officer stationed in the Liaoyang
peninsula whose wife and child had
gone out to live with him before the
outbreak of hostilities.
All went we'll until the retreat of
the Russian army began. Then a
party of the marauding chungchu-
ses, who gave both armies SO much
trouble during the war, fell upon the
deserted station and sacked the
house which sheltered the mother
and child In the panic the two were
separated The mother escaped and
was able to rejoin her husband. The
little girl disappeared, and careful
search made by the parents after the
close Of the war failed to develop
any clue to her fate. and the parents
finally gave her up as dead.

PENHOLDERS.
Hundreds OF Kinds Nade-price>
Rnagc From One Cent to $50.

A simple enough thing a penholder
might seem 10 be. but of all simple
things few are produced in greater
variety.
Penholders such as are more com
monty used that is. other than those
of silver or Of gold are now made
in hundreds Of styles or variations
A single American manufacturer of
lead pencils and penholders makes
nearly 200 styles Of penholders. To
this now almost endless assortment
new styles are constantly added.
Those penholders Of the kinds
more commonly used. ranging in
price al from one cent 10 % cents
each, are sold in his country to the
number OF millions annually. and
American penholders are exported to
all parts Of the globe.
There are penholders that can be
bought at wholesale as low as 40
cents a gross: such retailing at one
cent each, and of these great num-
hers are sold but what with The gen

as well as utility.
When penholders were first intro

were all very plain and simple. the

Wooden penholders are made of
cedar or of whitewood, some finished
in the natural wood, polished, and
some stained, and many dipped or
painted. There are 10 be found such
penholders in all colors.
And the tips are in almost as great
variety as to shape or finish. There
are metal tips, plain and futed and
spiral and embossed. and these in
various oolors, or varicolored, or gilt:
and cork tips of various shapes and
sizes, and rubber tips likewise, and
rubber tips that are called pneumatic,
being not solid but hollow, and SO
yielding under the fingers.
Among the penholders that might
be called odd shaped are some with
the grip part of the handle triangu-

made in the shape OF half a hexagon

OREGON'S DRYEsT TOWN.
4 Misdemcanor at Scio to Become
Intoxicated in Ones Own Home.

\ town where it is unlawful to get
drunk even in ones own home,
where he who gets intoxicated NAV
be put at work upon the streets, or,
| If he refuses to work, must live on
bread and water, is Scio, village of
500 people in Linn county, Oregon.
This condition is perhaps unparal-
leled elsewhere.
Scio is in dry county. Prohibit
ton went into effect in Linn county
more than year ago and the one
saloon in Scio closed its doors. But
drunken men were still seen on the
streets. Liquor was being shipped
in by express.
The town council determined to
put an end to the matter and recently
passed an ordinance making 1t a mis-
demeanor to become intoxicated 'in
any street, house or place within the
corporate limits of Scio." Any one
convicted of violating this ordinance
may be punished by a fine of from
80 to 800 or by Imprisonment IL

or by both fine and Imprisonment.

his Imprisonment shall refuse to work

ed by ball and chain and given only

ing the time he so refuses to work"
The ordinance may be unconstitu-
tional, but it is law in scio and is en-
forced to the letter. Several men

been paid. No one has yet risked

harrass the pathetic figure in black in
the witness chair. He asked the moth
er what she knew of her sons rela-
tions with Miss Nesbit before she be-
came his wife.
Nothing" she replied without hesi-
tancy.
The district attorney seemed COM
pletely baffled and speedily brought
his cross examination to a close.
Mrs. Thaws story was deeply i'm.
pressive in its simplicity and brevity.
Her anxiety to go on and tell more
added UNNECESSARILY to the meaning
Of her presence as a witness. The
half-filled court room listened almost
breathlessly to each word she uttered
and there was a general sigh OF relief
when Mr.. jerome announced that his
brief examination had ended.
If Harry Thaw's fate is thrown into
the hands of the IL men in the jury
box who today heard the mothers
story, there seems little doubt that
what she said will carry wonderful
weight with 1t. But Mr.. Jerome gave
the impression that he might use the
mothers testimony as a weapon in an
other direction in his fight to have q
commission appointed to test the pres
ent state Of mind Of the defendant.
AWhile the elder Mrs. Thaw was on
the stand today, the district attorney
engaged in 4 wordy war with Mr.. Del

for the first time the threat OF q lun-
acy commission. Mr.. Delmas was In
voking the presumption of law that

Mrs. Thaw to state conversations with
her son during the latter year. These
conversations were admissible only on
the ground that they were the utter

reason why the assumption should not

BREAKS Down UNDER HER GRIEF,
Examination Very Brief By Both
C0unsel==-Delmas and Jerome
Again Have War of Words.

New York, March 6.-Another dra-
matte chapter was added to the his
| tory of the trial of Harry K. Thaw fol-
| the murder of Stanford White, today
when the gray haired mother of the
defendant took the witness stand tC
contribute what she might toward
saving her hayward boy from the
death danger which menaces him.
Mrs. Thaw's story before the jury was
brief. When Dolphin Delmas had
deftly limited her examination to the
change she had noted in her sons con-
dition following his return from Paris
in 1908, after Evelyn Nesbit had told
him her story, and when District At
torney Jerome had with the greatest
respect and consideration, conducted a
short and Intellectual cross examina-
ton, the mother-love welled strong in
Mrs. Thaw and she felt she hao not
done her all. She was loath to leave
the witness chair.
There is a question Of heredity,'
she protested, but both Mr.. Delmas
and Mr.. Jerome told her she might
sep down.
Il have asked you, madam, all that
is considered necessary" said Thaw's
attorney with the utmost Difference.
Mrs. Thaw half rose, hesitated and
was about to sit down again when the
leading counsel for the defence offered
her his hand to assist her from the
stand
Twice during her recital of the
events which had caused her to fear
that all was not right with her son,
Mrs. Thaw broke down and was I'M
able to proceed. Her face flushed and
she made an effort to speak, but the
words would not come. After a few
moments Justice Fitzgerald asked fe-
licitously if she felt able to proceed
and Mrs. Thaw. evidently much cha
grined that her great love had over
come her strong will of resistance.
nodded in the affirmative. She declin-
ed glass of water and made an eff
| fort once more to proceed but failed.
Justice Fitzgerald then interposed a
relief for which the elderly woman
facing him must have been deeply
grateful. He said that as many of
the witness remarks had been uttered
in very low voice it would be nee
essary to have the stenographer read
all her testimony up to that time to
the jury. When the reading was end
ed, Mrs. Thaw had regained her COM
posture and was able to proceed to
the end of her narrative.
She said that when Harry came
home in 1903 he seemed depressed and
apparently had lost all interest in life.
He passed sleepless nights. would of

until it finally died away. She told in
a motherly way of her solcitude for
the boy. The family physician was
summoned.
HE told me wicked man-prob-
ably the wickedest man in all New
York-had ruined his life"
1t was not until some time after he
had offered this explanation Of the
change in him that she learned the
story of the young woman who was
to become her daughter in-law. Mrs.
Thaw told of Harry breaking down at
church in Pittsburg and afterwards
