Browning's Preparations in rime are
probably unique In English poetry.

What Else They Were Was Quantity
Told by Mary Lyon.
When in 1887 Mary Lyon founded
Holyoke college she collected the mon
ey required for its first building in
Sums that ranged from 6 cents to
$1,000. She got 1900 persons to sub
scribe. Her feat gave the new enter
prise an unusually wide foundation in
the public interest, but she did not ac-
conplish it without much hard work
or without gaining wide experience Of
human nature.
One evening Miss Lyon arrived in
the village of Ashfield, Mass, at a
home where she was always welcomed
gladly. She was full of hope and en-
thusiasm. Would the squire take her
at once to w., where. she had learned
there was family Of wealth that
might give literally toward the semi.
nary building?
Supper and good nights rest, Miss
Lyon" was the reply, land then my
horses shall take you there"
The next morning as they were start
ing the squire's wife laid gentle hand
on Miss Lyons shoulder. with the
warning: "DO not expect too much, my
dear Miss Lyon. We know the people
fear you will not be successful"
With beaming face Miss Lyon re-
piled: "Oh, l am told they are very
rich. am sure they will help liber'
ally"
When she entered the house on hel
return Miss Lyon went quickly to hel
friend, and. grasping her arm. while
conflicting emotions played over hel
face. she said:
Yes, it is all true, just as l was told
They live in u costly house, it is full
of costly things, they wear costly
clothes then, drawing nearer and
almost closing her eyes. she whispered
with unforgetable emphasis, "but. oh
they're little bits Of folks"-YOuth's

PATHETIC CASE
IN SPOT LIGHT
Mother Of Four, and Wife
Of Three, Convicted in
Vancouver, &c.

HOQUIAM, Dec. ia most pathe
tic story has been revealed here
with the news received Monday OIL
the conviction of Mrs. Ed. Stanfield
a Humptulips rancher's wife, charged
with bigamy. The woman was con
victed in Vancouver, B. c., but was
given a suspended sentence.
The story of Mrs. Stanfields mis-
fortunes is rather long. yet the case
is pathetic to the extreme. She was
first married in London, and there
appears to be no difficulty concern
ing the first marriage. As the re
suit Of the union, one child was born
Mrs. Stanfield, who was then Mrs
Henley, married again in Rapids City
Canada. She married Fred Smith
The woman says she received let
ter from Smiths mother telling Of
her husbands death. Several years
later she read an advertisement In
a Spoake paper from a man wish
ing a wife. Correspondence followed
and in 1905 she married Ed. Stan
field. Only a short time after their
marriage, she discovered that Smith
was not dead. 1t was then that Stan
field got busy. He found Smith and
endeavored to have his wife sent to
the insane asylum. Failing in this
he had her prosecuted on the charge
of bigamy.
While Mrs. Stanfield was not fore
ed to serve sentence in Canada, her
husband declares there will be furth
err trouble now.

inserted his bare arm beyond the ell
bow in chamber refrigerated to a
temperature of 157 degrees below zero

age, but experienced II number of Pc
culiar and painful sensations. The
chief Of these and the most trying was
a feeling Of pain In the bones of the
hand and arm.
The pain increased steadily. 1t was
located chiefly in the interior parts of
the arm and was far less severe in the
portions near or Mt the surface. The
skin was purple when the member was
withdrawn. In about ten minutes n
violent reaction set in with violent
burning sensation of the skin wherever
1t had been exposed.
Investigations carried on with dogs
indicated that the process Of freezing
to death is not necessarily an unpleas-
ant one. Placed in temperature of
