THE OLD HOME.

In the quite shadows OF twilight
lstand by the garden door
And gaze on the old, old homestead,
So cherished and loved OF yore.
But the ivy now is twining
Unframed DER window and wall;
And no more the voice OF the children
Is echoing through the hall
Through years of pain and sorrow.
. Since first had to part,
The thought of the dear old homestead
Has fingered around my heart:
The church empowered with roses
The gables dropping caves,
And the song of the bird at twilight
Amid the orchard leaves.
And the forms of those who loved me
In the happy childhood years,
Appear at the dusky windows
Through visions dimmed with tears.
l hear their voices calling
From the shadowy far away,
And | stretched my arms toward them.
In the gloom OF the twilight gray
But only the night winds answer
As Icry through the dismal air;
And only the bat comes swooping
From the darkness OF its lair
But still the voice of my childhood
Is calling from far away,
And the faces OF those who loved me
Smile through the shadows gray.

Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1905-09-28

The world has been very kind
to many who were once known
as ounces or blockheads, after
they have become very success
full; but it was very cross to
them while they were struggling
through Encouragement and
misinter probation. Such lives
do not show, however that a
numskull is sure to climb to the
top. Because the last boy in his
class became the great Henry
Ward Reecher, there is no reason
to conclude that the last boy in
the next class, or the next, must
become anything great at all.
There must be some life in. the
boy, or he will not rise under any
until the day ap-
pointed for the resurrection of
the dead. If he starts out in life
as a failure, he will end as one
unless he gets thoroughly waken-
ed up in some way. Give every
boy and girl a fair chance and
reasonable encouragement, and
do not condemn them even be-
cause of large degree of down
right stupidity; for many social
ed good for-uothing boys, block
heads, numskulls, billiards, or
ounces, were only boys out of
their places, round boys forced
into square holes.

CHANGE POLICY ON PHILIPPINES
President Takes First Step Toward
Law Revision.

President Roosevelt's reference to
the Philippine question in his speech
at Atlanta, 1t is learned, indicates the
nature Of legislation to be proposed by
his friends in congress this winter.
A bill is to come out of the ways and
means committee providing for the
free entry into this country of Philip
pine products, and also opening the
islands to investment. The restrictions
at present imposed are to be swept
away.
Mr.. Roosevelt's reference in his
speech to unfortunate measures
which have seriously, in some respects
vitality, hampered the development of
the Philippines" marks his first step
away from the policy of 'The Philip
pines for the Filipinos."
He serves notice that the policy ex-
Guiding capital has failed. The Phil
ippines need capital, and there are
two ways of securing it. One is by
alienation of the tariff arrangement
which now levies heavy burden upon
Philippine products exported to the
United States. Another is by remov-
some of the restrictions which have
prevented the direct investment of CAPT.
tai by individuals or corporations from
the states.

Moscow Land Fraud.

Moscow, Idaho, Oct. 24.-The land
fraud cases against Kettenbach, Kes-
ter. Dwyer and Robinett of Lewiston
were called in the United States court
Monday, and Attorney Borah requested
that the cases be passed until O'Clock
Tuesday afternoon. The request was
granted, and the defendants. who were
seated in the audience, soon retired
from the room.
The most interesting feature of these
cases centers around the close and
secret manner in which the jury venire
is being guarded by the officials.

LIVE INSIDE A BULLPEN.
Thousand People Are to Be Shut OFF
From World.


From World.
South Deering, a busy little settle
ment south Of South Chicago, awoke
recently to a new epoch in it's history.
The big coke ovens of the Semeth Sci
way Coke company sprung into life and
a mode Of life for employees began like
that in frontier settlements. A grim
stockade surrounded the entire plant.
Three hundred Hungarian and Aus
trian employees, with their families, a
population of 1000 souls, will live and
labor within the walls, practically cut
off from the outer world save for an
occasional newspaper or letter from
friends. The stockade surrounds 60
acres. The rules are as follows:
mo employee will be allowed outside
the gates without permission.
"Curfew will ring at o'clock and
every man, woman and child must be
within the enclosure by that time.
"All entertainment will be provided
by the company.
Employees must not attend dances
or other entertainments outside the en-
closure"
A dance hall was opened with a big
ball for the workers. The object of
the stockade is to keep employees free
from the low saloons and dance halls
that get their wages.

Recover the Stolen Jewels.

Victoria, B. C.-The $4,000 worth of
diamonds and emeralds set in AZ rings
which were stolen from C. q. Red
ferns jewelry store, were recovered
at Vancouver, where they had been
hidden by the persons who took them
from the store. Harry Redfern, son
of the proprietor of the store, his
cousin, G. Kurtz, and a woman from
vancouver are said to have been in
the store at late hour on the night
the jewels were taken. Kurtz, it is
stated, accompanied Detective Palmer
to Vancouver when the jewels were
recovered. 1t is improbable that there
will be any prosecutions.

veal its location when he is assured of

idaho Land CASES
PERSONS INDICTED BY FEDERAL
GRAND JURY AT TRIAL.
Some of the Most Prominent People of
Lewiston Facing Jury-Some of the
Best Attorneys of the State Engaged
by Defense-Borah Wins a Point
Senator Hepburn Not Implicated.

Moscow, Idaho, Oct 24-W. f. Ket-
tenbach and G. H. Kester, bankers of
Lewiston, and William Dryer, a bust
ness man of Lewiston, indicted by the
grand jury at Boise last July, were
arraigned in the United States court
Tuesday morning on charges of at
tempting to fraudulently obtain gov
eminent timber lands in north Idaho.
They were arraigned separately under
indictments that were returned sep
arately and then they were arraigned
collectively on the charge of con-
spiracy to defraud the government.
Apparently less concerned than the
spectators that filed the courtroom,
these bankers and business men,
known personally to almost every man
in this Vicinity, faced Judge Beatty
and entered their pleas of not guilty
without change of color.
Surrounded by five lawyers, includ-
ing some of the best attorneys in Ida
no. the defendants, who include the
youngest president of a national bank
in the United States, w. F. Ketten-
bach, and his cashier, George H. Kes-
ter, well known politician, who on
two occasions was a candidate for
state treasurer of Idaho, were the cen
ter of much interest during the first
hours of the court session.
William E. Borah Of counsel for the
defendants, after the arraignment of
Kettenbach, Kester and Dwyer,
brought the first open clash between
himself and Prosecuting Attorney N.
M. Ruick when he arose and asked that
the government indicate at this time
the method of procedure relative to
the trying of the three defendants
This request met with a fiat refusal
on the part of the prosecution.
Then Mr.. Borah said: "The defense
will ask a ruling of the court at this
time as to whether or not we are now
entitled to know whether our clients
are to be tried separately or collect
lively, which one first, if separately,
and about when the government ex-
poets to go to trial"
Prosecutor Ruick said in reply:
''The government is not prepared at
this time to make such an announce
ment and l do not believe that we are
required to do So" Judge Beatty, in
passing on the question, said: "It is
the judgment of the court that the de-
PENDANTS are entitled to know these
important facts so as to prepare for
trial and l will give Mr.. Ruick until
the converting of court Wednesday
morning to comply with the request
of the defendants"
Clarence w. Robinett, another Lew
iston man under indictment for land
frauds, was also arraigned and asked,
through his attorney, l. N. Smith, an
other day in which to enter his plea,
which request was granted This
closed proceedings in the land fraud
cases for today.
Hepburn Not Included.
