When Lafayette visited this country

it beheld the friend of Washington.

eral may have suspected, but he pro-

the eagle with a sharp needle to in

LaIique Lives Today.

From the New York Press:
The term "lalique" is derived from
famous goldsmith Of the Louis XIV
reign. His name was Jean Lalioue
and he was the maker of the
court jewel that hangs in
place, and after this creation he set
a single pearl on a chain that hung
from out of the collar. This pearl was
presented to Louise de le Valliere. the
favorite Of the king, and was named in
her honor. Hence the "lavalliere," a
style that had an unprecedented run
few years ago. The few jewels now in
existence that were made by the mas
ter hand of Lalique are worth large
sums.

A Verv Suspicious Man.

From the New York Times:
Alfred Henry Lewis was discussing
politics and politicians when the name
Of Tammany man of some prominence
was mentioned
'Mr. Blank is too suspicious" said
Mr. Lewis. "He thinks every one is
trying to injure him. He is as sus-
picious as George Biddle's dog"
And how about the dog?" asked a
listener who expected a story.
"Oh, the log,'' said Mr.. Lewis, twas
so suspicious that he went through life
sideways for fear some one would kick
him.

The Chicago Chronicle, which en-

Cummins ten years ago, in which he
wrote in favor of free silver and de-
clared that gold alone as the standard

Mr.. Cummins was mistaken about
silver in 1898, the inference is that
he might be mistaken in 1903 about

Thss Starry. Skies.

Edmund Burke
The starry heaven, though it occurs so
very frequently to our view, never
rails to excite an idea Of grandeur
This cannot be owing to anything in
the stars themselves, separately consid-
cred. The number is certainly the
cause. The apparent disorder augments
the grandeur, for the appearance of
care is highly contrary to our ideas of
magnificence. Besides, the stars lie in
such apparent confusion as makes it
impossible on ordinary occasions to
reckon them. This gives them the ad-
vantage of a sort of infinity.

From the Philadelphia Record
A bolt of lightning put an end to a
pathetic romance. Three months ago
Mrs. Annie Metzgus, SO years old, came
to this country from England. She
left her aged husband behind, because
there was not money enough to bring
both, and she was the breadwinner.
Since coming to Mount Carmel, Pa,
she has worked unremittingly to earn
money to bring the old man to America.
She had almost secured the necessary

Of speedy reunion to her husband.
She was picking huckleberries to COM

TWO SALOON MEN KILLED.
At the New Town Of Trout Creek,
Montana.

Missoula, Mont, Oct. 6.-At Trout
Creek, the new town off the main line
of the Northern Pacific, Frank Udell,
a bartender, has been killed, and
George w. Ragsdale, saloon proprie-
tor, dangerously wounded, as result
of two men shooting into Ragsdale's
saloon at Q o'clock a. m. Both men
were brought to hospital here, .Udell
dying from his wounds this afternoon.
Ragsdale says he had trouble with
a rancher, who drove his horses into
the saloon about midnight. He fought
with the rancher and threw him out
of doors. The rancher went away
with the remark: Don't want trouble
tonight, but surely will get you"
An hour later two men were seen to
come up to the place on horseback
and open up fusilade upon the sa-
loon. The first volley shattered all
the bottles on the bar and struck
Ragsdale in the arm. He started for
his revolver behind the bar and a
second bullet struck him in the knee,
shattering it. Udell was asleep in a
back room, and a bullet struck him
in the hip and ranged down to the
knee. He died from loss of blood and
shock.
