made a terrific climb in the Bitter

A Wife's Death-Bed Confession
Releases Her Husband.

After twelve years of Imprisonment
q partially innocent man will soon be
allowed to go free. This man being
Joseph Waterside, who was convict
ed in Paulding county twelve years
ago for killing his infant child. The
man was married to woman many
years his senior, with whom he could
not live peaceably. In one of their
alterations the child was thrown
down into cellar, receiving injuries
from which it died. Both man and
wife were arrested for murder. She
turned states evidence against her
husband, and ON her evidence he was
convicted of murder and sentenced
to nineteen years in the Ohio peni-
tentiary. Judge Sutphen was then
on the bench and all the evidence
went to show the mans guilt.
Some time ago the woman died, but
previous to her death she confessed
to her own acts, both of murder and
of criminal lying, and after twelve
years of his sentence being served,
in answer to strong letter written by
Judge Sutphen, Hon. John W. Winn
and l.. B. Peaslee, Esq, and other,
to the pardoning board at the peni-
tentiary, his final parole papers have
been sent in.
In this latter half of the nineteenth
century, much is done for the reform
alton of men and boys. But until
the moral nature of girls and women
are made pure and perfect, Grim es

Some Leap Year Laws.

A woman could propose six hun
dred years ago and the man had to
accept.
In two countries, at least, and more
than 600 years ago, laws were passed
which gave women the right of pro-
posing marriage. These enactments
went even farther than this. They
also suipulate that if the man whose
hand they had sought should refuse
he should incur heavy fine.
A searcher among the ancient re-
cords of Scotland has recently dis
covered an act of the Scottish parli-
ament, which was passed in the year
1898 which runs as follows:
1T is statut and ordaint that dur
ing the rein of his maist blissit Me-
gesle, ilk for the years knowne as
lepe yeare, ilk mayden ladye oi baithe
highe and low estaet shall haze liberte
to bespoke ye man she likes, albeit
gif he refuses to talk hir to be his
lawful wyfe, he shall be mulcted in
ye sum of ane dundis or less, as his
estait may be; except and avis gif he
can make it appeare that he is be-
throthit ane ither woman, he then
shall be free"
A year or two later a law almost
similar to the Scottish enactment was
passed in France and received the
approval of the king. 1t is also said
that before Columbus sailed on his
famous voyage to the westward a
similar privilege was granted to the
maidens of Genoa and Florence.
There is no record extant of any
fines imposed under the conditions of
this Scotch law, and no trace of
statistics regarding the number of
spinsters who took advantage of it or
of the similar regulations in France,
but the custom seems to have taken
firm hold upon the popular mind
about that time. The next mention
of it is dated 400 years later, and it is
a curious little treatise, called Love,
Courtship and Matrimony," which
was publiched in London in 1906. In
this quaint work the privilege is
thus alluded to:
albeit it now becomes part of
the common law in regard to social
relations or life, that, as often as
every leap year doth return, the la
dyes have the sole privilege during
the time it continueth of making love
either by wordes or lookes, no man
will be entitled to benefit of clergy
who doth in any wise treat her pro-
posal with slight or contumely."
Up to within a century ago it was
one of the unwritten laws of leap
year that if man should decline q
proposal he should soften the disap-
pointnent which his answer would
bring about by the presentation of a
silk dress to the unsuccessful suitor
for his hand.
A curious leap year superstition is
still to be met with in some parts of
New England, and that is that dur
ing leap year the "beans grow
on the wrong side of the pod"

Appropriate Holiday Gifts.

As the holiday season approaches,
it necessarily brings to mind the
time-honored custom of giving re-
membranes to those we esteem and
love. 1t is sometimes quite con-
sideration to find the most appropri-
ate article. Among the gifts of the
most lasting kind, and which are ev-
er with the recipient, there are none
more valued than a Fountain Pen,
especially one that is reliable-such
as the Paul E. Writ Fountain Pen.
Saur & Balsley show beautiful line
of these goods for the holiday trade,
along with a full line of gold pens in
pearl holders of the most exquisite de-
sign and finish, goods that we guar
antee to be the finest made. When in
search of holiday presents don't fail
to call on US, we will give you the
benefit of our long experience in
business in aiding you to make such
selection of presents in our line as
you may DESIRE.

Thanksgiving Day.

To-day is Thanksgiving day and il
will be observed as usual. The Gus
tom is an ancient one as history
proves, the following being its origin:
In 1862 the magistrates of Ply.
mouth, desiring to show loyalty to
England on the close of the war in
England by the battle of Somerset,
placed themselves on record thus:
'sThe court desired that public
day of thanksgiving throughout the
colonies might be observed therein,
to give thanks for the great victories
granted to the army in the behalf of
of the parliament and the common
wealth of England
In the Plymouth colony thanksgiv-
ing days were appointed for 1861,
1868 and 1880, and the Massachusetts
Bay colonoies in 1888, 1884, 1887, 1888,
and 1889. Iu New York the Dutch
governors proclaimed Thanksgiving
days in 1914, 1915, 1866 and 1864 the
English governors followed this pre-
cedent in 1850 and 1775.
There is pretty legend, unsup-
ported by historical fact, but pro-
badly true nevertheless, to the effect
that in 1861, one year after the land
ing of the pilgrims who came in the
Mayfower to the then unexplored
land of America, the first governor of
Plymouth colny, William Bradford,
issued proclamation to set aside q
certain day in November to offer
public thanks for the mercies receiv-
ed and for the first abundant harvest.
This story is told in poetry.

FOUND THE MISSING DEED
Messrs. Hollway and Gum OBJ
tain the Desired Document
at ChillicOthe.

CHILLIcoTHE, o., Nov. 19.-An old
deed bearing the date of May 1, 1867,
has been found among the records
here, establishing title to 1000, 900
acres of land in the northwest, ON
which st. Paul, Minneapolis and 9th
er smaller towns are located.
The land was originally granted to
Jonathan Carver by the Nawdaissle
Indians, but his heirs, G. B. Holloway
of Holland, o., and o. U. Gum OF
Maumee, could never establish their
claim because the deed was lost.
Our fellow townsman, A. B. Scrib-
ner, is one of the Carver heirs, and
we understand he has been employed
by the other heirs to look up their
interests and establish their claims
through the courts.
