Lavey.' But the story Is best told In "Pat's" own words, com ing as they did this morning, from a full heart, while he read and reread the letter from hi old-time friend, "Just IK year ago," said Mr. Lavey, "I arrived direct from Ireland. II was born In a suburb of the city of Dublin) and Joined relative of mine In the little town of Burllngame, Kan., where my parent yet reside. This country was Indeed a revelation lo me at that time, and no doubt I was also a revelation to the people of that small town, because I wore the native garb of an Irish lad and' was anxious to see everything there was to be seen.

Spauldlng, who was one of the fore most business men of the town,, and noted for his generosity. He started me in business selling the old Kansas City Time. fixed me up a uniform and cap with the name of the paper across the front, and I waa the proud est 'kid' In the world. I could alng some good Irish songs tn those days, and a I used to throw in a song and dance with every paper, business was always good. Mr. Spauldlng was al ways like a father to me and I felt that 'the American people were the best on earth, and have never changed my mind. 'Finally Mr. Spauldlng went away to Texas. I kept track of him for a year and then lost him, but last Sun day, while looking over the Oregonlan I ran across his advertisement, and Immediately wrote to learn If It was my old friend and benefactor. I -re-Jcelved his answer this morning, and , I am going to visit him as aoon as pos sible. "I believe that every boy In the world remembers gratefully the men who are kind to him during his youth. I have never In the intervening 11 year forgotten a single one of the many favors Mr. Spauldlng conferred upon mo as a boy, the good advice gavo me. and the fatherly sympathy he so freely showered upon mo when I told him my troubles. Tills letter tells me that he Is the same big hearted fellow of 20 years ago, and I know that he must have hundred 4 I ' ... i Drug Storel ; . LA GRANDE, ORE.

"It there 1 any satisfaction to a man In the knowledge' that"" through hlg kindness to a boy, that boy'wa? started In life straight and square and (hat In after life that boy always re membered him with true gratitude, then O. P. SpauldinK should be hapiy In the thought; for to him and his big heart I owe k debt I can never repay. And," concluded Lavey, "there Is an other lesson Taught by this Incident. It was an advertisement that reunited us after 21 years separation. I still maintain that advertising always pays and always will pay; If not in one way. It will In another."' The reporter left Lavey reading again ' the lettei from his friend and benefactor, a smile . of happiness and ' gratitude spread from ear to ear. ' ' " Big K. of P. Convention. ' . Boston, July ii, Boston Is now preMU'tu tut . ; t ".t tion.'the 25th biennial session of the Knight of Pythias, which will be held here .early In August. ' One hundred thousand Pythlans arid other visitors will be entertained-'' making it the largest gathering that any 1 fraternal organization has ever held In' the Hub, The local committee is dally In receipt pf telegrams and letters' asking that accommodations1 we reserved for targe delegations',' 'and 'these' come from every part of the Union and Canada. . .

LANDIS FINE WAS WRONG (Continued from page 1.) the Standard pf Indiana, was owned principally by the new eJraey corpora tion. That corporation waa not be fore the court for trial. "No monarch, no parliament, no tribunal of western Europe for cen turies ha pretended to have the right to punish except after due trial. Can that rightfully be done here' on the basis of the Judge' personal belief that the party deserved marked pun ishment? If that If so, it Is because the man who happen to be Judge is above the law." The ducNIon handed down was unanimous. The opinion declares that Landl? erred In excluding the testimony ,of Holland, a government witness, who wished to change his former testimony In which he stated he did not remem ber tilling anyone that the six cent commodity rate sheet had been filed with the InterKtate commls.'ilon. The decision says the finding of the loner court is reversed bi-causu "the' evidence thus proffered was excluded by the court for the sole rcaxon that, as a matter of fact, the court not the Jury found that the sheet containing this six cent commodity rate had not been filed with the Interstate commission. The Jury should have decided this, nt the Judge. The opinion states that Landts erred In ruling that Ig norance of the legal tariff rate on the part of the shipper accepting rebate may not be pleaded as a defense.' , JIKY IIHAGIli:CD. .
