w. N. ROACH DEAD.
Former United States Senator from
North Dakota n Victim of Cancer.

NEW YORK, Sept. 7.--William Nathaniel
Roach, who was United States senator
from North Dakota from 1893 to 1899. died
here to-day. He had been Ill from cancer
almost from his coming to this city, where
he had made his home after retiring from
the Senate. Under special treatment here
he progressed favorably and about month
ago 1t was announced that he was out Of
danger. He suffered a relapse, however
and died after having been confined to his
bed for ten months. IDterment will be in
Washington.
The funeral arrangements will be made
tomorrow. An effort will be made to have
members of senatorial committee who
served with Senator Roach attend.

and were fixing to go to bed. Suddenly
they discovered in some way that
there was man in the room. He was
under the bed, too. They jumped into
bed, and quickly decided that they
would call to their old maid aunt, who
was in the next room. One of them
called out to her that the other had
been taken Suddenly sick and needed
medicine at once.
The aunt rushed into the room. She
had scarcely closed the door when one
of the frightened girls cried out to her
that there was a man under the bed.
She forgot her nerve and simply few
over into the center of the bed, and
seemed to be as badly frightened as
the girls. No doubt she was. She was
game enough, ordinarily, but when it
came TO the man under the bed, that
creature who is universally dreaded
by women, well, this was one thing
even the game and good aunt could
not face. The miscreant finally left
his hiding place and fed. The moral
of this yarn is that there is limit to
the bravery of even the most daring of
old maids, and the same is reached
when a man hideth under the bed.

Under n nsd.

In a thriving town in Mississippi
lives an old maid who is looked upon by
her neighbOrs as a veritable fire-eater.
Some say she is absolutely without the
feeling of fear under any circum-
stances. Stories of her exploits and her
daring are a part of the community
history, and are frequently repeated
to the timid with the hope of stimu-
lating their courage and to negative
the idea of becoming frightened at
the mere hobgobblins of life. She is an
aunt to two girls and they look upon
her as the incarnation of fre-eating
fearlessness. They had retired to
their room one night few weeks ago
