of health has received a communica-
tlon from Payson. Utah. stating that

WHY PUNISH THIS MAN THAwi

The "Herald-Republican" takes
a peculiar view of the Thaw case.
That paper of hyphenated title SAYS:

tried him, Thaw is probably as sane
as the average resident of New York.
His answers to Mr., Jerome could not
have come from a mind unbalanced

now. But no one will pretend that he

representing clyilization-and that is
what courts should do-can say that

no justification for wilful slaying

justified In killing White. although
the man had invaded his home by

performed why say chat the slayer

THE BUM GLARED AT THE HAN oRGAN
the act, for he stepped boldly across
Wall street and entered a great granite
building.
His personal valuation was material
~ deprecated when he was summarily
elected not two minutes later by a
functionary in servile blue and many
brass buttons.
"Beggars not allowed" he snarled,
pointing to a framed sign hanging in
the corridor.
But the Bum had a mission to per-
form, regardless of unfeeling bouncers.
He went away for awhile, came back
and stood gazing YEARLY at the debo-
nair beings swinging In and out Of the
big building u~nrestrained, while they

Upon him from the superior heights Of

Of grand opera had long since passed
but n reminder of Its glories In the
form of an aria loaded hurdy gurdy
manipulated by a vigorous, swarthy
Italian, was pang-panging something
from la Sonnambula." The machine
was crushing away In hard, metallic
precision and with the courage and
confidence of a five thousand dollar
a night prima donna.
The Bum, persplring and asleep In a
loppy mass on the end of a bench In
Paradise park, awoke with such a start
that several of the perpetual sons of
rest near by were visibly alarmed.
Some of them moved away hurriedly.
But the Buns movement proved not
menacing. He merely shook himself,
listened a moment, glared at the hand
organ In no pleasant mood and shuf1ed
away in the direction of Chatham
square.
The hurdy gurdy, as If with mali
cious intent, moved also and right at
his heels broke into something sturdy

times SO indistinct that 1t was almost

passed out and down the street.
And a new light shone pitifully from
his deeply sunken dark eyes.
On he went, travelling a little more
than a mile-the mile that was destined
to prove the most momentous OF his
life. He hesitated not until he caught
a glimpse through the canyon-like street
of his objective point. Then he felt a
bit uncertain.
Scarcely knowing what he vas doing
and perhaps from a long established
habit of leaning against things for sup
port, he reached out a hand and rested
it for a moment against that mountain
of strength, the subtreasury. New en-

Bum.
"By heavens, you shall never leave
this room except to come home to us!"
Higginson was a man of strong ma
ture. He vas thoroughly aroused and
was speaking forcefully. He could not
allow the Bum to return to his misery.

Higginson broke into a torrent of
Implications. Long, earnestly, he plead
ed. The Bum held out tenaciously.
Then, little by little, he commenced to
give way until he found himself as
powerless to resist the strong love of
the insistent man as he had been to
stay the desire that turned his foot
steps in the direction of Wall street.
Higginson saw the Bum was weak
ening and in desperation made his
last attack.
"Jim"-his voice was heart reaching
In its tenderness-"you couldn't have
the heart to forsake US again just
when we're-when we're expecting a
little chap we've already named Jim?'
There was a long silence.
The logged look in the BUNS eyes
slowly disappeared. They became over
cast with moisture. He reached a
hand to Higginson, which Higginson
did not now ignore.
"Ill go home with you," he said.
The offices of Higginson, Matthews
& Pollock were located in n of those
modern structures that afford tenants
every convenience. A luxurious bath
room was one of the attachments, and
1t was here that the first move was
made toward the outward transforma-
ton of the Bum. Merely a bath and
clean linen have materially assisted
many a bum on his way toward refor-
nation. And Higginson's valet was a
host within himself In the matter Of
grooming.
James Harvey Pierson surveyed HIM
self In the long mirror and for the first
time In the five years of his self exile
smiled happily into his own eyes, not
so much in satisfaction with his i'm
proved appearance as with newly
awakened hope and the anticipation
of going home and to those who were
longing to greet him.
He forgot for the moment that DESC
late day when, with fortune irretrieva-
bly, swept away, he had voluntarily
chosen complete isolation. For the mo-
ment also the bitter years that fol
lowed faded from his memory.
"By jingo!" exclaimed the delighted
Higginson as Pierson emerged to view.
Man alive, you look as well as any
body. All you need is a little bracing
up and filing out and somebody to put
new heart into you, and l guess it
won't be long before your heart will
be all right" he added, with a signih-
cant wink.

THE KIRMESs.

Grand production to be given in
Aberdeen by amateur performers on
December and 8, for the benefit OF
the Aberdeen public library.
Rehearsals are now under way for
an elaborate production of the kir-
mess in Aberdeen early next month,
over three hundred people will take
part and it will undoubtedly be the
largest theatrical undertaking ever
given on the Harbor The proceeds
are to go to the library, and this
probably accounts more than any
thing else for the intense interest
interest which is being manifested
Director AgOstini, who teaches the
intricate steps and Mr.. Lynwood, the
musical director have been working
hard for the past two weeks and
about six of the ten features which
make up the kirmess are now per-
feet.
The chaperOnes number the most
prominent women in Aberdeen which
in itself would ensure the success OF
the venture. 1t is expected that on
both evenings a goodly number OF
Hoquiam society will accept this OPP
portunity of witnessing the greatest
local talent show that has ever been
played in this vicinity, and probably
the greatest that will be played for
some time to come-the kirmess.
