epithet to Johnnie, whereupon John.

with club, leaving mark of Cain on
his forehead. This was too much for
parental endurance, and the law was
ut once invoked in a vengeful spirit

been understood that the fiddler must
be paid by those who dance. Demp-

Capt. Thomas May died at Provi-
dence hospital, Seattle, Sunday, at
100 p. NJ. Although this result was
not unexpected, the announcement
caused shock to many heart in a
community where he was so we'll
known. He was native of
Maine, about SO years of age, the past
eighteen of which were spent on
Puget Sound in the steamboat bust
ness, all the time in the employ of the
Wiley Navigation Co. until Il few
months ago when he accepted the
command of the steamer Favorite,
owned by the Port Blakely Mill Co.
He worked himself up from deckhand
to Captain by careful attention to the
details of business. A few months
ago he came to st. Peters no pi,al
suffering from an attack of heart
trouble. After a few weeks under DIR.
Redpath's skillful treatment, he
rallied, and was discharged with the
admonition that over-exertion would
be likely to bring on recurrence Of
the attack. But it was not his nature
to indulge in the repose necessary for
recovery, and very soon he was pros.
trated upon what proved to be his
death bed. So far rs is known Capt.
May had but one relative in the State,
a cousin in Seattle. Olympia Lodge
