A good story is told of the times of
the first reform bill in England, when
the popular cry was 1.-THE bill, the

Of the landlord. One night Tory ar

his horror that the landlord was a
Radical. The next morning he dis

The trial of George L. Pepoon, of
Northport, for the murder Of his insane
wife by administering strychnine, was
started at Colville Monday. a jury was
secured in half day, the following from
the east side of the coun.
ty being accepted: Otto liver
son. Newport, logger; VIM. Elmer. New
port, farmer; A. L. Bach. Locke. farmer; ;
A. S. Bradley. Locke, farmer Jas. Davis,
Calispel, farmer.
That the defendant, George L. Pepoon,
administered strychnine to the mother
of his three children, with the intention
OF relieving himself of an insane wife,
that he eyed the $1,000 insurance she
carried in the Women of Woodcraft and
that he intended to marry Mrs. Maude
Keller. now Mrs. Pepoon, with his wife
out of the way, will be the points the
state will attempt to prove, according to
the preliminary statement by Prescott
ing Attorney H. G. Kirkpatrick.
The connection of Maude Keller with
Ray Wilcox, a paroled convict who il
charged with Pepoon with poisoning
Edith Pepoon, by paroling him from the
state penitentiary at Walla Walla and
sending him to Pepoon. was followed bv
her hasty marriage to Pepoon before the
expiration of the legal time limit fol.
lowing divorce. The intent OF the state
is to show, at least by inference, a con-
spiracy between Pepoon, Wilcox and
Maude Keller.

A PLEASANT REMARK.

u
During the Game.
At whist club in Brooklyn was an
old fellow who enjoyed the reputation
of being a great crank, and his an
imadversions against his partners were
so severe and his manners generally
so bad that it was rare, indeed, that
he could get any one tosplay with
him.
One night however, man happen
ed in from the west, and the avoided
one promptly assailed him with re-
quest to "sit in The western man
was about to comply when he was
quietly taken aside by one Of the MEM
bers of the club, who told him the
reputation of the crank.
'I don't care" he said. II can stand
it, guess"
At the end of the evening he was
approached once more by the curious
member.
"Well," said the member, "how did

"First rate"
Didn't he insult you?"
"Why, no.
Didn't he browbeat your"
"Not at ALL"

Nothing special. He only spoke
once during the whole course Of the
game"
"What did he say then?''
"Why, l didn't get the cards out

over at me very pleasantly and said,

A Word of Kindness.

There are lives of wearisome mo-
notony which a word of kindness can
relieve. There is suffering which
words of sympathy can make more
endurable, and often, even in the
midst Of wealth and luxury, there are
those who listen and long in vain for
some expression of disinterested kind
ness. Speak to those while they can
hear and be helped by you.
