I'll nearly forty years after this occur
renee, We may briefly adver:to. One Of
the pupils at this school was young
girl, lovely both in person and character,
from whom the young teacher learned
moro than Is to bc found in tho books,
and whom he grew to love with n depth
of affection all the greater that 1t was
condemned to hopelessness and silence.
The poor student, with no prospect OF
worldly Advancement, the invalid, who
looked forward to an early death, must
not think OF marrylng-must not speak
OF love, And he never spoke OF IL TO her
nor to any ono until a generation had
passed, and then 10 but one friend.
The other version OF Mr. Stephcne
early love Is located In Savannah, which
he visited in the fall of 1924, and the
authority of the story is Mrs. Caroline
Regina Maria smith, a lineal descendant
of Lord Richard Percival Bland. Mrs.
Smith says that when Mr.. stephens was
In Savannah he met herself then the
wife of Edward Thomas Courtcnay, her
unmarried sister, Belle, and their father,
and after the meeting Mr. stephens
asked permission to pay his addresses to
MIR. BANDS daughter. Mr.. Bland, on
his return home, related to his daughter
Belle what Mr. stephens had said and
she:pettishly said she would not.receivs
Mr.. stephens for a suitor, whereupon
Mr.. Courtenay spoke up and said; VI
think my wife Is the youngsi looking
and the most handsome, and would
not be surprised If Mr.. stephens fell in
love with my wife, instead OF you,
Belle" The father OF the ladies, patting
his married daughter on the shoulder In
an aticcticnato way, said; 81 would not
be surprised IL Courtenay is right

around to tea this evening, and then we
will find out"
Later In the afternoon Mr.. Bland met
Mr.. stephens in tho Office OF Mr.. Nc
Lows, and asked him to which OF the
ladies he referred, and Mr.. stephens de-
scribed the personal appearance OF Mrs.
Courtenay, and remarked that she was
the only lady he had ever met and loved
at first sight; to which Mr.. Bland made
reply that the lady in question had been
married. Mr.. stephens rejoined that no
did not care II she had been married;
that he desired to renew his request to
pay his addresses to her, and then MI.
Bland said; my daughters husband
is living, and you see how vain your re-
quest Is" A shade of pain passed over
the face of Mr.. Stephens, and the invita-
tation to tea was declined.

HE BLEW IN TWO MILLIONS.
Young MT. Roberts Inheritance Dis
appeared n Million n Year.

"
Early in the spring of 1888 there was
fashionable wedding in Washington,
says the Critic. The contracting parties
were Alexander H. Roberts. of Phila-
delphia, and Miss Mary Mott, of this
city. Neither of the parties was Of great
age at the time and much comment
was made at the time of the wedding.
Ii was known, however, that the groom
would come in possession of a large es-
tate, and everybody thought Miss Mott
was making n lucky catch. IL was
case of love at first sight, and mar
riage would have followed at a months
notice hut for the iact that Mr.. Roberts
was not in financial condition to un-
dcr,nke the maintenance OF house
hold. At the time Miss Mott was
singer in the choir of well known
church here.
shortly after the wedding, and when
Roberts became of age, he came into
possession of 5000, 900. This money
had been amassed by his father through
lucky oil speculations in Pennsylvania.
ON tho strength of this inheritance Mr.
and Mrs. Roberts INDUCED in n Euro
pean trip, and upon their return spent
several months at IA fashionable hotel in
this city. Later they took up their resi-
dence In Philadelphia, where they lived
in style. Roberts had trotIing stable,
n steam yacht, pack of hounds, and
suddenly developed sporting proclivities.
He seemed to take "A special liking to
prize fighters, and went SO far as TO
make them welcome to his own home.
He would throw the wine cellar open
and entertain them in royal shape.
These men would on these occasions
gorge themselves with drink. and fire.
quently there was rough and-tumblc
fight. On one particular evening there
was an elevcn-round tight in
the parlor and the facts
at the time were wired all
over tho country. On this OCCASION
much of the valuable furniture was de-
molishe and Alexander Roberts, in II
bout with an outsider, received injuries
which confined him to his room for
some time. The innocent young vile
naturally took exceptions TO the manner
In which she was being exposed in pub
lie, regardless of the fact that her every
desire, from n pecuniary point of view,
was granted. She protested, and within
year they had separated.
Roberts has proved his ability as u
spendthrit, Tor within the short period
of two years he almost completely eX-
haustcd his large fortune. He left Phila-
dslphin, went West, and located in Den
YER Colo. on Monday Mrs. Roberts
filed a bill in the Denver court for di-
vorce. She alleges that 1t has become
impossible for her to live with HIM on
account OF his alleged drinking habits.
She also alleges, In her complaint, that
the most of her husbands money is
gone, and, unless restrained, he will
very soon make way with all OF 1t.

The Idaho Senatorahip.
Lewiston Teller.

Let the North have senator. North
Idaho, regardless of party, still stands
firm on that issue. The Spokane Falls
papers have been recently attacked for
seeking to stir up dissension between the
North and South. All that has appeared
in the Spokane papers came as corro-
spondenoe and simply voices tho senti'
nent abroad everywhere. That, regard
less of party interests, It is our choice, 1t
Is our due, to name roprcsen tatiye from
among us for tho position of senator,
and we firmly believe that no
CLIQUE or combination ought to
,amper with that right. Tho
wants and needs of the two sections of
tho state are widely different. Let the
interests OF each section be represented
by man who is uonversant with the
wants of the section he represents.
We do not doubt the purity ofintention
or integrity of any candidate named for
senatorial honors, but, evcrything else
being equal, that man who knows our
needs best will best represent our inter-
ests. If tho new state had other repre-
sentation even in the lower house, 1t
might be different, but rs II is our rights
demand equal honors with our friends
in the South.

1t is no simple matter to state IN terms

Get. More certainty is involved in the
process than mere strength of constitu-

is not only harmless but conducive

THE SCENE OF THE AGONY.
A Visit to sorrowfui Gethscmane In

the Nineteenth Century.
On the very lowest siope of the Mount
of Olives, deep down aud unseen beyond
the inclosing wall of the Temple area,
lies the garden which is so associated
with tho sacred story-Gethsemane, the
scene of the agony. Almost opposite to
it, on the other side of the road which
traverses the narrow valley, is what is
now called the Golden Gate, supposed to
have been the beautiful gate of tho tenn
pie. 1t would be the natural and near
est way by which 10 reach that sacred
retirement. by this gate no doubt the
betrayer and his stealthy band would
follow the steps of the Lord to his favor
lie haunt stealing down under the twi-
light skies to where the shades
OF the pale olives sheltered his
prayers and mysterious anguish, and the
troubled doing of the disciples sleep
ing for sorrow," confused bythe strange,
uncomprchended tide of events, which
was drawing their feet toward some
thing they knew not what. And by
this path again, no doubt, they led their
prisoner back, avoiding the peopled
way, hurrying him into the stronghold
of his enemies.
It is said that there exists a Moslem
tradition that by this gate the Messiah
Is to ride into the holy place, taking
back his kingdom, and consequently
the precaution has been tnken-a curl
ously Intellectual one, considering the
greatness of the event-of building up
the gate. There is something even in
this superstition which is grateful to the
imaginative mind. And the singulorly
touching gjuxtaposition ofthe temple gate
and the garden is still more memorable.

there is no manner of doubt, /. now n

palirgs--a modern garden, orderly and
well cared for, which gives II certain

tend the first republican state con-
vention, to be held there on Au-
gust 90.
Mr.. Mcconnell goes as dele
gate from Latah county, and is q
candidate for senator. He spoke
very kindly of Hon. Willis Sweet,
Representative Dubois, and in fact,
of all the candidates. In reply to
the question put by a REVIEW re-
porter as to his relations with Judge
Sweet, which have been reported as
somewhat strained, he said:
~ am Mr.. Sweets friend, and
would naturally support him in the
convention, even had l not been so
instructed by my constituents. 1
may add that these instructions in
dorsins Mr.. Sweet were drawn by
myself. As to Judge Clagett, he
is one of the candidates for sena-
torial honors from Northern Idaho.
1t Is aquestion which displays the
most strength. If Mr.. Clagett
shows the most strength, will be
for Clagett, and If / do, he will be
for me, have no doubt.

we want and should have a senator
from the northern part of the
state"
1T has been reported" persisted
the reporter, THAT you have been
fighting Sweet and Dubois"
GAN such reports are incorrect"
said Mr.. Mcconnell. "They have
been circulated largely by candi-
dates for some minor offices, who,
In their endeavor to gain sympathy
for Sweet and Dubois, have hoped
to build up themselves
sis there no split in the party?'
"There is no split among the re-
publicans of Northern Idaho. We
are united in our endeavors to Sc
cure the success of the party which
proposes to protect not only the
mining, but the agricultural inter
csts OF our country. Our platform
adopted by the republican conven-
ton of Latah county Is, Idaho and
her best interests, first, last and all
the time. We are willing to let
Southern Idaho name the man of
their choice for senator, and that
port from that section of the coun-
try will receive our unqualified ap-
prevail"
GREAT CROPS IN THE PALoUsE.
How are the crops down in your
part of the country?" asked the re-
porter.
"The farmers of the Palouse coun-
try are now engaged in securing the
heaviest crop which believe was
ever grown I'm America. That Is
broad assertion but one susceptible
of proof. One of our farmers, John
Bauer, living a few miles from Mos
COW, has just finished threshing a
field of barley which yielded, ma
chine measure, 1l3 bushels to the
acre, which, by weight, will doubt
Jess make the average fully up to 40
bushels per acre.
"Another farmer, j. II. Young,
whose farm is twelve miles from
Pullman, has just completed harvest
ing and threshing seventy acres of
wheat which yielded 1000 bushels.
"Incrediblc ms it may seem, |
honestly believe the average yield
per acre over the entire Palouse
country, including both the fall and
spring sown grain, Will be above
forty bushels to the acre"

to say, however, about their nightly con.
duct. lie predicted the downfall of

Tacoma Globe: The congressman
who will be elected from Washington
this fall is Congressman John l.. Will
son, of Spokane Falls. The immense
majority with which he was elected last
year indicated the high position he held
in public confidence and regard. 1t is
hardly necessary for the Globe to re-
mind the people OF this state how ad-
mirably Congressman Wilson has met
their expectations. lie is just the kind
of man wanted TO look after the inter-
ests of new state. lie is in the high
est sense "a worker, not a tal<er, and no
member of the present congress has
been more faithful TO his duties and
has put in more hard work at
the various departments and in
committees than Wilson, of Washington
He was known to lie man OF broad
views, and the manner in which he has
ignored sectional or local seltshness and
labored for the interest of the whole
state prove his liberal mind. 1t Is sig
niticant that the only apparent opposi-
ton TO Mr.. Wilson comes from men who
desire TO succeed him and their immedi-
ute friends, and from a few soreheads
who are mixed up in petty postoffce
fight at Spokane Falls. Throughout the
state his good word is thoroughly appre-
ciated, and there is no doubt that when
the nominating convention assemblies
the only name heard will be that of John
l.. Wilson. And no delegation will more
warmly support him than that OF Pierce
county. 1t is superiiuous TO add that
his reelection by large majority is m
certain as his denomination.
