fixed in a manner common in the dis
sectihg room. The autopsy showed
that an assault had been committed
upo@ the murdered woman.
A dapper little man named Theo-
dere Durrant came to he suspected of
the crime. AS far as any one knew
he was a model youth, an assistant SUI
perintendent of the Sunday school, an
earnest and enthusiastic Christian En-
deavOrer. He was SO devoted to the
affairs Of the church that he was
puttering around the building cOntin-
Waliy, attending to the electricity and
doing all sorts of odd jobs. He was a
student at the Cooper medical college
and a member of the national guard.
The evidence showed that Miss La
mOnt, who was most circumspect
young woman, left the hCSCe of her
uncle, c.. G.. Noble, on April 3. went
to the church and was not again seen
alive 1t is supposed that Durrant
meG her there and killed her. George
King the organist, saw him in the
chNrCh at p. m. on that day. He
was pale, excited and dishevelled and
said that he had been overcome by
escaping gas. That night, while the
body of his victim lay in the belfry,
DurTant went to prayer meeting in the
church. Their he met Mrs. Noble, the
murdered girls aunt, and expressed
surprise that Blanche was not pres
ent Mrs. Noble by that time was I'M
easy at the girls absence.
DBrrant offered his services in try
ing to find her. He first awakened
suspicion by suggesting to her aunt
that she had run away with lover.
A few days later Durrant offered for
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1901-12-30

was there, the intention being to es-
tablish an alihi.
An interesting feature of the case
was the question Of the shape of Dur
rants fingers. Upon the neck Of the
girl were finger marks showing the in
dentations of square-cut nails. 1t was
shown that the prisoner had square,
blunt fingers, and that likely enough
they were his hands that choked the
breath out of her.
Much of the evidence had reference
to the movements of the principals in
the tragedy on the day of it's occur
renee. Bit by bit proof was piled on
proof and the simultaneous presence
of Miss Lamont and of the prisoner in
the church was demonstrated.
For the guidance of the jury they
were taken to the belfry where the
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1901-12-30

body lay. Durrant accompanied them
He stood in the little room where
Minnie Williams was choked and
gashed to death, and he passed up
the narrow staircase through which
he had dragged the body of Miss La
mont, but in that trying ordeal his
nerve and assurance did not desert
him. He even smiled as he brushed
from his neat clothes the dust and
cobwebs which touched him in the
belfry
A model of the church was used in
evidence in court A French doll
with movable joints was also one Of
the legal exhibits. The witnesses
used it to illustrate the position in
which the body had been found. Then
there was a lay figure on which they
hung the dead girls clothes, so that
those who had seen her pass towards
her death in the church but who did
not know her by sight might refresh
their memory as to her appearance.
Her rings, slippers, her prayer-book,
hat and glove lay on the prosecutors
table, and they all did their part in
weaving round Durrant the meshes Of
evidence that he was a -blooded
assassin.
The defense pinned it's faith upon
the absence of any one who had seen
the prisoner kill the girl, and in the
& ibi of the Cooper medical college.
Not one Of the seventy students who
attended DR.. Cheney's lecture on the
afternoon Of April could say that he
saw Durrant there, but his name was
On the roll-call, and great emphasis
was Laid on that fact. 1t was proved,
however, that the same roll contained
the name of at least one man who
wasn't anywhere near the lecture
room. Then the defense threw out
vague hints that perhaps Parson Glib.
son knew something about the k'1i;lg,
but this entirely fell through, and was
simply a case of a little Embarrassing
to cOvere retreat.
The women Of San Francisco were
much wrought up by the trial, and
many threats were made to kill Dur
rant. Large crowds attended the
court house, and they grew so violent
in their demonstrations against the
prisoner that at times it was hard to
control them. Durrant was finally
executed.

TALENT AND CHARACTER.
Max O'ReiI Says the First Is Desir-
able, the Second Necessary.

wax OXEN says the First Is DeSir-
able, the Second Necessary.
Talent helps a man to obtain sue
cess, but it is character which secures
it for him. A man will succeed with
character and very little talent, and
will never succeed without character
whatever talent he may have at his
disposal.
By character l mean honesty, steaGi-
industry, sobriety self-control, re-
liability and strict punctuality. The
man who possesses these qualities
need not leave the old world and try
new countries to get a better chance
in life; wherever he goes, wherever he
happens to be, he is bound to be sue
cessful, simply because he is wanted
Indispensable, everywhere.
No one wants shrewdness without
honesty, or diplomacy without sim
cerity.
When you are in the presence of a
man who for many years has been a
great success in life, take it for grant
eG that you have before you a steady,
sincere, honest and reliable man.
Whateve~ talent he may possess is
Of no use to him unless that talent is
the servant of his character, and you
will find that this holds good, no
matter what the pursuit in life of that
man, whether he is man of business
an employer or an employee, or a pro.
fessional man, lawyer, doctor, journal
list, artist, literary man, actor.
It is owing to the absence of charac-
ter that great geniuses have been
known to die in poorhouses. 1t is on
account Of their character that men
with little talent have died million
aires, and most respected ones. too
1t is not the cleverest boy of class
who is at the top; it is generally the
one who has the strongest character.
OF course, if he has both genius and
character, he stands beyond competi-
ton That goes without saying.
There is no luck in life. Luck is OF
our own making. Luck means rising
at 6 in the morning, living on 81 day

The Joker Joked.


A leading tobacconist of this city
has choice lot of loaded cigars in
his stock. Recently one of his Gus
toners happened in and as he was
about to leave, Mr.. Tobacconist hand
ed him one of the loaded stOgies, re-
marking that he could pass it on to
one of his friends and have some fun
The customer walked up the street
and soon went into the place Of a we'll
known business man whom he told OF
the transaction.
"Give it to me-" said the latter, ''and
| will have some fun with MIN"
The cigar was handed over and
later the business man went dow To
the store of the tobacconfst.
Look here - said he. 81 met a
fellow up street who gave me this
cigar. He claims it is pure Hava-
ma. [ examined it closely and dis
puted his statement, and, knowing
that you are a good judge of a cigar
we've decided to leave it to YOU"
The purveyor of the fragrant weed
lit the cigar and began to puff on it.
After he had got within a short dis
lance of the load, he remarked that
the stogy was not Havana at all. Just
then the explosion came-and well
we will draw a curtain of charity over
the rest of the scene. Mr.. Tobacco
mist didn't feel any better when told
that he cigar was the very one he had
given his customer to havo coma finn
with.

if you make two, minding your own
business and not meddling with other
peoples; luck means the hardships
and privations which you have not
hesitated to endure, the long nights
that you have devoted to work; luck
means the appointments you have
never failed to keep, the trains you
have never failed to catch; luck
means trusting in God and in your
own resources, a religion whose motto
is Help yourself and Heaven will
help you" Luck comes to those who
help themselves and know how 70
wait.
If you are successful all the social
failures will howl at the top of their
voices that you have always been
lucky. You may certainly be lucky
for a short time, but you cannot al
ways be lucky, any more than you
can always be unlucky. The man who
plays cards every day Of his life will
tell you at the end Of the year that he
has been lucky as many times as he
has been unlucky.
This is a mathematical law, fatal
law. The only way to be lucky at
cards oftener than unlucky is to
cheat; that is to say, to force your
