we always kept our latch string
out for our folks and they knew
that they were as welcome as the
flowers in May, always. We
couldn't do without them and they
know it. There are some things in
this world wealth won't buy.
There are some things that are
more to be valued than fine gold.
| would sooner 60 down toward
the sunset with the love and re-
gard of my children, the esteem
and respect of my neighbors, as
the old folks are going, than to
live in a palace with boards of
gold, and servants to answer
every beck and call without all
these. After all the storms that
come in fifty years, there has been
much sunshine. There was the care
free laughter Of the children as
they romped home from school.
II they could put up at auction
those two old people and bid that
memory off to the highest bidder,
ell me what they would take for
it? There were the battles, ard
they were fierce sometimes. "Old
Man Adversely is a hard foe to
conquer; but now the fight is near
ly ended, they can say, as Lee
said to his soldiers at Appomatox;
"We have fought this fight to.
gether and did the best we could
for each other" They were good
soldiers in that fifty years battle
of life; neither one skunk to the
rear and deserted the other. We
are only sorry we CAN'T be with
YOU. We'd like to put our feet
under the table with you and the
kin; but there is one big consola-
tion-you'II have bully time,
there will be lots of congratula-
tions and plenty to eat, and it will
take the old folks back to that
other day fifty years ago. There
is no use in me writing them that
we are glad to have them with us;
they know that. So I'll not con-
tinue this long letter.
Yours truly.

Fortune Telling by the Finger Nails
Spots on the nails and their
meanings will doubtless interest
many of our readers, as will also
the meaning attached to the var
ious shaped nails.
Spots near the top of a nail
signify things past; in the center
of nail, things present; and at
the base Of the nail, events to
come. White specks denote our
felicity, blue ones our misfortune;
while spots on the fret finger nail
denote riches, on the thumb nail
honor. The presence or absence Of
a spot on the third or wedding
ring finger, is said to prove our
future good or i'll luck in love;
spot on the nail of the little finger
denotes a long journey.
A spot on the thumb nail also
denotes a present; ON the first
finger, friend will visit you
shortly;on the second finger, be
ware of foe; on the third finger, a
letter will soon arrive,
Round nails denote liberal senti-
ments and love of knowledge.
Narrow nails show an ambitious
and quarrelsome nature.
Broad nails indicate a gentle and
retiring nature.
Small nails point to person OF
obstinate nature.

GOLDEN WEDDING
Celebrated in Denver by Former
Ohio People.

MI. anu W .. w. II hdIQ uls,
formerly of Dunkirk, Ohio, but
now of Denver, recently celebrated
their golden wedding They are
the parents of Harry Marquis,
who visited here a short time
ago and later established a law
office at Aberdeen, Wash, where
he now lives As he was unable to
be present at the family reunion
in Denver, he wrote a letter to his
sister which was read at the
proper time. Following is the COM
munication, which is reprinted
from the columns of the Dunkirk,
Ohio, Standard:
Dear Sister:
Yours received in regard to cele-
brating Father and Mothers Col.
den Wedding Anniversary. Why
certainly; arrange matters and give
them the best time possible Am
only cory | can't be with you,
but you will not find me lacking
in that | can do to make the occa-
sion success. | would like to be
there with them and talk it over
and have them tell me how it hap
pened. | would like to 60 over
the trail with them, back to the
time when they stood up together
and started ont in the world with
big bunch Of hope, but not many
other funds they could bank on.
| think their fancy takes them
back to the first home and the
homemade cradle, when your
humble servant, their first born,
put in his time trying to make
both ends meet He has been trying
to do the same ever since, with
varying success-just plain, every
day baby; but when the young
couple watched that baby playing
on the floor, after the young man
got through his work, even though
their means were limited, all The
wealth in the world couldn't have
purchased that baby. Then came
the others till four healthy young
sters, like nest ofyoung robins,
kept the two old birds flying
around constantly, seeing that they
were fed. What en- amazing appe-
tite we had; but, let It be said to
their credit that we never saw the
time that we wanted for a
good square meal. If our old cup
board could be introduced in evil
dence it would show the finger
marks of each and every one of the
children, for that cupboard door
was never locked. We went tc
school, like others, and had enough
to eat; we had the mumps, the
measles, the chicken.pox, the collie.
and the Group, and after time
fell madly and hopelessly in love
but we pulled through. Sometimes
it was close squeeze, and tonight
after lapse of fifty years, not one
link of the family circle is broken
We children went out into the
world with pleasant recollectiont
of that home, that time and dis
lance can never efface, but over
and above all there was fellow
feeling bond that bound US to-
gether, with links of affection and
fraternal regard for each other
that will end only in death. We
have always had that family pride
in each other that will always en-
dure. If one was unfortunate, anc
suffered disaster, the others suffered
with him; if one was successful, thu
others rejoiced. That was the way
with our people; blood always wal
thicker than water in David Mar
quis' family. Sister, it is not al
ways so, in this world of ours.

.VARNEY CLAIMS l. WAS WITHIN
 RIGHTS
Objects to Remarks Made Con- cerning Hold By Which He Threw Andersen in Bout at the Opera House.

Many persons not acquainted with the rules of wrestling have censured Sid Varney, the lCea- wrestler very severely since last Sunday for the manner in which he threw Andersen. which have been made, and feels that he is not deserving of them. When seen yesterday and asked concerning the matter, the big fellow said:
 '1 have not got any desire to crow ever Andersen, nor do I care to have 1t said that l took anw unfair advant- age in my bout with him on last Sun day night. Since that time many peo- pie have stated that threw Andersen by means of a hold which the referee should have barred. Now l want to say that this is untrue, because when we made our arrangements for the bout 1t was thoroughly understood that it was catch-as-catch-cn match with no holds 5arred but the strangle hold. This was also announced by the referee before we started to wrestle, and no objection was made.
 The hold which I used in throwing Andersen is known as the toe hold and any man who understands wrestl- ing that it is perfectly legitimate in a match like CUTS. I was perfectly within my rights, and I think that every man who was present, and un- deIstands the game, will say so.'
 Along the lines of Varney's conten- ton the following remarks by Gotch, the champion catch-as-catch-can wrest- Ter of the United States seem appro- r:iate:
 Another hold that is dangerous and painful, but is often used, and has won hundreds of falls, looks simple. It is called a toe hold. When on the of fensive and the opponent is on his hands and knees, with your left hand catch his right foot, and at the same time his right arm. Bend his arm up under him, and with your left twist his fcot over so that either his ankle must be twisted out of joint or he must surrender.
 All of these holds are terrors, and are tolerated in catch-as-catch-ca wrestling. Another thing to be con sidered is that wrestling is a fight to the finish for every fall. In a boxing bout you know how long you are to box. You can judge your pace accord ingly. In wrestling, it is throw your opponent or be thrown"

RISING SUN, Ind, Oct. 19.-Jack son Norris and his father. George Norris were both killed, and Jos Richardson was probably fatally wounded during quarrel between the three men ne ar this place today.
 The elder Norris and his son were working on their farm which borders on that of Richardson's and an argu- ment arose as to where the dividing point between the two farms lay.
 Young Norris and Richardson engag. ed scuffle and the father of Norris drew a revolver. In attempting to hit Richardson. the bullet struck his own son, who died several hours later.
 Seeing that he Lad missed the mark the elder Norris fired again, the bullet striking Richardson glancing blow
