Too Busy to Bury Wife.

Spokane-That man should not
find time to come to the funeral of
his wife, whose body has been held
since last Christmas, seems peculiar,
but nevertheless it is true.
Rebecca Lawr died last Christmas
of paralysis in Spokane and the body
was taken in charge by local I'M
dertaking firm. The husband, who
is in the contracting business at
Fernie, B. c., was notified. For the
last three months his daughter, who
is % years of age, and living in Spo-
kane, has been trying to get her
father to come to the funeral of her
mother The father wrote to bury
his wife, but that he did not have
the time to come to the funeral,
which the daughter held last week.

CONVICTS ATTEMPT ESCAPE
John Branton, the Desperate Leader,
Commits Suicide.

Salem, Or, March 29.-By saving
their way through the bars of a win
dow on the basement floor of the
building, four convicts made a bold
attempt to escape from the peniten-
tiary shortly after o'clock this
morning The prison officials knew
of the scheme, however, and with
five armed guards awaiting their exit
the convicts were held up at the
point of as many guns as they made
the bolt, and with hands held high
in the air all four of them were or
dered back into the prison through
the same hole from which they had
emerged.
John Branton, the alleged leader
and principal organizer of the out
break, lies dead in prison morgue,
having committed suicide by cutting
his throat with butcher knife taken
from the prison butcher shop. His
three colleagues are locked in their
cells and will be punished according
to the rules of the institution in such
cases.
Branton, the dead convict, was
serving a 10-year sentence for as
sault with intent to kill.

The Beaver" went on the rocks at
;Burrard's Inlet, near Port Town
send, in 1885,
The Beaver was built on the
Thames, in England, in 1885, and
sailed for the Pacific ocean under
convoy of the old Hudson Bay Com
pany's bark Columbia Her paddle
wheels were packed in her hold as
cargo and were put in position on
the vessel at old Fort Vancouver on
the Columbia in 1886. The "Bea-
yer" was the first steamer to voyage
in the Pacific ocean and the first to
ply between Puget Sound and Sitka,
Alaska, the latter then a Russian
port. The Beaver" was operated
for 81 years. What is left of the
old historic boat will be on exhibit

Deessssese esessssss
Eeror Costly to State.

A@fA VI \OStIy 10 state.
Olympta-Because some member
of the Legislature could not count
printed lines, an error was made in
the grain inspection bill, which is
estimated to cut down state revenues
about SIS 700 a year, and incident
ally benefit grain owners to that ex-
tent
Originally the new law providing
for the inspection and weighing of
grain fixed minimum charge of
$1.25 for bulk and 81 for sacked
wheat per car. In the house some
member pointed out that bulk grain
could be more readily inspected than
sacked wheat and moved an amend
ment to cut the rate to IS cents a
car for bulk grain. By mistake he
miscounted the number of the line
of the printed bill he intended to
amend and in consequence the law
as passed and signed provides for
S rate on bulk wheat and a rs
cent rate on sacked.
The railroad commission, which
has jurisdiction of grain inspection
under the new law, estimates the er-
rOr will cut down receipts about
$4,000.

PRETTY HOMEMADE BUTTONS
Can BE Made for Use on Almost All
Occasions, and the Work Is
Attractive.

When may buttons be made at
home? First, last and often, but not
always. because on some of the more
magnificent costumes the buttons
must necessarily be of richest crochet
with the undercovering Of satin show
ing through or else covered with
satin. which requires accurate manu-
facture, or of the jeweled variety.
The handmade button is, however,
not to be despised, and with deft nm
gers beautiful buttons may be made
at home. 1t is delightful pickup"
work, mechanical enough to admit OF
conversation spl inkled in after the
first button or two.
Some of the narrow novelty braids
woven round and round and sewed
as they are woven make rich but

used in button making for evening
dresses. A basket weave combining
the two is new and effective cover

The figure that harmonizes with the
medieval gowns is one that is rather
full busted if anything, and round
embroidered bust ornaments are an

given elegant fiat masses of trimming
in the way of stoles, hip girdles, bust
ornaments, etc. Coarse simple gold

J ed from the sentinel stone stood the
small house, shattered and empty
now, that in Philip Hume's lifetime
had been occupied by Boaholt and his
man, Matthew Bland; the only other
house IN sight was the great rambling
old place, shut in by wide grounds and
! trees, where the man who was dead
| had lived.
| Stephen had only once been within
those walls since Bonholt had become
| it's master; he had noticed then the
| blank space on the wall where hung
the portrait that the new tenant had
| caused to be removed.
The rector thought of it now as he
passed the Hall-another seed of
suspicion to terminate among that
swift growth of suspicion filing his
| mind. Bonholt Hume professed to
have regarded the man who was dead
almost as a son; but he had shrunk
from looking on the white, still face
had shrunk from being confronted by
that pictured face from the wall.
More than ever it was his duty to
inform the police what he could tell
them about the revolver-that belated
confession which should have been
made long ago, which yesterday he
had at last determined to make as
soon as he had seen Olive and ac-
quainted her Of his intention.
He had kept silent so long for the
sake of the woman he had once
loved; he would keep silent a little
longer till he had seen her, warned
her, questioned her. He would find
out Anthony Strangways' address to-
day and write to him at once, de-
handing information respecting Olive
Vanstone. No time should be lost.
And Strangways must tell him. I'm
til his confession had been made he
would not know moments peace.
AS he was walking along the sound
of wheels made him turn.
1t was the chief inspector of police
driving away from the Hall. The
rector paused, and as the man ap-
preached him he put question:
perhaps I have no right to ask in
spectOr-but has Mr.. Hume made up
his mind whether it is his revolver or
not?"
Eyes, it's his revolver; Mr.. Hume
admits now that it must be his" said
the inspector, in a non-committal
tone.
But even before that first shaking
denial of Bonholt Hume's the rector
had known that the revolver was his
the revolver that in some inexplica-
BILE way Hume had learned was in his,
Stephen Ruthen's, possession.
He walked back to the rectory. He
found Hilda in a restlessly excited
mood after the news Of Jack Lathom.
The white, troubled face struck at
him like a reproach.

mend except to the experienced.
Button decorations and centers OF
shaped opaque beads, which may be
had at the fancy-work counters, are
particularly ornate, giving a richness
to house gowns and evening dresses
and repeating some note of color in
the gown or the jewelry. These
braided and beaded buttons are nee.
essarily less difficult when large;
they may be woven on thin, firm silk
or dress material first or may be
worked upon the covered button mold.
Broadcloth admits of the same
varied treatment that linen does, and
is particularly firm material for
home button-making. Use twisted
embroidery silk on broadcloth and
mercerized cotton on linen. Trace or
draw the patterns You want to en-

round there will be much uncertainty
about getting them alike, Do not cut
the material into small circles and

TO UTILIZE STRAW MATING.
Material Is Well Adapted for Many
Purposes Besides That OF
Covering Floors.

Straw mating may be put to many
uses beside the conventional one of
covering floors.
1t is particularly effective in sum-
mer cottage and piazza furnishings.
Table covers may be made of the
fine, closely woven Japanese mating,
hemmed at each end.
AS finish to the lower part OF a
wall mating which is not too heavy
serves quite as well as burlap and is a
change from the more usual covering.
Settee cushions may be made, or at
least covered, with the fine, pliable
kind of mating, to match the strip on
the porch floor.
They are hemmed top and bottom
and hung upon rings at the top, which
in turn are hung en- little brass hooks
screwed into the window frame or
pOrch beam.

A CUSTOMER WON.
The ObIging Merchant in the Side
Street and the 12-cent Purchase.

The Obiging Merchant in the Side
Street and the 12-cent Purchase.
II have often wondered" said a
man who rambles all over town look
ing for bargains, "how the small
merchants in the streets off Broad
way and out of the retail districts up
town manage to make their living. 1
know something about it now.
"A year ago | went into little
store in Greenwich street to buy an
article that cost me II cents when
finally got it, The first time / made
my want known the merchant said
that he had never kept the article, al
though it was in his line. He than.r
ed me for calling his attention to it.
He supposed that would not do me
any good, but he would get it, for the
chances were that some one else
would ask for it.
Il did not call again for several
days, and when I did I went out Of
my way ten blocks. He knew me as
he ordered the article and expected it
any day. He asked me to leave my
address, saying that he would send
the article as soon as he received it,
Il went into his place several days
after, still going out of my way in
doing so. The article was ready.
What was the result? l have been
going out of my way ever since for
anything in his line just because the
merchant had been so obliging. We
became very we'll acquainted and one
day I told him how l had become one
of his customers.
WY he replied, that is the way
I get my trade. If I didn't try to &C.
commodate people I would have had
to close up long ago.
Il suppose that is the key to the
success of all the little merchants in
the off streets. 1t pays to be gra-
cious."
