THANKFUL MOTHERS BLESSING
Charity's Reward-The Place Where 1t Is
Never Cold. .lEI

Never Cold.
There is an old lady on the West side,
white-haired, benevolent-loolxing
woman,whose GO years of life have been
filled with good deeds, says the Chicago
Times Herald She is always doing
good, and the worthy poor always Ind
in her a friend in need. 1t was during
the first cold snap this winter that she
heard a poor widow, an Irishwoman,
with four small children, who were in
need of clothing to protect them from
the cold. The next day, with large
bundle of clothing, she visited the com
fortress rooms of this unfortunate fam
lily. The mother had gone out, but the
children were there, and this old lacy,
whose charity work is OF the practical
sort, proceeded to dress the little ones
herself, beginning with the youngest,
a mere baby. She was just fastening
the last button of the dress of the
eldest girl when the door opened and
the mother walked in. She was chilled
through, tired, and discouraged from
her failure to get work. 1t took but
an instant for her to grasp the situa-
ton, and when she looked into the
kindly face of the benefactress her eyes
were filed with tears.
''God bless ye, mum, for your kind
ness to my little Ones" she said, 'and
may ye never go to place that is cold y
my good woman" replied the cid
lady. perhaps the reason I do this is
to avoid going to a place that is hot"

Ep,oysa the Columbia scenery.


A few weeks ago party of celebrated
tourirts from New York state insl ected
the Columbia river scenery from the
decks of the Regulator and Dalles City.
Considering that they have often viewed
the famous Hudson river scenery, the
words of praise viii have much
weight. In personal letter to the D.
P. & A. N. Co. they say:
"We had a most delightful day, and it
was a revelation to US that we shall
never forget. The trip is certainly one
of the most Interesting and instructive
that person can have in q single day,
as from the deck of your steamers the
beautiful views with which the Column
bia river abounds can be seen to perfec-
ton. Please extend the thanks of all
our party to the captains and pursers of
the sDalles City, and the Regulator
They were all very kind and attentive to
us, in showing US the places of interest /;
their many courtesies added greatly to
the pleasures of our trip"

THE DALLEs Chronicle = According
to latest reports concerning Laborers vs.
Mccoy, the settlement is far from ad
justed yet. Mr.. Paulson told Mr..
Driver today he would do nothing to
help him out of his financial position,
but would rather turn around and even
help to convict both him (McCoyl and
Clinton. Now, the men are getting
tired of McCoy's promises and lies. 1t
has gone so far that the men feel that
Mccoy ought to do something to get
settlement on the mems claim.
do not want to stand by and see my
employees defrauded if L can help it. If
Mccoy wished to do right he could give
the men one-halt of their earnings,
endorse same on the back of the mems
notes, and give real estate or other secur-
ity for the other half. The men are not
unreasonable; they want their rights,
which they are surely entitled to ac-
cording to the times and wages now
going through this country. Yours
respectfully. F. ERICKSON.

NO SETTLEMENT
Newspaper Reports That the
a Venezuelan Difficulty Had
Been Ended
BY an Agreement Between the
President and Premier Sails
bury Denied.
Matters Progressing Favorably,
However, and Will End
Without Trouble.

WASHINGTON, March l3.-It can be
stated positively, notwithstanding the
publications to the contrary, that no
settlement has been reached ON the
Venezuelan boundary question, but ac-
cording to the best authority, matters
are proceeding in such fashion as war
rants the belief that there will be a
satisfactory outcome. 1t is admitted
at present it cannot be told whether
the ultimate settlement of this question
will be effected as the result Of direct
negotiations between Great Britain and
Venezuela, initiated through the
medium of some mutually friendly
power, or as the conclusion of the work
of our own Venezuelan boundary COM
mission, but in one way or the other a
peaceable and honorable settlement OF
the dispute is believed to be entirely
probable in the end, though this end
still may be far remote.
