Theme
for
Children
BY Maxim Gorky.

Every man has stain upon his
Conscience. l am no exception. But
tie majority look at these adorn-
.pets very simply; they wear them
rS lightly as starched shirts. But
for me l never wear such shirts,
snd probably for that cause feel my
ttain very uncomfortable. In one
world wish to confess.
/ do not confess merely because l
have no other agreea BILE recreations
In my life, or because confession Is
the only way in which l can attract
the attention of others; do not en-
ter into condolences because 1t gives
me an opportunity to expose my
virtues. Not at all. ! am not guild
cd by any one of those motives which
usually impel men to public confess
Ion. | confess only because l feel
the time has come. And so | have
taken up my pen with the intention
Of using 1t as brush for the cleans
ing of my soul from that dark stain
which has panied me for years.
1t all began on merry May day,
when, walking up the street, met
q schoolgirl known to me. Her name
was Lisotchka she had merry hazel
eyes-though now they were sad;
rosy, clear-cut, animated face-now
pale and deadly; walk like birds
fiight--now she could barely move n
foot.
"Lisotchka. how dye do? May I
ask after the health of your dolls?"
l forgot to mention the class she
was in. 1t was the fourth. loved
TO play with her dolls; after relations
With men such play revives and ami
mates.
Good morning." answered Lisot-
chka; and in her voice l heard tears.
What Is the matter?" / asked in
alarm. l confess / loved her; and
she returned my love with the force
and passion of her twelve summers.
was myself then only fifty-three.
"They-they have again-set-
composition" she said through her
tears.
"A composition? Is the theme so
said that even before writing It
makes you cry.?"
She smiled.
Yes. You are all right. You are
rat forced to write compositions!"
Alas, Lisotchka. l am. Only you
forced by your master, and by
rcumstanceR We wont cay which
ia worse of. But don't cry; will
write your composition. What is the
theme?"
Water, its Importance in Ma
ture and In Human Life Write It!
Dear! Get me f1ve marks!"
Il will try!"

DE.LOCRATS ENDORSE
SPLAWN AS CANDIDATE
FOR GOVERNORSHIF
Convention Will Meet In Nortl,
Yakima With % Delegates
From the County.

The Democratic county committee
Saturday endorsed A. j. Splawn for
governor, set the date for the county
primaries as May 8, the convention
to be held In North Yakima, and de-
cided to elect IS delegates for the
convention.
The Democrats of this county hope
to send at least one delegate to the
national convention, which will be
held in Denver, but there was no in.
timation as to what presidential pos
sibility will be favored by the Yaki-
ma Democrats.
a. J. Splawn acted as chairman
and Floyd Hatfield as secretary Sat-
urday. The polling will start at Q
o'clock in the county precincts and
in the city will continue from 1880
to 9 o'clock at the primaries.
The name of A. j. Splawn was met
with enthusiasm and the Democrats
were unanimous in their endorsement
of him as gubernatorial candidate.
Local Democrats, in fact, are rather
confident that the grand old pioneer
of central Washington will make a
decidedly strong run for the COVER
norship.

Horse Show Brings to End Long
Separation Between Members
of u Yakima Family.

The horse show here Saturday
brought together mother and daught-
er who had been separated for the
last three years. This meeting was
by no means happy one, as Violet
Fisher the daughter. had been forced
TO leave home and has been depend
ent upon her brother George for her
support for the last three years.
Mrs. Monty was divorced from her
first husband some years ago in Wis
eonsin. She then moved west to
Washington, settling in the Ahtanum
valley. where she met and married a
Mexican by the name of Monty.
Shortly after she and her children
had gone into the home of her sec
ond husband Violet claims that this
man Monty tried to enter into her
life and continued to torture her un-
til she was compelled to leave home
for her own protection. When she
left home her brother, who is few
years older than she, left also. and
together they went down the valley
until they came 10 Meyers ranch,
where they obtained home. Violet
Fisher has been living there for the
past three years, going TO school and
helping Mrs Meyers with work after
school was out. George Fisher, after
staying there for day or two, start

on one or the neighboring ranches.
He has been working in the neighbor-
hood ever since, keeping his sister in
clothes and helping her TO go through

home three years ago. The mother
tried TO make the girl go home with

do so the mother tried 10 use main
force. and then the brother stepped
In and took Violet under his care.
BY this time large crowd had gath
cred and the police had arrived on
the scene and had been taken TO the
station, where the girl told the story
how Monty had tried 10 ruin her and
that her mother had in no way tried

PRISONER IS DISCHARGED
IN COURT OF JUDGE
LUHMAN ON MONDAY
Rather Warm Time Develops In
Wordy War Between CHIEF Stlert
And Attorney.

The first to be arrested under the
new license law is Louis Stephenson,
who appeared in Judge Humans
court Monday charged with peddling
without license and was discharged
by the court because no complaint
had been issued.
Stephenson was selling small pant
fasteners which retailed at about Is
cents apiece and declares he will con-
tinue to sell them without a license.
The case is OF unusual interest be-
cause the new ordinance effects prac-
tically every line of business in the
city and should ii eventually be
thrown out of a high court will be
of permanent interest in the powers
vested in municipality to place n
license on certain classes of people.
Attorney w. M. Thompson APP
peared for Stephenson and followed
a rather stirring argument between
the attorney and Chief Of Police Nels
Short. the attorney declaring that
the police often Overstepped the
mark and devoted too much of their
attention to arresting men without
means. Thompson said he did not
intend to collect any fee from the
$ls5 which summed up the prison
er's financial responsibilities, but
rather appeared in the interests of
humanity. Chief Short took excep-
tons to several of the attorneys re-
marks. and there threatened to be q
small riot in the court room when
the attorney told Stephenson to put
on his hat and leave ana the ehief
told the man to stay. At this juncture
a change of venue was requested
Finding there was NO complaint. the
attorney asked for the prisoners dis
charge on this ground and the dis
charge was made. Stephenson states
he will continue with his peddline
today and hopes to secure enough
funds to put up a fight against the
ordinance.

ANOTHER FIRE.
T0pPEnlSH AGAIN VISITED
BY DISASTROUS CONFEDERATION
Entire Row Destroyed and Cause
Seems to BE Unknown In
That City.

TOPPENISH, April 12.-The fire
which again visited Toppenish early
this morning was found to be beyond
control when discovered, at 1880.
The flames were then bursting from
Brown Bros general store and be-
fore the chemical engine could be
gotten on the rgounds the fire had
communicated to the adjoining build
ings. Then, in less than three-quar-
ters Of an hour, 1t licked up the dry
frame structures for an entire block
fronting on First street. Brown
Bros store was situated in the CEN
ter of the block and the flames
spread both ways with remarkable
rapidity. Although the large crowd
which soon gathered was able to save
much of the saloon fixtures and stock,
the loss will run up to between $780,
600 and $4,000.
The buildings burned, with approx
innate loss and insurance, are: Brown
Bros, general store, loss $4,000;
Rhodes & White, saloon. loss $4,000;
Keylon & Kimball, saloon and pool
room. loss $4,000: Swan Erickson,
saloon, loss 100000; c. NJ. Brink,
saloon, loss $4,000; Dolph Gamut,
loss on barber shop. $500; empty
building owned by Frank Gumpure,
$4,000; total insurance, approximate
ly $4,000.
This Is the second time within the
last six months that fire has practi-
cally destroyed this block and Erick-
son. Brink and Keylon had Just re-
built and stocked their buildings.

who told Mrs. Monty, after hearing
the story. that she would have to
start proceedings in court to get her
daughter back.
When the daughter and mother
parted the mother asked Violet to
kiss her goodbye, but Violet replied:
Mother, couldn't do that, as you
have not done the right thing by me /:
but will shake hands with you"
Chief Short has taken the girl in
charge and will see that she is pro-
vided for until Mrs. Monty has taken
some action.
