 Janet, who had been thinking exactly that, could find no i'm mediate words.

 "At the Templeton House"

 T don't believe moving him could possibly be so bad for him as staying there. It's noisy, ano he hates hotels, anyhow"

 Cynthia did not speak for a long time. When Janet wondering, turn ed to look at her cousin, she saw that her sensitive mouth was quiv- ering like little girls, and that the eyes that always used to be so care fully amused were flooded with tears.
 T didn't know, either. Tims like that" Cynthia said. "Wheri he does something kind, he hates to have anyone know anything about it . Janet, he's the kindest man ever knew"
 Janet said, q know, Cynthia. think I knew the first time I saw him, that he was like that . Aunt Mary knew, too. She told Barney that you'd used your head for the first time in your life when you married him"

Recalling Q "Rustler's" Wor of South Africo

TTNTRAMMELED for centuries,
 the fearless bushmen of Basu. toland, South Africa. were finally gathered together as a nation in 1S24 under the fiery leadership of . rising young chieftain, Moshesh. It was the beginning of an organ- ized struggle for a national free- dom that was to last for many decades.
 For scarcely had the Basuto united under Moshesh when they faced the invasion of the Boer emigrants. Great parties of the Boers settled in l836-37 and shortly quarrels arose between the natives and the white men. who both claimed the same territory. Immediately the Basuto rode down into the Boer country to clear out the "nesters" much as Ahe Indians did in America on 1he arrival of the first homestead CTS. The Basuto raided and rsustled" cattle and before long me Boers found their hands full. But at this juncture the neighbor- ing British stepped in In l843 c treaty was signed with Moshesh creating Basutoland as native state under British protection.
 Quarrels and fighting between ehe Boers and the Basuto contin- ned, however. In 1865 the Boers emerged victorious and Moshesh xound himself face to face with a new Boer free state. Craftily. he appealed to the British for help md in 1868 the British annexed Basutoland. But the troubles were sfill not ended.
 The Basuto and the British wrangled interminably after that until at last in 1884 the govern ment placed the colony directly under the colonial office with pro- vision for a great deal of home r1,le. Since that date the coi- <~..---~-~-~~v~ys ony has been

HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, MAY IL. 1889

Adverse planetary aspects are
active today. according to as
trology. Through the morning
hours merchants and stock brok-
ers should be exceedingly eau
tious.
Speculation will interest many
young men and young women
who are warned against risking
money on markets likely to fluc.
tuate greatly in the next few
weeks.
This is an unfavorable date
for launching any new enter
prise. Beginnings of many
sorts may be unlucky. 1t is wise
to await events that may be
unexpected and sensational.
Commerce is TO be stimulated
by unusual international condi-
tons, American products will be
in great demand in foreign coun-
tries. This is lucky day for
shipping.
There is a sign believed to en-
courage bitter dissension among
persons whose best interests lie
in united action. Political and
industrial issues will be debated
with heat and prejudice.
Radio comes under eonfigur-
alton which seems To pressge
changes of methods in provid-
ing service. The demand for
time is to be greater than ever
before. News snnouneers will
profit.
Motion pictures are TO gain in
patronage in this country. Al
though Hollywood productions
may be barred in certain for
eign countries they will make
advsncements which will offset
whatever loss is sustained.
Persons whose birthdate il is
have the sugury of year OF
extraordinary experiences.
Strangers will become friends,
especially where women are con-
cerned.
Children born on this day may
possess extraordinary mentality.
Unusual talents may be ex-
pected.

STUDENTS PICKETED
SLOT MACHINES

Editor, The Times: The Inter-
national News Service has
placed before its readers the in
teresting story of how the Will
bur Wright high school students
at Detroit, one hundred strong,
picketed a nearby school res
tarant because the proprietor
was one of those nickel snatch
ing racketerrs who set up
gambling devices in their place
of business. The highly indig-
nant gentleman operating the
machine, who undoubtedly felt
he was not getting the protec-
ton he was paying for, called in
the police, but not before he
had his eyes discolored in at
tempting direct action. The po-
lice took the boys to the station
for questioning, but they were
subsequently released and the
machine taken away.
This crusade was led by
young student seventeen years
of age, the president of the Stu
dent Council who said. Cam
bling has been a problem for
some time. II has been so bad
that students would spend five
or six dollars. supposedly to buy
textbooks. on gambling"
Everywhere in the city of Ia
coma, since Commissioner East
wood sent his police out to noti-
fy the merchants that punch
boards were now o. X. these
machines are in operation and
in close proximity TO our public
schools. Our school board should
be concerned in this, and should
be able to bring considerable
pressure TO bear upon our SOM
nolent prosecutor. and perhaps
our valiant sheriff might be
induced 10 send out those two
resplendent new prowl cars the
county has paid for TO pick up
these machines that operate in
violation Of the law. II would.
OF course, be useless TO call the
attention of the mayor and the
city council to what is going on,
for their lineup is with the
gamblers
I trust il will never be said of
Tacoma that our school children
were forced as matter OF self
protection TO take action similar
to the Detroit students. 10 the
shame of our city and county
law enforcing officers. officers
who accept every month hard
earned taxpayers money that
our citizens and their children
may be protected from law vio-
lations. II would also be sad
if our children have TO arouse
their elders to a proper sense Of
this civic duty.

PULSE OF THE PUBLIC

stayed by one job for over 40
years. He says he has not
learned the business yet, but will
carry on just the same. He said
that in 1910 he will be still
living with the same woman so
years and he is still satisfied to
live with her another so years.
This Fifty-Year club is going
to be big thing not only for
the old folks but the children
coming on. They will take pride
in the fact that their parents
were the pioneers of the terri
tory as they will be the pioneers
of the state.
To be an old timer has its
compensatons. To know the
things OF the past and at the
same time keep up with the
things of the present day, is an
education in itself. If the old
folks will hurry and send in
their names TO me or leave their
names with Harry P, Cain in the
Tacoma Jubilee headquarters,
log Rust building, we will soon
be on our way.
Sam A. Andrews was number
one man to respond to the in
vitation to join the club. He
was born in Chicago and has
been in Tacoma longer than
have. l found him here when
arrived in January. 1889, if my
memory serves me right.
Walter J. Thompson, who has
done so much for Tacoma. is
the senior member of the club
up TO now. He is Sc years young
and good for another 30 years
as long as he is active in making
Tacoma grow.
President Norton Clspp, of
the Chamber of Commerce. has
built a Lakewood Center around
which the wheels OF prosperity
are beginning to revolve and
things will be doing every min
ute with Mr.. Clapp as the head
OF Tacoma's live civic organ
ization. For years I heard the
"kickers" call the Chamber of
Commerce gang a bunch of
retarders instead OF an organ
iZaion for progress but lately
everyone has good word for
the management and members
of the club.
Thad Stevenson just simply
has habit of boosting that
makes him try to accomplish
something as each day comes
along. It's such men that make
cities great ana Tacoma is now
big on the map, 80 let everyone
from the old timers to the many
kids that are now coming on
get busy and we will go places
with the people, as the big gaso-
line company says IN their
slogan.
