in darkness athwart the churchyard
Behold an emblem of myself" he
exclaimed and the sharp arrows Of
unavailing remorse struck him TO the
heart.
Then he remembered his early COM
panions, who had entered life with
him, but who having trod the paths Of
virtue and industry, were now happy
and honored on this New Years
night. The clock in the high church
tower struck, and the sound, falling
on his ear, recalled the many tokens
Of the love of his parents for him;
the prayers they had offered up in his
behalf. Overwhelmed with shame
and grief, he dared no longer look to-
ward that heaven where they dwelt.
His dHr',oDed eyes dropped tears, and
with Cne despairing effort he cried
aloud, Come back, my early days!
Come back"
And his youth did return; for all
this had been but a dream, visiting
his slumbers on New Years night.
He was still young, his errors only
were no dream. He thanked God fer.
vently that time was still his own:
that he had not yet entered the deep.

the road leading to the peaceful land

INDIAN BURGLAR
 CARRIED \ CLUE
The Arrest of John Greenleaf
 Wkittier.

A small grocery store belonging to of the Center street bridge, was burg larized on Saturday night and the fin ger of suspicion was quickly directed at John Greenleaf Whittier, an Indian who has been acting as foreman of the Indians employed on the bridge.
 He was arrested by Deputy Sheriff dams and Constable Murphy, and his abiding place was searched for the plunder, consisting of about $45 in pen nies, nickels and dimes. There were some larger pieces of silver.
 The money of each denomination was in a small sack by Itself and all of them were kept in a larger sack. None of it was found but something else was discovered which it is thought is as conclusive of the guilt of the Indian as if the stolen money had been found in his p1SsC ssion.
 Entrance was made to the place by cutting the screen wire of a front door. Whittier had knife which looked as if it had lately been subject ed to that kind of use. Holding it to the light one can see the print of the
 meshes of the wire on the blade and small particles of screen wire yet ad- here to the edge.
 Whittier. notwithstanding the dis tinguished name given him when his civilization was begun has not lived up to that cognOmen by any means. He has frequently been arrested for drunkenness and other forms of mis- demeanOr

THE PACIFIC COAST
 BURNING THE WIRES
Urging Action in Favor of San Fran
 cisco for the Exposition.

The interest of all the towns in the Pacific coast region in the contest between San Francisco on New Or leans for the location of the Panania canal exposition in 1915 is becoming acute. and telegrams from every town for the next few days will burn the wires to Washington in behalf of San Francisco.
 Most of these telegrams will be sent today, for early action will probably be taken on the bill now pending in congress which was reported by the house committee last week in favor of New Orleans.
 The local office of the Western Union is prepared to handle promptly the extra volume of messages which will undoubtedly be filed there to- day. There will be hung in the front windows of the office the following placard: "Telegrams urging President Taft to support San Francisco for the exposition sent by special wire to Washington by the Western Union Telegraph company"
