TOO LATE.

IT'S a wearisome world-this world
of ours
With its tangles small and great,
Irs weeds that smother the spring
ing flowers
And IFS hapless strifes with fate;
And the darkest day of its desolate
days
Sees the help that comes too late.
All, woe for the word that is never
said
Till the ear is deaf to hear;
And woe for the lack Of the fainting
heart
OF the ringing shout of cheer;
An, woe for the laggard feet that
tread
In the mournful wake of the bier
What booteth help, when the heart is
numb?
What booteth broken spar
OF love thrown out when the lips are
dumb
And life's bar drifteth afar.
O. far and fast from the alien past,
Over the moaning barr
A pitiful thing, the GIFT of today
That is dross and nothing worth.
Though if 1t had come but yesterday
1t had brimmed with sweet the
earth
A fading rose in DEATH cold hand,
That persisted in want and death!
Who fain would help in this world OF
Onrs,
Where sorrowful steps must fall,
Bring help in time to the wanting
powers
Ere the bier is spread with the pail
NOR send reserves when the flag is
furled
And the dead beyond recall.
For battling most in this dreary
world,
With ia tangles small and great,
Its lonesome nights and its dreary
days
And it's struggles forlorn with fate,
Is that bitierest grief, too deep for
tears,
OF the help that comes too late.

They were quiet, respectable people, and
had accumulated considerable money A
trip to their former home in japan was
to be made shortly and they had pre-
pared for the journey by purchasing large
quantities of the finest clothing
Kudow is believed to have been Jap
anese laborer, although but little is
known of him. He had made frequent
trips to this city and came here again
last night. He was smitten with Mrs.
Tahnchi and proposed to her that she
leave her husband and elope with him.
The woman refused and then it was that
the man planned the double murder and
suicide.
Kudow called at the house this morn
ing. Just what occurred is not known,
but from the position Of the bodies 1t is
believed he called Mrs. Tahnchi out into
the hall She was shot twice and her
body was found in the hall. The husband
of the woman at the beginning of the
shooting had evidently ran into the back
yard to get help. Kudow followed him
and shot him IN the center Of the back

found unconscious there. The murderer
then entered one of the bedrooms. He
