Springfield, Mass, April Twill
love make spendthrift of Chatles
H. Smith, who, though a million
aire, has lived in comparative pow
erty for thirty years?
Smith was born in Hartford, the
son of Erastus Smith, who made q
lucky strike in the California gold
fields and died in 1873, leaving $2,-
600, 900 to his son, who was then
three years old. For thirty years
the money has been on deposit in
Hartford banks.
Smith lived during his minority
with an aunt, of frugal disposition.
The common school suhced for his
education. For fifteen years he has
been a laborer. His wages have
never exceeded $1.5O a day, and he
has worked for $15 a month and
board. All these years Smith has
been adding to his savings. Once
when hard pressed he drew 50 from
the bank.
Six months ago Smith came to
Springfield to assist w. T. Fortier,
a blacksmith. He engaged board
with Mrs. Timothy Dooley, wild
ow, and soon became smitten with
her charms. It was his first expe-
rience of the kind and he began to
spend his money.
He bought a piano last week. 1t
cost $4GO, but Smith didn's vince.
He bought a horse and rubber
tired canopy top buggy, furniture,
up-te-date clothing and even trink-
cts. Then his courage rose to the
point of asking Mrs. Dooley to be-
come Mrs. Smith. The widow ac-
cepted the offer without hesitation.
Smith bought yesterday a $4,000
farm in Feeding hills, six miles
from Springfield. Before settling
down he intends tovisit New York.
He is stranger in the metropolis,
but with abundant funds at his dis
posal hopes to be able to see the
sights.

PAYS CHICAGO TRIBUTE.
British Consul In That City Gives
Glowing Account of the Pros
perity Prevailing There.

The British consul at Chicago, W.
Wyndham, in his annual report on Chi
cago and the whole consular district,
gives a glowing account of the great
and increasing prosperity thereof and
pays high tributes to American meth
DDS. He expresses the opinion that the.
progress of the country is largely due
to "the opportunity both in business
and in employment in this large, young
country, the encouragement given to
workmen, the rewarding of merit, the
intimate acquaintance of the heads of
firms with the work of their subordi-
mates, the keen enthsuiasm shown by
the workmen in the interests of their
lessness ON the part. of the business
man in venturing on experiments
either in machinery or system that may
be brought before him."
Mr.. Wyndham urges the Importance
of careful study of the business and
manufacturing meth DDS of the United
States and the adoption of those which
are suitable to the country where trade
is sought for. He considers that such
study is indispensable to holding
trade where English merchants are
active. This study must, however, be
prolonged for several months, as
short stay of a day or two in the big
cities, so often deemed sufficient by
European visitors, is "worse than use
less, as anyone not accustomed to
their ways at first only sees the bad
points and learns nothing"

HIS TIME WAS NOT up.
And Father Made Him Take on His
Good Clothes and work An
other Half Day.

a man OF a mercenary spirit had several
sons, one of whom was on the eve OF his
twenty first birthday. The father had al
ways been a strict disciplinarian, keeping
his boys well under parental charge, allow
ing them few liberties and making them
work hard, relates Youths Companion.
1t was with feeling of considerable sat
isfaction that the young man rose on the
morning of his birthday and began to collect
his personal belongings preparatory to start
ing out in the world.
The farmer, seeing his son packing his
trunk, which he rightly judged to be evil
dence of the early loss of a good farmland,
stopped at the door of the young man. ;
room and asked what he was going to do.
The boy very promptly reminded mis- faith
er OF the day of the month and the year, and
declared his intention of striking out in the
world on his own account.
Not much you won't" shouted the old
man, lat least not for awhile yet. You
wasn't born until after u o'clock, so you
can just take off them good clothes and fix

aged IS. and whose home is in Festus, says:
For many years l was failing in health.

DOG REVEALS A MURDER.
Party to Neyv-1Iade Grave
of Master.

How dog led to the discovery of his
masters murderer was told at the
Haute Seine assizes in Paris the other
day, when an Italian woodcutter
named Cassineili was put upon his
trial
On November 10, 1902, Cassinelli,
called at the house of his employer,
Jean Bonati, and asked for his wages.
Nine. Bonati said she was surprised he
had not seen her husband, as he had
gone to look for Cassinelh in the for
est. Next day the woodcutter re-
turned. saying that he had spent the
day in a fruitless search for his en-
ployer. A party was organized to
search the wood for Bonati, and with
those who Joined in the expedition was
Cassinelh and the missing mans dog.
About two hours walk from Chew
aline, in the heart of the forest, the
dog suddenly left the party. Cassinelli
tried to induce the searchers to take
another direction, but the dogs man
ner was Sc peculiar, and he indicated
so plainly that he was following q
scent, that the party decided to- be
guided by the animal. Then the Ital-
ian burst into tears. The dog ran up
broad slope, stopped short in
thicket. and commenced to scratch a
heap of leaves and moss. Willing hands
aided the animal, and in few mo-
ments the corpse of the unfortunate
Bonati, bearing ten terrible knife
wounds, was laid bare.
Cassine1li was accused of the crime,
and the jury brought in verdict find
ing him guilty of assassination, with
generalization, followed by robbery,
but according him extenuating circun-
stances. He was sentenced to penal
servitude for life.

sweeping the ground at the back, while
the all-pervading shapeliness of plaits
effects a stability Of structure alto

can be induced to serve the dual end OF
foundation and petticoat. A proce-.
dure wherein lies economy.
Turning to blouses, 1eteus examine
the two shown in the engraving, and
which, to my mind, are among the
choicest models shown in the shops,
and both of them are designed in our
own country.
The morning affair to the left is an
original design for new spotted de-
laine that boasts a woven border, over
which we are all going little crazed.
There is a positively endless array of
designs and colorings; but we Will be

spotted with a soft rose, the border re-

at once apparent to the intelligent
how the modelling skill lies in the dec

itself firstly to becoming cascaded

Verdict Against a Prominent Grand
Rapids Society Man.

Grand Rapids, Mich. October 80
Miss Henrietta Adams, of Caseville,
Mich, was today given a verdict of
$50, 900 against Robert Stuart Baker. a
we'll known young society man of this
city for breach of promise The trial
has been one Of the most sensational in
the history of western Michigan. The
romance which led up to Bakers pro-
posing marriage to the young woman
began when both were students at Oil
vet college. Several hundred letters
written to Miss Adams by Baker were
read in court and a numbe from the
young woman to the defendant were
also introduced as evidence. Bakers
letters were. many of them, very SEN
sational and improper.
The jury decided that Baker fraudu-
lently made the contract of marriage,
with the purpose Of seduction and that
he afterwards ratified it with the same
purpose.
