Makes a Confession Of Arson.

S. d. Fargo asked to be taken into Gus
toby at Fond du Lac, as he had a cenfes
sion to make. Before the under sheriff
he made the sworn statement that he was
guilty of having set fire to the home of
J. J. Cav at Liberty, Clay County, Mo.
In support of his statement he dictated
the following telegram to J. j. Cav: Il
have this day confessed to the under sher-
if of Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin, to
having burned your house, and am now in
custody" Word was sent to Liberty and
a telegram was received to hold Fargo,
and further that the residence of Mr..
Cav, valued at $4,000, had been destroy
ed by fire two years ago. Fargo is a
brother of Henry Fargo, wealthy real
estate dealer of Chicago.

He looked at meat the letterhesi-

and stern, and cold again. at may spare
you one pang more. But it's destruction
makes 10 difference in my belief"
He moved away again This time I
made no effort to stay him. My eyes
followed him mechanically. He opened
the door, closed it; the room was empty
once more.
He is very tall" said to myself in a
strange sort of whisper.
1t was such a foolish remark-such an
altogether inappropriate remark after
such a scene, that l was less startled by
it than by the weak little laugh that left
my lips.
"You must not laugh" l said again.
NO one laughs Wnen-Wnen death IS in
the house. Death! Death! Whose
death?'
Then shrek burst from me that
seemed to curdle the blood in my own
veins as l heard it; but it was so madly
celebrating, SO full of wild, thrilling, in
explicahe relief, that found myself re-
peating it again and again, and yet
again.
Then suddenly something in my brain
seemed to snap, and all the space around
grew peopled with strange forms, and
all the air seemed full of voices that
shrieked and walled in fiendish echo of
my own; and, fighting wildly, desperately
with the forms, and deafened by the
voices, lost myself in the chaos of wild
and awful dream, from which 1 tried in
vain to escape.

New Submarine Boat Is Tested.

The improved Raddatz submarine boat
has been launched at Oshkosh, and brief
trip made, with satisfactory results. De-
scents and ascents were accomplished
without trouble, and considerable of a
voyage was made beneath the surface of
the Fox river Mr.. Raddatz has been In
Milwaukee for some time building large
engine of his own invention, to which
power can be applied without the use OF
coal. Thus smoke is done away with
while the boat is submerged. The boat
will, if the calculations of the inventor
prove true, withstand pressure of 3OO
pounds per square inch. The depth to
which it cam descend at this rate will be
about GOO feet under water. This Wall be
sufficiently deep to locate wrecks along
the coast, for which purpose the inventor
designed the boat should be used.

Venerable Vanity.

The vanity that survives the decay
Of every personal charm is Of all foibles
the most ridiculous. One can hardly
blame beautiful woman for rejoicing
in the admiration to which her mirror
tells her she has right, or for setting
of to the very best advantage the ply
steal PROJECTIONS with which Hea ven
has endowed her; but the withered
grandam who was once a Hebe is not
excused by her antecedents for at
tempting the role Of Hebe In spite Of
faded cheeks, lack-lustre eyes, and
hair that is deprecated from gold to
pewter and is lacquered over to con-
ceal the change.

"It's an i'll wind that blows nobody
any good" is an old saying that will
apply to the period of depression we
are passing. I have long contender
that seven out of every ten farmers
are farming I should say trying to
farm-too much land. The average
yield of an acre of our leading cereals
is ridiculously small, considering the
fertility of our soil and the ease with
which it can be titled. 1t is very evil
dent that there is something wrong
when one man obtains a yield Of
thirty five bushels of wheat to the
acre, while his neighbor, just over the
fence, gets only twelve. Why should
one man get eighty bushels of No. 1
corn on an acre while his nearest
neighbor gets only twenty five BUSH
els of No. 8 corn on an acre? Evil
IDENTIFY one know how to cultivate his
land so as to make it yield full crop
and the other doesn't.

PEOPLE OF THE DAY.

Had it not been for the women Of the
state the Tennessee Centennial exposi-
ton would have been by no means the
success that it promises to be, for it
was due to their energy and enterprise
that the nucleus for the exposition fund
was raised. In Mrs. Van Leer Kirkman
of Nashville the Tennessee women have
an able and enthusiastic leader. She is
president of the woman's department of
the centennial, and from the start has
shown great executive ability. Mrs.
Kirkman has the distinction of being
one of the most beautiful society wom-

long trousers. The Harrisons are living
very quietly in their Indianapolis home,

as counsel in important corporation

the trial of DIR. Giddings, late SUI

expenses were little over 500 a

A Popular Baby,

The new Harrison baby was just <
months old on April %, and she has al
ready attained the distinction of being
the most talked about baby in the coun-
try. 1t is unusual for an ex-president to
appear in the role of happy papa, and
the nation is consequently much inter
ested. Miss Elizabeth Harrison, for that
is her name, has blueeyes, an insignif-
can't nose and rosebud mouth. This
description would fit almost any baby,
