Tobin to get away when Tobin rushed
into the kitchen of the restaurant and
came back moment later with a large
cleaver, which the Chinese cooks used
in making chop suey.
Then, according to McAnierney, Tobin
proceeded to cut off Crafts head The
bartender went back and sat there try
ing to get his courage back All the
time he heard noises down in the cellar,
and realized that Tobin was cutting the
body up. McAnierney says that he stood
1t as long as he could, and that he then
made up his mind to notify the police.
Told Story to Police.
So he went to police headquarters,
where he told his story. Two detectives
were sent up 10 the Empire to investi-
gate. Three men were sent from the
West Thirtieth Street Station. The po-
licemen forced an entrance to the place
by the Chinese restaurant door and went
to the cellar door, through which the

smoke was caused by a fire in the fur

pipe There was a fearful odor, and
blood was spattered all over the cellar.
Here and there the policemen found
fragments of clothing.
At this time the fire in the furnace
was beginning to die out and Policeman
Cox saw a mans head. The policeman
got the head out. 1t had been only par

Sheehan. with several of his men and

that he had fled, but when Policeman
Siegler entered the dim Empire drink
ing room he thought he saw man on
a chair. He went back and found Tobir
pretending to be asleep. He shook To-

refused to say word.
Captain Sheehan tried to get some-
thing out of Tobin. but was also unsuc-
cessful. Kelly. the porter, who had been
picked up in the Chinese restaurant, de-

At the order of the coroner Tobin was
brought around to the house from the
station. The head and body were placed
before him and he was made to look at
them, but he never flinched. He de-
olined to say anything, but not once did
he show any sign of weakening. A
small dirk knife was found on him.
There was a small roll OF bills. $50 in
all, which the police say was the money
stolen from the body of Craft.
There was blood on Tobins clothing,
and there was also blood on McAnier-
ney's clothing, and Porter Kelly came
under suspicion because a letter ad-
dressed to the dead man was found ON
him.
Captain Sheehan decided to make
charge of murder in the first degree
against all three. Coroner Jackson |

The Fire of Love.

A minister said: Suppose, some
cold morning, you should go into a
neighbor's house and find him busy at
work on his windows, scratching
away, and should ask what he was
up to, and he should reply, why,
I am trying to remove the frost;
but as fast as I get it off one square
it on another Would you
not say, why, man., let your win
dows alone, and kindle your fire, and
the frost will soon come off? And
have you not seen people who try
to break off their habits one after
another without avail? Well, they
are like the man who tried to scratch
the frost from his windows. Let
the fire of love to God and man, kim
died at the altar of prayer, burn in
their hearts, and the bad habits will
soon melt away."-Selected.

preme moment. As a servant of Je-
hovah, faithful to the very end, he
was DESTROYS of winning the perma-
nent allegiance of the people to God,
whose blessing had so m~anifestly
crowned his own life.
Joshua first recounted the won
drous way in which God had led the
early pstriarchs. He next traced the
evidences of the divine presence and
power in the deliverance of Israel
out of Egypt. Then he called their
attention to the divine favor which
had been shown in giving them the
land of Canaan for their inheritance
and subduing the inhabitants there
of before them. Finally, he be-
sought them to choose the Lord as
their God and to serve Him in all
sincerity and truth.
A Wise Decision.-The issue was
fairly presented to the people of Is
rael; they knew that they must
choose between the gods of the Ca
naanites and the God of Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob. Joshua himself
led them.to the right decision, for he
declared Gas for me and my house,
we will serve the Lord" and with
these words ringing in their ears, the
people said, therefore, will we also
serve the Lord, for he is our God"
Our Constant Alternative.-The
same choice which was presented to
Israel is presented to us, and we must
continually decide whether we will
serve the Lord or worship the things
of the world. Our eternal destiny
depend upon our making the right
decision, and if we will but heed the
parting advice of Joshua, we shall
not hesitate to put ourselves on the
Lords side.

NOTES ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON FOR NOVEMBER Q.
JOshua's Parting Advice.
Joshua "a rs.


Golden Text.-Choose you this day
whom ye will serve. Joshua 24:15.
The last words of a great man are
always of interest to us, and it is,
therefore, with peculiar pleasure that
we take up in this lesson the final adj
dress of Joshua to the people of Is
rael.
The Career of Joshua.-There are
few lives in the Old Testament which
are more instructive to us, and con-
corning which we have such a full ac-
count, as in the case of Joshua. For
several weeks we have been following
his footsteps as IsraeI's leader in the
conquest Of Canaan, and the princi-
pal events of his life are still fresh
in our minds and so need no rehear-
sal here. F~aithfulness to the Lord
was inscribed, as it we're, owe every
portion of his career, and in the hon
ored old age which he enjoyed we
have an evidence of the fact that the
steps of a good man are ordered by
the Lord.
The Gathering at Shechem.-It
was now about twenty-five years
since the children of Israel had
crossed the Jordan River under
Joshua's leadership and begun to
take possession of the Promised
Land. The land was now fairly well
subdued, though the Canaanites had
not been completely destroyed, as the
Lord had commanded, but still re-
NAMED to vex and harass the Israel
ties in after years.
It was at Shechem that Joshua
called the people to meet him. This
was a spot already hallowed by many
sacred associations, for it was here
hat Abraham erected his first altar
in Canaan, and here also upon their
first entrance into Canaan the assem-
bled tribes of Israel had listened to
the solemn reading of the Law and
had heard tie accompanying bless
ings end cursings pronounced from
Mounts Ebal and Gerizim.
A Choice of Vital Importance

sembled the people was one of SUI

FEAST OF GOOD THINGS.

Prof. John Bach McMaster re-
Gently wrote to the editors of st.
Nicholas: "Thank you very heartily
for the pleasure and profit st. Nicho-
las brings to my boys"
Boys-and girls-are very much
alike the world over. The delight
and help that st. Nicholas is giving
to Professor McMaster's boys, and
thousands of other girls and boys,
it holds for every girl and boy who
can understand English.
Since the first number of st. Mich
olas was published, nearly thirty
years ago, many weekly and monthly
publications for children have come
and gone, but St. Nicholas still holds
it's place, the unrivalled "prince of
periodicals for young folks" It was
never more enjoyed by it's readers
than now, for in addition to the
usual serial stories, short articles,
etc., there is a department. called
"The St, Nicholas League" in which
the children themselves have an OPP
p~ortunity to take part. There are
said to be nearly fifty thousand chill
dren now belonging to the League,
and prizes are given out each month
for the best stories, poems, draw
ings and photographs SEN in by the
young members. Any reader of St.
Nicholas may become a member.
st. Nicholas announces for 1903
"The Story of King Arthur" written
and illustrated by Howard Pyle, a
companion story to his famous "Rob-
in Hood" but which readers of the
manuscript think surpasses that in
the strength and interest of the mar
rative and beauty of the illustra-
tions. Two short stories by Miss
Alcott, written for her own little
nieces and never before published,
will soon appear in St. Nicholas,
with other stories and articles by
the author of "Mrs. Wigs of the
Cabbage Patch" by Ruth McEnery
Stuart, Frank r. Stockton, Clara
Morris, and scores of other we'll
known writer's. St. Nicholas makes
a speciality of papers of informa-
ton, richly illustrated articles on
practical subjects, like the Navy
Yard, the Assay Office, etc.
The price Of St. Nicholas is three
dollars a year. The publishers an
nounce that new subscribers who be-
gin with January may receive the
November and December numbers
free, and so begin the volume and
get the commencement of all the
serials. The publishers are The Cen
fury Company, Union Square, New
York.

as he may desire it. You have benn in
Germany a week, more or less, when
the policeman calls. At first YOU can
not believe that he is really after you,
and then your mind runs back guiltily
over your past. He takes out his little
book-one of a small library Of little
books which he carries in his blouse
and inquiries your age. your nationality
and how long you intend to stay.
You learn subsequently that q record
Of every person in the empire is care

you move out. you must notify the po-
lice; If you hire a servant girl, you

when Time Hang. Heavily.

ASA u -
Time is never wasted until 1t 'hangs
heavily On our hands," when you are
neither working nor enjoying yourself.
There may be times when 1t suits
ones mood to loaf and invite ones
SOUL" but they are rare nowadays. If
you don't believe it, consider how the
average citizen spends his vacation.
Most people work harder and n
mize their vacation time more grudg-
ingly in getting the most out of it than
they do in any other part of the year.
They hate to lose a minute of enjoy
ment.
OF course there are times-every day
when time seems absolutely wasted,
and these are the times when mems
temDeis are on edge and things go
crosswise. Chief among this list of
wasted and monotonous intervals is
the time spent in waiting for u car, in
travelling on it after you get it. in wait
ing for meals. in Tuning over dilatory
appointments or by reaching there too
soon. Other instances are where the
bore buttonholes you and insists with
