Kind Words From a Lifelong Patron


The STANDARD very often receives
letters like the following that contain
warm congratulations for the determi-
nation that has resulted in such a
remarkable length OF service, as well
as praise at times for the manner of
performance, but they have not ap-
peared in print for the simple reason
that so many publishers cackle so
loudly over the most stinttd OF COM
pliments paid them that we had Al
ambition in this, as in many other
salient points of individuality, to prove
an exception to the rule.
But when such genial, whole
souled friend, such stalwart promot-
er OF principle and steadiast advocate
of all that is good and true, expresses
an opinion like that Of the annexed
letter, we believe it will please other
supporters of the paper much MS it
does the editor, to placeit in print. 1t
is such riffs in the clouds that make
life endurable:

Hon. JOHN MILLER MURPHY,
Olympia, WASH:
DEAR SIR: / hand you herewith check
for So in payment of the enclosed bill.
Kindly receipt the same and return.
See this is the forty-tifth year of the
publication of the STANDARD. You are
certainly deserving of congratulations,
and my sincere wish is that you may
continue to get the the paper out for an
| other forty-five year period. have no
doubt that there have been times i'm the
history of the Territory of Washington
when the people as whole, regardless
of party, were indebted to the STANDARD
for timely warning of impending danger.
For thirty-four years of this time it has
been my privilege to watch its career
and during this time many a boOdling
legislator has been held in line from fear
of an attack from the pen of the veter-
an editor Of this pioneer journal.
Hoping that you may be permitted to
enjoy good health and happiness for
many years to come. l am
Very truly,

Rockefeller pays on personal value OF
property aggregating two and . half
millions: J. Pierpont Morgan is down

thing to have these gentlemen pay on
an income after exempting a couple OF
hundred thousands for personal ex-
penses?

With money raised from bazaars
presided over by the young women OF
the congregation in 1905 St. Pauls
Reformed Church Of Mahanoy City,
Pa, at the New Years service cele-
brated the cancellation of q $4,000
mortgage on property bought year
ago for new pastoral residence. The
chief articles OF sale at the bazaars by
which the $4,000 was raised. were
homemade pastries and angel cake
baked by the young women them
selves. 1t is more than probable, how
ever, that it was the fascination OF
smiles. quite as much as sugar in the
pastry, that made the project such
an unbounded success. The example
should not be lost.

Story Of the PLAY.

The Little Homestead tells touch
ing story of human interest-a story
with moral, forcibly told and
beautiful in its pathos. 1t is story
which makes one better for the
knowing, yet tale of such dramatic
force and virility that interest is
heightened by every word and
situation. The quaint New England
setting is fitting atmosphere with
which to surround the characters.
One feels at home by the Preside with
the devoted young husband and
handsome wife; shudders at the
entrance of the villain who crosses
the happy threshold and strikes at
it's sanctity; sorrows at the frailty
of the wife, who in moment of blind
infatuatiou succumbs to the wiles of
the destroyer; weeps with the dis
consulate husband and finds hope in
the ill.shapen cripple to whom the
wife has been kind and who now
knows that his deformed being was
created for purpose. Pathos pervades
when the doors of the homestead are
closed upon the wife and the home
destroyer The sorrow and suffering
which follows the unhappy woman TO
squalid apartments, and to drunken
abuse from the man with whom she
has cast her lot, are relieved by the
appearance of the husband who hopes
to again lead her back to paths of
right. The little cripple again sees
and knows. 1t is his hand that rids
the homestead of it's destroyer. Then
out in the binding New England
blizzard comes the remorseful wife to
the little homestead-to die. The
rudy blaze of the fireside lights up
her face, made sweet through suffering,
she hears her husband call her wife,
hears his forgiveness and in the little
homestead passes to rest. Such is the
story of The Little Homestead. See
it at the Grand, Oct. Sd.
