Confessions ofaWife

came across a copy of letter that
had written to my husband many
years before and straightway my
heart went sailing out on the sea
of memory with Love as the pilot.
Il sat down and wrote another
letter to my husband in which |
poured out all the loving thoughts
that had been in my somewhat
lonely heart for years. As
wrote l found I had much for
which to be thankful-the sor-
rows that had grieved me sore
seemed of little consequence when
l looked back on them.
II poured my whole heart out
into words and told him things
had never owned to myself.
And then I made a great mis-
take. Instead of mailing that let
ter I thought I would read II to
him. had a foolish notion that
] would like to see his eyes kindle,
to feel the clasp of his outstretch-
ed hands as read 1t; to know the
touch Of his lips at the end.

u. S. CLEARS
UP POINTS


WASHINGTON, d. c., April 26.
-Belligerents should presume
armed merchantmen are peaceful
unless conclusive evidence has
been received to the contrary,
the state department officially
declared today.
Merely because the enemy's
merchantmen are armed is not
sufficient reason for the belleg-
erents to declare it warship
and attack it regardless of the
rights of the persons aboard.
These points were announced
for the purpose of clearing the
American position on the armed
ship subject.

of Gig Harbor, who was recently
sentenced to serve 10 days in the
county jail for Delaying a fellow
farmer over the head with a pike

rest in solitude.
He thought at first he would
appeal to the superior court. For
this extra Inconvenience to the

BLUSHES AND EXCUSES

A correction we wish to make.
In the last Thursday items we
said that a son had arrived at
the home of Albert kellogg. Now,
as some trouble has been caused
by it, We want to explain and
correct anything that has caused
trouble, as we do not want the
blame. Neither do we want the
editor blamed. We were told by
parties who had received the in
formation from Mrs. Kellogg s
folks and so we wrote what we
thought was correct, but as there
is no limit to it, we wish to say
that we do not write anything to
hurt anyone's feelings or mean
any harm, but we certainly will
have to know that what is re-
ported to us will be the truth AS
we do not like to have our heads

A FURIOUS STORM /.
Christmas Period Brings One Of the
Worst Blizzards to This Sec-
tion in Years.

The first real touch of the old-time
blizzards was experienced locally, and
throughout the northwest for that
matter, in the storm which started
brewing on Christmas day and kept
increasing in intensity until nearly
Wednesday morning, when the wind
abated.
If Crissey, of the Saturday Evening
Post, had been fortunate enough to be
caught in these parts he could hnve
folded his arms and exclaimed, II told
you So" Fact is, train service is de-
moralized and the Storm King has
conquered all.
Tuesday the N. P. went to McKen-
zie on schedule, but failed to make
good on the return trip. Three
miles north of town the train stalled
in deep cut and there was nothing
left to be done but tie up for the night
in the snow-bank. Conductor Fergus
and Brakeman Schriner "hoofed it"
the three miles to Linton in the dark
and binding snow through snow
drifts generally three or four feet
deep, or more. They gathered togeth-
er force of workmen and returned
the next morning to try digging out
the train. The passengers were
forced to spend the night as best they
could
Wednesdays Milwaukee train from
the south was abandoned, and even the
500 Line, in northern Emmons, gave
up the ghost on Tuesday. Miss Daw-
son, of the Braddock News, was a
passenger on Tuesdays N. P. and had
to make the best of conditions at Mof-
fit where she was obliged to stay until
train service was resumed on the 500.
Tuesday forenoon the telephone Of
fee received call from the George
Brooks home, in the old town, that
they were marooned inside by snow
and that they were out of both fuel
and water. Assistance was secured
and the prisoners released.
The snow is piled even with the Win
dows of the buildings in many places
on Broadway. Tuesday night it was
almost dangerous to attempt to battle
the storm and drifts for even a dis
tance of two or three blocks.
Taken altogether, the blizzard Of
Christmas and the day after, 1916,
can be listed with some of the old
timers such as we have not exper-
