Leon Sent for Girl
Today Chong was able 70 remember
that Leon had told him he had sent for
the girl and that he had made her
promise the night before, when he was
thrown out Of the sigel home because
he was drunk. that she would come to
his room that morning
This fits perfectly with other facts
that are known ana proves beyond A
doubt that the murder OF the girl was
premeditafed
Chang also remembered that Leon
had told him of his love for the girl
and of her refusal Of his plea that she
marry him; that she told him that she
did not love him and tried to make him
promise to let her alone
Il was mad at her. Chong said Leon

Merchants Of the Northwest look
forward to the largest Christmas
business season that has ever been
known. The last statement OF bank
ing institutions submitted to the
government, shows that there is more
money on deposit in this part of the
country than ever before. Marked
gains are shown In the November re-.
ports over September, And the best
of it is, that all the money for the
1909 crop has not yet come In. The
statement also shows an increase in
loans, indicating business expansion;
whereas the money centers on the
other side of the Rockies have been
calling in their accounts, because of
local conditions, therefore, it can be
seen that the people OF the Northwest
have money 10 spend for Christmas.

tells the story in this way: THE
beast had received rough usage and
was being driven daily with heavy
load back and forth from Binn Val

the Ipuleteer had added, as usual, his
own weight to the tired mules al
ready heavy load the beast plunged
and reared so violently that the man
was thrown with violence, breaking
his arm, while the pack was flung
off. Bolting then along the torrent
side, the mule was nearing the
bridge at Schert at full gallop, when
a party of men barred the way. Sc =

old unbearable cruelty, the animal
stopped, turned to the torrent flow

Easy TO Construct.
A very useful article in bedroom
is some kind of little cupboard in
which may be kept medicine-bottles
and other things which are better out
of sight. 1t should also be a place
from which they may be readily re-
moved and replaced when required.
1t Is to meet this want that we give
the accompanying sketches, and a
small hanging cupboard may be
easily and quickly arranged with lit
tie or no expense.
Any strong wooden box Of suitable
size may be used, and the lid may be
dispensed with. A case that has con-
tanned a dozen bottles of wines Of
spirits will answer the purpose ad-
mirably.
Two holes should be cut in the
bottom of the box, and It may then
be suspended from the wall by means

Permitted to Whistle in Church.

Harry p. Bosson of Reading, as
his friends in Worcester say, whis-
tied in church while attending divine
worship in that city recently. When
asked about it Mr.. Bosson said he
was not asleep and explained his ac-
tion by telling the following story,
The minister said Just before the
contribution that any one who put
90 cents or more into the contribu-
tion box was entitled and expected
10 whistle. AS the collectors were
on their way the whistling came
from all parts of the room and was
not far from universal. When it
came down to me it was up to me to
dig down and content myself with a
whistle"
This is the latest way of raising
money for churches.
