IL Was > Bad Lamp.

The pastor of a church in this city
went to call on one Of his parishon-
ers who lived in a single room in a
clubhouse. He raped on the door.
There was no answer for moment
and then a rather suppressed voice
said:
''Wait a minute. ! can't let you
in now-but wait a minute
He waited. After what seemed
several minutes he heard the voice
again:
Now stand up close to the door,
aid when | open it come in as quick
? ly as you can.
II was the pastors first call, and
he began to wonder what sort of
black hand society or bomb-maxing
club he was to visit. His worst fears
seemed about to be realized for as
the door was opened he was met by
a streaming red I-ght and an evil
smell.

the man was who had invaded his

BLUE MONDAY.

When a teller feels as funny as g
hearse,
When it seems as though his lot
could not be worse,
When his color is indigo,
And his mind is workin' slow,
And the bills are comm due,
And his rolls gone up the flue,
And his hired girl has quit,
And there's no coal in the pit
And his corn is raisin' Cain,
And he's dizzy with the pain,
And his boss has called him down,
And his wife is out of town,
And is writin' home for checks,
And he's trifled with the decks,
And has lost what dough he had,
And he feels just like a cad.
And the pipes are raising hob,
Ans the plumbers on the job,
And they've gone and raised his rent
And his friends are broke or bent,
And his collar is too tight,
And his clothing is a sight,
And he needs a pair of shoes,
And he owes his lodge some dues,
And despair stalks all about,
And his pipe has gone clean out,
And some smiler comes along
With an optimistic song,
Does it not help him a lot?
Yes, more surely, it dOes-NOT.

Ecr Hidden Trensures.

Here's story that comes by wore
of mouth from travelling man
whose veracity is only exceeded by
his versatility.
One day last summer" he said
Il was supporting a cigar Indian at
a downtown corner in St Louis. On
that particular street the summer
cars are sometimes of the coffee
grinder. single-truck model, type of
1912. There were a number of shirt
and shoe factories near the corner.
It was about the closing hour, and I
noticed two girls step up to the cor
ner and sean the car tracks.
She ought to be along pretty
soon, Gerty, said one.
'Uh, huh, said Gerty.
Just then an open car came
humping along. One girl stepped OFT
and read the number.
No that's not her." she said
The same performance was fol
lowed with three or four cars until
one came into view that brought a
smile from Gerty and her friend.

GREATER IOWA CAMPAIGN.
Ex-senator LATE Young, Native
IoWan, Given Honor of Being
Original Booster For a
Greater iowa.

In Springville last night, Hon. La
| fayette Youns used some striking IL
| Illustrations of the fruit industry in
one county in Iowa. In Mills county,
where they have made fruit culture
study, last year, said Mr.. Young,
they shipped 635 carloads of apples
out of the town of Glenwood, and it
is estimated that half as many more
apples were taken overland to Coun-
Gil Bluffs by wagon, a distance OF a
little over twenty miles. One man
with seventy acres in orchards sold
$4,000 worth of fruit, and one man
made over $500 off one acre.
These were only some Of the start
ling figures that Mr.. Young han-ed
out to his astonished audience. Mr..
Young, it may be said is doing, a
mighty fine work for Iowa in this
year of our Lord. He is, of course,
interested in the United States SEN
atorShip, but he is not talking or
binary politics. In most places he
does not even mention the fact, in
his speeches, that he is candidate
at all. He is, instead, talking Iowa.
He is telling the people what great
state we live in and he is telling
them to fall in love with their own
state Mr.. Young was born in Iowa
and he has devoted his whole life
to the state. He loves Iowa and no
one who has heard his speeches this
year can have any doubt about either
the strength or the sincerity of that
love. We would that there were
more politicians who would talk
more about the welfare of the state
than to talk about themselves and
the petty little issues that the poll
ticians are in the habit of conjuring
up to give Importance to themselves.
We are not dealing with Mr..
Dung, the candidate, now, but with
Mr.. Young, the publicist, and we con-
fess that he has set an example that
others ought to follow, others among
the politicians. He is showing them
that a man can make himself heard
and interesting while talking about
other things than mere petty politics.
Mr.. Young's campaign in this respect
has been so successful that all the
for governor are pattern
ing after it themselves They are
making booster campaigns instead OF
mere political campaigns. A short
time ago there was quarrel about
who set that new fashion, but we
believe that Mr. Young is entitled to
about all the credit there is in the
new style of campaigning.-Ce

TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR GIRLS.


First-Thou shalt not think thysel
The fairest one alive,
Nor tell thy friends, when thirty,
Thou art only twenty-five.
Second-Thou shalt not nirt with
men,
Nor win their hearts in play;
The spinster of tomorrow
Is the maiden of today.
Thjrd-Go light on talcum,
For before they're sweet sixteen,
Some girls chalk up their features,
Till they look like Marceline.
Fourth-If thou shouldst some day
find
Thy hair was growing thin,
Thou shalt not sport the pigtail
Of Chinese Mandarin.
/ .fth-If indigestion's blight
Upon thy life should come,
Partake of liquid pepsin,
For thou shalt not chew gum.
Sixth-Thou shalt not try to squeeze
Thy foot into a shoe,
That ought to be number four,
But is number two.
Seventeen trashy novels
Thou should'st never love to gloat,
But spend thy time on politics,
If thou would'st some day vote.
Eighth-Thou shalt not gossip,
Nor give ear to every tale;
The female of the speeches
Would be better off in Jail.
Ninth-Don't act the clinging vine
When visitors come in,
And next day lead bargain rush,
To buy paltry pin.
Tenth-Assist thy mother
And don't be inclined to roam,
The angel of the lover
Is the angel of the home.

Schools Involved

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-President
Taft has suspended Commissioner of

der, which prohibited wearing of dis
tinctive religious insignia and religious

demonstration. Circulars denouncing
Smith and his methods had been passed
among the throng of bystanders in the
vicinity of the platform where the
evangelist was to speak.
When the taunts and jeers became
so loud and threatening as to interfere
with Smiths sermon, the police drew
their revolvers and arrested six of the
disturbers. Frequently along the line
of march, which led through the busf-
ness section Of the city, the parade and
Smith were hissed, but the marchers
continued in line, singing hymns. They
far out numbered their opponents.

MRS. Hazard Held
GUILTY BY JURORS
Manslaughter Agreed on After
Twenty Hours for Death
By Starvation

SEATTLE, Feb. 4.-AIrs. Linda Bur-
field Hazard, the Seattle starvation
doctor" was found guilty of man
slaughter by jury in the Kitsap
county superior court at Port Orchard
tonight for having caused the death by
starvation of Miss Claire. Williamson,
an English heiress who underwent Mrs.
Hazards fasting treatment.
The penalty for manslaughter is an
indeterminate term in the penitentiary
of from 1 to 90 years. The court has
not set the day for passing sentence.
The jury was out more than 90 hours.
Only one formal ballot was taken, that
upon which the verdict of guilty was
returned several preliminary verbal
ballots were used until the jurors
agreed On the first of these five voted
for murder in the first degree. four for
murder in the second degree, one for
manslaughter and two refused to ex-
press an opinion. The five who voted
for a first degree verdict stood firm
until the last when they too agreed to
manslaughter.
Mrs. Hazard was the last person to
enter the courtroom before the ver-
dict was read She was accompanied
by her husband and number of
friends Miss Dorothea Williamson,
sister of the woman for whose murder
Mrs. Hazard was tried. went to Ta-
coma early in the afternoon and was
not in court.
AS the signed verdict was handed to
the clerk to be read Mrs. Hazard bit
her lips tightly. but showed no other
emotion. Just as the clerk began to
read the verdict the private gas plant
that supplied the courthouse failed and
the room was left in darkness. Matches
were burned to enable the clerk to fin
ish the reading.
Counsel for Mrs. Hazard gave notice
of an appeal and asked that the bond
be fixed at $1,000. The states repre-
sentatives objected and Judge Yaker
fixed the bond at $4,000. The argu-
ments were made in absolute darkness.
Mrs. Hazard did not comment on
the verdict in court but after she left
the building in the custody of the
sheriff she burst into a storm of de-
nunciation of the persecution she al
legged she had been subjected to by
members of the medical profession.
f. d. Karr, of counsel for Mrs. Haz-
zard, said that he would rather have
verdict of manslaughter than dis
agreement, as it gave the defense an
opportunity to present the many dis
court. In arguing for low bond Karr
said that Mrs Hazard was at the end
of her resources.
