GETTING TO BE METRoPOLfTlS
Mrs. McEacheTn EIopes and Skips to
Victoria

1t has been rumored on the street 70
several days past that Mrs. McEachrcl
wife OF John Mc!.achrcn, hard work
ing ship carpenter, had gathered he
things together and quietly slipbcd OF
with teamster named Connors. 4 re
porter for the Argus met the deserted
husband yesterday and questioned hin
regarding the affair and though he Seem,
ed effected by what he naturally consid-
cred loss he was bitter in his curses TO-
ward both the man and women. He
said that the intimacy began when he
was IN San Francisco and that on his re-
turn he saw that there was something
| rotten i'll Denmark and Connors was the
object upon whom his suspicious were
ccntered. He was angry and expressed
himself in rather fOrcible language to
Connors who had him arrested. lie was
kept i'll Jail all night. On his return to
his home he again fonnd COnnOrs settled
comfortably in the house. The husband
then went out for Officer Oliver " no
took COnnors TO the pound and after
wards ordered him to leave town. Dur
ing this little misunderstanding two OF
McEachern's children were living dead
The husband shortly afterward went to
Hadlock to get work and during his alb
sence the fellow Connors renewed his at
tentiOns on the wife Some weeks ago
two more OF his chIldaen died under cir
cumstances which called for an investi-
CATION by the coroner resulting in the
woman's yindicatiOn. Since then Mrs
McEaChern has sat in the shade OF her /,
own vine and fig tree and has kept out OF
the newspapers. Tuesday her husband
gave her $43 and on Wednesday the
woman made ten strike for nGtoriety |
and busted. She packed up her clothing
and sewing machine, locked the door
and skipped the ira la loo. When their
son came home from school he found the |
door fastened and 10 one answered his |
knOckings. He waited until |
open the door discovering that certain /
articles had been carried off. He then |
proceeded to the freight house and found |
4 sewing machine directed to his wife at |
Victoria; he told the freight clerk not to |
send the machine but he declined to |
hold it. As Mr.. Connors has not visited |
the house since Tuesday it is supposed |
he left with the woman.
Mrs. McEachern is woman of perl
haps thirty-five or forty warm summers
and several winters where the thermom-
eter went down below zero. She will /
not be taken by our cousins in Victoria
for a professional beauty. She may
have winning ways which captured the
heart OF Connors but it certainly was not /
her beauty-toothIess and without a
single personal charm

FORTY YEARS,

Aarriad' no" long ago: Count the years by the
slim! old wedding ring,

winters that melt in spring
And youth goes with them; SO love. sweetheart,
Is the Only lasting thing.
We two-ah, what did we know of love, when
roses of June were red:
when you wept sweet tears at song, or sobbed
for some thouyhtless word said,
End blushcd if only pressed your hand or a
kiss on your fair brown head.
Dur hearts were light as bright bubbles blown.
Like children in fairy land
We wandered down. where the daiseS grew, to
that wonderful golden strand,
Where all the dreams of the heart come true,
aud lovers walk hand in hand
Since theu-sincc then, OH, the long, long road
we have wandered through calm and storm,
When leaves blew by us and stow-fla&cs
Hh,rlcd, and We watched the swallows form
IL winged clouds sweep nS down the Sky to
lands where the sunwas warm.
There was always brightness for You and me,
and over the tears We wept.
F:r life's sore losses and hurting pain, 4 rain
Cow Of hope still crcpt,
AL deep III your sweet, tear-clOuocN eyes my
sunshine forever slept!
LtVh at me- dear, with your true. kind eyes
beaming urde: your soft, white hair
They are far more beautiful now, sweetheart,
then when morning and youth were fair:
And far more lovely Your pale, worn check than
when bushes were burning there.
I talk like lover: OF course DO. What else
should talk like Pray:
For man is never lover true to the girl Of
his heart. say,

The Era of Att cs and What It's Termina
ton SiSnified.

The Era of AIT ecs and What It's Termina
ton SiSnified.
The period Of tifty-two years formed
a complete era for the Aztecs, and they
questioned whether at the end of that
period the great heavenly clock, hav-
ing performed its revolution, might
not stop forever. This era menaced a
considerable number OF the population
once in their lives, and some of then
perhaps twice. The night on which
the ffty-second year would expire was
a solemn moment to them, and was
signalized by extinguishing the sacred
fires in tho temples and those on pri-
vate hearth-stones, and by breaking
all vessels that had contained provi-
sions; and the evening was passed in
darkness, with trembling and fear.
The day was in November, when the
Pleiades would eliminate at midnight,
and this moment was the termi-
nation Of the century. AS the hour ap-
peared, the human victim was sacri-
feed, and the sticks were rubbed over
his still quick body for striking the fire
for his funeral pile and the inaugural
ton of the new era. Men were wait
ing with torches ready to be lighted,
with which the new fire was to be dis
tributed to all the provinces. The
moment Of midnight was hailed with
shouts of joy. The world had not come
to an end, and men could hope that it
would last at least through another
era. Those who could not attend the
public ceremonies watched kneeline
on the roofs of their houses The Sec
ular festival was suppressed by the
Spaniards. the last human victim hav-
ing been sacrificed on the pyramid OF
Tlaloc in 1907. j. G. Houzeau, in Pop
