THE MUeeY DAY.

The day Is hot and close and muggy
The housc-fles stick and the woods
are buggy;
There Is no wind in room or hall
There Is no breeze at all. ut all
And the day Is close and muggy.
MY lifo Is hot and close ana muggy
My speed clutch breaks and my mo
tors chuggy:
The cobwcbs cling To my dusty brain
anu all can think is the sad refrain
Ihat the day Is close and mugey.
Buck mp. sad heart! and cease com.

Somewhere IL Is cool and somewhere
raining;
Thy fate is only the common lot
In every life some days are hot
Some days must be close and muggy.

Watching the Year Out.

throughout the world the practice of
watching the old year out and the
new come in has been common OBJ
servance for many centuries. In the
monasteries and converts of various
religious orders it has always pre-
vailed, and several Protestant denom-
nations observe it as a beneficial in
stitution, promoting, as it does, piety
and the formation of good resolutions.
Resolves for the future are not limited
to our own time, for nearly 1000 years
ago Pliny, the scrapbook maker, noted
in his quaint fashion the return OF the
Saturnalia; made a memorandum that
during the coming year he must make
sacrifices to certain gods whom he had
neglected and that in other ways he
must amend his life There is no rec
ord that he did, so his New Year
resolutions were probably forgotten
as quickly as those made nowadays

DEATH OF JOHN THOLIN
Was Among the Earliest Settlers in This
Valley

John Tholin died Thursday, Dec. 10,
1907, at his home in this place, aged
81 wears, nine months and nine days.
The immediate cause of death was
apoplexy.
He was born in Kalsbad, Sweden.
March 10, 1845. He emigrated to
America in 1866, and was married to
Mary Nelson, in Rochester, Mimi,
Aug. a, 1878.
He came to Leavenworth, Nov. 10,
1892, being among the first to arrive
here, and erected the first building on
the north side of the track, when the
town was called Icicle, and with his
family has lived here ever since. He
is survived by his wife and two chill
dren, both grown, Miss Anna Tholln,
and Edward, who recently returned
from Alaska.
The remains will be temporarily in
tered here in the Leavenworth ceme-
tery. The funeral services will be held
Sunday at one o'clock.
Very few people in Leavenworth but
knew John !Tholin. He was man OF
very quiet and kindly disposition, and
was never known to speak i'll OF any
one, and it is not believed that he had
an enemy in all the world. He was an
afectionate husband and father, kind
neighbor and a good citizen. Peace
to his ashes.
To the bereaved family the Echo
extend sincere sympathy.

BRICKYARD CHANGES HANDS
Eastern Parties With Ample Capital the
New Owners

The brickyard owned by Peake &
Son has recently been sold to c. E.
Gutherless & Co. of Seattle.
This company will be known as the
Leavenworth Brick Co., and will COM
mence, as soon as spring opens, to
manufacture brick, and will install ma
chinery capable of making brick to
supply all demands. Mr.. Gutherless,
who is at the head of the business, is
an eastern man and has had long ex-
perience as a brickmaker, and is also a
bricklayer and contractor. He says
that they will make, in addition to the
common brick, a front, or pressed
brick.
He is satisfied that the material is
first class for this purpose. This is
something that is needed here, and the
time is at hand when the town should
have a yard that will supply not only
! frst-class brick but plenty of them. So
far there has not been enough brick
made to supply the demand, especially
for the last two years, and at the pres
ent time there are no brick in this
part of the country to be had.
Mr.. Gutherless will make his home
here, and will, as soon as spring opens,
invest in some of the fruit lands near
this place. He says that they will be
able to make brick here at price that
people can afford to use them in build
Ing, by this he means that the prices
will not be above the average in other
cities in this state. There are already
several who wish to put up good build
ings the coming season, if the material
can be had at reasonable price. Mr..
Paul Weigand, the owner of the Big
Rock corner, tells US that he will COM
mence his building as early as possible
in the spring. This building will be
two stories and basement, and will be
finished in such shape as to be one OF
the finest buildings in the town.

international Conference on Gold

An article in the Neue Fret Presse,
written by signor Luzzati, Italys fore
most financial authority urging the call
ing of an international conference to
consider the gold crisis is attracting
attention in financial circles.
Luzzati proposes that the treasures
and the leading banks of the world be
represented, and with delegates ex-
anime the statutes OF banks of issue
and reform them. He believes the
statutes are out of date and that they
make all money crises worse. This,
he says, is especially true Of America
and England The antique regulations
of the Bank of England decrease the
gold basis.
Joint stock banks ought to increase
their reserves and not rely alone upon
the bank of England which no longer
governs the money market and is on
the point OF losing its monetary auton-
omy because its metal basis is too small.
Signor Luzzati favors an international
agreement among the worlds chief
banks for reciporal loans of gold so as
to prevent rivalry. He suggests that
Austria and Italy jointly ask France
as the chief banking power of the
world to support the conference.

Texas Brewers Bowing to ProhibitiOhists

Texas Brewers Bowing to Prohibitiohists
Prohibition is making such tremendous
strides in Texas that the brewers have
now held out the olive branch to the
foes of the liquor traffic, offering to
purify the saloon business so as to
work almost a complete revolution.
The proposition is to set apart $3.50,
900 for the purpose of enforcing the
laws of the state and to bring about
reform. 1t is proposed by the Associ-
alton of brewers in the state of Texas
to not only refuse to supply beer to Of
tenders against the law, but to take
the initiative in prosecuting such Of
tenders. Sunday closing is to be made
strong feature in the reform work.
They ask therefore the prohibitionists
to hold off for two years in order to
give the brewers time to make these
reforms, the brewers association agree
ing that if at the end of that time re-
suits are not entirely satisfactory to the
prohibitionists, the liquor men will give
up the fight.

A Tragedy in China

A Tragedy in China
A Dresden shephardess was she,
l her companion piece,
A bold young china shepherd
Upon the mantelpiece.
I gazed on her the whole day long,
My heart with love did swell,
But she only looked with sky blue
eyes
On the bust of William Tell.
I could not blame my dainty maid
When all was done and said,
For the potter who had fashioned her
Had so put on her head.
And every day I thanked my stars
That, tho l could not stir,
The potter so had turned my head
That I might look at her.
But now my life is full of woe,
For careless maid did break
Each Of our china heads quite off,
And, horrible mistake.
She put upon my darling's neck
My own poor half-turned head,
And pasted firm with tears and glue,
Hers upon mine instead.
And now, alas, the livelong day
(For thus sad fate befel)
Her head upon my shoulders
Does gaze on William Tell.
While my poor head, which now is
hers,
Tho once a part of me,
Can only on my body gaze
The long day mournfully.
