singular Way In which an English
Murderer Was Discovered.

In the London Mirror of. Literature
for June, 1914, there Is an account OF
q dream that was remarkable I'm many
respects. IL Is given upon the author
ity Of n clergyman Of the Church of
England, the Rev. SIR. Alexander, who
speaks from personal knowledge OF
some OF the fncts. II appears that
young man Of good reputation, named
Horrocks, was found robbed and muir
dered. Ills head had been beaten I'm
apparently with bludgcOns. a vigilant
search was made for the assassin and
after several months abandoned, no
clew TO the crime having been discov-
cred. One night n gentleman who had
been well acquainted with Horrocks
awOke' and told his wife that he had
had n dream In which he had been as
sured that one Samuel LOngsmth Of
Bolton was the murderer.
Longsmith lived some twenty miles
away and was n person whom the
dreamer had met but once or twice.
His wife told him 10 think 40 more
about II, but to go TO sleep. \ second
time he awoke from the effects Of the
same dream and announced his rcso
luton TO take steps the following morn
Ing TO see what could come of 1t. Ac
cordngly he went to Bolton the next
day and sought "A warrant for the ar
rest OF Longsmlth. The magistrate
however, refused to grant II upon such
evidence Passing through the market
place, he met Longsmth and invited
him to go TO n public house TO hear
something he had to communicate 10
him. There, locking the door. ne
charged him with the crime. Long.
smith was staggered and family de
MED the accusation. In his confusion
he said he was innocent, for he did
not strike the blow.
"Then you know the man who did"
replied the accuser, and Longsmith
was arrested and examined. lie pre-
varicated at the examination and was
remanded for three days. At the end
OF that time and after many hours
prayer he confessed that he had been
induced to Join three men In a robbng
expedition, when, meeting HorroCks,
who made some resistance, his three
companions murdered him. This con
fession came out before the grand jury.
and Longsmith was brought to trial
The fact Of the dream was not offered
In evidence, but other testimony suf-
ficicnt to convict him was produced.
A few days before the execution he
made full acknowledgment OF his
guilt.

TO RETAIN YOUTH.

Simply refuse to grow old by not

STYLE IN WRITING.
An uacident That showed How Well
Cbonte Knew DE Quincy.

II is the fashion to laugh gently at
any claim Of n special sense for style
In writing. Most people really believe
that Mr.. Brown and Mr.. Johnson Will
order n car load Of potatoes I'm substan-
TALLY the same words and that Lord
Bacon and Master Shakespeare wrote
enough alike TO deceive their dearest
friends. But occasionally one comes
upon an Illustration that goes TO prove
style In writing Is ns distinctive to the
trained eye as color Is.
Many years ago James +. Fields was
making n collection Of the writings of
De Quincy. The essays were widely
scattered In various periodicals and
were often hard TO identify. Mr..
Fields knew Rufus Choatc M n devot-
ed student OF De Qulncey ana wrote
him one day asking his opinion as to
n certain article. Was It by De Quln-
cey or noti
Mr.. Choatc replied that II certainly
was. There could bc no mistaklng the
style Of the piece. \ few weeks later
Mr. Choate received, through Mr..
u 'HlH, ~ I'lI'I llbHl l'' 'lliIll''l
ing absolutely and somewhat indlg
nantly the authorship Of the article.
But Choatc was not OF the stun to
yield his opinion for n trlne like that
He wrote to Mr.. Fields:
81 still believe that De Quincy wrote
the essay, De Quincy to the contrary
Notwithstanding"
Doubtless Mr.. Fields read the note
with smiling comment, That's just
like Choatcs confidence In his own
Judgmont!'
Months elapsed. One day there came
"a letter from De Quincy containing Il
humble apology for his previous blum

hands In the field and uses from 200 to
$50 horses for the various divisions OF
farm work lie raises corn by thou
sand acre patches and In single year
has sold 5000 hogs and 1900 cattle Of
his own raising. Mr.. Rankin stands
six feet two without his boots on,
weighs $50 pounds and began life as
poor boy. He resides at Tarkio, Mo-,
in the vicinity Of his farm property.
He writes to Leslie's Weekly;
