Confession
By EDITH V. ROSS

When Tom AShworth and Emma
! Treats engagement was announced
everybody said ''Thatll be a case of
Mr.. and Mrs. Devil" The remark didn't
mean that either of them had been con-
victed of theft, murder or bigamy. 1t
meant that Tom was a man of the
world and would never do for super
intendent of a Sunday school, and that
Emma had been engaged half a dozen
times not emerging from any of her
betrothals with clear record for hav-
! ing treated her fiance hOnorably. Not
that she thought she had treated him
dishOnorably. 1t was simply that she
had no conscience in such matters.
One evening after she had become
engaged to Tom Ashworth and while
he was calling upon her she said
tom, have been told by my friends
that you have the worst record of any
man in society. wonder if after all
will be safe in marrying you,

serious air said:

Now, | think it best before taking
Il step that is very difficult to back out
of that we know the worst about each
other. Let us make clean breast of
it; then if after being married we hear
anything detrimental to each other
We'll know just what it MEANS"

Pitiful End Of the woman Who
DareS."
dorothy Dix. in American Weekly }
a middle-aged woman, with hair
grizzled and gray. with a form that
was losing its litheness and settling
into the gauntness of age, and a face
where the roses had faded and the
wrinkles were coming, shot herself
a few days ago before an open win
dow through which she could see the
man she loved with a young girl who
was her rival.
This woman belonged to a good
family. She was educated and re-
fined She had been married and
had an honorable place in society,
but she fell in love with a man she
believed to be her affinity, and she
had left all that a woman should
hold dear and sacred and followed
him.
For sixteen years she had known
what it was to endure social ostra-
cism, to have other women draw
away their skirts from her, to know
that people never mentioned her
name without telling of her shame
Then, as the years went by, the
man began to grow tired of her. He
did not come to see her so often. He
was irritable and ill-tempered when
he did come. Rumors reached her
of his attentions to other women.
The woman knew that his love for
her was dying. and she began that
hopeless and pathetic struggle that
many woman makes to hold a
man who is weary of her, and to
blow into fresh flame passion that
has burned itself cut.
But to no avail Such a man al
ways follows the bent of his fancy
He was tired of the woman. A new
fancy beckoned him. and at last the
woman knew herself forsaken and
deserted.
The story of this woman's life is
not a peculiar one Except for a
few details it is the story of prac-
tically every married woman who
goes wrong. and forsakes husband
and home and respectability for some
man of whom she is enamored. You
cannot pick up a newspaper without
reading of some such woman. de-
serted by the lover for whom she has
sacrificed her honor
1t is the inevitable end of the ro-
nance that begins so beautifully,
and | especially commend this fea-
ture of it to those poor, foolish wom-
en- who are dallyins with temptation,
and who believe that they can eat
stolen fruit and not find it dust and
ashes on their lips.
The end of the romance is always
tears and sorrow unless its first
chapter is written in truth and hon
or. 1t sounds very alluring to the
dissatisfied married woman to tell
her that she has right to happi-
ness and love, ana to live her own
life in her own way. 1t sounds noble
and beautiful for man to tell her
that he will take her away from an
unsympathetic life and devote the
balance of his days to making her
happy, She may convince herself
that love is the only bond that can
hold people together.
She does not foresee that in time
her life will become one mad, fran
tic, heartbreaking effort to hold a
man who is trying to get away from
her, and that with every shred of
the dignity Of her womanhood torn
into tatters and dragged into the
dust, she will be on her knees beg
ging him not to rOrsake her.
Yet that is what happens. That is
the way the romance ends for the
woman who dares."

To Save the Tablecloth.
Pacific Homestead: To avoid the
necessity of laundering an otherwise
perfectly clean tablecloth because of
the accidental fruit stain, carefully
slip folded towel between cloth and
table padding, ami on this towel
place an empty bowl having the
stain directly over the bowl. Pour
boiling water through the stain until
it fades away. Now remove the
bowl, lay another towel over the wet
place and iron with not iron until
nearly dry. Carefully slip out under
the towel and pass the iron again
| over the cloth for few times. Your
cloth will be as fresh as ever, with.

A Handy Book SatcheI.
An ingenious girl made for herself
very useful and well-designed
school bag. She got enough brown
oilcloth to make the two sides, and
bound them together with dark red
braid At the top she made a deep
flap to drop over the opening and
put on two snap-hooks to hold it
shut. Two long loops of the red
braid We're sewed on at the top cor
ners, and these were to put over the
arm or shoulder, for she made them
plenty long enough to suspend the
bag from the shoulder.
On the outside OF the bag she put
two deep, narrow pockets; the edges
OF these were also bound neatly with
the red braid. These pockets were
for pencils, erase"s, penholders and
ruler, and kept them from getting
mixed up inside the bag with books
and papers. These little pockets
were also provided with closing flaps
which fastened over the openings by
means of the snap-hooks.
A handler school bag could not be
devised, and, being made of oilcloth,
it saves the books and papers from
getting wet if the owner is caught
out in a rain.
Mending Holes in Kid Gloves.
Small holes in black or white kiG
gloves can easily be made with court
plaster. Cut the plaster little
larger than the hole itself and stick
it to the under part of the glove di-
rectly over the hole, pressing the kid
down smooth on the sticky surface
of the plaster. This will last as long
as the gloves themselves do.
To Care for Range.
Wet a cloth with kerosene and 30
over the range once week. The
same cloth can be used to wipe the
top after each meal. Once a month
go over the range with linseed oil.
/ 1t will never need blacking If cared
for this way. Wornout stockings
make good stove rags.

Colville exhibitors at the Spo-
kane fair were evidently we'll in
the running, judging by the
prizes which they bring home.
Walter Gammage. on his Silver
Campine exhibit, won first and
second cock, second and third
cockerel, first, second and third
hen, first, second and third pull
let, which is about all any one
man could ask. w. A. Hughes
of Crystal Falls won first on
sheaf grain. second on five vari-
eties sheaf grain, second on
grasses, third on wheat, second
on bluestem, third on feed oats,
first on rye, third on Dent corn,
third on beans, third on white
beans, second on bundle corn,
first on 10 varieties sheaf grass
es, second on farm exhibit grass
es, first on farm exhibit timothy,
sheaf and seed. w. w. Camp
bell won second on sheaf grain.
Stevens county could have clean
ed the board on agricultural lines
if sufficient interest had been
taken by our ranchers, and it
might be said that the prizes this
year were worth going after, to
say nothing of the advertising
value which would accrue to this
section.
In the fruit section, not many
entries were made from this
county. Prizes won were: j.
C. Eakle first on non-irrigated d
10-oz, and w. W. Campbell Sec
ond; non-irrigated Winter Ban
ana, Campbell second; non-irri-
gated Clapp's Favorite pear, J.

Colville's second Yep-Kanum,
last week, was such an evident
success that already plans are be-
ing laid for next years event.
Most citizens realize the bene-
fit, both direct and indirect, of
offering an annual play spell to
the people of this section-an oc-
casion when pleasure can be
combined with business in a
manner to advertise the town,
the county and the resources of
this section. But perhaps few
people realize the amount of
work necessary to plan, prepare
and create ttis annual festival.
The governing board of the
chamber of commerce is respons-
ible for the details, and the
boards of the first two years
have given an amount of time
and work which must be recog-
nized.
The agricultural, horticultural
and dairy parts of the exhibit
have not been fully appreciated,
and in another year more effort
must be expended in these lines.
or they should be omitted. This
year Yep-Kanum came at least
three weeks too early to draw
ranchers or ranch exhibits in
great numbers. The first week
in October is the best for the far
mer, but for several reasons is
later than is desired to secure
other attractions.
In a business way, Yep Kanum
is valuable to Colville-not so
much for the actual wares sold
during the week, but in advertis-
ing the city and the mercantile
houses in a general way. And
throughout the state, has receiv-
ed marked attention, and its
Yep Kanum is not a word with
out a meaning. 1t has come to
stay.

Declaring that basket ball is
an injurious form of exercise for
girls, Miss Fannie Buckley has
decreed that the game must not
be indulged in by girls under her
charge in the physical depart
ment of the North Central high
school in Spokane. Basket ball

exercise" observes Miss Bick-
ley. Hereafter shall not al

any form of competitive games,
for many girls are strained in
this manner and often do them
selves injury for life. They will
not be allowed to become over
taxed, and the gymnasium work
will be more along systematic
lines of study" Non-competi-
tive gymnasium work, in which
all girls may participate rather
than a few who are athletically
inclined will be substituted for
basket ball. The new ruling has
caused some disappointment on
the part of many of the girls in
the high school, as interschool
basket ball games have been a
feature since the school was
founded.

It has been recently ascertain
ed that by an oversight or some
misapprehension on the part of
the legislature. the season is now
open for the killing of China
pheasants. These birds, which
were planted in Stevens county
about six years ago, were sup
posed to be protected until 1915.
When these birds were first
brought to Stevens county it was
thought by many that they
would not thrive in this climate,
but according to reports from
farmers, sportsmen and the
game wardens, the China pheas-
ant during the past two years
has become acclimated and is
propagating very rapidly.
Notwithstanding the fact that
under q strict construction of the

game laws these birds are not
protected. it seems to be the
sentiment of all true sportsmen,
members of the rod and gun
clubs, the county game commits
sioners and the game warden
that these birds should not be
slaughtered this season, and that
some legislation for their further
protection should be initiated.
It may be said that these beau
tiful game birds were planted in
Stevens county at a cost of 81
per pair to the game fund, and
that many farmers as we'll as the
game warden have fed and cared
for them for several years until
many focks have become almost
domesticated, and to have them
annihilated at this time is un-
sportsmanlike to say the least.

democrats in the senate on the
passage of the democratic tariff
reduction bill. Senator Poindex-
ter stated that while the bill did
not please him entirely. yet it
was better than the present law
and it might be observed that
despite his many party affilia-
tions, Poindexter has shown by
many of his votes a willingness
to conform his vote to the
popular demand.
