In law court at Halle, Germany,
the other day man named Wetzsteln
was arraigned on separate indictments
for the murder of two women, and in
each case sentence of death was
passed upon him. But this was not
all. The man was further charged
with the attempted murder of two
more women. For these two offenses
he was, notwithstanding the death
sentences, gravely condemned to fifteen
years Imprisonment.

THE LILY AND THE POET.

A lily on the highland lay,
Beneath the fierce and scorching ray
or midday summer sun.
1t CHANGED poet, passing by,
Upon the lily cast his eye,
His sympathy 1t won.
"Poor little flower" he pitying said,
"Who left thee thus with dropping head
Beneath burning sky;
Ah, me 1t was thoughtless deed
To cast thee forth, like common weed,
To wlther and to die.
"Away from cool and grateful shade
or garden bed or messy glade,
Where, erstwhile, thou didst bloom,
My heart with pity bleeds for thee,
Thus treated SO despitefully,
And left to such doom.
''The lily is the spotless flower,
The emblem of the priceless dover,
Ofpurity Of heart.
King Solomon, in all his power,
Was not arrayed like thee, sweet flower,
Thou work OF Natures art.
'Icannot leave thee in thy need,
Amid the dust to pant and bleed.
cannot leave thee so.
Close by thee lies lovely mere,
Whose sparkling waters bright and clear,
Der water lilies flow.
"Upon its cool, refreshing breast,
I'll lay thee gently down to rest,
And Danish all thy pain.
The water sprites will change thy shape,
And. as Lilly OF the Lake.
Thou yet shalt bloom again."

Be In Sight al the Present
Time.
ALIx CAN DO A HALF IN ONE MINUTE.
Another Year or Two viii See Plonty Of
Two.MInute Harness Horses, Ills
Predicted.

Unquestlonably the two-minute trot-
ter Is In sight Five yenra ago no horse
had ever shown in public speed at less
than two-minute gait for ms much M
quarter OF a mile. Nancy Hanks
trotted the third quarter OF her famous
mile In less than 80 seconds. Allx has
shown that she can trot "a quarter In
2o% seconds. The writer timed yearl-
Ing PAGER two yenrs ago a quarter In 30
seconds. The colt was hitohed TO a high
road cart. John II. Gentry has paced a
quarter in less than 30 seconds. and part
OF that quarter was In better than
l,55 gait. Dlrectum trotted a half Ia
l;0OA as a 4-year-old and Allx can un-
doubtedly trot half In one minute. To
the paser We must look for the first two
minute horse. The driver of one of the
famous PAGERS says he has driven his
horse an eighth In 12M seconds, and
who doubts Robert J.s or John r. Cen
try's ability 10 pace a half in 90 sec
onds. Five years ago this was unheard
Of and yet we know that within a year
or two three-quarters in 80 Is within
the possibility OF some PAGER. When
several horses can go in 204. certainly
some one horse will be far superior as
has been the history OF all harness
horses. Trotting horses, unlike thor
oughbreds, Increase I'm speed as they
mature in strength. II a yearling can
pace quarter in 80 seconds, can there
be any doubt that some older horse will
pace one in 2s seconds? When we know
of some that can brush a 1855 gait, as
soon as some horse can go a quarter In
y seconds, the two-mlnute mark Is an
assured thing. for properly conditioned
he will be able TO carry his clip for a
mile, when, reserving three seconds OF
his speed per quarter, so as to 20 the
full distance In minutes.
So far as mere speed is concerned.
Flying Jib has already demonstrated
that horse can pace In better than
200 when relieved of weight. 1t is by
no means impossible that improve
ments will be made In the pneumatic
sulky that will make the draft lighter
even than Alix's twenty-one-pound We
hicle. The suggestion made by Judge
Oliver. of Cincinnati, may be In the line
of such an Improvement. That Is not
at all. as some have imagined, on the
principle that the sulky can be SO ad-
Justed as to make the weight In the seat
push the horse along. This would be
a mechanical impossibllity. If weight
In any sort OF vehicle could be so ap-
piled as to make II a propelllng power
we would then have all that Is wanted
to make perpetual motion practicable
But the plan proposed by Judge Oliver
is TO relieve the horse OF part of his own
weight by placing the seat somewhat
further back OF the axle. thus making
the weight of the driver lift portion
of the weight of the horse. A driver
Weighing l50 pounds would not, how
ever. lift nearly the same number OF
pounds of the weight OF the horse, be-
cause the drivers weight would be at
