Living Death of Woman Battles.

BOISE, Idaho, March 22-For four
months past Mrs. George G. Stewart,
wife OF the Chief Justice OF the state,
has lain on a bed in ST. Luke's Hos
pital in state Of living death. She

both as to body and mind. Only her
eyes now show any sign of life.
She can take only the lightest nour-
ishment, can hardly utter a sound,
and is absolutely helpless. The dis
ease has proved battling to all dag
nosticians who have examined her,
although medical experts from the
East, Portland, Spokane and Salt
Lake have come here to pass upon
the strange case.

Although Congress has been in ses-

SO far as the records show, not one

Americans who met his forces along the banks
of the Connecticut Thames.
Gen. Arnold had met Gen. Warren in the early
spring of i775 and had formed strong personal
liking for him When Warren was killed Il was
found that he had left no means for the support
and education of his four children Arnold be-
came deeply interested in the matter and brought
the childrens condition 10 the attention OF the
continental congress. which promised TO do some
thing for the little ones. but diy'dallied over the
matter Arnold had an idea that the congress
might not act quickly and he wrote letter
OF tender socitude TO Mercy Scholay. who was
caring for the Warren children, their mother hav.
ing died some time before. In this letter Arnold.
nearly impoverished himself. sent an order for
$500 with instructions that he should be drawn
upon for more as soon as II was needed. This
contribution of the traitor saved Elizabeth. Jo-
seph. Mary and Richard Warren from destitu-
ton. Arnold not satisfied with this. but he
wrote squirting letters to Sam Adams and John
Hancock, of the committee which had the pro-
posed congressional appropriation In hand Then
he sent home some money and said: Send Rich

JOHN [. SULLIVAN ON
THE FOURTH OF JULY.

1t is the duty OF every man to cele- I
works for his family. 1 am In favor I
of allowing The children TO set part of I
them off in the morning of the Fourth, /
for nobody knows how a boy suffers /
If he has frecrackers and can't set 4
them of.
No country can celebrate a day as
well as we can. We have got more
money than anybody else. and we GER
tainly have got enough speakers.
| suppose there are n hundred thou
sand men thinking up Fourth Of July
speeches at this minute, and 1t Is not
too many. l hope every one of those
men will remind the boys who listen
TO him that this is the greatest country
on earth and that II can lick any other.
That is the great truth 10 keep ham,
mering home. Confidence In yourself
and confidence In your own country
should be every Americans motto, and
while he has that motto he can laugh
at kings and tyrants, because he knows
they stand no living chance.
AS for the so called Americans that
bow down TO English royalty and turn
up their pants without any cause,
have no excuses TO make for them.
They are unworthy of their country,
and, while | have known dudes that
could put up a pretty good fight In
corner, | advise no man to rely on
them.
MY advice TO Americans, young and
old, IS to be patriotic all the time. Yell
for your country and think OF George
Washington every time a frecracker
goes off. Invite your friends to share
with you in moderation whatever you
have and, without being boisterous, re-
mind every foreigner you see that
America can lick his country. which
ever 1t is. This drives the foreigners
to naturalization. which is only right.
and 1t keeps the sacred flame of patri-
otiSm alive.
AS a matter OF fact, this is the only
country on earth, for if China is big
ger 1t makes no difference. 1t takes
all the good In hundred Cinnamon to
make q bad American. anyhow, and
besides, they don't know what to eat
The Russian nation is big. but 1t Is

week that we couldn't lick Russia
The other nations don't count. Ire
land is too small. and. besides. IRELAND
is n part of America. The Germans
