A TRAGIC EXPERIENCE
The Climax of a Womans Return Trip
to Her Home
A Now York woman had a curious
and tragic experience one that seems
more like a grewsome page from
French fiction than the plain recital of
fact
Tills woman started out with her
husband to accompany him part way
ou a business trip lie was taking to
a southern city It was arranged that
Bhe should stop to visit some friend
at a point about halfway on the jour
ney and after a two days stay should
proceed and rejoin her husband at hhi
destination and xeturn with him She
made her visit and when she reached
the town where she had expected to
meet her husband found that he was
not at the hotel where he had been
stopping but had left hurriedly for
New York the day before She waited
long enough to send telegrams to her
husbands office and to their house in
New York asking if he had arrived
and to receive a negative answer from
each place
Concluding that he had been unable
to reach her by telegraph while she
was on the road she decided to return
home She was disappointed but not
at all perturbed as she journeyed
northward She had to change cars
twice on the way Each change in
volved a wait of ten or fifteen min
utes at a small junction town As she
was pacing up and down the station
platform at each of these places she
saw a big pine covered coffin box un
loaded from the express car and put
aboard the northbound train At Jer
sey City the same box was being un
loaded and it crossed the ferry with
her in a hearse She noted idly that
one of the hearse horses was white
and the other black She went first
to her husbands office but the hour
was late in the afternoon and it was
closed Then she went uptown to her
home
As she was about to enter the apart
ment house a hearse drawn by a
white horse and a black one drove tip
and the undertaker climbed down and
pressed the button below her name on
the row of call bells at the entrance
She asked him what it meant Think
ing stie was some inquiring stranger
the undertaker told her that he was
bringing home the body of a man who
had died on a train near the city
whence she had just come and that
the undertaker who had taken charge
of the body had forwarded it in com
pliance with the dying mans request
In a daze the woman asked the dead
mans name Then she fell fainting
to the floor It was her husband

JUSTICE IN HAITI
Why a Trader Vas Consigned to Jail
by a Magistrate
In most lands that maintain a court
of justice the institution commands
the respect of the public It has in
its hands the means of securing an
outward show of respect under any
circumstances In Haiti this power
appears to be made a source of rev
enue according to a story told by H
Priehard in Where Black Rules
White
A Haitian owed a trader 2S A
judgment requiring the Haitian to pay
4 a week into court was given and
the trader agreed to send a messenger
to the magistrate every week for the
money
In due time he sent for the first In
stallment and was informed that the
Haitian had not paid up but that he
should be put in prison for his failure
Three weeks passed with the same
result One morning the Haitian went
to the traders store What good he
asked would come to the trader if he
poor man were thrown into prison
Let the trader forgive him his debt
and earn thereby untold rewards in a
future state
After some talk the trader gave him
a letter of remission which he went
off to present to the magistrate The
affair was settled but the Haitian was
struck by the bad grace with which
the magistrate dismissed him
He forthwith returned to the trader
and asked him if he had received the
8 already paid into court The trader
looked surprised and said that he had
received nothing
Then since you have remitted the
debt that 8 is mine said the Hai
tian
Accordingly he went to the court to
present his claim The magistrate at
once committed him to prison A con
sul who had heard the story asked the
magistrate what the man was sent to
prison for
For contempt of court was the
reply

of the treasury de
partment wishes
every one was as
conscientious about
paying debts to
Uncle Sam as a
man at Annapolis
Md About six
months ago some
thin j struck the
conscience of the
Annapolis citizen
and every two or three weeks since
then he has sent a twenty dollar gold
certificate to the secretary of the treas
ury with this note Due to U S
There is not a word about the missive
to indicate the name of the sender
The envelope is always plain and with
out any legend save the address The
envelope the writing and the iuclosuro
are always the same The remittance
comes almost with the regularity of a
city tax bill The money is credited to
the conscience fund and is turned into
the treasury
The government has another regular
conscience fund contributor residing in
Washington lie is not so methodical
tn his habits as the man at Annapolis
and his contributions are smaller His
conscience hurts him every two or
three months for some fraud imposed
upon the government and he sends
10 to lo to the treasury with a con
fession that it belongs to the govern
ment
A strange character is Warry
Charles the Americanized Chinaman
who is under sentence of death in
Massachusetts along with four others
of his nationality The names of the
others are Win Sing Horn Woon Le

ing to the decree of the court they
will die in electric chairs in the state
prison at Charlestowu during the week
beginning Oct 10 All the men were

WARRY CHARIiES
convicted of the murder of several of
their countrymen belonging to the Chi
nese society known as the On Leon
tong The murderers were members
of a rival society known as the Hep
Sing tong The date of the whole
sale slaughter for which the quiutet
are to pay the penalty the coming au
tumn was Aug 2 1907 The convic
tion of the group was secured by the
Boston prosecuting authorities over a
year ago and the supreme court of the
state overruled the exceptions taken to
the verdict
Warry Charles who was said by
some of those convicted of the crime
to have been the moving spirit in the
plot of assassination protested his in
nocence when sentenced He was for
merly a court interpreter
The curtain has fallen on a stirring
scene in a tragedy in real life in which
figures the great Italian operatic com
poser Giacomo Puccini The curious
thing about the affair is the parallel
which may be drawn between certain
circumstances in the real tragedy and
the fictitious one which forms the
theme of the composers famous mas
terpiece Madaraa Butterfly In the
latter the little heroine of
the mikados empire commits suicide
when she learns of the perfidy of her
English husband The story is some
what turned around in the tragedy in
which the composer
and his wife figure
In this drama the
heroine was a little
peasant girl whose
father lived and
worked on Puc
cinis estate She
was employed In
the composers
household after her
fathers death and
being a favorite of
the great musician
excited the jealousy
of hiB wife She
accused the young
t
GIACOMO PUCCTXI
girl of wrong relations with her hus
band and struck her In the face The
child who is believed to have been
innocent of any wrongdoing was so
affected by the humiliation and dis
grace into which she deemed she hr
fallen that she drank poison and dl u
Puccini denounced his wife and at
once separated from her and the sui
cide of the girl having been made the
subject of an inquiry an Italian court
sentenced Signora Puccini to impris
onment for causing her death
THE IMPOSSIBLE
It Lies Just Baycnd the Limit of Our
Own Understanding
Here Is a striking parable by Miss
E Fox Howard which we take from
the Friends Fellowship Tapers
A dog tried to open a door He
scratched It threw himself against it
struggled to get his nose under it and
burrow his way out but at last he
decided that the door would not open
and never could open so he lay down
before It and went to sleep
A child was watching the dog and
he laughed and turned the handle with
his small lingers and the door was
open Then he took a book and sit
ting on the lloor he turned over the
leaves one by one and gazed at the
queer black marks upon them without
knowing what they meant for he was
a very little child and he could not
read As there were no pictures to be
found he tossed it away
But a boy picked up the book and
laughed and read page after page of a
wonderful fairy tale Then he went
to school and puzzled his head over a
sum which had to be brought to the
class that morning Try as lie might
the sum would not prove and the boy
said I cant do it Im sure it cant
be done There must be a mistake In
the book
But the pupils teacher laughed
and taking the blotted exercise book
from the boy he quickly worked out
and proved the sum Then he turned
to his own studies and went into the
laboratory for he was learning chem
istry All the morning lie labored
among the gases and the acids but lie
could not get the right combinations
and only succeeded in making a loud
explosion Its ail rubbish to say that
potash and carbon form potassium he
said They simply explode and I de
fy any one to say they dont
But the master who had heard the
noise came and took it into his own
hands and soon the metal was drop
ping from the condenser After school
was over the master who was getting
an old man sat in his study reading
a paper on modern scientific thought
As he read his brow darkened and at
last he flung it down and said It is a
monstrous idea How can the crea
tion of the world have taken millions
of years The good old Bible account
of the six days of creation Is good
enough for me And he wrote an
angry letter of remonstrance to the
great professor who had sent him the
paper
But the professor only- smiled for
he was a geologist and had read the
message of the rocks He himself
one of the deepest thinkers of the day
sat late into the night among his
books trying to fit some newly discov
ered laws of physics into his schemes
of things and to bring his mind nearer
to a solution of the great why of the
universe At last he bowed his head
and said It is impossible Facts are
too conflicting I cannot explain them
and I doubt if there Is any explana
tion
Just beyond the limit of our own
understanding lies the impossible

Here is the story of covenantine
times in Scotland of which an old
laird of Galloway was the central fig
ure
Learning that he was about to be
raided by Claverhouse whose dragoons
were coming in search of him the old
laird effected his escape disguised as
one of his own plowmen As he was
leaving the house he was stopped by
the dragoons who asked if the laird
as at home
Well said the old covenanter he
was there when I was there
The dragoons went their way and
the old laird went his and lived to tell
the truth another day
