James Russell Lowell’s Letter Reas-
su**ed tors. Spofford.
While J'-mes Russel! Lowell was
editor of ’he Atlantic Monthly be fre-
quently accepted stories written by
Mrs. Harriet Pre’cott Spofford, with
; uhom he enjoyed a personal friead-
' ship. Mrs. Spofford, however, feared
* that he might be taking them because
of his interest In her and not for the
! merit of her work.
ha- She resolved to put the matter to a
test. Her handwriting was peculiar.
One of the most characteristic letters
was her d, lo the end 01 vhich she
gave a queer little crook, toward the

bad her sister copy one of her t torles
before serving it to the editor.

in which he wrot*: “The d’» may not

Kidnaper Had Forgotten Victim
Would Need to Breathe.
One of the most industrious of ‘tha
man thieves who recruited the fa-
mous regiment of giants for King
Frederick William of Prussia was
Baron Hom peach, whose many sue- •
cesses led him once to cast covetous
eyes upon a very lengthy joiner. He or-
dered of the joiner a chest or cap-
lioard which should be as long and
broad as the worker himself. In due
course the baron called round. The
cupboard had been finished, but he
orotcjtPd tLat it was too small. Thia
the carpenter denied a^d laid himself
■ within it as proof of its dimensions.
No ecener bad he done so than serv-
ants of the baron clapped down the
lid and had the giant prisoner. They
carried him off to the court, but when
the lid was opin -d. instead of a giant
there rolled ou* a corpse. The man
had been stifled, in bis anger the
king sentenced the baron to death, but
reprieved him when he wanted more
giants.
