HENRY HUDSON.
Born No One Knows Where ana dee
No One Knows How.

Born No One Knows Where and Dice
No One Knows How.
Hudson must have been at least forty
when he died, but nothing Is known or
his life before the last four years of 1t.
A certain Henry Herdson, or Hudson.
alderman of London and one of the
founders Of the Muscovy company. has
been suggested as his grandfather, and
the relationship is the more likely be-
cause 1t Is certain that some OF his
name and kin were interested In the
company. 1t may have been upon their
recommendation that he was first ap-
pointed to the command of a ship In
the company's service in 1907. OF his
early training and previous voyages
nothing is known. The beginning Of his
history is as mysterious as its end. He
was born no one knows where, and ne
died no one knows how. He comes into
our knowledge on the quarter deck Of a
ship bound for the pole; be goes out OF
1t In crazy boat manned by eight SICK
men, and so fades away into the dim
haze that hangs about the desolate Ice
foes.
The four voyages of Hudson Of which
we have record were not directed to
absolutely unknown waters, but the
observations made by his precursors
were so untrustworthy that they were
of little service except to mislead him.
The object Of his first voyage In the
service of the Muscovy company was
ITO discover the pole and to sail across
1t to the islands Of Spicery or Cathay,'
and on April 10, 1907, he, with John
Hudson, his son, sixteen years old, and
the ten men who made up the crew OF
the Hopeful, took the sacrament TO-
pether at st. Ethelburga's, In Bishops
gate, "purposing to go to sea four
DAYS after" In the following year
Hudson sailed again, still in the serv
ice of the company. They reached the
Lofoden isles In a month and rounded
the North cape on June /. A fortnight
later they encountered one OF those
wonders of the deep which the seamer
Of that time were 80 often privileged
to witness and describe on June 10.

Forced Lfberality.

It is not often miserliness gets sucn
a straightforward rebuke as In the
case quoted by the Montclair Times
In the early days Of primitive Method
ism there Travelled in England an &C.
centric minister named Neale, who was
famous for his plain talking. On one
occasion he was preaching missionary
sermons at a village SO noted for ita
small collections that he determined
to pass the plate himself.
On his round he came to a farmer
who was, as Mr.. Neale well knew, the
richest man in the place. This individ
ual placed a penny on the plate. Mr.
Neale stopped Immediately and said ir
loud voice:
"Take your penny out, man. take II
out! Don't you see you've covered uI
your laborer's sixpenceT
The rebuke was efectual, and
much more valuable coin was PLACED
on the plate.

A Worthy Citizen Dead

In the death of Mr.. Edward l.
Matheny, which occurred on Sun
day night last at his home near
Valley Center, the county loses
one of its best citizens, and his
death came as great shock to all
He had been i'll but a few days
but the disease assumed a serious
form on Friday, and much OF the
time between that and the hour OF
death was passed in delirium.
Mr. Matheny was farmer OF
thrift and industry had just com.
pleted a large Touring mill, and
to all human appearances, had 6
prosperous, happy future before
him.
From every section of the coun.
ty we hear expressions of deep re-
greet at the loss of this good man
but in his own immediate neig h.
borhood will this loss be mos
keenly felt, for there his true
worth. as neighbor, friend and eiti
zen, was more fully known ane
valued. lie was about 40 years Of
age and is survived by a wife anc
one child.
The funeral, conducted by hi'
pastor, Rev Dewitt A Berry al Re
hoboth, was largely attended, ant
his remains were laid to rest in TIT
old family playground.

Cloves.

From Java, Sumatra, Mauritus, Zan-
zibar and Guiana come the little brown
flower buds Of the Glove tree. When
gathered the buds are red and are
dried by exposure to the smoke OF
wood fires and afterward by the rays
Of the sun. In very short time they
become of a deep brown color. To Sc
cure monopoly and thus keep up the
price the Dutch In the seventeenth GEN.
tury destroyed all their Glove trees ex'
cept those In the island OF Amboyna.
The chief value Of cloves lies In their
essential oil, which forms about one
sixth Of their whole weight.

PeddIer's Throat Cut--Stine
Lyman Found Wednesday
Evening With Throat
Cut

! Thursday morning the news
reached here Of an ugly murder
! just across the Pendleton county
border line in the northeastern cor
ner of Pocoahontas Co.
The Review called Circleyille for
information, who in turn called
Isaac Arbogast who lives on
Allegheny where the body was
removed to when found.
Mr. Arbogast informed us that it
was the body of Slime Lyman, an
Italian pedler Of Davis, W Va, who
operates in a company at that place
and the man is known TO be very
good one, Someone who was pass
ing the place near where the MUIR
der took place noticed Indications
OF trouble and about 10 steps from
the road he found the body lying
alongside the road. He made the
discovery known and the body
without close examination was re-
moved. A cornorers jury was sum-
moned, but had not met at the
time of writing this article.
The mans throat had been slash
ed almost from ear to ear, and the
flesh had been eaten from his face,
throat and shoulders by dogs or
some wild animal.
The man, aged about 36, had
been seen at Charles Vandevender's
on the AlleghaneY at about noon
Tuesday and it is supposed from
the distance he had gone that he
was killed between one and two o..
clock that day. His body was found
Wednesday evening.
1t is supposed that he was
murdered for his money.-South
Branch Review
News of this foul murder reach
ed Monterey shortly after the find
ing Of the body, and, from later
news gathered by phone and
through parties returning from Po-
cahontas, we learn that the guilty
parties have been found and are
now locked up at MarlintoD. One
of them, Burl Lamb, is son Mrs
Mahala Lamb whose death occurred
last summer near the foot of Jack
Mountain. The other is said to be
a bad character. a young May, OF
Pendleton.
It is said that the clue leading
to their arrest was Lambs close in
quiry as to the peddler's course and
whereabouts, and to Mays con-
duct and uncalled for declaration
Of innocence when the crime was
discovered. May is said to have
made confession after his arrest,
and watch, known to have been
Lyman's, was found on the person
Of Lamb. Only a few dollars in
money was obtained by the muir.
ders.
We know but little of Lamb,
although he halls from Highland.
From our best information, he has
never known parental restraint,
and has just grown up" leading a
reckless, renegade life.
