Officers from Chehalis county are
searching for man named Harris
who abducted his 15-ycar-old niece,
Daisy Bonner. He is supposed to be
in this ncighborhood. He ran away
with her last summer. She is a beau
tiful girl, while he is an old man 60 or
60 years old. This man Harris lived
on the Wynoochie river near the snow
clad peaks of the Olympics, while the
Benner family were near neighbors,
Mrs. Benner being sister to Harris.
Last June he took the girl from her
home and put back in the mountains,

for carrying food to the father and

enjoyed higher reputation for faith
full and honest work in the Lords
vineyard. He was for many years
pastor of the First Presbyterian church
in this city. He was at one time a
member OF the upper branch of the
Territorial Legislature. He always
took an active part in political matters
bearing upon moral reform. He was
a man OF middle age, of Scotch de-
scent, and had been employed at the
time of enlistment several years as
pastor of the church at Aberdeen.

pursuing the same tactics to make an
easy living by the same barefaced
frauds. The County Attorney of Box

the particulars of his methods here,

Tn. Round Towers of Ireland

Hundreds Of years ago, as far back
a the sixth and not later than the
twelfth century, 1t was the custom in
Ireland and other Christian countries
to build tall narrow towers close to
many Of the churches. It Is not known
for certain why they we're erected, but
It Is supposed that, besides being used
for religious purposes, they afforded
shelter for priests and people in times
Of danger. After bells had been intro
duced they were sometimes hung In
these towers. The round towers were
mostly from eighty to q hundred feet
high, and usually crowned with q
peaked roof. They were lighted by
email windows, and the ascent from
story to story was made by means
of ladders. As q matter Of safety, the
door was placed at a considerable dis
lance from the ground. Above q hun
dred Of these towers, more or less per-
feet, are still to he found In various
parts Of Ireland.

FLArrERY OF PUBLIC MEN.
Lincoln STANDS Almost Alone ~ One
Not Affected By II

49, @"~~~NN - -
The London Spectator, In an inter-
esting discussion OF the dangers Of
1attery to public men, cites Abraham
Lincoln as an instance Of public man
whom fiattery could not affect It Is q
fact that there has seldom been an in
stance Of q public man who was less
tempted In this way than was Lincoln.
The people admired him and were 10y
ally true to him. They saw his great
ness sooner than did those in public
life. As regards the latter, Lincoln
was continually criticised and troubled
by them There was never one OF their
number to tell him that he was greater
than Washington. or even anywhere
approaching to the plane Of Washing
ton. He was continually found fault
with by his own party associates at
the capitol; not a few Of them were
inclined to refuse him a second term
In the presidency, and some Of them
intrigued to prevent his having this.
The saintlike patience with which Lin
coin bore up under this was q beauti-
full trait In his character. Something
made him very strong. Perhaps It was
not opposition, but certainly adulation
had no part In it-Boston Herald.
