William Burch was graduated at the
scientific school of the university
and became an assistant in an insti-
tuition for original scientific research.
Having a rich uncle, unmarried and
childless, who was intending to make
him his heir. he had laid out career
for himself by which he might devote
his time to study and investigation.
This uncle, a Mr. Trevor was cashier
in a bank.
One morning young Burch received
a note from his uncle asking him to
call that afternoon at 8 o'clock. Burch
called. Half an hour later he was
seen to leave his uncle's house very
red in the face and muttering to him
self. The only person living in the
house with the uncle was an old wo-
man who took care of it. She heard
Mr.. Trevor say during Burch's visit:

Mr.. Trevor always went out to din

4 o'clock he had not gone to dinner.
She went to his room, knocked and
received no reply. Entering, she saw
his dead body on the bed.
Running TO the telephone. she called
up William Burch and told him to

Maine is causing the republicans a
great amount of concern. The state is
full of republican insurgents and ag-
gressive democrats. While more or
less republican for many years, the
state has a habit of occasionally cut
ting loose. The memorable occasion
when Maine went II bent for Gov
ernor Kent Is still fresh in our minds
Maine was also a greenback state.
The prohibition issue is some years a
source of weakness to the republicans
and sometimes a source of strength. In
1908 the republican candidate for gov
ernOr was elected by less than 5000
majority. There is general feeling of
unrest in the state now among repub-
licans on account of the Payne-Aldrich
tariff law and the general unpopularity
of the Taft administration. To say
that Maine is now doubtful state is
not an exaggeration. There is an old
political truism, "As Maine goes, so
