A week has skedaddled wherever
weeks go; it's doubtless been padded
across Styxs flow. We're gayer and
older and wearier now; our blood's
running colder; new lines seam the
brow. Old Father Times tearing; by
hustling he thrives; each passing
weeks pairing slice from our lives.
And some who were jolly short
week ago, have learned melancholy
anu utdl ldtlc anu Not, anu oOlhC "a
cant places are now in the room; and
some tearwet faces are heavy with
gloom. And some who were weeping
sad vigils with sighs, have driven the
weeping and woe from their eyes. y
week is so little, in ages sublime. A
splinter we whittle from forests of
time, A drop in the ocean, speck
in the skies-.not worth the commo-
ton we make when it flies, And yet
it embraces both gladness and tears,
and fastens its traces on all coming
years So may it be granted to people
to say. when this week is planted:
Twas not thrown away. We've toll
ed and we've striven as well as We
could, to reach out for heaven and all
that is good Walt Mason.

LEG A MASS OF HUM0R

about seven years ago a small
abrasion appeared on my right leg
just above my ankle. 1t irritated me
so that l began to scratch it, and it
began to spread until my leg from my
ankle to the knee was one solid scale
like scab. The irritation was always
worse at night and would not allow
me to sleep, or my wife either, and it
was completely undermining our
health. I lost fifty pounds in weight
and was almost out of my mind with
pain and chagrin as no matter where
the irritation came, at work, on the
street or in the presence of company,
l would have to scratch it until | had
the blood running down into my shoe.

ing during those seven years. The
pain, modification, loss of sleep, both
to myself and wife is simply indie

perience it to know what it is.

WOMAN IS MURDERED.
California Ranch Woman Murdered
and Robbed-Body Was Found
Buried in Sand by the Son.

Lancaster, Calm shallow grave
sunk in the sand of her front yard.
a pet dog uncovered Sunday the body
of Mrs. Frieda Schultz Castine,
wealthy ranch owner.
Every indication points to murder
with robbery as the motive, and tele-
grams have been sent to all seaports
and border cities between Galveston
and San Francisco to arrest the wom-
ans brother-in-law, Otto Schultz, who
left here Saturday, after telling Sta
ton Agent Stoughton of the Southern
Pacific that he was bound for Ger
many.
Mrs. Castine was last seen Friday,
when she came here from her ranch,
four miles east, to receive a remit
lance of $4,000 from relatives in San
Francisco
The investigations of officers from
the sheriff's office in Los Angeles, who
arrived here Sunday afternoon, tend
to show the woman was murdered as
she drove into her yard and that she
was thrown into the shallow hole yet
alive.
An examination by an autopsy sur
geon disclosed the presence of sand
in the lungs and the bronchial tubes,
Drawn there by the victims dying

otto Shultz, the woman's brother
n-law. who came here recently to take
charge of the ranch, was also missing
and on being appraised of the search
Mr.. Stoughton recalled the fact that
Schultz had purchased ticket fol-
Los Angeles, and had said that he
was on his way back to Germany
where both the Schultz and Castine
families are said to be well connected

WOMEN BOOTBLACKS
 ARE SUFFRAGETTES

New York, December 11.-(Special.)- With women bootblacks in the New Penn sylvania station, woman suffrage can not be so very far away. We have wom- en lawyers, women doctors, women dent ists, women orators and so women uoot- blacks ought to convince men that wom- en can vote
 At least this is the argument of Miss Lottie Marshall, captain of the bootblack team in the new terminal.
 Miss Marshall likes to blacken boots. She can't for the life of her see any, thing undignified or unbecoming in the pursuit. She can see that there is as much art to it as any vocation, there- fore she is one of the most painstaking, pretty bootblacks that ever looked a pat ent pump in the eyelet.
 But of course she is an unusual girl, too, or she would not take advantage of her position to study women from their heels up.
 'Of course, I don't black any but wom- ems shoes" she said. "Oh, yes, I took a regular course in bootblacking. The work is not hard once you get used to 1t, and the many strange feet you meet ir the course of day prevents 1t from be coming monotonous. can read a wom ans whole life in her heels and thu way she wears her shoes"

COSTS TO GET DRUNK
 IN RUSSELLVILLE

Russellville, December 11.-In the mayors court Friday, which is charac- terized by Mayor W. s. Douglass and others as the ''bootlegger' and whisky court, Dick Meredith was given the heaviest sentence on record in this court for an ordinary case of drunken ness. Before MT. Douglass, Meredith drew fine of s20 and costs and was given an extra sentence of 90 days on the streets of Russellville.
 In order to break up this form of vio- lation of the laws Mayor Douglass has decided to fine man for the first Of fense s15 and tax him with the costs, but for the second offense he is to re- ceive fine of $20 and 90 days on the streets as an extra punishment. IF this is not enough to demonstrate the forcefulness of the law, Mr. Douglass has declared that he will increase the fine and sentence for each violation thereafter.
 In this same court Will Hamilton was given a fine of $50 and 60 days on the streets for violating the Alabama prohibition laws. Last week Hamilton was arrested for the same offense, he be ing charged with the offense in an indictment returned by the Franklin county grand jury in November

AMERICAN DOLLAR

Paris, December 11.-(Speeial )-English the American dollar. The Portuguese re- public will have to reckon with it &C., cording 10 well-informed circles here. The dollars of the American Princess of Braganza, formerly Miss Alta Stewart, of New York, are said to be financing the plans of Don Miguel to stir up a counter revolution in Portugal, not with the idea of rettrning Manuel to the throne, but making Miguel King and the former Miss Stewart royal princess and perhaps ul- timately Queen.
 Don Miguel mas been in consultation with number of his friends in Portugal and their plans have been matured. Am ply supplied with money, they are to fos- ter Miguelist sentiment, especially in the army, and to stir up dissatisfaction. 1t is money goes long ways in Portugal. and that men high in the councils of the republic, both in civil and military life. can be won over to the cause if the price Is high enough.
 Everything possible will be done to en- harrass the government, and when the time is ripe the standard of Miguel will De raised- In the meantime the pretenuer is to organize strong foreign league of desperate, hard-fighting soldiers of for tune, and when the signal is given is to invade Portugal at it's head. With this neucleus of fighting force it is hoped the country will flock to his standard and enable him to grasp the throne The American princess is said to be enthusias- tic for the scheme. and perfectly willing to finance to the extent of. her ability.
