v|CE: CAST:
WITNESS
MISSING

SEATTLE, March 31.-Maxine
Evans, principal witness against
Felix Crane, the negro alleged
boss of the underworld, failed to
appear yesterday when his second
case came to trial, and the case
was put over.
Prosecutor Lundin said he had
not the slightest doubt but the
vice syndicate of the Northwest
had made off with her. This syn
dictate is suspected of having a
more or less firm organization In
Tacoma, Portland, Spokane and
Seattle, and probably connections
In other parts of the United
States.
It would have been easy for
Crane and his coterie to have
shipped Miss Evans to one of
these cities. His correspondents
in Tacoma is said to be a negress
well known to the police there.
Miss Evans was under a $1,000
bond.

Canada Taking
Halibut Crop

The halibut industry of Puget
Sound is being diverted to Cana
da. with loss of thousands Of
dollars to Sound fishermen, ac-
cording to fish dealers today.
This is caused partially by the
removal of the tariff of 1 cent a
pound on halibut, and the fact
that Prince Rupert is now a clos.
er port to handle eastern ship
ments, than Tacoma or Seattle. !
At the International Fisheries
Co, where thousands Of pounis
OF halibut are handled every
eek. 1t was declared that the
Tacoma fish industry would he
badly crippled in the near flu
ture, but that the effects OF the
removal of the tariff had not yet
been felt here. Fish caught In
Northern waters will hereafter be
shipped through Prince Rupert to
the east, and will not come to the
Sound, fishermen say.

The pages Of ancient history
tell of q certain Dutch city bonn
barded by the Spaniards. The
city was surrounded by great
wall which gave the Dutch inhabi-
tants q sense of security; and
against this wall the Spaniartls
hurled their battering rams In
persistent assault.
Finally, to the CONSERVATION of
the Dutch, the wall showed signs
Of breaking. The Dutch decided
to erect another wall inside of the
one which was weakening. They
laid the foundation deeper, built
1t wider than the outer wall and
Just as the last brick was laid
upon 1t the outer wall gave way.
Through breach in this outer
wall the swarthy Spaniards rush
ed, but they were stopped by the
inner wall; their battering rams
fell to no avail; the inner wall
was impregnable.
Now, It is the business of
Christianity to erect In the
inner life of the individual
wall which will render that
as individual safe from the as
1 assaults of the enemies of the
x, soul.
Ia We live our life In the enc
my's country--we are constantly
surrounded by enemies to our
we'll being.
- What Outer Walls Are.
Organized society has seen that
the individual is surrounded by
these enemies and has built
around the individual certain
outer walls to protect him from
them,
Some of these walls are:
/. Tho wall of legislation,
which has great protective power
and is one of the things which
distinguishes civilization from
savagery.
Q. Observation-Disclosures So
ciety has seen that ignorance is
soil In which seeds of badness
grow with alarming rapidity, so
1t has set about the erection of a
wall of education around the in
dividual.

All things being equal, the edu-
Gated man should be better able
to protect himself against the
enemies of the body, the mind
and the soul, and the Individual

3. The Home. Organized
society has seen that the in
fluence of wife and children
Is one of the most wholesome
influences Of life. The sta
bility of society, virtue of
womanh0od and honor of
manhood depends upon the
development of good home
life.
Now I feel like taking off my
hat to organized society for the
real service it has rendered the
cause Of religion by erecting
these outer walls of legislation,
education and home; but there is
no one who does not know that
there are exigencies in life when
no one nor all of the sea walls can
render the individual safe.
And i want now to pay
. tribute to that one inner
wall of genuine Christian
character which will stand
when all these outer walls
have crumbled into dust.
II every man in America was q
genuine Christian We could beat
our swords into pruning hooks,
our bayonets into ploughshares,
sink our battleships, spike our
guns and hang a "For Rent" sign
over every brewery, over every
saloon, and houses of shame
would become houses Of virtue.
Rock Of Ages.
No one of these walls, nor all,
without the inner wall Of Chris
tianity, can render the nation, or
the Individual, safe from the enc
mics which attack us on all sides,
but the inner wall of the religion
Of Jesus Christ can protect him
even though every other wall be
torn down.
On the Rock of Ages founded, I.
What can shake my sure re
pose?
BY Salvation's walls surrounded,
1 can laugh at all my foes!

Ancient Couriers.

1t was the custom of the couriers of
the middle ages to carry silver beads
In their mouths to lessen thirst. In
certain districts of India which are not
traversed by railways the ancient cou-
riers still survive and carry mails from
village to village. In the jungle dis
tricts they carry bells about their
necks to brighten away tigers. The
American Indians had their swift run
ners, who carried messages in times of
war between allied tribes or from the
warriors in hostile territory to their
native villages, and extraordinary tales
are told of their swiftness and endur-
ance. The running messenger In Eu-
rope was succeeded by the mounted
messenger, and as civilization pro-
crossed systems Of couriers were es-
tablished, which slowly evolved into
the modern system Of posts.

Arguing With an Exnart.

Never argue with an expert. 1t is
useless. There Is no way of making
Roadway against him. Though you
may know much more than he does,
you can't possibly get him to admit it.
His main defense lies in the possession
OF his own special vernacular. No ex-
pert Is complete without q vernacular.
Many experts have nothing more.
In arguing with an expert he always
begins by assuming, first, that you
don't know what you are talking about
and, second, that If you did know
what you were talking about you
couldn't talk about 1t intelligently, be-
cause you lacked the specific vocabu-
larry that the subject demands. AS the
argument proceeds he spends so much
time asking, Just what do you mean
when you use the word --f' and you
spend 80 much time explaining your
terms that you totally forget what you
are arguing about. Obviously when a
man forgets what he is trying to prove
he should Immediately quit trying to
prove it-Lfe.

Water Hemlock,

If you are fond of parsnips you
should before eating them make sure
that they are parsnips and not the poi
sonous roots of the water hemlock.
The water hemlock grows in marshy
places In various parts of the United
States. Its roots, which look almost
exactly like those of parsnips, are full
of a deadly poison known to science as
spasmotoxin.
Animals frequently die from eating
the hemlock and occasional cases of
serious illness and death among hui
man beings have resulted from eating
parsnips with which the poisonous
hemlock roots had been mixed by mis-
take. In India the water hemlock is q
favorite method of suicide.
Even a very small dose Of the poison
in this root is sufficient to cause death
from asphyxiation, paralysis and ex-
haustion and no antidote for 1t has yet
been discovered.-NewY York American.
