q. w. Breese's House Burned.

On Sunday morning last, while the
family were at breakfast, the home OF
G. W. Breese, located about ten miles
northeast of town, took fire, and be-
fore it was discovered the flames had
made such Roadway that the house
could not be saved, and only portion
of the contents were gotten out.
The fire started, presumably, by a
spark from the chimney, which fell
among some very dry material setting
a large wood pile on fire. There was
a high wind blowing and soon large
fire was under head way. The family
noticed roaring noise while at break

train on the railroad nearby, and did

Aged 3 months and % days.
The funeral occurred at o'clock
p. IN. on the day Of death, from the
Congregational church. Rev. Geo. NJ

course to large congregation of sor-
rowing and sympathizing friends from
the words: Except We are converted

take comfort in the thought that
their loss for time is little Orpha's
gain for eternity. 1t would seem hard
indeed to imagine place of eternal

not believe that little innocent babes,
such as this was, were the most proper

He can all our sorrows heal.

Saw the Soldiers.

Ritzville people were fortunate to
the extent that they had the privilege
last Saturday of seeing with their own
syes some of Washington's real, live
soldiers. Word was received about
noon Saturday that the soldiers would
pass through about 2 o'clock in the
afternoon, and the excitement and
patriotism began to raise accordingly.
Although the gentle zephyrs were
travelling at about II forty-mile gait
the citizens managed to raise about
every flag in town that sports pole,
numbers of small flags were nailed to
walls, fences, etc, till the town looked
like young Fourth OF July. The
word came that the train bearing the
national defenders would not get here
until 3 o'clock, but a good lookout
was kept so there would be no chance
for them to slip through. 3 o'clock
found most of the population of Ritz
vile at the depot, when the news
came that it would be 5 o'clock before
they got here. A few of the country
people, who had been waiting to see
the soldiers, went home, but the ma
jority of them settled down to stay all
night, if necessary. While this was
going on some of the G. A. R. men
conceived the idea of serving some re-
freshments to the boys when they
came along, so a contribution hat was
passed and the needful secured.
1t is not necessary to state what the
refreshments were, or that Colonel
Gent wired the captain at Sprague
that same was waiting for them here,
but it is a matter of history that when
the train came in at 5 o'clock it did
stop and the soldiers said that al
though they had met with enthusi-
astic receptions at every station along
the line, Ritzville was the only place
that had served refreshments with the
reception.
The train made ten minute stop,
during which time the soldier boys
and the citizens did lots of talking and
cheering. All the steam whistles In
the town kept blowing. A committee
on salute, armed with blacksmith's
anvils, dynamite, etc, kept up con-
tinual bombardment, at which the
soldiers would yell when particularly
loud report was heard.
There were about 200 men on board,
being company each of artillery and
infantry. All were robust looking
fellows and seemed to be anxious for II
chance to show what they were made
of. There is no doubt but what they
will make a good showing should the
opportunity offer.

WHY HE REPROVED.
There Was Just a Faint Suspicion
of Self-Interest In His
Complaint.

It isn't every man in Uncle Sans pay who
feels his responsibility as does an old Irish
man Who is treasury messenger. just the
other day he was berating an absent clerk
for leaving some pins on the edge of his
desk where they might be brushed off by
anybody passing

"and wasted, to the extravaganza of the
government, which is already so hard up it's
borrowin' money, it is, to pay ixpinses, and
it's a shame, it is, for the min in the gov
ernment im1ploy to be wastin' pins which
cost money"
There was general laugh at the earnest
ness of the old mans complaint, and some
body said he deserved an increase of salary
for his devotion to the interests of the coun-
try. And then, as the clerks trooped out,
the old man said to the last of them:

Peculiar Decision In the Case Of an
English Usurer.
Sometimes, without doubt, American
and British judges, who are held to a
close accountability to the letter of a
law which may have in it no justice
for a particular case, may we'll sigh for
the latitude of an oriental cudi. Some
times, moreover, they may riehtfully
bend the administration of tho law in
the direction of absolute justice.
An English paper, for instance, 70
cords a peculiar decision in the suit
of a usurer against poor woman. The
man had lent the woman money in
such way that it was to be paid in
two insta1lments, and with menthly
usurious interest. The woman was un-
able to pay the amount due.
The judge satisfied himself that the
woman was honest and honorable, end
that what she had already paid In in
stalments would cover the original loan
and reasonable interest.
"Will you accept five pounds In dis-
charger" asked the judge of the plqin.
tiff; "you will then have had ten psr
cent. on the loan."
The plaintiff would accept nothing
less than the full amount to wbaHA
the law entitled him.
Then,'' said the Judge, "althougA
cannot invalidate the agreement, can
make an order which, think, will At
