gave an "Anglo- Australian" tea at the OPP
era house last Wednesday afternoon and
evening. A most appetlzlnS supper was
supplied to those who attended and the
number was large. A program CON
sisting of music and declamations was
rendered during the evening and Hea-
toms orchestra enlivened the affair by
its stirring music. While it was
church social, it was what might be
termed quite social event for every
body was there. Later in the night,
the ladies' guarnished the banquet for
the Chapter Masons, who held lodge
that night. The supper netteds over one
hundred dollars, but it served purpose
besides the raising of money. 1t created
social revival SO to speak, and made
people feel more acquainted. Do 1t some
more.

out few hours, returned verdict
against the will, but the Court promptly
set the verdict aside, and entered judg-
ment sustaining the will. The case Will
be appealed to the Court OF Appeals.
The case of Payne VS.. Martin resulted in
judgment for the defendant for

Smith resulted in Il judgment for plain

ters were taken under advisement or else

down like the dog he is. You robbed
us of our treasure, did you? And you
sneaked away at night into the cover
of the jungle, and left us to die or to
be mutilated by those brutes of Chi
nese. But We've run you down at last,
and now when l get hold of you, by
God, I'll tear your eyes and your

two men you robbed and betrayed.

I've prayed on my Bonded knees for
this moment, and now it's come

At this moment we entered the
room to find Hayle standing with his
back to the window that opened into
the balcony, which in it's turn over
looked the somewhat steep slope
that led to the cliff and the sea.
Codd was on the left of the center
table, revolver in his hand, and q
look upon his face that I had never
seen before. On the other side Of
the table was Kitwater, with long
knife in his hand. He was leaning
forward in crouching position, as
ii he were preparing for spring.
On hearing our steps, however, he
turned his sightless face towards us.
1t was Hayle, however. who seemed
the most surprised. He stared at me

"Put up that revolver, Codd," I
cried. "And you, Kitwater, drop
that knife. Hayle. my man, it's all
up. The game is over, so you may as
well give in"
LGglosse was about to advance
upon him, warrant in one hand and
manacles in. the other.
What does this mean?" cried
Hayle.
His voice located him, and before
we could either of us stop him, Kit
water had sprung forward and
clutched him in his arms. Of what
followed next I scarcely like to
think, even now. In cannoning with
Hayle he had dropped his knife, and
now the two stood while man
could have counted three, locked to-
gether in deadly embrace. Then en-

Many people are apparently disturbed
over the possibility that the marked move
ment in the consideration of city banks may
spread to the country and finally result in
the establishment in rural districts of a sys-
tenn of branch banking.
Only slight analysis of the situation is
necessary to enforce the conclusion that
such fear is without foundation 1t is
against the temper of the American people,
and it is wholly improbable that the legisla-
ton necessary to legalize branch banking in
the United States can be obtained. Why?
Because under branch banking the nro6ts

 WAS A GOOD RAIN-Sunday nights rain was a good one, in fact the best one that has visited the valley for a month oi Sundays, though in this city less water fell than on the morning be- fore. But the rain extended over a larger area, and in some places it all most amounted to cloudburst In the vicinity of Kyrene it is said the land was covered with water a foot deep, and good part of A.

 HIS SORE DAY-J. l.. Carder who was so seriously hurt at Lime Creek by being dragged by a horse and an account of which was published yes terday, was considerably better yester- terday, though not resting as well. To be more explicit, the same old sore spots are just as sore, and he had gained sufficient self possession and control of his nervous system yester- day to discover that several dozen other places on his body that he had previously overlooked, were getting sore. Possibly they had been sore all the time, but he didn't know it. for he was busy getting his ribs and thumb in place again. It is now definitely known that he suffered no internal in- jury, so he feels pretty good in the Knowledge that soreness, while uncom- fortable, will eventually get tired of its job and go away.

The prism, unlike all other lenses used for the eye, has no curves ground upon either side, simply two flat surfaces az different angles. It is used for correc- tion of insufficiencies, or removal of strain upon some of the five ocular muscles which control the action of the eye ball, and has only the quality of seemingly changing the position of an object viewed through it.
 This is the last of our series of six lens talks. in which we have described all lenses used in eye glasses or spec tacles.

WATCH FOR A CHILL,

However slight at this time of year and in this climate, it is the forerun- ner of malaria. A disposition to yawn. and an all tired out feeling even comes before the chill.
