The lest.

The Test.
A stiffness so tense as to be almos'
painful succeeded the plaintiff words
and the summons to admit the defend
ant while the plaintiff passed him on
his way to the seclusion of the ONCE
Mr.. Hamilton, for such he was, un
doubtedly, whether the true or raise
claimant, was deeply moved, as was
apparent to all when he stood IN the
witness-box before them all. His race
was pallid, his eyes were cleaning
his hands were tightly clenched.
All chances were riveted upon him
with establishment as he said in a
strange tone, not waiting to be ques'
toned at all:
81 will go to get it. will go to get
It."
Twice he said it, and then stood
looking at vacancy rather than at the
Judge.
The Judge directed that the counsel
for both parties and the jurymen at
tend the defendant to his destination,
if not too distant, and see the search
take place. Meanwhile the court
would adjourn until one o'clock. And
His Honor went to dinner. The sher-
iff followed the thirteen, who filed
down the street toward the bank build
ing, no doubt the place to which the
defendant was leading them. Tall,
erect, impassive, he passed on rs in
a dream, never hesitating, never
speaking, neither looking to the right
nor to the left.
Thus he led them to the bank and
I'D the steps. Pushing open the door,
Mr.. Morley explained their errand to
the cashier.

! in the place of another, and to base
this they are compelled to set up the
absurd story of the twin brother.
There is no twin brother, for he died
in infancy.
ASHLEY was visited next morning
in Jail by his wife. He denied that she
was his wife, and she did not contra
dict him until afterward. Then she
said that she was his wife. Ashley
got clear on the plea Of being insane,
and was sent to the asylum. From
there he escaped, was supposed to
have been drowned, worked awhile at
a mill, and then came to Grovedale,
where he got employment in the mill
here. He gave his name as Primus
Edes, said he was never married,
could not write; indeed, he appeared
to be very illiterate. He worked as a
common hand at the mill until ne
CHANGED to meet Mrs. Hamilton at
church and fell violently in love with
her.
"He began to prosecute her with at
tentions, and finally won her interest
nv finding her little boy who wandered
away to the woods and got lost. Mrs.
Hamilton made him sundry presents
and professed to think he resembled
her husband. Ashley, alias Edes, be-
gan to learn to write, and learned as
tonishingly fast, writing the name
Constance over and over again. He
purchased a violin and began to play.
Ashley was fine player, as we shali
proye. and he was also we'll educated.
Mr. Hamilton could not play at all.
Neither was he an ingenious work
man. Ashley was. Mrs. Hamilton put
on mourning and had monument
made to erect to the memory OF her
husband. She often opened her VIII
dow to listen to the strains OF the vio-
lin played by Primus Edes as she
knew him.
"Then Mr.. Hamilton returned with
a straightforward story OF loss OF
memory as the reason for his deten-
ton from home, and, very honoraply'
settled up the bank troubles, as ne
said he could not absolutely ahrm
that he had not done what was alleged
of him. for he knew nothing Vt his
acts after he left Grovedale on the hf-
teenth of May. Mr. Carter aid MS
children received him with open arms.
Not so his wife. She preferred TO
doubt him. Mr.. Hamilton took up his
place in the mill and in the conlmunl-
ty. unchallenged by soul except his
wife. Reports were brought to linn OF
her affection for the man known as
Edes, but he paid no attention to them,
except to call him to the office and
warn him against being seen on his
premises.
"Tn about a week afterwards Edes
was shot there by some one unknown,
probably by Edes himself, to awaken
suspicion against Mr.. Hamilton. He
was i'll for three or four weeks after
wards, and when he was partially re-
covered he professed to recollect that
he was Hamilton instead OF E'des.
Mrs. Hamilton professed to believe his
statement, or at least did not deny MS
claims. Proof would be offered that
before his illness she wrote him let

sometimes did in her letters to her
friends, it being pet name applied to
her fair, stately beauty when scmsoi-
girl.

gestien, stomach and liver trouble, you get a
sallow, yellow complexion, make you feel as

Beer in Mugs and Glasses.

Bavarians have long insisted that
beer is better and more wholesome if
drunk out of stone mugs than out Of
glass. DR.. w. Schultze has now ex-
amined the matter scientifically and
has found that beer is made injurious
by chemical process which dissolves
the oxide of lead in the glass.

vanished and revealing the new bullet hole

An account of it was published at the Time

is not easy to believe that it is possible to
watch the flight of a rifle bullet, so the
account probably passed with most people
for romance.
1t has remained for two or three Adiron-
dack rifemen to prove that 1t is possible
under right conditions, to watch the flight
of a rifle ball; to do it with the naked eye
and to show the bullets during flight to all
observers who have fair eyesight. The dis
covery was made as follows:
Some gentlemen were at an hotel at
Minerva on October 10, 1904, target shooting.
H. j. Gala han was out at one side, watch
ing the target. w8ch was about $50 yards
from the firing point About $3.50 pm,
when the sun shone at just the right angle
he first noticed silver streak as each shot
was fired travelling from the gun to the
target. and spoke of it.
On October 81 l was invited to call at the
hotel and view the second series of ex-
periments kindly made for my benefit.
Though thoroughly unconvinced by what
had heard two days before, / went, and
on placing myself properly saw the third
bullet fired, as well a dozen or so be-
sides. The guns used on the second day S
trial were 3S-40 and a 1855 Factory am
munition was used in both experiments.
The 1856 was the prettiest bullet to watch.

A Gigantic Rose.
m the Scientific American.

From the Scientific American.
A rose which has created great deal of
interest in horticultural circles is the sub
jest of plate in the Botanical Magazine.
The late Sir Henry Collet met with this
rose, to which he gave the name of Rosa
Glgantea as very striking object in the
forests Of the Shan Hills in Northern Bur-
ma, and 1t was through him that seeds
were received at the Royal Botanic Gar
dens, Kew, in 1888. No difficulty was ex-
perienced in getting the seeds to germi-
nate, and the seedlings soon developed into
plants remarkable for the enormous length
of their shoots, one of these in the Temper
ate House reaching length of fifty feet.
Visitors to the Succulent House may have
observed the robust specimen planted in
the central bed there, which had grown
along the roof, and then out through
ventilator into the open air. But though
growths were produced In almost embar
RAISING freedom, no flowers have ever been
borne by the Kew plants. Indeed, it is be-
lieved that only in two gardens in England
has the plant Powered at all. From one
of these the material was obtained from
which the Botanical Magazine drawing was
prepared. The flowers are white, or white
tinged with yellow, and are from four
to six inches in diameter. The same rose
was found first in Manipur, and it is now
known to occur in China.

Germany's Moroccan Policy.

BERLIN March 29-Chancellor Won Bue-
low, speaking on Morocco in the reich
stag today, said that Germany would in
the first instance place herself in commu-
nication with the Sultan of Morocco Ger
MANY had such interests in Morocco as
other trading countries; such interests as
she had in China and other parts of the
world. These interests were real and
would be protected IN M Morocco according
Herr Rebel, the socialist leader, had
raised the Morocco question by criticising
the government for taking diplomatic ac-
ton to safeguard German opportunities in
Morocco long after the French-Brltish
agreement, when it should have acted a
year ago.
the moment was not politically opportune
to discuss Germanys relations with Moroc-
co he would say that Emperor William had
declared more than year ago to the King
of Spain that Germany had no selfish aims
against the territorial integrity or indie
pendence Of Morocco. The emperor's visit
to Morocco had no aggressive purpose, but,
apart from the independence of Morocco
and apart from the emperors visit, German
economic interests remained to be protected,
and they would be. Those interests were
considerable.
Baron Won Kardoff (conservative) speak
ing before Chancellor Won Buelow on Mo-
rocco, and coupling the names of France
and Great Britain together, said Germany
was not accustomed to underestimate her
opponents. Her military power was equal
to that of any enemy.
The Sued WeutSche Reiches-C orrespondez,
regarded as voicing Chancellor Won Bue-
lows views, says Emperor Williams visit
to Morocco shows that Germany "contin-
ues her relations with the sovereign of Mo-
rocco, and does not and will not give up
such relations to France, which seeks to
exercise controlling Influence in Morocco"

Elisha Fisk, better known as Priest Fisk, 4"
whose pastorate In this church covered a
period Of fifty-six years.
Upon opening the Bible the young minis

he read: 'Mr. Libbius Porter desires the

Signs of repressed merriment appeared
through the congregation, but the cause
was a complete mystery to the young min
lister, who, upon arriving at the home Of
Mr.. Fisk for lunch, inquired of Mrs. Fisk
the cause of the unseemly hilarity.
She informed him he had read an old
notice, used by her husband as a book
mark. It had been presented by Mr.. Por-
ter year or two before, upon the death
of his third wife. Mr.. Porter, with his
fourth bride, sat in the congregation while
