Then followed the story. The man had
no immediate family. He lived alone
with one old servant The house was
bolated, surrounded by q hedge fence.
Three persons had seen a man in that
vicinity about midnight, the time Of the
murder, a man with q beard. And
there were grains Of morphine on the
floor beside the old mans bed. The
murderer was a dope hend. He had
stopped to take his dose even as he
killed.
The woman Of &c. simple, honest,
blunt Of Imagination, looked from this
matter over to the other matter-"Un-
known man." Just what happened in
4ary's soul she nor no one else will
ever know. Her own statement on
record Is merely, ut came to me and

She put on her hat, then took the
ring and the partly filled bottle Of NOR

where the unknown man was. He lay

sought out the unknown man. He
looked very much like her son. "Provi-

She bent over him and left the ring
and the morphine bottle-in his pocket?
No. And here Is Mary's one great
stroke that makes her. a novice In

As Mary went out she saw q police
captain and q patrolman approaching.
She fingered and saw them go to the
cot Of the unknown man. Then she
heard the words:
"This looks like our man, captain"
Then-"It is. Here's the ring-yes, and
the morphine"
Mary went home and shaved of her
sons beard as he slept. That night the
mother and son and the $500 went to
Bennington, VT. From there few days
later they crossed into Canada. Mary.

who had killed and stolen. And about
the search for the $1,000 the old mans
servant said was taken. And how the
three persons who saw the murderer
swore that the unknown man was he.
The unknown man had softening OF the
brain and was sent to an asylum. He
was still unidentified.
Mary purchased a little farm, spend
ing $4,000 OF the $1,000. And there she
and her son lived for nine years. The
farm under Mary's guidance prospered
wonderfully. Then the son died. At
once Mary sold the farm and returned

4 bill has been introduced in the congress of the United States to pro- vide an illiteracy test fo, all voters,
 The same bill has been before con- gress before. Was in fact passed and then vetoed by President Taft
 It Is pesumed that Mir Taft had some good reason in vetoing this measure although it is hard to see why such a bill should not meet with the appoval of all men who desire to see the politics of the country take on a higher and more honest tone than we are forced to believe exists at pre- sent.
 It hardly seems just the thing that a man who cannot read or write, sometimes not even his own name, should be considered to have enough intelligence to cast a vote on any question affecting the public interests.
 The illiteracy of such T large num- Der of male voters is one of the argu- ments advanced by women as a reason why they should have the vote.
 It is hard to see just where their argument affects the case. Certainly. however. they are right if they object to the iiliterate man voting, but it is hard to sec how matters would be improved by adding to this already far too great number tho illiterate women
 There are about one-third too many people casting ballots in this country. The class is composed of the aforsaid illiterate. together with uneducated foreigners who have be- come citizens and of the rag tag and bob tall of the country who cast a vote for the price of beer.
 Add to this mass of uneducate6 voters the same number of women who are illiterate and we will make the condition just twice as bad.
 Of course there was some yer, good reason why President Taft veto. cd the bill and in this instance we dt not seem to connect his action witt nj sbig brother in Wall Street or any other influence.
 Perhaps he thought of it all by him. self and just vetoed it because no ont told him not to. It would have beer q novel experience to handle a situa. ton like that all by himself and no1 have his friend Roosevelt. they were friends once. tell him what to do. ol to send over and ask brother Charlie or any of the other mon. who sat be. bind the wide throne and pulled th, s4ings. if he should put his pame t tho bill or not.

telegram from Washington which states that because of the right of way given the currency bin in the national congress long delay may be expected in the passage of any relief measure for Nome.
 The same telegram says that every effort is being made and will continue to be made to bring the relief bill through the senate.
 There is no telling how long the currency bill will occupy the minds of the distinguished legislators in Wash ington. From all appearances 1t will : be for some considerable time for the path of the currency bill through the senate is reported as going to be any. thing but smooth.
 Nome is not particularly concerned with the currency bill. It is probably a very good bill and if the president of the United States wants it to pass it should. and probably will pass, though there are rumors to the effect that the senate is getting ready to protest against being dictated to by the executive branch of the govern ment. But Nome is particularly in- terested in the passage of the relief bill introduced for her benefit and Nome is going to regret that the bill did not get through before this cur rency matter was taken up,
 The currency is a national question md the relief of Nome i, a very small local question to the legislators in Washington. no matter how large it seems to us here in Nome. 'ht people ot ~ome must be united .. ,he desirab .lity of getting a lift at ttls time from congress. But also they must be united in the firm belief that whether such relief is furnished now or later or not at all that Nome will weather the financial storm that seems to at present threaten the city treasury.
 There has been considerable of burden cast upon the city. partially. very largely. as result of the disaster of some weeks ago but 30 far all obligations have been met and sll destitute people cared for The same hardy spirit that carried the people through the first days after the storm and through the days of reconstruction will manifest itself ell through the winter and. as the NUG- GET has consistently maintained. there is going to be a bright future right here in this little old Nome. We do not mean that there is anything in 1 the present to Do downcast about. But every place and every man looks for ward to advancement and develop. ment
 l One way to insure advancement and development and progress and pros perity is to predict it and then to strive to make the predictions come true.
 When the NUGGET predicts future prosperity for Nome 1t does not mean to infer that at present Nome is dead. That would be most absurd posi- tion for anyone or any paper to take whose object was to boost the town In talking of the prosperity of the future one does not necessarily have to infer that the present is destitute A man may be getting along fairly well in his business but just for that he does not quit striving for more business.
 A town may look forward to a fut- ure of great commercial advancement may work and strive and preach fol

 that she is standing still or going

 was taken just in a spirit of boyish exhuberance because nobody was looking and he could do it all by him. self.
 In no other way can we account for the killing of measure that seems of so much importance to the health and proper growth of the body polite. Certainly if there is any test in the world which ought to apply in decideing who should and who should not vote it should be a test of edu- cation in this land where education is free to all.
 Now Chairman Burnett has rein troduced the bill which Mir. Taft veto- ed and it would seem that if 1t was n bill wise enough to be passed by the last congress that 1t would probably be passed again and if it is a good bill and properly covers the purpose for which 1t Is drawn then 1t is more than likely that President Wilson. who is an educated man himself as well as an educator will approve the measure and we will have the test so much needed in qualifying our voters.
