Mr.. Bangs would follow, the latter gen.

vate office was usually reserved for in
terviews with widows whose home

guileless individuals who had indOrsed
notes for friends, or others whose busi-
ness was unpleasant and likely to be
accompanied with weeping or profan-
ity. Mr.. Bangs didn't object to fore

have a prospective customer hear the
dialogue that preceded the operation.
On this occasion the door of the sane
tum was left ajar, SO that Elsie, al
though she did not try to listen, could
not very well help hearing what was
said.
She heard the captain commenting

tionally pleasant weather of the past

Then the perfumes Of the campaign ci-
gars floated out through the doorway.

The Glorious Fourth

The Fourth of July, as predicted was d rousing success in our little city. There were at least 3509 or 1000 people present from all points of the country and all seemed to enjoy the day very much. Lonoke and DeXalls Bluff each were well represented, there being probably three or four hundred people from each place present. Hazen and Cross Roads were also here by the score and many otAer places were well represented.
 When dinner time came the commit tee spread the long tables with all the good things to eat. including over two thousand pounds of barbecued meat of most every kind There was plenty of everything and everybody cemed to enjoy it very much
 The Ionoke Cornet Band had been secured to furnish music for the occasion and their music was highly enjoyed
 4 number of very interesting base bail games were played during the day. Probably the most inte1 resting of these vas the one in the afternoon played between Lonoke and DeValls Bluff Everything passed of very quietly. but DeValls Bluff was little to much for the Lonoke boys, and wa ked away with the honors by score of to '

The advent of a new train run
ming through North Yakima is a
matter which should make every
citizen feel that there is something
good in store for them. While it
may not be an immediate benefit for
every individual directly, there is no
doubt but that it will be benefit in
directly. We all know that addi-
tional train service will bring more
people to our fair city, and the more
the better. There is no doubt that
the coming summer is going to be
hummer for North Yakima and the
city will see a year of prosperity as
never before. We are entering upon
a year of prosperity which should
be an incentive for every person to
help boom the city, and if we all
speak a good word we are sure that
before the year is past we will see
our wish fulfilled.

Gle Abe was the chief magistrate
of the homes of America, for no
president loved the people so much,
and none were or ever have been so
near and dear to them.
No president ever shaped, nodded
and controlled legislation as did
Lincoln; not by force, combines or
the persuasive power Of official ia

tional, patriotic arguments Lincoln
brought dissenting senators and con-
gressmen TO his way of thinking.

churches and our schools, our vaunt-
ed civilization, there are thousands
of homes whose young inmates
would be better off if they were
behind prison bars.
OF course little Stephen Ferdig
was denied the boon he craved. So
ciety does not provide prisons as
schools for such aspiring yungsters.
1t leaves them to shift for themselves
and if their resources of character
are too slight to carry them over the
rocks, it locks them up after they are
not worth saving.
Let us hope that the helping hand
which this lad sought in vain from
the state may be reached out to him
by some good man or woman having
humor enough to appreciate and
sympathize with thesoul of the boy
who sought prison as an escape
from hell.-Tacoma Ledger.
