There is yet left an occasional
oasis in the desert Of life. By this
we mean that there is ample reason
that one need not lose confidence In
all the human family. MS there are
those left who are fair minded enough
to deal squarely and honestly with
their fellowman. We refer especially
at this time to two occasions where
In property was lost on the state road
of late between Logan and the Idaho
state line. In both instances the ind

It on a mound of rocks along side the

Bancroft and Soda Springs, In his
observations of the frosted wheat IN

he believed the reports to be greatly

have been to the effect that the dam
aged crops were much heavier per-
centage.

FIGHTING FOR MONEY.

Many moons back we had some spicy remarks to make on the cheese fight champions of today. Not one word of those remarks is retracted. On the other hand, this is a sequel or second volume. Never in the history of the prize ring were there such passel of money diggers and gold snatchers. as are now plying their tangoing way through the fight clubs of the country. And the worst part of it is, all of them frankly ad- init, and without blushing, that all they care for is the coin. They care naught for the jeers, and only lit tie more for cheers, the latter be- ing slightly favored because they may mean that the next purse will be larger than the last one.
 Willie Ritchie admits that he does mt care a hang for the champion ship except that not having the title would mean smaller purses. It's the Sd4ule " "llu NUT dl ld1u, HADC0AoS AAAA bane and Coulon Ritchie, clever and game little fighter that he is, would rather lose leg or an eye than his title, if he could continue to grab the gold with the title and minus the limb or optic.
 It wasn't like that in the olden days. Fighters of the old school, fought for one or all of three req sons-glory, revenge or a living. And the least of these in the mind of the old fighter, was the money, so long as he had enough to keep the wolf from the door and buy for followers Of course, this thrift business is great stuff. Far be it from us to knock the habit of saving; but pray also deliver us from the cheese camp who tangoes instead of fights, and doesn't care hang for the public so long as the purses are big.

STOLEN AS 4 BOY
 NOW FINDS HOME
After IA Years Youth Returns
 to Mothers Aunt.

Seattle, Wash.-John James Hurley. who was Kidnapped fourteen years ago. speeded back to his mother, sisters and brothers at Punxsutawney. Pa., his identification having been fully estab- Iished by the Seattle police and those of his old home town.
 John James, as he was known until 2 few days ago. was stolen from his mother at Punxsutawney when ne was six years old. He always has believed that his kidnaper was his father. He knew the man as Hurley. The mother in Pennsylvania has kept up search for the boy. and John James. remem- bering coal mines and Pennsylvania and town the name of which was so odd he could never bring 1t from his childhood memories. also has striven to establish his identity. Since having been cast off i've years ago by the man who stole him he has been busy sending letters to the police of various towns in Pennsylvania.
 Mrs. Emma FIoetke. who had a boarding house in a Washington lum- Der camp where John James worked. heard his story and. having lived ln western Pennsylvania. she advised him to write to Punxsutawney. He did so two weeks ago and m answer came from Chief of Police Palmer and one from the mother Through the ex- change of letters John James identity has been fully established
 John James thinks that the first town to which he was taken after he /; was stolen was Chicago. His kidnap- CT. who was coal miner. then took him to Belt. Mont. Later they went to Helena. Mont. and hack again to Crescent, Pa: where the hoy was placed in school

Advertising! The thoughtful man thinks ahead. The prudent man pro fits by his ability to forecast the flu ture as we'll as to scrutinize the pres ent. One of the most prominent ad- verusers in the country says he makes it rule to increase his advertising appropriation whenever business slackens and he doubles and trebles it in times of severe business depres- sion. This is his logical conclusion:
 The new customers that ] get when times are hard, I always keep when times become good. They come to me largely from those who lose them because they fail to. continue, their publicity campaigns. A business de- pression in this country never lasts long and it is always seed-time for me.

Mile. Lscaux's Refusal to Leave Her Couch Is Unexplained. <.
 Paris. Mile Lecaux. who has for seventy-five years been, living in the environs of Paris and in perfectly good health. has remained abed for tifty-five years. The reason Is un- known.

 A caller Investigating the case was shown into a white room containing a bed in wooden alcove closed by white curtains like sepulcher.
 The family objected to the visit, saying that she was in bad humor. and her authoritative voice, strong and healthy. gave evidence of the fact. She then ordered dinner-radishes. mutton and black coffee.
 Several doctors who have visited her report that her digestion is admirable. Her limbs are only slightly feeble from disuse.
