IT WAS EVER THE CASE.
One Thing That Fills a Woman's
Heart with Absolute DESPAIR.

She came into the room where he
sat alone with n glittering knife in her
hand, which she held hidden amid the
folds Of her dress. Her face was
white and drawn and her eyes were
wild and haggard looking.
Her husband sat by the fire deep In
thought and never heard the slippered
footballs OF the beautiful woman, who
now stood beside his chair with q
strange, cold smile upon her lips.
Suddenly with q gasp she cast the
knife from her toward the glowing
Goals. but II sank silently into a sofa
at the other end OF the room.
Il cannot" she moaned YEARLY; II

And she fell into a white heap upon
the floor at his feet. A plying, ten

deep, tender. heavy-dragoon tones:

Butyshe spoke not a w0rd-she only

which, she clasped a lead pencil.

Dress Economy.

Il have made the subject OF how to
make clothes last a study" says a
society woman, land 1t is surprising
how much difference 1t makes how a
gown Is donned. 1t should be put on
slowly and carefully. A little pull or
jerk each time it is put on soon ruins
the best Of gowns.
Never use pins. They not only
tear the fabric, but are uncertain at
all times. Do not economic on dress
makers. II you cant afford good ma
terial and a good dressmaker also,
economize on the former. One dress
well made is better than half a dozen
poorly. made. In conclusion, buy as
good material rs you can. Have It
made by a good dressmaker, then take
plenty of time to get into 1t.
When you are in it, have respect
for the dress. Walk with a quiet. even
step: give 1t a good chance and 1t will
do something for you. Remember that
the best of gowns, like the garment
of righteousness, must be well worn"

Last Wednesday evening, Dec.
10th, 1902, at z o'clock, occurred
the wedding of Earl J. Michael,

Mabel Rowles, of Challis, Idaho.
The ceremonies were performed
by Rev. r. S. Nickerson, and
took place at the residence Of the
brides parents in Challis.
Only relatives of the bride and
groom and a very few of their
most intimate friends were pres

them.
The marriage ceremony, we

The bride is the oldest daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Don. Rowles
of Challis, and she has lived in
this town where she was born
nearly ali her time, aud has been
educated in our public school.
We have known her since a little
child. The bride in question is
one the most charming and ac-
Icomplished young ladies in the
county. She is a school teacher
and musician, and besides has
many other attainments which
go to make her a lovely young
lady.
The groom is the junior memb-
er of the mercantile firm of Mich
ael & Sargent. of Bayhorse, is
one of the most highly respected
young gentlmen in the county,
He has resided in Bayhorse fol
many years, and is one of the

young business men of Custer
county.
They received numerous costly
presents from relatives and
friends.
They departed for their home
in Bayhorse that evening after
the wedding, taking with them
the best wishes of their many
Challis friends.
The MESSENGER extends it,
