THEEvEN|NG STORY
MISS SHADER'S KATE.
DOWNRIGHT. 1916. by W. werner)

A woman stood at the head of the
steps and waited as the postman swung
up the long stretch of walk from the
gate. He smiled, for he was young and
had known her a long time, ana eA-
n,ected her to smile back. But her
,,ain kind. strong face continued to be
grave.
ANYTHING wrong herewith Miss
Shader?" he asked.
Kate shook her head. "Oh. she's well
enough. Only anxious around mail
time. Any letters. Tommy
He handed her one, long and busl-
nesslike in appearance. Without Elanc-
ing at it Kate carried it indoors
The interior of the old Shader house
was dark. reposeful and elegant. Kate
went down the hall to door behind
the staircase. The room she entered
was bright with the morning sun and
a great haring armful of freshly gath
cred white peonies in a emma jar.
Within the room sat an elderly woman,
knitting. The needles stopped and she
glanced up with little start. "A let
ter, Kate? Lay it there
Kate laid the letter beside the Jar
of peonies and withdrew.
Miss Shader waited moment AFTER
the door had closed. Then with a
trembling hand she took up the letter.
She had difficulty in opening it, for her
hands trembled more and more. At last
she unfolded the single typewriter
sheet it contained and began to read
Again and again she went over each
word and line as though chasing hope
that eIuded her. At last, with sigh,
she put the letter back into the en-
velope and tucked it out of sight under
the cover of the table. For more than
an hour after she sat almost motion
less, with her head on the back OF the
chair. staring at nothing.
, The door opened again softly and
Kate looked in. Il thought maybe you
wanted something" see said.
No" Miss Shader replied. sharply.
She picked up her knitting resolutely.
But as the door was closing she called:
Kate"
Kate returned instantly. Come
here" said Miss Shader. "Sit down If
you want to-
I'D just as lief stand"

voice as well as her prominently veined
hands shook. Kate. how long have
you been with me?"
$50 L thought" Miss Shader was
making wretched work of her knit
ting. but her pride kept her at it.
Ten years" She tried to sttfe
sigh. You have pleased me very well.
I hope. Kate. that you have had the
sense to lay something by?"
Kate began to fuss with the peonies.
We'll, not as much as ] should" she
said; You , see. at first there were
everything. But since she died I've
saved something-I think. with my in
terest. about $500"
That wouldn't last long II you were
sick or out of employment"
No" Kate said. A shade of trouble
crossed her face. Five hundred dollars
seemed good deal to her. But, of
course, to Mrs. Shader it must seem
! very little.
You have been very dutiful," Miss
Shader said. I've found great COM
fort in you. Kate. You have been
more than servant; you have been
an flushed with pleasure. ut has al
ways been my intention to do some
thing for you. Kate" Miss Shader went
on. I've left you something in my
will. But you know"-she bent over
her knitting-fortunes vary. There
may be nothing left with which to
honor my requests. !. may die poor"
She looked up into the quiet face above
| her And so. while I am alive, I am
going to make sure that you shall be

all you Will ever get. I'm afraid
Kate" smile quivered over her lips.
I'm a very poor manager"
So the bargain was made. Each month
Miss Shader gave Kate $50. She never
| asked what Kate did with 1t. although
as time passed the giving involved more
| and more sacrifice on her part. The es-
| tate was going to pieces in her hands.
Values varied with the times She was
clinging to a wreck. and she knew it.
But that $50 month must be got

Show Great Talent
for Practical Politics

lneN are one
and all politicians. and they have very
considerable talent. as Il race. both for
o:atory and for practical politics. Before
the. last election. for example, in Taos
county. New Mexico. a republican con-
vention was held in which all of the bust
ness was transacted in Spanish. An en-
thusiastic political campaign in the United
States carried on in a foreign language
would he an anomaly in any other state
in the Union, but in New Mexico 1t is
usual Political speakers in that state
generally use either an Interpreter or
speak first in English and then in Span
ISL. Signs on stores are often in both
languages
There are no people in the United
States who have a better claim TO the
title of American citizens than these
Spanish folks of the southwest. When
Kentucky was a frontier and Illinois
was a bowling wilderness New Mexico
was on old country with a civilization
and an easy, pleasant life all it's own.
When Chicago was log fort and be-
fore San Francisco was thought of
Santa Fe was an old city. Throughout
its early history New Mexico was a
sort of outlying territory living it's own
life, regardless of whether Spain or
Mexico held dominion over it. Each
possessed it for time, and sent it
some good governors and some bad
ones. Then it became a part of the
United States, and had a much better
government than ever before. The
Apaches we're driven out, ard the rail-
roads came, and with them much
'dinero" from the PARKWAY east. These
things. the Mexican people know. were
done for them by Ito Samuel: they
know that if they belonged to Old
Mexico now there would be sad times.
Wherefore, they are a very loyal part
of the citizenry of the United States.

RICHLAND FAIR
Is POSTPONED
New Dates are Two Weeks Later
Because of Late Ripening of
Fruits and Vegetables

The committee in charge of the
Richland carnival held a meeting on
Tuesday evening, at which time it was
unanimously decided to change the
date of the coming fair to September
10Th and 10th, instead of holding it on
September LIST and End as had been
planned. This change was made
necessary by the fact that the pres
emit season is unusually backward and
where in previous years all varieties
OF grapes, apples and other products
for which this district is justly famous
were ready for market and display be-
fore the first of September, this year
it will be at least two weeks later be-
fore the apples are fully colored and
the different varieties of grapes ready
for market. Should the fair be held
at the dates first mentioned, the ex-
hibits would of necessity be very much
inferior both in quality and quantity
to those shown in the past two years
and it would be shame to take a
chance of running the unchallenged re-
putation of the Richland district as be-
ing the earliest in the Northwest. The
committee wishes to call particular at
tention to the new dates-September
18th and 18th, so that all those who
have been planning to attend will be
able to make their arrangements for
visit to Richland at that time.
