TWO KINDS OF HERClSM.
A High Quality of Character Discovered

No one is irretrievably lost in whom
the sense of honor survives. A Paris
paper recounts the case of woman
who had been arrested, convicted OF
some offensc and sentenced to impris .

to the prefecture from Boulogne-sur-
Seine by steamer, when ut the Concorde
bridge a well-dressed man threw him

self narrowly escaped collision with a
steamer.
The heroic officer was cheered by the
crowd who had witnessed his bravery;
and the body of the man he had striven

shown, for on the pier the woman,
true to her word, was waiting for the
detective, and handed him his coat,

We Are Ungrateful to the Living hot

Have you ever thought of how very
ungratefu. we are toward the living,
and how we hustle around TO make
amends for 1t after they are dead?
Among the prosperous farmers just
over the border of an adjoining STATE
was one noted for making things count.
He had as good and faithful a wife M

not seem to have much time for Der.
She managed the household affsirs
splendidly, made the finest butter TINT
went 70 the city market and never al.
lowed her family to want for home
comforts. If she got the toothache
he allowed her to doctor ii, and II she
complained OF the pain he said she was
growing, and showed by his manners
that he was annoyed.
But If a sheep got the shifts or If
COW showed signs of hollow horn, or
o pig became slightly scroffy, he would
tear around at q great rate, SIT up ali
night, or ride post haste to town and
buy very expensive medicines, or bring
the veterinary. He couldn't bear to
see an animal suffer, besides, If 1t died,
1t was dead loss.
Through neglect to consult dentist
this mans wife became sorely afflicted,
but che kept on her feet for his sake, as
long as she could, then took tn her bed
and died.
That man took it awfully hard, wore
Grape, went moping around for year
or more, and put up monument TO
her memory at cost that would have
covered the expense Of providing her
with needed help, medical attention,
or made her life comfort to her and

Cincinnati furnishes typical case.
Prof. Vaughn, one of the most learned

AS soon as hrs starved, emaciatcd,

whole town rushed to the rescue. The
good people who knew him well and rad
often seen him in tatters were mortified
to learn that he had died In want. The
papers extolled his greatness in ool-
umns of editorial, the ministry re-
counted his virtues In glowing words,
and leading citizens at once proposed
monument TO perpetuate his memory,
and, of course, to show their high APP
probation of the man and of his ac-
oomplishments.

Good and Evil In Love.

Love is the grandest thing in the
universe. God is love, and love is Of
God. Love is also debased and debas-
ing. 1t represents lust and greed ard
license. Love of the world, love OF
money, love of drink, love of sinful
pleasures and indulgence tend TO per-
sonal ruin. 1t makes all the difference
in the world what you love, and how.
You ought to love, and you ought not
to love. A weighty responsibility
rests on you in the choice and guidance
of your loves. s. Times.

Word was received yesterday at the
Great Northern general offices of a pc
culiar accident which befell one of the
company's freight trains in the Cas-
cade mountains where for the past
week or two all the trains have been
more or less delayed by the, great
quantities of snow.
This freight train, which was loaded
with shingles, encountered big snow
slide on the west slope of the Cascade
range just west of the big switch
back. The crew backed the train
down again until the rotaries could
be put at work on the immense drifts,
but after backing down short dis
tance it was found that a second slide
had occurred in the rear, and the train
proceeded again to the original block
ade.
While thus hemmed in before and
behind a third slide bore down, strik-
ing the train amidships, derailing sew
eral of the loaded cars.
The train was cut off from all out
side communication for a period OF
seven hours, when relief came and
the shingles were taken on toward
their destination.

CONTROL OF CANTEENS.
State Cannot Touch or Tax Those
at Soldiers Homes.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Jan. 2-An i'm
portant point involving interference
of county or state officers with ma
tional soldiers home canteens was
settled by Judge Seaman today.
Judge Seaman holds that the lands
and property employed for the home
constitute instrumentalities for the eX-
ecution of the powers of the general
government, and are therefore exempt
from such control of the state as
would defeat or impair their useful
ness for those purposes. The manage
ment and officers are agencies of the
United States, and as such are exempt
from any interference by the author
tiles or courts of the state in their
control, discipline or government of
the home"
Then, after citing authorities in sup
port of this position, Judge Seaman
continues: CAS- such inStrumentalities
of the general government the proper
ty is exempted from taxation by the
state or local authorities, and upon
the same ground regulations estab-
lished thereon under the sovereign
power are not subject to control or
interference by the municipality or
state regarding license for the sale
of liquor and like restrictions. For
such exemptions it is necessary to OBJ
tain cession Of jurisdiction by the

wood, who was manager of the old
combine, will occupy a similar position
in the new deal and the general head
quarters will be at Minneapolis. The
agreement calls for deposit amount
ing to one cent for each barrel of the
output or expected output, of each
mill, which deposit will be held as a
forfeit fund against any cutting Of
prices or other failure to stick to the
strict letter of the agreement. In case
member cuts the prices agreed to, or
in any way breaks the rules Of the
trust, such member will forfeit every
dollar of this fund. The combine will
esta blish and enforce all prices of flour,
will regulate the daily output of each
mill in the agreement, and will handle

No Way Out of the De-

CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-It is practically
settled that the decentralization in
party rates between Chicago and st.
Paul will continue, for some time at
least There is no chance of doing
away with it unless the Wisconsin
Central can be brought into the agree
ment, and the officials Of that line
have been advised by their counsel
that any attempt to restrict party
rates will be violation of the inter
state commerce law. 1t is claimed by
the legal gentlemen that the party
rates cannot be abolished between
Chicago and st. Paul unless they are
wiped out in the entire territory east
of the Missouri river. A proposition
has been submitted to the western
reads asking if they will agree to this.
1t will be considered at the meeting to
be held in this city next Tuesday.
The trouble between the transcon-

cars run with landseekers' excursions

have definitely withdrawn all their Of
