Could you pay a mother for n1inding

teacher is, must be, both mother and

even more what she tried to do in the
South after the war. for black and

The Home and the School.

There is something of much more
Importance than pay, Something which
money cannot buy, but which society
IAN give and must freely give to re-
ward it's faithful teachers, writes Jacob
\. Riis in Good Housekeeping. We in
my city have raised salaries, provided
pensions. We have emancipated the
teachers from politics; they are free,
f they choose to be. We have started
light. but we must do more, especially
in the great city where the home is
lighting against such odds. We must
make them our friends, as in truth
they are. We must take them into our
hands, of which they are SO strong a
prop. We must not allow them to feel
that they stand alone, a class by them
selves. 1t is not enough to have res
eued them from the politician; we must
be allies, they and we, for defense and
Cor offense, if need be, and the only soil
and kept is the home.
In my own little home cottage in the
greater New York, mean to have the
mothers and the school teachers to
meet on social terms for the advantage
of the one as of the other. And / hope
to see the day when every teacher will
be a welcome and a natural guest in
her children's homes; in truth, men,
Der of the family, cherished as such,
1t has always seemed to me that it
ought to be so. And I am more than
ever convinced that not until we have
come to that, will we have struck the

BIGAMIST cONFEsSEs.
Henry Buzzell Of Lewiston, in Laws
Grasp at Portsmouth, N. II.

Henry Buzzell of Lewiston, a big
amist, has pleaded guilty at Ports
mouth, N. H., and will soon be where
marrying is a lost art and wives are
purely extraneous.
Buzzell's case is remembered in Lew
iston; for his capture was due to the
work of the Lewiston police depart
ment and one of his victims still re-
sides here.
According to the story told at the
time of his capture, Buzzell was a
heartbreaker and fascinator because
he couldn't help it. He simply loved
that was all. Cupid abode in him and
shot arrows from Mr.. Buzzell's in
trenchments at all alike.
Mr.. Buzzel's first matrimonial Ven
ture so far as learned was at Winthrop,
Me. He lived with the bride about six
weeks. Troubles arose and BuZZell took
the trouble to get a divorce, a mere
formality that he dispensed with in
later cases.
Then he came to Lewiston and mar
ried Hattie Daily. This was on Jan. 3,
1908. His wife was an invalid, afflicted
with an injury to her knee. The we'd
ding occurred at the bedside. He lived
here in Lewiston two months and one
day left her, saying that he was going
to come back, Sunday, and take his
wife away with him to Bath.
The wife waited patiently till BuzZell
did appear, but the trouble was that
Buzzell did not linger near. Instead,
he went to Portsmouth. N. H., where he

relative to Buzzelrs return there. He
had not been back to Winthrop. Finally
in a peculiar way the Lewiston police
found a chum of BuZZell's in Lewiston
and from him learned that BuzZell not
long before had been seen at Ports
mouth N. H.. where he seemed to be
enjoying life in fOrgetfulness of his
marriage relations here. The deputy
wrote to parties in Portsmouth and re-
ceived word that Henry E. Buzzell was
at work on the Portsmouth street rail-
way anu tIlil IL NiS uliutl StoOu llCl
that he had married Kittery Point
woman about 10 days previous. The
date of this letter was June II, 1903.
The deputy went to Portsmouth and
found Buzzell living at Kittery Point.
On the books of the city clerk at Ports
mouth he found the intention of Buzz
Zells marriage to Miss Mace and also
the marriage papers. He had request
ed that the city clerk refrain from Civ
ing the notice of the intention to the
newspapers and across the face was
written the words, Not for publica-
ton.
He stated in the first papers that he
was 26 years old and never was mar
ried. In the second, he said that he
was 80 years old and was divorced.
He was arrested by the Portsmouth
police and has since been held there for
appearance at the superior court.

TEN DYNAMITE STICKS
Ready to Explode Found Under Depot
at Seattle, Wash.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 2S.-Twelve sticks
of dynamite, done up in two packages,
with fuses attached all ready to light
were found concealed in the lavatOry of
the Inter Urban depot in this city, this
afternoon. There was enough of the
explosive to have blown up all the
buildings within a radius of two blocks
and to damage property for a distance
of 10 blocks from the depot. The dis
covery was made by a laborer named
Wilson. 1t is believed that the dyna-
mite was placed in the room, today. A
searching investigation is being made
by detectives.
