Woman Some Better.

Last Sunday, Mrs. Malick, the
woman who was assaulted by her
husband out in the neighborhood of
Columbus, was brought to town in an
auto and taken to the home of Mr..
Evan Evans, where it will be pos
sible for the doctor to watch the case
more closely. At the present time a
condition for the better is reported.
An examination of the victim
shows that Malick all but succeeded
in committing murder and undoubted-
ly left his victim only when he thought
death was but matter of minutes.

leprosy IN pawtucket.

The sudden discovery of leper in a
prominent FANNY in Pawtucket opens
up startling question to the people
there If this I5-year- schoolboy,
Harry Sheridan. surrounded by par
ents and older and younger brothers
and sisters. should suddenly develop
the disease, why might we not expect
it to appear elsewhere in the city? EX-
that the boy is the victim of the
dread disease, and he is held at home
under strict quarantine. Two police
officers are on constant guard over the
home, and it is quite probable that the
next step will be to isolate the lad on
the island which has been reserved by
Massachusetts for such unfertunates.
| 1t is strange that this boy should be
suddenly taken i'll, and then for the
first time the suspicion arise that he is
a leper. 1t shakes the confidence in
medical sagacity, especially when, in
spite of the thorough fumigation and
| the evident alarm of medical authori-
ties, they proclaim. over and over,
that no danger whatever attends the
pupils from contagion. although they
have associated closely with the lad
UP to the moment of discovery of his
illness in school. and are expected to
return to their studies in the same
building The action of the board of
health and the assurance of the medi-
cal experts, seem to be contradictory.

another reminder to Republicans who

cause in an "off year" they thought

but they also got few other things
that perhaps some of the voters were
not reckoning upon. First and fore
most they gave the Democrats an OPP
portunity to name a United states
senator, Can office which must remain
in the hands of the Democrats for six
years. then they gave the Democrats
an opportunity to redistrict the State
in their interest so that it will not be
possible during the next 10 years, no
matter how favorable the circum-
stances towards the Republicans, Tor
the Democrats to have less than so
members in the House. AS result

State offices have been given to the
hungry place seekers of the party now
in power, and last, but by no means
least, as result of last September's
election the election machinery of the
| Democrats. 1t is safe To say that a
large number of the voters who rush

| express their dissatisfaction with ex-
listing liquor laws are mighty sorry
now that they did as they did and will
take care not to do so again.

Perhaps some day it may occur to

But perhaps the most striking exam

the spectacle it presents in that branch

Drouth and Fires.

These are days of drouth, high
winds. parched underground, smoke,
anxiety and fire reports. Nearly half
the dispatches going over the New
England wires of the Associated Press
in these days are reports of fire loss
in timberland and city. Sunday was
one of the busiest days for New Eng
land in recent years, but the activities
were confined more to self-preserVa-
ton than to purposes of enjoyment.
Thousands of acres of valuable tim
berland are being burned over. Thou
sands of feet of prepared lumber ana
hundreds of cords of fireweod were
burned ahead of calculation in sun
days fires, and on Monday and Tues
day, from all directions, were coming
reports of destruction by flame, from
the Canadian boundary and the great
wilderness along the border to grass
and brush fires In the remote com
munitjes. and again in the villages
and cities.
All the old evil ones imps seem to
be out with firebrands. Wherever
spark is started, there damage results.
The drouth has become not only seri-
Gus but disheartening in many places.
In some sections of Maine, it has been
many months since there was nor
NAL amount of water in wells and
streams for the convenience of farm
ers and villagers, both for man and
livestock. The ground is dry in farm
ing sections, in spite of the time OF
year when the soil would be normally
sodden and filled with moisture. 1t is
an unfortunate time of year to ex-
perience drouth, for May is the vital
month for the farmer in northern
New England. The crying need is OF
a generous downpour. both for crops
and to stop the fires which are spring
ing up in all directions at once.

Inventor Edison as School Reformer

Schenectady Union)
Thomas Alva Edison has taken a
few minutes from his application to
electrical wizardry to reply to a critic
who had made so bold as to assert that
the inventors moving picture machines
had proved "a curse to the world in
general"
To this assailant of one of his
proudest products Mr. Edison retorts
that in a few years every grammar and
high school and every church will have
a moving picture machine The in
ventor points out that he could teach
more geography in fifteen minutes with
moving picture machine than the
class teachers can teach in as many
days with the present methods: that
the industries. the state of civilization.
the climate. the topography and the
chief productions of foreign countries
could be fixed in the minds of the
pupils more quickly and more clearly
through the aid of the moving picture
machine than in any other way.
lt is indisputable that the motion
pictures are educational as we'll as en-
tertaining. That they could prove of
value in teaching history as we'll as
geography must be conceded. 1t can
be easily seen that they would prove
an important factor in time economy,
which is a vital element.
In the kindergartens the word
method of teaching reading has been
developed in order to save the time
that used to be devoted to teaching
children their letters. From the
word method to the motion picture
would not be such great step.
The word method" however has
critics, among them the Brooklyn
Eagle, which thinks it has raised mis-
chief. The revival of the old fash
Toned spelling bee by Miss Grace Stra-
cfah IN New York prompts the Eagle to
suggest that perhaps the time saved in
teaching history and geography by
means OF moving picture machines can
be devoted to spelling matches.
Whatever may come of the prophecy
OF Mr.. Edison the value of the motion
picture as an educational asset is in
disputable.

A Trap Even for the Wary.

tBrOcktOn ,FntefpflSe.)
Detective Burns used. to trap the
Ohio bribetakers. the modern sensitive
disks which record and pass conversa-
tion along. He concealed these in a
room in which the conspirators were
to meet, and the conversation was
carried by wires to a Stenographef
fifty feet away in another part of the
building. There are traps for the
feet of the criminal set everywhere in
these days when he is of enough i'm
portance to be worth the trouble of
laying the traps. The disk plan is a
case in point. Men of intelligence no
longer dare depend on the written
word when they are laying plans they
do not want the general public to
know. Only the bold ones dare at
such times to depend on the telephone.
The disk scheme presents a new hor-
ror to them, betraying the most priv
ate conversation. All that appears to
be left is for them to learn the deaf
and dumb alphabet and talk with
their fingers. And still lot of the
criminals appear to get along and get

Up from he east; to thank Him for the
That KEEP thee through the night, to

With faih serene, to His complete CON

To ask lis guidance still along the way.

\ busy lay.
Do with q will the task that lies before.
So muci there is for every man to do.
And SON the night when man can work
no more
And nme but he to ifes behest is true
Who works with zeal and pauses only
He stretches forth his hand to help the
men
Who fail or fall beside him on the way.
SO runs the day.
A merry evening
When toll is done then banished be the
care
That frets the soul With loved ones by
the hearth
The evening hour belongs to joy and
To lighter things that make life fresh
and fair
For honest work has earned its hour of
play.
So ends the day.
