ranging from 1OO.5OO1 to 1925. Har.

other large bids at about that figure.
Among the smaller bids prices ran
to 105 and higher for small allot'

bids for sums ranging from $1,000 900
to $1o.o00,000 at prices between 102h

be known for few days.

Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1911-12-28

II was New Years night. An aged
man was standing by the window. He
mournfully raised his eyes toward the
deep blue sky, where the stars were
floating like white lilies on the sur
face of clear, calm lake. Then he
cast them on the earth, where few
more helpless beings than himself
were moving toward their inevitable
goal-the tomb Already he had pass
ed sixty of the stages which lead to
1t, and he had brought from his jour
ney nothing but errors and remorse
His health was destroyed, his mind
unfinished his heart sorrowful, and
his old age devoid of comfort.
The days of his youth rose up in a
vision before him, and he recalled the
solemn moment when his father had
placed him at the entrance of two
roads, one leading into a peaceful,
sunny land, covered with fertile har-
vest, and resounding with soft, sweet
songs; while the other conducted the
wanderer into deep, dark cave,
whence there was no issue, where poi
son flowed instead of water, and
where serpents Kissed and crawled
He looked toward the sky, and cried
out in his anguish: ooh, youth, re-
turn! o my father, place me once
more at the crossway Of life, that |
may choose the better road" But
the days of his youth had passed
away, and his parents were with the
departed. He saw wandering lights
float over dark marshes, and then dis
appear. Such, he said, were the
days of my wasted life!" He saw a

in darkness athwart the churchyard.
Behold an emblem of myself" he
exclaimed; and the sharp arrows of
unavailing remorse struck him TO the
heart.
Then he remembered his early COM
panions, who had entered life with
him, but who having trod the paths of
virtue and industry, were now happy
and honored on this New Years
night. The clock in the high church
tower struck, and the sound, falling
on his ear, recalled the many tokens
OF the love Of his parents for him |;
the prayers they had offered up in his
behalf. Overwhelmed with shame
and grief, he dared no longer look to-
ward that heaven where they dwelt.
His darkened eyes dropped tears, and
with one despairing effort he cried
aloud, Come back, my early days!
Come back"
And his youth did return; for all
this had been but dream, visiting
his slumbers on New Years night
He was still young, his errors only
were no dream. He thanked God fer.
vently that time was still his own
that he had not yet entered the deep
dark cavern, but he was free to tread
the road leading to the peaceful land
where sunny harvests wave.

exactly one day later Even if you do
not keep the sun over you on your
voyage, it is apparent that you will
reach your starting point with your
calculations one day out, unless you
have provided for this by striking out
an extra day on the calendar. If you
travel against the sun you will have
to add a day to the calendar.
The convention that has been estab-
lished with regard to this matter is to
consider the day as beginning at the
1S0th meridian, so that the 1S1st
meridian is always a day ahead of the
179th. AS the day begins first at the
1S0th meridian, the New Year comes
first at that point, too, being there
twelve hours sooner than IL comes at
Greenwich.

October 81.

August 81 of this year, Richie
son visited the Hyannis fair with
Avis -Linnell, and even then the
girl knew nothing of the heiress
who had supplatned her.
She still was wearing Richie
sons ring, and she told her
friends they soon were to be mar
ried.
On October 10, Richeson pur-
chased a quantity of cyanide of
potassium 'ffor the purpose of
killing dog" at a drug store in
Newton, Mass.
October IA, Avis Linnell was
found dead in the bathroom Of
the Boston Y. w. c. A. She was
sitting in chair, her feet in warm
water, clean clothes lying by her
side.
And her death was due to cya-
hide of potassium poisoning.
October Is, a police autopsy
revealed that Avis Linnell was
soon to have become a mother.
The police whispered murder,
and that same day, Richeson fled
into hiding at the home Of his
fancee, Violet Edmunds. X
October 18, he retained an at
torney although his name had
not been mentioned by the police.
October 20, police officers sur
rounded the EdnlandS mansion,
and arrested Richeson.
October 81, the date set for the
wedding to Violet Edmands,

! criminal annals.
Richeson was pastor of the lit
tie Baptist church at Hyannis,
Mass, during the summer of
1910.
Avis Lynnell's home was at
.:Hyannis. She was baptized into
the church by Richeson.
Richeson openly made love to
Avis. The girl, loved him. No
: engagement was announced. But
all Hyannis took an engagement
for granted.
And Avis wore diamond-ring
given her by Richeson.
Richeson's language from the
pulpit became such that the
sturdy fishermen of Hyannis
forced him to resign the pastor
ate.
Soon after, he accepted the call
OF the Emmanuel church, of Cam
bridge, the most fashionable
suburb of Boston.
Avis Linnell followed the man
she loved. She, became music
student in Boston conservatory.
Violet Ednaands, heiress and
possessor of $4,000 in her own
!. right, was one of Richeson's new
: congregation.
She was much older than
. Richeson, but her wealth dazzIed

her and won her.

enough to tell her that he was en-

NEW DEVICE FOR
 FILLING LUBRICATOR

Elmore c. Jordan, locomotive engineer on the Los Angeles divis- ion Of the Southern Pacific com pany, has recently received a pat ent OF new device for the filling of lubricators upon locomotives by means of compressed air. The de vice is extremely simple and pro yides means by which the central reservoir Of the lubricator can be filled at any time while the engine is hot, and without any waste ot lubricating oil or any danger to the operator fton leaking valves, an ar- rangemeut greatly appreciated by the engineers on the long, straight away runs on the Southern Pacific.
 At the time Jordan completed his invention, he brought it to the at teution Of the Southern Pacific Of fcials and through them patent let tcrs were granted It was expert mented with upon the huge Mallet locomotives of the Southern Pacific company and later pronounced prac- tically a necessity on account cf the location of the lubricators on these engines. since these lubrica- tors are so high on the boiler head and difficult to fill.
 With Jordans invention the lu. bricators can De filled while the en- zine is in motion without taking the usual necessary dime to cool the lubrieator. It is being used on all locomotives of the Hartman
 lines and wiil undoubtedly soon De taken up by many other railroads.
