they had called her their New Years
Gift and said she was to bring new
love into their lives! And in that night
of anguish, just before, when Margaret
lay lowering between life and death,
how he had prayed in an agony of fear
that she might not die, that he might
show his love by life of devotion to
herl And how-ah, how he had broken
those vows!
The breath comes slowly. The little

lives, and, with touch no other hand

There was slight stir. The mother
and father felt CULVER pass through
the little form. With startled faces
they bent over her. There was gasp,
sudden throwing up of the little
hands-then all was still.
In an instant his arms were around
her, her head on his breast.

In the twilight of a summer day a

The author of Round the Compass il
Australia" had put up for the night Will
the manager Of stock farm. 1t was ,
time OF drought, and the evening passed
amid stories of frightful suffering an(
losses. The manager thought it would
be hardly possible to hold out a weel
longer. SHADY Jacks well is done, =" h,

him.
Hope for the best" she said.
"My oathr' answered the manager,
"but the best things never come off"
"Yes, Dick" responded his wife, "but
the worst things never come off,"
Night after night this man had walked
the room, alternating between prayers
and curses, as each days record was an
other thousand sheep dead, another emp
ty well, until at last he had come to this
grim courage of despair.

He drew his sleeves across his eyes
and bowed his head on the table. For
ten minutes he sat there so. Then the
visitor saw him raise his head, start,
spring to his feet and listen with strained
attention. What was that? Something
pinged on the corrugated roof overhead.
Rain, rain, rain!" he shouted as be
rushed outside and fell on his knees
with his hands stretched out toward the
clouded sky.

Even SO. The food gates of the sky
were opened, and before morning the
visitor was helping to put up a dyke on
one side of the house. The march of de-
struction was staid.

portant enterprises ever inaugurated in
Northwestern Washington.

1t is no more to the credit of the
members Of the state legislature than
the candidates for United States sena-
tor themselves that the rumors are so
largely current that money is to be
freely used in the coming election. If
either candidate endeavors to purchase
the position, he not only shows his I'M
fitness for it, but offers an unpardon-
able insult to the entire legislature as
well as to every honorable voter
throughout the state. That man
elected to any Office should use his in
fiuence for those who aided in his sue
cess is reasonable and to be expected,
but that bribery should be used, or even
suggested ,isone of the evils from which
the state of Washington should either
purge itself or surrender the name it
has assumed in favor of the traitor
Benedict Arnold. The truth is that
under the circumstances, while either
OF the two prominent candidates for the
office has the ability to grace the senate
chamber, neither one is an absolute
necessity either to his party or state,
and If the current rumors of using
money have any basis in fact outside
the imagination of the press reporters,
the members of the legislature owe it
to themselves and their constituents to
use the surgeons knife in the settling
of the senatorial dispute. The need o
the hour is for statesmen, not poll
ticians.

After crossing the usual heated yell
low plains, looking for all the world like
an expanse of overparched hayfields and
dotted here and there with droves of
springbok, we outspanned two and SO
rode back again across the hot, weary
plain for camp. We had not long quit
ted the forest before we sighted good
troop of Burchell's zebra, feeding quiet
ly. We spread out in line and rode up
TO them.
The troop, which consisted mostly Of
mares with yearling foal or two, was
guarded by an old stallion, who stood
sentinel nearest TO us with his head up.
Presently, turning half round, he gave
some sort Of signal and the rest of the
band galloped briskly off, curveting
and capering as they ran. After moving
a few hundred yards the troop suddenly
wheeled round in line to have good
look at us again.
These tactics of the zebras were dis
played in a retreat of some miles, the old
stallion always covering the rear, until
the troop, outfanked by Dove, shot off
to the right and my chance came. l gal
Hoped hard to intercept them, and as
they stood for minute on seeing me in
the line Of fight, got steady shot at
200 yards. The bullet clapped as If on a
barn door, and as the troop continued
their fight saw one zebra turn away
alone. Presently she stood again. /
was soon within sixty yards, and with
another bullet finished her. She proved
to be fine mare in beautiful coat, and
her head and skin now decorate room
at home.-Longman's Magazine.

One of the most aggravating things to a
person Of good sense is the method which
people employ in dealing with flies. They
are useful scavengers, and if they would
limit their inroads to places where they are
needed they would do good service. Un-
fortunately, however, when they once come
in force they often pervade the most clearly
homes. One of the most successful meth
DDS in dealing with flies is TO hang up some
herb or plant which is offensive to them
and not offensive to the residents of the
house.
Sweet clover, which grows beautifully by
the roadside and has faint, pleasant odor,
unobjectionabletoan any one not afflicted with
hay fever has the reputation of being abb
horred by flies. A few sprays of this plant
hung in the parlor, or cluster of the
sweet, white, tassel-like heads as bouquet
on the center table will do more work In
Kidding the room of flies than a dozen fly
traps.
There is considerable doubt whether any
trap which contains molasses, sugar or any
such material does not draw in more flies
than it kills, besides being disgusting
and uncleanly way of meeting this nui-
sance.-Ohio Farmer.

Gallery audiences" said q veteran
sttache of one of Philadelphia's theaters
recently, "are made up Of some of the
most intelligent playgoers in the city.
Young men of moderate incomes pre-
vail, but often wealthy youths go among
the gods, as their elevated station at
fords in many respects the most advan.
tageous place from which to view the
stage. The receipts from the gallery.
moreover, are very important item, and
the people in it do good work in leading
the applause. Edwin Booth always be-
gins an after the play speech by gazing
up at the gallery in recognition of its en-
thusiasm In greeting him.
Lawrence Barrett was always popu-
lar with the gods in Philadelphia, and he
used to say their applause was as re-
freshing drink to him. For the most
part the gallery audiences were well be-
haved, critical and intelligent, and for
myself i should feel sorry to see them
relegated, in this city anyhow, to the
pit as the English call the parquet."-

FRS. pilgrim Father Feast.

As far back rs 1921 there was an &C
tual dinner of Pilgrim Fathers, and in
the month of December. But it was
not in celebration of the landing Of the
Pilgrims Dec. 20. On the contrary, it
was a feast of thanksgiving that so
many of the colonists were yet alive and
had enough food to carry them over the
hard Massachusetts, winter. The feast
occurred on Dec. 10, old style, which
would bring it to Dec. "a in our calendar.
The first real and formal Pilgrim Father
! einner was therefore eaten Dec. "a, 1921.
There was not much foolishness about
that first Pilgrim Father dinner. There
were no gorgeous French walters in
white gloves, no elegant gentlemen in
swallowtail suits, who sat down and ate
their way through long menu of
French dishes, after which, amid the
popping of champagne bottles and
laughter and uproarious applause, the
wittiest orators in the colony tried who
could talk the most nonsense.
Not muchi The eaters Of the first Pill
grim Father dinner would have con-
signed the whole iniquitous modern
crew-French walters, orators and all
to the stocks, though they might have
drunk the champagne. There seems
never to have been time when either
Pilgrim Fathers or their descendants
were not good judges of champagne.
During the year following the landing
of the Mayfiower colonists their hard
ships had been such that 4e out of
i01 had died. They had been in danger
Of perishing from the cold, likewise of
starving and being killed by Indians.
By December, 1921, it began to look as
II their settlement might be permanent,
and they held their feast, which was the
first Thanksgiving dinner eaten in this
country, as well az the first Pilgrim
Father feast. The menu consisted of
hominy, barley bread, pea soup and deer
and wild turkey. It is interesting to
know that there was turkey at the first
Thanksgiving dinner in this country.
Indians had been invited to the mid
day dinner. After it was over the rugged
colonists had shooting match. This
was INDUCED as much to impress Mas
sasoit and his braves with the white
mans ability to aim bullet az anything
else. How all is changed nowi No
hominy, no shooting match. and the
only Indians at the feast are of the Tam
many and Iroquois cut.

In our manner Of electing president, vice

THE DEeUTANTE.

The rosebud falters at the ballroom door
For one small moment, shrinking she'd re-
tire;
Fain leave the scenes which for the nonce In
spire
More dread than longing. Even now the floor,
Smooth and as slippery as the virgin ice,
Swims like sun before her dazzled gaze.
What sees she TO alright? This paradise
Has been her hope, her dream, these many
days.
One moment more she waivers, but the hand
And voice OF chaperon in reprimand
Encourage. So, boldly plunging In,
She joins the general gay and happy din.
Sweet bud, the glow OF pleasures exercise
Exalts her beauty in our ravished eyes.

An En9lishman's Story of the
Killing of Four Germans.

ST. PAUL Mimi, February FL The
Globe in the morning will publish an
interview with X. J. Kimberly of Homo
lulu, who was present during the recent
change OF government, which contains
many new facts. Kimberly is EN- route
to England and will deliver to the English
Government some important papers in
connection with the new Government of
Hawaii from the British representative
there. He explained that England had
been making attempts to get possession OF
the islands for some time, and would
have succeeded had it not been for the
unexpected execution OF the Americans
plans. He says that on the day of de-
claration of the new Government not
more than dozen men demanded the
change. He further asserts that the
German planters for several years had
been trying TO have the islands annexed
by their Government, and they were
very angry at the organization of the new
Government.
About 200 Germans and natives started
TO drive the american Volunteers
away from the police station and palace.
Mr.. Kimberly continues: There were
a number of English who sided with the
Germans. To show how strong was the
popular sentiment against the Americans,
men were armed from the German and
English Consulates.
''They moved up to the palace at mid
night in a solid body, there made de-
mand for the surrender of the Americans
and when this was refused they shot at
them The Americans ran at them with
loaded guns and deliberately shot back at
them. -Four Germans were killed. The
Americans threatened to shoot them all
if they continued to interfere. ard the
men discreetly retired. The Americans
allowed them to carry away the bodies OF
the men who were shot.
'fWe afterward had consultation over
the matter, but the German and English
Consuls declined to take any further
steps in the matter. The Americans
claimed the men were killed in q street
fight with each other, and no official re-
port of the matter was made. l do not
suppose the Americans would give the
islands up to England now, but there will
be protest against their continuing in
possession
