got married. and he and his wife. who
ives an expert cheese-maker, rented a
cheese factory and started a business
career
The competition was close and this
portion OF the confession" in which
Orchard narrates his first deviations
from straightforward path are very
important, as they picture forth his
first trend toward the awful life he
lived later. 1t is all simply told and
the gradual steps are clearly marked;
short invoices to the people who
bought his cheese, short weight to the
men he bought milk from. and all the
details kept from his wife. He soon
lived beyond his means, and finally
lost his factory. Then follow the
steps that finally led him TO burn
his second factory and run away with
another mans wife. The woman re-
turned home and Orchard drifted into
the Occur d'Alene mining district in
Idaho, where he first encountered min

UNPAID WORK THE TEACHER SHOULD DO.

1t would be better for the earth to be destroyed by
fire food, with all the people it, all once than
to have and women stop doing everything for
which they paid no money. Many of the best
and most important things that are done
are never paid for in money. Every man and
woman has duties to do for which he
receive any silver gold.
The teacher is paid to teach the child Reading
Riting and Rthmetc" but he is poor teacher if he
stops with lessons like these. Every school teach
er ought to see that there is a Sunday
School in his school house every Sunday.
He is not paid for it-he should be all the
full do Every day in the week he should be teach
ing the children be kind, truthful neat Clean hon
est and dgent but the Sunday School the place
make these things most interesting and helpful The
songs about God and goodness will help the children
know that true religion is the best and happi-
est thing in the world; the Bible stories of Mo
make the future citizens of mountains brave and
good The warnings against the sting of the serpent
drink and the evils of hatred and strife will do more
than state laws to do away with whiskey and feuds.
You have your textbooks for geography grammar
and arithmetic The Bible is the great text
book for goodness and goodness is much more i'm
portan to learn than arithmetic geography. And the
time to learn it is when is a child Very few
learn to read after they twenty years old Very
few people are converted after they are
twenty years old. The time to learn to read
and the time to learn what goodness and to love to be
good is when is child. How many school
teachers will do this unpaid duty? How many
school trustees will ask their teachers have Sunday
School in the school house,?

THE WOMAN

Many women have a certain timidty
about coming to a bank. They seem to re-
gard bank as essentially a mans institution
No greater mistake can be made and
particularly is this true in regard to trust
company like this, which is able to serve
women in so many ways.
Every woman ought to have her own
savings account married women as well as
single ones for what wife can save with any
zest unless she can see the tangible definite
results of her saving9
The housewife who has savings account
in her own name will take real pleasure in
saving when she sees the result in the shape
of growing savings account earning 4 per
cent interest
Women who have property interests find
this company's assistance especially valuable
as it is always unbiased and woman can be
sure that her possible lack of knowledge of
business ways will be protected here rather
than taken advantage of

The convention did not vote to favor
any candidate for president. Altho a
large part of the delegates wanted to
endorse Taft there was a strong OPP
position and the assembly adopted a
resolution approving the administra-
ton OF Roosevelt but not favoring
any one candidate for his successor.
Judge VIM. Fl. Holt made a strong
speech for temperance. and it was
hoped that the Resolutions Committee
would approve strong temperance
plank. The county unit law was
approved but nothing was said about
the closing Of saloons on Sunday.
That was not very good. but after all
that is a question of honesty in the
candidate rather than of party policy.
II the republican candidates are
elected they will swear to enforce the
law. II they are honest they will
keep their oath. If they are not, they
ought not to be elected. Let every
man look up the candidates and vote
for the best man first and the best
party afterwards. That is the only
way to make the parties put up good

Broadway was deserted except for
those who found nothing better to do
than to walk the streets. Upon the
closed doors of the opera houses, the

placards had been posted. These

closed, and the advance sales for the

tonight some of the theatrical men de-

the town was unusually wide open. It
was not denied all places having
licenses of any description had done a

that they had not permitted any VIOLA
