EOual to the Occasion.

People do not often make the mis-
take Of giving too much. A certain
woman who not long ago entered a
Glasgow church was an exception to
the rule-at least she thought So She
passed the collection box at the door
and dropped in sixpence. Then she
took her seat In the church and waited
until the preacher appeared.
To her disappointment the officiat-
ing minister was not the DR.. H. whom
she had come to hear. On inquiry she
found that she had entered the wrong
church. 1t was not yet too late to hear
the preacher Of her choice, but the six
pence was another matter. To leave
1t in the box would be clear loss. The
woman was equal to the occasion.
Slowly descending the gallery stairs.
she requested her sixpence back and
received it from the officiating elder

BROUGHT BACK OLD TIMES.
A Tidbit That Was Not on the Res
taurant Bill of Fare.


The force of childhood recollections
and the truth of the quotation, "A
touch of nature makes the whole world
akin" were shown graphically by
LITTLE incident in a restaurant the 9th
err day. A quiet looking, middle aged
man of prosperous appearance was
eating his dinner when another wen
dressed man took a seat opposite him.
After giving his order in bluff. genial
manner the newcomer took sip OF
water and faced around. Suddenly
queer expression came over his face
as he watched attentively the actions
Of his vis-a-vis, and apparently with
out realizing what he was doing ne
blurted out in a loud tone, well. well,
well"'
Every one at the table, including the
quiet looking man, started, ana the
others, observing the direction OF the
speakers gaze, turned their eyes also
upon him Of the quiet appearance TO
see what had caused the exclamation.
The man who had come in first was
in the act Of spreading sugar over
slice of buttered bread, and when he
realized that all eyes were turned upon
him he blushed like one detected In
heinous crime and almost fell off his
chair. 1t took him a minute or two to
recover. and then he said to the table
In general:
81 used to get bread and butter and
sugar for being good when was
child, and eating it is habit which
like to indulge in even yet. l know 1t
isn't upon the restaurant bill of fare.
but couldn't resist the temptation"
81 must beg your pardon for my rude
exclamation" replied the other man.
"My mother used to put bread and
butter and sugar in my lunchbox when
l went to school as an S-yearold up in
the country town where was raised.
and l haven't eaten any since my
childhood. and ! guess III join you in
a piece now for the sake of old times"
And he did.-Bangor Wing.

His Capacity Had Limits.

An old farmer who was in the habit
OF eating what was set before him,
asking no questions, dropped into a
Memphis cafe for dinner. The waiter
gave him the menu card and explained
to the old gentleman that it was the
list of dishes the cafe served for din
ner that day. Accordingly he began
at the top Of the bill of fare and or
dered each thing In turn until he had
covered about one-third Of It, The
prospect Of what was still before him
was too overpowering. yet there were
some things at the end that he want
ed to try, He called the waiter and,
confidently marking OF the spaces on
the card with bis index finger, said,

A gentleman who took quite

paign last fall and who is sup
posed to be on the inside in the

stated that Governor Hunt was
preparing proclamation abol-
ishing martial law in the Ceur
d'Alenes and that it would be
made public in a short time 1T
would not be surprising" he
said, IF it were promulgated to-
morrow" Proceeding, he said
it was his understanding that the
governor in his proclamation
would recite some facts leading
up to the issuance of the procla-
nation of Governor Steunenberg
declaring Shoshone county to be
in state of insurrection and
placing the county under martial
law.
The present condition of af-
fairs there, as respecting peace,
would, he said, be set forth at
length, with a statement that the
facts given were based on per-
sonal investigation made by the
states chief executive during his
recent northern visit.
A representative of the States
man called on Governor Hunt
yesterday but could secure no
verification of the story. The
reporter related that it was being
repeated that martial law was to
be abolished at once. The gov
ernor said he had nothing to say

Inc examiner mas lOr some
time read with pleasure and profit
the writings of t. Shelley Sut-
ton, Boise's young poet. Re
Gently Mr.. Sutton has branched
out into prose writing and his
article entitled "Remorse," in
last Fridays Capital News, is
one of the finest things we have
read anywhere. In fact there is
so much of merit in il that it has
been copied into a great many of
the large papers of the west, and,
no doubt, will go the rounds in
the eastern metropolitan papers.
The Rocky Mountain News cop
les the article and embellishes it
with a mammoth etching, repre-
senting a convicted felon in a
cell, where he is all alone with
his conscience. Although safe
from further pursuit by the min
ions of the law, he is represent
ed as suffering untold agony at
the hands of his conscience. The
etching strikingly represents the
article which accompanies it.
AS Mr.. Sutton is an Idaho boy
the Examiner takes more than a
passing interest in his efforts.
Below we copy his article in full;
Remorse and fear are the in
visible sleuths of justice, and
when the sleuths of law-eluded
have surrendered to defeat
when the despairing Nemesis of
justice has lost the last footprint
and ceased to haunt the trail
when all of earth has abandoned
the futile search and crime is
sequestered in its safety retreats
then, detailed by the divine
Detective, fear and remorse fall
forward upon the fugitive and
follow at his heels to the bitter
end. They draw from the Grim
inal's lips the confession that is
essential to his conviction; and
the chain of circumstantial evil
dence made insufficient by its
missing links, is strengthened
and completed by his own utter
ances. To do this. the detectives,
Remorse and Fear. confine their
victim in veritable ''sweat box
of agony and open in his heart
the eternal flames of Tophet.
They loosen upon his hot brain
the tigers of haunting memory
and pour on his soaring soul the
vitriol of hells torment. Through
the long hours of his broken and
restless slumber they cuddle and
coil, and wr;the and twist, like
oily serpents, into the darkes'
recesses of his dreams. He
rembles, and the veins of his
flesh grow knotted; his temples
ache, and his tongue grows
parched and powerless; his
bloodshot eyes bulge outward
from their sockets. Standing in
the deep silence OF midnight ne
trembles at the sound of-noth
ing; in the din and traffic of the
crowded thoroughfare he reaches
for his pistol when confronted
by the terrible form of-nothing;
waking from his miserable slum'
Der he shudders when looking
into the horrible face above him
the threatening visage Of
nothing. Always invariably

when a stranger looks wander
