night, In a lonely room OF the hotel
where he had taken refuge. he sat In
the darkness for hours thinking; then
like fash he saw himself. It seemed
to him that for o. second shutter
somewhere, perhaps In some remote
lobe OF his brain-had flashed open
and he saw not only his present con-
dition, but his future. It was not a
pleasant phantom.
A half-empty bottle Of whiskey stood
at his elbow. He stared at 1t for a
minute with a scowl, as II 1t were an
actual enemy. A feeling Of nausea
crept over him. He lifted 1t. carried II
to the wash.bowl. and poured the
liquor down the drain-pipe. Then he
laid the empty bottle on q tray and
set 1t outside the door. He filled his
pipe with tobacco. pulled q chair to
the window, sat down. and stared at
the lights Of the city. He fell into
one Of his interpretive moods. He
began to trace backward every step
he had taken since the day he exacted
the forfeit OF Merry's bond. He felt
like a vessel which had slipped its
moorlngs and had been numerically
buffeted by one tempest after another.
Each one had done its work so ruth
lessly that he was human derelict

"a human derelict" stuck obstinately
In his brain; 1t described him wildly.
Already he had had more than his
deserts. The vengeance Of Zilla Paget

image flashed before his eyes; he

gone abroad through the country. and
night after night, long after the resi-

labyrinth Of boarded fronts, every seat
in the Gotham was sold before the
curtain went up.
The house was packed to the roof
on the night the play closed. 1t was
the middle OF June and the city had
grown intentionally hot. Wentworth
had spent a restless Gay. 1t seemed
to him as II the air was filed with an

SQUAW APPRECIATES TREATMENT
Hospital Care, Bouquets and Hack Ride
All Pleasing

Sylvia Terry, the squaw who was
injured during the celebration OF
the Fourth by falling from her
horse in a race, was discharged
from the City hospital Monday
morning and accompanied by her
husband departed by train for Bon
ners Ferry. Aside from her in
juries, this has unquestionably been
the experience of her life, the story
of which she will never tire of re-
counting to the sisters of her race.
1t is not given to many squaws TO
enjoy hospital care in sickness or
to receive calls from sympathetic
white people, or have bouquets in
numbers placed at her bedside, or
finally to be taken to her train in
hack. All this care and attention
Sylvia received and enjoyed. She
said the people were good to her.
which is saving a good deal for
member of the stole Indian race.
All during her stay at the hos
pital, Sylvia's husband and father
occupied tent nearby. When the
time came for their departure the
old Indian walked to the depot,
but the husband could not pass up
the opportunity for a hack ride and
with much apparent pride took his
place by the side of Sylvia and
rode in state to the station.
The celebration committee paid
Sylvia's hospital expense and DIR
Page donated his services in hel
treatment. - Pend d'Oreille Re-

AGAIN DEFEATED BY STANDPOINT
Local Ball Team Given Small End Of
Score in Sundays Game

Standpoint again carried off the
honors in the ball game last Satur-
day on the local grounds against
the Boomers Ferry team, the score
being 9 to 3. 1t was much more
interesting game than the score
would indicate, however, and the
fans seemed to feel that they had
received their moneys worth.
The first three or four innings
were close and both teams played
good ball. In fact Boomers led the
game for awhile, but the heavy
hitting Tigers finally forged ahead.
On two occasions Boomers had a
fighting chance to turn the tide In
its favor three men on bases and
two OUTPUT on each occasion the
batter up failed 10 connect with
Burleski's curves and the runners
were unable 10 ScOle.
Peterborough, Bonner 5 pitcher,
threw good ball about half the
game, but was hit rather frequent
lly and hard the latter half of the
contest. Catcher Veley played III

very good plays were made, The
work of the team was rather rag
ged. The locals played not nearly
so good ball as they did against thu

PRESIDENT WILSON'S ATTITUDE ~
j. TOWARD HIS CLUB MEMBERSHIPS
Chief Executive Not Cbman IN the Popular Acceptance Of tho
Word Yet He Finds Time for Enjoying Coils Member Of
Many Noted Organizations In and About the Ma
~'.r' TONS Capital

Washington-Addi once said
that all celebrated clubs were found
ed upon eating and drinking, points
upon which all men agree, and In
which the learned and the illiterate,
the dull and the airy, the philosopher
and the buffoon, can bear part. On
the other hand, Cicero considered the
pleasure afforded by excellent com
pany and sparkling conversation as
far exceeding the comfort derived
from the qualification Of his palate.
But Woodrow Wilson, president of
the United States, in his attitude to-
ward clubs and club life, leans neither
to the opinion Of Cicero nor to that
of Addison His ideas concerning
them do not even agree with the prev.
alent conception of clubs and their
meaning.
He seems to regard clubs as insti-
tutions OF mere convenience and as
such he uses the various organiza-
lions in different parts Of the coun-
try to which he belongs. in other
words, the president is not a clubman

the word.
He does not lounge-he hasn't time.
Not a moment in his life can be
wasted. 1t is true that he takes time
to play golf, but that is only his ex-
ercise. He also attends evening so
cial functions and the theater-those
are his diversions But never for
minute does he steal a few hours
away from hts work and devote them
to participation in the nocturnal rev.
elries at his clubs.
He is too busy at present to indulge
any such fancies. II he had them. For
that matter, he has been too busy all
his life. AS governor of New Jersey
and president of Princeton, weighty
diplomatic and national affairs did not
call for his immediate consideration,
but he spent his spare time writing
and studying. So he has never had
the leisure which men of less signif-
cant pursuits find upon their hands
