There was a popular idea that tho

Russia and that the criminal is really
as difficult to find as the traditional

do the large majority of popular i'm
pressions.
A great sensation was created two or
three years ago by the finding Of seven
Russian eXiles or prisoners who had
made their escape from Siberia. They
were in an open boat in the Pacific and
were taken to San Francisco, where
they became the objects of popular
commiseration, as we'll as the text for
the denouncing of the Russian meth
ods OF dealing with political offenders.
The ~Californians, ever ready with
sympathy, gave them clothes and

Apropos OF the recent celebration OF

There is something at once amusing
and pathetic in the fact that Robely
never married. says the Detroit Free
Press. He was a bright, healthy, cheer
full young man twenty years ago. Un-
der these conditions 1t was inevitable
that he should fall in love and his af-
lection was reciprocated by a beautiful
young lady, who was as happy as he in
building air castles. In everything they
were fitted for each other, unless IN
the fact that Robely was the most abb
sent-minded young man that ever went
a-wooing.
Occasionally he would start to see
his girl and wander in some other di-
r%ection, forgetting his dereliction I'M
til 1t was too late to make amends.
Twice he called for the special purpose
OF proposing and left without attending
to the matter. Even when the time
came to appeal for a parental consent
and blessing the matter escaped his
mind until the indignant old gentleman
appointed a special conference and
CURLY insisted that failure to meet the
late would prove disastrous. Theater
engagements and parties were over
looked in the same way, and 1t was all
passed happily over because 1t was
Robely. 1t was not expected that he
would comply with any special code of
conduct.
But when the church chimes were
pealing the bride was in a futter of
anticipation, the bridesmaids and
groomsmen were on hand, the minister
was ready. the families were there and
the Wedding festival needed but the
presence of the bridegroom. He was
missing. This was different. There
was no way of doing without him. He
had beer urged, warned and cautioned,
but he was allowing that absent mind
OF his to drift him down the river in
a rowboat unmindful of the penalty
fate would exact. The pitcher had
gone to the well once too often. and
the wedding was never celebrated.

origin.
Almost every American Is familiar
with the song called The Vacant
Chair" though comparatively few
know the name of the author Of The
verses or the circumstances which gave
rise to their composition, says the New
England Magazine. A recent writer has
given \ sketch OF Henry Stevenson
Washburn Of Boston, who wrote the
words OF The Vacant Chair" and OF
Lieut.. John william Grout OF he Mas
sachusetts volunteers, whose heroic
death they commemorated.
John William Grout was born In
worcester, Mass, in 1S43, son Of a
well known and wealthy manufacturer.
From the earliest age the boy manifest
ed intense love of things military and
distinguished himself at the Worcester
military academy, where he studied. At
the outbreak of the wal his ability was
at once recognized by the authorities
and he was commissioned second leu
tenant In company ID of the 18th Mas
~sachusetts volunteers. He became very
popular In the regiment and was in
great demand as %drillmaster. In the

conspicuous GOODNESS and bravery, but
MS career vas unfortunately very
brief. He lost his life in the disastrous
engagement which took place in Oc-

Young Grout vas intimate with the
FAMILY OF Mr.. Washburn, being a warm
friend OF that g%entleman's son and on
the Thanksgiving following the young
mans death Mr.. Washburn, sympa-
thizing with the family, which would
feel Its bereavement doubly at that fes-
tival season, was inspired with some
verses, which were afterward published
under the name Of "The Vacant Chair
In the Worcester Spy and signed II. S.
W. These verses met the eye OF Mr..
George Root Of Chicago, who set them
10 music without any correspondence
with the author, as the lines were not
copyrighted. The song appeared as
The Vacant Chair, words by II. 8. W.,
music by George F. Root" and at once
appealed to the public. selling in enor-
nous numbers. Mr.. Washburn, who
has been a prominent business man and
was for some years in the house of rep
resentatives, is now 81 years old and
lives In a beautiful home in the Aber-
deem district of Boston. He has writ
ten many pretty and touching verses
besides 1.-THE Vacant Chair" and not

his principal poems.
