Az the Valley City gathering every

financing the campaign OF the faction
of the assistant democrats who met at
the Barnes county metropolis. In order
to secure the support OF Lauder and
Helgeson, who were protesting because
of probability that they were to be
eliminated, Speaker Burdick and Rep

FIRST LOVE LETTER
SAVES BOY FROM
PRISON SENTENCE

CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-His first
love letter from a girl back home
saved Allen Orr, son of Ceilings
wood, n. j., manufacturer, from
nine months in the house of correc-
ton.
After pleading guilty to taking
SIS from s. Cohen, III West Madi-
son street, Orr told how he ran
away from home to see the world.
His flushed face as he read and
re-read a letter he got during the
trial caused Assistant States At
torney Barrett to demand it. He
took it and read this to the court:
Dear Allen-Received your let
ter and l must say l was very
much surprised to hear from you
also at the contents. Your
mother wants you home. Won't
you please come for her sake and
for mine? like you better than
other boys. The picture you had
taken with Duke hangs on the
wall beside my bureau, and | gaze
at it every night. Enclosed you will
find a picture of myself. Please
come home. Dear Allen, do come,
just to please the girl you left
behind. Won't you? ="

SEATTLE, Feb. 18.-Nearly
every day wizened, grey-haired
little woman sits in a chair, amid
boxes and bales in one of the Paci-
fic Coast Steamship company's
docks, waiting for her husband to
come back from the sea.
For hours at time she occupies
chair, placed at her disposal by
the kind hearted Waterman and
other wharf employees who know
her story. She scarcely notices the
flocking people, the rumble of the
truck and the hoarse cries of busy
men which vibrate on every side.
After her vigil has completely
tired her, she says to the kindly
Waterman: HE didn't come, but
think, he'll be in tomorrow. !"
Then she goes away.
Shouldn't wonder if he WILL"
observes the amiable official; bue
he lies He knows he lies, and he
has lied many times. For it is no
use to tell the frail watcher that
her husband has been dead for
many years; was lost at sea.
At first, he did tell the woman
that her waiting was useless, but
he soon discovered that his telling
was no less so. A wistful, know
ing smile would light up the wither-
ed face, and the grey head would
give a contradictory shake. ooh,
YES. he'll come" she would saw.

KIDNAPPED A JUDGE TO TAKE HIM TO
A BANQUET

NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-Municipal
Court Justice Thomas P. Dinnean
was about to enter his home on
Second avenue and Twelfth street
when he was suddenly seized from
behind by two powerful men, whose
faces were hidden behind masks.
Before the Judge knew what it was
all about one Of the men had
slipped bag over his head and he
was carried struggling to waiting
automobile. 1t drove off, with JUS
tice Dinnear trying to free himself
from the strong grasp in which he
was held.
Ten minutes later the taxi halted
in front of the Atlantic garden, in
the Bowery, and the prisoner was
led up the private stairway. When
the bag was removed from his head
his honor found himself in the pri-
vate banquet hall surrounded by a
host of friends.

BLOCKS OF frozen MILK
LIKE BIG CHUNKS OF ICE

AS a matter of fact, a Hardwood
employee in the service of the COM
pany three years ago said that the
concern was using cold storage
milk at that time. A consignment
of this frozen milk once sent to the
Ondawa Inn is said to have made
the patrons sick and that a vigor-
Gus protest went to the office of
the Hazelwood company, eliciting
a promise never to send any more
milk of that kind there again.
A young woman who was once
employed in the office of the
Hardwood company says that she
saw the refrigerator milk frozen
and piled up in big chunks like
ice in the coolers. She inquired
what it was and was informed
that it was frozen milk.

town last evening a bunch of young
fellows on the back platform were
daring each other to do stunts. One
of them bet the others that he
could run through the snow and
beat the car to the Northern Pa
cific viaduct. They took the bet.
Snatching off his coat and hat, the
boy leaped from the platform at
Sixteenth avenue and began his
Marathon. Every passenger on the
platform kept his neck craned
around the side Of the car, watch
ing the runner floundered through
the snow ahead of the car. A lot
of people got on the car at differ
ent points down the side of the hill,
and, as a result of that and of the
boys determined run, he reached
the N. P. tracks we'll ahead of the
car. But he felt like taking another
car home and going to bed.
Here's another tale anent street
cars. Matching" for the carfare is
all the rage on many Of the lines.
The passengers pair off, and the
matching" is then accomplished
by pulling out coins and stating the
holders preference for heads" or
tails" While this stunt Is being
pulled off the conductors have to
wait around until they find out who
pays for the rides.

The woman is Mrs. Harriet Cole,

daughter, on Fourth avenue. The
man for whom she waits in vain
was Don Cole, who was lost at sea
so many years ago thet most sea-
farers do not recall him. The shock
was a great one to his wife, and,
with the coming of old age, her
mind has become unbalanced. She
believes that her husband still lives
and is liable to come back to her
any day, so she waits on the wharf
for him, and probably will, undis-
turbed, until the time comes when
she goes to him.

Vegetarians and Leather.

One genius has arrived DIT the re.
markable conclusion that the advanc.
ed price of shoes, for example is due
to the veSetarlans. Owing TO the agi-
tation against meat eating fewer
beeves have been killed. Thus the sup
ply Of hides has decreased, and leath-
er has advanced. That logic is alb
solutely hole proof, like the socks
we buy with coupons attached. We
knew tee vegetarians would do some
thing horrible, and now they have
done it, They ought to be made to go
barefoot, like victims of one of these
new cure cults who battle their bare
tootsies In the morning dew. II the
vegetarians viii not eat the carcass Of
the COW they should not be allowed to
wear her tanned skin. In principle 1t
Is just as bad to kill the poor beast
for her hide as 1t is for her beef. To
be consistent the vegetarians ought to
wear wooden shoes or moccasins WOW
en- from grass. Nobody but an unfeel-
ing brute and barbarian would take
life in order that he might deck his
feet with the pelt of the victim. Yet
! have never heard that vegetarians
object to wearing shoes. Why this
discrimination between the inside OF
the carcass and the outside?
What marvellous explanations are Of
fered for high prices by those who Ell
Their do not see the true cause or want
TO conceal it! Take this vegetarian
thing, for example, which has been adj
vanced seriously by business man of
repute. If he is correct in stating
that the demand for beef has fallen
off because of the anti-meat eaters,
why has not the price Of beef gone
down? As matter of fact, meat prices
have been radically advanced. 1t was
the complaint against dear beef that
had much to do with starting the
whole agitation against high prices.

prices witnessed in the last year or

There remain among possible causes
for the condition only two worthy Of
mention, the influx of gold and the
trusts. Now, If we deal with cold
facts and not with efforts to bolster
up some pet theory we shall find that
the tales of the fabulous production of
gold have been much exaggerated. 1t
would almost seem that it has been
done for q purpose by somebody who
wants to throw dust in the eyes Of the
people. Where Is ali this increased
amount Of gold? Is 1t I'm the pockets
of the people? Have you seen it? Is
II In the vaults OF the United States
treasury? Is 1t In the banks? Where
is 1t? Does IL not exist chiefly in the
lmaginations of certain statlsticiSns
who are trying to make d caset Where
is all this gold produceds In Alaska?
All the gold taken out of Alaska is
but fyspeck compared to the worlds
commerce. So far as can determine,
most of the people who claim that the
influx of gold is the cause of high
prices are taking somebody else's
word for the marvellous and stagger-
ing increase In the output Of gold.
Moreover, IL this were the real cause
II would affect all values alike, when,
as matter OF fact, 1t is universally
admitted that 1t has not affected
wages. Before coming to the last

people want the truth OF the matter
and are not particularly Interested in
partisan claims one way or the other.
Well, the truth is that there has been
an advance in prices in Europe as well
as America, though not to the same
extent. Part of Europe is free trade.
1t is also true that here at home arti-
cles on the free list have been affected
by the rise as well as those that are
protected. Hides were conspicuous for

THE INCREASED
Critical Study Of the Great
Rise IN Prices and the Causes
Which Have Brought II About.
BY JAr1Es A. EDcERroN.

"HE inquiry into the cause of high
prices Is something like the
question of ''Who killed cock
robin?" Nobody knows for sure,
but everybody has his suspicious. Sen
ators Clapp and Money say the tariff
is responsible. Senator Bristow, Rep
resentative Kahn and DR.. John Wes-
ley Hill assert 1t is the trusts. Sena-
tors Bourne, Dick and Crawford, Rep
resentativeN Scott, Economic Expert
Byron w. Holt, President Taft and
Professors James b. Clarke and Davis
r. Dewey opine that it Is the influx of
gold, the consequent depreciation Of
money and higher standard of liv-
ing. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson,
Senator Dolliver and Representative
Livingston of Georgia say that too
great congestion in cities and the cor
Ollary of too few people farming have
scooted prices upward. Professor J.
r.. Kennedy Of the Illinois university
believes that the high price Of land
does the trick. Others are sure it is
the scarcity Of farm labor. There are
almost as many opinions as there are
people expressing them. All these
views are interesting, but what good
are they to the ultimate consumer,
who has to dig up the price?
Perhaps the most fearful and won
derful cause assigned to dear grocer
les and meats is the labor union.
Somebody, who shall be nameless,-
says that the trades organization is
