AIanasquan. n. j., Feb. 9--Hard and

state rifle range at Sea Grit, near here,
the British tramp steamer Queen Louise,
which ran aground in a fog early Sat
urday, was still sound Of hull yester-
day and in no immediate danger of
breaking up. A brisk wind out of the
west sprang up Saturday afternoon and
beat down the heavy easterly ground
swell which had been running. and Capt.
McDonough of the freighter, who re-
manned on board with his crew of about
twenty, had no fear that his vessel was
not safe for the present, at least

ice in some pond near Brookline and was

PARDON SLAYER
AFTER 10 YEARS
Stockwell, Who Killed Police Sergeant
in Manchester, N. H., in 1895,
Goes Free.

Concord, N. H., Feb. 9.--Frel A. Stock
well, who has served 10 years Of 80
year sentence for killing Henry Meal.
lister, police sergeant at Manchester,
was pardoned Saturday. Stockwcll, who
was patrolman at Manchester, had
been drinking heavily before the shoot
ing and believed AlcAllister was perse-
cutting him.
Mayor French, cousin of StockwelI,
and the leader in the pardon movement,
secured the pardon warrant late in the
afternoon, went by automobile to the
prison and took Stockwell to the home
of Stockwell's daughter, Mrs. Fred Well
come, on Center street. She was born
after Stockwell began his prison term.
A few years later Mrs. Stockwell Sc
cured a divorce. The little girl was
told that her father was dead. She
used to decorate a grave in Pine Grove
cemetery, Manchester, where she sup
posed her father was buried, until some
girl chums told her a few years later
that her father was in state prison.
Then the daughter went to the prison
and found her father.
The daughter eventually married and
has child, so Stockwell has become
a father and grandfather since he was
in prison.
The efforts to get pardon for Stock
well have dragged along for three years
and have formed notable struggle, just
as the original ease was one of the most
sensational in the state.

The Changing Age

Girls and boys from IA to Io years
of age undergo physical changes
which tax their strength to the utmost
and the strain is always apparent from
pale cheeks, colorless lips, and tired
bodies-sometimes eruptions OF the skin
and the utter lack of the ambition and
animation with which their younger
years were filed.
Budding into womanhood and man
hood, with the duties of school or business,
demands concentrated nourish m n
which is readily convertible into red blood

very best thing for this changing age Is
the medical nutriment in Scott's Emul-
sion--it possesses the rare blood-making

Paris, Feb. 9.--AIiss Christabel Pank-

Saturday it was untrue that there was
any personal estrangement between herr
self and her sister or her mother, or
that she intended to return to England.
There is nothing new" Miss Parkhurst
said, ''in the relations between Sylyia's
East Ende federation of stfragettes
and the w. $. z. IT,, Sylyias movement
having been independent. They always
have had even separate funds, and there
has been no connection between the two
bodies"
Miss Christabel said that the story
that she disapproved of the recent vio-
lent militant manifestations, because
she wanted to return to England, was
untrue. She was just as contented here,
she said, as she had been for two years,
and she thinks everything is going
splendidly in England.
