a small puppy he had roamed the
streets with his mother. but one day
a car ran over her and Bunk was
alone, without friends or home
He had tried 10 lick the cold, mo-
tionless form Of his mother back into
life. and asfhe lay beside her hfeless
body that night the world looked
very dreary TO him and he wished that
he TOO. could die.
Many months had passed since then
and fate had not dealt kindly with
Bunk. but now that the barrel served
as q bed and storehOuse for his food
he felt very happy and contented-
One day the grocery keeper hap
pened 20 see Bunk in the barrel Here,
1his won't do" he exclaimed 4 am
not going 10 have sny stray dogs
hanging around my store" and tax
ing up the barrel he dumped the con-
tents-one sack, some straw, six bones,
five crusts OF bread, q couple OF boiled
potatoes and a piece OF bacon-into
2 garbage can
Poor Bunk stood b. watching his
food being thrown away. He looked
ulteously I'D Al the mnn and begged,
as only dog can beg. for his food
70 be given back
Get out of here, you cur" shouted
4he man. and picking up several stones,
threw them at Bunk
Now Bunk didn't know where TO go
All the food he had labored so hard
to get was gone. The only place
where he had been free from the kicks
and the cuffs OF the boys and men
was gone. Winter would soon be here
and he would surely starve or freeze

water on him.
Aching from the burns and bruises
he had received he could hardly drag
himself along. so turning into a side

Mans Life

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomor-
row,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to
day,
To the last syllable Of recorded time:
And all our yesterdays have lighted
fools
The way to dusty desth. Out. out, brief
candle,
LIES but a walking shadow; poor
player,
That struts and frets his hour upon
the stage,
And then is heard no more; il is a tale
Told by an idiot, full OF sound and
fury,
Signifying nothing.
William Shakespeare.

ATKINSON JURY IS.
DISCHARGED
FAILED TO ARRIVE AT VERDICT
AND JUDGE GRIMsHAW LAST
NIGHT CALLED THEM UP AND
DISCHARGED THEM.

The jury in the case Of the State
VS.. Prince Atkinson, which has been
out since Monday afternoon, was dis
charged last night about 9 o'clock
by Judge Grimshaw. 1t was impos-
sible for the jurors to come to un-
animous verdict and some of the
discussions in the jury room were
said to have been very heated. The
vote on the verdist ic said to remain
practically the same, since the first
vote, seven in favor of conviction
and five holding out for acquittal.
1t is likely that the Atkinson case
will come to trial again at this term
of court The case is one Of which
it is difficult to secure jury and it
is thought that a panel of about 100
will be drawn tomorrow.

SCHOLAR
SHIP TO GIRL
CLUB TAKES INITIA.
TIVE IN MOVEMENT TO SEND
SOME YOUNG LADY GRADUATE
TO STATE INSTITUTION.

The members of the Tourist club
of this city have taken the initiative
in securing funds for a permanent
scholarship to be awarded to the
young lady honor student of the SEN
ior class Of the Wenatchee high
school. Last year a scholarship was
awarded to a young man, graduate
of the high school, but the condition
surrounding the awarding of this
scholarship were such that it pre-
vented a young lady from securing
it, and this year the members of the
Tourist club planned the scholarship
that would be for girls only
The scholarship carries with it
about $3.50, 500 of which has al
ready been pledged by the members
Of the club itself. The subscription
committee, composed of Mesdames c.
H. Lodge and J. H. Blake and Misses
Cotton, Murray AMI Hull, will can
vass among the women of the city
for pledges for the remaining $3.50.
The prize will be awarded on COM
mencement day, and will be given,
of course to a member of the gradu-
ating class. A committee will be Sc
cured to make the awarding and
there will be but few irOn-clad regu-
lations surrounding the making of
the award. The scholarship will be
good in any of the state institutions.
The committee desires that all
pledges will be payable on or before
August Is, so that it will be possible
to make the proper arrangement for
the coming school work. This is to
be called the Wenatchee Women's
Scholarship for Girls, and the COM
mittee is in hopes that the women of
this city will take kindly to the idea
of this matter and will be very gen.
erous in the matter of subscribing to
this scholarship fund.
The following are the young lady
members of the senior class from
whom the successful candidate for
scholarship honors will be chosen:
Vida Van Cleave, Marguerite Wilson,
Orpha Leavers, Agnes Fish, Edith
Simon, Mildred Finch and Minnie
Simmons.

NO RELIEF N FLOUR
SITUATION
NIILLERS PREDICT THERE WILL
BE NO DROP IN PRICES UNTIL
THIS SEASONS WHEAT CROP
is HARVESTED.

Consumers need hope FOR no relief
from the soaring flour prices until
later this fall, according to a we'll
known miller. Flour is higher than
it has been for years, and the end is
not yet, for the simple reason, and
until the new wheat crop arrives the
householjers will be pretty much at
the mercy of that financially forum
ate, though somewhat unscrupulous
gentleman, James A. Patton, the
wheat king, who has the situation
cornered. There probably will be no
let-up on the high prices until Sep
tember. The Patton corner may be
expected to hold until the new crop
begins to come in.

Constantinople, April 22.- The
situation in Asiatic Turkey, accord
ing to the latest intelligence here, is
distinctly threatening. The wave of
fanaticism which originated at Adana
ten days ago, is apparently spreading
through the eastern provinces. Far
more than 10000 Armenians were
massacred in Syrian towns and viii
lagos during the outbreaks of the
fanatical sects. One embassy places
the estimates of killed as high as
$1,000. The government has sent
urgent demands to Vilayet of Adana
that riots be put down and the lead
ers harshly dealt with.
British, French and German war
vessels have arrived at Mersina. Tt1
reports today are that a number of
towns are threatened by Moslem
tribesmen and five American women
missionaries are reported in danger
at Hadjim in Vilayet of Adana. One
of them, Miss Lambert, has sent a
message down to the coast asking
help. The women are entirely alone
and defenseless. Villages surround
ing Hadjim are in flames and nomad
tribes threaten Hadjim.
The record of the American board
of commissioners for foreign mis-
sions show that Miss Virginia A. Bill
lings, Miss Olive M. Vaughan, Miss
Emily Fritcher, Mrs Mary Rogers,
