that she intends to leave. She came
TO him a few days ago and gave
that as her reason for wanting her
rent in advance hereafter. With
~herculean efforts he managed to com
ply with her request. But his spare
moments are now occupied with de-
ilberatlons as to whether she really
intends to leave or not, and he in
tends 10 find out before he pays any
more rent in advance.
AT the Sheep store. said Mr.. st.
John, there had been much specula-
ton as to the cause of Miss Butter
fields intended departure. Innumer.
able reasons had been limited at, but
she had always met hints with an
invulnerable smile. Was she to take
to herself q companion and exchange
Single happiness for matrimonial
Dliss? The only reason she would
ever venture was her desire to see
California and enjoy it's climate for
a while. To his thinking. suspicion
OF other reasons was justified. But
he hoped, that whatever they were.
her best interests would be advanced
Wherever she chose to reside.
In behalf of the lumbermen of
this vicinity G.. w. Atwood respon-
ned TO a request for more toast. He
declared that he felt himself largely
responsible for Miss Butterfield's
going away. Some time ago she had
asked him ii he knew of any Califor
MA towns where opportunities were
as good as here, and he gave her
the names of several. A short time
later she mentioned one Of these to
him and expressed a desire to 20
there. The same day he received a
telegram from the sheriff OF that
place, making full inquiry regarding
the lady. The reply Of course was
favorable, hence Miss Butterfield's
decision to leave. He hoped she
would find a good skating rink thee
and ms that would not hang un tina
old familiar sign. He started to re-
late an incident tna1 happened in Il 9
local rink, but ii was so pathetic
ina emotion forced him 10 leave il
unfinished.
Mr.. Philbrick said the guest Of
honor had been born and raised in
ONO, but left there for Missouri 10
keep the buckeyes from winking at
her. Here she became so imbued
WITH the traits OF the Missourians
mat Il was no wonder she could not
understand that Mr.. Smith was al
ways right. She had to be shown.
Five years ago she came 10 tie Gem
state and has since made this her
home. She bet Uncle sam" that
she could live eight months on z
homestead without f|linching. and al
ter much swearing, before the L. S
land commissioner she won her bet.
She has been a faithful shepherdess

behalf of her employers had been

and fidelity, and She has been equal
to all the responsibilities placed uDon
her. He expressed regret that one
Who has so endeared. herself to all
who have been associated with her
should nov leave her friends. She
would be followed by the kind wish
es OF all. and the hope that she
would find happiness and content
