The Story of Ten Little Fingers.
Ten dainty. dtmpled fingers,
With two hands soft and small,
Came, not SO very long ago.
On me TO make call,
said, Dear little fingers,
| hope you're always good"
The fingers bowed: they meant TO say
I'VE would be II we could"
But one day they were naughty,
When they had just been told.
The Dresden vase they must not touch
Or else mamma would scold.
Forgetful little fingers
So soft and white and round!
They tried to clasp the pretty vase,
But--dropped II to the ground.
What must be done TO fingers
When they will not obey?
Mamma said. I'VE must cover up
Those fingers right away
How very sad they felt, then.
Each pink-tipped. guilty mite.
With cotton cap drawn over il
And tied down very tight.
All day they had to wear them.
In tear besprinkled sorrow:
But when night came all promises
true.
I'VE will be good tomorrow"

The Truth About Rose.

The Truth About Rose.
Wee Cousin Jean walked down be-
hind the lilac bushes all alone. The
first day OF her visit she had found
Cousin Rose lovely; the second day
she had thought her the dearest girl
In the world; but here on the third

Rose was very. very unkind.
II began when auntie was brushing
Jeans hair that morning. Jean could
look out into the hall and she saw
Rose on the window seat with big
plate of nuts. She was taking the
meats out. Yet when Jean came ou,
the nuts were gone and Rose never
saba word about them. Then a lit
tie later Rose slipped out of the din
ing room with plate of frosted cakes
and when she saw Jean she covered
then. with her apron. But the wo, 81
of all was when Jean asked II she
might hold Violet Daffodil. the biggest
rather not lend her Just now, Jean
dear"
1t was after that that Jean walked
down behind the iilacs all alone. She
thought of her mother and her father
and her baby brother, and the black
kitten, and her own dollies, and she
wished she could go home right away.
and never come again to visit sue,
an unkind cousin. Then a tear rolled
down. and no one knows what might
have happened If Rose had not come
that way just then calling. Jean.

The bud in its winter sheath he bound.
Nor the spirit in me be chained and

ANOTHER SHOW
FOR LAMB

After losing their $4,000 dam
age suit against the Washington
Water Power company on two dis
tinct occasions, the G. A. Lamb
Lumber company was granted per-
mission to reopen the case by
Judge Z. II. Sullivan this morning.
The defense moved for the dis
missal of the action on the grounds
of insufficiency of evidence this
morning and Judge Sullivan made
the order. A few minutes later
the plaintiffs moved to reopen the
case to introduce evidence relative
to the condition of the motor which
caused the loss of their mill, and
the motion was granted.
The Lamb mill was destroyed
by fire in 1906, a spark from a
motor setting fire to sawdust which
communicated the blaze to the mill
and lumber yard. The plaintiffs
allege that the motor was defect
i've in that it would not have spark
ed in good condition.
Judge Sullivan delivered a short
lecture on the short sightedness
of business men in enclosing a
motor in wooden shed, jeOpardiz-
ing their fortunes, when the eX-
penditure of a few hundred dol
lars for a cement box would make
it impossible for a fire to occur.

WARM REsUkE TO THE
DEFENDANT.

"The only thing that can cure
a man like you is six feet of EARTH
declared Justice Samuel Hyde this
morning to John Hefling at the ex.
animation of the latter on the
charge of failing to provide for his
wife and family. Hefling was
bound over to the superior court
with bail fixed at $1,000.
1t developed at the examination
that although Hetling is one of the
striking coal-drivers from the
Hawleye Fuel company, and has
been supporting his family even
less than usual of late, for the past
nine years the family have been
more or less of a neighborhood
charge.
Hefling has little or no concep.
ton of the duties husband and
father owes his family, and has
been wilfully neglecting them for
many years.

PUBLICITY
SAVES CITY
Ab|G BILL
DECARiE COMPANY WILL NOT
PRESS cREMAToRY EEK.
TRAS FOR S11e5.

There will be no payment by the
city of the bill of the Decarie In
cineration company for S1165 for
"extras" furnished on the crema-
tory plant of the city, installed by
this company some Is months ago.
When the bill was filed the pres
ent superintendent of the crema-
tory, c. D. Harmon. refused to
Q. X. it., saying that he doubted
whether or not the service and ma
terials for which the bill was rem
dered had really been given the
city. After Harmon made the pro-
test H. D. Merritt, the democratic
boss, whose brother was at the
head of the crematory when the
debt was contracted, called on
Harmon and told him not to worry
over the bill, that he would see
that it was taken care of in the
proper time.
The representative of the Decarie
company was here again yesterday
to see about his bill and called at
the office of the crematory super
intendent to tell him that the bill
would not be pressed, that after
looking up the facts he was not so
sure that the city owed it after all,
and that the matter would be drop
ped.
Why this change in the attitude
of the company, whose claim was
pending in the board of public
works, cannot be explained, but
suffice to say that the taxpayers
will be saved the necessity of foot
ing this bill because of the protest
of Superintendent Harmon and the
publicity given it by The Press. 1t
ic not known how the claim was
settled.
