Italy can boast of a larch tree the age of which is estimated to be 2,000 years. It is situated on the northern flank of Mont Cbetip In the direction of the huts of Pian Venl, above Cour mayeur, a few steps from the footpath that skirts the limits of the meadow land. Due allowance being made for the extreme slowness with which the larch grows, for the altitude above sea level (1.650 meters) at which K is root ed and for its northerly exposure in the near neighborhood of the glacier, where the cycle of its development Is barely five months every year, this venerable larch, untouched alike by woodman's ox and thunderbolt, cannot be less than 2.000 years old.—Scots man. ... . za Laughed and Won.

CLARICE I have been a detective for many years, though now that I am getting old I seldom take a case, and then only one that promises to interest me. My leisure time I spend in study. And what do you suppose is the subject of my studies? 1 will tell you. I am searching the past when there were no detectives that I may learn how criminals were traced. I have found a succession of condi tions, beginning with confession by torture—to this may be added confes sion by influence of the clergy—and ending with our present highly per fected detective system. I regret to say that there still exists one relic of the practice of obtaining confessions by Influence of the clergy. I refer to securing them by means of the "third degree." A curious instance of confession I have found in a record of the latter part of the eighteenth century. During the year 1790 an altercation occurred between James Thorpe and Pardon Winston in Bradford, a small town in Massachusetts. Robert Thorpe, a brother of James, came on to the scene while the fight was in progress and struck Winston on the head with a piece of wood, knocking him sense- However, he revived in a few minutes, and the brothers, who had been friends of Winston, frightened lest he had been killed, assisted him to his home, expressing great regret at the occurrence. Winston did not seem any the worse for the blow he had received and re mained in Bradford some time after the scuffle. But one day he was miss ed, and, when months passed and he did not show up, among the various causes for his disappearance that were suggested was one that the quarrel be tween him and the Thorpe brothers had been renewed and the mlssiug man had come to his death through their instrumentality. However, since there was nothing but inference in the matter, the sus picion died down. Several years after Winston's disappearance Aimer Twiteheli. a citizen ot Bradford, dreamed one night that the ghost of Winston had appeared to him and said that the Thorpe brothers had killed him, burned his body and buried tho residue under a beech tree, the only tree standing in the back yard of his home. Twiteheli gave the civil au thorities an account of his dream. At this point in my narrative it is well to remember the conditions of that period. The belief in witchcraft that had reaped so many victims had died out among educated persons, but still prevailed among the lower class-' es. Today a belief in revelation by dreams, though not what it was then, is not entirely extinct The Thorpe brothers were arrested, the ground about the roots of the beech tree was dug up, and some but tons and the metal parts of a pair of suspenders were found. This evidence was considered so strong that the Thorpe brothers were urged to con fess in order that justice should be meted out to each in accordance with what he deserved. James, under the incessant pleadings of his spiritual ad viser, finally gave way and confessed that he had been the murderer. But later Robert confessed that he, too, had taken part In the killing and had done the principal part in getting rid of the body. Now, if we consider the evidence in this case as it would be regarded to ; day there is nothing in it First, we would not accept the dream as of any value whatever; second, the articles | found under the beech tree might have been thrown out in the yard or burned with other refuse under the tree and become mingled with the soil; third, we have numerous confessions in murder cases that are not true. But in those days, when the people were emerging from a period wherein an organized court of justice would convict a woman of vomiting crooked pins and sailing on the water in a sieve, the evidence against the Thorpe brothers, backed by the confession of both, was considered quite sufficient to hang them. They were tried, con victed and sentenced. One day a man rode into Bradford and while sitting around the tavern stove was told that the next day there would be a hanging in the town and he had better remain over and see 1L On mention of the name of Winston he said that he had seen a half witted man in Hadley of that name. A friend of the Thorpe boys was present, and he went to the judge with the story, ask ing for a stay of the execution in or der that the matter might be investi gated. A constable was sent to Hadley and returned with the man for whose mur der the prisoners were to have been hanged. The brothers were released and received an oration, the towns people really rejoicing that they had been saved by a mere chance from hav ing committed murder themselves. The blow that Winston had received from Robert Thorpe had caused an in dentation of a bit of his skull on the brain. Even nowadays we are never sure when or what vagaries may be caused by such a pressure, though it can now be removed by surgeons. Whether the surgical process of trepan ning was done in those days or not I den't know. I found no record of the subsequent condition of the Injured inn MMdVtf try*.-- 17115551 !
