"VAMPS" WHO
MADE HISTORY
BY JAMES c. YOUNG.
THE WOMAN ~PoISoNER.

IF EVER Il woman deserved the name
1 Of vampire that woman was the
Marquise de Brinvilliers. Her mis-
deeds shocked even medieval Europe
in IA day when terrible crimes were
not unusual. This Marquise was IA
pretty little woman with an air of
youthful innocence. one day she was in
troduced by her husband to Godin de
ST. CroiX, a young cavalry officer OF
gay ways. The scandal Of their rela-
lions oon became d topic Of the hour.
When the husband Of the Marquise
failed TO interfere, probably because
of his flight before creditors, her
tile. There the young blade medi-
tated vengeance. A means came TO
his hand through an acquaintance
made in prison with one Exili, IA man
skilled In the methods of the Italian
prisoners.
When st. Croix was released IA year
later he plotted with the Marquise to
be avenged on her father. He told her
of the ~poisoner's recipes, and she tried
their effect on poor people who came
to her door in search of aims. And
by watching the results she decided
that il was safe to attempt the life of
her parent. This she did with com
plete success in 1866.
st. Croix had been avenged. But
more pressing matters weighed upon

money. Then the natural question
arose why not poison her two brothers
and sisters so that she wouid inherit
the whole estate? But these guilty
lovers were crafty. They waited four
long years. when the W brothers
were despatched, with the aid of a
valet. An investigation followed. o
ing the method of their death, but
without directing attention TO the
Marqulse. Then st. Croix suddenly
died. He had no heirs, so the police
were called in, and found among his
papers documents which incriminated
the Marqulse and the valet. The latter
was caught, tortured, and confessed.
Then he was broken alive on the
wheel. But the Marquise had taken
flight TO England. Afterward she
went to Germany and finally TO a
convent at Liege, where she was de-
coyed by a police official disguised as
a priest. When arrested Ii was dis
covered that this unnatural woman
bad kept a full account of her life and
crimes. She returned to Paris a pris"
oner. There she underwent the torture
In her turn and finally was beheaded

JEDEDIAH STRONG SMITH, THE
AMERICAN ULYSSES

This is a story of a modern Ulysses
Il frontier zero of many Wanderings,
who died without receiving the fame
ice TO America has beer but lately
appreciated by his c%ountrymen. Jede-
dIah Strong Smith was his name, and
his contribution to history WAS the
lirst accurate mapping of the great
west.
Smith was born in New York in
1888. AS Il boy he played with the
y1ung Seneca Indians of Chief Corn
planters tribe, and learned their lore.
lie became an expert with the bow
and arrow, which he afterward car
ticd Oh all of his expeditions. Once
ne brought down a hawk flying about
- yards above him, and he could
drive shaft to the heart of IL buff
faio as skillfully as any Indian hunter.
IN years OF wandering Smith
crossed the western country on the
eouth from the Colorado river to the
l'iicitic; he crossed it midway from
The Rockies to the Pacific, and he
traVersed it on the north from Cali
fornia to the Rockies. He visited all
The important streams from Arizona
10 the Yellowstone country, and he
lla,ie accurate notes of all he saw.
This Information was used in correct
ins the unreliable maps Of the day
a.st. proved Of inestimable value to
later explorers.
Smiths death was heroic. In 1881
he WAS guiding Il wagon train owe
The Santa Zee trail. The train had TAX
en- Il short cut around the head of the
Cinialron river and soon was lost in
a desert country. Water must be
found ut once Smith set out in search
Of a stream, and finally reached one.
While drinking, he was surrounded by
Il band of Comanches, who determined
TO have the white mans gun.
The Indians signaled peace, and af-
ter talking in the sign language for a
while, they succeeded in frightening
Smiths horse. AS it turned, they shot
at the scout with arrows, wounding
him in the arm. Smith wheeled about,
shot the chief dead with his rifle and
killed two more savages with his pis-
tolls. Then grasping his AK, the scout
dashed into their midst. They cut
him down with their lances, but when
they approached to scalp him, Smith
rose up again and stabbed three of
them with his knife. Then he dropped
dead. The Indians afterward admit
ted thar he had killed IL of their party
before he died.

What Are Roads For?

Editors Pleasantville Press:
The question is o what do we
have a Supervisor for? We taxpayers
OF Linwood Boro dgh would say what
do we pay Road tax for? Well, il
some of the residents OF West venue
would say 10 our Supervisor, don't you
haul any wood over West avenue, it
cuts up the road SO, just imagine his
reply. Would he drive a half mile
out of his way; well, | should say not.

Der winters of snow, our supervisors
getting men with shovels to clear out
the roads. After a few years there
was a snow pillow put in use to clear
the road. This winter our school chill
dren, twice as many in number, are
either compelled to wade in snow up
to their necks and sit all day in
school with wet feet or remain home.
What is our Supervisor doing?-toast-

People try to nave a sidewalk. Along

The Shooting of SONG Birds.

ne Snootinq OF song bros.
Editors Pleasantville Press:-
| notice in last weeks Pleasantville
Press the complaint about boys on
Lorraine avenue using their air rifles
reeklessly and killing song birds. |
know there is no truth in these charg-
es as the boys know it is against the
law to kill song birds, the only birds
they killed were a few sparrows.
Ii this were true I'm sure that the
Game Warden who lives near by
would be on his job.
That article a written by one
who has a crouch on his neighbors
and permits his chickens to trespass
on his neighbor's premises. | think
no healthy boy can control himself by
taking a few pot shots on this variety
of song birds, in order TO drive them
from his folks premises. AS that
party never had the pleasure to raise
any children of his own, he certainly
had no business 10 locate on this ave
nue.. AS to the rough element | wish
to state that this may apply to them
selves, as they have disturbed the
peace of this avenue since last sum
mer, which the residents OF this ave
nue. can testify.

AN OPEN STATEMENT

The information reached us Fri
day that either by maliciuos intent
or the result of idle waggling tongues
had been circulated and now at
large false tale that due to the
fall of the snow this season the Gem
Theatre is unsafe.
We wish to advise the public and
especially inform thise who would
start talk of this kind that the
snow never lays on the roof of the
Gem Theatre. Due to the heat with
in it goes off almost as fast as it
falls and never remains to exceed
two or three days at the most and
then only small amount We have
seen over six inches at a time on the
widespread of the roof and not
much more against the fire walls
where it might drift a little and this
leaves very quickly.
In the second place there isn't a
better constructed building in this
entire locality than the Gem Theatre.
One is just as safe in the Theatre
as they would BIO at home, in many
cases. and fully as safe as in many
public buildings When the Gem Thea
tire was being constructed 1t was TAX
en- into account the necessity for
strength in a snow falling country
and every requirement was cared for.

One season when there was heavy
fall of snow and before the building
was heated there was on the roof of
tho Gem Theatre at one time by
measurements IL feet OF snow and
never moved tho roof so much as a
hairs breath. -.
Before tho snow fall of Thursday
and Friday nights the roof was dr.
and most oil tho snow falling that ev-
ening melted Immediately We will
gladly direct one desiring to inspect
same.
Wo feel that in this case 1t is like
the old addage about the lie. First
some one told it then the room would
not hold it SO they rolled it and roll,
