For it was obvious that the drinking
was going to begin. The French cap
tain served the liquor out in small
glass to every one, and presently some
of his melancholy disappeared. He
gave an order to one of his men who
brought two more glasses, one for the
English captain, and one for himself.

He pointed to Hart, and though two
of the Frenchmen, who had black
eyes, demonstrated against the deed
of mercy, Hart was unlashed and
given a drink.

Hart, with a, scrape of his leg. II

And very soon the French and Eng.

other at the rate of knots, while Hart
sat in q crowd of Frenchmen and told
them all about everything.

returned to the Potluck. He had to be

crew.

ONE WAY TO CATCH A THIEF.

Russian Muzhik Shows Craft In Bring
ing Theft to Light.
Charles Chapman Grafton, bishop OF
Fond du Lac, has just returned from
Russia. He brings back hearty es'
TEEN for the Russian church and a
hearty liking for the humble muzhik.
1.-THE muzhik is singularly honest.
Bishop Grafton said recently. This
characteristic in him was proved to
me by an episode witnessed in a re.
mote Russian village, and this episode
was also notable for the credit 1t re.
fected on the intelligence of certain
village leader.
1T appears that pillow had been
stolen from field. The like Of this
had never happened before. 1t had al
ways been customary to leave every
thing unguarded in the village Now
that a thief had suddenly appeared,
what was to be done?
"To consider what should be done a
council of muzhiks was called. The
men, bearded and stern, gathered on
the common. The head muZhik held
up his hand for silence, and said:
eve are dishonored. A thief has
arisen among us, defiling our good
name. But all will end well, for have
discovered the thief, and | will now
lay bare his shame to you. See'-and
he took up big stone-'see, the thief
is before me, and now'-he raised his
ARMAND now with all my might l
hurl this stone at him.
''In the most violent manner the
head muzhik pretended to throw the
stone, and one man-only one-duck-
ed. This fellow-he was only half.
witted-was, of course, the thief. The
plow was found in his cellar that after.

in this city on Wednesday last, has been identified by the police as Milton Franklin Andrews, wanted for the all legged murder of Bessie BOuton on Mount Cutler, Colo, on Oct. 3, 1904. The detectives say that the identifica- tion is so positive as to admit of no doubt.
 The minute description furnished by Ellis of his assailants tally exactly with those sent broadcast over the country last year of one who is known to have been with Bessie Bouton shortly before her body was found. Andrews travelled under the aliases of George Bennett and Milton Franklin, and 1t now ap- pears that ne has added the names of Brush and Curtis to his list.
 Not only does. Brush or Curtis fit the description of Andrews. but the preparations for the dismemberment of Ellis strongly recall the details of the tragedy in Colorado. Bessie Bouton's body was found hacked to pieces and acid had been used to render the work of identification more difficult.

 Duncan Howard in the character of Sample Switchel was the maker of no end of fun. D. w. Reed as Simon Slade truthfully portrayed the pros porous miller who lost his all over the bar. Walter Walsh as Joe Morgan, the village drunkard, was especially good in the scene where he hurls a glass at the bartender which glass strikes his own child, who unexpectedly en- ters the room.

PATCH'S PERFORMANCE
He EquaIed but Could not Beat Star
 Pointers Mile.

Lexington, Ky, Oct. 19.-Star Point CT continues to hold the worlds cham piOnship for an unpaced mile in har- ness. In a trial to lower it today, Dan Patch equalled it for the second time. In view of a stiff breeze which the pacer had to face through the quarter stretch, the popular opinion was that he could not beat 1:59A and that he equaled it was regarded as a great performance. Hersey was behind Dan Patch and Scott Hudson drove the runner, which accompanied him along side.
 Star Pointer was driven on the track and after an ovation from the crowd, viewed Patch's trial from the head of the stretch. The quarter was made in 30 flat and the half in 59. For the next quarter the horse mad to stand the wind. It did not affect his speed 1:2S12. But t told on his strength. At the head of the stretch a second run ner was picked up and Dan Patch came home between them. He showed that he was tired. Hersey who drove him a mile Thursday behind a pace maker and dirt shield in 1:59z without touching him, today whipped vigorous ly through the last eighth.
 Urging was of no avail; 1:59A was the best he could do. The crowd was not disappointed and as lie was parad- ed with a wreath about his neck there was a great demonstration.

FASCINATING PART OF AMERICAN
HISTORY.

There is nothing else so fascinating
in American history as the romance OF
achievement under difficulties-the
story of how men and women, who
have brought great things to pass, got
their start, and of their obscure begin.
nings and triumphant ends. their strug
giles, their long waitings amid want
and woe, the obstacles overcome, the
final victories; the stories of men and
women who have seized common stu
ations and made them great, or OF
those of average ability who have sue
ceeded by dint of indomitable will and
intleXible purpose.
What grained sight is there than that
of a stalwart man made irresistible by
the things which have tried to down
ering or trembling, with head erect
and heart undaunted, ready to face
any difficulties, defying any difficulties
of fate, laughing at obstacles because
he has developed in his fight with
them the superb strength of manhood
and vigor of character which makes
him master?
No fate or destiny can stop such
mana man who is dominated by
mighty purpose. Thousands of young
men of this stalwart type every year
burst the bonds which are holding
down the weakling, the yacillator and
the apologist.
That which dominates the life,
which is ever uppermost in the mind,
generally comes somewhere near real
ization; but there is a great difference
between lukewarm desire and a red
hot purpose. 1t takes steam to drive
the piston in the engine; warm water
will never turn the wheels. The long
ings that fail of realization are usually
just below the boiling point.-Orison

COLUMBUS. THE HIRED MAN.

1t is with surprise nothing short of
painful that we receive the informa-
ton just dug up at Genoa, italy, that
christopher Columbus received only

The sum of $50 a month, at which
rate Mr.. Columbus was paid is not
sufficiently dignitied, in our estimation,
TO be classed as salary. Fifty dollars
4 month is plain old wages. Columbus
was nothing but a hired man. Queen
