ne lst,cuaue.

In the school year of 186G-7, in the town of Topsfeld, Mass, there was at least one committeeman whose com mand of language was unusual This is shown by the annual report of the school committee for that season, part of which is copied here:
 "The primary. center school was in structed by Miss -. Under the guidance of this master hand, in gen uine philosophic simplicity the school presented the same phase of unvarying successful advancement as in former years, from the dissonant mouthings of half fledged juvenile articulation, through the winding passages of sylla- bicism to the Mount Hope of spell reading, the same grateful intersper- sion of gymnastic. vocal, recessive and studious enaction rendering every ex- ercise equally pastime and romano ing the reality of the first efforts in dry study."-Youth's Companion.

SMITH TO TAKE CRAY'S JOB IN
 CITY TRIBUNAL Thus Politician Is to Be Re warded for Delivery of
 Delegates Assistant Clerk Gray Must Give Up Place to Attor- ney Smith Other Off cials Unchanged.

For Judge, Carl Foster.
 Deputy Judge, Frank l.. Wilder.
 Prosecuting Attorney, Alexander L. Delaney.
 Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, William A Redden.
 Clerk, George R. Burnes.
 Assistant Clerk, John Smith.
 This is the city court slate framed up by a conference of influential Re publicans held last night. The reso- lution naming the two judges will find it's way into the General Assem- ply this week.
 The only change is in the assistant clerkship, Attorney John Smith suc- ceeding Attorney John F. Gray. Pow erful influences were brought to bear to retain Gray, but Smiths deliv cry of the Eighth district delegates to the Goodwin candidacy at the city convention last fall. won him recogni- tion from the Republican reigning powers.
 Apparently Gray is to be sacrificed to reward a political debt to Smith.
 The judge names all the other city court officials but the deputy judge, who is named by the legislature. Judge Foster goes back with the inn piled understanding that Gray must give way to Smith, it is said.

An Ancient Die.

Tn the museum at Athens is shown what is probably the only genuine antique die used for coinage that is now extant. It was found in Egypt in 1904 and consists of bronze, engraved with the owl that was stamped on Athenian tetradrachma pieces which contained about as much silver as three quarter dollars. The die is of scientific interest on account of the evidence it gives of the skill of the ancients three eor four hundred years before Christ in metallurgy. It con tains about 221a per cent of tin and nearly 70 per cent of copper. It is extremely hard. but at the same time possesses certain mallea bility, due to the great purity of the copper and tin. which, were carefully freed from all traces of lead and zinc to preserve the hardness and from arsenic and antimony to avoid brittleness.-Har- per's Weekly.

MAN DISAPPEARS ~ FOLLOWING DEATH
 OF PRETTY WIFE
(Contiued from Page 1.)


 his wife's people lived. telling them of alarmed. said pr. Ives. over a say ings account he had established in New York in his wife's name. If she died. the man explained. it might be difficult for him to get the money. There was also talk of legacy to her from relatives in Pennsylvania which he feared would not come to him in event of her death.
 When pr. McQueeney told the bar Der his wife was still unconscious and dying he retraced his steps from Bulls Head. He was not seen at the hospital, nor at his boarding house. nor at the morgue where the body was taken early this morning
 Mrs. Mills said it was possible that he had returned to the boarding house, taken a part of the couples effects left She had not known of the dis turbance during the night. for the boarding house is large. with many inmates. and people go in and out at all hours.
 The effects of the couple are still locked in a room at SIS Main street. There was large trunk, two big suit cases and several bundles, part of which were brought in an express wagon and the remainder in the arms of the couple when they came there last Wednesday.
 Mrs. Mills said she regarded the couple as strangely mated, a Russian wife and an Italian husband, and that the woman remained almost continu- ously in the house. The husband was accustomed to come in between 2 and o'clock every morning, but she did not know where he spent his time.

COMPENSATION
 ACT IS PUT IN BY SEN. HUDSON
Endorsed By Labor Bodies Throughout State = Is Comprehensive Tn It's Ma ture.
(From Our Special Corres.)

(FrOm Our SpeClal COTreS.J
 Hartford, Jan 31.-Senator Stiles Judson of Bridgeport introduced in the Senate today a comprehensive measure providing for a Working mems Compensation act. The meas ure introduced by Senator Judson has already been endorsed by 45 labor unions about the state, including ths central labor unions in all the princi- pal cities except Hartford.
 The measure provides for the crea- tion of state insurance bureau to insure the payment of compensa ton; 1t fixes a scale for death or injury and aims to make the payment as automatic as possible, although ap- peal to the courts is allowed the plaintiff where desired.
 In case of death. a payment of one third the cash value of the amount of wages which the deceased would have received had he lived his full life according to the expectancy tables of the Massachusetts Life In- surance company. It is provided that in no case shall the earnings be com puted at less than $S50 per year.
 In case the injury results in per- manent and total disability, the com- pensation is even greater than this; and is smaller, in less serious cases. The bill also protects the employer from criminal negligence.
 Senator Judson introduced a peti- ton in the Senate in behalf of Ei- win H. Knowles of Bridgeport who requests that Frederick w. and liar old B. Buckingham, now living and of full age, children of his wife, Grace E. Buckingham, to whom he was welded on November 29. 1900, shall become his legal children and embrace his name. in order that they may become his heirs in law.
 The petition was referred to the Judiciary committee.

A young lady once visited the Bald win Locomotice works and then told how a locomotive is made.
 ''You pour" she said, "a lot of sand into lot of boxes, and you throw old stove lids and things into a furnace, and then you empty the molten stream into hole in the sand. and everybody yells and swears. Then you pour it out and let it cool and pound it, and then you put it in thing that bores holes in it. Then you screw it together and paint it and put steam in it, and 1t goes splendidly, and they take it to a drafting room and make blue print of it. But one thing forgot-they have to make boiler. One man gets inside and one outside, and they pound frightfully, and then they tie it to the other things, and you ought to see it gor'

She was not prepared for what she found Mary's whole attitude start led and alarmed her.
 At once, before she knew what she was about, she gave vent to her feel ings.
 why, girl, whatever is the mat ter? Are you ill., You look like like a ghost"
 Emily's precipitancy foiled her purpose, for Mary became suddenly aware of the alarm she was causing. and knew that to carry out her pur- pose she must avoid attracting un- due attention. She forced herself to a smiling denial.
 "Im all right dear." she said.. "I had bad night. I rather think it is indigestion. So I've made up my mind to face the dangers of the dis turbed condition of the country and go for ride"
 The other appeared to accept the explanation, but her gentle eyes watched the girl closely during the rest of her visit.
 'I was afraid of the old fever again. You gave me quite a shock. But I came over to tell youu my good news. You aren't the only one whose husband is returning to you. John will be back the day after to- morrow. He has written me from vryburg."
 Just for a moment a little frown Of pain had drawn Mary's brows to- gether, but the next a tender smile was playing about the corners of her mouth. It was harder to talk to her friend now than she had ever thought to find it.
 I'm so glad. You have been very brave and kind while he has beene away. Why. he's been gone over six months,an I've never heard you complain once. Oh, Emily dear, I wish I had som mething of your good- ness and courage. don't know what would have become of me with out your strong aid"
 "Tut, tut, my dear" protested the other brusquely. Were not here to think always of ourselves. What's the use of life if we can't do some thing for other folks when thinks aren't streight for 'em? Now, my John is the most unself1sh creature living. With him it's give, give.

A curious Napoleonic relic. still pre- served in St. Helena is pair of shut ters, each with peephole. St. Helena was strongly garrisoned in NapoIeon's time for divers reasons, and the Brit ish soldiers exercised on Deadwood plain, close to Longwocd.
 Napoleon liked to look at them, but did not like them to look at him {: hence those two shutters, one with hole on level with his eye while standing and the other with a hole adapted to his vision while seated.
