Gerry went back to his room. He
sat for long time looking out on the
starry river. Then unconsciously he
picked up the old tweed suit and hung
it carefully on chair. The rest Of

through his ablutions and toilet with
great care. His beard he had always
kept close clipped. Now he shaved it
off. The tan of his face looked like a
mask above the fresh white of his
newly shaved jowls and chin. He
picked out the best of his linen and

tweed suit. 1t fell naturally to the

The Hebrew word for the flower is
shushan. shoshan Or shoshannah, and
though there is little doubt the word
denotes some plant of the lily species,
it is by no means certain what class
it specially designates. In the Holy
Land there are lilies that hold the
purpling blue Of eastern skies; that
glow with the blood-red fire of the

pure white of spiritual appeal and the
grace in curve and line that touch
the senses like a, strain of exquisite
music.
AS we of the West know the lily,

ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
WITH 4 !. RAZOR
Former Resident of This City-Be.
lieved That He Will Recover
From Wound.

A telephone message was received
in this city Sunday night from the
authorities OF q small town about
forty-two miles west of Omaha,
Neb., stating that Jesse knight, a
former resident of this city, had
been in trouble of some sort and had
attempted suicide by cutting his
throat with a razor. The attempt
was unsuccessful and the young
man is now in a hospital of the
place, recovering from the effects of
his act. 2r
Mr. knight had been visiting in
this city about two weeks ago and
had gone to Nebraska, presumably to
take some kind Of a position. Few
details of the affair are known be-
yond the. fact that while seriously
injured, he is expected to recover.
Two members of the family left yes
terday for his bedside. The young
man is a son of Mrs. ]. E. Knight
who resides on south Superior street
and who during the past four years
has lost her husband, son and a
daughter. The sympathies of the
community are aroused for this
woman who, it seems, has had more
than her share of trouble.

THE BOY SCOUTS !. :.
DELIVER FLAGS
Nearly One Hundred and Thirty Ba-
bies Reported in This City
Under One Year. .--

The boy scouts Saturday delivered
flag parcels to the home of every
baby under one year of age whose
name had been reported to the COM
mittee in charge of which Mrs. H.
B. Mckee is chairman. The work
has been no small one, since so many
names were te1ephoned by neigh
bors, and street numbers had to be
looked up and verified. According
to the names reported, there are in
the neighborhood of one hundred
and thirty babies under this age
within the city limits.
The parcels delivered contained
one good sized silk flag, a small book
let for mothers, instructions and
helps on how to take care of the
baby and a picture poem. The par
eel was tied with ribbon, blue for
the boys and pink for the girls.

GAN SECURE BRYAN
FOR half. HOUR TALK
viii Cost Just 500 Committee to.
Make Decision This
Evening.

Rev. c.. H. Kamphoefner yester-
day received letter from the Bust
ness Mems Temperance Association
of iowa, offering w. ]. Bryan as a
temperance and suffrage speaker for
this city on May 10th. The silver
tongued orator would only be able
to give a half hours address here,
before leaving for Fort Dodge. For
this half hour, the Temperance AS
sociation asks 500, a price which is
considered stiff enough.
Bryan is donating five days of his
time for the cause of these two
movements in this state and gets
only his actual travelling expenses,
which, of course, include a special
car, etc. The money received for his
addresses goes to the temperance
movement in the state. h
A meeting will be held this
evening to decide the question for
this city, whether Or not it would
pay financially to have the Ex-secre-
larry of State here to speak for only
a half hour. The decision of the
committee, however, will be an
nounced as soon as made.

phase of community life and is wor-

ors. Not only will the immediate
city receive an inspiration but the
surrounding COUNTRY and smaller
towns in Hamilton and nearby coun-
ties are invited to look forward to
the meetings. All are invited to at
tend and lend their cooperation to
make the campaign great success.
The committee will have much
work to do. "A tabernacle of good
size and seating capacity will be
erected. No site has as yet been Sc

decided upon. From time to time
further announcement of plans will
be made.
