She Escaped From the Place In a
Driving Rain Storm.
A FRIEND IN THE TIME OF NEED.

One OF the most outrageous cases that
has ever occurred in any of the road
houses on the New London pike has
inst come TO light and the story seems
moro like page from dime novel than
an actual occurrence.
The story only leaked out last evening
through q neightor who befriended the
girl and paid her fare on.the railroad to
Providence Thursday m orning.
The girl made her appearance about
half dressed and In . hysterical condition
at the house OF man named Williams
on the road near Crompton about 4:a'
Thursday morning and begged to be
taken In out OF the driving rain. Her re-
quest was granted and after she had been
made comfortable and partially regained
her composure, she told her story.
According tn her account her name was
Grace Smith, Is years old OF Providence,
and she had been dragged and taken to
n Give run by William Blanchard on the
pike about two miles from Crompton by
n Young mar named Jack jackson, with
whom she beome acquainted at the Prov

startling statement 10 Boston news

last summer. At that time he was sure
tho much wanted woman was still at the
Hub, and quite an interesting warn IL all
was. but no one In Chicago or Boston be-
lieved it. Schoheld has apparently done
some travelling since that time.
The story was even more interesting
than IL il had been true 10 some people In
this city who had been anxious to know
what had become of Sohofeld since he
left town. Ills reputation was badly
damaged goods when he left here seven
years ago. In Boston he claimed to be of
German extraction, but that part OF the
story at any rate was false FOR he Was
born in Whitinsville OF English parents.
He first settled in Lonsdale. where he
was married. AS he was good sleight-
of-hand perfoI mer he secured considerable
prominence in the mill village. He was
also q shorthand writer and this accom-
plishment started him in the newspaper

East and West.

It some millionaire Of missionary in
elinations were to send so or more train
loads of New York and Boston people
on tour Of education through the west
the farther west the better-he would
perform an invaluable service in the
way of instilling into their craniums
information that would be useful to
them. They would say less and think
more ever after
Their ideas of their own huge superb
GRITTY over the western people and Of the
general superiority Of everything eastern
over everything western would vanish
like heavy fog before the rising sun.
At present their minds are indeed en-.
veloped in an impenetrable fog Of ig-
norance and self conceit. =.
Here are one or two things our tour
fists would discover:
They would find in a certain far west
ern city of perhaps 100,O inhabitants
actually the most perfect, luxurious,
convenient and sumptuous hotel on
earth, exceeding in many respects the
best, largest and newest in New York.
They would find little cities of 10, 600
to Is, 900 population provided with i'm
provements and conveniences that New
York itself to this day lacks, except to
a limited extent. In such city they
would find asphalt and tile paved
streets, trolley cars taking the place en-
tirely Of the ANTICIPATED stage and horse
car and private houses Of the middle
class people provided throughout with
electric lights. The handsome and con-
venient theater buildings, public baths
and gymnasiums, free, or nearly SO, to
the people; the beautiful modern school
houses, amply able to accommodate all
the children in the town and architec-
turally, artistically and from the point
Of sanitary science the exponent of the
best ideas of the up to date human mind,
would be revelation to these New
York and Boston people that would be
to them in degree what the famous sun
stroke was to St. Paul. They would
never again in their lives mention either
''jays'' or 'hayseeds.''

The artichoke is very conducive to
health in stock and many who have
raised and fed them extensively say
they can defy cholera while feeding
them.
In some parts of Illinois they are
being used largely in the place of corn
as hog food. It is claimed that one
acre will keep twenty to thirty hogs
from October to June. They are Guilt
waited and harvested the same as pota-
toes, or the hogs may be allowed to dig
them for themselves, either in the fall
or spring, as they are not harmed by
freezing. They may be planted either
late in the fall Or early in the spring.
If dug in the fall no precautions need
be taken to keep them from freezing,
but they should be covered lightly in
warm weather to keep them from wilt
ing.
Artichokes should be planted in
rows three and one-half feet apart and
IA to l6 inches distant in the rows.
Many people are acquainted with the
wild artichoke which we have as a
weed, but the tame or white French
artichoke is as much superior as tame
rye is to wild rye. Ell. NJ.

Hospital Life.

In answer to the many inquiries
about hospital life, I can truly say
was happily disappointed. I left home
with such feeling OF dread, knowing
that my life depended on the skill of
the physicians, whose work is most
satisfactory and whose congratula-
lions on my excellent recovery are
duly appreciated. I had the best of
care even afteremy special nurse left to
take position in one of the best
homes in the city to care for one of the
prominent business men, now quite
feeble but with" the care of a COM
petent nurse may live for some years.
The SIS week with such a home
means much to poor girl.
The nurses are from the Deconess
Home under the superintendency of
Miss Sybil Palmer, care Asbury
Methodist Hospital. Young ladies
who take the. course feel that their
time is we'll spent, and enjoy the as
sociations of a band of christians
ready to serve Christ by administer
ing to his suffering ones. Some are
preparing themselves for foreign mis-
sionary work, some to take up their
life work in homes of their own with
knowledge every woman should
possess, while others will make nurs-
ing a business.
L look back over the month spent
there with few unpleasant memories
and heart full of thankfulness to the
doctors, nurses and many warm friends
who cheered me by their visits, gifts
OF beautiful flowers, fruits, etc. Their
kindness will long be remembered.
