| I desire to express my apprecia'
ton to my many friends who SC
kindly rendered their assistance to
me and to my aged mother during
the last sickness of my boy Harry.
Because of necessity | was away
wording in the harvest fields and
word of his death did not reach me
by telegraph until nearly thirty-s six
hours after he had passed away. No
one can know how / felt upon re-
ceiving word unless he has been
placed under like circumstances. At
the time of receiving word l was
over eleven hundred miles away. To
learn upon my return of the many
kindnesses performed by my friends
certainly makes me most grateful.
Under date of October ~, 1916,
the Payette Independent published an
article regarding the accident which
resulted in the death OF my son
Harry, which in part reads as fol
lows, to-wit: st seems that Harry
was unfortunately left to shift for
himself" This was not true state
ment of the facts. Because of nay
financial circumstances 1t was nee
essary for me to secure work and
went to the harvest fields because
of the good wages paid. Before leav-
ing | made arrangements for my
son to live with Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas who reside on the Oregon
side, and attend school during this
present school year l made all nee
essary arrangements for his hous-
ing, clothing, boarding and books
for the school year. These facts
can clearly establish. Upon my re-
turn to Payette few days ago Il
found that he still had money on
deposit in the bank and / can as
sure all my friends that the sta
ment in the Payette Independent
was to say the least very misleading
end | believe was made with inten-
ton to do me a great injustice. After
returning to Payette, called upon
Mr. Keller, the editor of the Pay
cite Independent, who by the way
Is an attorney-at-law, and asked him
in regard to the statement He told
me that the facts had been given
him by good substantial party
and person who was friend of
mine but he refused to give me the
name of the party. Mr.. Keller at
that time also told me that he used
the word seems" in the statement
for the specific purpose of protect
ing himself and his paper from dam
ages.
l wish to state further that it is
my opinion that the statement was
very unjust to Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas,
the people with whom l left my boy
and in all fairness and justice to-
them l. wish to state that it is my
opinion that Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
are good, respectable christian peo-
pie, that they stand well in the
community in which they reside; !
that their reputation is above re-
preach; that they belong to one
of the leading churches in the coun-
try. Under the circumstances 1 state
again that l feel that Mr.. Keller |
and the Payette Independent have
not only done myself, but also the
Thomas family great injustice.

EXCEEDED ALL EXPECTATIONS.

/ The Cord Rummel Co., of the Ly'
ceum Course, opened the Lyceum
season at Payette this year, Friday
evening. Oct. 9th, at the Christian
Church. An attraction OF greater
merit could not have been selected
by the management to open the
course. Judged by the most appre-
ciative audience assembled more than
a signal triumph among Lyceum art
lists having entertained here for
some years, was scored by this COM
pany of great artists.
The program promised much but
the artists throughout exceeded all
expectations, for the entire program
was rendered with finish and real
artistic execution, such rs made the
opinion among our rather critical au-
dience unanimous, that the Cord
Rummel Co., was the best Lyceum
attraction, heard in Payette for
a decade.
The artists won not only the dis
tinction of the highest excellence
but the hearts of the audience as
we'll, through the splendid feast of
music and song.
Mr.. Rummel Is one of the most
finished violinists OF our time with
out any doubt. He made his instru-
ment talk" in strains and airs,
as masterfully, as sweetly, melodi-
ously and beautifully, as if divinity
itself had laid her hand upon this
great artist and had given him the
power to convey the magnificence of
a spiritualized, living, UNDERSTANDABLE,
soulful message through the violin
to the hearts and mind of the audi
ence.
Mrs. Rummel's splendidly co-ordi-
mated accompaniment, did not only
but entities her to a considerable
share of Mr.. Rummel's successful
rendering of those numbers which
were accompanied by her. Mrs. Rum
mel demonstrated the true function
of the accompanist, which is arts
tic experimentation.
Miss Fay had been fortunate in,
her selections as they were both
demonstrative of her great talent
and permitted to show the power
and the beauty of a we'll trained
vocal artist enriched with the soul
put into her art. Her duet work was
equally beautiful compared with solo
numbers.
Last but not least, Mr.. Kelly, an
artist of rare accomplishment, with
a voice rich, full, melodious, might
be mentioned in the class of Cam
panari, for he has the dramatic high
ly developed. He exoelled in 1.-THE
Barber of Seville" and in every num-
Der he rendered in manner which
entities him to position among the
great baritones of America. He Isl
a young man and has great future
before him.
The personality of this clover
leaf of real artists added to the
enjoyment and the tone of this
great musical treat, and we hope to
see and hear the Cord-Rummel Co.,
again.

FOOTBALL, PAYETTE VS. VALE

The game started with Payette
kicking off to Vale. Vale secured the
ball on the forty yard line, but soon
lost it. Then Payette went rapidly
down the field for a touchdown. With
tliis beginning, at the end of the
first half, Payette had Is to Vale 0.
In the second half, both teams
went into play with more vim. Pay
cite was most successful with her
end runs; and Goodwin made large
gains through a broken field, twice
running seventy-five yards for a
touchdown. The game ended with
a score of 40 in Payette's favor.

Monkey Ruled Steamboat.

This is the story of a monkey Ger
copithecidae, habitat Albany, N. "
that wanted to captain a ship--and
did, for a little while, the New York
World states.
When the good ship Berkshire of the
Hudson river night line, left Albany
recently this particular anthropodean
quadrumanous mammal passengers
called him worse names than that-got
loose from his keeper and started the
merriest little party the Berkshire has
seen in all her vOyaging days.
The first thing he did was to seize
four umbrellas from passengers and
do wild dance on the deck. Then he
Or she, as the case may be-went
down to the engine room and threw
coal at the engineer and firemen, who
retreated. He was chased to the top
deck, whence he jumped into the river
A disciple of Professor Garner might
have translated the monkeys last cry
as death before surrender"
Passengers on the Berkshire told the
story. II. f. Moss, general traffic man
ager of the line, said an animal dealer
was bringing three or four monkeys to
this city and one of them escaped

MAKES STUDY OF WORKERS
This Employer, as the Story States,
Does Not Decide From
Single Interview.

Tt is my observation that while an
applicant for a position is frequently
Ill at ease, he is nevertheless usually
able, during his first interview, to Gre
ate the best impression of which he is
at any time capable, provided you
make due allowance for the embar
rassment which a reasonably modest
man must necessarily feel in talking
about himself.
On the occasion of his first interview
the applicant is on mental dress pa
rade. He has rehearsed the scene and
while he may forget some of his lines,
nevertheless there is unity of thought
in his remarks which is easily capable
of misleading you as to his mental
caliber.
Thus it is that we like to meet
man several times before we hire him.
We want to talk to him when he is
not on dress parade. If he has de-
cided that he is practically sure of
position with US, so much the better.
In fact, that is the best test of all.
Thinking he has caught his car, will
he sink comfortably into his seat or
will he remain tense and alert?
A year or so ago | received from
young man the most favorable impress
sion that I had ever gained of any
prospective employee on first sight. /
saw in him visions of man who might
some day sit at my own desk.
Yet q week later he proved at
luncheon interview to be merely
lump of human clay. He had the
brain, but he was mentally lazy. He
made his supreme effort at our first in
terview and, satisfied that he had at
tanned his object, subsidized into his
customary torpid mental state. He
had read and studied but with ne def
mite purpose nor with any adequate
comprehensiOn.-Wil Maxwell, in
Golfers Weekly.

WHEN SUIS WAS WORSHIPED
BaaIbec, Now in Ruins, Was the Cea-
ter Of Religion That Once Had
Many Adherents.

Baalbec is the city of the sun. Here
the sun god was worshiped thousands
of years ago, here the ruins of his
great temple still stand, monstrous
and ma estic wonder and a mystery
to another age and another race. Here,
too. the sun today still seems to smile
with particular warmth and fervor, as
though regarding his faithful capital
now that his place in the hierarchy of
deitieS is gone.
In the ruins Of Baalbec you can
trace the rise and fall of almost every
creed that the near East, rich in
creeds, has known. The very stones
still lie about that We're raised by the
worshipers of Baal, whom the Israel
ties overthrow. Then came the Greeks
and the Romans, with temples to Apol-
10 and Jupiter, Bacchus and Venus.
The warlike Arabs left their mark in
a circle of Notifications, temples to a
religion of the sword. Today the Turk
holds dominion, and his modern mos
ques raise their frail domed heads,
likes-the transient structures of chill
dren, beside the mighty monuments Of
the past.
In plain terms Of the guideboOks,
Baalbec is little Turkish village of
5000 people situated near some of the
most remarkable ruins on earth. So
there are two Baalbecs-the city of
yesterday and the city of today. Mod
ern Baalbec has its mosques and it's
churches and it's schools, sends it's re-
cruits to the sultan's armies. and
makes picnics to the temple of Bac-
chus, where its young men and madens
hold hands in the twilight Ancient
Baalbec is a confused colossus, heap
of mighty blocks of cunningly carved
stone, earthquake tossed and time eat
en-, piled haphazard and buried in
sand, with here and there some frieZe,
some wall some shrine or altar still
raising its head through the tide of
destruction to hold aloft the symbol Of
the sun or the Roman eagle.
The old stones have taken on a pc
culiarly rich and golden color with the
years Fragments that psychologists
uueaIIh lFOHl Underground are pale
and colorless, but the sunlight of cen
turtles has touched what it could reach
with its own sunset hues. Few sights
are so beautiful as Baalbec on a clear
spring evening. The five great col
umns of the sun rear their slender
height heavenward like the trunks of
giant palms. The tumbled temple
stones glow golden in the level rays,
While below stretches the tender green
OF young grain, the delicate bloom of
wide orchards. The rock of the col
umns crumbles with the passing of
ages, but the bloom of growing life
that bHghts at frosty breath returns
ever fresh and new, spring after
spring, eternally.

Locked-Up Potash.

About two miles northeast of Su-
perior, Wyoming, are the Leucite hills,
which are made up largely of igneous
rocks in the form of volcanic necks,
sheets intruded into the stratified
rocks, and bikes cutting across the
sedimentary strata. Associated with
these intrusive rocks are volcanic cones
and lava flows. These rocks have long
been objects of scientific interest be-
cause of their unusual character. Late
ly they have attracted additional inter-
est by reason of the potash-rich min
eral, leucite, they contain, which may
some day be utilized if a process can
be found for extracting the potash
cheaply. 1t has been estimated that
the igneous rock of the Leucite hills
contains more than 100000 tons of
potash.-Bulletin 612, q. S. Geological
Survey.

Sculptor,S Pronhecx

Suddenly, in the midst of his work
Arnold Ronnebeck, who was designing
the decorations for municipal bridges
IN Berlin, was overwhelmed by q
strange and unaccountable feeling of
sadness. 1t was not like q mood, but
rather like a deep shadow cast over
him and his work. He was under con-
tract to do the work, but he could not
keep at it. Finally he yielded to what
was for him a mysterious impulse, and
let his feelings have their way with
him. No one was more aStOniShed
than he when he had finished, roughly
but with simple power, figure of the
crucified Christ and the mourning
women.
He could not explain it. He wrote
to friend: II felt I had to do it. I
could find no other symbol to express
my sense of tragedy But as soon as
it was done [ felt relief, and I am
working again."
Did the war fling the shadow of the
cross over the sensitive soul Of the
artist and was his mood born of the
inner knowledge that there was to be
another crucitiXion, and that again
throughout the world there would be
women mourning at the foot of the
cross upon which humanity was bleed
ing?-Christian Herald.

Great Names Die Out.

1t is curious how rarely our military
and naval supermen leave direct pos
terity in the male line. In the three
cases of Lord Roberts, Lord Wolseley
and Lord Kitchener the succession has
passed out of the usual direct male
line. Lord Nelson was succeeded by
his brother, for whom in fact the earl
dom was created in recognition of the
hero's last and greatest exploit. Lord
Howe, victor of the GLORIOUS First of
June" left no son, and the barony
of Howe descended to his daughter.
The title conferred on Lord Strath-
nairn is extinct, and there is no long
er a Lord Clyde. Lord Arson, the
great sailor who girdled the world, left
no children. and the title was recre-
ated for his great-nephew-Lon
Chronicle.

Photography in Air Raids.

Photography, of course, is playing
an ever-increasing part in the aerial
reconnaissance. 1t is now one Of the
prime means of ascertaining the accu-
racy with which bomb dropping is at
tended. Contrary to the general idea,
when q place is to be bombarded the
process does not consist merely Of a
few plucky airmen plotting their ma
chimes to the neighborhOOd and TAX
ing big risks to try to get in a lucky
shot before returning. The fire that
follows the dropping of each bomb is
photographed by aircraft from above,
so that a permanent record is made
concerning the places actually dam
aged. Nothing is left to guesswork.-

the loving smile on Molly's face And
while Jim Davis looked at them in
CONSERVATION everything faded, and
he became aware of an intense and I'M
endurable pain that gripped his body
and wrung it as if in a wise.
He opened his eyes and the light of
day almost blinded him. He was ly-
ing under the weckage. 1t had all
been a dream. Near him was the girl
whom he had seen, pinned under the
beam, but not severely hurt. She was
free above the knee and it rested
lightly upon her leg, without pressing
there. Still, to escape was impossi-
bic.
Jim Davis rolled toward her, and
every motion was like the plunging of
knives into his body.
He tried to lift the beam, but of
course, could not. And suddenly a
fresh outcry from near by, and a
The wreckage was atire from the en-
CINE. The flames were creeping near
er. Men were working frantically to
remove the injured, but there was
hardly time.
A burning cinder lit on the girls
dress. Jim Davis picked it up with his
free hand and pushed it away. He
knew now that he was paralyzed from
the waist downward.
Help mel" pleaded the girl again,
in terror.
The flames were circling about them
A trick of the wind had sent a shower
of sparks across the spot where they
lay, and the wrecked cars on the other
side of them were blazing. And then
two men rushed through the smoke
and grasped him.
''Not mel" said Davis. There's a
girl Hereunder the smoke. Get the
beam off her leg"
AS the girls choking cry came to
their ears they released the gambler
and plunged into the smoke. Davis
watched them anxiously. Would they
succeed? They strained with all their
might at the fallen beam, while the red
sparks whirled about them, and the
smoke covered them. And Davis
watched more eagerly than he had
ever watched anything in his life.
Suddenly, with mighty heave, the
men got the beam away, Davis saw
them grasp the girl and carry her to
safety. And then with a roar the
flames swept over him.
parba0S with that act of abnppat iOn
the gambler made atonement for his
misspent life. In that last moment he
understood that it had been granted
him to visit his wife in the spirit, to
learn and understand. But instead of
bitterness there was only joy in his
heart that Molly was to be free.
SO, smiling at the last throw of fate,
Jim Davis yielded up his body to the
flames.
