A Los Angeles youth shot himself
to death because he thought his fian
cee was too good for him. With such
an absence of conceit this young man
ought to draw something pretty good

KEEP ON THE HEAVIES.
Nineteen hundred and fourteen
lamb chops are with us, oysters are
on their last lap, the English topcoat
has appeared on the avenue, the robin
has begun to pipe ' his merry lay,
careful diners are eating eggs fried
on one side only, low necked clams
are numerous, thousands of verdant
young couples are running away and
being married, new potatoes are on
the bill of fare, April magazines
greet the eye, geese are flying north
and umpires are flying south, spring
poets are meandering toward news
paper offices hopefully, the corcuses,
the trailing arbutus and the modest
violet are about to shed their frag
rance upon the air, and verily, the ver
nal impulse stirs the mind made slug
gish by winter. It is safe to say that
Gentle Annie is at hand.
However, that may be and, though
A Washington scientist now claims
there are no naughty children, what
is termed "naughtiness" being mere
ly a symptom of physical ailment. But
it- is noticeable, that those naughty
children are generally healthy enough
to want a little snack now and then
between regular meals.
Parisians declare that while they
may initiate a mode, the American wo
man degrades it. It doesn't seem pos
sible, however, that a little ocean trip
would convert what the French call a
"daring" gown into : a ''degraded
dud." . -
Royalist crowds have been dis
persed in Paris streets. Royalists are
the French unemployed who don't
want work.
There is no occasion for worry over
the strike of 2,000 dressmakers in
New York. American women have
already demonstrated that they can
get along with very little to wear.
The fashion news from Paris says
gowns 4'f'e more decollete than ever,
all signs seem to be propitious, it may but -t pleasant to ,earn that doth.
De wen to pause in our mad night to
ward the perfect contentment of
spring days and consider history. His
tory is ever a mocking old cat, ready
to tear down ideals and make the fond
est hopes look like last year's birds'
nests. It may be well to remember
that history tells us of April bliz
zards and there are some oldest in
habitants like Dr. Bacon who can re
member three or four inches of snow
in May. While it is good to think of
spring and all of her myriad charms
and graces, her balmy breezes and
her budding flowers, there is such a
thing as being over-optimistic.
Be not beguiled, oh dreamer. Leave
the heavy ones on awhile and order
another ton or so of coal, if you need
it. It is a long, weary journey yet
to the day of hoat prostrations and
melting asphalt pnvcmont.
New York Salvation Army singers

There U again talk about reducing
the size of United States paper mon
ey, but as it would save a million,
Congress may not look on the idea
with favor.
Another cathedral in England has
been painted by the suffragets with
"Votes for Women" signs. That
about completes the job except for
several excellent bishops.

Rom.nce of a Discredited Gold and
Copper Mine. .'
When the great mineral' wealth of
this nation has been finally developed
a chronicler will write the. "American
Arabian Nights of Mining." Oue of
the tales, all of which will be true, will
run somewhat as follows: 'l'J
Once upon a time there "was a poor
man of the name of Billy Harris, who
lived at Spokane, Wash. 'He was a
horseman, among other miscellaneous
activities, and bad acquired a consid
erable block of stock in a certain Lerol
Mining company, having taken most of
It in payment from those who owed
him money and who had no other as
sets more tangible. This stock bad
kicked about without a sponsor for
two years and was nominally quoted at
around 10 cents a share. '
One day a friend came along with a
handsome Btalllou. and Billy looked up
on the animal with covetous eyes. Dick
ering began and ended by bis paying
over $5,000 of the stock for the stallion.
The seller, on sober reflection, became
dissatistled with his bargain and
brought suit to recover the horse. He
won, and Wily, with a sigh, took back
bis stock and bade the animal a fond
farewell.
Eighteen months Inter Billy sold the
same stock for $250,000 anil the re
mainder of his holdings for us much
again. The Lerol mine was taken over
by Whltaker Wright and an t:nglls!i
syndicate and produced ? IO.i n .00rt in
gold and copper. It Is not on record
what the original owner of the stallion
said or thought and perhaps It is Jul
as well. Wall Street Journal.

BETRAYAL GRAPHICALLY TOLD.
Was Caused by Weakness in Charac
ter of Judas That Led to Crime.
Betrayal by Judas was the subject
for the noon day services today. In
handling this subject Rev. Fyke de
scribed fittingly and graphically the
betrayal by one who was considered
a friend of Christ, and that it was
therefore not an ordinary betrayal. He
referred to the fact that the betrayal
was caused by a kiss of supposed
friendship, showing that it was the
cause of some weak trait in the
character of the man, namely that of
covetousness.
Tomorrow Rev. F. Bussard of Bell
inghnm, Washington, will, be the
speaker. The program for the rest
of the week follows:
Tuesday, March 31. He endured the
agony and bloody sweat.

trayed. Thursday, April 2. He was denied.
