Editor Press:
II IS lonesome thing to be watching
the dead on dark, dismal night and
RoI,Ody talking to you. This time ten
years ago, Tim Dooley lived at Wolf
Lodge He had a handsome and well
tempered slip of daughter as you
would meet In days walk. Mike Smith
was very fond Of her and we all thought
II would be a match. Poor Nora
died of a decline. and we carried her
very mOnrnfully to the grave near Fort
Sherman. The doctors who attended
her wished very much TO have the body
for dissection. So TO prevent them,
Dan Mcclure, Jerry Corcoran, Mike
Smith, Dan Mooney. Martin Meeban,
my self and three or four more stout
fellows stayed up whole week watch
ing the little graveyard. They were al
most dead for want of their natural rest
So myself, like an "OmadhOn," undertook
the business. This night above all
nights Of the year was as dark and as
dismal night as ever came down from
the heavens. ButtoniDg my coat tight
about me, sat down upon one Of the
graves and began 10 hum tune for
want of company. listened TO the
moaning of the wind among the trees,
and it sounded as II giant was sneez-
ing. / thought that every corpse In the
grave yard had started up from their
graves, snatching up their shin bones
shank bones, thigh bones, shoulder
blade bones and every bone they could
snatch up and their scramble as if they
were going 10 fight an enemy. After
that fell fast asleep and dreamt the
following dream:
/ heard voice in dismal tone say
ing, There is but one" We'll duck
him in the lake" said another. mo
Wen take him up on Garfield noun
tain and make a foot ball of him Il

like the devil in gale of wind to the
mountain where l was thumpt anC
bumpt and rolled about as If was 4
foot ball, and l thought their sharp toe
would go through me. Then they began

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civil
lized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for indigestion or biliousneSs.
Doctors were scarce, and they seldom
heard of appendicitis, nervous prostra-
ton or heart failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the system
and stop fermentation of undigested
food, regulate the action of the liver,

R.fu.,a III. Crown Of spain.

The remarkable romance Of Elise
HensleF, the Boston girl. who married
King Ferdinand Of Portugal, IL recalled
by Mabel Percy Haskell, in the March
Ladies' Home journal. Ather marriage
Miss Hensler was created the Countess
Of Edla, and with her royal husband
took up her home in the beautiful Pal
ace Of Cintra. "IIad she wished 1t the
Countess Of Edla might have been Queen
OF Spalp, for King Ferdinand declined
the crown OF Spain In 1869, soon after
his marriage to the beautiful American
girl. 1t was offered to him BY General
Pim and General serrano, and both the
King ard his lovely wife declined that
their quiet life so free from cares Of
state was infinitely TO be preferred TO
the worry and fret Of great European
court. Ferdinand died in 1885, and
since then the countess has lived in re-
tirement in the Palace of Cintra. She
is visited by members Of the present
royal family and is greatly beloved by
them, for they never can forget how
fine and good was her gentle influence
over the king. and they shared his ad-
miration for her. She Is treated as II
she had been born TO the purple instead
of far across the sea-

The friends Of George IiietsehuSter,
OF Carlin bay, are fearful that he has
found watery grave. Mr.. Rietschus-
ter arrived here from Fairfield, Wash.
over two weeks ago with his team, hop

Not succeeding Ia securing work, he
aext endeavOred to employ steamboat

his place at CariiD bay, but AS there was
80 much Ice in that bay, this idea had to
be abandoned also Two weeks ago Wed
nesday he left his team 10 COoper's sta
BILE, saying he would send or return for
them in two or three days. lie told a
friend just before leaving that he would
go on the ice by way of Wolf Lodge,
cross to the south side and proceed TO
his home in that roundabout way,
and he has not been seen or heard OF
since. Nothing was thought of the at
fair until this week when a neighbOr Of
his came to town and reported that be
had not been home. lie WAS 4 sober,
industrious man and thoroughly relia-
bile. He had worked during the winter
for Dan Cameron. Of Harrison, and
when he left for Fairfield 10 purchase a
team which he brought here he was sup
posed to have about $500. II he had
had any intention of leaving :his part
of the country he surely would have
left when he bad the money instead OF
purchasing the horses, consequently the
only theory for his not returning is that
he must have gone through the ice.

'scourt the government of others" He is bound to
realize his incompetence, and in course of time
to become thoroughly sick of himself his moods and
his method of living. He knows what is right what
good is-for that knowledge is inherent in all men
and yet he is too weak negligent to strive for it.
It requires effort to do what is right therefore
he will do wrong, and should he become involved in
the law by SO doing, he thinks the subsequent
change in his method of living may be in the nature
of relief to him. At any rate it will give him
something to look forward to. A queer system of
philosophy, this, but perhaps not an unusual one.
Life is pretty serious business and few men
slide through it without trouble of one sort OF
another It is long fight, but there is JOY in the
fighting that comes of nothing else. And the man
who will permit himself to be slave to caprice
had better put end to the whole business at
by jumping off some bridge, for then he at
least have the satisfaction Of dying while fighting
for life But if our veins still contain one drop of
the old fighting blood, it is duty to go play
ing the game to the very end; playing it for all
there is in it, and making each failure to score but
stepping stone to some future success and when
the time comes to quit we will have the knowledge
that we did our best to win, even if the score be
against us. tt@.f

A FEW WORDS ABOUT KNOCKERS.

WILLIAM MARION REEDY takes the stand in
defense Of knocking and knockers in the June
Philistine. He says knockers are necessary that
their influence is stimulating and that 'the fellow
who knocks you hardest is your best friend He
seems to look upon all the ilk as blessings in dis
guise and concludes WITH Damned be he who first
cries. Hold, enoughr"
In our humble and pottering way we beg to
differ with Mr.. Reedy. Perhaps we interpret the
term, Knocking" differently. The man who cor
reefs wrongs and fights against abuses is not
knocker; he is public benefactor. And so is the
one who chides inteligently at the proper time.
But the genuine knocker is bad medicine, just plain
bad His conception of life is to mind other people
business and 60 about throwing mud in the hope
that of it will stick His chief object in living
appears to be to Say disagreeable things of his
fellow creatures, and he will tear womans reputa-
ton to shreds as readily as mans He knows not
decency or honor. The knocker is usually liar,
and therefore cannot be forestaled It is impossible
to defend oneself against liar, for you can't tell
where he will strike Perhaps he is necessary
evil but SO are lots of other unwholesome and un-
pleasant things that the wise man will let alone.
We fail to see the stimulating influence of the
knocker. If the person knocked is any good, kind
ness and encouragement will be found quite as
effective abuse, and the man who works because
people saying disagreeable things about him is
doing his work for applause and not for the pleasure
of work we'll done 1t is not necessary to go through
life with soft soap and brush to lay it on with,
neither is it necessary to be knocker If you don't
like man, pass him up and let it 60 at that but
don't go out of your way to besmirch him or his
character

STORYETTES.
Origin OF the Piano.

The pianoforte was invented
by Bartolommeo Cristofori, a
harpsichord maker of Padua, Italy,
who exhibited four instruments
in l709. The honor was formally
claimed for Marius, a French
maker, who produced a piano in
l7l6, while German writer's main
tanned that Schroeder of Dresden
was the initiator of the instru-
ment. The earliest date ascribed
to the latter's achievement, how
ever, is I'LL. During the present
century, however, an italian docu-
ment was discovered, written by
Marchese Scipione Maffer, a
Florentine scholar, in I'LL, which
testifies that Bartolommeo Cristori
of that city exhibited four pianos
in 1909, which statement was
originally published in the Giornale
in that year, accompanied by a
diagram of Cristofori's action
principle, employing hammers,
which constituted the chief
difference between the harpsichord
and the piano. In Maffer's writ
ings Cristofori's name is given as
"Cristofali,' but this is proved to
be an error, because inscriptions
upon existing pianofortes gives
the name as "Cristofori." Father
Wood, an English monk, living al
Rome, is also said to have made q
pianoforte similar to Cristofori's
in I'LL, which he exhibited in
England, where it attracted much
notice.
Cristofori did not remain idle
after introducing his first instru-
ment. He became prominently
known as a maker, but died in
1871, comparatively poor. Two
pianofortes by Cristofori, at pres
ent in Florence, dated 172O and
1928, show that he anticipated the
principles of an improved action.
and many other points of equal
Importance in the structure and
acoustics Of the instrument. All
authorities admit that he was a
great figure and a genius of no
common order. Popular Science
