. ..-.- --- .
remarkable story of newly-discovered
documents pertaining to tho evil days
of 1692 will awaken for a time
particular public interest in the
whole subject Thero is one fact not
wholly unknown but generally unno-
ticed that hears weightily on tho still
mooteo. question now far tho honor of
our Puritan ancestry is affected by that
tragic episode. It is that when tho de-
fusion had spent its force an attempt
was made out of tho scanty public treas
ury of those davs to recomnciiso tho
surviving victims as far as money could
do so. for the v -rone done them. There
is said to have been found a list of those
who were in the prison when the tide of
public sentiment turned toward better
things together with a record of sums
ranging from 30. .to 50 paid the re-
leased captives or to the dependent rel-
atives of those who had perished on the
gibltet This indicates what authentic
history confirms that our forefathers in
th' Massachusetts Bay colony were so
far from being obdurate persistent and
iiaruess in their error that they soon
repented and sought how they might
atone ror it In the samo connection
must always he taken another fact if
we would do even-handed justice to the
.memory of the dead. Jielief in witch-
craft was practically universal in the
seventeenth century throughout the civ-
il ized wo:! 1 and had been for many
generations. .7 ast two hundred years
before ike outbreak in Salem a Papal
bull had kmdled inquisitorial fires in
tJermany for tile destruction of sorcer-
ers and sn.-re 4dve bulls increased the
opular frenzy: so that many hundreds
of Iiiv.'.i victims were put to death
oft"n '.. means of cruel tortures during
a eon'.farauvely few years. Uut nosect

ANECDOTE "OF EDISON-
Ills Kitnliirss anil I.llicraUty
to a Little
ltustoii Nnoliiiy.
Many s'.iries have ln-en written tell-
ing of the close-fisted and miserly ways
of that rince of inventors 1-liit.n.
The. following little incident which
came under the observation of the
writer serves to illustrate the fact that
the heart of the great genius is in the
right place and that he is not penurious
tir-on all ncasions. It waa some time
u'm. when Edison was in Hosion. and.
he. together with several other gentle-
men who are identified with important
electrical inventions were conversing
eagerly upon some new idea or appli-
ance standing at the same time in front
of the cigar case at the Court square
side of Young's Hotel. A little news-
boy had lieon captured by one of the
hotel att-endamts while trying to sell his
papers in the place and was being
bustled out by the ear.
Kdison caught sight of the forlorn lit-
tle "kid." and signing to the porter who
held him to lot him go. called the vend- j
er of newspapers over to htm.
l-ase buy a paper mister. piped
the hoy in a mourn: til tone.

great inventor with a smile as he pat
ted the boy on the head and selecting a
paper from the lot he handed the hoy a
silver ftollar. saying: '-Never mind any
change: hut keep persevering my little
man. and you'll come out all right in tho
end. Then as the child thanked him
and scampered off with a radiant face
turned to tho gentleman with whom
h had been talking and ssad feelingly:

THAT GOLD &EDAU
XTkr It Was Given to Sptccr.lty Cempct.
itor.
I hated Jack Spieer; he always got up
head. Ho was always being praised and
complimented and told how much hot-
ter he was than the rest; and thea he
wasaiways setting himself up to give ad-
vice. That's why we fellows didn't like
him. He d do a kindness; why ho used
to give little Morris half his lunch near-
ly every day. Little Morris had the
worst kind of ' a step-mother and if ho
was bad she called it bad if he sueeaed
in4church or took an apple without
leave why then shod send him off
without his breakfast.
Yes; he was kind. He sat up all night
with Shriner the German pupil teacher
that the boys sent into a fevor by nuk-
ing fun of and gave him his medicine
and brought him oranges and mado us
all ashamed.
That was tho worst of Spicor; ho al
ways made you ashamed; but about
Shriner be was right.
Wo had merits at Dr. Brown's for lie-
ing early and demerits for being lato.
Jack Spicer was always early. I never
knew any thing like him for that. It
helps a Iwy on wonderfully. They
think he meatM to do his best if they
find bin; there in the morning first
thing and looking aver his lesson as
Jack Spicer always was.
I thoaght a good deal about Jack when
the big gold medal was going to be given
out. The boy who bad no demerits was
to have it or if thero were several wo
drew for it. I knew I could not beat
Spicer; he would be perfect; but I might
draw for the medal if I tried; and oh! I
Mrf try. I was always early; I knew all-
my lessons. I dki evecy thing so well
that my Uncle Reuben said ho had some
hopes of me at laet. That was a good
deal for Uncle Reuben to say for he had
been in the habit of predicting some
very bad end for me; but now be said he
had hopes and that if I did get off with-
out one demerit' be would give me a
watch a silver watek with .first-rate
works inside of it. And so I did my
best; and the day before tho priae-day I
stood even with Jack Spicer. One fail-
ure next day or being 2ate or talking
when it was forbidden would throw mo
out or him. But no- one oven thought
of that; tho wonder' was about me.
Sam Squires bet his sLx-bladed pen
knife against Bill Hopper's base-hall
that I'd loso tho chance somehow in that
twenty-four hours. I wouldn't havo
risked anything myself. Jack Spicers
luck was so wonderful; bwt I did my
best.
The last day. Up went the sun and
up went I. I washed and dressed got
my lesson before breakfasts got Undo
Keuben to hear me over: Uncle Reuben
' a good feilowjif you pleased him.
And then I hurried mv breakfast..
washed my hands polished up my nails
and made my hair shine yo got de
merits if you were untidy at Dr. Brown's
and off I went.
Now I lived a good long-way from tho
school but Jack lived farther still. We
camo along the same road; and through
a bit of woods and then down the hill
to tho school-house. And I was flying
through these "woods like a race-horse
whon down 1 came as' if I'd been shot.
Thero were a lot of boys up to any thing
in tho village: they hated Dr. Brown's
boys because they had good elothes;
called them dudes and all that sort pt
thing; and 1 suppose they bad Axed tho
wire Oh I didn't say what u was' I
fell over. Some one "had fastened a
barbed wire across the road. They. did it
once when the folks were going- tr
church and there was a time about it:
and Johnny Bowler got locketf up. and
afterward they found out it was Mug-
gins the butcher's boy. that ditt it; But
some one had done it again and there I
was. Coming at such a speed I got a
throw. I can tell yen. and my legs were
cut through my knickerbockers. I had
a lump on my foreaead; L almost broke
my neck and I bruised my arm.
For a minute I couldn't get p Then
I was giddy and had to sit down;
and I thought: "I'll be late
and lose my chance after aXL
But I came right in a few minutes. Of
course it hurt -yet. but that wits nothing-.
I came all right and picked up my
books and was going to unfasten the
wire when I heard Jack Spicer .coming;
you could hear any one long before yu
could see them and I knew his run.
Whilo I was working at tho 'wire ho
would ass. He would get to school
early; T should be late. And I suppose
and when I said so to the minister ho
said it was probably so vhat Satan look-
ed over my shoulder at that vey mo-
ment. "Let Jack Spioer take tare of
himself" ras what he mado me think
Satan I man; "let Spioer fall &wn and
be made late; all the better lor you."
And away I went leaving Spicer coming
on at a great speed rith bis- xese- in the
air and Sis eyes on. tho horisoa that's
tho way he always ran and bo idea in
his mind but school and the medal.
WeLL I got in early aa the other
boys sam in one- by one aad we were
called to order and lessens began and
still no sign of Jack Spicer.
TT&e hoys began to look at me. The
medal waa mine and at first I felt
jjetty over it. Then I began to think of
Ibe barbed wije of the lonely road of.
siy iaU of what Jack's might have beoru
for I had baard Mat coning. I ha
turned to step and tell him of tho wlr.
Y ou coulctn l see h xrom oaer sk.
for some gaese aad weeds that gzv
just there and the way tho sun vas.
And I knew that medal or no raejel I
should have stopped to unfasten it too.
But at least I tried to think tbat it
was not I who put it there that if
Jack bad bee first he would bar left
it so but I was not so sure of tlaat.

Tkat was carolesa;" said Dr. Brown;
"but you couldn't know Spicer would -fall."
I bad my chance eut of it then with
