Beginning life as poor saddle

toiled ever, and faltered never until
the battle for ease and competency
was won. At the work bench, in the
ranks of his country's soldier, behind
the counter and through the varying
vicissitudes of a changing career he
learned the lessons of life and learn

MATHEWS GIFT TO WHITMAN:
A TOUCHING BENEVOLE NCE
"A Desire to Give Young People What he Himself
Failed to Secure Prompts Noble Donor
to Action.

Touching the heart Of the old, and
sending a nuturing thrill through the
New Whitman, the $4,000 gift of
Stephen H. and Mary Mathews of
Spokane has sunk deep into the life of
The institution. Students appreciate
the benevolence and feel their ambis-
ions swell and their sympathies re-
spond, friends of the college are en-
Unused and the public is voicing it's
appreciation.
Not since DIR. d. K Pearsons, the
venerable philantrophist of Chicago,
answered the call of the then struggl-
ing little college and sent his thous-
ands across the mountains to its sup
port. has there been such general en-
thusiasm and rejoicing in school and
city. AS the story of the little Whit
man battling against the odds of an
unfriendIy fate appealed to the Chicago
millionaire. so the story of the pres
ent Whitman, splendid in the high
ideals of lis gifted founder. and the
Greater Whitman, just blooming Into

the corner stone of the handsome
bounty has built stepping stones over
which reserving youth may rise to the
realm Of its aims and ideals.

down the swelling and next day her

that binds together, like a silver

another blending tint to the mellow

Pettrich, who is a Servan, was tried
and found guilty of the murder of
Marshal Harry Miller of Kent. The
deed which Pe.trich is alleged to have
committed occurred one evening abour
year ago. Pettrich with a party of
countrymen, all of whom had but late

commanded to throw up their hands
by Marshal Miller, the Servians, un<
able to- understand English, thought
they were being held up and started to
run. One of the men in the par drew
revolver and fired a. the marshal
with the result that he was fatally
wounded, dying a short time later. Be-

a hat of the description given by the
dead marshal, was charged with the
crime and Ultimately convicted. Later
circumstances revealed the truth OF

in the party had done the killing, and
not himself, and that this man wore a
ligh. hat. The man, however, had eff

MAKES STOMACH
MISERY VANISH
STOPS FOOD FERMENTING AND
RELIEVES DYSPEPSIA IN
ABOUT FIVE MINUTES
The Most Obstinate Cases of Stomach
TrcubI eand Indigestion Find
Prompt Cure in Diapepsin

Take your sour stomach-or maybe
you call it Indigestion, dyspepsia, gas
tritis or catarrh Of stomach: it doesn't
matter-take your stomach trouble
right with you to your Pharmacist
and ask him to open 50-cent case of
Pape's Diapepsin and let you eat one
22-grain Triangule and see if within
five minutes there is left any trace of
your former misery.
The correct name for your trouble is
food fermentation-food souring: the
digestive organs become weak, there
is lack of gastric juice; your food is
only half digested, and you become af-
fected with loss of appetite, PRESSURE
and fulness after eating, vomiting,
nausea, heartburn, gripping in bowels,
tenderness in the pit of stomach, bad
taste in mouth, constipation, pain
in limbs, sleeplessness, belching of
gas, biliousness, sick headache, ner-
vousnes, dizziness and many other
similar symptoms.
If your appetite is tickle and moth
ing tempts you, or you belch gas or if
food lies like a lump of lead on your
StoiiiacL, you Can iudhe up Soui HuIiiu
that at the bottom of all this there is
but one INSTRUMENTATION of undi-
gested food.
Prove to yourself, after your next
meal, that your stomach is as good as
any; that there is nothing really
wrong. Stop this fermentation and
begin eating what you want without
fear of discomfort or misery.
Almost instant relief is waiting for
you 1t is merely a matter of how
soon you take some Diapepsin.

Reward of Honesty.
From the Cleveland Press,

One day last week q teacher in Bolton
school picked up in the street a chamois
bag, and, peering inside, saw some dia-
monds. Advertisements telling of the loss
of $1,000 worth OF diamonAs led the school
teacher to the residence of the owner, the
wife Of a downtown merchant. Incident
ally a reward was offered, but the woman
who found them Is OF character too high
to make a reward a thing to be considered
in such a case. She carried the diamonds
to the woman who had lost them and the
latter seized them with all the JOY that
a woman could possibly show on the re-
coyery OF. her jewels.
And now" said the woman, .'you sha
have a reward Of $40 If you take 1t out
in trade in my husbands shop"
The school teachers sense of humor
prevented her from showing any disgust,
and she told the owner that she could
not think of taking a reward for common
honesty. and was only too glad to find the
owner. During the conversation the
woman was counting the diamonds, and
she suddenly broke out with;
"One Of them is missing! One of them
Is missing! What are you going to dc
about that?"
The best 1 can do about that replied
The school teacher, 'is to wish that more
were missing. Good day."

The man who is disappointed In love
generally lives to be glad of it.
Som women are partial to men, and

The average woman is not salts

Al ounce of prevention is moi al
