Tomorrow the story of the famous
Fouu tain trial will be concluded. Mr.
Catron's mastery speech for the prose-
cution will be printed, together with
the charge to the jury and the verdict.
The HERALD'S account of the last days
of the trial is without counter part
No other report was made of the splen-
did addresses to the jury by counsel on
both sides. The HERALD'S account
stands alone as the most nearly COM
plete, and the only one outside the Of
fetal record of the court stenographer
that has been at all times absolutely i'm
partial. The addresses of counsel and
the courts charge are full of interest
to every reader, but especially so to
lawyers. The summing upof counsel
makes story in itself as Interesting as
any novel. Noted jui lists say the Foun-
tain case is absolutely without prece-
dent.)

Position and Sleep.

The position affects sleep. A con-
strained position generally prevents re-
pose, while a comfortable one wooes
sleep. Lying fiat on the back, with the
limbs relaxed, would seem to secure the
greatest amount of rest for the muscu-
Lar system. This is the position assumed
in the most exhausting diseases, and it
is generally hailed as token of revival
when a patient voluntarily turns on the
side. But there are several disadvan-
tages in the supine posture which i'm
pair or embarrass sleep. Thus in disor-
dered conditions of the stomach the
blood seems to gravitate to the back of
the head and to produce troublesome
dreams.
Nearly all who are inclined to snore
do so when lying on the back, because
the soft palate and uvula hang on the
tongue, and that organ falls back so as
partly to close the top of the wind
pipe. It is better, therefore, to lie on
the side, and, in the absence of special
disease rendering it desirable to lie on
the weak side SO as to leave the healthy
lung free to expand, it is well to use the
right side, because when the body is
thus placed the food >gravitates more
easily out of the stomach, and the
weight of the stomach does not COM

Since she went home
The evening shadows linger longer here,
The winter days fill much of the year,
And even summer winds are chill and drear-
Since she went home.
Since she went home
The robins nest has touched a minor strain,
The old glad songs breathe but a sad refrain,
And laughter sobs with hidden bitter pain
Since she went home.
Since she went home
How still the empty rooms her presence bless
ed.
Untouched the pillows that her dear head
pressed
Ny lonely heart hath nowhere for its rest
Since she went home.
Since she went home
The long, long days have crept away like years,
The sunlight has been dimmed with doubts
and fears,
And the dark nights have rained in lonely
tears
Since she went home.

As she turned into the buster roads
she was forced to slacken pace, and the
hiudrance set her Tuning. She saw BIZ
cycles coming toward her, and through
the CHATTER of carts and feet she seemed
to hear the "swish'' of others following
her, but she dared not turn her head to
see if the one she dreaded was among
them.
After awhile, however, she left the
clatter of traffic behind her, and the re-
lief of the quiet was very great. In
time, though, she grew accustomed to
it, and as she sped on her ears or her
imagination became conscious of the
'tswish' of bicycle still following.
The pace at which she was going be-
gan to distress her. Her muscles seemed
to be contracting, her breath came pain
fully. She remembered that after the
level stretch came a sharp downward
slope, and after that hill, up which it
would be impossible for her to ride. She
was growing desperate. She dared not
face John, for she could not rely upon
her strength. She was angry, mortified.
resentful, but she loved John Castle.
and therein lay her vulnerability.
The "swish'' behind her sounded
nearer. She could not stop. In the hur
~ of her thoughts she determined to
keep up the race to the last possible
moment. There was little hope now of
escape, but it was the only course-and
anything might happen.
Then the slope began. 1t was steep
and rugged. The road, too, narrowed
gradually, and the slush was deeper.

brake. The cyclist behind seemed to be
using the same method. He was close
upon her now. coming swiftly as an
eagle.
As they neared the bottom Kate be-
came conscious that big black object
was looming down the opposite hill,
but she did not heed it. Anything may
happen, was the only thought she was
conscious of as she swerved close to the
hedge to allow the big thing to pass.
Next moment there came slip, crash
behind her, shout and a groan. She
lost her nerve and swerved over into the
hedge-and the race was overl
The shock half stunned her for some
seconds. Then she scrambled up and
looked back. A wagner was kneeling
beside man, who was lying very still
the man was John Castle
John Castle lay motionless at the bot
tom of the wagon on that slow journey
back, and Kate held his hand in an
agony of love and fear and remorse, not
daring to cry out, yet finding it almost
unbearable to keep silence.
Her heart was soft and humble
enough when she reached the home and
saw the mothers misery, and she told
her tale as gently as she could Only
when she turned to Leila did her bitter
ness rise again.

Frank Pierce. who has spent the sum-
mer at Juneau, is visiting with his sister
Mrs. A. R. Burt at Hoodsport. having re-
turned about two weeks ago.
The railroad surveyors are now canned
about three quarters of mile above
Hoodsport. There are nineteen men in
the camp, and they average about mile
and half day. A. L. Blackwood has
been division engineer thus far, but will
soon leave and A. S. Ruth of Olympia will
take his place, as he is better acquainted
wlth-the country between Hoodsport and
Olympia. The force, too, will soon be d.
vided, part continuing to make the pre-
llminary survey. while the rest will 90
back to more thoroughly locate the road.
z. A. Fitzhenry of Port Angeles and E. L.
Chalcratt, formerly superintendent of the
Puyallup Indian school are among the
chief men on the survey. 1t is uncertain
yet where they will cross the reservation
and the Skokomish river, as they will have
to thoroughly explore all practical ways,
but the probabilities seem to be that thew
will go along the foot hills on the back side
OF the reservation, cross the river above
the reservation. then come down the bot
tom SO as to go out up the Purdy canyon,
following quite nearly the old survey of the
Port Townsend Southern.
A couple of trappers and hunters are
camped near Hoodsport. In wanderings
in the Olympics they have found some
quartz rock which looks more like that
mined in Idaho and Montana, than any
we have yet seen, which has been obtained
from these mountains. The reddish color.
due to the presence of copper is entirely
absent. The assay-made in Portland, of
surface out-croppings.-is $372 in gold to
the ton with trace of silver. They be-
lieve that it must be much richer farther
down, and also that in time the Olympics
will yield great wealth from mining.
A recent report says that Capt D.
lroutman has gone to London, having
taken with him, as has at last been found
