she was back. Even as she went, she
tossed her hair loosely on top of hel
head, as Gideon had liked it, and shot
the glittering shaft through.

Long he gazed into her face.
She kissed him on cheek and fore
head, at last lightly on the lips.
Mine! Mine for this hour!" he said
with breath Of his old passion. His
eyes grew deep and darker with their
strange, cryptic flash. "Oh, Start" he
whispered; II tried-I-" He lifted his
eyes to the ceiling and whispered

his eyes came back to her face The

stirred.

shook his head ever so little.
"Only you." His lips formed the
words she scarcely heard.
The stiffness crept on, and on, over
all the room. over the face before

that was death. Only once his lips
moved; 1t was to frame the old child

Our Debt to ChampIain.

Suicide at Albeni Falls

W. f. Kemp, boarding house keeper
at Albeni Falls, committed suicide Sun
day afternoon at 2 o'clock, by shooting
himself through the heart; Mr.. Kemp
had retired to his room, taken bath,
shaved himself, and after making all
preparations for death. laid down upon
his bed and fired the fatal shot. His
daughter, who was in another part OF
the house, heard the shot and gave the
alarm. BY the time the room was broken
into he had expired, his right hand still
clutching the revolver that ended his
life.
Mr.. Kemp was about 60 years old,
and had been resident OF this section
for about two years. He leaves wife
and three married daughters and
two sons, all. Domestic troubles
are thought to have had some
thing to do with his rash deed. "a Mrs.
Kemp had been gone from home for
some time. At noon Sunday Mr.. Kemp
received letter from her at Ode ssa,
Wash, stating that she would be home
Monday noon. He was deeply affected
by the drowning Of his little grandson
this spring, who was swept over the
falls during the high water and whose
body was not recovered, and the tragedy
may have had something 10 do with his
own tragic death.
Relatives arrived Monday and on
Tuesday noon the remains were taken
to Spokane for interment.

WILL SHOW MINERALS
Working for Exhibit at the Sc
attic Show Next Year.
Would Be Good Advertisement

W. A. Halteman, director of the
Washington mineral exhibit at the
Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposition to be
held at Seattle next year, was Newport
visitor Friday, with view to interest
ing mining men of this vicinity in the
making of an exhibit at the exposition
Mr.. Halteman is resident Of Meteor,
Ferry county, and was much interested
in SAM lies of ore from the Metaline and
Newport districts that were shown him.
Friday evening after the close of the
meeting held on the ferry proposition
Mr. Halteman addressed the gathering.
to which had come number OF mining
men, on the subject of properly showing
the mineral resources of this section at
the exposition. What is desired is
comprehensive exhibit from each mine
and prospect. Not merely samples of
ore, tut also showing of from 300 to
1000 pounds of ledge rock. Also sam
pies of wall rock to give a correct idea of
the country formation in which the
ledge is found. The state will pay the
freight charges on the exhibits.
In addition to these samples full in
formation concerning there properties is
desired, giving amount of development
work done, width of vein, general char
acter Of the property, assay values. etc.
1t is designed to make an exhibit which
will give mining men full information
corning the property, so that if inter
ested they will be induced to examine
further and visit the camps
The value of such display at this
great exposition should not be over
looked. Mining will in the future prove
one of the greatest resources of the state,
and an intelligent exhibit will do much
toward interesting outside capital.
J. II. Long was selected by the mining
men present to look after the work of
securing such exhibits from all the
mines and prospects of the Newportand
Metaline districts. In this work he
should have the cooperation of all par
ties interested, to the end that the min
eral resources of Eastern Stevens county
be given proper showing at the expo
ton.

Magic and Poison Rings.

Magic and Poison Rings.
The ring began when man thrust his
finger through hole in pretty shell
and later learned to make rings Of
jet. The ring Is very magical. Lord
Ruthven, who helped to kill Riccio,
gave Queen Mary ring which was
sovran against poison. and she gener-
ously replied with the present Of her
fathers wonderful jeweled dagger, Of
French work, no longer in existence.
Whether Ruthven fooled with this
magnificent weapon in the affair Of
Riccio or used a cheaper article is un-
certain. At all events, Mary based on
the ring that was an antidote to poi
son charge Of sorcery against Ruth
ven. The judges Of Jeanne dare re-
garded with much suspicion her little
ring Of base metal. gift from her
parents. inscribed with the sacred
names Jesus Marie.
Z 1t was usual to touch the relics Of
saints with rings. Jeanne dare said
that her ring had touched the body Of
st. Catherine, whether she meant Of
the actual saint or a relic of the saint,
brought from Sinia to Fierbois. The
ring might contain relic or later a
miniature. l fear that l do not be-
lieve in the virtues or vices Of poison
rings. Our ancestors practically knew
no poison but arsenic, and Carthagin-
ian science can scarcely have enabled
Hannibal to poison himself with a
drug contained under the stone of a
ring.-Andrew Lang.

the bitterness, the depth Of feeling or
the hysteria and fright We would have

1t is pretty hard upon the prophets,

prophecies they placed too much cou-

IN semi-official statements that Mr..
Roosevelt would not take the stump.
He may not have taken the stump,
but in belief In the absence Of hui
NOR In the American people, he has
taken the cake for success in shat

prophets, to bear in mind that hymn

For the man who would not fail;
But, lest DER facts he would fain trip

The Standard OIL Company is to-

1900 miles across the Atlantic Ocean
Tor aud cents less per gallon than
II sells this same grade for in the
United States. This policy OF the oil
trust In charging much higher prices
to the domestic than TO the foreign
trade Is robbery made possible by
the high tariff laws passed by a
Republican Congress and signed by
Republican President, II the vot-
ers Of this country would get

Of such a thing, no Congressman or

TO such an oppressive monopoly as
the Standard OIL Company. And
yet the Standard Oil Company Is moi
the only trust that is permitted, by
reason OF high tariff, to rob

tobacco trust, the steel trust, the farm
implement trust, and a host of other
trusts that are enabled to make the
American people pay more for Amer

goods are sold abroad. All these
trusts are clamorous for Taft's cleo

Publications that have fallen into
the reprehensible habit Of attempting
to make their comments on current
events printed two or three weeks
ahead Of time fit In with facts at
the date Of publication. Several Of
the magazines dated October, bat
printed in the middle Of September,
have fallen all over themselves In
this respect this time. One might
refer, for instance, to the printing,
as in one standard magazine, on
October / of a half-tone photograph
illustrating the already celebrated
scene of the reconciliation Of
Taft and Foraker" 1t would hardly
