humble domicile, and it was Jennie's

through the latest intelligence from

Most Remarkable Book in America.

The most remarkable volume ever
issued in This country has just been
published by the Peabody Museum of
American Archaeology and Ethnology
at Harvard. 1t is an exact facsimile,
in the colors of the original. of one of
the finest and best preserved ancient
Mexican manuscripts in existence
the long lost codeX owned by Lord
Zouche of Harynworth. This facsim
lie reproduction has been named the
CodeX Nuttall in honor of Mrs. Zelia
Nuttall, an honorary assistant of the
ence of the original after it had been
lost to view for centuries, traced it to
it's present English owner, spent
months in a careful study of it's con-
tents, directed the work Of reproduc-
ing it and has written a careful intro
duction which explains it's peculiari-
ties and text SO far as they are sx-
plainable in the light of modern arch
geological science.
The Codex Nuttall, like the other
examples of the same kind of picture
writing, is painted on strips of pre-
pared deerskin which are glued to-
gether in such way as to form a long
folded band, and so lasting are the
colors employed-which were made

He unhappily sank into the boiling
gulf but he was dead long before he
reached it, so that his sufferings were
less than had he been taken by the
Carabinieri. .
This is but one of the many exploits
Musolino recounts with pride.
His long and bony, yet athletic,
form might have served as a model
for a gladiator for the muscles pro-
trude like one of Michael Angeles

sallow countenance was pale with
crime, his eyes deep sunk and over
hung by thick, bushy eyebrows, emit

with the lan-as - =. {:

bourreau of Musolino.
''Have you no remorse for all the
murders you have committed"' the
court asked.
"Remorse," replied the iron-faced
wretch, as though he did not under
stand the meaning of the word.
Ought not good soldier to obey the
word of the commander? Whenever
the captain said kill l killed"
Ibid you kill many?" was the next
query.

nonchalance.
His eye lighted up, as he spoke,
with gloomy joy.
Profound silence reigned in the
courtroom. The judges shuddered and
turned from him as from a basilisk.

Aye" was the laconic response.

next question.

The eyes Of all sons of Italy, at home
and abroad, are directed toward the
notorious bandit, Giuseppe Musolino
who for months bafIied the troops sent
out to capture him, but who was at
last taken and has for two weeks been
on rial.
Fair women are composing ballads
in his honor, and from all parts of the
world letters omplimentary to the
prisoner are being sent to the Pro
curator of Lucca, where the trial is
held.
Musolino was captured on Oct. 16,
in the streets of Urbino. His career
as an outlaw is said to have begun two
year ago with his escape from prison,
to which he had been condemned-as
he held, eservedly-for the murder
of man who had stabbed him. He
vowed, it is said to kill the judge and
prosecutor, and the fifteen witnesses
who had procured his conviction, and
he is charged with the death of IL of
them.
For months he held large tract of
Calabrian territory in his grasp. His
mountain stronghold was blockaded,
but by the aid Of the peasants, with
whom he was very popular, especially
with the women, he made his way
through the Gordon of guards. Dis
guised as priest on his way to see
the bishop, he chatted affably with the
soldiers, and offered to execute COM
missions for their officers.
Now. after four months Of impertur-
able stoicism, the bandit has told the
story of some of his exploits.

justice done to me has taught me to
feel a hatred toward all mankind-a

But l am not brigand bent on

cause he hates him. because he has
been injured by him; because he is
the enemy of his clan.
