John Tornow, the wild man,
was found dead yesterday in
a sitting posture besides the
bodies of Charles Lathrop
and Louis Blair, who fell VIC

Sheriff Giles Quimby, indi-

The hunt for the wild
man, who had terrorized this
part of the state for nearly
two years, came to an abrupt
ending when Sheriff Mat

four deputies and twenty
three men from the Simpson
logging camp, reached the
spot where Blair and Lathrop
died.
The bodies were lying

the congregation feels she has the right
to pick flaws in the housekeeping Of the
ministers wife, to demur at the manner in
which she trains her children and man
ages her servants-to say nothing OF the
way she treats her husband?
Think Of it carefully; be honest with
yourself. Don't you hold the notion that
you have a liberty In the parsonage or the
rectory or the manse which you would not
claim In the house Of any one else whom
you know no more Intimately than you do
your minister's wife? Don't you consider
that you understand her duties and should
suggest to her changes IN her manner or
her conduct az you never would to the or
dinary friend or acquaintance? Dent you
say sometimes that someone ought to speak
TO the pastors wife about her neglect to
call on this one or that. or upon the fact
that her front steps are not so clean as they
should be or that her children whisper to-
eether in church or are late at Sunday
school?

tions I have made that in every household
of faith there are dear friends and helpers

also that in the hearts OF many members
of the parish there is a conviction. acknowl-

that the, entire congregation has sort OF

to take liberties that any one OF the advisers

1 know also that In many churches there
seems to exist an impression that when
the clergyman was engaged his wife was
considered as part OF the bargain; that her

calls, money raising efforts, missionary

Sometimes wonder Just where began the
impression of the congregation that It had
a share in the clergyman's wife. In Mrs.
Stoves tales OF old New England we read
OF the reverence and respect in which the
minister was held. and these feelings ex-
tended to his wife. In those days there was
no talk OF her being the servant Of the
people. Yet my memory. which goes back
many years. recalls no period when It was
not felt in the majority of churches and
by the majority OF parishioners that the
minister's wife had a distinct duty toward
her husbands charge. and she was severely
blamed If she failed to fulfill this Even
today it exists in some churches.

Indeed 1t would be pity. and more than
a pity. to cut such curtains as those. A
few years ago when in Dublin 1 bought
Irish lace curtains for myself, and no mat
ter what the passing fashion nothing would
irduce me to cut those draperies. I know
it is the fashion to have curtains the length
OF the window, but it is also good style to
have them fall to the floor, and you need
not feel yourself out Of the mode II you
follow the latter method: or you may make
your curtains approximately window
length by your way of hanging them.
Throw them over the pole instead Of pin

and drape the superhuous amount as q
sort OF founce or valance at the top Of the
curtain. I have done this myself with
