The Mark of the Beast.

o beer called on watch by Blake
until long after midnight, he had soon
fallen asleep at his post and permitted
the fire to die out. Shortly before
dawn, Blake was reused by a pack of
jackals, snarling and quarreling over
the half-dried $ qfowl. To cl arge
upon the thieves and put them to
flight with a few blows of his club
took but a moment. Yet daylight
showed more than half the drying
frames empty.
blake was staring glumly at them,
with his broad back to Winthrope,
when Miss Leslie appeared. The sud

Miss Leslie raised the skirt in her
outstretched hands. Behind 1t her
face became white as the cloth. ,
"Well?" demanded Blake soberly,
though his eyes were twinkling. e
You forget the fever she retorted
mockingly, and Blake failed to catch

Say, you've got me there!" he ad-
mitted. Just pass over your flag, and
scrape up some grub. I'll be breaking
out a big bamboo. There are plenty
of holes and loose stones on the cliff.
Well have the signal up before noon"
Miss Leslie murmured her thanks,

every vote cast in his home district.
Mr. McCleskey is "a years of age, and
his wife 70. They have ten living chill

the happy occasion.

neer citizens. He came here when the
Indians roamed the forests, and he has
been an important factor in the devel-
opment and growth of the county along
all lines He has represented the county
in the legislature two terms, and filed
many important offices which required
honesty and good judgment. esquire"
McCleskey, as he is familiarly known,
has lived life worthy of example by
the youth OF our land. By industry
honesty and strict sobriety, his life has
been success. He is strict member
of the Methodist church, and on preach
ing day, at the little country church
which he attends, he can always be
found in his place
May the happy old couple live to see
many more reunions.

mentioning the ways in which mothers
ban improve the relations between
teachers and pupils, and parents. How
be health of children can be watched
Ever, their lunches be made wholesome
And appetizing, and their clothing suit
able for use rather than adornmeht.
Also, how mothers can assist in adding
books to the library aud in identifying
the grounds. ------,-
Col w. r. Power followed in a talk
on the value of sympathy between
parents and teachers.
Miss Lola Lou Smith, teacher of Eng
fish, took up this same topic of CO.
operation between parents and teach
ers, and said personal visits of mothers
to the school would result in better
understanding of what teachers we're
doing for their pupils. She urged the
importance OF children studying at
home, although mothers should not be
expected to do the teachers work.
Also, she said mothers could see that
children die more conscientious work.
The club WAS organized with Mrs. l..
b. Robson, president; Mrs. John Aw-
trey, vice-president; Mrs. D. @. Cole,
secretary Mrs. E. L. Faw, treasurer.

MUSIC in THE PARK.

Marietta is q summer-home city-not
q "resort'-snd the band that plays in
the park on these beautiful nights is
composed of native musicians. They
are playing for homefolks, and the
sweetness of their notes could not be
equalled by any imported graduates of
foreign musical Conservatives.
AS the moon comes up or the electric
buds blossom into light the band be.
gins to play, and people come from all
directions to sit on the benches under
the trees and enjoy the music; also
the pleasant breezes and that honey
comfort as when all the family crowds
around the piano. keeping time to the
song or joining in the chorus.
No matter how strenuous the days
work has been, how fierce the heat, or
how difficult of solution the various
problems presented, when the sun goes
down there comes the gentler side of all
things, and even the insistent katy -dids
do not annoy nor the shy crickets sad
den US.
But brass band in the park When
it begins to play, we are all children
again, and life once more has gone q
Msying.
"And the night shall be flied with music,
And the cares that infest the day
Shall fold their tents like the Arabs
And as silently steal,away,"
Between the music and the voices of
the autos gliding about with their
big bright eyes staring straight ahead /,
and their pace of hunting hounds, con.
versation becomes almost lost art.
Moonlight and arc lights both sug-
gest the summer chimes, and no matter
from what lofty peak of topic CONVEX
sation may take flight, is it not sure to
descend into the kitchen where either
our natural enemy or our dearest friend
presides?
So it was not far cry from moonlight
on the Mexican mountains TO the meth.
DDS Of native Mexican cooks.
One lady who had soiourned in South.
ern Mexico was telling what time she
had striving to eliminate, or at least
subdue, the pungent flavors of Spanish
dishes. Her husband dislikes the odor
and taste of onions in any dish even
when he is we'll, but imagine his emo
tions when the rice brought on the tray
to his bedside was favored with that
odorous vegetable.
So the lady ordered more rice cooked
and insisted that no onions be allowed
even near it, The second rice was even
more impossible than the first, anc i'm

SPOKANE WINS HER RATE CASE
Will Make That City the Greatest job
bing Center in the West.

The famous Spokane rate case which
has been in the hands of the commits
sion for more than two years ia now
with the printer. says the Chicago
Record Herald. 1t is understood the
decision will be given within week
aud that 1t is favorable to Spokane.
1t is rumored in railroad circles that
the commission insists that the trans
continental freight rates to Spokane
will sbe reduced between 80 and 26
cents per 100 pounds. The first figure
is said to be the reduction ordered on
first GLASS articles, aud the last figure
to be the reduction on fifth class. Re-
ductions on the other classes range
between these two figures.
Spokane complained against having
to pay in the majority OF cases the
rate to the Pacific coast plus the local
rate from there back to Spokane,
which the railroads said was neces-
sary because of the water competition.
II the decision is as rumored 1t will,
railroad officials assert, make Spokane
the greatest jobbing center Of the
northwest.
