murderer Of former Governor Frank
Steunenberg and confessed slayer of IA
other men, stood face to face with the
woman he had widowed aud was for.
given by her and the awful crime he hal
committed and for which he is now
spending the balance Of his life in
prison.
Aged by the crime that had been
committed upon her doorstep, when
her husband was blown into eternity
through the fateful bomb hat Orchard
had fastened to the gate, her hair
streaked with silvery gray, Mrs. Steun'
enberg nervously called upon Warden
John Shook explaining who she was
and asking that Orchard be brought
before her. The warden explained
that he would send word to Orchard
that she wanted to interview him, but
unless he wished to come of his own
accord he would not be compelled to
see her.
The message was taken to Orchard
and the face of the prisoner upon re-
ceiving the request was a study. That
the widow of the man whose death he
was responsible for would specially
make a trip to the penitentiary to see
him had never occurred to him.
"Oh," he exclaimed with a look OF
horror, 81 can't see her."
The warden had started to return to
Mrs. Steunenberg when Orchard re-
| covered from the shock and quickly
| changed his mind. Calling the warden
back he said with a great deal OF feel
ing: 81 would rather do almost any
thing else, but if Mrs. S~teunenberg has
asked to see me the least l can do is to
grant her request"
1t wa a tense moment when the two
were introduced. Mrs. Steunenberg
was the first to speak.
"Mr. Orchard, ! have made this
journey to tell you that God has told
me to forgive you; l have forgiven you
the great wrong you did me, and !
think that l will not have perfect peace
until l tell you with my own lips"
Orchards lips quivered as he tried to
formulate a reply, but he could not
master his voice. The sight Of the
woman whom he had robbed Of that
dearest TO her in life-her husband
shook the prisoner as the terrific fire of
the greatest criminal lawyers in the
United States had been unable to. He
finally managed to simmer his thanks.
Mrs. ~Steunenberg talked to him for
some little time on the peace which re-
ligion and a forgiying spirit could bring
to a sorrowing heart and then the two
parted. the little widow to return to her
home in Caldwell and Orchard to his
work in the shoe shop.
Ever since the interview Orchard has
appeared a happier man. He had been
sending two-thirds Of the little money
allowed him by the prison rules to
foreign missions and the rest to his first
wife and daughter in Canada, whom he
deserted prior to going on his campaign
of vice. which left trail of murders in
its wake and finally made him a life
prisoner. The warden advised him to
send all of his cash to his family and
Orchard accepted his advice.

 While the republicans had few kind words to say of the Presidents reciprocity treaty, the democrats hailed 1t with an air of grim satisfaction, which in some quarters closely approached jubilation. True, many democrats in Congress are unwilling to go the length the President recommends, but one and all see In his message to Congress a confession of the fact that his boasted Payne-Aldrich- Shoot act Is not the best ever placed on the statute books, as the President was wont to declare In 1910 when he was seek ing the support of the beneficiaries of republican tariff legislation.

Changes along the lines he suggests will have a tendency to reduce taxes on some of the necessities of life, and will reduce to some extent the cost of articles of daily use to the people of the United States. It would have tendency to increase trade with Canada, and help ticles of domestic production. It does not go as far as I would like on some mat ters, but as far as 1t goes it meets with my support. Undoubtedly 1t Is recogni- ton of the fact that the Payne act needs amendments and from the mouth of a republican President comes the admission that the democratic party is right"
