"I always thought of mamma, and I prayed for her every night; I wanted God to keep her wherever she might be; papa wanted me to do so. It wss said so ' sincerely and so con vincingly that there was a lull In the ex amlnatlon. The -attorneys were busy sp- parently choking down something In their throats; Judse Covert looked out of the window, but there was a suspicion of moisture In his eyes, while Mrs. Reeves burled her face In her hands. Reeves could not conceal hla feelings and did not attempt to do so. Earlier in the day Miss Annie Caroline Crooks, the English maid who traveled all the way from Auckland. New Zealand, to testify for Reeves, was asked how they spent the evenings when Mrs. Reeves was away from the family In England. "We had a piano In the bouse," she said, "and we used to gather around and sing hymns and pray for her aafe re turn.

"Home rule means home ruin." she continued, and then delved Into a bitter arraignment of the saloons and argu ments along half a dexen different lines aimed to show that It was to the financial, commercial, social and moral benefit of the community to divorce Itself from the liquor traffic To show that the flnancea of the people of a "dry" community are benefited, she re fered to the record of Ashland, which Increased Its swings depositors 1DC0 during the two years following the successful "dry" campaign. "It la the height of Impertinence." she said, "for the Home Kulo advo cates to say that Portland should be allowed to govern Itself In thla respect, for Portland depends largely upon the rest of the state for Ita business, and It Is only right that the rest of the state say whether this city shall have saloona or not."
