The uSuKEKS DAUGHTER.
BY CHARLOTTE N. BRAEME.
INTERNATIONAL PRESS ASSOCIATION.

She turned to go but he put out his
hand to detain her. She eluded him,
and, with Il light laugh, disappeared,
leaving him by the veranda alone.
You look ~astonished at something"
said Lord Caraven's friend to him
when he returned to resume their game
at billiards.
Yes" replied the earl-"I have been
enjoying a novel sensation"
What is that?" asked his friend.
Il am not quite sure" was the
laughing reply--'I should not like to
be too certain Of it-but | believe that

wife,
The young countess had fastened
smilingly away after presenting him
with the sprays of mignonette. If that
was the result of a few kind words,
she said to herself that she would
often say them. Sir Raoul saw her
smiling and blushing, with a glad light
in her eyes
"Well,' he said, what success, Hill
dred?'
THE best in the world" she replied:
n her pleasure was increased at
dinner time when she saw that Lord
Caraven wore some of the mignonette
in his buttonhole.
Lord Caraven was fond of music; he
had a rich, ringing tenor voice which,
as a rlle. he was too indolent to use.
He would troll out a verse of a love
ditty, or the chorus of a drinking-song
in a fashion that made one long to
hear the rest. In the evening Sir
Raoul asked him to sing.
1T is too much trouble" said the
handsome earl. Why should I exert
myself to sing when other people can
do it so much better for me?"
THAT is an idle excuse returned
Sir Raoul. Lady Caraven, persuade
your husband to sing; he has a voice
almost as rich and clear as Mario's,
but he will never use it,
She came oyer to him. He looked at
his beautiful young wife in all the
simmer of satin and CLEAN of pearls:
lie gazed earnestly into the beautiful
face.
DO sing. Lord Caraven,' she said.
you W ME something for my flow
ers this morning."
"Do you really wish me to sing, Hill
dred?" he asked.
Il do, indeed she answered.
Then you shall be obeyed. Will

Dear Money and Cheap Labor.

What is the a hat a 5O-cent
dollar is no just as good for a money
lender as 50-cent wheat for the farmer.
Two hundred cent dollars for the lend
err would be all right providing wheat
and a days work were two hundred
cents each. The trouble is Won cam
raise the standard of the dollar with
out lowering the standard of labor
and all property. No one denies that
a lump Of gold will buy more any,
where in the world than it ever would
before, while at the same time a lump
OF silver will buy just about as much

Little Carl Tennell, whom we
have known since a baby, passed
peacefully away at his home in
Challis, on Tuesday morning,
Sept. 9th, 1898, at 1915 O'Clock.
Aged, II years and 8 months.
He had been sick about two
weeks prior to his death with
whoopiug cough, but which at
last merged into consumption,
and with his delicate constitu-
ton the end soon came.
Little Carl was a cripple, and
had been such since very early
in life. and realizing his condi-
ton, he bore il without complain
ing to the last. He remained
conscious up to the time of his
death, and his last words were
Good bye mama; I'll meet you in Heaven"
He was a kind, enterprising
and bright boy; and will be
greatly missed by all.
The funeral was held from the
dining room of the New Challis
House, on Wednesday forenoon
Sept. 9TH, at 10 o'clock. The
Rev. Mr.. Foster conducted a
short but beautiful service, and
the choir rendered a number of
appropriate hymns. The coffin
was laden with beautiful floral
tributes by kind friends. The
deceased was member of the
Crescent Society of the Challis
Public School, and they furnish
ed a beautiful floral tribute of a
Crescent, the emblem of their
Society. The funeral was well
attended. The pail bearers were
six boys-his companions, and
the school children marched to
the cemetery. At the grave, as
they marched around, each one
deposited a boquet of white
flowers as farewell token.
The community extends to the
their deepest sympathy
in this their sad hour of affection.

Aug. 4th, 1898, 1 p. m.
DEAR FATHER:-I just learned
that the mail closes at 8 p. m. to-
day for America via. Hong Kong,
so will drop word or two.
After a long sea voyage of FIVE
weeks, we are at last in Manila
Bay. We arrived last Sunday,
the 31st, and have been on board
ever since, expecting to go ashore
any minute. Everything seems
to be ripe for a hot old time in
Manila. The Monterey" ar
rived this morning and anchored
a little way from us. This is
one of the finest harbors ever
saw-very large, and beautiful
surrounding country that would
be fine if it did not rain so like
the very devil. The rain pours
down every day; comes down in
solid sheets of water.
The boys that came on the first
expeditions are lying out in en-
trenchments with water up to
their knees. They heap up the
wet earth and lay bamboo down
and put the little tents on them,
and then cover the tents with
split bamboo poles.
From the boat we can see the
firing on shore, which occurs
nightly. Night before last 800
Spaniards killed 10 Americans
and wounded 45 of the Pennsyl-
vania and Utah boys. l under
stand we are going over with
them tomorrow. We will be
pressed to the front, as Idaho
men seem to be pretty tough
lot of men. We crossed the
ocean without death on board
and not a man reported sick
when we arrived. There were
several deaths on other trans
ports.
But speaking about voyages, I
never experienced anything like
it. We nearly starved all the
