ACCUSED OF CRIME.
Two Men in Custody-One Admits
Charge Against Him.


Two men are under arrest in the case OF
the "hold-up'' on Quincy street Tuesday
night. when Mr.. Mitchell e. Robinson, a
Waterman in the pension office, was as
saulted and robbed of about $50 and his
watch chain. The men in custody are Jo-
seph H. Roach, a pensioner and inmate OF
Soldiers Home, and Patrick, better known
as "Peg-leg," Kenneyg Roach has confessed
that he committed the crime, and says he
gave part of the proceeds to kenney. The
latter denies that he, knows anything con-
corning the crime. and says he did not get
any of the proceeds from Roach. Sergeant
Bremerman and Policeman Boland made
the arrests, and Detectives Muller ana
Baur are working on the case with them.
Roach Is locked up at theI tenth precinct
station, While kenney is held at NO. sta
ton. ~
Roach told the story of the assault, and
the details he gave were such that the
police were satisfied he was the man want
ed, although he afterward declared there
was no truth in what he had said. The
police found blood-stained stone near the
scene OF the crime, and Roach said he had
used such weapon. His statement was
that he threw the stone and then took the
money from Mr.. Robinson's pocket while
the latter was lying on the ground. He
told of having seen Policeman Boland near
Sth and Quincy streets about the time he
committed the crime, and the policeman
admits he was about where Roach placed
him.
There was no outcry made by the victim,
and the policeman knew nothing of the af-
fair until the next morning. The detectives
ana policemen are further investigating the
case. and Roach may be committed to Jail
tomorrow for a hearing when Mr.. Robinson
is able to appear in court. Beyond the
statement of Roach the police have found
nothing to implicate Kenney.

cept as a witness. Mr.. Dickens learned
much Of his characters from others who
knew their like-thOse familiar with
them in actual existence-and they told
him much about them and their actions.
and lie dressed them up as you would
say, and made them stand out in all their,
realism. just as he knew how to do ii.
He could listen well and saw the de-
sirable points quickly and noted them
down. But l won't say any more-I
have said too much and much more than
l intended when YOU came in,' and the
man closed again and retired within HIM
self.
ooh, yes; stories of Mr.: Dickens are
to the effect that he was gentle, kindly
dertakc TO differ with those views which
everybody has read. or to detract in the
least from his glory in that respect" Mr..
Lowman said, thus intimating. like many
English-born people who did not alto
gether admire their noted novelist, that
in his opinion the great writer: who told
so many burning truths regarding official
distant, reserved, .dignifed and retired
than his later readers are led to suppose.
"You have. seen in London such charac-
ters as Skies, Fagin. and MEN Of that
ilk?' ~ -"
A Learned Beggar,. -:
Being for years. as L said, among
the worst classes, have seen and known
some terrors," was the reply, "One was
a wretch. always barefooted and ragged,
who haunted the :slums, and who spoke
eloquently five Or six languages; who
was thoroughly educated, and who could
talk like a born orator and recite the
classics with the best scholars. and who
spent every penny he could beg or get
for display of his learning, for liquor.
Oh, it was terrible Yes, they We're all
there, in the haunts of London, and Mr..
Dickens saw them, too, l guess. But,
excuse me: I can't say any more"
Mr. Lowman is typically English in
mannerisms, speech and characteristics,
and still possesses a pardonable pride in
the glories of the mother country; in her
police regulations, and her institutions.
and doubtless his full knowledge Of the
manner in which Charles Dickens
showed MP some Of the rottenness of his.
day in official and institutional life may
account in 4 measure for his aversion to
discussing the great author now. Mr..
Lowman has been in this country about
twenty-five years. and for eight or ten
years was employed by the Plankinton
estate and had charge of the Loan and
Trust building. He is now in declining
health at the. age of IS years. and his
physical condition is reasonable excuse
for his declining to enter into discus
sion of Charles Dickens as he knew him.

Ruin in Crossed Legs.

:Uncross your legs" said doctor.
ooh, nor said bis son. whats the
use Of being so polite all the timer"
"My boy,'' the father answered, ut is
not on account Of mere rule of eti-
quette that l tell you to- uncross your
legs; but it is because leg-crossing is
an injurious thing-a thing as baleful to
the health as kissing or as microbes.
.'sWhen you cross your legs you fit the
kneecap Of the lower limb into the cavity
under the knee of the upper one. In the
cavity that you thus compress there are
the two important exterior and interior
popliteal nerves, and number of glands
and blood vessels. Compression does not
act we'll on these organs. : It benumbs
them and weakens and emaciates them.
You feel the injury in a numbness Of the
whole leg-the leg goes to sleep. .~II
Keep on with the habit and your legs
weaken. They become thin. They lose
their shapeliness. It is only such men
and women and children as never cross
their legs who have strong and supple
and beautiful limbs. "-Philadelph Rec

Madeline, . however; was obstinate and
would have nothing to. do with that -self%

and the embers in! T tie j. old fireplace
burned low, form glided through the
window and down over the weodshed
roof. There was a meeting by the will
low and the young man, now lieutenant
in the American army, touched again the
hand of his love.
Madeline seemed different. When her
intended husband called the next night
her whole manner was changed. She
would not be caressed, but her face was
all smiles and she did her best to please.
Her parents noted that her tastes were
greatly improved, and agreed that her
ambition would yet do honor to the fam
lily name.
It was the wedding night and Christ
mas. The old homestead was all ablaze
with light and warmth. The decorations
were handsome and expensive. All the
families of wealth and title from New
York were there. It was to be the
browning social event of the year. Made

giant and becoming grace she greeted the
young noble and her guests.
But just before the ceremony was to
take place Madeline excused herself for
a moment, went to her own room and
opened the window that looked out over
the old woodshed roof. Again and for
the last time she passed out. A strong
hand and a strong charger were waiting
And then
There was wedding feast that was

plished nothing; a wounded pride that
was never healed, and a ride, a long mid

Within the Memory of a Tree.

Nestled snugly among the low sloping
hills Of northern Long Island there
stands a large weeping willow in the
center of a we'll kept lawn, and below,
a few hundred feet away, the waters of
little brook dance and play over their
gravelly bed, then glide softly under a
small iron bridge and are lost to sight in
the mass of water lilies and dense un-
dergrowth beyond.
The scene is one of rare beauty, still,
though not quite so picturesque as when
the little brook was spanned by a rustic
bridge of fallen trees; and the stately
mansion is not nearly so poetic as the
old homestead with its huge fireplace
and vine draperies.
That was long ago. Gray haired men
have crossed the brook since childhood
who never saw the rustic bridge; the old
farm house was torn down to make room
for the newer model. which preceded the
present mansion, and the towering will
low with its long, dropping branches
could never be recognized as the sapling
OF a century ago; but the brook, fed by
ever faithful springs, babbles over It's
course as it did when first the red man
kneeled to drink from its crystal waters.
Thus time has wrought change in the
landscape and with it have changed the
history of nation and the customs of a
people. For when the smoke first curled
from that cid fireplace Tory family
gathered around its broad hearth and the
revolution was only a thought in the
mind of few. -. 49, =. !;
It was the youngest daughter of this
large Tory family who planted the little
willow twig. Surely the old tree has
witnessed many romance since then,
but none more beautiful, more poetic
or more touching than that of the life
by whose care it was nurtured and to
whose nobility it stands a living monu-
ment today. = r. ..s5-l....... :.@ FIG
