Protest from Defense.
Hawley spoke for nearly an hour
and a half to a court room crowded,
but silent, to a jury which, sitting
Lolt upright, watched for every word,
TO a prisoner who, with his family
around him, was several times moved
to deep emotion as the prosecutor pro-
nounced the charges. Counsel for the
defense opened fire before the state
ment had proceeded ten minutes, and
the repetitions Of objections from
them led to three or four sharp eX-
changes. They protested against the
| charge that the federation was guilty
Of scores of murders and the asser-
ton that the conspiracy extended
back to the first trouble in northern
Idaho, which was years before the ac-
cused was a member of the organiZa-
ton, and they accused Hawley OF ar
guing the case in an opening state
ment. They dotted the records with
exceptions of overruled objections,
and finally got an agreement whereby
they could protect their rights as to
the entire opening statement. Judge
Wood permitted the wide scope in the
opening statement on the assurance
of Hawley that the state could show
the existence later of the conspiracy
which it charged and make the neces-
sary legal connection.
Eight Witnesses Examined.

RAILROAD ASSESSMENT STANDS
State Board Completes Its Work
After Strenuous Session.

strenuous session at the capitol Of

which representatives of the railroads
intimated they would resist the in.
creased railroad valuation, amounting
In the aggregate to s., $1,000. The
board formally announced 1t would
not reduce the assessment one cent.
The meeting at times was stormy. At.

said il meant an increase in taxation
for his road alone of $500, 600. He pro.

Chairman Winnett Of the state board
of transportation formally notified at

found herself on the we'll known trail
that led to her cabin. Like a mouse
she crept into her corner of the bed
on which her mother slept. Shiver-
ing, she pulled the rough quilts,
bought at mission house sale, round
her and was soon nsleep.
The next day Toosha and Hist-ko
declared that the Shining Waters no
more showed to maidens the face of
the husband to be. But Ma-kwat-ko
held her tongue. She knew the Shin
ing Waters did show aface sometimes
they had shown face to her. She
had seen one in the waters!
When the autumn came and turned
the green leaves to crimson and
brown and gold Ma-kwat-ko, too,
went to the mission school. But still
she was lonely. When she spoke to
the other girls about the thoughts
that came to her they only stared at
her or said something that showed
they did not understand. Often she
thought of the face In the Shining
Waters, and said to herself: "She
would know what I mean"
Although no one cared to have
Ma-kwat-ko talk. she began to find
great deal of happiness in writing
her thoughts. After time people
began to say how wonderful 1t was
that poor Indian girl should think
of such beautiful things, and she re-
ceived money for writing them. And
yet no one understood altogether,
and she still remembered the face in
the waters
When Ma-kwat-ko had quite
grown up she was known as the I'm
dian poetess," and one day a rich
woman In great city gave recep-
ton for her. Among all the guests
there were none whom she thought
she would like to talk to until there
came in woman who was tall and
fair and more beautiful than any of
the others.
Il have always loved your people,"
she said to Ma-kwat-ko. "Once,
when l was little girl, 1 made my
father take me to the top of a noun
tain at midnight to see an Indian
wishing we'll"
"Oh, / saw you there in the water"
said Ma-kwat-ko, "and l have longed
for you ever since"
So at last Ma-kwat-ko found the
playmate she had wished for, and she
was never SO lonely again. - Nav

THE BREADFRUIT TREE.
Many Ways in Which This Strange
Tropical Plant is Utilized.

The breadfruit tree is a native of
Southern Asia, the West Indies, the
South Pacific Islands and the Indian
archipelago. In appearance it resem-
bles somewhat the wild chestnut. It
grows to the height of forty or fifty
feet and has dark green leaves, many
of them two feet in length, which are
deeply divided into pointed lobes.
Hidden among the great leaves the
breadfruit grows. 1t is nearly spher-
ical, often weighs four or more
pounds and has thick yellow rind.
The eatable part lies between the
rind and the core and when fully ripe
is yellow and juicy. The fruit is bet
ter before it is fully matured, and the
natives gather it while the pulp is
white.
Before it is ready for table use it
must be roasted, when it looks like
wheat bread and is both palatable
and nutritious. Usually the fruit is
cut into three or four slices and roast
ed or baked in an oven.
Frequently the people of a village
join in making huge oven, in which
several hundred breadfruits may be
baked at one time. Thus they are all
supplied with bread without its cost
ing any of them much labor. Pre-
pared in this way the bread will keep
for weeks.
The breadfruit is In season eight
months of the year. When the season
finally draws to close the last fruits
are gathered and made into a sour
paste called "mahel." This paste will
keep good for months and is made
into balls, wrapped in leaves and
baked, just as needed.
Bread is not the only product of
the breadfruit tree. From it cement,
cloth, tinder and lumber are also OBJ
tanned. A glutinous, milky Juice
oozes from the trunk of the tree,
which makes an excellent cement
when boiled with cocoanut oil. From
the fibrous inner bark a kind of
coarse cloth is made, and the big
leaves make good towels. The lum-
Der is used for building houses and
many other purposes. Besides all
this, the dried blossoms are used as
tinder when fires are kindled.-Balti-

There are many reasons why there

were singing in one chorus the glory
of peace. The same thoughts came
