One morning was sent by the
chief to take up a new case, and
! when | entered his Office | found a
lady present. She was a woman
not over 25 years of age, handsome,
educated, and a society ornament.
She was the second wife of a rich
old wholesale merchant, Williams.
They had been married about a
year and a half, and it was said
that it was a love match. She had
come to police headquarters in her
own carriage, in broad daylight, to
tell her story to the chief and seek
the services of a detective.
Her story amounted to this: For
some time past she had been miss
ing jewelry and sums of money. A
private detective had been en-
ployed, but met with no success
in discovering the thief. One rob-
berry included valuable diamond
ring; another a pair of earrings;
the third the sum of $500 in gold;
the fourth the sum of $500 in green
backs. About 10 days previous to
her visit a package of $4,000 had
been taken from her husband s
secretary, and at the same time she
had missed a diamond brooch from
her dressing table.
Her husband was confined in his
room by an attack of govt, and, for
all we know to the contrary, it was
by his advice that she came.
"This looks like very simple
case" said our chief, when she had
gone, "and I can't see why Taylor
had not picked up some clew."
The only servants who had ac-
cess to the bedroom were the cham
bermaid and the butler. This last
parsonage had no right there, OF
course, but having the run of the
house, he could slip into it. Of
fcer Taylor had suspected him and
| had devoted his whole time to
| watching the man. Nothing but
disappointment had turned up.
1t was agreed that | should look
out for the chambermaid, and | put
| in a week on the case to find out
that she had the best of recon-
mendations, and the probabilities
| were all in her favor.
worked on the case three weeks
and then abandoned it. | meant to
keep the butler and chambermaid
under surveillance for a time longer
but | could not promise that any
thing would come OF 1t.
One day | dropped into a family
restaurant and went UP stairs to be

STATE MONEY
TO ADVERTISE
WASHINGTON

1t is the idea of the various cham
besr of commerce or the state to
ask the legislature to appropriate
the $4,000 which is in the state
treasury, left over from the Port
land fair appropriation, so that the
state of Washington can be adver-
tised in the east.
When the money was set aside it
was with the specific understand
in gthat it was to be used for ad-
vertising Portland, but it is the
idea of Governor Mead that the leg

Six hundred and fifty dollars for
a night gown! 1t seems a pretty
big expenditure for a robe that is
worn during the sleeping hours.
Yet that is the eXtravagant sum
that a fond mother expended for
the night robe that is to be a
portion of her daughters marriage
trousseau.
Very good and pretty night dress
es can be procured for $1.25.

But not so with the pampered
daughter of a great multi-million-

silken night robe, the lace upon
which caused many an eye to grow
dim and aged.
There are yards and yards of ex-
quisitely wrought Valenciennes

took young girls weeks and months
to make, bending low over their
bobbins and cushions.
The greater amount of the lace

The "keep-a-Trying" Sign Boards

My boy" said Uncle Hiram, you II
soon be starting out,
To drive DER life's long roadway, and
oft bit of doubt
Will puzzle you completely, as to
which you'd d best pursue
OF branching ways, when roads fork
out, as they re inclined to do.
Each bears the equal marks of we'll
worn travel, like as not,
And so, ones undecided which he'd
better choose to trot;
But l have learned the route, my boy,
and this much L IL confess
The Keep atrying' signboards mark
the highway to Success.
Success is such pretty town-to
reach it, all men strive:
You II find the crowd, though, growing
less the farther on you drive.
For many, seeking shorter cuts through
Dillydally lane,
Get SO far off the highway that they
find it neer again.
W. ~ po "i'uict' as you ~ oI, W
fngerposts that say
Take Chances road past Waitingville
it's far the better way
But | this safer route would fain upon
your mind impress
The Keep a-trying" signboards mark
the highway to Success.
1.-THE road that runs through Waiting
VILE has prospects bright and fair
When first you start, but farther on, it
leads through swamps of Care,
And. after that, you Il have to climb
the weary hill of Debt;
Then, still beyond. there looms in view
the tollgate of Regret,
And so, my boy, when starting on the
road of Life alone,
The route your Uncle Hiram chose I
trust you'll make your own,
And heed his plain directions, if you d
quite avoid distress;
The Keep atrying signboards mark
the highway to Success. -

s. Martin and for State offices, from Governor down, were chosen. There had been a sharp and bitter contest be- tween Governor Andrew Jackson Montague and Senator Martin. Montague, who is regarded as a high class stump speaker. kept ringing the charges that Martin was merely a runner about the departments for his constituents. and did not measure up to Senatorial calibre and dignity. Mar tin invited the people to look at his record and judge him by that, or any thing else that pertained to his fitness as a Senator. He won a sweeping vic tory.
 The race for Governor was equally in- terestIng. The contestants were Claude A. Swanson of Danville, representing the Fifth District in Congress; Judge William H. Mann of Nottaway County, a member of the State Senate, and a strong advocate of prohibition, and Joseph E. Willard. Lleutenant-Gov- ernor, who lives in Fairfax County just across the Potomac River. from Wash ington and is also the owner of con siderable property in Washington. be- ing the sole owner of the finest hotel south of Philadelphia-the New Will lard.
 Representative Swanson. who won brilliant victory over two eXceuent gentlemen. Is serving in this, the Fifty ninth, his seventh term in Congress. He was elected in 1892. when he was 30 years old, and had never before held public office. There Is very much of the self-made man in MT. Swanson. as he earned with his own hands and wits the money which carried him through college and graduated him in law at the University of Virginia.
 The Virginia election will take place in November. Mir. Swanson will, in the person of Judge Lunsford Lomax Lewis of Richmond. have to race the ablest candidate for Governor the Republicans have ever put forward in Virginia; but there are no fears among Democrats that their standard bearer will not hold his own and win the usual victory for the party.
