home where Lisette can be made use
full and happy, and Mary has a prospect
with the woman who gives her work.
But the children. two lame foolish waits,
what will become of them?"
1t was problem we could not solve,
as the hot July days came and sapped
away Dora's life. She never rose again
from the poor bed; but she never COM
planned. The story was told to society
of charitable ladies, and one and another
kept the family from want.
Johnnie went gladly to the hospital,
though the parting scene was one [
shall never forget. The fower-maker
promised to care for Mary, and my
country friend was anxious to have
Lisette. But the children had found no
permanent friend when the end came.
[ went to see Dora when August days
had come and 1 found only still, cold
form, Lisette weeping Bitterly. Mary
sobbing beside her 60 Scen
crouched. half terrified, in cofnef.
We arranged a simple ssaaeral. and
carriage was provided for the four sim
cere mourners. But when it returned to
the narrow street the children were
gone Lisette, stunned with grief,
could not tell when they left her side,
and Mary was positive they got into the
carriage again at the cemetery.
It was a weird ending to the simple
tragedy of Dora's life, for we never knew
what became of the little lame idiots.
The society paid for few days search,
and did my share; but they had re-
turned again to the strange obscurlty
from which Lisette had rescued them for
a few short months. 1t may be that
through the dulled brains some memory
crept that carried them back to the home
or friends they left before they came to
Dora's attic. and they understood that
temporary home was gone from them.
1t is five years ago since we laid the
noble, self-sacrifcing woman to sleep
under the sod. and Johnnie has put a
simple stone over her grave; for johnnie
is we'll and strong, and his mind is
growing in strength with his body.
He is working his way in store and
comes to see us sometimes, always
bringing me some inexpensive trlde to
send to Lisette; for Mary is dead and
only Johnnie and Lisette remain OF the
strange family of Dora Smith, who never
GUESSED she was one of the true herolnes
of whom history never tells.

At Potaluma, small milk-can station
on the Napa road, feryent appeal was
made last Sunday by the pastor of the
proposed church there for funds to build
said edifce. Not a cow-puncher moved.
The entire congregation of teat-squeezers
seemed wrapped in slumber. As the
minister gazed mournfully around hen
suddenly few out of the old plug hat
used as a con tribution box, making
terrific cackling.
The pastor approached the hat and
beheld new-laid egg.
Holding up the hen fruit, he exclaimed
sarcastically:
"She has contributed her all. Will
you allow yourselves to be outdone by

The effect was electrical

The Romanoffs, to which family the
present Gar of Russia belongs, have
been the reigning power in that coun-
try since the early part of the seven
teenth century, and have indeed been
the most conspicuous rulers Of Russia
since the Tartar invasion. The first
of the Romanoff dynasty was Michael
Fedorovitch, who was the grandfather
of Peter the Great, one of the most
prominent figures in the worlds his
tory. The family also numbered
among ite members Alexander l., who
was the first to break the power Of
Napoleon and followed the latter to
Paris. Upon the monument on the
battlefield of Borodina is the follow
ing inscription: "Napolcon entered
Moscow 1912 Alexander entered
Paris 1914" OF this the Russians
can be truly proud. Nicholas, the
grandfather OF the present Gar, was
one Of the most despotic of sovcr-
e,gns. HIS character was stern, and
he made up his mind with great ra-
pidity, and his opinion once set was
inaexible. When the engineers con.
suited him as to the course of the rail
road to be built between St. Peters.
burg and Moscow, he drew a straight
line between the two places as the
route. During his reign the great
Crimean war was fought. Nicholas
thought that his army was invincible,
but the result of the campaign taught
him otherwise. 1t is said that he never
recovered from the shock of the de.
feat, and in consequence died broken
hearted. Alexander Ill.,, the present
Emperor and Autocrat of all the Rus

THE BllIIS.ARE ALL RIGHT.

We have repeatedly been asked,
during the past week, why we do not
criticize the heavy bills allowed the
Sheriff and District Attorney by the
County Commissioners? To all such
inquiries we have made the same reply,
to-wit: That the bills are undoubted-
~ made out in strict accord with the
Jaw, and that they arc therefore cor.
rect in every particular. The Com
,nissioners infinitely examined all the
bills, item by item, and the people
may rest assured that unless they were
clearly lawful, they were rejected.
That tho bills referred to were 70,
large sums is unfortunately true; but
the officers have good law as a war.
rant for each and every charge; and
they have simply discharged Their
duty by attending to the business con-
ferred upon them by the statutes, and
then charging for such work the fees
allowed by law.
If the bills are too high the laws arc
to blame, and not the officials. 1t the
latter had charged less than the lega
fees, their claims would be as unlaw
full as if they had charged more than
such fees.
