a thoroughfare which led to the dur

that intervene between the KaslNnir
gate and the camp, but all that we
had seen en- route was forgotten in
the dazzling spectacle presented In
the White City itself. The richly

to the Indian princes, with their
priceless draperies and their retain

SO the need-Boyce feud began.
Within the last six months six per-

with the feud, have died violent

sweetheart, Lena Snyder He pros
pered in the cattle business. He
idolized his wife and their little
girls. Mrs. Sneed was a devoted
mother They lived happily at Amar-
lilo, Texas.
After 10 years the Sneeds met AL
Boyce again. He came down from
his ranch to visit--freQuently. He
had been dissipated. Mrs. Sneed tried
to reform her childhood playmate.
One day Sneed came home and
found AL Boyce holding his wife's
hand Mrs. Sneed said Al was only
looking at her fingernails-she was
sick and her nails were so blue.
Sneed believed her.
1t was Oct. IS, 1911, when his wife

and wished to go away with him. She
wanted to take the children-at

Sneed's defense was that he killed

is purely voluntary, each ready and

others along. Those who have indie

STROLLER WHITE

The Stroller. in reply to an invi- tation to stand for the legislature from the Skagway district, modestly declines the honor. having in mind a few complications which might srise were the fifteenth candidate to throw his hat in the ring. Here's the Stroller:
 To the people of Skagway:-
 Yours inviting the Stroller to pro- cure a residence in your town in or. der that he may be eligible to cleo ton as your representative to the territorial legislature which you think you will have when that badly cut. slashed and pruned and other wise mutilated and amputated home rule bill passes, Was received and has been duly considered: but the Stroller Is forced to decline to even consider the suggestion. He Is of Che opinion that those sending tho Invitation had not thoroughly eanvass ed the situation as 1t exists in your town. for. when the Stroller was there six weeks ago he was button holed by no less than forty of your leading citizens, each of whom whis- pered to him in confidence: "I ex- pect to represent this district in the territorial legislature. Anything you can do for me will be greatly ap- preciated. Have something"
 In view of the fact therefore that the Stroller promised each man of the forty to do what he could for him and also "had something" on each of the forty, 1t would look very much

like a betrayal of confidence for the Stroller to step in and "knock the persimmon." Besides. under your home rule bill. as 1t left the upper house of congress. there will be no. thing for your representative to do and any one of the forty ought to be able to fill the position. In case the bill should be changed giving your your legislators any authority, the Stroller agrees to furnish your representative all the advice he will require and the ends desired will be thereby served practically as we'll as though the Stroller was your man.
 The only difficulty in the way is you have 80 many local aspirants for the position that there will be enough of them disappointed to de- feat the one you may select for your candidate. The situation is one which demands delicate handling and to do that 1t will be necessary to use considerable diplomacy in or der that each of the thirty-nine who are left" will think he will be the favorite next time. In other words. you must play politics-lie until you are black in the face.
