had a long piazza, spacious halls and
big rooms. Seen in summer, envi-
roned by the green foliage, it was
very cheerful and inviting, but in win
ter it's outward semblance was n
of gloom and melancholy. One could
easily imagine that it was hiding
some unpleasant secret behind it's
massive walls. On Irving Warde this
impression was deepened on the cold,
cherries morning of the inquest
when, in company with his friend,
the chief of police, he drove up the
carriage way. The murky sky seemed
somehow to have become entangled
in the uncanny arms of the black
trees, and the grayness of the earth
added to the cheerlessness.
An unusual commotion reigned
about the place. The negro servants
were in a furry of excitement and the
neighbors we're arriving in twos and
threes, ostensibly sad, but devoured
by curiosity. Each one present had
his own theory of the murder, and
d Sieab mdHy SidIulGous suspicious
were banded about in the crowd.
Warde was content to use his ears
and eyes while he waited develop
ments. Perhaps among those pres
ent stalked the bold perpetrator of
the crime. This thought made him
silent and watchful, and he soon be-
came absorbed in the contemplation
of some of those who had arrived.
Franklin also was there and taking
a marked interest in the inquest, for

lions in the way.

Ignore them, day by day.
Don't go signing: Eyes, tits pleasant just

If the worst is In the future and has been
there all the while,
We can keep it there by laughing till we
make the others smile.
II the worst is in the future let it stay
there. for we know
Ihats to-mOrrOw'S always threatening to
bring us so-and-so;
But Tomorrow with its sorrow never
comes within our gaze,
For all time is just a pageant of these
busy old to-days.
Let the worst stay in the future where 1t
has been, all the while!
We can keep it there by laughing till the
others start to smile.
When We look toward the sunset in the
gorgeous afterglow,
Let us thank the blessed Father for the
things we do not know;
Let us thank Him with all fervency that
He has never sent
Any burden quite unbearable; that, while
our backs nave bent
Underneath the load, we've had His arms
about us all The while
Let us laugh ava our troubles till the
whole world wears a smile!,
Let us laugh away the trouble, though
our eyes are dimmed with tears:
Let us laugh away the heartaches and
the worries and the fears;

The Wright place was one Of the
Oldest homesteads in the country, but
neither time nor war had dismantled
it of its old-time grandeur. The
sharper tints Of the dwelling had
been toned down, and there was left
the soft reposefulness and aristocrat-
ic old age. Good care had been taken
of it by the Wrights, who had kept
it in thorough repair and enhanced
it's interior decoration. The long
avenue, ~sentinelled by trees, leading
to the house, was scrupulously grav-
elled, the trees were trimmed with
care, and the lawn in summer was
as smooth and soft to the eye az
green silk.

EARTHQUAKES OF 1872.
Traces of Them Still to Be Seen I'm
Missouri, Where Recent Shocks
Have Occurred.

The earthquake shocks reported
the other day from the country ly-
ing about st. Louis recall the stories
of the great disturbances that took
place early in the past century out
in that part of the country, During
1811-none of the authorities on tan
h%ereabont seem willing to note the
exact date-shaking began in the
earth in New Madrid county, Missou-
ri, a region running about 300 miles
south from the mouth of the Ohio
river. The quaking continued until
March, 1912, says the Hartford Cour-
ant. 1t was curious and at times very
V The ground split in assures,
sometimes as much as half a mile
long; the surface rose in some parts
and sank in others so much so that
the river came in, and it is there to-
day. Scientific Investigators say it
was the longest disturbance of the
kind on record as occurring remote
from a volcano. A submerged and
swampy tract to-day marks its
field of activity. The cause, has, of
course, neve been discovered. and a
queer incident of its history is that
the commotion ceased March 26, 1912,
the same day that Caracas, away
down in South America, was de-
stroyed by an earthquake. For
months the shaking went on as reg
ularly as the ague on a new settler.
The people were terror-stricken, and
men of science were COMPOUNDED. But
for generations nobody thought of a
recurrence of the trouble. This agi-
tation, which sets plates dancing out
that way, must tend to make some OF
the old inhabitants a bit uneasy
themselves.

he talked a great deal with the coro-
ner and whispered with the chief of
police and the sheriff, and OCCASION
ally he could be seen interrogating
some person who appeared to have
a story to tell which might throw
light upon the tragedy.
When the coroner was ready to
take up the examination the crowd
repaired to the apartment where the
body had been deposited. There were
two parlors, which, by means of slid
ing doors could be merged into one
room almost large enough to accom-
modate those present. Those who
could not get in stood in the halls and
managed to hear the testimony.
None of the deceased's family was
present except the young man who
had given the police the information
about the murder. Under police SUR
veilance he wandered up and down
the hall pale and unhappy, apparent
ly absorbed in reflections by no means
wholesome. Curious eyes were often
turned toward him, and frequently
eyes that had another light than of
curiosity in them, but he seemed
oblivious to it all, although being
under arrest he knew that suspicion
pointed to him.
His mother and sister were said to
be very much unnerved by the trag-
edy and remained in their rooms I'M
til they were compelled to testify.
When the jurors had taken their
seats and everything was in readiness,
all examination of the body by the
coroner revealed the fact that Wright
had been shot in the back of the
head, and at close quarters, too, as
was evidenced by the powder burns
on the hair. And the inference was
unavoidable that the murderer had
been walking behind his victim, and
that the latter did not expect the at
tack. He must also have been fully
aware who it was that walked thus
behind him, for the squarensss with.
which the blows had been dealt
showed that he had not turned his
head in suspicion or curiosity.
The first witness examined was an
old negro, who was evidently in grave
doubt whether the coroner would
send him to Jail for life or order him
hanged on the spot should aught go
amiss with his testimony. His ter
ror gave an homogeneous element of
comedy to the serious business on
hand. He took his seat gingerly and
the began to question him.
What's your name?"
"London, sah." was the answer.
"London?" said the coroner, in sur
prise.
"Dat's my lame. Eff you doan bleeye
me you can ak de mistes eff hit amt.
done tole you de truf."
81 don't doubt that, old man." said
the coroner, REFRESHING with an Eff
fort an inclination to smile. "Now
tell us your last name"
wright, sab. I jes' calls myself
London Wright, sah."
"Well, London, we want to get out
of you what you know about this
MURDER
"Lordy, boss, I doan know nuthin'
bout it. I clar ter goodness I didn'
hab nuthin' ter do wild it. Mars John
always done treat me well.'
Nobody thinks you had anything
to do with it, London" the coroner
said, reassuringly, "but there is some
information that you can give us.
perhaps. Tell me, we're you at home
the day before Mr.. Wright was
, killed."

viii Destroy Fences.

The peremptory order from Wash

fences tina, have been illegally erected
on the public lands is of considerable
interest in the western part of the
state. There has not been anything
like the fencing of ranges in this
state that there has in some of the
states farther SOUTH, but some of the
stock men have assumed that they
build fences wherever they pleased.

DEBATING Contest.

The Red River Valley University,
the Methodist college located at Wah-

Natural Gas.
Two excellent artesian wells have
been sunk neal Edgeley and a flow of
natural gas secured, also. The Mail

flow at a depth of 1900 feet. The wa

is fit for domestic use. Aa abundance
of natural gas was also secured,
which Mr.. Davis will utilize for light
ing and heaUlng purposes. Mr.. Davis
has ordered a two horse power gas
engine, which will be operated by gas
from the well. He is indeed fortu-
nate, as he secured water, light, fuel
and power.
