SHOT HER SWEETHEART.

Nora Bott Kills Her Lover and Then
Commits Suicide.
MoRRIsTowN, n. j., Jan. AT White
hall, quiet hamlet on the eastern slope of
the Blue Ridge mountains, in Morris
county, Nora Bott, young woman of
twenty-six, shot her lover, Edward Smith,
through the brain and then killed herself
with Il second bullet. For more than a
year they had been keeping company,
though it is stated that they were not en-
gagged to be married. Smith had not quite
reached his majority. He was employed
IN the maintenance of way department of
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad and boarded with his brother
Abram.
So far no motive for the double tragedy
has been discovered. Nora Bott was ap-
parently of sound mind and happy disposi-
ton. Nothing but good feeling seemed to
exist between her and Smith, and their
relatives assert that there had been moth
ing wrong in their relations.
There is surmise that Nora might have
become jealous, as Smith was seen walking
with Miss Small. 1t was also stated that
Miss Bott was in love with young Smith to
a greater extent than he was with her.

SAYINGS OF PHILLIP BROOKS

THIS representative man is Il man
who, secs all material things only as the
means OF spiritual culture, to whom i'm
mortality is Il first fact of human exist
cncc to whom God is more real than

evil of all the grooming and complain

II anybody has ever felt that his life,
with its little woes, was easier to bear
because there We're great men living
the same human life with him, he cnn
understand it perfectly. The men of
larger life of whom he knew never came
near him, never touched his life, never
spoke TO him, perhaps never knew of
his existence.
ST. PETER felt dimly that the life of
Jesus was opening into something so
large that all which had gone before
would be seen to have been only the
vcstibulc and preparation for what was
yet to come. He vaguely felt that his
death, in whose shadow they were sit
ting, was the focus into which all the
lines along which they had Travelled
were convcrging, only that they might
open into larger and more wonderful
fields of experience.

We list the teinpcsts which cannot enter
Oh, then sag that love you best.
But later on, when the siren season
Betrays tho trust of the scnilc king,
And glad Garth laughs ut the act of treason,
And winter dies in the arms OF spring,
When buds and birds all push and futtcr
To free fair nature so long oppressed,
II thrill with feelings cannot utter,
And then am certain love you best.
But when in splondor the Quccnly summer
RcGns over the earth and the skies above
When nature knccs TO tho royal conner.
And even the sun flames hot with love,
when pleasure basks III the luscious weather.
And care lies on the sward TO rest
Oh, whether apart or whether together,

SIR Arthur SULLIVAN, the composer,

his imagination and furnish material
for Il host OF harmonics.
