The cut, small as it is. conveys
good idea OF the size of the building,
its lcng1h and the number of stories.
The higher portion at the left, is now
in process OF completion. When it Is

aisle through the store will be 400 feet

employees are busy every working day
In the year. They and their families
alone would constitute very respec-

During the recent holiday season.
just before Christmas, one Of the Den
yer dai1ies published a cut from a pho
toSraph, showing the 1.2S6 employees
then at work massed in group in
front of the store. 1t attracted much
attention But it would be even more
interesting II a cut could be made OF
the hundreds of thousand dollars
worth of goods that were sold over the
counters and sent out to mail order
customers during the holiday period. Il
would be hard to estimate the number
or people who visited the store in the
three weeks preceding Christmas.
and the facilities OF the splendidly
equipped mail order department wero

the giving of free railway transporta-

ployes, and said:

committee to hear arguments for and
against proposition to reduce rail-

He said he believed there Is no more
hopeful industry in the United States
than the beet sugar industry and he
favored a protective tariff to aid 1t.
He favored the establishment OF
state salt plant at the reformatory at
Hutchinson. to be worked by the in
mates of the institution.
He said the prohibitory law had been
a great success, citing the fact that
200 saloons in Kansas City alone had
recently been effectively closed and
the mayor Of that city ousted from
Office for non-enforcement OF the stat
ute.
kansas must take no backward

Hoch, who asked that additional laws

MESSAGE OF GOVERNOR GooDINc
OF IDAHO.
SAYS CASE MUST BE TRIED
Defends Action Of the State Officers
Says Their Course Has Been Ap-
proved by Both State and Fed
erai Courts.

Boise. Idaho-In his annual mes
sage to the Legislature Governor
Gooding reviews at length the legal
proceedings following the arrest OF
Harry Orchard, Steve Adams, Charles
II. Mover, William ID. Haywood and
George A. Pettibone, charged with the
assassination of former Governor
Frank Steunenberg. He deplores the
fact that many labor organizations
have criticised the action of the state
officers in taking up the prosecution,
and says:
This is a murder case, and as such
it should be tried. regardless OF the
position the accused men have occu-
uied, or may now occupy, in labor or
ganiZations. They are entitled to a
fair trial. The character OF our
courts and our citizenship ensure 1t to
them"
Governor Gooding says there is no
desire on the part of the state to put
labor organizations or the principles
underlying them on trial, or to make
war on the labor union idea. The state
is endeavoring to punish a crime OF
particularly horrible character, he
says, and he adds:
"The confession Of Harry Orchard,
which Is corroborated in large part by
the later confession Of Steve Adams,
tells a tale so full Of horror as to be
almost unbelievable
The governor states that the course
of the prosecuting officers has been ap-
proved by the state courts, the federal
District Court and the Supreme Court
of the United States, and says:
THE proceedings had. together with
all matters Of interest in the case
were the subject of strict inquiry by
the President of the United States
Honorable Theodore Roosevelt, who
acting through his personal represent
ative, the first assistant attorney gen
eral of the United States, visited
Idaho and made careful and painstak'
ing investigation of the whole matter.
He reported to the President. and MT.

LONG BOW STORIES.
Legends of the Famous Archers of the
Remote Past.

Many "long bow stories may be
cited in the literature of the world,
and by far the greater part Of them
had their origin in the remote past.
yergil, in the "4Eneid.' tells Of four
archers who were shooting for prize,
the mark being a pigeon tied by cord
to the mast of a ship. The first man
hit the mast. the second cut the cord,
and the third shot the pigeon as II
few away. The fourth archer, having
nothing left at which to shoot, drew
his bow and sent his arrow flying
toward the sky with such speed that
the friction of the air set the feathers
on fire, and 1t swept on ike a meteor
to disappear in the clouds.
That is a bow and arrow story that
tests the strongest powers Of creduifty
The stories of Robin Hoods archery.
illustrated by his wonderful perform
ance as LocksIey in SCOTS "1vanhoe,"
are also a decided strain on one's
power of belief.
The famous legend of William Tell
is believed by some TO have a founda-
ton in fact There was Dane named
Foke of whom the same story was
told. and William Of Cloudesley, an
Englishman, is said to have shot an
apple from his sons head merely to
show his skill.
The majority of bow and arrow
stories relate to the accurate aim of
the archers, but Frenchman, Blaise
de Vfgenere, tells one in which the
main point is the tremendous force
with which an arrow may be propelled
IL the bow is strong and long enough.
According to his own account of the
matter. he saw Barbarossa, Turk,
admiral of a ship called the Grand
Solyman, send IN arrow from his bow
clean through cannon ball. Whether
the cannon ball had a hole in 1T or
net he neglects TO inform us.
Perhaps the most astounding of all
stories about arrow shooting is that
of the Indians who used to inhabit
Florida. + is said that a group Of
them would form circle; one would
throw an ear of corn into the air;
the rest would shoot at it and she'll
1t of every grain before it fell to the
ground Sometimes the arrows would
strike the ear of corn so hard and fast
that it would remain suspended In the
air several minutes, and the cob never
fell until the last grain had been shot
away.--Chicago Record Herald.

Couohino In Lieu of Oratory.

A singular fashion which prevailed
among the preachers of Cromwelrs
time was that of coughing or hemming
in the middle of a sentence in order
to attract the attention of the con-
gregation. The necessity of continually
attracting the attention of the listeners
could not have argued well for the
brilliance OF the sermons. Some au-
thorities say that the preachers coughed
merely as an ornament to speech. AT
any rate, when the sermons We're print
ed, as many of them were, the coughs
and hens We're always indicated on
the margin of the page.-St. Louis Re-
