wood, a negro recently released from
the penitentiary, called at the home Of

miles southwest of here, and demanded

yer against Mrs. Pabst's temple and
compelled her to bind her husbands
arms and feet with Irvine. The brute
then took her into another room and
assaulted her. She finally managed to
elude him and ran to the house of her

tant. Louis returned with a shotgun.

gun and moment later the riddled
corpse of the negro lay stretched on

No doubt great deal of the wrang-
ling and hairsplitting in congress is
due to the great preponderance of law
yers in both houses. Sixty of the
eighty-nine senators and 245 of the
35S representatives are members Of
the bar, the total of both houses be-
ing: Lawyers, 305; all others, 142.
this looks like very small proportion
of bread to an intolerable deal of sack,
so to speak. 1t is an open question
whether lawyers are the best legisla-
tors, and it may be set down as GER
tain that the garrulousness character
istic of the gentlemen of the long robe
does not expedite business. Peter the
Greats opinion of the profession is
shared by a good many people even in
this age when lawyers appear to have
the start of everyone else.

Sir Walter SCOTS writings do not
pass into eclipse behind the later pro-
ducts of genius. The Providence Pub
lie Library issues a bulletin from
which it appears that during ten years
few books were drawn more than
three hundred and fifty times. Among
these we're "Ivanhoe," Guy Manner
ing," "The Bride of Lammermoor,"
and Wentworth" "Kenilworth" was
taken out six hundred and twenty-five
times. Thirty-five years after Scott's
death London bookseller would not
keep in his stalls sixpenny edition Of
the Waverley novels, because they
killed the sale of all other books. Yet
the lure was not in sensationalism;
the popular craving was not for pois-
onous sweets; millions Of readers
found only pure and wholesome hui
man pleasure.
