PARKS, THE MAN WHO SECURED
THE ENDORSEMENT OF LEM
WARD no BAD CHECK LAST
WINTER, CAPTURED IN IDAHO.

J. G. Parks, who made his appear
ance in this city this spring and Incl
dentally made himself known to Lem
Ward as a friend of years ago and
also secured Mr.. Wards endorsement
on a check for $30.35 on a bank at
Astoria, Oregon, was captured in Ida
no Saturday. Deputy Sheriff Ken
yon went after him and it is expected
that the officer ana the prisoner will
be here tomorrow. After cashing the
check in this city, Parks made him
self scarce here. Investigation proved
that the man was wanted in other
cities as we'll as in Wenatchee. When
arrested in Idaho he supposed that
the only charge against him was
minor one, preferred by Colfax citi-
zen and he came over the line with
out extradition papers. He was very
much surprised that the charge
against him was preferred by We
natchee officers.
Parks is an elderly man but it is
likely that he will have a sojourn at
Walla Walla. He is wanted in Colfax
on complaint of Ed. Rosenkranz, the
Whitman county agent for the Singer
Sewing Machine company, for whom
he had been selling sewing machines,
charged with having forged two con-
tracts for sewing machines and upon
receiving the machines sold them for
cash and failed to turn In the money.
He Is also wanted in Wardner. Ida
no, charged with having swindled
man out of $1,000; in Seattle for
having issued worthless checks in
January; in Spokane for a similar
offense, and in Lewiston, Idaho, for
having swindled woman out of $500
under promise Of marriage.
Entanglements with women are
said to have caused his being taken
into custody for it was through let
ters written him by his alleged Lew
iston victim that he was apprehended
after having evaded arrest for six
months, although authorities were
watching for him. &.

WIVES LIKE GOOD
THRASH|NGS
JUSTICE SAYS THAT HOT WEA.
THEIR BRINGS ON BEATING MA.
MA AND THAT WOMEN LIKE
THE UNUSUAL SENSATION.

New York, Aug. 16.-"There are
women who like to be beaten" said
Magistrate House in the Harlem
court today, after declaring that the
whipping post is the only effectual
way to punish brutal husbands. "Wo-
men who have married wife beaters
miss their daily thrash,ng after their
husbands have been locked up for a
few days.
"a hot spell like this seems to start
these wife beaters into special activ-
ity," he exclaimed disgustedly, mop
ping his brow and tipping the revolv-
ing chair in his private Office more
comfortably. And" he added, "there
are more wife beaters in Harlem than
in any other district of this city.
when a woman comes to me and
proves that she has been beaten by
her husband, I can issue a summons
for him. But when I get him before
me I can not lock him up unless the
wife Is willing to make a complaint,
or unless he is before me on a war
rant.
II used to think this sudden re-
lenting was due to love and Chris
tian spirit I don't any more I
think these women like to be beaten.
| think they miss it when they are
not beaten.
Yes. the woman who has mar
riej a wife beater usually has no
mental humiliation to forget Any
woman who submits to more than
one beating in her life is essentially
of coarser grain. A refined and edu-
Gated woman would never again live
with a man who had once beaten her.
Therefore you see these women whose
husbands thrash them every day have
nothing to forget but the physical
pain. There is no sense of mental
degradation.
why are there so many wife
beaters in Harlem?" he was asked.
II am sure I don't know" sighed
Magistrate House YEARLY, "unless it
is because of the dearth Of amuse-
ments in Harlem

The Wenatchee valley is in pO-
sition to receive a great amount Of

amms, imperial German delegate Of
the department of agriculture, ar
rived and spent the day driving over
the valley. Mr. Kaumamms, while
representative of the German de-
partment, spends all his time in the
United States and Is very familiar
with all irrigation and agricultural
developments of this country. 1t is
his purpose to make a study of the
best systems of this nation and com
municate his deductions to his own
country. Mr.. Kaumamms is very
pleasant man to meet and spoke en-
tertainingly of what he had seen dur
ing his travels in the west. He Is
very much pleased with the Wenat-
chez valley and was agreeably sur
prised at the wealth Of fruit which
ladens the trees of this valley.
E. M. Elliott, who is delegate to
the irrigation congress and returned
home yesterday, states that the lat
ter part of this week representatives
of the Russian, Chilean, Mexican and
other nations will visit this valley on

The Pumpkin.

All! On Thanksgiving day, when
from East and from West,
From North and from South
comes the pilgrim and guest;
When the gray haired New Eng
lander sees around his board
The old broken links Of affection
restored,
When the care wearied man
seeks his mother once more,
And the worn matron smiles
where the girl smiled before,
What moistens the lip and what
brightens the eye:
What calls back the past like the
rich pumpkin pie:
Oh, fruit loved of boyhood, the
old days recalling,
When wood grapes were purp-
ling and brown nuts We're
falling!
When wild ugly faces we carved
in its skin,
6 laring out through the dark
with a candle within,
When we laughed round the
corn heap with hearts all in
tune,
Our chair broad pumpkin, our
lantern the moon:
Telling tales of the fairy who
travelled like steam,
In a pumpkin shell coach with
two rats for her team.
