Poor Goethe.

Catalani, on one occasion, when at
Weimar, was placed next to Goethe,
but, being struck by the fine appearance
of the poet, she asked the gentleman
on her other side what his name was.
''The celebrated Goethe, madam"
was the reply.
"Ah, yes. Pray on what instrument
does he play?' was the rejoinder.
"He is not performer, madam; he
is the renowned author of 'Werther. 2"
ooh, yes, yes, I rememberv' said
Catalani; and turning to the venerable
poet. she addressed him:
''Ah, sir, what an admirer | am of
'Werther!

ooh, yes; never was anything so ex-

still laughing heartily.
1t turned out that the lady had been
talking all the while of parody of
"Werther," which had been performed
at one of the minor theaters in Paris.
But fancy the modification of the poet!

Henry Lyons was born in Chicago
in 1868. His father was a drunkard,
his mother poverty stricl1en working
woman. At the age Of 8 he was sent
to the bridewell He served terms re-
peatedly for minor offenses between
1877 and 1885, when he was committed
to the house of correction for the seri-
Gus crime Of robbery. In 1888 he was
arrested for assault In 1889 he was
sent to the bridewell for burglary. In
1894 he was arrested for burglary.
Within six months he was again ar
rested for criminal assault. When he
mauled a companion to death he had
served one term in the penitentiary and
twenty-one in the bridewell. He had
been arrested over 200 times! The
Judge who sentenced him to death could
find nothing in his career that appealed
for mercy. The States attorney WHO
prosecuted him declared he was a Grim
NAL from birth. The question is whether
Henry Lyons, alcoholic by birth, en-
couraged to crime by environment a
wolf-child among men, could have
closed his career elsewhere than on the
gallows. Did he have fair chance?
