THE DR0DEUR CASE.
Fsrsnaa csntfaAletsA 1vssy Stases
 nsnt hads Dy lDjusel Dsy.

The end of the suit of Hubert aud George Brodeur for $13.OO damages against the Scovill Manufacturing con- pany for the loss of an arm by the lat ter and for loss of his services to his father, was reached at noon to-day after two days trial. The evidence in every respect was of most opposite character. Almost every statement made by the injured boy George, was fiatly contradicted by the forepan Marion A. Morris and his assistants.
 4 few days before the accident the boy testified that he informed the fore man that the belt which broke later. was loose and his machine was not working properly, and that the fore man told him to '.fix it.' The fore man on the other hand testified that the statement was absolutely false.
 that he never spoke to the boy at all about the belt, and that only once
 he speak, and then merely to ask him
 how another was getting along in nis
 work. Again, witnesses for the de-
 fense testified there were printed rules
 pasted on the walls prohibiting the
 employees from putting belts on with their hands. Brodeur's testimony on that point was that there were no such rules, and that he never heard there were any.
 Yesterday afternoon Brodeur testi fled how the accident occurred He was about four feet from the main shafting, he said. and was looking al the belt to see if it was straight afte' he had laced it. His left hand wal between the belt when in some mar 1 ner the belt caught in the revolving 1 pulley and instantly he was drawn 10 ward the shafting and whirled around His memory stopped at that point. l Decision was reserved.

WHAT NO ONE KNOWS.

IKE a breath from land is recent article
~ dealing with of the mysteries that have puz-
zled the world within the past fifty seventyfve years.
mysteries that have left tangible Traces but which in
spite Of research unexplained mysteries still.
When Nansen went to the arctic regions, of his
unsuccessful objects to if he could find any
mains of the people who at the time of the settlement
of America, known to have lived upon the little
strip hababe along the coast of Greenland The
carly explorers found them and many references
made in their logs the nation which far
civilized than the Laplanders
But where have the people gone7 There is pot
terry left not grave not scrap OF any household be-
longings. Tradition has it that the whole colony mi
grated to the eastern coast taking all their belongings
with them, and that they are living there,
paratvely civilized community entirely cut off from the
rest Of the world. But really knows.
Quite mysterious is the tradition of Of pig
mics that inhabited the mountains of Tennessee centu-
ries ago. In the Indian lodges, the storyteIers have
many tales of these little and women, who
much brighter than the red but who have long been
gone from their oneme haunts. In the nineteenth
fury very ancient burying ground found in the
mountains which upon excavation yielded skeletons of
tiny mold Yet has found anything else to
the legend hazy story of far-of reality.
Even closer to time is the curious problem
that people talked about sixty years agothe fate Of
the little colony of Frenchmen who fled from the horrors
Of the French revolution and settled in the northern part
Of Alabama. For years, they earned half living
vine growers farmers etc. They of arstocrate
stock and not skilled in such work, and after working
heplessy for time, half starving, they finally melted
away,-no one knows whittier.
During the past century these questions the
talk, but the years went by and expana-
ton found interest gradually died out and today
they quite forgotten.

highly priced privileges in their government James
H. the pettest of the of the royal House OF Stuart
determined to clip the wings of freedom without delay
In 1856 he issued summons to Governor Treat and
the Company of Connecticut commanding them to ap-
pear His Majesty show by what warrant they
exercised certain powers in their local Tho
colony the authority of the charter issued to them
by his brother King Charles H. They spoke of their
loyalty promised its continuance and earnestly begged
that their privileges of self be not nterfered
with And at the time, they guarded that precious
charter with exceeding vigilance.
King James Numbered out his royal displeasure and
issued writs, still Connecticut refused to
surrender her charter Finally in 1884, he sent the hated
Sir Edmund Andros governor Of New England in

ABOUT THE NEW LANGUAGE.

JUNIORS who struggling with Latin decensions

edge of Esperanto could travel all the world

body else learned Esperanto, ALSO It is such easy
language they have at last manufactured for

straight. Johano estas agraba may look at first like
Spanish but it plain to anyone second thought that
it "John is agreeable" And when reads
ella estas varma' it is palmer to be
that the assertion is that ''the is warm.''
Perhaps Esperanto is less English than anything ese
but English is Saxon and Norman and Latin--and
sang-an combined, it is easy for Englishman
American to pick up Esperanto because it is little bit
of all languages combined and the rootwords of modern
English readily be recognized in the Esperanto
forms.
