THE DAILY THOUGHT.

The world lies hid beneath cloak
Of wintry darkness, cold and STILL
No sun in golden splendor shines
To bid us cheer a while, until
The dreary day has passed away!
But | remember darkest days
Are followed by a glorious scene,
When | shall know forever well,
Just what these days of trial mean,
Which all ambition seems to slay.

BODY FOUND IN
 SMALL WINE CASK Italian Is Found Strangled
 to Death near Phila- delphia

Philadelphia, November 26--The body of an unknown Italian apparently about 35 years of age was found today wedged in a wine cask along what is hnown as the Hook road near Norwood, Delaware county, few miles south of this city The man had been strangled to death, the rope used for this purpose having been drawn so tuatly around the neck that it had cut through the skin.
 The legs of the victim were drawn up and bound tightly to the upper portion of the body, but even in this cramped position it was impossible to force the body into the small wine cask. The murderer or murderers were compelled to break the legs of the victim at the ankles before it was possible to nail the head in the cask.
 The spot where the cask was found is along a lonely road which is in- frequently, travelled and it is the be- lief of Delaware county police officials that the man was murdered in one of the many Italian settlements in that county and the body hauled to the spoi where it was found late at night.
 The man had apparently been dead for a week. The cask containing the body had been lying alongside the road for at least three days. It required a' most half an hour to force the cask open, the top having been nailed on with small spikes.

GRAY ID SPEAK ON
 PEACE IN EUROPE

London, November 2s.--It Is many years since such world wide interest centered in the speech Of q British for eign minister as upon Sir Edward Grey's utterance tomorrow upon which the peace of Europe Is believed to hinge.
 Opinions in the best informed quar- ters are hopeful that the debate will open an era of better understanding b.,- tween Germany and Great Britain.
 No blue book of the dispatches relat- ing to the Morocco affair has been pub lished and, therefore, the British for eign secretary is liable to throw u great deal of new light on the sub ject.
 It is expected, however. that he will deliver peaceful and friendly speech, dealing more with the future than the past. The leader of the opposition, An- drew Bonar Law, will follow Sir Ed ward and 1t is expected will give reas- enable support to the government'y foreign policy.

Defense Expects to Introduce Wit. nesses to COrrOborate Woman's Alleged Abuse By Husband.
 May Call His Mother

| Denver November 26.-The second son Patterson for the murder of her
 husband. Charles A. Patterson, will be- l gin tomorrow.
 l The defense expects to introduce witt nesses to corroborate the woman's al- ledged abuse by her husband, and will | then rest.
 On rebuttal for the state 1t is ex-
 pected Mrs. Mary K. Patterson mother
 of the dead man. will testify as to tlie physical soundness of her son. prior to the time he met Gertrude Gibson. The prosecution also will attempt to introduce numerous letters written by Patterson to his brother, a Chicago
 attorney, and probably will attempt to l introduce what purports to be the dead | mans diary written in the form of day notes or letters to his mother. This diary, found among the dead mans effects, has been in the possession
 of Special Prosecutor Benson from the I first. In writing to his mother July 21 Patterson said, according to the diary: When you say in your letter, oh, how I wish she would act right ana leave you entirely and not be snake in | the grass you said a whole lot If ever woman who was demon on
 earth in her home, and then makes out siders believe she was terribly mal- treated, it is her."
 Further down it reads:
 "Oh, mother; did not get T. B. from
 inheritancy or bringing up. An, no. I
 was tortured oand worried to death. And, so help me, have been as true in | thought, word and deed to that woman for a man to be. But from the day Of my marriage until the time I tool, sick, my every move was watched. T was threatened and attacked by hired sluggers under the elevated one night near home, and only my fleet ness of foot saved my life. I would have been slugged to death and the
 verdict would have been held up. Oh
 yes; hold up. I kept all things si-
 lent, because to mention them would lay
 my wife's good name open to question:"
 Referring to the time when he had
 come to Colorado for his health frcm
 tuberculosis the diary says:
 Well, it seems that just about that
 time she was seeking a divorce, and
 God knows she made it living hell for
 me at that time; me, sick man, and
 barely able to walk. She jabbed mo
 with a long pin one day and forced me
 to vince with pain because I had dis
 covered hid away large ruby ring. She had many things, such as an h. dian relic from India, and when I dis covered it in her purse and threatened to throw it away. she threatened to | throttle me-"

 WITH DR. CONNER Declares Engagement With Miss Linnell Broken By
 Mutual Consent

Boston, November 26.-Lines upon which the defense may base its case in the coming trial of the Rev Clarence T. Richeson, former pastor of JmmanucI Baptist church, Cambridge, charged with the murder of his one time sweet heart, Avis W. Linnell, are possibly iri- dicated In statements which pr. Her bert O.

It was to have been only for an hour, during the aunts visit. Neither she nor the others dreamed the deception would have to last q week, and that the divorced wife would appear and be jealous of her for mer husband and Miss McNair's suiter would arrive an dthink she had flouted him and married "Bubbes.''
