Considerable mystery surrounds the death of Louis Brousseau, which is supnosed to have occurred some time during the night of Friday of last week, when he, with horse and wagon, was thrown from the top of the dam which holds the water of Williams pond in Exeter, to the level below the dam, a sheer fall of between 35 and 40 feet. How he came to be on that out-of-the-way road on his way home from Willimantic and how the team came to leave the road and get on the dam is a mystery., The team proceeded along the dam until it reached the zate house when it could proceed no further. It evidently stop- ped there for some moments before going off the dam, as shown by foot- marks. It is thought that Brousseau died suddenly in his wagon and that he had been dead some time before going over the dam and this is borne out to some extent by the fact that no blood was found on the rock where he was found. Although his face was scratched considerably, no blood was gn his person, and thie bones in one nger only were broken. Just how the accident occurred will probably never be known.

Sister and Brother Tell of Field Mar- shal’s Characteristics. The following pen picture of Field Marshal General von Hindenburg in his earlier days was published by one of his sisters in the Danziger Zeitung and republished in a recent issue of the Frankfurter Zeituns: “Faith in_God and humility are the fundamental traits of his character, and the robt“wi suens God can bless him, God can zive him such tremendous successes without his soul suffering any hurt, for he gives the honor to God alone. Flattery and empty phrases he does not know end loes not like. Observing and serious is the glance of his eves; ‘rosses his features only deepest bass 1s a good jake is told! Very .strict in service but approv the right of independence in nis ordinates and stimulating i _exceeu ingly just, full of good-will, and ready to_heip anyone. ‘Warlike business was center of his thoughts and Even as a ten-year-old little cadet he ran along, in his vacation days, beside the company of - his. father. When, asta young subaltern officer, he used to stay with us on furlough, and took walks, he would often stop at the top of some hill and gaze around, developing a battlefield for us. He meditated and observed and calculatéd, bending over the General Staff map of our province (West Prussia) when we sat together around the lamp at evening. He was a thinker of battles, and, therefore his comrades at the War Academy al- ways called him, as he once told me, “the concentrated Moltke.” . ‘On_the Sunday after the mighty victory at Tannenbers—the ‘East Prussian Sedan'—then did our gen- eral field marshal, in the midst of his braye Landsturm men, give thanks from the depth of his soul in_the House of the Lord and pray to Him for further victories. “Ora et labora—a card with these three words is up his desk; it was formerly on the desk of our father.

He would say the same thing now—and that he speaks and thinks in this is'the best and most glorious thing about him; that is the guarantee that God will preserve him for our country and will give him further victories, ‘till all has been done according to our will, till Gods' plan has been accomplished for and through our people.’ In the biography of Von Hinden- burg, published by his brother, Bern- hard von Hindenburg, it appears that the great German as a boy was weak in his arithmetic. In describing Hin- denburg’s life at the gymnasium at Glogau, in 1857, where he was pre- paring to enter the cadet academy at Wahlstatt, his brother says: “His achievements, according to the last quarter’s report, were considered adequate in religion, in Latin, in French and geography, and good im German; only in arithmetic he could not get along sufficlently to meet the requirements.” Way to Do It. = If Germany would send some ships here she could get any kind of cargo wanted—Tfoodstuffs, munitions of war or anything else.
