OLD HERMIT SPEAKS
Served in Prison for Another's
Crime.

PEORIA, Ill, Sept. 30.-Alexander
Holton, who disappeared from his home
near Rome, H.. about three weeks ago,
has returned, and the mystery of a
lifetime is unveiled.
Mr.. Holton, who is. past sixty years
of age came to Peoria county many
years ago and established himself upon
a small farm between Rome and Chilli
cothe. From that time he lived the
life of a hermit. However, his farm
prospered and he was known to be
Saving money" but no one knew
where it went, for he kept no bank ac-
count.
Early in September he disappeared.
About week later his anxious neigh
bors ventured to break open the door
of his cabin. With one exception they
found everything in order. Next to the
wall on one side a wide space of floor
ing had been torn up revealing a small
pit. The cavity was lined with thin
sheets of lead. There were marks upon
the lead like the impression of coins.
Many of the neighbors feared foul
play. Some even searched for the body
in the woods near his home.
Their apprehensions were removed
ty his temperance. At first he would
tell nothing, but finally the long re-
serve of years broke down and he re-
lated the romantic history of his life.
While still young man he had loved
a woman so fondly that rather than
bear the suspicion of crime he took
the blame upon himself. He served out
his sentence of two years in prison.
Then, coming West among strangers,
he undertook to earn and restore the
money which he had never stolen, in
order to set himself right with the man
who lost it. Many years passed be-
fore his aim could be accomplished.
Then, when he took the sum and re-
turned three weeks ago to his old
home in New York city, he found that
time had righted him. The old man
for whom the money was intended was
tottering upon the brink of the grave.
The girl whom he had loved had been
dead many years, but before her death
she had confessed. The old man would
not take the money, but, instead,
begged his pardon for the unintentional
wrong.
Il have learned that there are other
things in life besides love-" said Mr..
Holton, in conclusion. But now l
shall die satisfied"

NapoIeon's Character.

In character Napoleon may be said
to have been not SO much wicked as de-
void of moral sense The first princi-
pies of morality seem to have had no
place in his mind, and it is difficult to
see how they could have found en-
trance there. He had really no coun-
try, and consequently no patriotism.
Born Corsican and setting out with
bitter hatred Of France as the destroy
er of Corsican liberties, he never really
became a Frenchman. He never learn
ed to write the language, hardly to pro-
pounee it. France was the seat and
fulcrum Of his power, his throne and
the recruiting ground of his armies.
Whatever he might say in proclama-
tions, in. his moments of sincerity he
spoke of the French contemptuously as
people who were to be governed
through their vanity, which 1t was nee
essary to feed with perpetual course
Of victories. Domiciled in France, he
had consorted with a set of adventur-
ers as profigate as any that the world
has seen. The only sort of public mo-
rality with which he had ever been i'm
pressed was the fidelity of the soldier
to military duty.-Goldwin Smith In

THE "RouND ROBIN"
No One Knows Origin of the Strange
Term.

No One Knows Origin of the Strange
Term.
A "round robin" is one of those
documents of which the name is ia
miliar to most people, but which un-
commonly few have ever seen or
signed. Every one knows that the
thing which bears SO singular name
is a communication-lette remon-
STRANGE, warning or the like-the sig
natures to which are written around
the circumference of the circle which
ineloses the body of the epistle, or
radiating therefrom like the spokes Of
a wheel from a hub, so that the re-
sponsibility of signing is equally
shared. No one signatory can be 40
cused of being either the first or the
last to sign, of being the leader or the
whipper in.
The most famous example on record
probably is the remonstrance which
was sent to DR.. johnson in connection
with his epitaph on Oliver Goldsmith.
Latin, but some of his friends, who
had also been friends Of Goldsmith,
took exception to it on two grounds,
the first being that it did not quite do
Justice to the author of the Traveller"
as a writer, and particularly as poet,
and the second that it should be writ

were gathered around Sir Joshua

themselves in general agreement on
these two points, no one had the cour-

THE EXPERT CASTER.
Placing His Fly Is Not Mere Chance,
but "a Fine Art.

Placing His Fly Is Not Mere Chance,
but "a Fine Art.
The art of casting is in itself simple
and may be readily acquired by any
painstaking fisherman. The rod passes
only through a quadrant; it starts par
allel with the water and, coming to
the perpendicular, stops The motion
is quick, rigid jerk as fast as 1t can
be made, and the rod does the rest.
The motion forward is at the beginning
a gradual feeling for the tension of the
line-that Is, when it is about to
straighten. Once this is assured the
movement increases in rapidity from
butt to tip, the result being much the
same as driving at a peg with long
handled hammer-slow at the start
and quick at the finish, the bend of the
rod being first at the butt and gradual
ly ascending to the tip.
In casting nothing is left to chance
by the expert caster. He knows exact
ly where he wants to put his fly, with
in foot or two, and puts it there, the
feathered barb travelling past him at
from six inches to four feet above the
water. as he may elect, although 1t may
go above the shoulder if desired. In
some long casts one may see the fly
pass below the hip. Indeed the degree
of command one can gradually acquire
is really wonderful.
A single cast where fish are located
is, as rule, sufficient They will rise
at once, and if the fisherman is an ex-
pert at dropping his fly he can bring
fish to the spot from some distance.
One may frequently see fish attracted
from a point so far from the fly that
they break water two or three times
before taking the hook On the other
hand. fly awkwardly dropped will be
taken with leisurely grab, the fish
simply sucking it in, and the exhilara-
ton of spirited rise is lost The more
expert fisherman is at fly casting the
more thoroughly he enjoys the sport
