~ able candles glimmered out
into the night, and soft
voices and light-hearted laughter min
gled with the vibrant notes of violin
as it scared above the deeper tones
of the piano.
In my secluded room the music
reached me as turned the leaves of
a yellow, time-stained book. My own
name was written in furnished letters
upon the cover. The date was 1865.
One hundred years before a girlish
hand ha0 traced the faded words,
and ], the eat-great-grandniece and

of capital letters made it difficult to

the writing and my interest grew with
every word.
ut is white Christmas, the first
have ever known, and / have slipped
away to look once more upon the Won
derful outside world. For hours the
snow has been coming down in great
flakes, covering the pansies, the crocus
and the hyacinths blooming in the shell
ter of the box hedge. l am wearing
a cluster of heartsease, picked by-no
matter whom. Not even to you, my
diary, who knows my dearest thoughts,
can whisper the happiness that is in
my heart. But we picked them to-
gether under the hedge, as the snow
was hiding them from sight, and
Charles-dear me! I could not help it.
He SO fills my thoughts that have
thought for little else, and before me
is his beautiful miniature, his first gift.
"'Tis a pretty fancy-gift giving and
how proud l will be to wear his be-
fore our world. Yet it's a strange
custom, that all young maids must
wear the miniature of their betrothed
when they appear in public. do not
think maids more tickle than those
charming gentlemen who swear eter-
nal devotion upon their knees, but It's
disgraeeful to be not wed before eight
cen, and when love comes all the world
must know. IT'S full young to be a
wife, but Charles begs for an early

ened us at dayhreak, their soft voices
ringing clear in the old songs so dear
to them, and, shivering, crept from
my warm bed into the clothes Nanny
had ready for me. There was a roar
ing fire in the dining room, and out
side our people waited for papa and
for me. It is good to be loved as they
love us, and twas a pleasure to see
their black faces as my hand went into

as old Uncle Phil when he opened the

play on the long-necked gourd with
horsehair strings that he had made.
In very joy the old man danced a hoe
down, with the tears streaming down
his wrinkled face. thought once he
would hug papa, but instead he caught
his hand and thanked him over and
over again. He will play for us to
dance tonight.

c, NEWMAN PLACED
ON TRIAL today
YOUNG MAN CHARGED WITH
BRUTAL CRIME AGAINST
GIRL OF TENDER YEARS

The case of the state of Idaho
against Carl Newman, of Troy,
charged with criminal assault on
Ruby Triplett, Of Lewiston, girl
said to be Is years old but appearing
much younger, began in the district
court today with Judge Edgar c..
Steele presiding and efforts being
made to secure jury. At o'clock
a jury had not been secured and an
open venire was issued for 10 more.
It is thought the jury will not be
secured before adjournment tonight
and that it will probably take three
days to try the case, which will be
hard fought from both sides.
The story of the alleged crime was
published at the time it is alleged to
have occurred. Newman with several
others were said to be riding in an
automobile when they overlook the
girl with a companion older than she
and the two girls were induced to get
into the car. It is alleged they were
taken to Joel where the others got
out of the car and went to ware
house, leaving Newman and the child
alone, The child's screams aroused
the neighbors and man, his son and
his hired man came running to the
scene The three persons who had
gone to the warehouse are allegde
to have run to the car and leaped in
and the car was started and made q
'get away" but not ntil one Of the
men who came in response to the
girls screams had thrown a rock
through the windshield Another of
the would-be rescuers fired several
shots at the tires, in an effort to stop
the car
Newman is being defended by A.
H. Oversmith and G. w. Suppiger.
Judge J. H. Forney is assisting Pros
ecuting Attorney John Nisbet in pre-
senting the states case. A number of
witnesses are here from Troy, Deary
and other points. There is a large
crowd of spectators hoping to hear the
shocking details of the alleged crime.
F. M. Froman, arrested at Bovill by
Deputy Sheriff Pat Malone, was today
released upon telegraphic instructions
from Blackfoot. Froman had been
arrested on telegraphic warrant
charging forgery. He settled the
case by the payment Of $35, the
amount claimed to have been fraud
ulently obtained, and the costs. Fro
man claims that mistake had been
made and that he had committed no
criminal act The fact that he was
permitted to go without prosecution
after being arrested would tend to.
bear out his statement.

DEMPSEY SIGNS TO
FIGHT CARPENTER
AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN
CHAMPIONS TO FIGHT FOR
WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

LOS ANGELES Jack Kearns,
manager of Jack Dempsey, heavy
weight champion, announced tonight
he had accepted an offer of a $780,
900 purse from James w. Coffroth
for a 45-round fight between Demp-
sey and George Carpenter at Tijuana,
lower California.
"It's up to Coffroth now to sign up
Carpenter" said Kearnes, "and / un-
derstand he has a representative
Charles Harvey, in Europe now, try
ing to do just that.
"This is the most satisfactory offer
we have had. We are willing to ac-
cept it on a winner-or-loser basis,
perhaps 100000 to go to the win
ner and 100000 for the loser. These
details will be worked out later.
"The fight may draw as much as
$750,00O, since it will be the first in
ternational world championship bat
tie since Charlie Mitchell met James
J. Corbett at Jacksonville, Fla, jan
uary rs, 1894.
"Coffroth may not want the motion
not, we will want percentage of
LDoIu dIlu dll OIIlCI pIlfu6R6S.
Kearnes said Coffroth had been in
Los Angeles for several days talking
the proposition over with him.
KearneS' announcement was made
after he had been asked if he had ac-
cepted or would accept an offer to
Dempsey of 100000 and ten weeks
theatrical engagement in Europe at
$4,000 week, announced in Chicago
by Charles Cochran, an English the
atrical magnate
81 will not consider anything less
than $250,000," said Kearns at first,
"and his offer of $4,000 a week does
not interest me. Why, Dempsey got
$4,000 a week in his theatrical en-
gagement right here in America. If
these European promoters want to
get Dempsey for anything they'll
have to pay double"
Then he made the announcement
the acceptance of Cof-
froth's offer.
''It's the best made to s." he said
"Well be practically right here at
home, instead of having to go to Eu-
rope for the fight"
Commenting on the possibility of
$750,000 gate receipts Kearns called
attention to the fact that the Demp-
sey- Willard fight at Toledo, Ohio,
drew $450,000.
The date of the match, he said, de-
pended of course upon whether Car
pentier would sign contract for a
bout as proposed by Coffroth.
Coffroth, who is president of a rae
ing association at Tijuana, Lower
California, and well-known sporting
man, could not be located here imme-
diately after Kearns' announcement.

Moscow Streets Are Bad.

Moscow's streets have seldom been
"slicker" than they are today, with
a light covering of snow on the icy
pavement. Near accidents have oc-
Cured with alarming frequency but
nothing serious has happened SO far
as reported today. A big team work
ed for half an hour to pull big load
of coal two blocks up Third street and
finally had to give it up. The coal
was on wagon and the horses were
smooth shod and team and wagon were
all over the street, sliding from one
side to another. Finally the driver un-
hitched and took the team to black
smith shop to have them sharp shod.
An empty truck going south on Main
street turned completely around and
headed north when the driver applied
the brakes too tightly. 1t is dangerous
to drive a car at all fast, even with
chains, today.

ING MEN MAROONED ON
CHRISTMAS ISLAND N

+ PAPFETE, Tahit.-Two white men
and a native, clothed in rags and suf-
fering from lack of food, have been
rescued from Christmas Island, after
having been cut off from the outside
world for 18 months according to
lpress advices to Auckland which were
brought here.

er, as they had not heard the war was
ended ,and when landing party, in
cluding Admiral Viscount Jellicoe,
went ashore it was held up by Mr..
English, leader of the trio, at the point
|of revolver newspaper reports said.
The three men had been left on the
island by the lessee, Father Rougier,
who is wei known in Tahiti, with a
scant supply of provisions and a
promise a relieving ship would be
sent within 40 days, according to the
flaming Island correspondent Of The
Auckland Weekly News.
"The landing party, which included
Lord Jellicoe," the correspondent con-
tinued, twas held up by English, clad
only in a tattered pair of shirts patch
ed with rice bag. Lord Jellicoe was
amused at the cOmical spectacle pre-
sented of holding up a warship with
revolver, although he was personally
interested in the hardships suffered by
the party. He had long talk with
English and Lady Jellicoe read his
diary.
"The irony of the situatioon of the
marooned men was that they were in
possession of three automobiles
needed for traversing the long dis
tances between the scattered cocoa.
nut groves. The unfortunates had
means of travelling in luxury, yet no
clothes, no food and no comforts.
Rats swarmed everywhere and at
first they devoured the pillows and
blankets while the men slept English
said he would gladly have exchanged
the automobiles for a clean shirt and
trousers.
"The diary which English kept all
the time he was on the island, con-
tains some entries pathetic in their
hopelessness. Day by day he was
longing and praying for a ship to re-
lieve the distress of the party. III
health from exposure and the wretch
edness of the food nearly drove the
men crazy and they would have been
unable to exist for many more weeks"
