Norah Cassidy, knowing nothing
launched forth in praise of her native
land to which Captain Sinclair was
going for the first time. and was sure
that he would fall in love with an
Irish girl before he'd been there a
week.
That's treason" exclaimed the
young guardsman. Don't you know
that he's madly in love with Claire"
Sure, and we never told me, Claire, "
said Norah, reproachfully
IT'S all nonsense" replied Claire,
laughing; "we'er just real good
friends, and ! believe you'll prove a
prophet. Norah. Reggie, you'll fall in
love with an Irish girl and ask me to
your wedding"
Reggie Sinclair shook his head.
'If | ever get married. Claire" he
said. 81 shan't ask you. My heart
would be faithless at the altar"
There was touch of sentiment in
6inclair;s voice. and Jack Forester,
approaching it, fastened to turn the
conversation.
'By the by. Reggie" he said, what
about that chap who has escaped from
Dartmoor-John Wilson? Wasn't that
the name Of your soldier servant who
got hold OF your check book and tried
to draw hundred for himself?"
Eyes; it's the same man."
'Oh. Reggie, never heard Of that"
exclaimed Claire. Tell me all about

Closing time had come. and the
company streamed out of the fashion
able restaurant into the street.
The young guardsman told his
chauffeur to take Claire and her friend
home. and after Sinclair had hidden
Claire Barton farewell and begged her
not to forget him the two friends
strolied away together.
"She's a charming girl, Reggie"
said Jack Forester as they walked
across regent street.
Yes: and as good as she is charm

cause she's ambitious, and she knows
she can do great deal better than

feeling. I'm afraid"
NO" replied Forester; "but it's a

Ex-President Of Worlds Fair
Spoken Of For Place.
BRYAN AND HEARST NOT so sTRoMe
SILVER TONGUED ONE LOST OUT
BY ADVOCATING GOVERN.
MENT OWNERSHIP.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-With the pres
idential campaign little more than a
year away, democratic leaders are bus
lily figuring out the best plan of action
to follow in opposing either Roosevelt
or the Roosevelt ticket which certainly
will be presented by the republican
party.
For many months it has been a GER
tainty that the name of William ].
Bryan would figure prominently in the
democratic national convention, but
Mr.. Bryan's attitude on railroad mat
ters, in speeches made on his return
from abroad, alienated much of the
south and has raised serious question
in the minds of many as to the advis-
ability of his nomination. 1t also is
practically certain that the name of
William r. Hearst will figure in the
convention, but Mr.. Hearst will not be
nearly as strong a candidate for the
presidential nomination as he would
be had he been elected governor here
last November.
For a long time there has been a
growing sentiment in favor Of naming
a southern man as the democratic
standard bearer. This now seems to
be crystallizing around the name of
David r. Francis of St. Louis, former
governor of Missouri, and known in
ternationally as the president of the
ST. Louis exposition in 1904. Mr.. Fran
els is looked upon by democrats gener-
ally as an excellent candidate upon
whom both conservatives and radicals
could unite. Then, too, Missouri is re-
garded, geogra phically, as an ideal
state to go to for a candidate.
Missouri always has been ranked as
a southern state, although really a
border state. Still, it voted with the
solid South presidentially until
Roosevelt broke up the combination in
the last campaign. There is reason to
believe that New York and other east
ern states would take very kindly to
Mr.. Francis selection, and many
southern democrats have expressed
their satisfaction at the suggestion of
his nomination and the reward it would
confer on the democracy of the south
for it's long continued party loyalty.

1.-The two champions entered the

Ben being lifted over the ropes. An

dug in a hamlike fist and drew out
enough loose tobacco to fill brown
paper sack. He quickly worked the
it into his mouth and began to move
his jaws violently.

"The goat pursued quite different
course; he Hoped to the jar, introduced
his mouth to the wide-open neck and
started in, not to chew the tobacco,
but to eat it, Before Address had re-
duced his first mouthful to pulp Ben
was leading handsomely, and Address,
in a mad endeavor to regain lost
ground and avert such calamity as
being beaten by a goat, took out the
tobacco with both hands, put it into
his mouth and swallowed it as fast as
he could, just as the goat was doing.
But goats are queerly constituted;
their stomachs are made to stand any
thing from a cream puff to a colOred
supplement and, while Ben got on IA
mously on the tobacco diet, poor An
dress soon began to show the effects
of his overeating. First the big Scan
dinavian's face lost it's ruddy hue and
turned sickly yellow; his hands, still
conveying the tobacco to his mouth,
took to shaking and trembling and at
last, with a great cry of oh. I bane
so sick!' he turned away from the jar,
struggled to his feet, staggered about
like a drunken man and then dropped
to his hands and knees. Address GER
tainly was sick, and while he was in
his greatest agony the goat, having
finished all his own tobacco, was de-
vouring greedily the little that still re-
manned in Address jar.
"Andress was laid up for 10 days,
and at one time the company physi-
clan thought he would die of nicotine
poisoning. He was a big, strong man,
though, and recovered, but never from
that day to this has he touched tobac-
co, the sight of it making him sick.

department of the Interior who has
been at Fort Simcoe since the early
part of January, investigating the Ind

| the status of the trade in whiskey on
| the reservation and to reservation
| Indians.
Last night Captain Green returned to
this city and getting a number of the
leading saloon men of the city togeth-
er stated to them the determine
tion of the government in regard to
the matter of selling whiskey to the
braves. Captain Green told the men
that while it was legal to sell to Ind
ians who had allotted lands, that it
was strictly against the law to sell any
intoxicating or alcoholic beverage to
indians who had no such land. He
added further that the government
would take drastic action against any
saloon men caught selling whiskey to
ho ind Of froo1 nc
had been issued, and asked the men
what they were going to do about it.
No reply coming from the saloon
men, the captain told them that it was
not his policy to sneak around like
a spotter and work up cases against
them; that he preferred to come out
fairly and state the proposition to them
openly, and that after warning them,
if he found that liquor was still pro-
vided to the indians, that they would
have to answer to the department of
justice in the matter. He said he had
detailed list of all the allotted indians
on the reservation, and that he would
keep careful watch, either personally

Then he appealed to the men from
the standpoint of the community. He
told them THAT he believed in the fut-
ure of North Yakima and the surround
ing country, and that he knew the citi-
zens were anxious to have the reserva-
ton opened up. And the surest way to
accomplish this, he added, was to con-
vince the government that this ewas a
law abiding center and that the citi-
zens hereabouts could be trusted to
obey the laws in regard to the indians.
The saloon men talked the matter
over and presently one of them, who
does the greatest trade in liquor to the
Indians of any man in town, said that
while it would mean a net loss to him
of over $40 day, still he was willing
| to cut out absolutely hereafter the
sale of liquor to any and all indianh,

SCHUMANN .HEINK.

The coming Of Schumann-Heink to
the Spokane theater in Spokane on
January Is is attracting the most un-
usual interest. Schumann-Heink is
apart from all other singers inasmuch
as she has two distinct qualities of
voice; a deep toned contralto and a
powerful ringing mezzo soprano, both
of unsurpassed quality and sweetness.
The superb voice and genial, whole
some personality of the artist are
known everywhere, and little that is
new remains to be said of one of the
foremost singers of the world. Her
Spokane program will delight all low
ers of song. 1t will consist of brilliant
operate numbers from the Italian,
English and German composers, a
group of Hungarian Gypsie songs by
Brahms, three numbers by Schubert,
and others by List, Schumann and
Rossi. Miss Helen Schaul, a dis.
tinguished pianist of wide reputation
in England and on the continent, will
he heard in three solo numbers. There
