at the home of all their relatives, and
then, not finding them, the parties
searched further. They scarcely
thought that the children could have
been venturesome enough to go to the
woods. but there was really no telling
what they would do.
Finally the searching party found a
mitten dropped by Roland at the
fence which led into the woods, and
with this clew they started on their
search in the cold, wet forest.
1t was 6 o'clock when Roland's IA
ther found his muf1ler, filled with VIC
lets. and this cheered them on. AT
9 they came across the children,
nestled snugly against the roots of a
big tree, both fast asleep.
The next day Roland went back to
school a changed boy. He realized
how much trouble he had made his
father and all his friends and deter,
mined to do better. Mamie took her
share of the blame, too, and for a
while at least no one would have rec
ognized the studious boy who stood al

r RICANS HAPPY.

An American gentleman now in Por-

the attitude of the people of the island
toward the Foraker bill:
The people here, irrespective of cast
or condition, hail the passage of the
Foraker bill with the greatest delight,
n are 0 beginning to prepare for
a revival of business and good old
times.
There seems to have been a very
grave Misrepresentation of facts made
liz the United States concerning the
wants of the natives and business men

free trade is wanted here. on the con
trary the merchants (99 out of every
1000 want a small tariff in preference,
and in fact did not at any time object
to the rs per cent first talked Of. They
are bright enough to prefer a small in
direct tax to a heavy direct form %
taxation, to raise the revenue neces-
Sary 10 nut the government OF the
island. About the only mes desiring
the benefit of free trade are a few for
eigners like Mr.. Finlay, the British
consul at San Juan, who have b.ught
up all the sugar and tobacco in s'gEt
at a low figure, and have been hold g
the same in anticipation of a free en-
try to the states, thereby enabling
them to realize more largely on their
investment.
II nave talked to many sugar plant
ers and merchants, from all parts of
the island, and what | state to y-u is a
fact beyond dispute.
The general misfortune which has
befallen the island since the hurricane,
has been the delay caused by congress
on continuing a military government,
and a greater curse. the issuance of ra-
tions, both of which I trust will soOn

take them back.

where we had our picnic last summer.
We can start in the morning before 8
and get back by 4 o'clock. They won't
say anything to us at home when we
bring them all the violets."
The next morning saw a guilty little
pair scudding along the paths which
led out of the village and trying to
avoid observation by climbing the tall
fences and walking the other side of
the bare hedges.
1t seemed so good to be out in the
air once more. Roland enjoyed it
thoroughly, and Mamie liked it as well
as her guilty conscience would per-
NIT.
They were the leaders in all the
pranks in school, these two children,

question was always asked, Did Ro-

LIFE IN A BOARDING-HOUSE.
Ten Years of the Table Talk Likely to
Cause Insanity.

A recent writer on woman's occu-
pations accounts for the .permanence
of the clearinghouse as a social in
%stitution by a reference to this power
full impulse to the human breast: "In
a clearinghouse" says she, you can
obtain a mustard plaster and a cup of
palatable cruel and a warm iron for
taking a spot out of a velvet gown.
All these things are dear to a board
err" They create "a home feeling which
the hungry heart of the hotel dweller
misses" This is true, but it is not
whole truth, and it is unfair to the
boarder, says the New York CONNER
cial Advertiser. Deservedly priced as
are the mustard plaster and the warm
iron, they are not only, or eve the
main, things that give the boarder that
home-like glow. 1t is the conversation
Of the clearinghouse table that holds
him and thrills him and keeps his feel
tngs young and home-like. One should
not overlook the spiritual side. Never
a meal without its cheerful greeting
and kindly weather talk. Not even il
he would could he be left out of those
genial discussions beginning with:
See by the paper we're going to have
SNOW" No one ever feels neglected in
a clearinghouse. No one ever has
any hungry-hearted hotel lonesome
ness about him there. II he detects
any GOODNESS in the social atmosphere
let him remove at once to one of those
establishments whose landladies ad-
vertise that they and the guests are all
one family. In these the home feel
ings at times fairly run riot in the
veins. They are no mere product of
mustard plasters and flatirons, but the
result Of a great, warm, miscellaneous
intimacy on the part of the people who
might otherwise have lodged one an
other had they ever met at all. 1t Is
an intimacy ordained by chance, but
1t is as thick as that of twins and as
voluble and unacceptable as the inter-
course of a crate of chickens on their
way to market. The social ties that
lash souls together at a clearinghouse
table draw more powerfully than any
mustard plaster and leave more lasting
ehects. Sometimes for good, but some
times for evil, it must be said. They
say a delicate brain is apt to break
down after ten years or so of boarding
Just from the dripping on 1t of contin-
ued table talk. Like every other good
thing, 1t can be o%verdone.

MONDAY. MAY II. 1900.

1t is an old saying that corporations
have no souls, but it is also true that
those in charge of some corporations
have tender hearts and natures that
are warmed by noble impulses. Lara
mie has a case in point. The dcs,ruc-
ton of the Union Pacific oil house was
an unavoidable casualty. The company
pays its full share of taXcs-city, coun.
ty and state-and is therefore entitled
to the same protection accorded indi-
vidual property owners 1t is not IL
able for loss sustained by accident any
more than any other property owuer
and therefore the action Of the Union
Pacific in paying for the loss Of lime
of the firemen injured in the oil-hUus,
accident was a pure piece Of phIian,
thropy. 1t shows that the hearts OF
Superintendent Harris and Assistant
Superintendent Hay are responsive &c
the calls of humanity and that they
are men among men.

mont county ten years ago and SEN
fenced to serve a life term in the state
~penitentiary, has been pardoned by
Governor Richards. Some Of the most
prominent citizens in the state inter-
ested themselves in Montgomery's be-
half and before he died, Judge Coma
way wrote a letter recommending the
pardon. Every member Of the jury
which convicted him, signed the petit
ton as did the most prominent citizens
of Fremont county.
Montgomery was convicted on pure
ly circumstantial evidence. He was
travelling across the country in com
pany with three men, one a young man
Of % years Of age. This young man
stole some money from Montgomery
and skipped in the night. Montgomery
went after him and returned in a few
days without him.
The young man was afterwards found
dead and Montgomery was arrested.
He said that he caught the thief after
dark and that he got away again. He
shot at him to frighten him and killed
him.
Montgomery bore an excellent repu-
