her trunk was sent for and almost on
the top of everything was beautiful

she was fully prepared for death, but
no one had the least idea that the
woman was in any immediate danger
If she had had proper care little
sooner she might be living o-day.

The Home Paper.

When you were married to the
brightest and best girl in the coun-
try, where did you look for that
notice that meant so much to you
and so little to nearly everybody
else? To your home paper When
your home was invaded by the blue
eyed girl or bouncing baby boy,
to whom did you make it your bust
ness to convey the information as to
the sex, the time and the weight?
TO the editor of the home paper
In after years when some manly
young fellow takes the blue eyed
girl to home of his own; or your
once bouncing boy now a mans
given partnership in store be-
cause he has just brought home
somebody else's daughter and set up
an establishment of his own, to whom
do you personally exhibit presents
and load up with brides cake, and
to whom do you look for that com
plete description of the interesting
event down to the last pickle fork
and individual salt cellar, which
once more means much to you and
few others, and so little to any
body else? To the same editor of the
same home paper.
And when trouble comes in the
home and you add to your posses
sions that desolate bit of realty, the
lot in the cemetery, and somehow
the sun doesn't shine just as it used
to, and there's nutter of Grape at
the door and odor of the tuberose in
the front parlor, and the chair that
has for years been beside yours at
the freside and opposite you at the
table is vacant-when all this hap
pens, who makes it his business to
write in tender strains of the one
whose life has grown to be part Of
yours, and whose sympathy and good
deeds to others have long been
known and recognized if never pub
licly announced:
The editor of the home paper; and
he's only too willing to do the little
that he can to help you over the hard
spot in the road. And all these
years have you advertised in the
home paper, and done what you
could to help the editor fight your
battles in municipal and county
matters and encourage him as he has
worked to build the town and bring
business to it-?Thompson Falls

Then he was gone. Miss Wight
walked up her mother and the

about it. The servant was for going

but Miss Wight positively forbade it.

In Iowa They Will Battle Like
Daps for Free Coinage
of Silver.
Mr.. HILL SAYS A LINE OR TWO.
DIR. kcely of Dwight is Ordered
to Give His Prescription
to the World.

a call for a silver conference in
Des Moines, June 6, has been issued
by about 40 well known democrats
headed by Ex-Iieut. Gov. Bestow.
The call says: at can no longer be
doubted that concerted effort is
being made by minority, but
powerful minority, within both the
republican and democratic parties,
to folst on the country the class
doc ctrine of gold monometallism, as
distinguished from the genuine BIZ
metallsm contemplated by the con-
stitution and advocated by the dem
ocracy since the birth of the party.
This movement if backed primarily
by the money lenders of Europe,
and secondarly by the class interests
in this country that have grown up
under vicious Legislation.
"Their forces, comparatively few
in number, but working in perfect
harmony for central purpose, have
perfected their plans to control the
temporary and permanent organiza,
ton of the state convention to be
held Aug. z. If the plans of the
single gold standard forces are not
bravely met and defeated, the party
in Iowa will be enrolled under the
banner of the European fnanciers,
and the Wall street bankers. Let
us face the issue like true democrats
and acquit ourselves like men, Civ
ing our adversaries no cause for Just
complaint, but let it be a fight to
the finish. There is no time for
shirking, no time for silly compro-
misses on vital issues the welfare of
the party for years to come is at
stake"

SHE KNEW THE BURGLAR,
Miss Wight Oath to a Midnight In.
vader and Keeps It,


Miss Tibble Wight of Greenwich,
Conn, recently had peculiar ex.
perience with burglar who invaded
her room, whom she recognized, but
whom she refused to betray. 1t was
just after midnight, writes cores
pondent in the New York Sun, when
the burglar arrived and lighted a
match, which awakened Miss Wight.
She sat up in bed, and then sank
back as the visitor brandished a
bludgeon above her head and told
her that if she moved he would kill
her. He also told her he wanted all
the money and jewels she had. His
voice awakened dim memory with
in Miss Wight.
"We haven't any Jewels" replied
the girl, ''but if you won't hurt me
I'll get you what little money there
is. Go quietly or you will wake my
mother"
Miss Wight got up and was about
to lead the man to the place where
the money was kept when he said:
''Hold on, miss. Pm sorry, but I'll
have to tie you up bit. You might
get scared and shout or some
thing" He took handkerchief and
tied it about her mouth; then noticing
that she was shaking with the cold
caught the blanket from the bed
and threw it over her shoulders, say
ing: F." Pm following right behind
you' miss, so don't try to give me
the slip. Now, go ahead"
Again the idea that she had heard
the voice came to the girl as she led
the way to the bureau and opened
the drawer. The burglar struck a
match SO that he could see, and by
it's light she took out few dollars,
some small jewelry, a watch, and
brooch set with diamonds presented
to her by the Kings Daughters, of
which organization she is treasurer.
Here is where she deceived that con
fding burglar. She contrived, while
handing the other things to him, to
lower the brooch noiselessly and put
it under the bureau with her foot.
As the match flickered up just before
it went out, the girl looked straight
at the burglar, and as their eyes met
she started, a movement which he
observed.
'Aou know me, don't your said
he, and stood thinking for moment
The girl murmurd indstinctly, and
the visitor united the bandage that
was over her mouth, speaking half to
himself as he did SO.
GIVE got to take the risk anyway.
Look here, you're good church
girl, amt you:" he added, turning
to Miss Wight.
"Yes," she replied, wondering
what was coming next,
''Have you got Bible here?"
es, there is one on the stand by
the bed"
$50 and get it and don't make any
noise"
The girl took the Bible in her
hand and stood waiting.
"Now get down on your knees and
promise me that you won't tell the
police on me or set anyone chasing
me-"
Miss Wright did as she was bid.
"And that you won't appear
against me on trial if am caught"
The promise was given.
"That's all. No, wait minute.
Kiss the book"
She kissed the Bible and rose to
her feet
"You wouldn't break that promise
would you, miss, after kissing the
book?" asked the robber some what
wistfully.
"No," said the girl, and then gath
ering courage from the very
