which makes him repentant.
The Pied Piper will be shown all week,

Ever Become Lawyers.
Leslie NJ. Shaw, former Secretary of
the Treasury, now of Philadelphia. is in
Washington. What he said to the STU
dents of the Washington College of Law
in an impromptu address last night, al
most made the hearts of some of the
young girl law students spring into their
thrOats
Very, very, few women ever become
lawyers" he said, shaking his head
But I might say very few Of the men
are successful, and even fewer of the
women But that is no reason why you
should not study law. II is for your
betterment and will help you in your
life's work"
He summed up his remarks by saying
that to succeed in the law, a person must
have three things, aptitude, environment
of the law, such as courts, and energy.
After the girls had recovered from their
shock, they, with the men, applauded the
former Secretary of the Treasury and
declared they were ready to at least ap-

ELDERLY WOMAN MISSING.

1t seems that a Mrs. Lorraine
HlXsen, of Oregon, far advanced
in years, who started from her
home several weeks ago to visit
with relatives in Spokane and
Loomis, has been missing and no
clue has been found as to her
whereabouts, although from the
item below, taken from the
SpokesmanReview, it appears
that she was last seen at Pasco.
There is a Hixsen family living
in the vicinity of LOOMS. No
doubt they are the people that
the old lady started out to visit,
and they may be able to throw
some light upon the case. The
item referred to is as follows;
When Mrs. f. C. Lewis, of
PascO, read in the Spokesman Re-
view of the mysterious disap-
pearance of Mrs. Lorraine Hixsen.
81 years of age, who left her
home in Pleasant Valley, Ore,
to visit friends in LOOMS and
Spokane, but failed to arrive at
either place, she Immediately
recognized the description as
that Of the elderly woman she
had seen and talked to in the de
pot at Paso the night of Decem
ber |. The old lady had been
missing nearly three weeks when
The local police were notified, so
that was just about the time
Mrs. HiXsen was on her journey,
Mrs. Lewis says the old lady
seemed confused and had lost
her ticket, which was on the
window of the car she had Just
left. She was on her way to
North Yakima, she said, TO visit
her son, George Hixsen. Mrs.
Lewis paid little attention to the
matter at the time, but she is
now convinced that her acquain-
tance and the missing woman are
the same person. The descrip-
ton she gives tallies exactly
with that of Mrs. Hixen, and the
police are satisfied that the old
lady is now with her son in
North Yakima. The old lady in
the depot at Pasco also spoke of
going to Loomis to visit rela-
tives.
