\ BUSINESS HIGH SCHOOL
What is greatly needed in this
city is Business High School.
The smattering Of business inform
alton or training that our boys and
girls receive III the Armstrong
Manual Training School is not suf-
hcient to warrant them to apply
for a clerkship OF anything else in
a business establishment in this city
or elsewhere. 1t is surprising to
see how little our boys and girls
know after they leave school.
A good business high school, un-
der the supervision or principal
ship OF Mr.. w. H. Davis would
certainly be helpful to our boys
and girls The Bee respectfully
suggests to Superintendent Bruce
to recommend to the Board of Ed
ucatiOn the establishment of a bus
iress high school.

by always keeping abreast OF the
times, know that a good many rail-
road men in the cities are out of
work, and every "bo" that comes
along Us a railroad man that has been
let out some place. The men are
well on to the game. however, and
the tramps are given the icy stare.

DEATH TOAST
OF A DESPONDENT FARMER
DRANK IN CARBOIIC ACID.
Dramatic Entrance Into Eternity Pre-.
faced by Burning All of His
Money in Crate.

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 27.-"Here's
to my life," was the toast of death
drunk in carbolic acid by Henry
Knauss, a farmer, who lived nine
miles west of Mason, Mich. Knauss
prefaced this dramatic entrance into
eternity by throwing 500 in bills
into an open CRATE, where he watched
it until it was destroyed. Whatever
regrets he may have had over his life
did not weigh very long on his mind,
for in 10 minutes he was dead.
Knauss separated from his wife
four years ago. Since then he had
brooded over his troubles. 1t is be-
lieved that remorse for his alleged
harshness toward her led him to take
his life.

where socialism, as "a christian

MAKES CHARGE OF RAPE
Julienne MyIIe Lodged Charge Against Al
Church, and Skips Out Same Night

Julienne Mylle, who has conducted
the Big Rock restaurant here for the
past two months, made a complaint
before Judge Taylor on Monday morn
ing, charging Al Church with the
crime of attempting rape. Prosecut-
ing Attorney Grass was notified, and
came up from the county seat on the
night train. 1t now appears that Mrs.
Mylle left town on the same train on
which Mr.. Grass arrived.
Church promptly gave bond fot his
appearance. AS the complaining wit
ness left for parts unknown, it is not
likely that the prosecution of the
charge will be pressed.

Editor SWEET Is Wise
According to the Index News S

According to the Index News some
cold, heartless female woman has been
trying to lure Editor SWEET of the Sui
tan Star from his happy home, and in
viggle" him in the tolls of matrimony.
But he is old, if not in years, then in
the wicked wiles OF the world, and he
is wary. Like those wife-hunting ad-
venturers from Europe, he wants pre-
nuptial settlement. Hear how philo-
sophically he discourses upon matri-
mony:
Now, our most potent reason for
not committing matrimony is not from
a lack of opportunity, but from sheer
determination to wait until we are GER
tain that we have found our affinity.
No young woman realizes the awful
responsibility she takes upon herself
when she tears an innocent, confiding
young man from the bosom of his
family, from the tender influences of
his home circle, and leads him to the
altar. She does not realize the effect
this sundering of the tender ties of
home love may have upon the suscep-
tibilities of young man, and conse-
quently no woman should think of
marrying any young man until she is
confident she is able to support him in
the style to which he has been accus-
toned. Any proposals, accompanied
by statement of the appurtenances
thereto belonging, will be received and
regarded as strictly confidential"

Resolutions by the Ladies' Aid N. E. Church

Whereas, 1t has seemed best in the
wisdom Of Almighty God to take from
life's duties and activities to her home
in the Heavenly Kingdom the beloved
wife of Brother E. B. Norell; there
fore, be it
Resolved, By the officers and mem
bers of the Ladies' Aid of the M. E.
church OF Leavenworth, that in the
death of Carrie Norell the bereaved
companion and children have lost an
affectionate and devoted wife, fond
and indulgent mother, and in this hour
of bereavement we tender to them our
heartfelt sympathy in the loss we have
all sustained; and
Resolved, further, That we express
our deep appreciation of the services
rendered by our departed sister, Mrs.
Carrie Norell to the cause Of Christ and
His church. We recognized in her a
woman of rare intellectual attainments,
of deep spiritual insight, of intense love
for Christ and humanity, a devoted
wife and mother.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
placed upon the minutes of our Soci-
ETY., a copy sent to the sorowing COM
panion, and copy given to the Leav-
enworth Echo for publication.

Such is declared to be the purpose
of the people of Okanogan county.
The service in that county has long
been unsatisfactory. The Pacific States,
or Bell, Telephone company, has long
occupied the field to the exclusion of
other companies that might have given
the people better service.
The same condition prevails right
here. The service rendered to the
public is intolerable. Why people
stand the outrageous treatment is past
understanding. About one-half the
time the line is out OF order, and the
other half its service is poor.
If concerted action could be had,
and all the patrons would order their
phones out, or agree for a term of
years to give their patronage to some
new concern, perhaps the service
would be improved.

The social given by the Ladies' Aid

crowd filled the house, and a good

usual.
The special meetings conducted by
the pastor at the Chumstick school
house this week are being largely at
tended, and are productive of much
good. This (Friday) evening sleigh
