When a young married woman

bam0oozle court and jury with his
tricks, and it was felt that Joe Lou
den was getting into very deep wa
tiers indeed. This was serious. II
the young man did not look out he
might find himself in the penitentiary.
Joe did not move into larger Of
fee; he remained in the little room
with its one window and it's fine
view Of the Jail. His clients were
nearly all poor, ana many of his fees
quite literally nominal. Tatters and
rags came up the narrow stairway to
his door-tatters and rags and pitiful
fneries; the bleared, the sodden, the
Haunting and rouged, the furtive and
wary, some in rags, some in tags and
some-the sorriest-in velvet gowns.
With these, the distressed, the wrong
doers the drunken, the dirty and the
very poor, his work lay and his days
and nights were spent.
When Joe went about the streets he
was made to feel his condition by the
elaborate avoidance, yet furtive at
tention, of every respectable person he
met, and when he came home to his
small rooms and shut the door behind
him he was as one who has been
Kissed and shamed in public and runs
to bury his hot face in his pillow. He
petted his mongrel extravagantly well
he might and would sit with him in
his rooms at night holding long con-
verse with him, the two alone togeth-
er. The dog was not his only con-
fidant. There came to be another, a
more and more frequent partner to
their conversations, at last q familiar
spirit. This third came from q brown
jug which Joe kept on a shelf In his
bedroom, a vessel too frequently re-
plenished. When the days work was
done he shut himself up, drank alone
and drank hard. Sometimes when the
jug ran low and the night was late he
would go out for a walk with his dog
and would awake IN his room the next
morning not remembering where he
had gone or how he had come home.
Once, after such a lapse of memory,
he woke amazed to find himself at
Beaver Beach, whittier, he learned
from the red bearded man, Happy Fear
had brought him, having found him
wandering daZedly in a field near by.
These lapses grew more frequent until
there occurred that which was one Of
the strange things Of his life.
It was June night, little more
than two years after his return to
Canaan, and the Tocsin had that day
announced the approaching marriage
of Eugene Bantry and his employers
daughter. Joe ate nothing during the
day and went through his work clumsi-
ly, visiting the bedroom shelf at inter
walls. At 10 in the evening he went out
to have the jug reflled, but from the
moment he left his door and the fresh
air struck his face be had no clear
knowledge of what he dld or of what
went on about him until he woke in
his bed the next morning.
And yet, whatever little part of the
soul of him remained that night still
undulled, not numbed, but alive, was
in some strange manner lifted out of
it's pain toward a strange delight. His
body was an automaton, his mind in
bondage, yet there was a still small
consciousness in him which knew that
IN his wandering something incredible
and unexpected was happening What
this was he did not know, could not

"NETTIE, THE NEWSGiRL."

1t is claimed for Lem B. Parker's
latest play, "Nettie the Newsgirl,' y
which will be seen at the Keylor
Grand theater Jan. II, that it is a
very powerful story, we'll told.
In the play every pathetic situation
is said to be shaded by feature OF

one of the most strongly appreciated
by all theatergoers.

SENATOR GUGGENHEIM.

Aldrich, Allison, Culberson, Foraker
-GUGGENHEIM! and the occupants
of the senate gallery nearly jump out OF
their sleep. Who in the name of
George Washington is Guggenheim?
Gug and the rest of it is or will be in
a few days the new senator from Colo
RADIO. He will succeed Tom Patterson,
the editor of the Rocky Mountain News,
who has been retired by his constitu-
more kinds of noises than any other
editor in the Louisiana purchase.
Guggenheim is republican. He
made great record of self-sacrifces in
the state of Colorado by refusing to
join the free silver party when it was
topmost in the state. He declined
nominations of various offices and kept
on attending to the smelter business, all
the while telling the boys that when the
ship of state righted again he would
like to go to the senate. He has
paved the way to Washington by dis
tributing money at church fairs and
putting lads of the smelter trust in
picnic programs, thus building up the
business of the trust.
Mr.. Guggenheim's record as a states
man is yet to be made. He has time
enough to make it. He is only 80 years
old and has no prejudices upon any
national question. The smelter trust
is rich enough to keep him in the
senate until he has learned it all.
Mr.. Guggenheim intends to resign
from the smelter trust and become a
rabid opponent of swollen fortunes.
This is an encouraging evidence of his
capacity for broad craftsmanship, Gug-
genhem has no record as a tennis play
er or amateur hunter, but the New
York Sun reports that he already be-
longs to five clubs. The senate will be

The commercial bodies of Pendle-

January %.
The occasion is taken advantage of
to discuss matters OF interest to the
Inland empire. Owing to the depleted

pare fine entertainment for the occa-

FOR THE STATE SOLONS.

In a pertinent and sensible editorial
the Seattle News makes a splendid sug-
gestion-one which the members of the
legislature should heed. The News
says:
when the Washington legislature
convenes next Monday it's first act
should be to appoint legislative COM
mittee, with full power to command
the appearance of witnesses and to
demand any papers that may be re-
quired to ascertain the facts in connec-
ton with the shortage of COAL
The situation which confronts this
state at the present time is most seri-
Gus. For months the entire state has
suffered from a shortage of coal and
in this city particularly it has been q
hand to mouth proposition since early
in the fall. AT no time have the Goa
dealers been able to supply the de.
mands for fuel and the extra work or
the part of the teamsters in fighting
for limited portion of the daily supply
shipped to this city has largely increas-
ed the cost to the consumers, without
taking into account the advance il
prices made by the mine owners.
Governor Mead named a commission
of state officials to investigate thu
causes which lead to this condition, bu
the fact that this body was unable t.
| compel the appearance of witnesse.
combined with it's desire to play polite.
| resulted in the failure of the commits.
| sion to accomplish any good.
The legislature will be composed O.

perience and observation that a short

| something back of this shortage tina
| has not been brought to the surface il
