Was harneden with toll, rough aud

And the angel a diamond spear

had been examined as to his location
at the time of the murder and had
proved that within IA few minutes be-

the witness began to show signs OF a
terrible strain and at the last word fell
over in a heap.
This ended the investigation. 1t came
out that Edward Turner, after making
a new WILL had Informed his nephew
of the fact. telling him at the same
time that he thought he should destroy
the new one and leave the old one in
force. Turner called on him, found
him taking a cup of tea with no one
in the house, put the poison in the cup
when the old mans back was turned
and got back to his club. from which
he was not missed all within fifteen
minutes.
The will stood in favor of the muir
derer, but as Agatha was the only 9th

the property.

admiration and evoke the hatred of many
who opposed him, and to blazon upon the
tablets of history the repute of the greatest
manipulation of securities this country, if
not the world, has ever known.
To be sure, this man has had reverses-
some of them of such magnitude that they
would have crushed to quivering pulp

wheat corner he was sold out by associates
so that his losses from sunset to dawn were
prodigious; in the celebrated Hannibal &
st. Joe corner he was again betrayed to dis
aster. and one morning he woke up million

years ago. AT the present moment Mr..
Keene's fortune is estimated at many mill
ions of dollars.
Not all of this, however, has been ac-
cumulated by mere speculation. During
recent years Mr.. Keene has bent his en-
ergies principally to the rehabilitation Of
properties previously mismanaged, thus
actually creating values, and from being
manipulation of magic brilliancy, has
become an investor. His unerring judg-
ment has given him a large and conf
dent following in 1.-The street" and has
served to enrich many individuals who
have followed his leadership.
1t was to Mr.. Keene that the Morgan
Hill party intrusted their interests in striv-
ing for the control of Northern Pacific in
May, 1901 and it was to the same hands
that the marketing of the indescribably
vast U. s. Steel Corporation was confined.
In both instances the results were more
than merely satisfactory-they were
triumphal.
But Mr.. Keenes life has not been all
work and no play. He loves the thorough

from various parts of the world, especially
from Mexico, which is known to possess
many food plants that would be of much

Among the available Mexican vegetables
are various kinds Of peppers and several
species of tomatoes which are unknown to

chestnut, and is contained in a sort of de-

fruit is ripe, as a preliminary to cooking 1T.
1t is not good raw, but is said to be excel

preserve it as a sweet pickle.

THE VIRTUES OF WILD WATER.
The Little Brown Stream i'm the Hills
Has Tonic Properties.

James Buckham, in What to Eat.
Here under the pines and hemlocks glides
an amber-brown brook stained by the vege-
table juices OF deep swamps and decom-
posing layers of forest mold. Dip up
some of the water in glass; and it is like
clear old wine. whose last lees settled to
no taint of impurity in the darkness of its
coloring. Not even the crystal mountain
stream slipping down over granite ledges
and white sand is purer than this brown,
wine-like water. Nature has filtered IT,
and turned it over and over beneath the
sun and wind and rain, until it is as clear
and innocent as the air of the wilderness.
Even where the sun breaks through and
turns its tide to transparent old-gold you
may kneel and look in vain for any noat-

More About Radium.
Harper's Weekly.

Radum does not get its energy from the
air, as some scientists seem to suppose. but
very probably from changes within the at
oms of which it is composed. IL is believed
that these atoms are the heaviest in the uni
verse. 1t is possible that, after hundreds Of
thousands of years, radium may devolve
into simpler elements, and so pass right
through the series to hydrogen. Scientists do
not now believe that the elements are
really elemental. There is really one element.
But radium is its most remarkable form.
Great curiosity is being manifested in the
specimens now being publicly exhibited at
the London Natural History Museum-three
tiny grains in watchglass, shining as they
have done since before man appeared on the
earth. The camera exhibit seems to give the
most satisfaction. In IL some sulphide OF zinc
has been painted with radium, and In the
dark IL glows with a soft green light. This
part of the exhibit will not require renewal
for 10000 years. Other interesting metals In
the exhibit are thorium and helium. Thori-
um is the main ingredient OF the incandes-
