FATHER GIVES DETAILS OF
 MURDER OF SON
Forced to March Naked and Afoot
 Miles Across Desert


 How J. W. Tays came to his death at the hands of Villas murderous Indians, was told in a letter receiv- ed by his uncle, brother of the father of the murdered man.
 According to the letter, Tays set out for Los Mochis, 25 miles away, on Sept. 5 in company with four companions and three Indian team sters. They were met by 800 Indians of the Villa faction and made prisoners.
 Despite his protest of American citizenship they were forced to march naked and afoot, five miles across the desert for the camp of Bachomo, Indian bandit and chief,
 Tays and his companions begged for water and their entreaties only brought forth thrusts of cooked re- volvers in their sides. All the while the Indians dangled full canteens before their famished captives.
 On arriving at the camp of the Indian leader, the American and his companions were robbed of 5000. Then they were lined up and shot.
 The Indian teamsters fled, but one was killed in trying to make his escape.
 The father, accompanied by seven armed Americans, visited the scene
 
 of the tragedy next day, but was un- able to recover the body of his son.
 Two days later Bachomo sent word to MT. Tays that he would kill him, too, if he persisted in searching for his sons body.
 MT. Tays wrote his brother that he had notified Carranza authoities, through thes American counsul at Mazatlan, but so far the bandits had escaped punishment, he said.

HUNTING SEALS WITH
 AEROPLANES

The last sealing season in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, which closed May 1, was a failure owing to the difficulty of finding and reaching the herds in the unusually heavy ice, and entailed a loss of about S250,00 upon the owners of vessels,
 Next year it is proposed to on gage two aviators to visit the east coast and the gulf of St. Lawrence respectively, just before the open ing of the season and locate the herds.
 If successful, this plan will save the large amount of time now lost by seaIers in searching for their prey, and should add corresponding- ly to the profits.

THE WHITE HOUSE.

The White House at Washington was first occupied by President John Adams in 1900, eight years having been spent in the construction of the edifice, for which the cornerstone was laid 123 years ago today, October 13, 1792, in the presence of George Wash tngton. The choice of the thirteenth of the month for the ceremony indi- cates that the first President had no regard for the ancient thirteen su- perstition. The first official function held in the White House was the New Years reception given by Presf- dent Adams on Jan. l.. 1901. When Washington was captured by the British in 1914, the White House, as well as the unfinished structure of the Capitol, and other government Buildings were burned. The White House was restored in 1918. The White House architect was an Irish man, James Hoban

CHURCH SOCIAL LIFE.

As the autumn season comes on, the churches are formulating plans for social life. The machinery for this becomes more elaborate each year. There are Boy Scouts; Girls Clubs young peoples nights, and general socials- and suppers for all ages. The people who canvass for food, set tables and wash dishes, are honored for. their unse1fsh devotion. They do hard work. But probably if all this life was to stop they would find it very tedious hanging around home.
 This social life at the churches brings together a lot of people who otherwise would be very lonely. In most towns today population shifts rapidly. People do not live and die in their tracks they used to. A large share of them are always strangers in some new community They long for compantonship.
 The old time church social was not very attractive to these lonesome folks. People sat around in rows and tried to smile. Awkward1y and laborfng under an overpowering sense of duty, they went over to new people and talked about the weath- CT.
 Strangers in new place make real friends, only by entering together in to some form of work or diversion. One would get better acquainted in half dozen rehearsa1s of an anna teur play than by attending sit- around socials five years. Games are equally effective. The deacons and the ministers are becoming convinced that you can't attract people merely by offering jackstraws, tfdd1e-de- winks, and authors. Some churches go farther than others. But as a seneral thing, any game that is legi- IL: home Is legitimate for the church parlor.
 When strangers come to new place, they must expect to go a little more than half way. Some of them will attend. church two or three times and then quit because no one called on them or scarcely any one spoke to them. If they will signify their desire to perform some service, instead of seeking merely to receive they will make friends fast enough.

Parents liked him till began to care for hAn. They ob- ject to his coming to the house. Ought to let him come or should we meet at neighbours house? He insists I kiss him goodbye as we part. Should girl kiss boy? None love as well as do him. Parents will send nie away before we will marry. No req son why not wanting him as son-in- law. If we have to part, we will be heartbroken. am wanted to be a school teacher but wish to. be his wife. One thing we cannot agree on; he wants to go with another girl if I am not along. Is this right, please?
