WORST MAN BEARING THE IMAGE OF GOD

Judge Belt of Superior Court At Spokane Thus Expresses Himself on Orchard. MOT ENTITLED TO CREDIT. HIRED ASSASSIN IS BEYOND THE PALE OF HUMAN COMPASSION ALTHOUGH MURDER CAN BE PITIED. Spokane, Wa.sh., April 1 "IT murder is punishable hy death under the laws of T'lalio, then Hairy Orchard, who, in his shastly recital of 'truth,' showed himself to he the most ) blooded, cruel, abandoned and dangerous wretch who over bore the imac of God, should suffer the extreme penalty, whatever may have been his motive for telling the truth." JudRP George W. BHt, formerly of the Spokane county superior court, thus expressed himself against. .Indtre Wood's recommendation for mercy in passing sentence on the confessed assassin of former Gov. Frank Sietinenbersr, adding: "I am unable to see that Orchard is entitled to any particular credit for telling the truth. He had been reveliiiR in crime for years, leavinir a bloody trail behind him. and when at last the Jaw laid hold of him it was but natural that he should believe the state had evidence against him which he could rot escape, and, besides, it is claimed that before he confessed ho was led to believe that the men who had employed him for his bloody work had abandoned him to his fate. 1 have pity and sympathy for the man, who In the heat of passion kills another, but the hired assassin is beyond the pale of human compassion. No man's life is safe so long as there are men in the world who will kill for a fee." THREW CHILD AT M HUSBAND Dismayed Husband Undertook Trust. Fort Wayne. Intl.. April 4. John ('. Keller is a man weighted down with trouble. His wife is suing for divorce, but that is the least of his troubles, according to her complaint, which alleges he deserted her and their 2-year-old baby four months ago. Keller now has (he baby on his hands and it is keeping him pretty busy and worried to care for the youngster. Mrs. Keller approached her husband nt the preliminary hearing in court and tossed the child into his arms, saying: "Take your child; I have fed her for four months fin air; now- see what you can do." The dismayed husband undertook the trust as gracefully as possible under the circumstances and says that, bis experience has been broadened considerably already for that, of a mere man. AFTER TWENTY YEARS Husband Returned and Confronted His Wife in the Court Room. SHE ALMOST FAINTED. Peoria, 111., April 4. Like a specter James Ellison, who fled from his wife nnd family at Curtis, Neb., 20 years ngo, appeared in the circuit court yesterday, proclaimed his identity and put a stop to the proceedings which bis former wife, now Mrs. William Gray, had started to recover on a life Insurance policy wnich Ellison had assigned to her before his flight. His wife was on the witness stand nd bad just told the judge thai because she had not heard from Ellison for ten years, she considered him tie ad. "Would you know .Mr. Ellison if you should see him?" asked Attorney J. A. Weil for the insurance company. "I am not sure I would," she answered. "Then just look at this man," Ellison said. Mrs. Ellison turned and almost fainted as she beheld her former husband. She and Ellison, their three daughters and a son who had just returned from the army, had a family reunion in the judge's chambers. Six years ago EllUon's wife, iiaii.g obtained a divorce, married William Gray at Toluca. 111. That marriage was unhappy however, and the couple separated soon afterwards. The affection displayed by Ellison and Mrs. Gray was so pronounced when they were reunited that it is expected they ill remarry.

PRONGS OF PLOW STRUCK OLD HOARD Included $4,000 in Gold Coin. Hliie Mountain, .Miss., April 4. Move than $1,000,000 in Confederate currency and about $ 4,00l in olil coin and bullion was unearthed by the prong of a plow on I?ret Knox's farm, near here, by the planter, who had just taken the reins of the mule in hand in an effort to show a negro hand how to "ditch" a trough intended to carry the accumulation of water from the plot of ground in cultivation. The treasure is believed to have originally belonged to Samuel I i. Thompson, whose father was prominent in the Confederate cause during the Civil War. hut, as there are no heirs, Knox will retain possession unless a claim is made. The Confederate bills were mostly of $.", $10 and $20 denomination, and were so mildewed from age that they fell to fragments when handled. No tree, post or other means of locating the buried treasure was visible, hiu it is said that ered by tree the spot was thickly cos during war times. Ths Cave Dwtliers of Italy. Iu several of the towns of southern Italy through which I passed there were pointed out to me eaves cut into the solid rocks of the hillside where people are living. In one such cave house in Scill. Sicily, there was a rough bed on one side of the cave, on the other an oil press turned by a donkey. Often I have seen houses whose walls were constructed of brush and mud anil the roofs nmde of rough tiles or thatched with straw. The peasant h:is been most patient. Naturally light hearted and long suffering, he would cheerfully eat a piece of black bread and an onion for his morning meal, corntnenl much seasoned with a little olive oil nnd bread for dinner, boiled potatoes and a piece of goat's cheese with more black bread at nlghf, and then at the close of his humble repast stoop down and touch the ground with his hand and, kissing it. thank God for his favors. In some of the remoter towns the simple minded people continue to fto so. But coutentmeut under such conditions could exist only so Ion.? as there wns no contact Avith the outside world.

San Francisco, Ca!., April 4. Floretta Whaley. who (doped with .lore Knode Cooke, formerly pastor of St. George's church, Hempstead, L. I., in an interview published in the Examin er today under the name of Floretta W. Balcom, the naiiK' now taken by Cooke, says: "My life since leaving Hempstead has been happy. I feel that 1 am as truly married to Mr. Halcom as though the ceremony had been performed before an altar and by seven bishops. God lias surely joined us and no human agency shall put us asunder. If Mrs. Cooke ever obtains a divorce we will be married i before the law. Mrs. Cooke was an obst iele in our way and we had to get around her. We have done so. and the only thing we could now ask of her is that she should make it possible for us to be married and take our place in the world as we would like to. While we have not lived in luxury, we have been comfortable and Mr. Balcom has had no trouble in making a good living for the baby and me. Mr. Balcom is an expert workman and makes $4.50 a day. When my estate is settled I will have between $100,000 and $130,WHEAT FARM TO GO New Industry Springs Up in Washington, Causing Speculation. Wall a Walla. Wash.. April 4. -Is the big wheat farm about to be lost to the great Northwest '.- is a question that is being asked over and over again by men in a!! stations of life in this section. A feeling seems to be getting ho'.d of tl.e farmers and the larger business men that wheat growing in. large tracts and in 'arire quantities by one man is nearly a thing of the past. The discussion of this matter has been brought about at this time particularly by the proposed establishment of a big packing plant in the West by the Swifi interests, and the avowed intention of these well known meat packers to establish a stock-raising business all over tlie Western states wherever hog and cattle raising can be carried on successfully. it is conceded by men who have spent their lives in the West that there is a wonderful future to live stock business when once a home market is provided for all the products of the fields and farms of a great stretch of country hitherto given to grain production or '.eft in a wild state valueless to anybody, t The new order of things will bring r.bout a close settlement of the country and the cutting ud of farms into small tracts where families, can make homes and build up communities of va'ti" to thf state and to the nation. As the result of this, vast acreages of wheat will be iuiyoiiiU.

A man of wealth quietly coming in search of his sweet heart of ears before, w hom he found an inmate of the Delaware Counts' Inhrniary, a wedding and a joous departure for the home of the groom in the sunny South, such was the culmination of the romance of John Gwinner of Florida anil Mrs. Kleanora Part low. Both have passed the age of two score and ten. Years ago the two wore sweethearts in the South. Mrs. Part low. however, following a lover's quarrel, married another and left with him for the North. Gwinner never married. Several years ago, Mrs. Partlow's husband died, leaving her in destitute circumstances and sin- was finally obliged to seek aid of the county. Gwinner recently heard of the whereabouts of Mrs. Parilow and of her husband's death and came to Delaware in search of her. His search was rewarded and t and left at once for farm in Florida. ley were married the groom's fruit The Riviera of Portugal. "A picturesque village of hotels anCi villas grouped upon the skie of a hill descending in a semicircle to the sea. with pines and eucalyptus woods above and palms everywhere tielow and with a climate noticeably warmer than that of Lisbon." This surely might be a description one's id?al winter resort. If so, it is an ideal easily realized. The name Riviera is now so generally applied to certain portions of the French and Italian littoral that the possibility of the existence of other RIvieras is apt to be overlooked; but, in the opinion of many travelers, tbe Riviera of France and Italy is outclassed by the Riviera of Portugal, which is briefly descrilwd in the above quotation. This Portuguese Riviera is situated at the mouth of the river Tagus nnd Is known as Mont' Estoril. Its position, completely protected on the north and east from cold winds by a high range of hills and open to the sea on the west and south, makes it just the place to ppend a winter, and it Is easily accessible from England. The thermometer through the whiter montbs shows, it is claimed, a mean standard of eight to ten degrees higher at Nice. London News. Stranger This village boasts of a band, doesn't it? Resident No; we just endure it with resignation. FOR FIGURING JOB.

Yours and Ours

Wc supply to your children just as good food aS ve demand for our children. We know that the wheat should be steam-cooked for six hours. So we do that. Each berry should then be flaked so thin that the full oven heat gets to the center. Then a fierce heat must be applied to break down the granules of starch. So we toast the flakes, for 30 minutes, at 400 degrees. To make Mapl-Flake requires 96 hours. There are many ways where this work could be slighted, and the taste would not show it. Flaked wheat can be made, and is made, in onefourth of the time we' spend on it. We could sell you the package for 10 cents instead of 15 cents, if we made those economies. But we would not give half -cooked wheat to our children, so we don't to yours. We know that starch, unless properly cooked, is insoluble. The particles are not separated so the digestive juices can get to them. So we spend 96 hours to get a food that's all food, all digestible. And we flavor it with pure maple syrup, so that the food which is best for the child will be the food

that it wants. This flavor is expensive, of course, for we boil the pure maple syrup with the wheat when we cook it. But a child chooses food largely by taste. It is wise, for all concerned, to thus induce the child to eat the food it should have. Mapl-Plake is the only wheat food which entirely digests. Our long process does all that is necessary. We use it in our homes. Please try it in yours. The only food ervi1 In individual packe in hotels, clubs, cafes, and on dmiof cars.
