"Then I'm going to take you down."

"Then I'm going to take you down."
The father and son took the man down
and understood how it was that he still
lived. The rope, instead of Selling the
neck of the robber, had seized the neck of
the helmet, and the sufferer, who was hung,
but not hanged, had been able to breathe
and to live until the two peasants came
along and rescued him. They took him
home and gave him into the charge of the
mother and daughter of the family.
But q thief is always a thief. There
were only two things to steal in the peas
ants cottage-his horse and his daughter,
a fair virgin of 16. The rescued man de-
termined to steal both. He wanted the
horse and lusted after the girl. One even
ing, therefore. he saddled the horse, put
on his armor and added a pair of spurs to
make the animal go more quickly, and,
Selling the young girl, who was asleep,
tried to take her up behind him, but she
awoke and cried out.
The father and the son hurried up. The
robber tried to escape, but it was too late.
The young girl told what the villain had
tried to do, and the father and the broth
or, seeing that the fellow was totally
irreclaimable, resolved to do justice on him
better than the lord of Piroche had DONE.
They took him back to Piroohe and hang
ed him again, putting his helmet on the
ground, SO that he should not escape once
more, and then they quietly went home.

HER BONNET.


An old fashioned bonnet with its queerly
shaped brim
And a fringe Of smart ruf1es that border its
rim,
A fambeaulike crown-in short, it's a poke
In its style and its make up, yet its beauties
provoke
My heart to a hutter whene'er you begin
To tie its broad ribbons down under your chin.
This dainty white bonnet tied under the chin
Is a very nice place to hide yourself in.
1t brings out a pink like the rose of the morn,
1t accents the dimples where bushes are born.
Some say it is naughty, yet were it a sin
I'd peep meath the bonnet you hide yourself
in.
When we walk in the garden. when we stand
by the sea,
When we pluck wild flowers far out on the lea,
When you pout me and fout me, swearing
softly, / say,
"As the Lord is my helper, before I am gray,
I shall kiss the red lips that are shaded within
By the folds of the bonnet you hide yourself
ini'

WOMEN RECEIVE

ning--Mrs. Carolyn Pratt
Recites.

That the College Women's Club is a sue

ing at the residence of Miss Sprague, No.
2S3 Grove street, when the club gave its
opening reception. The parlors were
filled to their utmost capacity. Miss

They even helped to serve refreshments,
and owing more to their mode of wearing
apparel than to alertness made much bet
ter progress, though perhaps not quite as
graceful, in making their way through
the crowded rooms and serving the guests.
In fact, upon first entering the room a
stranger was made at ono to feel at
home by the atmosphere of sociability
which prevailed. There was none of that
stiffness, nor weighty air of knowledge,
and several of the club members received,
While those not thus employed poured
Russian tea and American chocolate.
1t was just like an afternoon tea, only
the guests removed their wraps and staid
longer, and it happened in the evening.
But the most remarkable difference of all
lay in the fact that the gentlemen (and
they were there in abundance, not a SUI
perfluity) actually drank tea, ate dainty
sandwiches and fancy cakes, and chatted
on all sorts of subjects without appearing
boredl too often found among those with
an alphabetical appendix to their names.
Prior to the reception, more properly
speaking the congratulatory social part
thereof, there was a most enjoyable
musical and literary programme, in which

nowned in the art of elocution for COM
ment, gave the scene between Rosalind

first in this city as violinist, CAV a solo
on that instrument. There were also
vocal selections by the Schubert Quar-
tette, and Mr.. Arnheiter gave another Sc
lection, this time vocal, s'Yeoman's We'd

panist-with an encore. This ended the
programme.

M.niIa,s sanitary conditions.

Here is an item from 1.-THE American
Soldier the first American paper pub
lished in Manila. 'sTonda, the suburb be-
yond Binondo. is the dwelling place Of the
poorer class of natives, as in this quarter
the erection of huts of 'nipa' and bamboo
is permitted. The ground is perfectly fiat,
and as there is no system of drainage all
the filth from the houses accumulates,
and pools of water form in the hollows
during the wet season. The result is that
when the dry season comes the fever
makes fearful ravages among the people.
The average death rate in Manila is, un-
der ordinary conditions, from eighteen to
thirty a day, which. for a city this size
nearly 400, 000-is very moderate. Under
the present conditions of sanitation the
wonder is not tina people die here, but
that they live at all. 1t seems to prove
that the climate is not of itself very I'M

After prayer by Rev. A. B. Cort and
music by the choir the official Memoir

of the veterans were strewn with flow

attending the decoration were held.

coast. For sixteen years he has oc-
cupied the dental rooms over the Blue
Store and so closely has he identified
himself with the city and the individ-
ual interests of the people that his de-
parture will come to them almost as a
personal loss. No one ever passed him
without q pleasant word from him,
and in times of affiiction and adversely
no sympathy has been more sincere
than his and none, perhaps, have
crystalized more often into substantial
benefits. As much as he will be missed
in social, business and lodge circles, it
is among the children that his absence
will be most sincerely regretted. He
knew all of them and the home rela-
tons that have been denied him
seemed to have found in every child
in the city an object of love and kindly
consideration. He is one of natures
true noblemen, friend whose true
friendship went beneath the usual
veneering of the term and touched the
heart, making the community in which
he lived better for his having lived
in it,"

"Jim" Kelley Wanted.

A deputy u. S. marshal from Port
Townsend was here Friday i'll search
of "Jimn Kelley, wanted at Townsend
for some violation of law. When the
steamer arrived Kelley and his son
were here on the schooner "Success,"
which is said to engaged in illegal
traffic from Victoria and other British
Columbia points. Kelley seems to
have been advised of the officers ar
rival by passengers on the steamer, for
he quickly '.toOk to the woods" and
evaded capture. After remaining here
q day or two the boy left with the boat
and tspicked up" his father at some
point previously agreed upon doubt
less, and together they went along the
South San Juan shore and dorpped
anchor in cove at the north end OF
island. near Roche Harbor. Deputy
Collector Culver, with Z. r. Knsey
and w. A. Fraser, boarded the schoon-
er Tuesday morning. Kelley was con-
siderably excited and manifestiy
alarmed by their visit and kept bis
right hand on his revolver while talk
Inv to Mr.. Culver, protesting that he
/ had not violated any customs law,
though admitting that he was wanted
i'm Port Townsend for some other Of
fence. Mr.. Culver had no authority
to arrest him on any criminal charge
nor md Inc any evidence upon which
the schooner could be legally held for
smuggling or failing to report: Even
| IF he had 1t would have been impossi-
BILE to tow the schooner to Roche Har-
bor with a small row boat, against the
wind aud tide which were in Keliey,s
waters within very short time after
the customs officers left him. Neither
M. Culver nor Lieut.. Dunwoody
las been officially advised that either
the schooner or Kelley is wanted fol
any violation of law, but it was very
dav that he is desperately anxious te
avoid arrest. He is the same man who
lost q young man overheard from
sloop of Richardson about a year ago
