Lady Presented Them without Hurt
ing Girls Feelings.
Mrs. Anna Lyman, wife of Judge
Joseph Lyman, was fine type of the
New England woman of fifty years
ago. AS wife of Judge she was call
ed upon to do much entertaining, and
her parties were famous In Northamp-
ton. Her daughter. Susan Lesley. in
her memoirs Of Mrs. Lyman, writes
that no one ever declined going to Mrs.
Lyman's parties.
One day, as she was preparing for
an evening entertainment, she happen
ed to look out of the window and saw
young girl, whom she liked for hei
talents and good heart, but who, from
poverty, was not always able to go out
into society.
20 Sarah," called Mrs. Lyman. Il am
going to have party this evening. and
all the judges are to be here! ! want
you to come. my dear"
20 Mrs. Lyman" said the girl, look,
ing sadly down at her feet Il wish !

all out at the toes, and this is my only
pair"
"Well. Sarah." said Mrs. Lyman.
brightly, 'at least you'll help me get
ready for my party"
"oh, yes" replied the girl. quickly;
and she helped to good advantage, with
willing hands and good taste. When
the work was done Mrs. Lyman ac-
companied her home, holding her at
tention with cheerful talk.
Somehow. the girl hardly knew how,
they were presently In the best shoe
shop in the village. and when they left.
Sarah had a beautiful pair Of bronze
shoes. and ran gaily home to dress for
the party.

DIED IN PRISON.
Inventor of French Telegraphic sys-
tenn Met Sad Fate

Inventor of French Telegraphic sys-
tenn Met Sad Fate.
Only the other day there died on
Devils Island, the French convict set
tlement off Cayenne, the man who in
vented and patented the telegraphic
system now universally adopted in
France, and known as the multiple
transmission system. Victor Nimault,
20 years ago, was an electrical en-
plOye of the French telegraphlc service.
In 1871 he discovered and legally pro-
tected a system of multiple transmits
sion, on which he had been busted for
years. Almost coincidentally NJ. Bau-
dot mot an officiaB invented a some
what similar apparatus. This NJ. Bau-
dot being personal friend Of NJ. Ray
maud, the director of the Telegraphic
Department. found favor with that
gentleman, and the Baudot system was
finally accepted and universally adopt
ed as the better of the two. Victor
Nimault brought actions against NJ.
Baudot and M. Raynaud. and, after
losing lawsuit after lawsuit, fired at
and mortally wounded NJ. Raynaud.
The unhappy inventor was tried, SEN
fenced to Imprisonment for life, and In
due course was sent out to Cayenne.
Twenty years having elapsed, he was
recently pardoned by President Loubet.
A subscription made by his friends In
France left by the same boat which
took out his pardon. But 1t arrived too
late, for Victor Nlmault, who had been
Ill for some time, died the day before
port was made. The irony Of 1t all is
that poor Nimault's system has been
In use in France for many years now;
for. after he was sentenced, 1t was
found to be preferable to the one
adopted and approved by Raynaud, the
then director of the Telegraphic De
Dartment.

81 was never an atheist" said a
northern Michigander who was loafng
about a Detroit hotel the other day.
''but it used to make me smile to hear
people tell about Providence doing this
or that. I'll tell you why l quit smil-
ing.
~ had an interest In an oil well In
Pennsylvania, and one morning !
planned to get up at an early hour and
ride across country for eight miles with
teamster. l was up at the hour
named, but found that the fellow had
started off fifteen minutes ahead Of the
time set. My only recourse was to hire
blackboard, and while a man was
looking around for me and ! was eat
ing breakfast there came rumble and
crash. and l fed from the hotel. be-
lieving that an earthquake was on.
"Others thought SO, too, but In the
course of half an hour we got word
that 400 pounds of nitroglycerln which
was being hauled over the hill on a
wagon had exploded. More than that,
1t was the same wagon had missed
getting a ride on. went out with
others to view the spot, or rather the
hole. What they found Of driver, horses
and wagon you could have loaded on q
wheelbarrow. The hole made in the
highway was forty feet long. thirty
wide and twenty deep, and men, horses
and cattle for half mile around were
knocked silly"
"And you laid your escape to Provi-
dence, of coursep was asked.
"Well. Pm not exactly sure about
that" was the reply, according to the
Detroit Free Press. II told you ceased
to smile after that when anything was
mentioned about Providence, but was
never quite satisfied that a mistake
wasn't made"
what sort Of a mistake"
"Why, 1t wasn't three days after that
when our well played out, the COM
pany went into bankruptcy and I've
hardly been able to raise enough to pay
my street-car fare since. Sometimes it
seems to me that Providence stepped
In to save my life, and again 1t seems
as II she missed me on the explosion
and dropped the bottom out of that
well to get even. It's about an even
thing, | guess, but If you've got an
other cigar about you it'll tip the scale
little bit In favor of Providence and
help me to believe that was saved for
some useful purpose
