with $500 gold piece. Some
thirty-tive partook of the repast
and about fifteen that were invited

ciate it very much. May they live

Did you ever hear how a slip of an
army girLheld up a ship for ten days in
Manila? Well,e she tells it herself. it
seems that her father was commanding
a regiment in the Philippines and her
mother was in Manila. This girl went
over to Hong-Kong on a trip, and a very
enjoyable one it was. While there she
received a cable from Mrs. Taft which
said: Bring me an 'amah.'" Now, an
'amah" is a Chinese nurse girl. This
young lady went out and engaged nine
to meet her at the dock the day the ship
sailed. She was a very wise young wom-
an and guessed that most of them would
not show up.

Panama Death Rate.

In 1882, the second year of the French
occupancy of Panama, says Country
life in America for March, the death
rate was 112 per 1000, and the French
lhad a force of only 1900 men. In Au-
gust, 1905, the second year of our oc-
cupancy, in a force of 10000 men there
were eight deaths. or two-thirds of a
man to every 1000. We have sent the
death rate down from 112 to eight by
vigilant sanitary precautions.

WEEP. The more callous a man or a woman is the more both enjoy
the publication of such an experience. 1t is that class who are in the

have, besides, other outlets for this quality.
There is no one who applauds the hero on the stage 81 much as

a thinking nor IN ~unthinking man. He is essentially the man of action

doesn't stop to reason and come to logical deductions. He has no

not want it.

Ex-CoNVICT WILL BE RETURNED

A telegram was received at the

notifying the authorities to hold
Thomas Baynum, who was arrested
for a statutory offense recently and
who at the time of his arrest made
an open confession that he was an
escaped convict from the Delhart
penitentiary The telegram also
stated that deputy would start i'm
mediately to take him in charge. 1t
is said that Mr. Baynum has con-
sented to go back and serve his term.
1t is quite generally understood
among the local police that reward
Of $3.50 is offered for the apprehen-
sion Of the escaped convict, and the
boys feel that if such is the case
they are entitled TO It. They wrote
a letter TO the Delhart authorities
making inquiries into the matter,
but have received no reply.

Councilmen Thompson and Lin

would be lessened or prevented if the

Now we are engaged in a great civil
war, testing whether that nation, or
any nation so conceived and so dedi-
Gated, can long endure. We are met
on great battlefield of that war.
We have come to dedicate a portion
of that field as final resting place
for those who here give their lives,
that that nation might live. 1t is
altogether fitting and proper that we
should do this. But, in a larger
sense, we cannot dedicate, we can
not consecrate, we cannot hallow
this ground. The brave men, living
and dead, who struggled here have
consecrated it far above our poor
power TO add or detract. The world
will little know nor long remember
what we say here, but it can never
forget what they did here. 1t is
for us, the living, rather, to be dedi-
Gated here to the unfinished work
which they who fought here have
thus far so nobly advanced. 1t is
rather for us to be here dedicated to
the great task remaining before US
that from these honored dead we
take increased devotion to that cause
for which they gave the last full
measure of devotion--thaS we here
highly resolve that these dead shall
not have died in vain; that this ma
ton, under Cod shall have a new
birth of freedom. and that govern
ment of the people, by the people,
and for the people shall not perish
from the earth.
Granville Lowther, formerly of
Wichita, Kansas, delivered the ad
dress of the day. He is a very fluent
speaker and a powerful orator. His
address was acknowledged to be one
of the best memorial addresses ever
delivered in Yakima His words es.
pecially emphasized that great broth
erhood of man. and he deplored the
tendency of the human race toward
egotism, holding UP altruism of all
characteristics the greatest to cul-
tivate.
His closing remarks were strong
and very forcible; how the great
river of public opinion ruled the
world, and that every creed or doc
trine, party or organization, bent
to its will.
Memorial services were fittingly
observed by all of the city schools.
Most of the programmes were given
at II o'clock a. M, and consisted of
a regular flag drill.
The merchants closed their stores
at noon, and no place of business
was open No mail was delivered,
and most of the work in the city was
stopped.
