Startling Story Comes to Light
in WalIa WaIIa
HUDSON BAY FARMERS REPu1Ep WIFE
Woman Who Died at st. Mary's Hos-
pital Last Saturday-Fight on
for Her Property.

life fraught with shame and deg
radiation during six years residence in
Walla Walla, later the reputed wife of
Michael Ryan, wealthy farmer Of the
Hudson Bay district, and still later an
alleged attempt on the part of Ryan to
secure possession of property valued
at $4,000 which rightfully belongs to
the woman's six-year- daughter is
the tale that came to light this morn
ing when Chief of Police Alvah Brown
was appointed administrator of the
estate of Ida Snyder, alias Hattie
Snyder, who died at ST. Mary's hos
pital last Saturday morning under the
assumed name of Mrs. Michael Ryan.
The life story of the Snyder woman
was partially revealed last evening
when Pearl Davis, a resident of Walla
Walla's tenderloin, filed petition in
the superior court through her attor-
ney, Timothy A. Paul, asking that
Chief of Police Brown be appointed
administrator of the dead woman's
estate. The Davis woman made aff1-
davit that the estate of the Snyder
woman was easily of the value Of
$4,000 and that parties having no in
terest whatever in it were attempting
to appropriate it to their own use to
the detriment of Ruth Snyder, a six
year-old daughter of the deceased, who
is rightfully entitled to her mothers
estate, which consists of money, dia-
monds and wearing apparel, part Of
which is deposited in the vaults Of the
Walla Walla Safe and Deposit COM
pany in Second street. The daughter
is in the custody Of friends in Seattle.
Resident Of TenderIoin District.
The Snyder woman, according to the
police, had been a resident of Wa1la
Walla for several years. She was an
inmate Of house in the Rose street
alley. Some months ago, it is al
legged Michael Ryan, a wealthy old
became enamored of the woman and
induced her to take up her residence
with him on his farm west of Walla
Walla. For several months she vis-
tied at the ranch off and on. When In
Walla Walla she would take up her
old residence in the tenderloin. Sew
eral weeks ago the woman was taken
i'll and Ryan sent her to st. Marys
hospital where an operation was per-
formed last week which resulted In
her death Saturday. At the time she
was known as Mrs. Ryan and this
name was given to the undertaken in
charge and was published as such.
Yesterday it Is alleged that Ryan
secured the services Of an attorney
with a view of securing possession OF
the dead woman's property. The
Davis woman, who has been an intt-
mate friend of the Snyder woman, for
several years was aware that she had
a daughter residing in Seattle and
last night made application for thes
appointment of an administrator that
the little girl might come into possess
sion of ner mothers property. Little
is known Of the Snyder womans past
life. It is said that she was married.
Trouble arose between husband and
,p,fa senaration followed and a life
OF shame was chosen by the womanA
She placed her daughter in the hands
of friends and has always provided
well for her support.

Overdid His Kindness.

A young and kind-hearted broker, OF
whom the New York Sun tells, recent
ly proved 10 his own dissatisfaction
that the way Of the benefactor may
have as many unexpected turns as that
OF the transgressor.
The young broker had a Danish
treasure" named Helma in his kitch-
en-. Her cooking was so perfect that
he was the envy Of all his acquaint-
ances, even those who had high-priced
chefs In their kitchens. The broker
often told his wife that they must
do something for the girl; she de-
served it." At last he saw an oppor-
tunity.
'Helma," he said to her one morn
ing after breakfast, 'if you have any
money laid by, and will trust me
with II, I'll double It for you to-day"
Helma gladly entrusted her savings
-s250-to her master. and that night
he handed her back $500, with a
pleased There you are. HelmAw
A few weeks later he repeated the
act. and when he gave her the sub.
stantial roll OF bills he told her that
she would be comfortable for life II
she put her money In a savings bank
and added to It now and then. When
Helma thanked him. with tears In her
blue eyes, he felt truly glad that he
had been able to do It for her, and
he was perfectly sincere.
Not long afterward Helma came to
the broker and his wife and said she
was sorry. because they had been SC
good to her, but It was impossible tc
stay with them longer; she had come
TO give notice.
When the broker questioned her
Helma explained that she was going
back TO Denmark to live on the money
he had made for her. "a thousand dol
lars is much money in my country
said Helma, simply.

THE TESTING OF FATHER.

When faint the city whistles blow.
And milk carts rumble to and fro;
When the glad sunbeams newly ding
Abroad their promises OF Il spring,
Then father TO the garden goes
Aud rakes and digs and plants and hoes;
When he has placed beneath the loan
About his glad suburban home
Lettuce and beans and trailing vine,
And proudly says; "All this is mine,'
And joyous hears the breakfast bell,
And feels his bosom proudly swell,
What sounds portentious on the breeze
Cause his slow curding blood to freeze
There, cackling singly or together,
With feet steel shod and lungs of leather,
The neighbors soul-destroying hens
Have flown their fragile mRkeshift pens!
The big white rooster proudly leads!
The air e full of garden seeds.
The old lifts with rapid scoops
Earth, 49, 4, sod, gravel. and the roots
That pa has planted with such care
And left 20 grow In comfort there.
IT'S nothing but Astounding grace
That holdeth father In his place.
Instead Of clubbing every hen
He plants the garden once again.
And ma says, with expression sage
Yer fathers mellerin' with age"

VALUE oE AN EpuCArlon.
1t ArOuses in the Possessor a Desire for
Brain Work.

1t Arouses in the Possessor Desire for
Brain Work.
Education is good for any man or
woman who accepts it simply as in
tellectual enlightenment and as
means Of intellectual pleasure. says
the San Francisco Bulletin. But edu-
cation has an economical as well as
an intellectual aspect. 1t gives a man
or woman appetites as well as pleas
ures. Ii creates in the individual
need and desire for brain work and a
distaste for manual labor 1t arouses
a wish for luxuries and social posi-
ton that only wealth can bring. 1t
drives men and women into those few
occupations which social prejudice
leaves open to educated persons.
There is no room in these professions
for the crowd. Consequently, a multi
tude Of the less competent among col
lege graduates fail in their work and
become dissatisfied.
1t would be well II the higher edu-
cation were confined to those only
who through superior powers Of mind
seem fitted for it and give promise Of
being able to employ 1t in the intel
lectual professions. Every graduating
class at every university contains a
large percentage Of students who bare
y pass the tests and who have no
natural aptitude for intellectual occu-
patton. These are dumped upon the
market with lofty ideas and insufficient
ability to back them up. Education
to them is a curse instead Of a bless
ing. 1t makes them take up work at
which they cannot succeed, and despise
and shun the work for which God
made them. Even II they find out
their mistake after leaving college. II
is commonly too late to mend. The
years In which they might have been
learning a trade or q business are
gone. They can do everything in gen
eral, but nothing in particular; and
the man that succeeds to-day is the
one who can do something in parslcu
lar and DO Il especially well
