BURR FOUND THE ASSASSIN.
Famous Lawyer Once Cleared His Gil
OF Murder

of Murder
Il vas particularly interested said
an old Washington lawyer the other
day, speaking of the Manhattan well
crime, lin the paragraph that descrIb-
sd Aaron Burr's dramatic act in hold
-ng a pair of lighted candles in the
face of a spectator in the courtroom
and shouting, Gentlemen, here is the
real murderer I do not question this,
sut I remember that Jere Clemens,
once a famous United States senator
from Alabama, told of trial in which
Burr appeared for the defense OF
man charged with murder Ny recol-
lection is that the trial was in the
southwest When Burr addressed the
jury it was night The guilty man
was in the room He had been the
principal witness for the prosecution
but Burr had learned that this witness
was the assassin, and in closing his
address for his client he picked up two
lighted candles from the table and
holding them in the face of the wit
ness referred to, he exclaimed: Gen
tlemen of the jury, there is natures
verdict Now write yours. At that
moment the witness fed from the
room After Clemens told this story
he wrote an historical novel called
The Rivals; or, The Times of Hamil-
ton and Burr In that book he wove
the incident into one of the chapters.
The book is out of print and has been
for many years. But it had great
sale, particularly in the south, before
the civil war, for Clemens was a typ1-
raj southern orator, and a man of
wonderful personal magnetism The
object of the novel was to make Burr
hero, and to besmirch Hami1ton's
character In one chapter where Burr
was high in the esteem of Washin gton,
the latter is represented as reading
letter from Hamilton in which Hami1-
| ton detailed some ScandalOus gossip
! about Burr Burr was standing behind
| Washington during the reading of the
letter Washington incensed at the
| contents of the letter, turned quickly
and saw Burr, to whom he said: How
dare you read my letter over my
| shou1der?' Burr, as Clemens repre-
| sents, stung to the quick, drew him
| self up and replied with all the haut-
eur of his nature: When your majes-
| ty addresses such inquiry to me in
| the manner you have, the only reply
| deceny can prompt is, Aaron Burr
| dares to do anything. This, Clemens

Hon Clifford Sifton, Minister of the
Interior, Ottawa, Canada-Sir: Think
ing that my experience in Manitoba
might be both useful and interesting
to my felIow-countryme in the United
States who may be looking to Mani
toba and the northwest with the in
tentiOn of settling there, have much
pleasure in stating that through in
formation received from Mr.. W. F.
McCreary, immigration commissioner
at Winnipeg, 1 was induced to visit
Manitoba in February, 1898. When I
called upon Mr.. McCreary he spared no
pains to give me all the information.
etc. in his possession, the result of
which was that 1 came here with a
letter of introduction from him to the
secretary of the Virden Board of
Trade. That gentleman provided me
with competent land guide and
although there was considerable snow
on the ground, 1 had difficulty in
selecting three homesteads for myself
and sons. Having made the necessary
homestead entries at the land Office in
brandon, L returned to my home in
Lyon county, Minnesota, and came back
here in May following accompanied
by one of my boys, bringing with US
two teams of horses. implements, etc
Our first work was to erect a tempo
rary shanty and stable, after which
we broke and leveIed seventy-fve
acres and put up thirty tons of hay
I went back to Minnesota about July
20, leaving my son here I returned
in October, bringing my family with
me. found that the land we had
acquired was of good quality, being
a strong clay loan with clay subsoil.
Last spring I sowed 100 acres in wheat
and fifty acres in oats and barley
(Seventy-five acres of this grain was
sowed on &tgo-back'' pIowed last
spring) My crop was thrashed in
October, the result being over 2,70O
bushels of grain in all Wheat aver
aged fifteen bushels per acre and
graded No. L hard, but that which was
sown on land other than sod ego
back'O went twenty four and One-half
bushels per acre.
To say that I am well pleased with
the result of my first years farming
operations in Manitoba does not ade-
quately express my feelings, and I
have hesitation in advising those
who are living in districts where land
is high in price to come out here, if
they are willing to do fair amount
of work. 1 am ten miles from Vfrden,
which is a good market town, and nine
miles from Hargrave, where there are
two elevators. This summer 1 erected
bought a half-sectiOn of land adjoin-
ing our hOmesteadS, for which 1 paid
a very moderate price. There are still
some homesteads in this district and
land of fine quality can be purchased

rarely shut a door, and the windows,
covered with paper, which soon be-

adapted to excluding the light than
the cold. The people suffer frightfully

No "Brlars Papee,

The briar pipe is not made of briar-
wood at all The word "briar'' is a
corruption of the French word '-bruy-
ere," meaning heath and the wood
used is really that of the heather.
When these pipes were introduced into
this country the tradesmen found that
the French word was rather too diff
cult for the ordinary smoker to get
hold of, and they soon twisted it into
the familiar briar. The supply of this
weed from France is now almost ex-
hausted and is only found in any
quantity in the Alpes Maritimes.

Eating and Weight

It has been ser5 sly asserted by

lighter after a meal, and they have
even gone the length of explaining this
by the amount of gas that is developed
from the food. Average observations.
however, show that we lose three
pounds and six ounces between night
and morning; that we gain one pound
and twelve ounces by breakfast; that
we again lose about Il ounces before
lunch; that lunch puts on an average
OF one pound; that we again lose dur
ing the afternoon an average OF 10
ounces; but that an ordinary dinner
to healthy persons adds two pounds
