Walla Walla, Wash, Nov. 3U.-The
most awful massacre northwestern
history records occurred lust half Il
century ago, and yesterday marble
sraft was unveiled in memory Of the
missionary heroes who fell on that
awful day in 1S47. The site of the
monument is at Whitman Mission,
seven miles from this city, and here
only recently the remains Of the vic

stirring border romance. He was
born in Rushvlle, N. Y, September 4,
1902, and was 33 years of age when he
entered upon the work Of a missionary
in Oregon. The Methodists sent the
Lees in 1884, and the American board

Rev Samuel Parker to the far north

RAISED THE NATIVES OUT.
Advantage Which Denver Gambler
Had Over Persian Poker Sharps.

A Denver gambler named Dougherty,
while in New York, where he found
the games too slow for him, heard that
a pretty stiff game of poker was played
in Persia. So to Persia Dougherty
sailed, and he was soon popular among
the young princes, even If he could not
speak Persian. They play poker there
somewhat differently from what we
do in this country. There is never
any money in sight. A man sits near
the table and records the bets, and o
settlement is made after the game is
over. This book-keeper is also a
linguist, and whnever foreigners play
with these princes, as in Dougherty's
case, he tells of the raises" One
night Dougherty had been trailing in
on nearly every hand, only TO be beat
en- in the Showdown" Finally he
caught a pair of SKIES about the time
one of the princes caught four OF
kind. There had been deal of
"jollying" and horse play going ON
all the night. Dougherty of course,
could not understand the words that
were being spilled out around him
every second, but he never said any
thing or looked interested. He would
simply skin his cards, come in when
he had to or lay down, just as the no.
ton struck him. When he picked up
his skies, he looked the Persian in the
eye, and the Persian laughed. Thu

SONG SAVED HIS LIFE.
~ Remarkable Voice Which Was Rec
ognized After Many Years.

(The Presbyterian
Two Americans who were crossing the
Atlantic met in the cabin on Sunday
night to sing hymns. AS they sang the
last hymn, Jesus. Lover of My Soul, .
one OF them heard an exceedingly rich
and beautiful voice behind him He
looked around and, although he did
not know the face, he thought that he
knew the voice. So when the music
ceased he turned and asked the man If
he had not been in the civil war The
man replied that he had been a Con-
fedcratc soldier.
Were you at such n place at such a
night?' asked the first.
Yes" he replied. land curious

hymn has recalled to my mind / was

"All my trust on thee Is stayed;
All my help from thee bring;

long night felt no more fear"

reflection upon themselves If the hua-
band looks otherwise, and they are toe
selfish to want any such notion to gain
credence. The real reason. however, is
jealousy. a friend of mine, when !
asked him why he always wore the
same neckties, told me that If he
changed his tie or clothes or shirt, and
often If he shaved himself his wife
thought 1t was because he wanted 10
look nice for some other woman's bene-
fit. until. out of shec. desperation, he
preferred to so about looking almost un-
