Funston is still exercising his
vocal powers in regard to the Phil
ippines. sStrenousness seems not
to be confined to- the occupant Of
the White House alone.
w. Bourke Cochran, who has
just returned from trip to Rome,
Egypt and London, said that, in
his opinion, if the Beers will make
an oral confession Of defeat, the
English will pay them almost any
sum to restore their destroyed
homes and repair the ravages Of
war. In other words England is
ready and anxious to pay a large
amount of money to bring about
peace in South Africa.
A stampede, whether it be OF
human beings or dumb brutes,
amounts to about the same thing
in the end. The awful crush of
factory girls at Philadelphia few
days ago only emphasizes the fact
that terrified human beings lose
all semblance of sanity when cry
of ''ire" is raised in crowded ten
ements or factories. In. this case
no fire existed but the result was
probably as disastrous as If there
had been.
Senator Henry Heitfeld of Ida
no made good, strong speech in
the senate recently in favor of the
Chinese exclusion bill. The sena-
tor, who is farmer, is always the
friend of labor, and If we had
more such noble men in the, senate
of the United States the condition
of labor in this country would be
much better than it is today under
trust rule and its accompanying
political corruption. Mr.. Heitfeld
is an honor to the state of Idaho.

1t is to be deplored that mis-

Several of these disappointed pill
grims have been in Rathdrum the
past week seeking s. and 81 pei
day jobs that looked so enticine
on paper. Their story is that they
left employment in the east at !;
rate of wage much below wha
was represented to be the rate on
here. A fruitless search for worl
from the Pacific coast this far cas-
has convinced those who wer.
here, at least, that only.skillcd la

prices so alluring to them.

ACCORDING TO
SCRIPTURE
By 6. HOMER HENLEY.

CAND.
y Everywhere dazzling, whi5e and
glaring hot sand, smoothly level for
little distances, then billowing softly
in breast-like mounds. But always
the same binding white stretch; no
cactus, no bunch-grass-just sand.
And a brassy-blue sky-ring with
setting of copper sun, blazing infer
nally.
The American spoke first.
"Well, you've got me dead to rights
out here. What are you going TO 90
about it 90
The Mexican's only reply was to
point silently ahead. His big jaw
was set immovably and his heavy
eyeIids dropped over gaze colder
than ice. His companion watched
him furtively in growing apprehen-
sion.
Since dawn they had ridden over
maddening miles of this interminable
desert, without the exchange of
single word. The Americans pride
of race in not 'knuckling" to dirty
"Greaser'' by speaking first had been
gradually but inexorably borne down
in part by the terrifying stiffness
and monotony of this blistered
waste, but much more by the I'M
natural silence and immobility main
tanned by the other. He had always
reckoned himself a fairly brave man,
but the uncanniness of the whole
situation was getting upon his
nerves.
What fool he had been to ride
out, absolutely unarmed, into TINS
pale sea with this granite-faced devil.
He felt, savagely, that he would give
all he possessed to mash that grim
mouth, to crush the light from those
narrow, steely eyes. Presently he be-
gan to speak rapidly, thickly, as one
hurried on by an uncomfortable
something apart from himself.
Look here, now, / blame you
I know that kept after the girl I'M
til she gave in to me. But how was
I going to know that she would kill
herself because / had to go away?
OF course, 1 knew you loved her, but
I didn't see any reason for that
stopping me. Oh, know you'd have
married her where / couldn't; but
that's just the point, couldn't. I'm
engaged to a girl up in Nevada, and
az my prospects depend upon my
marrying her; SO you see how was
placed, don't you?'
The Mexican gave no sign that he
had heard. His left hand, holding the
thin reins that ran to the detected
mouth of the weary mustang, rested
on the high pommel of the "buck'
saddle; and his right hand clasped,

ICAN'S EYES.

with quiet significance, the butt OF
the heavy revolver in it's stamped
leather holster. Not muscle of his
face relaxed it's fixed strain. 1t made
the Americans jaws ache to look at
him.
He waited mechanically for the
answer he knew would not come;
then burst out again in frenzied eff
fort to batter down the stony ram
parts of the others deadly silence.
You hound, you! You'd have done
the same thing in my place. You'd
have done worse if you could. Why
don't you say something, you dirty
Greaser dog? You're a filthy cow
ard! Get down off that horse and
fight me like a man. No, of course
you won't. Ugh. What a beautiful
fool | was to think that you would
help me to get away from her rela-
tives. You would show me a safe
way across the desert and over the
frontier WOULD you? Yes, you would
Yah! You dog, you! What L want to
nnow, is what are you going to do
with me? Answer me that. Answer
me. What are you going to do with
me? Hey? Say something, can't
you! Say something
His voice had climaXed to a furi-
Gus yell; but now he fell quiet sud
denly, watching with fascinated eyes
the phlegmatic mask of the utterly
unmoved Mexican. His burst of rage
had been but a sorry cloak for the
cold terror that was clutching at his
heart. He realized this with increas-
ING alarm; and worse-he knew that
the Mexican knew it. In spite of the
terrific heat his face and hands were
clammy cold, and he shivered fitfully.
They rode on through the long
afternoon in clammy silence that
was unbroken save for the muf-
fed shutting of the mustangs
feet on the pillowy sand. The
American had fallen into a dull APP
athy, and rode like a sick man, his
head dropping lollingly upon his
breast. The Mexican did not change
his attitude by so much as a hair:
riding erect and elastic, his face-a
stone, and his eyes-ice.
Presently the sun dropped abrupt
ly over the far edge of the sand

Latest Theory About Drowning.

The latest theory in connection with
drowning is that no water enters the

Died.

SPECHT.-At the residence of Mrs.
Brison WEIGH, McHenry, on Tuesday
morning at O'Clock, after an illness
Of two weeks, Samuel P. Specht, who
was born in Somerset county, Pa, on
Jan. 9th, 1914, and was therefore in
his seth year. The deceased was a
resident of Garrett county for more
than half century and leaves many
descendants, among them being six
daughters and one son by his first
wife and one son by his second wife.
The daughters are Mrs. A. S. Sell, of
Thomas; Mrs. Jacob Mosser, of Acct
dent; Mrs. Geo. Fulmer, of Oakland;
Mrs. Frank Suter, of Hoyes; Mrs.
Brison WEIGH and Mrs. David Fraker,
of McHenry; Mr.. Samuel P. Specht,
of Deer Park, and Jacob Specht, of
Loysburg, Pa, are his sons.
The deceased led most active life
up to the time of the illness which
terminated in his death, being en-
gagged principally in mercantile pur-
suits. He was universally respected
and by his demise another old pioneer
of the Alleganies is removed.
His funeral takes place this morn
ing at 10 o'clock. The services will
be held in the McHenry church and
the interment will be made at Hoyes
in the family burying ground. All
his daughters and both sons are now
at McHenry.
