WATCH LOST TWENTY YEARS.
Gift Of Practitioners TO prIsst Disoov-

to Go Bathing.

Pittsheld, Mass Twenty years ago
Rev Joseph Quevillion, the priest OF
Notre Dame French Catholic church,
although In his eightieth year, used
TO swim twice a week at the arch
bridge under the Berkshire division OF
the New Haven road The priest was
an eccentric character and always
went alone to the bathing place.
1t was on one Of his swimming
trips that he lost his gold watch,
which had been presented to him on
the completion of his 80 years OF
priesthood. Soon after the loss OF
the watch Father Quevillion died.
Mrs. Flora W. Bagg, a nurse, was
down TO the arch bridge teaching a
pet dog to swim. In picking up
stick she noticed glittering bit OF
gold, which proved to be the stem Of
of Father Quevilion's watch. There
was about foot Of chain to the
watch. II was a hunting case watch
and in the inner case was the inscrip.

those connected with the Woodill
tragedy, secuted the idea today that
woman committed the murder.

coincidence that brought him to live

that Eastman was in California re-
Gently and that he came to the east

Mrs. Woodill soon was coming east.
MRS. Woodill received letter
from her husband urging her to meet
him at Detroit at once. She said she
would not go back west right away.
as she had decided to pay a visit of
several weeks on the eastern shore
We know that when Mrs Woodill did
go to her fathers house she saw a
great deal of Eastman. believe
that at least Mrs. Woodill informed
Eastman that she intended TO go
back to join her husband and that he
became insanely jealous and for
babe it.
Murderer Dead.
1T is easy to conjecture that there
were mutual threats, Mrs. Woodil
had been told much of Eastman's
past life and she could easily have
threatened to disclose his identity to
the authorities
Captain Humphrey said that it
would be useless for him to send men
to ST. Michaels.

Western Tribute to Thomas Paine

He saw oppression and injustice like
giant twins, walk hand in hand. Venality
on the bench. Hypocrisy kneeling at the
altar. Labor crawling in the dust. Hon
esty begging for a crust. Truth assas-
sinated. Rascality wearing the purple; the
strong enslavihg the weak, and the few
spending the profit and the substance of
the many, until his soul revolted and gave
the world his three great books: Common
Sense" cage of Reason,' and "Rights
of Man," and these three books made gods
and popes and kings look sick and pale
and tremble for their crumblng thrones
and falling crowns.
These three great books opened the eyes
of sleepy world and form today the
foundation of that mental liberty which
you and I enjoy.
In the days of Thomas Paine red hats
walked in the open street, while men of
science met under cover of darkness
To give to the world your honest opinion
was fraught with danger.
In the folds of his dress the priest car
ried dagger. Thomas Paine knew this
but unmindfuf of his own safety he wrote
and spoke and fought with pen and ink,
with brain and book, for freedoms bril-
liant star and won.
He lived to sign the Declaration of hide
pendence. The whole declaration gitters
with his genius and his thought
Take from us the word liberty and the
world becomes a damp, dark, dreary, dis
NAL prison CELL where crawl the Shiny
beasts of mental slavery.
Tom Paine was great; his heart was

Synopsis of an Address Delivered at San
Francisco Celebration of the Paine
Centennial.
by Augustus Seymore.)
"The Iconoclast. ~


The following tribute was delivered by
Mr.. Seymore before the Materialist Asso-
citation of San Francisco, June the 9Th,
1909.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
1t is difficult for me to conceive how a
glow worm can add to the lustre of the
MONDAY sun; however, we are met here
for the purpose of honoring the memory of
Thomas Paine, defender of the faith of
"The Rights of Man"
In the words of the great Emancipation,
let me say: "It is altogether proper and
fitting that we should do this, but in a
larger sense, it is rather us the living, who
honor ourselves by meeting here in his
name, since We can neither add nor detract
from the honor, glory and fame which is
his
member what we say here but it can never
forget what Thomas Paine did,"
Like Abraham Lincoln, Tom Paine knew
the bitterness Of poverty.
Unlike Votaire he never did accumulate
much wealth. Like Ingersoll he drank
heavy and deep at VISIONS purest source.
He had more brains than books; he filed
the world with light. Confined as he was
behind the gloomy prison walls of st.
Lazaire, he wrote his Age of Reason, with
out the "sacred book" in the immediate
prospect of violence and death.
His name was on the list Of the con-
demned had Robespierre lived but three
more days Tom Paine would surely have
lost his head and liberty its champion.
This great and gifted man-whose soul
was oak, whose will was steel and flint
was barren of all fear.
He did not fear to stand alone.
His mighty quill was wet with ink in
freedoms holy cause, while cruel priests
did stain their hands with human blood
until the holy cross became the pioneer Of
sword and stake, the symbol of the iron
boot and molten lead.
Blue-grass blade., 1909-07-04

with the slave; he ate the bitter bread of
sorrow as his share while giving to the
world the "Rights of Man."
"He made two ears of corn grow where
formerly there grew but one."
He looked on sin as stumbings of the
bind and knew that in the heart of every
man there is longing for the good and
honest upright things to do.
He knew that man is but plant, part
of nature; self feeble fragile, plant
plant limited in power, harassed by pas
sion's storm; that life, at best, is but
narrow, winding path midst sin and sor
row, tears and thorns-a mere flash of
light upon dark and clouded midnight
sky.
Acquainted with lifes bitterness, its fears
and faiths its joy and folly, this great and
loving man-now dust these hundred years
today-wearied with the toll and strife of
a long and useful life, using his burdens
and his grief for a pillow laid down by
lifes wayside for brief and needed rest
but fell into the everlasting sleep.
Thus passed this soul from this seat of
iniquity and sin to the great unknown,
Kissed by the unclean birds of ChristendOm.
His name is jewel fit for any nations
crown, torch and starlight of his age.
The world will little note nor long re-
member what we say here but it can never
forget the name of ore who placed upon a
nation s brow these stars of hope:
Liberty, Equality and Fraternity, greater
words than ever issued from Jehovah's
shrivelled lips.
/ hope the name of Thomas Paine will
ever live within the hearts and memory Of
every thankful citizen.
