After an hour In the library, Mrs. But
tell, her daughter and the visitors, went
to the dining-room for luncheon.
"Mr. Buttell will he here soon, said
Mrs. Buttell. "I wonder what time It Is
getting to be."
As If In answer a large eight-day clock
that stood In a shadow on a mantel In
the room began to strike nine. Mrs.
, Buttell counted the strikes aloud.
" eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve
i why. It surely can't be so late," she ex
i claimed. All arose and faced the clocR,
j which kept on striking. It went through
J the teens without hesitation, and through
i the twenties as if it were nsed to strik

pause.
" thirty-five," Mrs. Buttell counted
I aloud, 'thirty-six, thirty-seven, thlrty

J Mrs. Buttell turned pale. "And I am
38 yeairs old today." she said.
Mr. Buttell arrived a few minutes later
and found his wife and the visitors in a
highly nervous state. He admitted that
the story sent chills creeping up and
down his back. He said that the clock

SECOND TRIAL DOWNFALL
Indian- Cashes Fictitious Check for
$375 and Is Committed to
Asylum Tx-.Vent Recalls
Baffling Forgeries,
PENDLETON, -Or. Fetv. 18. (Special.)
Walter Peo, son of the once famous
chief of the Umatilla tribe of Indians,
has been committed to the asylum
maintained at Canton, S. X.. for insane
Indians. He is guilty of having forged
the name of George La Fountaine so
accurately that a Pendleton bank
cashed a check for $275 without the
slightest suspicion.
The forgery was not discovered until
several weeks afterward and by that
time the cashier could not remember
to whom the money had been paid.
Had the Indian not been made reck
less by his success he might have es
caped arrest for this offense. But his
suooess in Pendleton made him attempt
the same thing in Korth Yakima. He
failed to get any money there, how
ever. Sheriff Taylor obtained a good
description of the Indian, which re
sulted in his capture at Lewis ton, sev
eral months after the original check
was passed.
In referring to the ease with which
tills Indian imitated the signature of
the reservation farmer. Major Lee (
Moorhouse, ex-agent on the Umatilla
reservation, maker of Indian photo
graphs and student of Indian life, says
Red men as a race can give Whites
all kinds of pointers when it comes to
forgery. Ail educated Indians are good
penmen, the Major says, and the art of
Imitation seems to come to them
naturally.
lie recalled the time when a 14-year-old
boy forged the name of Major G.
W. Harper, then agent of the Umatilla
Indians, to a check for 2500 and Imi
tated the signature so accurately that
the bank officials could not detect the
forgery. The money was not paid over,
however, but only for the reason that
there was not that much cash on hand
at the time. Another Incident was
cited of how a young Indian woman in
the employ of B. F. McElroy, the
agency farmer, successfully raised
every check that was given her In pay
ment for her work. This series of
forgeries was not discovered until in
the Fall, when McElroy attempted to
balance up his accounts.
Still another incident cited was that
of Ed Chapman, the Indian who forged
the name of Ed Llnser so successfully
that the bank officials swore it was
Linser's signature, even after Llnser
denied it. The proof of its forgery
was not discovered until several months
later. The imitation was so perfect
that even Llnser was forced to admit
that he could not point out the par
ticulars in which it differed from his
own writing.

When the invitation later was with

the Unitarian Church, then asked Pro
fessor Howe to give his address.
"The mission of Christ was to unlta
God and man," Professor Howe con
tinued. "Man was severed from God by
sin and ignorance. A twofold revela
tion was necessary to reunite him to
God; a revelation of God to man and
of man to himself. That revelation
Christ made. That revelation, by the
character of his life and personality.

Christians -Perceive love,
"He revealed God to man by his
teaching that Ood is love, and that in
such loving-kindness there is infinite

Christ and by his life and the lasting

had looked at the mountain and the
storm, and the starry night, and
learned God's might and beauty. To
know what God is like, the prophets
had looked into the lives of the best
and wisest men, and found God there
revealed as wisdom and righteousness.
To know what God is like we look into
the heart of Christ and find that God
is love. We do not lose the psalmist's
perception of, God's power; the pro
phet's perception of his righteousness,
but we add the' Christian perception
of his loving-kindness.
Thus Christ becomes our Savior, the
Savior of all the world from the fear
of death and hell. I suppose the two
are one. The same word Is translated
In our Bible, now hell, now the grave.
The two stand for the mysterious here
after and the dread men have of death
and what lies after death; whether
that be annihilation, utter and outer
darkness, a red furnace of torture, or
whatever else the timidity of the
human heart or the guilt of the human
conscience can" imagined And quietly,
easily, forever, Christ takes from death
its sting, from the grave its victory, by
reminding us that God is our father,
that he loves us with an Infinite, for
giving love, and that we shall be safe
in his hands. Whoso has faith to be
lieve the words of Christ shall thereby
be saved for the fear of death and hell.
Salvation Is From Pear.
"Thus, by believing in Christ, as the
text olNour translations of the Bible
words it, men are saved, not exactly
from death, annihilation or a. hereafter
of torment, but from the fear of these
things from the monstrous supposition
that these things ever had any reality
we needed to be saved from. Every
where he teaches us that God is our
father: nowhere does he set any limita
tion on that or give the phrase any
special and unusual meaning. Indeed,
that Is the very heart and essence of
his revelation of God' to man; that
God is our very father, with whom
we should have the same not a similar
but the same unity that Christ had.
Yet you will hear it said that God is
not our father in the same sense in
wbicji God was Christ's father.
"Do not mistake; that doctrine will
destroy the whole of Christ's teaching.
Even as the doctrine that Christ is not
our own brother, struggling Godward
out of Ignorance and limitation, bat
tling with temptation and sin, and by
overcoming them showing us what we
may do, but instead a God merely
mocking the eyes and hearts of men

by taking on the outward semblance
of a man destroys the authority of
Christ over our lives, so this doctrine
that Christ was a God and the only
begotten son of God. the father, will
leave us fatherless, orphans or perhaps
worse, step-children of a stern step

his hands, except his own son be pre

POLICY OF PINCHOT
COSTS STATE DEAR
Washington's Conservation
Plan Results in Decrease
of State Tax.
TIMBER LAND IN RESERVE
Property State Would" Sell Cannot
Be Touched Because of Forestry
' Restrictions Permanent Fund
Yields Maintaining Interest.
BT J. H. BROW.
OLTMPIA, Wash., Feb. 13. (Special.
With about one-eighth of Its granted
lands sold, the State of Washington
has today. in permanent funds, derived
from such sales, nearly $7,000,000. This
fund, invested in interest-bearing se
curities, -is annually bringing in more
than $260,000 to meet the expenses of
state government, money that other
wise would have to be raised by taxa
tion. If the original intentions may be car
ried out, and if Federal conservation
theorists do not prevent. Washington's
granted lands will, when disposed of,
judging from recent sales, produce an
aggregate permanent fund of not less
than $90,000,000 upon which the state
will for all time derive a revenue of
probably no less than $3,000,000 a year.
With the miscellaneous revenue this
will be more than sufficient to meet all
state needs, so that not one penny of
state tax will need be levied.
State's Timber Sells High.
State lands have been actually con
servatively handled, in marked contrast
to Federal conservation ideas. In spite
of all 'the vast expense of the Federal
Government in its Forestry Bureau,
with its horde of foreign and domestic
experts, it is a peculiar fact that the
State of Washington uniformly gets a
higher price for its timber than does
Uncle Sam.
Incidentally it might be mentioned, in
view of the Cunningham, Wilson and
other Federal coal land scandals, that
the State of Washington some time ago
took action to conserve coal on its lands
and that for many months not an acre
of state lands bearing coal was open
either- to lease or purchase. '
. The State of Washington likewise re
serves from all its deeds all minerals
and oils and the right to mine and ex
tract the same. When it comes to
practical conservation, Washington and
Its state land administration has the
Federal Interior Department distanced.
Money Goes Into Fund.
Washington's state lands cannot be
sold for less than $10 an acre and then
only after published notice and at pub
lic auction. This is a constitutional
provision. The constitution also pro
vides that the money derived from
these sales must be placed in a per
manent fund, which may never be
spent, but which may be invested in
certain bonds and securities and the
interest derived therefrom may be
used for various current expenditures.
State Treasurer Lewis reports that
from state lands sold through the de
partment of the Land Commissioner,
E. W. Ross, there were on hand Feb
ruary 1, 1910, as bond investments of
these permanent funds the following:
Common school -S6.o27.671
University 5S,fV50
Sclentlflce school 165,97$
Agricultural College 133.S25

, Plnchot Policy Holders.
During last year $1,696,031 receipts
from the several funds were Invested
in . b.onds. In addition to the bonds
listed above there are several hundred
thousand dollars cash now on hand be
longing to the funds awaiting invest
ment. Just where the Plnchot conservation
policy hits is this: Much of the best
land belonging to the state grants Is
now tied up in forest reserves. The
state cannot sell it and get the money
to put In its fund. Uncle Sam is sell
ing some of the timber, but none of
that money goes into the permanent
state fund. Conservation, In other
words, as practised by Plnchot and his
followers, is keeping coin" out of the
state coffers and is holding down the
state revenues to the direct annual loss
of every taxpayer of the state.

FOREST GROVE MAY LOSE

City Fears Cnited Railways Will Xot

FOREST GROVE, Or.. Feb. 18. (Spe
cial.) Surveying crews of the United
Railways are at work in -the Cedar
Canyon section. It is said here that
the contemplated line of the company
will not. touch Forest Grove because
the right of way through the Verboort
settlement Is questioned. There is also
a rumor that the line .will be a steam
railroad and that only those portions
running into Forest Grove and Hills
bore will be electrified.
The United Railways was granted a
franchise into Forest ' Grove some
months ago and the business men raised
$3000 for the purchase of terminal
grounds northwest of town. The pro
posed change of the Unlted's line has
caused some comment here.
A meeting was held at Gales Creek

from Cook to Pearysville.

when his evidence failed to prove his
claim the residents of the place decided
to change the name of the hamlet in

interesting information - In mraH tn
China's industrial development is fur
nished by Mr. Akatsuka, Secretary of
the Foreign Office at Tokio. who hni
Just completed an extensive tour of in
quiry in that country.- According to
Japanese Journal, he reports that ths
"rights-recovery" cry is now supple
mented by a demand for the develoD-
ment of native industries, so that the
tinhabitants. as far as possible, may be
able to dispense with foreign products
ana manufactures.
Mr. Akatsuka divides the promoters
of the agitation into- five classes. In
the first are placed those who are in
fluenced by really patriotic motives.
Their number is exceedingly small. Tho
second consists of persons who utilize
the excitement as a lever for getting
themselves Into good positions. They
are the most numerous. In the third
group are promoters of companies who.
by exciting the popular mind, hope to
obtain subscribers for shares in en
terprises which would not otherwise
command support. In the fourth cate
gory are placed men who, being envi
ous of the successful combinations
formed by foreigners and Chinese for
business purposes, are anxious to oust
the foreigner and succeed to the nosi
tlons that capital and energy have built
up. Finally, there are the local offi
cials who are genuinely solicitous on
behalf of native industries, and who
would fain see the country developed
so as to be independent of supplies
xrom aDroad.
It is stated that the movement is nn
doubtedly serving to inspire Industrial
progress. Companies are springing up
for the prosecution of electric works
and railways, although it is noticeable
that these are, for the most Dart, under
taken partly by officialdom and partly
by private persons. This combination
is, however, not unnatural, for, by the
aia ox otiiciais alone can land be cheaD-
ly acquired for building factories and
other facilities secured.

Peculiar and Accidental Discovery

WASHINGTON. Feb. 13. The fact,
learned from documents recently exhibited
In Seattle, that Thomas Jefferson, when
President, declined to appear in court
and produce certain papers in the trial
of Aaron Burr for treason, taken in con
nection with the attitude of the Senate
and iHouee in the mandamus of Judge
Wright to the Joint committee on print
ing to appear In the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia last week, aroused
Interesting comment among officials of
the Department of Justice.
(Mr. Jefferson was asked to bring a let
ter from, a General who was believed to
have knowledge of Burr's alleged treas
onable designs' upon the Southwest, but
he contended that, as the Executive offi
cer of the Government, he was exempt
from the process of the court.
The documents do not disclose just how
the incident ended, but one official said
it was his recollection, from reading the
history of the trial, that the President's
attitude was upheld by the courts.
'Burr was tried at Richmond, Va, In
1807, and was acquitted. The papers,
more than a hundred years old, were

THE SLEEPING SICKKESS
WHICH MEANS DEATH
How many readers have heard of this
terrible disease? It prevails in that
far-away country Africa especially
tha Congo district It Is caused by
the bite of the tsetse fly. When it
bites a person, the sleeping: symptoms
begin and finally the aufferer sleeps
until death occurs.
Contrast this with the peaceful,
balmy Bleep of health. Is there any
thing; more wearing than to lie awake
at night, tossing about, nervous, with
cold feet, hot head and mercy knows
what else? Short of letting the tsetsa
fly bite us we would do almost any
thing for relief. How can we pre
vent It? Mr. George Hayes, of
Union City, Pa., writes: "I had lost
my appetite, was all run-down, could
not sleep nights. I had tried every
thing without relief. Vlnol was rec
ommended, and to my surprise, - It
helped me at once; gave me a splendid
appetite, and now I sleep soundly."
What Vlnol did for Mr. Hayes, it wilt
do for every run-down, nervous and
overworked person who cannot sleep.
