1t is then. dear wife, we linger, hand
in hand, before the door, while Old Glory
gets. the last red ray of light: but some
how-there's something wanting. as we
count our blessings Ger: do we miss the
old-time worries of this night?
There is no adhesive plaster on the
table in the hall: there's no pleasant

within call-we can jest at burns, who
have 10 kids to wound.
Dear 10 and Bob and Sammy have
climbed up the slope of time where the
cruel cannon cracker charms them lot;
they have drifted far and outward on
the chaneful tide of time: theirs the
worries now we have almost forgot.
1t is sinful, dear. I wonder. to regret

It Leaked But It Wasn't Right

Hyrum Allen, Deputy Sheriff Fack-
rell, Mayor West, Chief Simmons, the
editor of the Optimist and several
other men had a shock when No. l
arrived Tuesday morning. A trunk,
from whose every crack a richly color
ed amber liquid was exuding, was un-
loaded and laid on truck for several
minutes. Hyrum Allen, connoisseur on
various oils, refused to fall for the
stuff. He said "Why, if that was real
booze you could hear the residents Of
the remote parts of the county yelling
at their horses right now, as they beat
it toward this oasis Mayer West
stood aloof and let the others dis
cuss it. Chief Simmons sidlcd up and
let little drop on his hands, took a
smell and laughed, saying cts been

which Mr.. Whitten drove up, probab-
ly on high speed. The engine was
killed before the ascent was made
and the machine started to back
down tho hill What followed is hard
lv clear to anyone in the car, but 1t
is thought that in endcavoring to work
the emergency brake, Mr.. Whitten
used the reverse lever and augmented
the speed with which the car des-
acended the hill. When crossing the
bridge over the Corbett Slough dltcn
it ran off the bridge, dropping JUS.

the mud. Mrs. Davis escaped serious
injury, but Mr.. and Mrs. WhitteA were
seriously injured. The car pinned
them down, resulting in fracturing Mr..
Whitten's scull, breaking his right
leg, while Mrs. Whitten received a
compound fracture of the right leg
above the ankle. They were both
held uunder tho car in about six inch
es of water for nearly one half hour
before they could be released.
Drs. Mitchell and Hoover were
called and the patients wero taken to
the hospital where they have been
under the care of nurses and physl

Old Folks Day
at Moreland

The annual celebration Of Old Folks
Day at Moreland was held Wednesday
afternoon. Bishop England, Of More
land ward, delivered an address of
welcome, which was responded to by
Hon. Peter G. Johnston. Mrs. Karl
P. Brown gave several readings, q
chorus Of Moreland girls rendered
songs, Miss Oral Rich, with all the
charm which characterizes her, gave
reading, Julius Noack held a little
comic talk with the audience, but it
remained for G. H. Smith to make the
hit Of the day. He said that Eng
land had been fortifying tho new
school house with fried chicken and
cake for several days, but that he be-
lieved that the sons and daughters Of
America, by a concerted effort, could
break down those breast works and
take possession and that he, at the
conclusion of the program would vol
unteer to lead them cs an army into
the stronghold of the enemy and con-
fiscate the provender laid by.
Five hundred strong the people
arose and followed their leader from
the hall to the big school. By actual
count there were 200 chickens. 109
cakes beside ice cream, salad and
everything that the women Of More
land ward could cook The battle
was glorious one but it brought
sadness to the hearts of many at the
close, because they had no capacity
for more.
The devoting of day to our par
ents in an endeavor to show our
regard for them is small matter in
point of hours, but it shows devo-
tion that should be followed by every
one that thy days be long upon the
land which the Lord, thy God, giveth
thee.

HELD UP AND
MONEY TAKEN

Tuesday evening about 10:30 p. m.
George Campbell was held up and
sixteen dollars taken from him by a
masked man. Chief Simmons, Night
Watch Sewell, Sheriff Jones and De
putty Fackrell shook the town down
watching every train and every man
that even had suspicion of having
that amount on him. AS Park Train
No. 16 was pulling out man made
a run from the shadows of the old
depot and swung on the last coach
and it is very natural for the officers
to believe that he was the man who
frisked Mr.. Campbell.
The taking Of money out Of town thi
way is even worse than the much Gus
sed mail order house. A young
boy reported that he was held up
just before Campbell and stood across
the street with a girl and saw the
man hold Campbell up, but the Off
GERS believe that with careful treat
ment the boy will come out of it all
right.

The bill creating the new county from
a part Of Klickitat had been passed by

Joaquin Miller Succumbs After Long
Illness In California Home.

OAKLAND, Cal, Feb. 18.-Tele-
grams of sympathy from all over the
world poured in here today on the
widow of Joaquin Miller, the famed
Poet of the Sierras," who died late
yesterday at his home in the hills over
looking this city. The widow and his
only child, Miss Juanita, are prostrat.
ed over the poets death.
Miller knew that he was near death.
Just before the end he tried to move
from his couch, but the effort proved
fruitless. Turning to his aged wife,
he whispered: II love you Abbie. !
love you. Abbie. Goodbye"
The next words, which were his
last, were scarcely audible.
II can't live" he said. Il am dying.
Oh. take me away. We angels. Take
me away. I hear ye."
Miller's death was directly due to
diabetes and hardening of the arteries.

CENTURY AND A HALF.

How the world do novel"
Stop little while tomorrow in your
celebration of the birthday of this
country's first president and consider
the amazing progress that our nation
has made. industrially, socially. poll
tically, in the century and half from
Washington's time to ours.
Progress is a comparative thing.
Simplicity was the feature of Washing
tons day as complexity is of ours,
simplicity in government as we'll as in
industry. Where our forefathers
worked singly, we work in large
groups, and so it has come about where
our forefathers governed themselves
singly we have found it necessary te
govern ourselves through the means o.
larger organizations.
We sometimes forget these things.
