Bend quite suspected that under all the
barrenness up at MAZE SIMPSONS an
ambition could have survived; yet one
had. Martic had an ambition. Way
down under her faded eyes and her
faded dress there was an ambition, and
that for the least promising subjects in
the Rocky mountains - the brickbats
Under the unending mending and the
poverty and the toll Martie, who never
put her nose out of doors, who never
attended a church social, never ven
tured even to free public school show,
had an ambition for the boys. She
wanted the two biggest to go to the
state university, wanted them to go
and get an education. And they went,
and Maize Sampson says them boys,
airy one, has forgotten more about the
money question than he ever knew. 1t
looks rs if after all the brickbats might
come out; Il bit of money in Martie's
hands goes so far.
There are few soldiers buried at
the Bend. Decoration day there Is an
attempt at turn out, little speech
ing and a little marching. A thin,
struggle column Of the same warped,
bent old fellows In the same faded old
blue. Up the hill they go and around
to the cemetery to decorate.

kind of join in along and go over with

ers and bucket Of water.
The boys soon stray over to where
the crowd is, around the graves Of the
heroes, but Martie gets down by a
grave somewhat apart and prods the
drifting gravel all up loose with an
old caseknife. You would think she
might be kneading bread there, the
way she sways under her sAnbonnet
and @loves-for her little boiled hands
are in gloves now.

London, March 21.-According to the
Daily Telegraph's correspondent at
Toxic it is now estimated that several
thousand persons were killed by the
recent earthquake in Formosa. The
whole island was shaken from early
morning on Saturday until late at

tinuous. On the same day slight
shocks were felt in Japan. Before the
following morning five distinct shocks
occurred at Kumamoto. kilograms
from Fornlosa state that the prosper
Gus towns of Datiyo, Raishiko and
Shinko were completely destroyed. At
Kagi alone 1000 natives and seven
Japanese We're killed. At Datiyo 600

fled only to succumb to their injuries.
At rough estimate the damage
amounts to $45,0O0,0O0.

PREPARE PROJECT.
Seeking to Bring About an Agreement
Over Morocco.

Algeciras, Spain, March 21.-A basis
for the adjustment of the rival claims
of France and Germany before the con-
ference on Moroccan reforms has not
yet been found. The Associated Press
learns from one of the most interested
delegates that the Austrians are pre-
pairing further police project, which
it is hoped will contain a suggestion
less Objectionable to France than the
Casa Blanca proposition while at the
same time safeguarding the interna-
tioual principle. The proposal pro-
vides for an inspecting general nomi-

Meanwhile Henry White, the chief

the head of the neutral delegates in en-

Neighbor went home thinking.
They buried Delaroo. But even then
they were not through with him. Della
roo had insurance In every order in
the Bend, which meant almost every
one on earth. There was no end to his
benefit certificates and no known bene-
aciaries. But when they overhauled his
trunk they found every last certificate
filed away up to the last paid assess
ment and the last quarters dues. Then
came shock. People found out there
was beneficiary. While the fraters
were busy making their passes Delaroo
had quietly been directing the right
honorable recording secretaries to make
the benefits run to Neighbor, and so
every dollar of his insurance ran. No.
body was more thunderstruck at the
discovery than the master mechanic
himself.
Yet Delaroo meant something by it.
After Neighbor had studied over it
nights the best of a month; after Maize
Sampson had tried TO take the color
test and failed, as he persistently said
he would; after he had gone TO tinker
: ing in the roundhouse, and from tinker
ing respectfully, and by degrees down
the hill to wiping at 81 40 Il day, with
time and half for overtime, Neighbor
bethought himself all Of a sudden one
day Of n paper Delaroo had once given
him and asked him to keep,
He had put it away in the storekeep-
er's safe with his own papers and the
drawings Of his extension front end
patent-and safely forgotten all about
it. 1t was the day they had TO go into
the county court about the will that
was not, when he recollectcd Delaroo' s
paper and pulled it out Of its envelope.
There was only half sheet of paper
inside. with this writing from Delaroo
to Neighbor:

MOODY ENDS HIS ARGUMENTS

Chicago, March 21.--Attorney Cen

that the pleas of the packers We're not

concentrations on Street Cleaning.
The report Of supt John T. Twohey. OF

fiscal year ended June 80. 1so6. shows that

There being an unexpended balance Of
Sl225f from 1906, the total available
amount fer the removal OF snow and ice
during 1896 was S2,9g2.5l. as against Sl6.-
2o25 the previous year. Under the act

appropriation is only available for remOv-

further accentuated by the fact that the

permitted to hang so low one cannot walk
upright under them with raised um-
brella. and il is utterly impossible to see
across the street at night.
