or discussion, when a pompous-looking
man entered and sat down and looked
all around and then fixed his gaze on

Washington has rolled around again"

seconds the pompous man spoke
again:

The sweetest songs come not from the
threats
OF those who are known to fame,
For over and over the wild birds notes
VIII put them all to shame.
The tenderest heart is not the heart
That makes the greatest show,
But the one that comes in the hour of
grief,
And helps to bear the blow
The greatest life is never the one
That of wondrous acts can boast,
But the life that sweets some other life
And supplies its needs the most.
And the life most needed is not the one
That climbs to the mightier deeds,
But the one that helps another on
And gives 1t the love 1t needs.
And so our prayer is not for share
OF the things the world calls great,
But the power to help some brother on
To a higher and happier state.

Richeson's Confession OF Murder.

Rev. Clarence V. T. Richeson, former
pastor of the Emmanuel Baptist church
in Cambridge, Mass, wrote Jan. 3, a
confession, to the effect that he poisoned
his former sweetheart, Miss Avis Linnell.
This statement was made public last
Saturday and was given by his counsel
to the press for publication. He said he
was moved to this course by no induce
ment of self benefit or leiniency, but that
his conscience and manhood, however de-
PRAYED and blighted, would not admit of
still further wronging by public trial
her whose pure young life l have de-
stroyed."
Richeson was brought from the Charles
street Jail in Boston into court Tuesday
and on pleading guilty to the charge of
murder was sentenced by Judge Sander
son to death in the electric chair during
the week of May 10.
