress, and
keeping high and low in ii species OF com
munion with their kindred beings"
Housewives, while you ply the needle
have you ever reflected on the vicissitude
of life? See to it that your husbands pro
vide for the future welfare of their families
by at once appl ying for Policy in thu
GETTY of the United States. No mor'
suitable gift could be offered to you.

colleagues not to do it. Then the
resolution was offered. There isn't
the slightest faint of partisan
politics behind it; it is simply an
effort to protect the honor and good
name Of the United States Senate,
both of which have been smirched
by the charge against Roach; and
hints that other Senators have done
things in the past just as bad do not
help Roach. In his case they are
not hints but a clear and distinct
charge. 1t is doubtful whether the
Senate will take any action until
the cases Of the appointed Senators,
nov being debated, are disposed of.
The nomination of ex-Congress-
man Stump, Of Mary to be
Superintendent of immigration is
displeasing to the representatives of
the labor organizations who have
been endeayoring to secure the place
for Herman J. SchuIties, of Wis
consiu. Mr.. Stump is, however,
well qualified for the position, hav-
ing been chairman of the House
committee on immigration in the
last House, and he is also the
author of the immigration bill
which became law just before the
close Of the last session Of Con-
gress, and his appointment to adj
minister that law seems to be
appropriate.
