Little by little he began to compre-
bend its purport-that his resignation
was regretfully requested by the gov
errors of the Lenox club for reasons
unassigned.
The shock of the thing came to him
after awhile like a distant, dull report
long after the flash of the explosion.
| Well, the affair, bad enough at first,
was turning worse, that was all. How
much of that sort of discredit could a
man stand and keep his balance? And
what would his mother say?
Confused from his own physical suf-
fering, the blow had fallen with a
deadened force On nerves already
numbed, but his half stupefied acqui-
escence had suddenly become a pain
! full recoil when he remembered where
the brunt of the disgrace would fall,
where the center of suffering must al
ways be and the keenest grief conccn-
trated. Reused, appalled,, almost total
| ly unnerved, he stood staring at the
letter, beginning to realize what it
would mean to his mother A passion
of remorSe and resentment swept him.
She must be spared that! There must
be some way, some punishment for his
offense, that could not strike her
contemplate, insane, to strike her.
What were the governors of the Lenox
about, a lot of sniveling hypocrites,
pandering to the Mortified snobbery at
the PATRONS? Who were they, any
way, to discipline him? Scarce one
in fifty among the members of the two
clubs was qualified to sit in judgment
on a Siward!
But that tempest of passion and NOR
LITIGATION passed, too, leaving him
standing there dumb, desperate, star
| ing at the letter crushed in his shaking
hand.

He sprang to the door and opened
it. Quarter, passing the corridor,
turned an expressionless visage toward
him and passed on, with a nod almost
imperceptible.
"Quarrierp' he called, swept by q
sudden impulse.
Quarter halted and turned.
"Could you give me a moment here
in my room? 1 won't detain you."
The faint trace of surprise faded
from Quarters face. He quietly re-
traced his steps and, entering Siward's
room, stood silently confronting its
pallid tenant.
''Will you sit down q moment?"
Quarter seated himself in the arm
chair by the window, and Siward
found chair opposite.

Haener Up For BoOtlegging.

Amile Haener, who has been
conducting a drug and grocery
store at Ferdinand for the past
several months, was arrested late
last week by Special Detective
Joseph Matulys on a charge of
introducing liquor on the reser-
walton and was taken to Lewis
ton where he was given a hear
ing and bound over to the federal
court under $1,000 bonds, which
he furnished and was released.
Haener was formerly engaged
in the saloon business at Ferdi-
nand but quit when all of the
saloons were closed on the reser-
walton. He later purchased a
small drug store there and added
a stock of groceries and has been
doing a nice business. 1t was
claimed by some that he was also
handling liquor and information
to this effect was evidently. filed
with the special agents.
When the detective appeared
he found only a jug of alcohol
and some bitters, part of the

borne a good reputation and

he has resided for a number Of

Young Lady Kills a Deer.

Last Sunday witnessed an ex-
citing deer hunt on the south
side of the river just above the
tunnel. Miss Lettie Brown and
her mother, Mrs. Josephine
Brown, accompanied by John
Holt, Frank and Ed Brammer,
Lloyd Campbell and Ed Short
were members of the party. A
fine deer was started from the
breaks on the south side by the
gentlemen of the party and in it's
flight it made for the river and
bounded in and commenced to
swim for the south bank. Miss
Brown and her mother, accom-
panied by John Holt were sta
toned in a boat on the water and
on the appearance of the deer,
all commenced to shoot, with the
result that his deershlp was killed
before reaching the opposite
bank of the river. An examina-
ton of the deer disclosed the fact
that the shot that killed the
animal came from the gun Of
Miss Brown, who is justly proud
of her trophy. -Orofno Tribune.

EXHIBIT AT ALBUoUERQUE

Once more attention is called to the matter of the valleys exhibit at Albuquerque. The secretaries of the boards of trade and chamber of com merce in the valley towns must have the cooperation of the farmers and business men if they make a credit able exhibit and they must have it right now for the time is getting short. These men are working hard and doing their part well, with the facilities at hand, but they haven't time to go out into the fields to steal pumpkins and watermelons to place on exhibition, nor have they fortunes with which to pay the necessary ex- penses of gathering the exhibit to- gether. The respective boards have made such allowances as they thought they were able to and the rest must depend upon the people.
 There will be some hundreds of eX- cursionists brought to the valley by means of this exhibit, if it is what it should be, and some of them will certainly come again, perhaps to locate. Aside from the matter of community pride and aside from the debt of gratitude to the reclamation service that the valley can pay in part by making a good exhibit at Albuquerque, the project is believed by the broadest men in the commun- ity, to be a practical business invest ment that will bring large returns.

When Taft Was a Poet.

Very few persons know that Secre- tary Taft has ever whitten poetry. Most people have an idea that a poet is a lean, long-haired creature who looks as if he had lost his last friend. The genial republican nominee appears too well fed to be rider of the steed Pegasus. But
 Once, before the world had heard about AIr Taft, he made a visit to the home of a favorite aunt in Iowa, who knew not of his courtship of themuse. When he had told his beloved relative ''how all the folks were" and answered her one hundred and one questions, and dined with especial attention to the fatted calf, he proudly took from his pocket a couple of clippings from the newspapers which had printed his soul songs" He admits the verses were clever.
 The aunt of the future great states man read them diligently.
 Well" she said, simply, do they print those things for nothing if you send them in?"

VALLEY FLOUR MILLS.
Arizona republican., 1908-08-28

"Of the Kansas City bankers who expressed themselves at all, three fourths are in favor of the bank guaranty plan" said MT. Bryan in Topeka yesterday. The inference is that the bankers favor. it, that the plan is popular with them. It would be interesting to know how many of the whole number of them expressed themselves, and that part of the in formation MT. Bryan did not divulge. MT. Taft's contention is that the plan proposed puts premium on reckless banking, that, relieved of responsibil- ity to and fear of depositors, the tendency will be to induce exploita- tion, manipulation and the use of the assets of banks in a speculative way. It would promote speculation at the expense of fellow bankers and that ultimately means at the expense of the depositors. The democratic plat form provides for enforced insurance which compels all national banks to contribute to the insurance funds to meet the defaults of speculators." It may be added that if there was any center of financial speculation where the banks went to wreck and ruin last year during the panic it was that same Kansas City that MT. Bryan now points to with pride. If ever the bankers were hunting for cover anywhere it was in Kansas City last fall. If MT. Taft chooses to, he can do some pointing him self.

MT Taft has indicated that he does not propose to talk the Ameri- can people to death during the cam paign all of which is very good and which fact alone should make him many votes. It is suggested, how ever, that he would do well to se- cure a more volubIe corps of press agents for his modesty is proving Mir. Bryans opportunity. The lat ter is clever advertiser and has managed thus far in the campaign to get about two columns of free publicity to one for MT. Taft. Of course the latter's views are run as pure reading matter while Mir. Bry- ans is mainly display and buncombe, but lot of people do their thinking with their eyes instead of their brains, and it is just as well for MT. Taft not to overlook anything.

The Russian government is illogical in some of its methods. It sends to prison men who have in their posses sion certain of Tolstoi's writings, mo- tably those in which he denounces military service as a sin. At the same time it does not lay a finger on the author of the pamphlets it con- demns. It does not seize copies he says he has in his possession and of fers for sale.

trees and outbuildings and rush them
down to a cataract over a dam breast
a short distance below. where they
were shattered into bits by the force
of the current.
Several times the trees in which the
men were seated were struck by tim

and II was all they could do to hang
fast. All this time 500 friends. who
had attended a regatta. stood on the
shore not so yards away, but could do
nothing TO help the marooned men, as
the boats had been carried away and

waters.
One Of the victims was Samuel w.

exhausted from the trying ordeal
when the stream finally receded and
they were rescued. But for the aid of
his son, Harry Wilson, <ho had
climbed up the tree with him. the

The other flood victims were Barton
