Phillips theory was that it was
better to be king of village than the
second ruler of New York. No less
an authority than Julius Caesar had
said that before him, in a slightly diff
ferent shape; but Caesar didn't have
TO- prove it, and Phillips did.
He spent his vacation in little viii
lage in the Catskills, where the girls
from the department stores went. 1t
was quiet sort of place, and the
quieter sort of girls went there. Phil
lips's vacation unfortunately lasted a
month.
With a succession of young wom-
en- coming and going, Phillips, being a
gentleman in appearance and having
plenty of money, was in his element.
He tlirted with all and each, indiscrim-
inately. Naturally, he created a good
deal of enmity at the little hotel. Any
one can do that, but Phillips thought
he was a lady-killer.
used to watch him from the porch
and | wished l were thirty years
younger. l should have enjoyed moth
ing better than to take the young
blackguard by the collar and trounce
him soundly. OF course people set out
to enjoy themselves, but Phillips had
planned it all out before. Besides, the
man was outrageous with his dude
clothes and his generally offensive air.
But it was none of my business, and
l watched the affairs with three or
four of the girls to whom Phillips
swore eternal devotion until it came
to Dorothy Raines. That set my back
up badly.
Dorothy was the niece of the hotel
keeper, and in the summer she helped
in the hotel. In the winter. / believe,

at the door of Andrew Carnegie's fine
mansion upon Fifth avenue a few
weeks ago. All well-to-do citizens are
being forced to employ bodyguards.
In the fine districts east of Fifth ave-
nue. the jewellers on block often club
together to hire an armed night pa
troll. This is protection against bur-
glars, but the growing danger of the
bomb crank has caused the guards to
increase in number.
Only an insignificant percentage of
bomb crimes result in arrests and
convictions of the perpetrators. Plant
ing bomb seems about the safest of
outrages. The bomb itself is almost
always so shattered that the fragments
are useless as clues.
Even where the bomb does not ex-
plode it is seldom useful as evidence.
On the morning of November IA, 1914,
the fuse of bomb suffering under
bench in the Tombs police court
caught the eye of Policeman George
l.. O'Connor. He started forward
and grabbed the bomb, which had
only three inches of fuse visible, and
started for the doorway. He tried to
rub the fuse out, and falling in that.
he jerked the insulated fuse from its
fastening in the heart of the explo-
sive. The bomb consisted of two
pounds of mixed black and smokeless
powder and about thirty loaded car.
tridges.
O'Connor's quickness and pluck
probably saved the lives of Magis-
trate John Campbell, his wife, and
many spectators in the courtroom.
The placer of the bomb was never de-
tected.
This bomb was connected in the
minds of the police with four others
of the same year. On February an
unexploded bomb had been found in
the church of St Mark s-in-the- Bouwe-

baum and his followers had spent the

the rectory of the Catholic church of
st. Alphonsus was damaged by bomb

preceding winter more than 100 of
Tannenbaum's followers had been ar
rested and later they were sentenced
to the workhouse in Magistrate Camp-

day, and l wondered when Ned would
bring off his coup. He chose the best

speak to Phillips. 1 don't know what
he said, but l heard Phillips snort

lips retorted.
Then I'm going to thrash you on
general principles" said Ned, and 1
could hardly keep from clapping my
hands and crying "bravo."
Miss Dorothy had hardly recovered
from her surprise when the two were
at it, hammer and tongs.
l had not expected Phillips to put
up much of fight, but it was a case
of Ned doing his best to stop Phil
lips rushes. After the first minute
Phillips knocked Ned down. and, when
he got up Phillips let him have it
again. Ned didn't get home more
in,
stretched out upon the ground, half
unconscious. 1t had been Phillips
from beginning to end, and he han
died his fists in very creditable way
l suppose it was fear of the public
ity, but all the while the girl stood
there like statue, and never moved
or spoke. Nobody saw me, and felt
pretty badly to see how my plot had
miscarried. Because my idea had
been to show the girl what a coward
Phillips was, and, instead, it was Ned
who got the thrashing.
Had enough?" sneered Phillips,
standing over Ned. Ned groaned; he
couldn't raise himself from the ground
IF this brute has had his lesson,
let us continue our walk. Miss
Raines," suggested Phillips.
And suddenly the girl turned on
him with flashing eyes.
You brute" she cried. How dare
you! How dare you fight man weak
er than yourself Go away at once!
Do you hear me?" She stamped her
foot like a fury.
The next moment she was kneeling
at Ned's side, calling him all the en-
dearing terms in her vocabulary. Her
arms were round him, and with her
skirt she began sponging away the
blood that covered his face. Forgive
me. Ned" she was sobbing

sort of upset my ideas-and at my
age one doesn't like that.
Phillips departed the next morning
Ey early train, and imagine he won't
show his face up this way in hurry
again. Dorothy and Ned are to be
married in October-and I've been
asked to stay on and be best man.
It's curious; should think Ned would

DRAINAGE MAPS NOW
READY
District Commissioners Making
ApportiOnment of Benefits
Sinking Test Holes

The map showing the boundaries of
the drainage district in the Bramwell,
Letha and Falk sections of the valley
have been completed by C. E. Horn,
district engineer. The map is very
complete and shows the lands which
will be benefited by the drainage
works and also the route of the main
canals, of which there will be two
one below the Enterprise ditch and
the other in the lower lands.
The commissioners, consisting of
Messrs. Pickett, Burt and Nusbaum,
will now proceed to sink test holes
in different portions of the district to
ascertain the heighth to which the wa
ter raises This will be done by driv-
ing down iron pipes, then setting off
charge of dynamite in the bottom
of the hole. The officials are being
assisted by W. G. Slonae, govern
ment expert, who was stationed at
Falk for two years in experimental
work and through whose efforts and
advice the district was organized.
The next step will be to apportion
the benefits. The apportionment and
the maps will be filed with the dis
trict court at the September term,
when those desiring to protest will
be given a hearing. That completed,
the district will be ready to award
the contract for construction and to
sell the bonds.
The cost will range from SO to so
cents per acre, according to benefits
received.

Celebrate Fathers Day

On Sunday the evening service
at the Methodist church was for
fathers and was in charge of the Big
Brothers Class. A pleasing feature
of the service was the presentation of
an arm chair to that grand old man,
Richard Barrett, who last week
reached his 81st birthday. The pre-
sentation was made by H. W. Hollar
in an eloquent speech, in which he
spoke feelingly of Mr.. Barrett's ac-
tive and useful life in the service of
the Master, his country and his fel-
low man. F. C. Berry spoke in SIM
liar vein, and Mr.. Barrett was deeply
touched. The congregation then by a
unanimous vote elected him pastor
emeritus. The chair, which was
draped with the stars and stripes,
will be used by him while at church.
The accompanying exercises were ap-
propriate to the day.

BREWERY WILL brew
SOFT DRINKS
Nampa Establishment Prepares
for PrOhibition-Will Make
Temperance Beverages

With the passing of the year 1915
will come the death of the saloon
and the manufacture of alcoholic
beverages. The statewide prohibition
law goes into effect January l, 1916.
Anticipating the time when Idaho
climbs onto the water wagon, the man
agement of the Crescent Brewing
company of Nampa is preparing to
convert its plant into factory for
soft drinks, cider and grape juice. A
part of the immense building will be
given over to cold storage purposes.
Machinery for use in the new enter
prise has been ordered and is now on
the way. Jacob Lockman, the present
owner, will continue as head of the
business and the employees now work
ing for the firm will be retained.
Pure apple cider is another product
which Mr.. Lockman plans to make
under the changed conditions. He will
install large apple grinding mill and
a press, hoping to fill from 5000 to
1000 barrels with juice this fall.
In order to accommodate ranchers
who wish to store apples and other
fruit, enough tanks have already been
removed from the cooling rooms to af-
ford storage facilities for $4,000 boxes
of apples. After the first of the year
additional space, sufficient for $4,000
boxes, will be provided. Not only fruit
but all kinds of produce requiring re-
frigeration will be accepted.
But what probably will be more
to Emmett orchardists and
may become of great Importance to
this section, is the announcement that
fer the manufacture of
grape juice will also be instulled, pro-
vided assurance is given that sut-
fcient grapes will be grown to supply
the plants need. Grapes are grown
successfully and prolifcly in the En-
NETT country, and if a profitable mar
ket can be assured, the hillsides sur
rounding this valley, which are
adapted to grape cul-
ture, will undoubtedly soon be trans
formed into vineyards.
