Relief Fund Discontinued.

The question as to what should be
done in regard to the fund for the re-
lief of the widows and orphans of the
men who lost their lives January "a,
1902, in the explosion of the mines at
Lost Creek, was brought UP and dis
cussed. Secretary White. who has had
charge of this fund, reported that the
amount now on hand, something over
S 1900, is enough to supply the sur
viving members of the families of the
dead men with money at the present
rate for almost five months. James
Baxter of Hiteman spoke against talk
ing any concerted steps toward replen-
ishing this fund, stating that if the
Lost Creek people were to be cared
for indefinitely there was no reason
why similar provisions should not be
made for the families of all miners
killed while at their work. Several
other delegates regarded the matter
in the same light, and the convention
decided that after the funds now in
the hands of the district secretary
have been exhausted no further action
be taken, no restriction being made,
however, against receiving donations
from any source at any time for this

EOriginaLI
They had been married in the spring;
had gone to the country for the sum-
mer, and now that tile autumn was
coming on they were looking for a
house. In the evening when the hus-
band returned from business his wife
told him that she had found coy
cottage situated exactly 10 her taste.
"Can you not come and look at it

Tomorrow is my busy day. / shall

"But there is another person ready
to take ii, and | must give an answer
at once or lose it,
@Well, sweetheart, since It is only
from September to May, and you are
satisfied, close the matter"
When Raymond Berthold found time
to visit the house for which he had
signed a lease, he stood before the door
with an expression of establishment
and pain.

dreaded to reopen the wound. When
he became engaged lie made an effort

evening before his marriage he made
another attempt, still without success.
After his marriage he kept putting off
his confession till at last be began to
doubt whether It was necessary.
And now Maura was taking him over
the house, pointing ont 4 pretty view
from a window, coy corner beside j

tell MauFa that this had been his home,

that the telling would involve a confess

he and his wife were sitting in their

A letter fell from behind it and slid

at it and turned pale.
Maura picked it up and was brushing
