STORIES OF THE DAY,

Explain Things.

The Editor Was Shut OF In His Desire to
Explain Things.
A story was recently told of how a
preacher tested the effect of the hard
times upon his congregation. At the
conclusion of one of his sermons he said !:
"Let all in the house who pay their
debts stand up"
Instantly every man, woman and
child, with n exception, arose to their
feet. He seated the crowd and then
said:
LET every man who is not paying
his debts stand up"
The exception noted, a careworn,
hungry individual, clothed in his last
summer suit, slowly assumed a perpen-
dicular position and leaned upon the
back Of the seat in front of him.
"How is it, my friend, " inquired the
minister, that you are the only mar
in this large congregation who is un-
able to meet his obligations?'
II publish a newspaper" he meekly
replied. land my brethren here, who
have just stood up, are my subscribers,
and"-
LET as pray!' exclaimed the min
lister. -1ndependent Herald.

She Can Lasso . Wild Horse.

Miss Kitty G. Wilkins, the famous
horsewoman Of Idaho, has been in Den.
yer for a couple Of weeks, making ar.
engagements for a shipment Of horses to
the south from her ranch, 80 miles
south of Boise City, at Mountain Home,
ON the Union Pacific railroad.
Miss Wilkins is in many respects a
most remarkable woman. For the past
nine years she has been selling horses
and making money out Of the business
where many others have failed.
Miss Wilkins is q tall blond, with
closely cropped hair Of a golden hue,
and in dress and appearance she is not
at all unlike many another woman to
be met with on the street every day.
She was just getting ready to leave the
city for Chicago, and while she was
talking would step to the glass and af-
fectionately fix her front and back hair,
which but shortly before had seen the
curling iron.
She carefully slowed away in her grip
little white boxes, bits of chamois skin
and a sponge, with a little hand glass.
She was neatly attired in a blue wool
travelling dress, with a light waist, and
there were bits of jewelry worn. She
said:
Eyes, with my father and three broth
ers l have had charge of a horse ranch
in Idaho for the past nine years. I do not
attend the round ups or the branding,
but l have always sold the horses we
have for sale each year and have been
very successful. It has been our good for
tune to make money on our horses every
year in spite of the depression that has
come upon the business. I 80 to points
in Georgia and Florida and there dis
pose of the stock I have for sale, and am
uniformly successful"
Can you lasso a horse?"
Certainly. I can and do ride over the
ranges looking after our stock and take
a great deal of pleasure in it. You see,
we raise cattle as we'll as horses, but I
do not like cattle, and so have nothing
to do with them. I used to ride the
ranch a great deal more than I do now,
but l like it as we'll as ever, only that I
have not the time. The ranch house and
the surroundings of our mountain home
are not unlike the typical ranch any
where in the west, and many of our ami
mails range on the government land and
are rounded up every year and branded.
do you travel alone?"

Inconvenience in it, and never feel the
want Of . 70 called protector. I am
amply able to take care Of myself. -

years old and otherwise healthy. She
eats heartily when aroused for her meals
and answers intelligently when asked
questions while she is awake. She had
a similar attack q year ago, but it lasted

ASERIOUSC CHARGE
Mrs. Laura Perkins Of Minne-
apolis Accused of Her Sis
ter'S Murder,
CARRIED HEAVY INSURANCE.
Her Death Caused by a Fire
Declared to Have Been
Accidental,

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 26.-Mrs. Laura
Perkins, charged with the murder OF
her twin sister Lola, was arraigned in
the police court during the afternoon
and remanded without bail to appear
Thursday next for a preliminary hear.
Ing. Mrs. Hawkins, the dead woman,
expired on the morning Of Aug. 9from
injuries supposed to have been received
BY the accidental explosion of a lamp.
The recent developments in the case
and the arrest of Mrs. Perkins have
caused q sensation in this city second
only to the murder of Catherine Cling,
and the motive for the crime is said to
have been the same in both cases.
Mrs. Hawkins carried q, 0 insurance
on her life, and her sister, Mrs. Per-
kins, now under arrest, was the sole
beneficiary.
Was Supposed to BE Accidental.
At the time Of the occurrence every
one supposed it to have been accidental,
and no one for a minute ever thought
that the sister, still alive and q widow
who resides with her one child, was
capable Of the terrible act Of which she
now stands accused.
Superintendent Of Police Smith, how.
ever, looked into the case slightly and
1nAlly consulted with County Attorney
2gye, and, - . result Of their investi-
cations, inspectors Lawrence and Hoy
were detailed to work on the case, and
he insurance companies, too, asked to
10 some investigating before paying
IRE % 1000 insurance. They sent their
tWo medical inspectors to this city,
and since that time work has been CO.
ing on night and day on the case, with
~ result that Mr.. Perkins was ar
sssted on the terrible charge.
Two Lamp Explssions.
Mrs. Hawkins, the deceased, was
lpjured on two different occasions
- lamp explosions. The first al
lesed explosion simply burned her
hands in quite = serious manner. The
occasion Of the second alleged lamp ex.
plosion Of Aug. 8 is the one about
which interest entirely centers.
The theory Of the state is that while
the deceased slept, Mrs. Perkins satu-
1ated her sisters clothing with kero-
ssne oil and set fire to it with matches;
that then she, herself, upset the lighted
lamp on the stand to add credibility to
the story that Mrs. Hawkins had acct
dentally overturned it in her sleep.
The flames at once
developed the Sleeping Woman
and Mrs. Perkins screamed for help.
No effort was made by Mrs. Perkins to
put out the flames and it was not until
the arrival Of neighbors that anything
was done. Then help was too late to
be of any service to Mrs. Hawkins.
She was burned almost to a crisp.
Public sympathy is strongly with the
arrested woman, and many believe that
the authorities and insurance detec.
tives have been too hasty and have
worked a terrible and irreparable in
jury. Others in a position to form a
clearer opinion do not for a be.
lieve County Attorney Nye would issue
the warrant did he not have at his
hand almost certain evidence of the
charge which he has made.
