The Cause of Failure.

Bill Nye went visiting, and while he
was deposited went busted. Bill didn't
know the bank was gone, so he went up
to draw out $500, and this was what he
thought: "What was my surprise and
indignation to find in place of the bank
nice new book and stationary store.
sAnd what can 1 do for you?' asked an
urbane man with disheveled whiskers,
where the Farmers and Swappers' bank
has gone, says 1, with some warmth.

return that it has taken advantage of

soon, but of course at present it is

Babes in the woods.

Late Saturday night word was brought
to Brownsville that two children of
William E. Riggs. aged respectfully
and 6 years, who live about ~ miles
east of the town, up in the hills. were
lost in the brush, and some of the citi-
zens were out hunting them all night,
but without success. Early Sunday
morning about seventy-five men and
boys started out to scour the brushy
hills. The rain had fallen nearly all
night, and it was cold and stormy, and
grave fears were entertained for their
safety, and it was not relieved when a
little dog, that had gone with them, re-
turned home alone about 8 O'Clock in
the morning. The search was diligently
prosecuted, however, and about IL
O'Clock the two little ones we've found
safe under large fir tree, about 21S
miles from home, over on the slope OF
Mcdowell creek. They were not hurt,
but their feet were blistered, and they
were cold and hungry. They were soon
returned to their home, after an absence
of about nineteen hours. Guns were
fred and the hardy searchers came joy
fully in from the search.

Decadenoe of sturgeon.

Fishermen complain f,the scarcity of
sturgeon in the Columbia, and say the
failure of the legislature to pass any law
for the protection of the fish has result
ed in a general slaughter of them for
the past two or three years by parties
who pack them for shipping east, and
that if this is continued it is certain to
result in determination. AS it is, a
steamboat now has to be employed to
run up fish here and there, and travel
ing go miles to get ton or two of fish.
Sturgeon are now being caught as far up
as the Cascades, where yearly multitudes
of the small ones are slaughtered in the
fishwheels.-Bake City Democrat.

shelter among the Potomac Indians.
BY these she was betrayed into the
hands Of the colonists who held her
as a hostage for her fathers mis-
deeds Smith had meantime gone to
England and upon the representa-
tion that he was dead she received
the advances Of another Engllshman,
John Rolfe. In the church at James
town, the tower of which still stands,
she was baptized and named Rebecca
and here soon afterward she was
married to Rolfe. This marriage
cemented peace between the two
peoples and until his death Pow

white man. He never deigned to
visit his daughter, however, though
he sent her presents In 1916 Poca-

One day Capt. Smith, whom she

Sleeping Car Berths Now Nearly All Made
Up SO-Reasons Alleged.
The disappearance Of the duster on
American railroad trains was recent
ly pointed out as change which has
come over the travelling public in the
past five years without attracting the
slightest notice Every one once wore
duster. No one now does. The
Railroad Gazette has recently been
publishing number Of letters on
another change as sudden and rs COM
plete. Five years ago all berths on
sleepers were made up with feet to
the engine, unless the reverse was
ordered. To-day nearly all berths are
made up che other way on the main
lines, and it is the exception that the
old position is retained. No one Of
the Ga2ette's correspondents has
given a reason for this, save one, that
on an elevator no one objects going
up, though descent is often disa-
greeable, There Is the additional
reason that whatever draft is created
Is more agreeable II 1t comes from be-
hind the head than If it blows in the
face. The change has also come since
the porter's or the sleeper rules, one
or both, were less stringent as to
closing windows in lower berths If
window is open an inch or two the
passengers comfort is greatly in
creased, and the open window is nat
urally at the rear end of the berth,
and as naturally the berth is made up
with the pillow at the head What
ever the cause, the curious fact re-
mains that habit Of making up
berths with heads to the rear has
suddenly been altered by the general
consent Of travellers, who have all
found out what a few discovered ten
years ago, that the way to be COM
Portable on a sleeper is to take a
lower berth, have the head to the
engine and wedge up the rear window
an inch or two so as to let in fresh
air

Opportunities for Sluggers offered by

The Island Of Santa Catalina
where, it is reported, a number of
wealthy Los Angeles men will build
a large athletic club house, and will
hereafter invite all prize fights to
take place in it, is about thirty miles
off the coast of Southern California,
with San Pedro, eighteen miles from
Los Angeles, the nearest port. 1t is
a large and hilly island, many thou
sands of acres in extent, and has an
excellent harbOr. Until a few years
ago it was inhabited only by half
dozen Mexican half-breeds, who
grazed their hocks on the green hill
sides. Even now there are only a
few houses on the island, though
ranchmen have discovered its capa-
bilities and have transferred con-
siderable stock there. The pleasure
lovers of Southern California have
also found out that there are many at
fractions winter and summer, in the
way of fishing, bathing, and riding,

land seems hardly more than a dim
blue hummock rising from the ocean.

The use of oil as fuel at the Worlds
Fair demonstrated its superiority to
coal in many ways. The heat which it
furnishes is absolutely uniform; there
is no smoke and no ashes. Fewer men
are necessary about boilers fired with
oil, and the services of firemen or
stokers and men to handle ashes is I'M
necessary. The ratio between coal and
oil was found at the Fair to be 1884
gallons of oil to the ton of coal; that is,
10000 gallons of oil consumed daily in
furnishing power and heat to the Fair
was equivalent to $50 tons of good
lump coal Averaging coal at 10 tons
to the carload, the Exposition manage
ment would have had to handle 30 car
loads of coal per day. There would
have been, besides, about 10 carloads
of ashes to handle.

POCAHoNTAs Asthe life of Capt. John
SHE APPEARED INSmith, the famous
LONDON explorer and founder
Of Virginia when he was taken prls-
Oner before her father at Werowoco-
moco (noW Shelby, Gloucester Coun-
ty Va,); but it is certain that after
ward she saved the life of Smith and
the party with him. that on many
occasions she hefriended the colon
lists, feeding them when starvation
was staring them in the face, and
that by her marriage to John ROlfe
she turned the deep hatred of Pow
hatan against the colony of James
town to as deep friendship for the
whites.
The story Of how she is said to have
saved the life of Smith at Werowo-
Comoco Is familiar almost to all.
Smiths head was laid upon two
blocks of stone and the Indians stood
around with clubs ready to beat out
his brains, when Pocahontas laid her
own head on his to save his life. The
chief spared Smith and the latter be-
came armorer to Powhatan and trim
ket maker to Pocahontas. During
Smiths captivity Pocahontas leaned
to love the white man and was mi
tiated into some of the truths Of
Christianity. 1t was through her in
tercession with her father that Smith
was allowed to return to the colony
at Plymouth. Subsequently when
starvation stared the coloniSts in the
face Pocahontas with some of her
people gave them corn and game,
and when, in 1909, Powhatan laid a
plot to murder Smith and others of
the colonists, who had gone on an
expedition far from jamestown, it
was the Indian MAIDEN who

Royalty and Life Insurance.

The reigning families of Europe are
large customers of the various life in
surance offices. The late prince con-
sorts life was insured for close upon
$4,000, 600, which Victoria has now in
her possession, and her life, again, is
largely insured for the benefit of her
younger children, notably for Princess
Beatrice. The late Emperor Frederick
of Germany was also insured for very
large amount-in the neighbOrhood Of
$4,000, 0O0-and he was regarded as a
splendid risk until the sudden and
startling discovery, only two years
prior to his death, that he was afflicted
with cancer. The reigning families of
Denmark and Sweden, as well as those
of Saxony, Wurtemburg and Italy are
likewise good customers of the insur-
ance companies; and so, too, is the
Queen regent of Spain, who has her
life insured for very large amount in
behalf of her two little daughters.

CHAPTER XXYI.

ChAIAEh AANI'
The festivities of that night were
not soon forgotten. 1t was as though
all the beauty and elite of the county
we're gathered together; and the queen
of the brilliant assembly was Leonie,
Countess of Charnleigh.S
1t was perhaps the happiest, GER
tainly the most brilliant, evening of her
life. The golden glamour of first love
was strong upon her. She knew that
one glance from her beautiful eyes
would bring the man she best loved
ON earth to her feet; she saw the BRAY
est and noblest in the land gathered at
her bidding to do her homage. The
charades were most effective people
we're eloquent in their expressions of
admiration. The lights and flowers,
the cleaning jewels and shining
dresses, the ripping fountains, the
banks of brilliant blossoms, rising one
above the other, the superb hangings
the statues half hidden in the foliage,
all presented a scene of beauty as
dazzling as if it was a novel. The
theater, with its pretty stage, was
much admired. Lady Charnleigh was
surrounded by admirers; her guests
seemed never to weary of praising her
tact and graceful management. Sew
eral times Sir Bertram tried to APP
proach her, but she held up u white
finger as though to warn him away.
Captain Flemyng looked around on
the scene of magnihcence and splendOr.
Lady Charnleigh was standing where
the light from one of the large chan
deliers fell full upon her; there was u
smile on her radiant face, for the chief
magnate of the county, the Duke of
Burdon was complimenting her, and
Leonie was young enough to enjoy
dattery from duke.
"She looks like a queen among her
eourtiers," said the young soldier to
himself IL say from my heart that
she reigns here far better than I
should"
Some softening thought had evident
ly passed through her mind, for she
smilingly invited him to join her, and
he thought she preferred his society to
that of Sir Bertram Gordon.
Then the brilliant company went in
long procession through the broad, fra
grant corridor to the theater, where
everything was prepared for them. A
pretty little greenroom had been fitted
up for those who were to join in the
tableauX and charades. One after the
other each beautiful picture was re-
ceived with great eclat, the two favor.
