State Happenings.


st. Louis-Mrs. John Knapp, of this
city, died at her summer residence in
Watch Hill, r. L. Her death followed
an immediate illness of a month or
more, and was the result of general
debility, accompanying advanced age,
as Mrs. Knapp vas in her eighty
third year. She had been a constant in.
valid for nearly four years, never
having recovered from the shock of
a serious accident in California, in
1902. Mrs. Knapp was the widow of
Col. John Knapp, who was for years
and up to the time of his death, one
of the principal owners of the st.
Louis Republic. Both were among the
Oldest residents of st. Louis, Mrs.
Knapp having been born within the
present limits of the city in 1924, ana
Col. Knapp having been brought here
when three years of age, in 1919. Mrs.
Knapp was the daughter of Joseph
and Cynthia Wright, who came to
Missouri from Franklin county, Va,
in the early part of the last century.
and settled on the outskirts of st.
Louis, when the city had less than
5000 population.

brothers and sisters were stffl pale
and hollow-cheeked. Everybody there
needed the commonest necessaries of
life, so Stearns Kendall Abbott, the
youth, more ~self-reliant and energetic
than Stearns Kendall Abbott, the
child, went forth to obtain them, not
caring greatly how he obtained them
so long as he succeeded. He broke
into a small store and was possessing
himself of its money when the coun.
try constables arrived and possessed
him. For his offense he served six
years in Concord prison.
Thence he went into the army for
service against the c~onfederacy. Some
body cheated him out Of his bounty
money, and he deserted in Hartford,
Conn. He was at once confronted by
the problems of feeding and clothing
himself, and he followed his bent.
One day he espied a mail bag without
protection. He stole the United
States property, opened it and ap-
proprlated its contents. But they
caught him and sent him to Jail for
five more years.
Long Career of Crime.
He was used to that sort oil life by
this time; and he was unused to any

MORE THAN MONEY.
A Minister Talks About Grape-Nuts.

my first stomach trouble began
back in 1885," writes a minister in
Nebr., resulting from hasty eating
and eating too much. I found no re-
lief from medicine and grew SO bad
that all food gave me great distress.
1T was that sore, gnawing, hungry
feeling in my stomach that was so
distressing and / became a sick man.
Grape-Nuts was recommended as a
food that could be easily digested.
Leaving the old diet that had given
me SO much trouble, I began to eat
Grape-Nuts with a little cream and
sugar. The change effected in "a hours
was truly remarkable, and in a few
weeks / was back to health again.
my work as a minister calls me
away from home a great deal, and re-
Gently I drifted back to fat meat and
indigestible foods, which put me again
on the sick list.
so ! went back to Grape-Nuts and
cream and in four days I was put
right again. The old dull headaches
are gone, stomach comfortable, head
clear, and 1t is a delight to pursue
my studies and work.
"Grape-Nuts food is worth more
than money to me, and I hope this
may induce some sufferer to follow
the same course ! have"

Crue stood on the stoop. bare-headed
and wild-eyed.
Somebody has murdered my wife!"
ne shouted. Come quick"
Groton became tremendously ex-
cited over the deed, and the medical
examiner and the oonstables immedi-
ately began to make their investiga-
tions. They found two bullet holes in
the woman's head and another in her
breast. But there were no signs of a
struggle, and there was no robbery.
The officers retained the bullets and
took impressions Of the imprints in
the snow outside the house. Crue was
questioned closely, but he proved an
alibi. Then the officers surmised that
q tramp committed the deed, and
searched the village thoroughly for
evidence of strangers. Everybody
was puzzled over the apparent abb
of any motive.

How Emperor William ls Battling
Against a Dangerous Heredity.

Emperor Williams father died OF cancer
OF the throat.
Emperor William himself had infantile
paralysis, and has had to struggle with
many intirmities.
1t has been whispered that he himself
is troubled with the same malady which
carried off his father. Royal blood is UNI
fortunately most generally deteriorg;ei
blood. Emperor William knows this as
well as anybody, and is doing his best to
eradicate the bad blood from himself and
his family by the adoption of simple life
principles.
Through the visit of a countryman of
his to Battle Creek, Michigan. while in
this country, visiting the Worlds Fair in
Chicago in 1893, Emperor William became
acquainted with the Battle Greek idea Of
simple living and has to a large extent
adopted the methods in his family. His
wife and children live the simple life and
take Battle Creek light baths. Their
uncle, King Edward, also has these baths
installed in his Windsor and Buckingham
Palaces for the use of himself and Queen
Alexandra.

Mrs. Crue was at home. He replied
CURLY:
"No, she has gone to town for the
afternoon, to make some calls"
Then the door closed without
further ado.
OF the history Of the day, which i'm
msdiately follows, the husband is the
only authoritative source. He returned
from Aver Junction shortly after sun
set. Much to his surprise, che house
was quite dark.
Failing to secure an entrance
through any door, he went to one Of
the windows and vainly tried to raise
1t. He concluded that his wife had
taken excellent precautions to prevent
the entrance of strangers. Yet the
drawn curtains, staring him blalkly
in the face, made him uneasy. He
walked around the house to the cellar
door. Through the gloom he CROPPED
his way with caution, always sensing
impending disaster. This promonition
grew stronger and stronger as he
mounted the stairs to the Kitchen.
Now he proceeded more wariiy than
ever, listening for any significant
sound. The house was quite silent,
and at last he struck a match and hur-
ried to the lamp. The light partly re-
assured him.
Then he decided to look into his
wife's room, and with the lamp in one
hand, he crossed the kitchen. On the
floor, in front of the door to the bed
room, vas a line of discoloration. At
any other time he might not have no.
ticed it, but he still had a foreboding,
and was %curiously ~observant. First
he glanced around the room, and then
he stopped and felt of the discolora-
ton. When he raised his hand his
fingers were stained and damp.
Found Wife Murdered.
Quickly he pushed open the door of
the bedroom, and holding the lamp
high above him, he stared into the
room The huddled figure Of Mrs.

restraint, but the woman who can control her feelings and whose
breeding and education have taught her that unnecessary display OF
feeling is vulgar experiences them just the same.
1t is this pose of the woman Of culture and intellect, OF business
ability and professional standing, which gives rise to the complaint
that she is not capable Of human sympathy and emotion.
Higher education, culture and the broader life that has beer
opened to women in the last quarter century have done more toward
the development Of real human sympathy and feeling than all the arh-
fcaity and afectation Of the years before.
There is no reason why the hottest Of emotions should not be ra
tional, nor is there any reason why woman's power Of feeling be placed
upon the basis OF absence Of higher education.
The drama which reflects the emotions Of real life is not confined
to the realms OF the untutored to find its examples of great emotions.
The Development OF intellect and the influence Of culture and ex-
perence in professional life teach woman the law Of relative values.
Emotion is too valuable a thing to be triAed with, and, unlike the
shallow creature who, under a cloak Of hypocrisy, gives vent to rotous
expression.
Higher education cannot kill real feeling in woman; sympathy.
be sincere.

Another Dig at Powers.

A few days ago Gov. Cobb, OF
Maine, and Hon. W. R. Pattangall,
prominent in politics in the same
state, were together on a train. Mr..
Pattangall is a lawyer and an editor,
the writer of the humorous Needy
bemps Letters" appearing in his pa
per, the Machias Union.
In the course of conversation, Gov,
Cobb remarked to Mr.. Pattangall: q
don't see why you and Llwellyn Pow
ers should be so extremely antag'
onistic to each other. Neither of you
ever fails to give the other a raj
when there is opportunity"
At this point an interested listener
in the car leaned toward their chairs
and asked; rs it really true that ex
Gov. Powers is of Indian descent?'
We'll, the Indians deny it," Mr.
Pattangall answered, in his inimitable
manner.

other kind, save existence in s. pov.
erty-stricken home. Thereafter one
offense succeeded another. He stole
a horse and buggy, and served a re-
sultant sentence of four years in
Charlestown; he embezzled $3.50 and
returned to Charlestown for two years
more. Later he entered a house in
Manchester, N. H., and stole $17. For
this crime he spent three years in the
New Hampshire state prison. He was
now AZ years old, his terms of con-
finement aggregated % years, and he
was known as an habitual criminal.
Stearns Kendall Abbott was in Gro
ton on the 18th of January, 1880. He
was only a month and a half out of
Concord prison, and presumably was
trying to obtain employment as a
wood carver. This was his trade
his prison taught trade-and he was
a capable man.
From house to house Constable
Reed, of Aver, traced his movements,
until at last he located him in East
Weare, N. H. The prisoner denied
| the crime. He said that he had never
known Mrs. Crue, and had w seen
her. He told the court that he left
Groton during the afternoon of the
18th and went to Boston, where he
spent several hours in a house of i'll
repute. But he couldn't corroborate
his statements. Witnesses located
him in the Crue house; a chain of cir.
c%umstantial evidence held him firmly.
Death Sentence COMMITTED.
He was sentenced to be hanged, and
from his window in the jail he
watched them building the scaffold.
Wendell Phillips and others became
interested in his case, and urged Gov,
Long to commute the sentence. AT
first the governor refused, but when
one of the chief witnesses against
Kendall, Jennie Carr, admitted herself
a perjurer respecting part of her ties
timony-respecting a denial of he1
motherhood-Gov. Long ~reprieved't the
condemned man and ordered that he
spend the remainder of his days in
the state prison.
That was rs years ago. Twenty-Five
years ago they wrote the last record
against the name of Stearns Kendall
Abbott-"life prisoner for the murder
of Maria l.. Crue, of Groton." 1t was
the concluding chapter of n Of the
most stirring murder stories Of west
ern Middlesex county. 1t was also
the aftermath to the prisoners hope

Groton,-In this quiet Massachu.
sets village 25 years ago, there lived
a family named Crue. Their home was
a small farm house in a particularly
lonely location, three miles from other
h~abitations.
Crue was a teamster, whose duties
compelled him frequently to go to
Aver Junction, several miles away.
Sometimes he left home early in the
morning, and remained ia his labors
until sunset. His wife was left under
the protection of a dog, who spent a
large part of the day sleeping near
the kitchen stove.
On the morning of January II, 1880,
the home of the Crues was surround
cd with The adjacent woods
we're thin and scrawny, and the whole
Immediate world was bleak and chilly.
Now and then a biting wind swept
across the open stretches, and whirled
the snow off the roof Of the house. Be.
times the thin spirals of smoke rising
from the chimney contrasted with the
brittle snowscape.
Shortly after dinner Crue told his
wife he had to haul some logs to Aver
Junction, and expected to be late for
supper.
Crue harnessed his horses and
drove away over the white road,
around the windy corner of the tim.
Der land and out of sight. His wife
watched his departure with phleg'
matte interest.
During the afternoon a neighbor, on
his way across the country, called to
pay his respects to Mrs. Crue. He
knocked on the door and then, with
out further formality, turned the knob
and entered. Mrs. Crue sat in her
kitchen talking with a stranger. The
neighbor excused himself, said he
merely stopped to say a word of greet.
ing, and then withdrew.
Stranger Opened Door.
Later in the afternoon Miss Jennie
Carr, a well-known Groton young
