Browning's Family Devotion


People who praised or loved or no
ticed Browning's only child found tn,
direct road to his heart. Even thost
who only spoke with him Of "Pen'
were at once his friends and worthy
of attention and interest. He said tt
me many years ago while awaiting
anxiously the result of his sons ear
nest art studies:
do you know, dear friend, if the
thing were possible, l would renounct
jail personal ambition and would de
stroy every line | ever wrote if by 50
doing l could see fame and honoI
heaped on my Roberts head"
What a proof are these words Of an
intense nature devoid of all egotismI
In his boy he saw the image Of the
wife whom he adored, literally adored,
for as l felt, the thought of her as ar
angel in heaven was never out Of his
mind. He Wore small gold ring on
his watch chain. "This was hers" he
said. Can you fancy that tiny fin
ger? Can you believe that a woman
could wear such circlet as this? II
is a child's."
The only other souvenir on his chain
was a coin placed there years ago, the
date 1S48, piece Of the first money
struck by MANN in Venice to record
the freedom from Austrian dominion
81 love this coin," he said, "as she
would have loved it. You know what
she felt and wrote about united Italy,

COUNTY COURT.
Two Interesting Local Gases.

"O AHhcECHtiHS AoCaA SbBts.
The court house was center of great
interest last week owing to tie fact that
| two much discussed local cases were on
trial. The first case, Of state vs.. Frank
P. Corcoran, charged with keeping a
bucket shop, occupied from Tuesday until
| Friday. Mr.. CorcOran was manager OF
the Metropolitan Stock Exchange local
| branch from January to June, 1900
| Alexander Dunnett and Frank D. Thomp-
son appeared for the state, and May &
Simonds and J. P. Lamson OF Cabot for
| the respondent. The history of this case
is too well known to need repeating, but
! it is of unusual interest because it is the
first case of the kind to come before a
Vermont jury, although the matter has
been in the courts several times during
the past few years. The witnesses in the
case were for the most part well-known
business men who were patrons OF the
office here for the purpose Of trading in
stocks or obtaining quotations on stocks
or produce. Mr.. Corcoran was on the
stand several hours in his own behalf.
Strong arguments were made on both
sides and the case went to the jury Fri
day afternoon, and a verdict of not
guilty was returned Saturday morning.
Mr.. Corcoran Immediately returned to
Boston, where he is now employed.
The case of state VS.. N. R Switser
charged with furnishing liquor was next
taken up and the examination of wit
nesses occupied the remainder of the day
and Saturday forenoon. The case went
to the jury about three O'Clock and
verdict of not guilty was returned late
in the evening. The evidence in this case
showed that on a certain night in Octo-
Der a party OF young men, including Mr..
Switser, gathered in room at the St
Tohnsbury House and that a bottle of
liquor was wholly or partly drank. The
state endeavored to fix the guilt of fur
nishing the liquor on the respondent,
claiming that collection for the purpose
of purchasing it was taken and that be
went to the Avenue House and procured
it. There was little evidence to substan-
tiate the theory, however, and the
verdict was foregone conclusion to all
who watched the progress of the trial.
The state was represented by F. D.
Thompson, and w. W. Miles of Barton;
the respondent by Dunnett & Slack.
The jury has been dismissed and the
court is now occupied with court cases.
The divorce case of Rosa Jane Dunn of
Groton against Fred Dunn of Ryegate
was heard yesterday but no decision was
rendered.
In the afternoon divorce was granted
Fannie Green of Danvile, from Elmer
Green for desertion and failure to sup
port.

A Story of Gladstone,

Once in Gladstones later life when a
question Of great delicacy and difficulty
was coming on in the house of com.
mons and everybody expected to see
him watchful and alert and perhaps
fidgety over it he deliberately com.
posed himself to sleep on the treasury
bench and enjoyed a refreshing nap
till the time came for him to speak,
when, with no apparent effort, he
awoke, delivered a speech in which he
said exactly what was needed and not
a word more and sat down, leaving his
opponents so puzzled by the safe and
guarded generalities in which he had
half expressed and half reserved his
views that the subject dropped in a
short time because no one could find in
his words anything to lay hold Of. 1t
was often remarked that the greater
the emergency the more composed and
the more completely equal to it did he
seem.

The Chaperon In Samoa.

The chaperon is an important person
in Samoa. She is the constant COM
panon OF the taupou, or village guide,
who is appointed to entertain stran-
gers and show them the various sights.
Each village in Samoa elects a girl for
this office, and it is necessary that she
should be the daughter of a chief.
Her house is provided for her by the
village, and she is surrounded by a
court of native girls. No man who
lives in the village is allowed to enter
the sacred precincts, and the taupou
goes nowhere without an elderly WON
an. If the taupou resigns her office,
the chief can appoint another damsel
