without any regard for expense, the
finest array of legal talent that
could be secured upon the Pacific

THE PASSING OF THE soS

that it has been long time since
we've been apart. And, it has also
been a long time since I used to sit
on the edge Of your bed nights and
tell you of a man who had a boy for
a ohum and of how the man loved
and cared for the boy just as
though he were both father and
mother"

and brother and sister. Well al

can't he any other way"
Perhaps, and yet you are going
away; my boy is going away"
The people of the little town of
Greenfield were wont to look upon
Henri Warden as a dreamer, as a
man of little account in business
and professional way, and as
queer, odd parent, possessing a
quaint and peculiar fondness for his
son. 1t was said that he had tried
to keep the latter a boy. The at
tachment was regarded as strong
and yet few, if any, realized it's all
consuming strength, particularly on
the part of the father.
Warden was a lawyer, although
he had displayed no particular in
clination for his work in recent
years. An affectionate and home
loving man, he had, since the death
of his wife, been both father and
mother to the son, as best he could.

POOL CAPPER PULLED

Howard Hartles, said to be a
tout at the Warwick and Oxford
poolrooms, making a living off the
unsophGticated by getting them to
give him money which he never
bets, was arrested yesterday after
noon by Detective Briley. Among
Hartles effects was an account of
IS with the Spokane County Saw
ings bank. Sergeant Sullivan this
morning said the Hartles probably
deposited the money in the bank,
thinking thus to escape being
charged with vagrancy. The SER
geant said that any undesirable per-
son is a vagrant, whether he has
any money or not.

The D44 Short Story

Even il that's true, we've al
ways shared things before; why not
this?" asked the son.
"Ah, how strong you are! You
prove it when I'm weakest. All,
my boy, my boy, how l do love

When come back" said the
son, land it won't be so long till

In the morning the two met at
breakfast. The father had passed
long, hard night. He had lived
the years over again. Finally, fail
ing to sleep, he had quietly climbed
to the attic and found the old play
things, grimy with dust. Then
tears came and he cried like the
boy, whom he was literally burying,
used to. Going back to his room
he made the sacrifice with the
dawning of new day; he put the
boy away.
The little old depot was familiar
the talk of townspeople was the
same, and yet they neither saw nor
heard. In few moments the train
came laboriously up the grade and
around the curve. Father and son
stood with hand gripped in hand in
final farewell. The older one,
choking, said: Goodbye, boy, good
bye"
The son murmured a last word
and swung on the steps as the train
started.

coach grow dim in the distance.

Pierce Must Face Trial.

In the federal court. st. Louis. Judge
Adams denied the application of III. Clay
Pierce, head of the Waters-Pierce Oil
Company. for a writ of habeas corpus,
and ordered that he be remanded to the
custody of the chief of police to be de-
livered to Sheriff Matthews of Travis
county, Texas, for extradition. Pierce
is wanted there to answer an indictment
charging perjury in an affidavit made in
May. 1900, to the effect that the Waters
Pierce company was not a party to any
pool, trust, confederation or combina-
ton in restraint of trade. In his decs-
ion Judge Adams said the conclusion was
irresistible that the indictment contain
ed the substance of an offense, and that
technicalities should not stand in the
way of justice. Pierce. who was in court
at the time of the decision, showed that
he was laboring under great mental
stress, while his attorney, Priest. was
vsbly disconnected, as shown by the
trembling of his hands. Priest gave no.
tice of two appeals that would be taken.
one to the Circuit Court of Appeals and
one to the United States Supreme Court,
and Pierce was admitted to bond in the
sum of $4,000.

Brain Intury and speech.

Taking issue with the generally accept
ed theory that definite region of the
brain presides over the function of speech
and that an injury to this part of the
brain means an interference with the
power of using language, Pierre Marie, a
French investigator, whose views are set
forth in an article translated for the Lit
erary Digest, contends that the old notion
is largely erroneous. After referring
somewhat in detail to the results of ex-
periments on persons afflicted with apha-
STA. he states that failure to stand these
tests indicates, not word deafness, but
diminution of intelligence, since the pa
tient understands the meaning of the
words separately, but is not able to make
a proper connection of ideas He con-
cludes therefore, that the theory of word
deafness and it's localization in the brain
cannot be sustained. While his views
are perhaps too radical for general accept
ance. they seem to necessitate some mod
ification of previously held theories on

yentor of the telephone, in London in

navigation had been solved, and that
America was ahead OF the rest of the

chimes heavier than air. Prof. Bell gives
the first credit to Octave Chanute of Cii-
cago, to whose efforts much of the pro-
gress in America is due. The only ques-
ton that is left, said Prof. Bell, is that
of improving the machine created sy the
Wright brothers. Incidentally he let out
the fact that the aeroplane constructed
by the late Prof. Langley of the Smith
sonan is to be tried again bv his assist
ant, Mr.. Manley, who risked his life in
the first experiment when machine and
man were plunged into the Potomac river
after a short fight. Prof. Bell went to
England to receive the degree of doctor
OF science, which was conferred upon him
by Oxford. The professor will continue
his experiments at Cape Breton island
this summer. and will propel his kites
with a specially constructed engine of

He expected to get a machine that will
support man and the necessary equip
ment at low velocity.
