The United States Supreme
Court has reversed the decision OF
the Circuit Court of Appeals in the
famous Dick case and now license
viii no longer be granted to sell
liquor within the present boundaries
of the former Nezperce Indian res
ervation. The Supreme Court is, of
course. not lawmaking body but
simply passes upon the legality Of
the laws that have been made and
their decision on this no doubt is in
accordance with the treaty and the
Law, and there is nothing left to do
but to obey the law regardless of
whether it viii be benefit or de-
triment to the section of the country
effected. Reviewing the conditions
of the past at this place the Herald
can see but little to be gained for US
here sy the decision. No one can
deny that the conditions have been
at least 100 per cent better since We
have had licensed saloons in moral
way besides the benefits the town
and school have received from the
license. The Herald dose not
near to say that the country would
be better Of or that it would be
worse of if the sale or manufacture
Of liquor was stopped completely,
but to say it is unlawful to sell in
4 small territory when they are sell
ng all around is only an invitation
or a certain class of people to be-
;cme lawbreakers. As far as this
decision stopping the sale of liquor
IN Nezperce prairie it will not be
lone twill however limit the sale
o some extent and too it will assist
. ming our prisons With lawbreak-
IS. The intention of those who
made this Law in the FIRST place may
ave been good but the results from
asst experience have been very IN
satisfactory. Thsre are many
eople who will take chances on
heir liberty for short time for the
axe of making a few dollars and
ne more Of this class of people that
country has the worse it is for the
ountry and when it comes to prose-
uting these lavbreakers many
eople want to see the law upheld
ut want the other fellow to take the
.sponsibility Of prosecuting them.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR EYES.

ayes are among the most
important parts of your body
and should be well taken care or.
Good eyesight Is a great blessing. Here
are soue suggestions that should be
needed, not only by young people, but
by adults as we'll. Never read with
your head down; always sit up as
straight as possible. 1t Is to fnd
a comfortable position without leaning
forward. If you lean forward. with
your head hanging down or inclined
forward. more blood will flow into your
eyes thar will be good for them. Don't
read facing a light; let the light come
over one Of your shoulders, preferably
the left, because. then the hands are
never in the way. of the light, either in
reading or in writing. Never read in
bed; sooner or later that would serious
~ affect your sight. Besides, you
should not go to bed until the time has
come to go to sleep. Always stop read
ing when your eyes feel tired, especially
at night. If 1t is necessary that you
should use you eyes at night, give them
rest often. Use glasses the day you
find you need them, but let a competent
oculist decide the matter for you, and
he will also instruct you as to the right
lenses for o to get.

Nv Dear Miss Doom:

My Dear Miss Doom
For some time ! have been going with
a young man of 90. I am Is. He wants
me to run ava and be married on the
sly and not let anybody n about it
for a long time. He wants me to do
this to prove that I love him, and says
he will not believe l love him unless
do. Now, Miss Doom, l would not dare
to do this, as my father has a dreadful
temper and I do not know what he
would do If he found it out. He would
probably put me out of the house. I
love this young man. and mi bear
to give him up, but he says II 1 will
not marry him it is a sign l am not in
love with him. Please tell me what
to do. ANXIOUS.
You are very sensible, and l trust
you will continue to be so. IL you mar
ry him secretly you will regret it all
your life. Remember, it is no small
thing to lose the regard of ones par
ents. Don't worry abou losing him.
If he loves you one-half as much as he
says he does he will be only too glad
to wait for you If you show him that
you mean what you say about not mar
rying right away. Do not do anything
for which you would be sorry.

One Way to Keep Young.

The way to ward off old age Is not
to fear it, not to allow ones self to be
oppressed by the dread Of advancing
years.
Use only. Legitimate ~preyentives and
avoid trying experiments with prep
arations not endorsed by physicians.
clans. .
Do not wear toilets intended for
young girls. They only add years to
the appearance. Keep your interest In
the young, but do not envy them. Re-
tire with dignity from the struggle;
do not pose as your daughters rival.
Above all, surround you life with
sweetness, true affection, which pre-
vents the heart from growing bitter.
Do not lose interest in the growing
events of the day; do not fall behind
the times. and do not harp on other
and better days. To those h come
to you for advice be always kind and
sympathetic.
As you advance In years preserve
carefully your personal appearance,
for once lost it may not be ~regained
save by strenuous effort. +
Last of all. your costume should be
simple and unpretentious, yet graceful.
These rules, carefully and sensibly
followed, will keep you young and at

vate Hotel, and 1 hung about all day,
but he never came out. l fancy that
he suspected something when Drebber
failed to put in an appearance. He
was cunning, was ~Stangerson and al
ways on his guard. If he thought he
could keep me off by staying indoors
he was very much mistaken. I soon
found out which was the window Of
his bedroom, and early next morning
l ook advantage of some ladders which
were lying in the lane behind the hotel.
and so made my way into his room In
the gray OF the dawn. I woke him up.
and told him that the hour had come
when he was to answer for the life he
had taken so long before. l described
Drebber's death to him, and I CAV
him the same choice of the poisoned
pills. Instead of grasping at the chance
of safety which that offered him, he
sprung from hrs bed and Jew at my
throat. In self-defense | stabbed him
to the heart. 1t would rave been the
same in any case, for Providence would
never have allowed his guilty hand to
pick out anything but the poison.

story, gentlemen. You may consider
me to be a murderer; but I hold that l
am just as much an officer of justice
as you are"
So thrilling had the mans narrative
been, and his manner was so impress
sive, that we had sat. silent and abb
sorbed. Even the professional detec-
tives, blase as they were in every de-
tail of crime, appeared,to be keenly in

finished we sat for some minutes in a

A WORD ABOUT THE
NEW STYLE SKIRTS

Everybody may observe the new
skirts lofty aspirations in the waistline
and the clinging fondness wherewith 1t
enwraps the limbs. But two other
points not so discernable to mere OBJ
servers are the soft silk lining that runs
from the belt well down below the hips
and the deep velvet facing inside the
lower edge.
The silk lining means that not petit
coats. but silk boomers, are to be worn
with this skirt, and the velvet facing, Is
to give the long soft folds of the skirt
body enough to keep them in place. And
this facing is most elegant when it
matches some trimming on waist or
coat-as on a handsome black costume.
where every swish of the skirt gave
peep of a black-and-white striped vel
vet facing matching the waistcoat.

To Keep Porcelain Sinks White.

Once a week, after the sink has beer
left for tie night, dampen it and put a
thin coating Of potash over the sur
face. This will remove all yellow or
dark stains, but be careful not to
allow the potash to get on the hands,
and remove 1t from the sink before
any one gets to 1t in the morning, as
the potash is poison.
The same treatment would, Of course,
apply to porcelain tubs also.
Potash should be used frequently In
the drain pipes Of set tubs. bathtubs,
set bowls and water closets. 1t cleans
them thoroughly, and often eats away
accumulations that in time would cause
a stoppage.

cHAPTER VII.


WwTE had all been warned to appear

day came there was mo occasion for
our testimony. A higher Judge had
taken the matter in hand, and Jeffer-

a tribunal where strict justice would.
be melted out to him.. On the very
night after his capture the aneurism
burst, and he was found in the morn
ing stretched upon the floor of the cell.
with a. placid smile upon his face, as
though he had been able in his dying
moments to look back upon a useful
life and on work we'll done. !.

we chatted it over next evening.
Where will their grand advertisement

~ don't see that they had very much
to do with his capture I answered.
What you do in this world Is q
matter of no consequence" returned
my companion, bitterly. "The question
is, what can you maket people believe
that you have done? Never mind" he
continued, more brightly. after a pause,

CATION for anything. There has been
no better case within, my recollection. /
Simple as 1t was, there were several
most instructive points about it."
"SimpIe!' L calculated.
"WelI, really, it can hardly be de-
scrlbed as otherwise said Sherlock
Holmes, smiling at my surprise. 1.-THE !
proof of it's intrinsic simplicity IS that
without any help. save q few very ordi-
nary deductions, l was able to lay my
hand up the criminal within three
days"
THAT is true" said I.
~ have already explained to o
that what is out of the common Is
usually a guide rather than a bin

sort, the grand thing Is to be able to
reason backward. That Is a very use

one. but People dc not practise 1t much.
In sle everyday affairs of life 1t is
more useful 70 reason forward, Inc SO
the other comes to be neglected. There
are fifty who can reason synthetically
for one who can reason analytically."

quite follow you
II hardly expected that you would.
Let me see If l can make it clear. Most
people, IL you describes train of events

would be. They a put these events
together in their minds, n argue
from them that something will come to
