themselves the ancient verse that forms
the leading paragraph of this pathetic

Mr., and Mrs. A. H. Sylvester went to
Cashmere Tuesday by private convey
ance and returned the following day.
The following is taken from the Cash
mere Record: The fourth annual meet
ing of the Presbyterian Brotherhood oc-
cured at the Presbyterian church on
Tuesday evening. A program of ex-
ceptional interest was prepared by the
social committee. An address was
given by A. H. Sylvester, superintend
ent of forestry for this part of the coun-
try. AS Mr.. Sylvester was formerly a
member Of the Geological Survey and
more recently in the forestry depart
ment of the U. S., he has unusually
intimate knowledge of the question of
conservation that in the Pinchot-Ball-
niger contest attracted such wide atten-
ton and his visit gave an unusual oppor
tunity to the men OF Cashmere.

Wenatchee lake, was going after the
doctor for his wife last Saturday and on
a small bridge only short way from
home his horse slipped and fell, rolling
entirely over him, bruising him consid-

badly lacerated. Neighbors soon came
to his aid and brought him to town

FATAL WRECK AT WENATCHEE
Oriental Limited Crashes into String of
Freight Cars, Killing two hObOeS-
No Other Fatalities

East bound passenger train No 3
known as the Oriental Limited which
passes thru here about l a. m. ran
into three freight cars at Wenatchee
last Wednesday morning. Following
is the account of the wreck from the
Wenatchee World.
The Oriental Limited was running
few minutes late. Freight train No.
451, going west, sidetracked to give
No. Q the right of way. This freight
train was under charge Of Conductor
Horsefall and Engineer Grina. In
going on the sidetrack four cars were
pushed out onto the main line, just
opposite the foot of Fifth street. The
blocking Of the line was not seen by
the Oriental Limited until the train
was close onto the freight. The air
was APPLIED Immediately but before the
train could be stopped the iron mon
ster had plowed its way almost thru
two cars.
An unknown man who was beating
his way over the system was on the
pilot and evidently he was instantly
killed. His body was not recovered
until late Wednesday afternoon. The
unfortunate man could be seen pinned
in between the boiler and the trucks.
Thomas G. Kenney another unfortu-
nate man, was standing on the blind
baggage. He jumped to the right
striking a post with such force that
he was killed instantly killed.
One OF the most marvellous things
of the wreck, was the fact that neither
Engineer w. B. D. Rush nor Fireman
John Sorpk, of the passenger engine,
were injured. After telescoping the
box cars the engine toppled over to
the west side OF the track and both
men climbed out the rear way. Just
prior to the crash, the fireman stepped
over to the engineers window for the
purpose of speaking to him. This
fact in itself accounts for his be-
ing alive today. He remained in that
position or evidently he would have
been killed. Both men live at Hill
yard, but are we'll known in this city.
Letters and papers found in Ken
ney's pockets indicate that the young
man was above the hobo class although
no explanation can be made at this time
for the way that he was travelling.
He had a teachers certificate
granted in Dakota, and a postal photo
OF himself indicates that he was a
member of the California athletic club
given to boxing. An unmailed letter
found on his person and addressed to
his mother at St. Teresas, Prince Ed
ward Island Canada, told that the boy
was twenty-one years old Wednesday,
the day he met his death.
A wrecking train was sent from here
to the scene of the week shortly after
it happend, but it was about six hours
before the wreckage was cleared up.
VIM. Dorm of Hillyard, head brake
man of the freight train is in the Gus
tody of Sheriff Ferguson.
1t is said thoro investigation will
be made and the responsibility for the
wreck fixed on the proper parties.
The Echo was told by railroad engi-
neer that when asked, why he had not
gone to see if the cars were clear of
the main line, the brakeman whose
duty it was to attend to such things,
replied, Il did not go because I
wanted to feed my face"

Pie.

There never have been enough good
words said about pie.
The late William shakspere expressed
himself wildly upon almost every other
subject in the world except pie.
Moses and Aaron, and Coke and Black
stone gave us laws that are valuable in
our daily lives, but they did not consider
pie in its relationship TO the welfare of
the human race.
Charles Dickens, Victor Hugo, Ger
vantes, Booth Harrington, Darlington
Macaulay and others have written the
romance Of life, but none of them has
given pie its rightful place in the scheme
of things.
Pie has brought happiness and unhap-
piness into the family circle.
Pie rightly made is a benson and a
blessing to the system that absorbs it.
Men who are running for office should
appeal to the voters on the plank of
Gree Pie" and they cannot fail to win.
All pies are good, but some are better
than others. Some day woman will
run for President on her piemaking rec
ord and the suffrage question will be
solved forthwith. - Chicago Evening
Post

OLD-TIME WALL PAPER.

On the River road in Pittston Islands
an old fashioned country seat formerly
owned and occupied by Capt Reuben Col
burn, now the inheritance of his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Caroline Merryman of Wiscon-
sin.
From its doorway one looks down upon
a broad bend of the Kennebec in basin
of hills, where mingle greensward, au-
tumnal hued woodland, orchards, dwell
lings, mills and railway. And, as one
gazes, the scene already SO beautiful
gains new charm when stately ocean
steamer glides over the water
The colonial doorway has sidelights
extending the height of the door, In
each transverse division there are three
narrow sections Of the glass, about three
inches in width. There are numerous
panels, square and oblong in the door.
From the front hall leads upward long
straight flight of stairs and at their top
one comes upon relic of earlier years
in the upper hall where the wall paper
of those times is yet preserved, although
the remainder of the house is newly pa
pered.
1t is landscape paper, its color is bright,
its details so clearly defined that it would
be supposed of recent date instead of
having been there for half century.
But the years that brought so many
changes to the household once gathered
here, passed by, urnoted, this minor oh
ject. The pattern OF the paper covers a
space a little more than a half yard
square. In the foreground boat,
carrying ten men, women and children,
is making a landing on the rocky shore
of a cove. On shore a man, ir red garb,
is hauling in the boat by its line. A man
in the boat stands furling a brown sail.
Other men in the boat sit holding upright
six oars A chubby faced child in blue
coat sits in the stern under the dropping
folds of large vari-colored flag. All in
the boat wear bright colored raiment.
Apparently they come to the large man.
sion erected on the precipitous bank close
by. There crag on crag, rises cliff
above the housetop.
Beyond this boat, on the ripping water
of the pale blue bay, are other sailboats
Spanning the bay from cliff to cliff is a
bridge; through its arches shows dis
tant view of the water, and beyond rise
the turrets and spires of castles clustered
against background of mountain ranges.
Narrow flights of rock, steps over ra-
vines, are bordered by protecting curves
of open railing. Tall tree trunks that
rise on each side of the water, are crown
ed at their tops by luxuriant boughs of
vivid green, that overarching deep blue
sky, frame and complete the beautiful
picture. Rich shades of brown, from
dark to creamy tints, abound in rocks
and buildings. From the bold, clear fore
ground through the vista into dim dis
tance the effect is that of an oil painting.
The home of Mrs. Camilla A. Hazeltlne
contains a fine example of this oldtime
wall paper, also landscape, and perfectly
in color and otherwise. :.

COMMENTS OF THE LONDON PRESS

On the November Elections in this Country.
The London morning newspapers of
November 9th printed lengthy editorials
on our State elections.
The Standard thinks it an exaggeration
to describe the federal elections as
crushing blow to Roosevelt or an over
whelming disaster to the Republican
party. Roosevelt, says the paper, may
pop up again, while the party, under
President Taft might pull itself together
for great effort in the presidential
election.
The Times says: Hard as is the blow
believing that either the ex-President is
down and out, or the word failure must
be written of Taft's administration. Mr..
Roosevelt may learn moderation from his
defeat; in any case he is too valuable an
asset to be dispensed with by his country.
We cannot but note>with satisfaction the
tide which swept into Office men like Will
son and Harmon. Such men must prove
gain to the country's public life"
The Daily Graphic said: insurgency
clearly has gripped the country. The old
party system is perilously near the melt
ing pot, if it is not actually in it. -
The Chronicle sees in the result revolt
against protection.
The Morning Post Says: cit cannot be
said that the democrats owe the victory
to any positive merits of their own. Their
success must be attributed to the I'M
popularity incurred by the Republicans
and still more to divisions which weak
ened the once powerful party
The Daily News says: "Mr. Roosevelt
took upon himself to reform American
politics without reference to any other
person or influence kind of assumption
from which the American form of De-
mocracy fights shy''
The Express says: Roosevelt encom-
passed his own failure. Intoxicated by
the passion of his own convictions and
over-rating the influence of his personal
authority, he wrecked his party by the
lndiscriminate violence of his campaign.
The disaster was magnifed by the follies
Of the Payne tariff for which President
Taft was largely to blame"
