years in prison for shooting Maria Clcgg
with intent to kill, has been pardoned
through the efforts of the girl and will

Lake Griffith.

For a number of years Buffum's pond,
so called, has been a noted resort for
fishing parties. The pond which covers
about 100 acres, and which was noted
for the trout that were caught in it, was
purchased few months ago by S. L..
Griffith of Dandy, one of the wealthiest
men in Southwestern Vermont, together
with large tract of land surrounding
it for private fishing and shooting pur-
poses. Mr.. Griffith at once began the
erection of club house on the shore of
the lake, WEIGH is nearly completed, and
which he hopes to have ready for occu-
pancy about the first of May, when the
trout fishing season opens or as soon
thereafter as possible. The house is to
be large enough to accommodate his own
family and several friends and will be
fitted up and furnished with every con-
venience. Mr.. Griffith has expanded a
large sum of money in the erection of
the club house and in improving the
lake and surrounding property. This
is done with the idea of increasing the
natural piscatory products of the waters,
as he has decided to post the lake as well
as stretch of the outlet stream. The
waters will be closely watched for
poachers, while the friends and acquaint-
ances of Mr.. Griffith are looking forward
to merry hours of sport on the lake and
recreation at the house. Since he pur-
chased it Mr.. Griffith has christened the
pond as Lake Griffith, by which name
it is now known,

A Graceful Act For Utah.

The predominance of female suffrage
champions in the constitutional conven.
ton Of Utah makes probable the entrance
of that state into the Union with all her
women enfranchised at the polls. The
most peculiar phase Of the debate has been,
however that one of the most bitter oppo-
nents Of the clause has been the Mormon
leader. The gift of suffrage to the new
woman of Utah would be one of the most
graceful acts of retribution Mormondom
could make for its wronging of the old
woman.-Philadelph Record.

AS Jesus was being led captive from the
garden back of Jerusalem one form fol-
lowed the guard. 1t was white in the
moonlight and looked like an apparition.
When the guard noticed the figure, they
sought to lay hands upon it, when the fig

who mentions ibis, and some writers think
st. Mark was the figure. Others think it
was Lazarus. -Philadelphia Press.
