A SCHOLAR AND A SCOUNDREL Tht Htro of Bulwtr'i Novl and U II M k. m .... noooi roem was Keiiy a Vila Criminal Who Abandontd Wifa and Childran and Knew No Ramoraa. Eugpno Arnm, the scholar nnd mir dorer who Inspired two of the master. pieces of English literature -Hood's poem and Dulwer's novel was buoged on Aug. 0, 1750. ' Aram was ..born In 1704 In York hlre. By the tlmo he was fourteen years old ho was regarded In the nolgh Iwrhood as a prodigy of learning. His fame for piety and gentleness is a scholar spread,, and as a result he was invited to Kiinrenborougu to open a school In 1734. , There a strango de velopment loos piaco m Aram's char acter. He formed an osioclatlou with a drinking, turbulent crowd-of men, the oppoHlte of hlmmtlf, among them Daniel Clark, who kept a little cob bler's shop, and Richard Houseman, a flax dresser. In 1745 Clurk marrlod a woman with A small fortuno of $1,000, Immediately be i and his companions dovlned a scheme to rob her and her friends. uiarK was to obtain all the goods be could on credit nnd band them over to Aram and Houseman who were to de posit them In a safe place. Then after securing the plunder Clurk was to do camp, leaving his wife to shift for her self, and the .property was to be sold and divided among the three men. . Clark went about procuring a wide "variety of articles on credit He pre tendod he was about to give a great wedding feost nnd borrowed silver ttankards, salvers spoons, , etc., from whoever would lend them. As fast as the different articles were obtained Clark, accompanied by Aram and Houseman,; carried them to a place called St, Robert's cave. When Clark had "borrowed" about everything valuable his acquaintances bad to lend, the plotters decided it was time for him to disappear. So lu the early morning of Feb. 8, 1745, he, Aram and Houseman went to the cave to divide the spoils before Clark left Aram ond Clark had quarreled a good deal during the progress of predatory operations. . At Jue enhance, to .the , i ravu I'm qimrri'i Un 't'tmewed, an; Arnm pushed Chirk uuny and rained down tremendous blows on his bead and chest. Clark fell dead. Houseman, torrlllod nt the sight and. ns he said, afraid of meeting the same fate, turned and run away. Aram did not show a pnrtlcle of remorse or feur, He gathered up the booty nnd carried It to his houne, where be burled part of It In the garden. He burled Clark's body and heaped itonm over tho grave, In the afternoon be went for House man and Uin-ntonod hi in If he disclosed the murder and umde him believe be was equally guilty In law. Clark's dlnappenrnnre was not no1 tlced for a dny or two. Then tho peo ple from whom he hnd "borrowed" Jewelry and plate began to make In qulrles. Suspicion was directed to Arnnf lu sums way. The village au thorities searched his house and found n bundle containing battered plate nnd clothing otnlned with blood. Notwith standing this, no action seems to have been taken by the authorities, nor was It suspected that Clark had been mur dered. Tho neighbors begun to Jeer at the learned schoolmaster, however, and Aram suddenly left bis wife nnd chil dren and walked to London, For fourteen years his family heard nothing of him. He spent the greater part of the time wandering about from place to place, at last finding a situa tion as usher In a school at Lynn. In June, 175S, a, horse dealer who bad known him In Knnresborough met him In the Lynu market Aram denied his Identity. By a singular coincidence, almost the day the horse dealer accost ed the now gray haired schoolteacher, a skeleton was found by some work men digging a pit In Thistle hill, in Knnresborough. i A country town has a keen recollec tion of everything thnt has occurred to disturb It, and Immediately the dis appearance or Clark fourteen years before was remembered. Houseman still alive, got druuk first ond then Joined the crowd of villagers looking nt the exhumed skeleton. "Clark," he Hnld with drunken gravity, "was never burled here." .... . , The latter, still too drunk to realize tho gravity of his position, muttered that Clark's body would be found in St. Hubert's cave, : The crowd made a rush for that place.' and soon a skele ton was exhumed. " m not kill htm!" gasped House inr.n. now thoroughly sober nud terri fied. "It was Aram. I had no part." Houseman was, taken to the village lull., and a warrant was sworn out for ,Vr.i:n. When the' officers, took , him nvny from the school the pupils cried. The government used Houseman as a witness to convict Aunm. Thft.latter's :r:ch In hfs own defense h'a's come fof hV poaching In the Imperial "poUd. down complete a masterly attack on circumstantial evidence, showing the Intellectual power of the man. Aram made a half confession the night be fore his execution, followed by an at tempt at suicide. According to the custom of the time, his body was hanged In chains, and It swung in Knnresborough forest until 1773. Years later, when the details of his crime were dim, his remarkable career at tracted Hood and Bulwer, and thus the obscure, talented, perverted man be came a part of English llteratare. F.xchange. . THE FISH IN HIS BED, " Funny Climax to an Angling ExptrU net of Gsneral Gall ifet. Long ago. In the' days of the second smplro, General Galllfet was the ald-do-camp of Napoleon HI. At St Cloud his quarters were Just over the Im perial bedroom. Everything " around him was very graud ud very gloomy. The window of his room looked upon the poud that washed the walls of the chateau. The water was clear and the surrounding scenery was beautiful, but tho young lieutenant felt like a prisoner. Early one morning, while seated at his window trying to drive away tho blues with a cigar, he espied below in the crystal water an euor- mous carp. The Instinct of the angler. strong in Galllfet, made the young man's eyes snap and set his heart throbbing. ' The big fish was the private property of tho emperor. Consequently -for Gal llfet it was forbidden fish. But it was such a fine fellow I The resistance of tho soldier's conscience was useless. 1 1 surrendered unconditionally. The, re maining part of the campaign against tho carp was simple enough. Gallifet went to his trunk, brought out his trusty line, to which he fastened n hook and an artificial bolt With his accustomed skill he cast his lino. The carp was hooked and hauled In through the window. . Jlere the lieutenant's fun ended and his trouble began. The fish, landed upon a table, overturned a large globe filled with water and caromed from that to a magnificent vase, which It also upset and binashed to pieces upon i tho floor. Then It began to execute n genuine pas de carpe among the smith ereens. , ' The emperor, hearing the strange racket overhead and seeing the water trickling through the celling, was as tonished. -, He rushed upstairs to find out what was tjae matter. Gallifet heard him coming and endeavored to grab the carp and throw It out of the window andthusidestrov the evidence But the slippery thing was hard to bold, so he tossed It into a bed and covered it up with the bedclothes. When the emperor entered the. room, be noticed Immediately the quivering bedclothes. Ue pulled them down and uncovered the floundering fish. His majesty's face assumed an almost Jim- Jamie expression. (whlch gradually faded Into a faint smile He took In the entire situation, saluted and le.ft the future war minister to meditate upon the mysteries of a fisherman'!. luck. . Tho Wrong Bird, One of the well known magicians not along ago had a queer experience but the people In the theater had more fun out of It than be did. One of his tricks was to shake a sack to show that it was empty and then to draw out of It. an egg. after which he would always reach in again and bring out the ben that laid the egg. Of course he bad to have help In this, and one night be had a new man who did everything Just as he had been told until It came to this act. Reaching into the bag. be drew forth the fowl at tho usual time, but instead of the hen an old rooster bopped down on to the stage, ruffled Its feathers and strutted around, crowing with all its might while the audience laughed and the magician went out to hunt his new helper.-London Opinion. , . Had Experience. Not long ago there entered the office of the superintendent of a trolley line In Detroit an angry citizen demanding Justice la no uncertain terms. ' In respouse to the official's gentlo in quiry touching the cause of the demand tho angry citizen explained that on the dny previous as his wife was boarding one of the company's cars the conductor thereof had stepped on his spouse's dress, tearing from It more than a yard of material, "I can't see thnt we are to blame for that." protested the superintendent "Wunt do you expect us to do-get ner a new dress?' : "No. sir, I do not," rejoined the angry citizen, brandishing a piece of cloth. "What I propose Is rthnt you people shall match this material." Harper's. FREE TRIAL-AN ELECTRIC IRON Saves backs, footsteps, blistered fingers, and faces fuel and tempers. - 1 1 1 L .

Argonaut ' Old Sword Blades, Rough as the fighters of old were, the inscriptions which they put on their swords often showed not only considerable poetic instinct but senti mentality. "Faithful in adversity" is such a sentence engraved on an old sword of the seventeenth century. In a collection of blades of the sixteenth century are these Inscriptions: "I quarrel." "God give me speed that my foe be beat indeed." "With this defense and God's will all my enemies I shall still." "In battle I will let my self be used." "When I my sword up lift in strife. God give the sinner eter nal life." "Trust in God, bravely war; therein your fame and honor are." "Your aim alone be God's great name. Who dares deny strike thou blm lame." "Every soldier flue look on this sign and use his hand for God and the land." On blades from the eighteenth century are these inscriptions: "Noth ing better in the world thou hast than to hold love and friendship fast" "I serve." "A good blade I. Who would deny let him meet me, and I will hold it will cost him or blood or gold." 1 j Stimulatidh With Irritation That is the watchword. That is what Orino Laxative Fruit Syrup does. .
