the season last Friday evening, in the parlors of the church, and it was a very successful affair from every standpoint, The oyster supper was very neatly served, and if anything the cookery rather excelled former attempts, notwithstanding the fact that so many young house-keepers contributed to the feast.The bivalves were escalloped to a turn, the rolls were nearly as light and fluffy as could be imagined.The coffee seemed to be of an unusual brew, as if some old Arabjan Sheik had brought the berry on his dromedary from the far East for the occasion.It was a rare ireat to watch the pessimistic and cynical lines of the faces of the guests at the tables give right of way to cheer and good-fel- lowship as they partook of the feast of good things.I never witnessed such a transformation of expression and emphatic proof of the old saw, \u201cthat the way to a man\u2019s heart is via his stomach.\u201d Some implications heard gave the impression that the collation was a heavenly foretaste of the things promised in a certain scriptural injunction, where possibly such good tasting things will be added if the seeking is perfectly to the letter.After the supper, all repaired to the upper room, and all signe revealed that the program given was not less agreeable to the friends met in quest of relaxation and pleasure.Rev.G 8.Clendinnen\u2019s heart eeemed to be in tune with the occasion as he asked for a blessing on the bond, that this expression of the institutional church movement was placing upon the people of the Three Villages, be they eaint or sinner, Catholic or Protestant.Miss Ruth Stevens, Prof.Martin and Miss Hutchinson gave two most excellent numbers with the organ, olari- onet and voice.Prof.Martin's clari- onet playing was in fine taste and the tone was surpassingly true and sweet; it was a pleasing complement to the organ and Miss Hutchinson's soprano.Miss Leggett, the teacher of elocution at Stanstead Oollege, made her firet public appearance in the Three Villages at this time, in two selections sad revealed good qualities as an entertainer, seeming to please our people.Mr.and Mrs.Hovey always meet liberal support and it is a treat to bear them, and the two numbers given were mighty clever.The writer oould but think of the pleasure that must come to » home that can do such work on the violin and piano.Vivian Waterman's recitation was nicely given and she is becoming a pleasing little entertainer.The Ool- lege was liberally represented by its faculty and students, and she song they gave as the olosing number, should have made every one present thankful for the evidenos of good work at this institution, and that it is with us, & rock of defence for things that are of good report and true.The net proceeds for the treasury of the society from this opening evenisg amounted to 67848, HEARD IN SAN FRANCISCO.This week the JOURNAL received the following clippivg from the San Francisco Examiner: \u201cEdward James,

healthy condition, so that they can eat what they want at any time without fear of distress or suffering.After a few days\u2019 use of Mi-o-na stomnch tablets, the headache, dizzy feeling, drowsiness, bad taste in the mouth, coated tongue, nervousness, sleeplessness, distress after eating all these symptoms of a weak stom- ach\u2014will disappear, and perfect gdi- gestion and a good skin will show that the vital machinery is once more running smoothly.Take a little Mi-o-na tablet before each meal so that it will stimulate the digestive juices and give strength to the stomach, and then it will take care of the food that is eaten, without indigestion and the unpleasant full feeling with which so many suffer after meals.Mi-o-na is sold by druggists everywhere for 50 cents, and we positively guarantee to refund the money should you purchase a box and be dissatisfied with results.Write for free sample, addressing Booth\u2019s Mi-o-na, Box 977, Buffalo, N.Y.Henry Ward Beecher\u2019's Sermon on Pan- ice and Brokers.On the Sunday morning following that memorable \u201cBlack Friday\u201d in New York many years ago, one of the oldest veterans in the world of trade finan-e in thie city, beard the Rev.Henry Ward Beecher deliver an eloquent discourse from the pulpit in his Brooklyn tabernacle on the subject of panics and their foolishness.The preacoer denounced the people responsible for bringing about these financial disturbances as gidiots, and stated there was no less money in New York during the panic than before or after; but that it had merely changed hands from one to another, and that through fear and distrust considerable portion was temporarily locked up; but would find its way into circulation again, upon confl- dence beiug restored.The Reverend gentleman then attributed a good deal of blame to the brokers for bringing about financial panics; and in describing what a Wall street broker was, he said: \u201cA broker is a man who transacts business between the buyer and seller, and eventually fleeces both.\u201d\u201d\u2014Montreal Trade Bulle- tn.- Pure Water for 8t.Johnsbury.The state board of health, consisting of Charles 8.Caverly, of Rutland, Henry D.Holton, of Brattieboro, and Fred T.Kidder, of Woodstock, has brought a bill in chancery against the trustees of the village of St.Johns- bury and others to compel them to appear and show cause, if any they have, why a restraining order should not be issued against them, restrain- fog them from further using, or permitting to be used, for domestic purposes the water taken from the Pas- sumpsic

before the court of chancery to be held December 3, to answer to the bill of com- piaint.This is the fret case brought by the state board of health to enforce îts orders unders the authority of section 1 of Act No.115, of the Acts of 1905, as amended by section 1 of Act Mo.130, of the Acte of 1904.The bill of complaint sets up that the water supply was exsmined previous to July 7th 1908 and that the river at the point where the village supply is taken was comtaminated, enwholesome, and impure and of such a quality and ohar- aster that ita use for domestic pwr- poses was a menace and a

the tools used by the pa were taken during the day.\u201cStatements are being prepared and printed showing the number of men who have been thrown out of work since the development of the finan- a cial disturbance,\u2019\u201d\u201dsays the Montreal Gazette.\u2018They are interesting, but they are to be accepted in memory of the fact that in some lines of industry it is usual at this time of the year to dismiss men even when trade is active.People are no more justified in becoming unduly depressed over the situation than they were warranted a year ago in talking as if the country was to boat along on a continuous and eves expanding boom.\u201d A sirange suicide is reported from East Fairfleld, Vt., Miss Hazel Moran, aged about 22 years, daughter of Mr.and Mrs, Bernard J.Moran, who reside about two miles south of that village, committed suicide by saturating her clothing from head to foot with kerosene oil and then setting fire to the clothes and jumping into bed.This was between 2 and 3 o'clock.She made no outcry, and the family had no alarm until they smelled the burning kerosene and rushed to the girl\u2019sroom on the second floor.The flames were extinguished with but little difficulty, but Miss Moran was so terribly burned that she died the next day.The young woman had had oc- casionalfite of insanity in the past but she was usually watcbed atsuch times.No doubt the deed

Boston & Maine Railway come pany, which is the most important case on the docket of the special term of the supreme court now sitting, was takep up last week.This osse was heard at the special session of the Orleans county court last May, an information, having been filed by State's Attorney, E.A.Cook, alleging the violation at Barton Lending, March 26, 1907, of:Act No, 194 of the session laws of 1906.This act provides that every railroad- company doing business in this state shall grant to every person, firm, joint stock company, or corporation oper- sting a public place telephone line in the state, and having at least 500 telephone connections, equal and reasonable terms and facilities for the installation of telephone instruments in all depots, station houses, or offices of euch railroad corporation in the state.March 26 of this year the Vermont People\u2019s Telephone company of Orleans county demanded the right to install one of its instruments ip the Boston & Maine station at Barton Landing and was refused, the railroad having an exclusive 15 years\u2019 contract with the New England Telephone and Telegraph company, which is virtually the Bell Company.The court adjudged the company guilty, but respited sentence and the cause passed to supreme court with the agreement that the cause be remanded for trial by jury in case the supreme court did not discharge the respondent.The railroad company claims that the act provides no compensation to tbe railroad company for the extra burden imposed upon it, no method for determining the necessity of such burden, no method for assessing damages caused to the company for installing euch instrument or for the use of its office or depot or station house and is therefore unconstitutional because it deprives the respondent of the equal protection of law; that it impairs the obligation of its contract with the New England company; that it is in violation of article 2, chapter 1, of the constitution of Vermont; that it is unconstitutional because it violates article 7 of the same chapter in that it appropriates the property of the respondent for the particular emolument or advantage of the Vermont People\u2019s Telephone company and not for the common benefit of the community; that the respondent should not have been adjudged guilty because it did not appear at the time permission was refused that the respondent knew that the telephone company had 500 or ; more telephone connections in Ver- cash.Some tools were missing from | mont, or that the Vermont People\u2019s Telephone company knew the terms or conditions upon which the New England company bad installed its instrument in the station at Barton Landing.The state claims that at common law a public service corporation must grant equal and reasonable terms to those who seek ite service or seek information about it, and that the statute in question imposes less of an obligation upon a railroad than does the general principle of the common law.The statute in question does uot demand equal and reasonable terms except for telephone companies baving at least 500 connections, so that the railroad corporations are protected againet undue annoyances from persons operating small and insignificant telephones.In bis argument for tbe State Mr.Fitts said ip part: \u201cIt is submitted that the requirement of the statute relates strictly to the matter of pablic service.No argument is required to support the statement that telephonic communication has long since become a public necessity.Telephonic communication with railroad stations, freight houses and railroad offices must, in the nature of things, be a matter of constant and pressing necessity, in the way business is in these days transacted.The time of arrival and departure of trains, whether passenger trains are on time, rates of fare, tariffs on freight, and arrival and departure of freight, all are matters concerning which the public in its\u201dnse of the railroad must constantiy inquire.Answering inquiries made by telephone is as much a part of duty of the railroad company in its service to thepublic as answering questions asked in person of ite employée concerning its public service.\u201d In conclusion the attorney-general took up the matter of the exclusive contract.He said that the respondent was able to get the service cheaper by making an exclusive contract, \u201cFor its own benefit, and to its own material gain, it shuts the door of competition and compels the public at large to patronise the New England company.in order to communicate with the respondent\u2019s station houses and offices in the usual way such com- munioations are now for the most part made, i.o., by telephone.The conclusion is, it seems to te, irresiati- ble that the contract between the respondent and the New England Telephone Co., so far as it gave the latter an exclusive privilege or right, was in restraint of trade, againes pablie polley and void.\u201d \u2019 1 ABOUT OUR NEIGHBORS.\u2018The annual meeting of the Eastern Townshipe Hookey Lesgue is to be held at the Magog House, Sherbrooke, on the evening of Wednesday,

asked whether he would accept the Democratic Nomination for President, says the only question that is to weigh with the party is whether the party can be strengthened more by his nomination than by the nomination of someone else.If he can serve the party by being its candidate, he will accept the commission and make the best fight he can.If, however, the choice falls upon another, he will not be disappointed or disgruntled.His | availability 1s a question to be decided, not by him, not by a few leaders, not even by the leading newspapers that oall themselves Democratic, but by the voters of the party, and to them he entrusts the question\u2019s decision.The first term of the Court of King's Bench to be held in the district of Bedford since 1908 opened at Sweets- burg, Monday,

determined efforts to get together what money is owing them and manufacturers are unable to get further credit and are inclined to cut down expenses in order to pay what they already owe.This is being instanced by the way in which some of the larger manufacturing concerns are laying off help.Their output is patorally much reduced.It is a unique pecularity of the present situation that all this time there is an excellent demand for most lines of manufacture.Heads of plants are quoted as saying they could keep their full quota of labor employed and sell the product, but the fact that they could not get satisfactory terms from the purchasers would make the business unprofitable.The brightest feature of the outlook is found in this announcement that the Government will release several millions of money to assist t he banks in taking care of the crop movement.This should very materially affect the situation for the better.Another good feature is the Way in which cellections are coming in ery from almost all parts of the country.While, from some districts, they are slow, from others they are quite good.The general demand for wholesale lines, too, keeps quite good.While this is not likely to continue if great numbers of hands are thrown out of work, there is every reason to believe that the holiday trade will equal, if not exceed, that of former years.The greatly increased population of Csna- ds would ensure this.Drygoods men report excellent sorting orders for fall and winter lines.Values generally remain quite firm.The.volume of hardware trade is good.It is stated retailers\u2019 stocks are Inclined to be light \u2018and t re-orders are good.Shipments continue heavy although navigation is on the point of closing, Declines in raw materials have made little

the Cetinje Jail I found that all the prisoners were | out for a walk.For two hours every morning and again for two hours in the afternoon they are allowed to wander about on the green before the prison.There is nothing, indeed, but thelr own sense of honor to prevent their going farther afield unless they be murderers, in which case they wear chains.The authorities provide them with housing, of course, and with clothes\u2014not uniform\u2014also with a fire at whieh to cook their food, and they give them fourpence a day each to buy it.The prisoners cater for themselves.Two of them go to the market every morning to buy provisions for the day.They are not required to work unless they choose, and they are classified not according to the seriousness of their offense, but according to their standard of life and general behavior.If a man of education and refinement is sent to prison, care is taken to lodge ' him, so far as possible, In a room where the other occupants belong to bis own rank in life.I found on one bed a beantiful counterpane and a pillow covered with delicate embroidery.\u201cYes, poor fellow, that's his wife's handiwork,\u201d the governor of the jail remarked casually as we passed.In one prison life was made so easy and pleasant that on leaving it I ventured to remark that to be there was no punishment, it seemed to me.\u201cNo punishment!\u201d the official who was with me exclaimed in surprise.\u201cBut think of the disgrace of being I had and still have doubts on the subject, for I had just seen a cheery old fellow who, although the time for which be was sentenced had expired, stoutly refused to quit the prison\u2014 Bdith Sellers in Fortnightly Review.| ait i E g \u20ac 8 fig | phrase \u201cGod encompesseth un\u201d goat, however, may have been the original sign, to which mine host add- ÿ The sign of the Cat and the Fiddle is supposed to have originated with the nursery rhyme: Hey dladle diddle, The cat and the fiddle.But other explanations have been offered.One is that it may have originated with certain Caton fidele, a stanch Protestant, in the reign of Queen Mary, and only have been changed into the cat and fiddle by corruption.If this is so it must have lost its original appellation very early, for in 1689 we find \u201cHenry Carr, signe of the Catte and Fidle in the Old Chaunge.\u201d The Bull and Gate, in Holborn, at which Tom Jones alighted when he first came to London, probably took its name from Boulogne Gate.The Bull and Mouth-a frequent sign\u2014 is a corruption of Boulogne Mouth, and both no doubt were intended as compliments to Henry VIII, who took Boulogne in 1544.An inn at Liandaft once had for its sign the Cock.But, trade getting rather depressed, the landlord thought he would try the effect of a new sign.He accordingly put up a portrait of the bishop of Llandaff and called the house by that name.A rival in the neighborhood thought he saw his way to make fresh customers by this change and straightway altered the sign of his inn to the Cock, with good results.Landlord No.1, hearing of this, was greatly exasperated, and by way of checkmating his adversary he had painted up under the bishop's portrait, \u201cThis is the OM Cock!\u201d About a mile outside the little vil lage of Tintwistle is an Inn bearing the sign the Shepherd Is a Very Quiet Man.A former tenant of the house, which is opposite the lower end of Torside reservoir of the Manchester waterworks, was Joseph Brownhlll, known as the Shepherd of Woodhead.He died in 1839, and his portrait still hangs in the front room of the inn, which is locally known as the Quiet Shepherd.This inn can be seen from the Great Central main Hne and is the property of Lord Tollemache of Hel- mingham.Near Prestwich ts the Same Yet.This was formerly known as the Seven Stars, but a bygone landlord decided to have his sign repainted.When the painters asked what they were to put on the board he replied, \u201cSame yet.\u201d And they took him at his word.At Old Turnford, in Worcestershire, there is a sign which represents à negro in a tub.Two women in white aprons and caps are endeavoring to scrub him white, the whole representing the Labor In Vain.Yet another, in the main street of Dudiey, has for a sign the Round of Beef, while somewhere in the south of England is the Devil and Bag o' Nails.And with that I feel I must close my list.\u2014P.T.O.Weekly.A Clever American.A Frenchman, a German, an Eng- {ishman and an American were sitting before an open fire, each one telling of the greatness of his native country.\u2018While speaking the Frenchman took from his wallet a dollar bill, rolled it up, touched it to the coals and lighted a cigar with it.The others were impressed, and soon the German opened his wallet, brought forth a ten dollar bill, rolled it up, touched it to the coals and lighted bis cigar with It.The Englishman thought it very fool ish, but he could not be outdone nor have it appear that England was not, as ever, the richest of all, so he calm- ty took a $100 bill and sacrificed it to light his cigar.The American locked on in wonder.He hadn\u2019t even a dollar bill with him, \"and yet he knew he represented the leading race of all, which was never outwitted nor outdone by any ome or any country, so he quietly drew forth a check book, wrote a check for $10,- 000 on a prominent New York bank, duly signed it, rolled it up, tooched it the coals and lighted his cigar with while his confreres watched him curfously and intently.Wanted-Another Victim.One day an agent of

despatch a petition for a writ of ceritor- | ari in the famous case against Benjamin D.Greene and John F.Gaynor, in which they have been convicted of ' embezzling some six hundred thous- | and dollars from the Government of | the United States, has been filed in Îthe Supreme Court of the United | States.The case will involve some | international questions, because of i the fact that Greene and Gaynor were | arrested in Canada, and for some time resisted extradition to the United States.The question will be raised as to whether a person indicted in the United States for a crime not included in the Canadian treaty can be tried for such crime after his surrender by the Canadian authorities upon a demand for extradition based on other crimes.The two men are under sentence of imprisonment for four years by the United States court for the southern district of Georgia, on the double charge of embezzlement and conspiracy, the conspiracy being alleged to have been committed in connection with Captain Oberlin M.Carter, formerly of the United States army, who has already served a term in prison on the same charge.A CANADIAN PASHA.According to Dr.Morgan, editor of \u201cCanadian Men and Women of the Time,\u201d Commander Ransford D.Buck- nam, of the Turkish navy, who has just been promoted to the rank of Rear- Admiral in that service, with the title of Pasha, is not an American by birth, as claimed by the United States press, but a Canadian.Dr.Morgan states that the new Pasha was born at Hantsport, in Nova Scotia, in 1869, his parents being Ezra Taylor and Isabella Roscoe Bucknam.With them he moved to the state ot Maine, in early life, and at fourteen went to sea in a merchant sailing vessel.His life since then has been both venturesome and eventful.Rising in bis profession, he became the commander of numerous merchant, steam and sailing ships, not only on the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, but on the great lakes.For a time he was superintendent of the American Steel Barge Company\u2019s works at \u2018Panama, and later was placed in charge of Cramps\u2019 shipyards at Philadelphia.Being appointed trial commander of the United States steamship \u2018\u201cMaine,\u201d he was deemed worthy of being given the command of the Imperial Ottoman steamship, \u2018\u2018Medjidia,\u201d\u201d and of conveying ber from Philadelphia to Turkey.This service brought him under the notice of the Sultan of Turkey, who was so much impressed with make bim his naval adviser as well as his personal A.D.C.The date of these appointments was April 19, 1004.At a later period Capt.Bucknam was decorated by the Sultan with the Order of Osmanieh and the Distinguished Service medal.Admiral Bucknam resides at Constantinople, but he remains a member of

was held recently at the office of the Live Stock Commissioner, Ottawa, to consider the calling of the next convention of that body.The meeting was attended by the President, Hon.John Dryden, Toronto, Ont., the Vice-President, Mr.Robert Ness, Howick, Que., Messrs.G.A.Gigault, Quebec, Que., Arthur Johnston, Greenwood, Ont., and J.G.Rutherford, Live Stock Commissioner.Owing to illness the secretary, Mr.Westervelt, was unable to be present.The Hon.8ydney Fisher attended the meeting during the early part of the ay.Arrangements were made for the holding of the next convention at Ottawa, on Feb.5th, 6th and 7th, 1908.These dates were selected so as to permit the breeders from Western Canada and also from the Maritime provinces to attend the meetings of the cattle, sheep and swine associations, most of which will be held at the end of January and during the first few days in February, as also the Horse Show and meetings of the Horse Breeders\u2019 Association, which are arranged for the week following.A programme for the convention was informally discussed, but not definitely arranged.A number of eub- jects will probably be dealt with, but it is likely that the principal discussion will be on the advisability of amending the regulations governing the admission to Canada of pure bred stock.It is also proposed to take up and discuss the best means of retaining for our Canadian breeders the Canadian market for pure bred stock, and it is probable that a number of specially prepared papers on this subject will be submitted.The future of our export trade in pure bred stock will also be discussed, while it is expected that considerable light will be thrown on our export trade in cattle and sheep for slaughter as also our export trade in meats and meat food products.The fact that 8 majority of the live stock meetings are to be held immediately prior to the convention will render it possible for these bodies to definitely instruct their delegates as to the stand they are to take on the various subjects likely to come up for discussion.While this advantage will not be charged by a number of the horse breeders\u2019 associations, it is to be hoped that the latter will hold special executive meetings for the purpose of instructing their delegates to the convention.BROWN'S HILL.News has been received here of the death of Mr.Herbert Stratton, of New York, formerly of Beebe

eclipsed anything they have heretofore undertaken.The supper was on from 5.50 to 8.30 and at least 250 people partook of the unusually bountiful repast served.There was an entire absence of all evidence of the implied hard times\u201d in either the variety, quality or quantity of the food served or the numbers present, and the spirit of the occasion would tend to dissipate all idea of a meagre purse or panicy times.The only panic liable to accrue from the oocasion would be from the overdose of good things one was liable to take on.The young ladies and gentlemen who served did it well.The welcome was cordial and hearty and everybody bad a good time.It was not a secretarian affair, people of every religious stripe were there, and it shows that the villages are getting together, that we are all journeying the same way.The supper made everyone ready to be entertained and the program was well given and every number merits epecial mention.No.1.Chorus\u2014S8chool Room Exercises, was excellent.Song, Captain Baby Bunting by Mary Gilmore in costume was cutely rendered and called out its meed of applause.The vocal duet, \u201cYou can't give your heart to somebody else,\u201d by Misses Irene Finch and Clara Lanctot was a good number and touched the popular chord.Misses Fregean and Paquette in their piano duet, \u2018Flower of Love\u201d revealed such careful work and improvement that it was enjoyed very much.One of the most enjoyable numbers was No.5, song; D sa come over to my house\u201d by Mild St.Pierre assisted by the sweetest little lady imaginable, her sister, Dorothy, four-years-old.It is wonderful how naturally some children take to entertainment of grown ups, \u2018Little Washerwoman™ by Misses Fregeau, Hudon, Paquette, M.St.Pierre, Gilmore, Fregeau and Gilmore was a choice number.Mr.Tellier'\u2019s song, School) Days, was a pleasant feature and the audience insisted on an encore.The Drama, Romance of Phyllis, was a good one and the audience responded well.1st act, characters: Phyllis Merrick, (wilful young girl, ) Aunt Amelia} Clase Lancet.unt Amelia , Aunt Agnes | (Phyllis's Aunts) alice Gilmore.Beatrice Vane, (Phyllia's

boy,\u201d was very clever.The entertainment closed with God save the King.To the ladies who had charge of the entertainment is due the credit of its general success: Mrs.Robert Moore, Mrs.James Daly, Mrs.James A.Gilmore, Mrs.John Paquette, Misses Lily and Mamie Moreau.To Miss Ethel Montle is due the success of the drama, as she had charge of it, assisted by Miss Annie Gilmore, and to Miss Clara Lanctot the children\u2019s entertainment.The stage and hall were artistically decorated with flags and Chinese lanterns, as yas also the candy booth, which was well patronized.The proceeds amounted to $225.00.Temperance Teaching in Schools.In a torn scrap of a STANSTEAD JOURNAL (I think of recent date) I read of one Canadian Educator's plea for temperance teaching.Who said: \u201cWe must teach temperance in our schools,\u201d\u201d words to that effect.So far s0 good.Vermont, some twenty or more years ago, adopted physiology as a compulsory common school study, as & temperance measure, on the plea that children tanght the truth concerning stimulants and narcotics, before becoming anxious to be fashionable, would evade them and the use of them, would die a nataral death with the passing of the then present generation.Dare they?Whereas the temptation to these lies largely in the social phase of them; if Canadian children of the present time are to be saved from these it will doubtless be necessary not only to teach them the truth, but to more fully meet the needs of their social natures; and I have known inetances where boys have been driven, as it were, to the use of these by lack of proper nourishment.[And again example weighs more t precept with youth.Ex-COANADIAN.West Derby, Nov.28, 1907.CASSVILLE.A special service in memory of the late Nelson Bartlett will be held in the

the rabbit struggled bravely, but a powerful pull brought it forth with a bounce.It was a very curious rabbit\u2014in fact, the only one on record which wore a long bushy taf] and a biack and white coat, and, judging by the odor of it, it must have been in that hole a very Jong time.\u2014Outing.The Destructiveness of Worry.As a force, worry is purely negative and therefore destructive; it never Incites; it always discourages, because beck of ît is fear\u2014fear, not of something in view, but of the terrifying unseen.It is the nightmare of day, cruelly absorptive of mental and physical energies and of all diseases the most nerve lacerating.Such a force obviousiy cannot help, but must nec- essarity hinder, the removal of obstacles since itself has already sapped the very qualities essential to success and broken the power of resolution, Moreover, constant brooding often pened.We all have noted instances of the making up of a story from \u2018nothing and its telling and retelling 30 ing many times that ultimately the author met in the street \u2018to buy chocolate creams at certain confectioners.These she doctored with strychnine and then returned them to the shop to be exchanged for another kind.The unsuspecting confectioner made the change and resold the poisoned chocolates to another customer At the inquest, Christiana Edmunds told an artful story of having been ill heréelf as the result of eating sweets bought at the shop referred to.The verdict of the coroner's jury was \u2018\u2018accidental death,\u201d exonera: the confectioner, who was a man the highest probity.For nearly a year afterward Miss Edmunds distributed little bags of WAITED FIFTY YEARS.Crimean Veteran Gots His Medal Af ter Lapes of Half-a-Century.pF, Kyle, à pensioner of the Artille , is 81, but as hale and vigorous as many a man half his age.He is now rustica at A ;
