A Matter Of Conscience.

How many people, | wonder have any
active conscience about the returning OF
lost articlesG
BY having an active conscience about
lost articles | mean looking upon it as
positive responsibility 70 do every
thing one can towards getting any val.
liable article which one finds back to its
owner.
Doubtless someone says that it's up
to the owner to do the chasing, that
it isn't the finders responsibility at ALL
! know 1t isn't legally, but think it is
morally.
If you lose anything, you want the
man who finds it to do anything he
can towards getting it back to you, don't
you2 Well, the very best way to insure
that is to do the same i you find any
thing
How does that helps Wen, I can't
just analyze it. but it's one Of my be-
liefs that acting in an honorable and al
truistic and otherwise desirable manner

ENOUGH ARDEN
GOES TO LAW
Unromantic Returned Wanderer Has
His Wife Arrested On Charge of
Bigamy.

Wilkes-Barre, Pa, Dee 49,. The latest
Enoch Arden to come to light appeared
in this city Wednesday and promptly
took most Of the romance out Of his
story by charging the woman he left
here as his wife with bigamy, and ask
ing warrant for her arrest.
He is Lord Fowler of an old and dis
tinguished family Of French refugees,
who disappeared from Meshoppen, five
miles west of here. 10 years ago He
left no trace and kept himself complete
" hidden until three months ago, when
he came back looking for Mrs. Fowler
True to the lines OF Tennyson ro-
nance, Mrs Fowler had worn her heart
out looking for her missing husband,
and in the course Of six years married
w. w Price, firmly believing. she says,
that Mr.. Fowler was dead. Three
months ago he reappeared, and without
giving any record Of his itinerary for
the preceding ten years, went before the
grand jury and succeeded in having Mrs.
Fowler Price indicted on a bigamy
charge.

NOPLANS FOR THE FUTURE
Still Holds to Belief That He Reached
the North Pole--Says He Was in
United States Less Than
Month Ago.

New York, Dec. %. DR.. Frederick A.
Cook came back to his native land yes
terday on the steamship George Wash
ington as calmly as If there had never
been north pole dispute. He looked
well aud said little; a typewriter in
terview handed to reporters embraced all
that he had to say except the neces-
sary conversation thrust upon him by
interviewers. OF far more dramatic in
terest was a heated controversy among
the steamship passengers concerning the
impression he had made upon them.
The doctor still asserts that he believes
he was at the pole. Here is his state
nlent in part:
Il have no statement to make other
than that which / have carefully pre-
pared and which is now being published.
Any interview might give would nee
essarily be fragmentary and doubtless
misleading also, so shall not now give
out any interview, and any purporting

Henry Trayne and his wife, Laura,
had been married ten years and had
not been blessed with children. Hen
ry was thirty eight and Laura was
thirty-two. They had reached the age
where childless married people begin
to try to supply the deficiency by pets.
Henry Trayne, who was a profess
Eional chemist and mining engineer,
was offered every inducement to go TO
the Pacific coast and direct the opera
lions of mine Besides his salary
be was offered some stock of the COM
pany. For long time he declined,
not caring to break up his home on an
uncertainty the mine might prove
worthess-or to leave his wife while
the experiment was being made, but
1.-The WOLF was prowling about the
door and at last the couple made up
their minds to bear the separation.
Henry was obliged to make a pre-
liminary trip to a distant city where
the capitalists who were to employ
him lived in order to talk matters over
and become posted as to his work.
During this absence, which lasted a
month, Laura had a taste of what she
was to endure during the longer sepa-
ration. When her husband returned
the couple were enraptured at the re-
union, being like a young couple in
their honeymoon, except that the long
er separation stared them in the face
When the March winds were blow
ing Henry babe his wife sorrowful
adieu and went to the field Of his OPP
erations. During the first month Of
absence Laura wrote him every day
''Chimmy" the dog, dear boy, misses
you very much The day you left he
whined and fretted and ran about pin
ing for his dear papa Toddle' (the
parrot said yesterday. oh, Henry,
how can / live without you? I wonder
If the dear girl got that from me-"
Had the letters fallen into the hands
of strangers they would have supposed
the writer to be referring to beloved
children. However after a few weeks
possibly Laura was becoming more
accustomed to her husbands absence
and did not need to lavish so much
love on Chimmy and Toddie-the let
tiers assumed a more practical tone.
Laura hoped the venture would be
successful. They were getting on
toward old age and nothing laid up.
1t would be nice If in addition to
Henry's salary the shares that had
been given him would become valu-
able. Then they would not have to
worry about the future. In one of her
letters she asked Henry If there were
good schools in the district where the
mines were located Henry wrote back
that he hadn't taken any interest in
the schools, for if they made the place
a permanent home, not having any
children of their own, 1t wouldn't
make any difference To which Laura
replied that she thought Toddle could
be taught to read and she wouldn't
like to take her where such thing
would be impossible II desired. Henry,
who had got used TO being separated
from his pets, thought this absurd.
six months passed. and no immedi-
ate prospect Of Henry's getting home.
October came, and there was a rich
strike in the mine, The success of the
enterprise was secured, but still Henry
could not get away In December he
left everything to go home and spend
Christmas with his wife and CHIMNEY
and Toddle.

Women Braver Than Men.

1t has always been maintained that
women were more courageous at stand

new claim that they are drawer. more
careless of their own safety, quicker to
act than men in an emergency Yet
according to Herbert Longfellow, chief
Of the United States volunteer life say
ing corps, in the january Designer, and
only women, but children are Drawer
than men. He is quoted as saying:
ut has been my experience that wom-
en- and children are more heroic than
men. They are more impctuous. A man
thinks of his responsibility, Of those de-
pendent on him, and Of his own personal
well-being. Women and children think
of nothing but she humon life in peril
They act on the moment, so quickly that
fear has no chance to sway them at all.

It is pitiable comment on the Amer
lean people to read the accounts in the
newspapers, especially those Of the larg,
er cities, though Barre is not exempt,
Of shoplifters. whose harvest time is the
Christmas season, when the crowded
stores give an opportunity for those so
inclined. Who ever heard of a man who
was a shoplifter, and how can any wom-
an be small enough to take what she
knows is not her own, simply because
she thinks she may avoid the gaze Of
the store proprietor? Many who would
shrink from walking into a neighbor'
house and taking an article pleasing to
the eye, hesitate not 20 smuggle goods
from store The pity Of it is that
some do actually escape detection, but
those who are found out must feel like
thieves and shrink from the eyes Of
friends and strangers alike, unless they
are so hardened that they have lost all
