For several manths prior to his départure he had been visited by a _faithful friend who brought him chicken, 'possum, sweet potatoes, cigars, and other things. he bearer of. these good thines seemed to he under some trouble. was suspected that he had some in- timate knowledge of the crime for which the other was to be hanged. The secret came to light on the morn- ing of the hanging, when one of the guards overheard this conversation between the two men: “Now, Jim, didn’t T done do eve: ing T could for you?" . you has sho’ fulfilled all Tt t lob ve bligations, and squared ac- | coufits fo' dem crap games, an’ I sho' | is ‘bliged to you'.” An’.

M at WALLINGI‘ORD FACTOII!. Expecting Busy Winter—Building Large Add - Wallingford factories are expecting one of the busiest seasons in years and several of them are building large ad- ditions. Architect William E. Beeeroft last Friday completed plans for the ad- ditlon to be erected at factory L of the International Silver company, and the same are now in the hands of the com- pany. They call for a brick structure Of two stories and basement, covering 85x105 feet on the ground, and of slow burning mill construction. The addi- tion will face on Center street and run north at the west of the main build- ing, thus making the present wing, known as No, 10 byilding, some 30 feel longer. The plans will now be for- ‘warded to the contractors for bids. At R. Wallace & Sons’ a large addi tion has been in course of construc- tion during the summer. It will be used for the purpose of assembling various branches now more or. less separated throughout the factory. M. Backes & Sons' company have just added an addition to the south of their factory on Ward street’extension 1t is of brick and will give them con- siderable more floor space.

The world of today bears little re- semblance to the worid as Fulton knesw it. He gave progress a tremendous boost, but could not have realized what a mighty force he was setting in mo tion. ~ Since the launching of the Cler- mont things have moved forward with astonishing rapidity. It is the gre: contrast between now and then that makes the Hudson-Fulton %0 interesting. The next century is destined to show still greater advance- ment, the advancement that comes through the discovery of the secrets of nature and the ability to use her forces for the benefit of humanity. Soon the surface of the whole earth will be known and mapped. Then the human mind will redouble its efforts to solve the mental, physical, natural and spir- itual puzzles of this mysterious and wondertul old world and the life that inhabits it. Imagination is too feeble to picture the surprising things of the future. The Fultons of mechanics and science are destined for wonderful areers. 1t is In this way fhat man- kind slowly and painfully approaches the ideal and full development.

That is what the picker does. Instead of two arms, however, it has no less than eight, and a ten-year-old darky can be trained in an hour to guide two of these arms at such a rate that a machine which traveled over a cotton field in Alabama picked ‘and bagged six bales of the staple, weigh- ing 500 pounds each, in a da- of ten hours. This beats the liveliest work that ever been accomplished by human labor. With an active cottoil picker it costs very nearly $5 a bale, because the amount of cotton to a pound-is 50 enormous.—Van Magazine.
