AUTHORS
Sometimes Write Passages They Them
selves Cannot Aftsrwsrd ExpOund.

Two curious literary anecdotes
may be found in Lord Nelson's pages,
says the London Chronicle. One tells
us that Keble's famous wedding
hymn, "The Voice That Breathed
Ger Eden" was written as a protest
against the divorce act. The other
states that the"angel faces" Of New
mans famous hymn refer to Some
visions in his youth which used TO
rejoice his heart" There is a tradi-
ton that Newman in his old age was
asked what he had meant by the lines
in question, and explained that no
doubt he had meant something in
particular, but that he had quite for
gotten what it was. When a similar
question was put to Browning he is
said to have referred the inquirer to
the Browning society, who could tell
him all about it.
Some Gottingen students who had
a keen admiration for Klopstock-
the German Milton found one of
his stanzas unintelligible, and begged
him to explain its exact meaning to
them. The poet read the stanza-
then carefully reread it-then read
it again, while all looked on with bat
ed breath. AT last he spoke: lean
not recollect what / meant when |
wrote it, but l do remember that ii
was one Of the finest things l ever
wrote, and you cannot do better than
to devote your lives to the discovery
of its meaning" This was pretty
good for a modest man, but the finest
repartee Of the kind is that attributed
to old Jacob Boehme, the shoemaker
and mystic. Certain disciples came
to him on his deathbed, implorinq
him to expOund a difficult passage Of
crucial Importance in his philosoph.
ical system. my dear children, be.
gan Boehme, after wrestling in spir.
it for a time, when / wrote this l un.
deEtood its meaning, and no doub.
the omniscient God did. He may still
remember its meaning, but l hay,

A German GRIMM al Catcher.

Herr Eugen Fass has hit upon an
elaborate method Of alarming the in
habilants Of a town whenever any
great crime has been committed, in
order TO prevent the escape Of the
criminal. His idea is to erect in all
the most public parts Of the town
booths containing a table, writing
materials, telephone and electric
bells, and in front a large board fol-
the display Of notices. AS soon as a
cpme is committed a bell is set ring
ING, which calls the nearest police
man, who is informed telephonically
If the details, and these he promptly
writes down and places them on tn,
display board, 50 that he who rum
maj read. Plus, within a few min
utes Of the preparation Of a crime
apublie hue and cry is raised, which i
Is hoped may end speedily in the cap
ture Of the criminal.

FIND PROFIT IN Tears.
Swindlers Don't Believe 1t Pays to
Wear Smiling Faces.


Laugh and the world laughs with
you, weep and you weep alone" Is
hIacy so far as the criminal worlds
concerned. 1t is said that no matter
how long or how Loudly a man is able
to laugh he is never so formidable
criminal as he who can weep at will.
The arrest in Chicago Of c. B. La
Sslle, Of Kalamazoo, Mich, calls at
tention to this fact in criminal psy-
chology. La Sale, who ordinarily
vas Of a cheerful, happy turn Of
mind, was accused Of no wrongdoing
so long as he c%ontented himself with
smiling. But whenever he wept CO.
piously there was always an after
nath Of accusations Of forgery. Ac-
cording to Bowman & Co., private
bankers in Kalamazoo, La Sales un-
usual facility in weeping while tell
ing his tale Of woe was responsible
for the ease with which he secured
meney illegally.
Ii is a notorious fact known to all
good detectives, says the Baltimore
American, that the woman criminal
most difficult to convict is she who
obtains money by preying upon the
sympathies. She a always cry, and
cry well, and, far from weepinga alone,
she gets her auditor to weep with her,
ard then gets the money. The sud
den death OF a relative, who, in fact,
never existed; the coming due Of a
mortgage, which exists only in the
imagination; sickness in a household
which has no being, and any number
Of such devices with which pity is
aroused are her best cards.
But If a woman who can cry is a
dangerous criminal when she turns
into paths Of crime, the man who can
weep is twice as dangerous.
The worst part Of it IS that after
the police have arrested the weeping
criminal the prisoner does not lose
the power to cry, and With his or her
wonderful power Of showing emo
tion which does not exist and Of sim
rlating contritiOD amid bursts Of
grief, that power is often potent
enough to make the complaining wit
nesses relent.

into which Napoleon |. fell one day
as he was at dinner. he had scarce
partaken of a mouthful when appa-
rently some inopportune thought or
recollection stung his brain to mad
ness, and, receding from the table
without rising from his chair-his
small stature permitted that-he up
lifted his foot-dash! went the table,
crash! went the dinner, and the em-
peror sprang up, intending to pace
the room. Quick as a flash his wait

An ARCTIC
Life Story of a Woman Of the Host
Northerly Indian Tribe.

Lie S1o1y OF q woman Of the AuVat
Northsrly Indian Tribe.
Mrs. Chris Sonniksen has left San
Jose for Dawson City. She goes by
way of Nome, and thence up the river
to the northern Ell Dorado. The go
ing Of Mrs. Sonniksen, says the San
Jose (Cal) Mercury, was not ehron-
iclcd in society events because she is
a full-blooded Chug-Chi, the most
northerly tribe of Indians on the
American continent.
Mrs. Sonniksen was never south OF
the arctic circle until she married,
and until one year ago she was never
out of the Land Of the Midnight Sun
in her whole 3S years Of life.
Mrs Sonniksen was born in the ex-
IRENE northern end of the American
continent. She had many times been
to Siberia, had fshed and hunted the
seal and the walrus in the Kamschat-
kan sea, hut nueyer until she met
Chris. Sonniksen, miner and fortune
seeker, who left Denmark many years
ago, had she been as far south as the
arctic circle. A year ago she came
clear out Of the land Of cold and ice
to the sunniest land on all the
earth. She brought the body Of her
dead husband to jacksonville for buri-
al. Afterward she took up her resi-
dence on Cinnabar street, in San
Jose, for the purpose Of educating
her children, who have been attend
ing the Longfellow school for the
past four terms.
Mrs. Sonniksen during her resi-
dence here learned English. It was
IL years ago that her husband left
jacksonville and San Jose for the
north. He encountered the luck Of
all fortune-seekers until the gold
strike on gravel claims vas made at
Dawson City. He was M Of the
originol lccators Of a claim On Do
minion croot and when he died he
left a lors estimated at 100000
to bis squaw widow.
n was years previous to the Klon-
dixie excitement that Sonniksen met
his wife. He was then trapping and
prospecting in the very far north.
A descendant Of the Norsemen, lati-
tude had no scares for him. Hespent
a winter al Point Barrow, and there
began the courtship with the woman
who bore him his children and is now
managing his estate.
In the course Of his career in the
north Sonniksen became impressed
with the idea that vegetables could
be grown in the arctic regions. AS q
reward for his Investigations, it may
be said a large vegetable farm neal
Dawson City is among the most val
liable assets Of the widow.
Mrs. Sonniksen experienced nc
difficulty with the California climate
She was hale and hearty Throughout
her residence there, and never for
moment complained Of her change O.
latitude. She expects to return mex
year, and will then become a perman
ent resident. She leaves her two
children, who are attending school.

WORTH OF BABIES.
A Difference of Opinion on Subject
Seems to Have Developed.


A little daughter Of j. Ogden Ar
mour, Of Chicago, suffered from dis
location Of the thigh joint from birth,
and was unable to walk. Many doc
tors were consulted and it was the
general opinion that the only relief
was by a surgical operation, which
the parents were 10th to allow. An
Austrian specialist, who has had
much success in reducing this
trouble without the use of a knife,
was sent for and came from his home
in Vienna, and performed the oper-
alton recently and his fee is said to
be $3.50, O0O., DR.. Lorenz then per
formed the same operation on other
children, Is OF more, in the hospitals,
and made no charge. 1t is evident
that the Armours value their az
hicted child at larger figures than
some recent valuations Of babies fixed
by the courts in suits for damages
for example the following:
June, 1s90-Jury in city Of New
York allowed Charles B. Morris
for the death OF his son........... 500
November, i90l-Justiee Gummere,
OF New Jersey, said that no baby
was worth more than one dollar,
and therefore allowed Abraham
T. Graham for the death OF his
f~ive-year-old boy ............... $40
November, l92-Jury IN New York
city allowed Lawrence Wilson
for the death Of his n~ve-year-old
son t1V.V
