BEAUTIFUL HANDS. =
= \ + \ = \ = \ = y y \ = = 4
Beautiful hands, so soft and white!
BEAUTIFUL hands so fair!
Unstained, unsoiled by labors de-
mands; unmarried by toll pr
care.
Just a priceless gem of rare beauty
they bear then the world in rev.
erence stands
And humbly bows with uncovered
head and whispers, Beautiful
hands!"
Hard brown hands! Careworn hands!
Hands that are knotted with
toll!
Hands that clumsily, awkwardly speak
of the earth's turmoil.
Many have been the feveerd brows
those hands have gently pressed,
Many have been the childish forms
they lovingly have caressed,
Many have been the pillows they've
smoothed meath some restly
head
And on many weary bed of pain the
coverlet they have spread.
The moonlight shines on those lily
white hands through curtains Of
silken lace;
1t also shines on those toil-worn hands
and into their owners face,
And methinks as the angels look from
above on those hard brown
hands,
The softest sweet music falls from
their harps and reverently they
stand;
And methinks that l hear my Master
say: "Those are beautiful
hands"
oh, think not that the hard, rough
hands that through love have
burdens borne
SHALL be despised by the Lord of
Heaven because they are scar
red and worn,

For knowest thou that Our Father
deems less fair the hands of his
only Son
Because of the nail-prints that they
bear-that they've borne since
the victory He won?
Thinkest thou not that those nail
SCARED hands are heavens most
priceless store
And will those not in the realms OF
light ever those hands adore?
Then let us remember as we onward
tread-on to that unknown land
That the hands which bear life's bur
dens of love are the truly beau
tiful hands.

THOMSON FALLS. Mont, Nov,
29.-Sitting in court today Miss
Edith Colby, newspaper woman,
heard prosecution witnesses de-
scribe the bullet wounds which
caused the death of A. C. Thomas,
republican chairman of Sanders
county, whom she is accused OF
numbering.
Mrs. Jane F. Coolidge of Wor-
cester, Mass, mother of the girl
who is on trial, sat close beside
her.
AS surgeons told of the fatal
hurts and exhibited the ragged
bullets taken from Thomas corpse
Mrs. Coolidge often comforted her
daughter with whispered words
and sympathetic glances.
Charges Cold Blood.
In his opening statement to the
jury, U. s. District Attorney B. X.
Wheeler of Butte, who has been
retained to assist the county at
torney, declared he would prove
that Thomas was shot down in
cold blood in the street by Miss
Colby, as the result of a news
paper war.
He intimated that the death
penalty would be demanded.
Defense attorneys admitted
that the jurymen's opposition to
capital punishment would be a
strong feature of the fight for
Miss Colby's life.
The court room was crowded
today when the first witnesses
were called. Ten of the defend
ants friends from Spokane were
on hand to testify in her behalf.
Alienists on Hand.
They, and all other prospective
witnesses, were barred from the
room before proceedings started.
The defense has two alienists
ready to be called in support of
Miss Colby's temporary insanity
plea.
Postmaster William Moser
wildly described the fatal shoot
ing.
He declared the girl accosted
Thomas and demanded an apology
for an alleged insult of the pre-
vious day.
Thomas, said Moser, made no
reply, but continued walking
down the street. Miss Colby then
fired twice.

BUENOS AIRES, Nov. 20. -
Minister of Public Works Torello
Is considering acceptance of final
assistance from the United States
for resumption of important
public enterprises which the Eu-
ropean war has tied up during
many months.
The offer, 1t was understood
here today, was made through
DR.. Richard p. Strong, who was
introduced to Minister Torello by
the big Argentine banker, Carlos
A. Tornquist. as the representa-
tive of strong North American
interests" with money which they
are willing to invest in completion
Of such undertakings as the
Buenos Aires harbor works and
the Argentine state-owned rail-
roads.
The minister asked for a de-
tailed proposition which in local
financial circles, is deemed likely
to lead to entrance of North
American investors into the Ar
gentine on a large scale in the
near future.
1t was also reported here to-
day that North American money
is now enlisted in the department
of Argentine oil deposits.

QUESTION
IS ACUTE
Omitted Press Leased wire.)

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Nov. 30
Sinister indications of German
guilt in the Marina torpedoing
coupled with the apparently inno-
cent case of sinking of the Amer
lean steamer Chemung, served to-
day to accentuate official uneasi-
ness over German-American rela-
tions.
Germany was believed to be
paving the way to admit guilt in
the torpedoing of the steamer
Marina with loss of six American
lives.
Further, authorities claimed to
see a hint that she intends to do
as heretofore-seek settlement of
the case through confession, rep
aration and offer of indemnity.
But II the administration fol-
lows its words of the past week,
this will be insufficient.
Germany's reported willingness
ito accept consequences" puzzled
officials, though on the whole
they felt the Teutons expected the
case to be ended as others we're
satisfactorily, without a diploma
tic break.

LONDON, Nov. 29.-Progress
of Field Marshal Won Mackensen' s
forces from the newly captured
town of Guirgiu, on the Danube,
was the crux of the Rumanian
situation today.
IL the Teuton wedge of entry
can be blunted and its power
stopped until the Rumanian army
has fallen back to it's latest line
of defenses-presumably along
the Argesiu river-the Ruma-
mans, reinforced by the Russians,
may yet turn their retirement into
q victory.
1t was pointed out here as a
continued augury Of hope in the
Rumanian situation that the Ber-
lin official statements are still
Significantly silent as to captures
of large bodies of troops or of
transport supplies - indicating
that the Rumanian retreat has
been orderly.
Paris reports that the capital
of Rumania has temporarily been
established at Jassy, 200 miles
northeast of Bucharest, close on
the Russian line, were uncon-
firmed.
