Peggy, aged 10. has been slow in learning to make herself usetui about the house. 6he cannot be depended upon praperly to make her bed. to dust orkswerp, to set the table or dry tlii dishes. Her eldest sister at that ok! did all these things. Tli. mother wonders how It is that her two daughters tempera mentally much alike, brought up to ilet r-r In the same house, can dif fer no much In their response to hoi ehold responsibilities. 1 ere is one way that this easily ma: have- come about. The eldest chil In any family usually learns qui kly to be self-reliant and re apo jiible. The presence of younger chlfnran takes up mother's time and ttsftuton, and the eldest Is called i o learn self-reliance as quick- possioie. hen too, the eldest always looks rrown up to the mother with a younger child in her arms or hns: at her skirts that she Is apt load upon her responsibilities wlsjch are mucn oeyono wnat snouid be required of any on. child. sVcauM the eldest Is most ca pable anrt quickly grows to be tne mqst dependable, she Is allowed and .ifected to assume duties which ahliiid be duly proportioned among alll the children, each according to luZ ability. Meanwhile the youngeM la permuted to enjoy overlong the prfVl!oa and Immunities of heip Inaneaa. 1h mother who wishes neither toxplc4t tne superior uniiiui. hrt eldest nor to deprive the young- hi of the opportunity for learning i toJb helpful and useful, must tiifril against running; her house h1 merely with an eye to her own e.venieno. Th. awkward youngest rr..t have a chance to learn and to j r)v th approval that comes when , "VER nix months have jiasxed since Hum I'reseott, city police officer of Aslilanil, arrested Jaiiien Kingsley, when the latter was unable to show ownership of the car he whs driving. Anticipatint; no trouble, believing the case involved nothing more serioiiH than another car theft, tiie yoiini; officer turned his back, and as he did so the arrested youth shot hiinj as he fell mortally wounded, shot him again. A more cowardly, cold blobded, wanton murder, has never been committed in Jackson County, or in liny part of tile state for that matter. Kingsley attempted. -to escape, but was ar rested in the Siskiyous, and made a full and complete confes sion of the crime. ' ' OUT later, as always happens, instead, of pleading guilty, he " pleaded not guilty, was given a fair trial, in open court, and granted able legal defense. After brief deliberation the jury returned a verdict of guilty, and in accordance with the verdict, King.sley was Kentenced to hang. Hut also, as "AIAVAYS IIAITKN.S," an appeal against that sentence was taken. Yesterday the Supreme Court denied that appeal, and now, according to Kingsley's attorneys, a petition reipiesting a rehearing of the case will be presented. So the case of the State of Oregon vs. James Kingsley rrom ises to drag on and on. i PUBLIC feeling ran high against Kingsley when the crime was committed. It is not. running high now. In another six months, if the ease should still not he settled, there would prob ably be many residents of Southern Oregon, who would have to jog their memories to recall, just what happened oii the morn, ing of January 24, lO.'Jl, and just who this man Kingsley was. - -........'

Hut here, even the value of capital punishment as a deter rent to violent rime, is lost, for with human nature, what it is', a certain sympathy for the condemned after a long ptiod of time is unavoidable, and there is no way of properly fitting in the public mind, the punishment with the crime.

Chapter 26 TO HUSH A SCANDAL tS THE silence which followed Jimmle Harrlgan'e recital ot the desert tragedy that had accom panied the discovery of Mother Mountain Lode, the campflre had burned to ashes, half revealing the ruddy glow of underlying coals. The desert Hay shadowy and mysterious with the distant moun tains silhouetted against the after glow. To the north the rounded breasts of Mother Mountain lifted luto the evening light . Pierre moved closer to his com panion. "Are you sure, Mr. Harri gan, that I will be able to find my under the circumstances that you should be the one to find him fer her," "But it was hot Ann's fault," Pierre shouted, rising to h'.s feet In sudden excitement. And then, be wildered as he was by those tragic events In Orchard If 111. and appalled by his surroundings, Pierre tallied recklessly. "Bruce is a damned foal! lie charged Ann with being in love with with another man said he had known for a loug time. He knows It couldn't be true! lie made it up 06 an excuse for deserting Ann. but he'll never get away with It never. Nat It I live to get to him!" "Yer friend. Bruce Carey, appears to be resourceful," said Jimtriie. "But why is he rosmln' about this desert wld Colorado Bill?" "Why, you see, somebody In Red Butte had been trying to persuade Bruce to invest la a gold mine, but Bruce didn't have money enough. Then well he got some money and disappeared. Father Tony and Ann and I figured that be had gene to Red Butte; so I came out to find him and take him back." "And ye're thinkln' ye can take this wayward husband back to his sorrowln' wife, are ye?

If I know who this Colorado Bill was, or it I know what Bruce" He paused. The Irishman looked at htm sharply. "See here, me lad, there's ono thing ya've got to tell nic: Is this Bruco Carey like to bo friendly to ye, or not? Because av he'e likely to bo hostile, well, ye're noi goin' not alono anyhow." "But no matter how Bruce re ceives me. 1 must go to htm for Ann's sake." "For Anil's sn!:e? And might I ask who Is Ann?" "Ann Is Bruce's wife." "Oh, ho, so Ann Is Bruce's wife. And Is Ann a sister or anything like that to you?" "No, neither Bruce nor Ann Is re lated to me. but wo all grew up to gether In the samo village, and I lived with them after ihey were married." "Well, well It strikes me a bll queer that Ann's husband should noed fimlln' by anybody.

"You're all wrong and now I've got to tell you the whole thing." "I'm thinkln' yo'd better do that eamo," retorted tho desert man quietly. "All right," roturued Pierre. "I'll tell you: Ann's father, Martin Bevls. and her husband. Bruce, both worked In that bank. But at the very hour of the robbery.

No Thf Mill Tribune. . Mtw.tsur WE'RE CiKOWINO M TOWARD In the past few days several new methods of dealing with enlarged or infected tonsils have been introduced and used with suc cess by physicians who have special training and skill In the special work. One method Which I have "promoted" here as much m I believe It deserves Is the diathermy extir pation, o t n e r wise called electro coagulation of ton Blls. This must not bo confused with the old time "burning" of the tonsils Dy cauter a piece 01 metal -neatea red hot either by flame of electricity and then thrust Into the tonsil. That was frightfully crude and It never de served serious consideration. The dia thermy method Involves no burning at all. Indeed, many patients go through most or all ex the half doz en sittings required without even a local anesthetic. A second met hoc which Is employ ed with entire satisfaction by a com paratively smal: number of physi cians is the radium method a mi nute quantity of radium emanation called a "radon" seed, In a wee glass tube. Is Implanted In. the tonsil and left for a few days. Then it Is with drawn. For several months after this the tonsil shrinks until it becomes an insignificant fibrous nodule, and gives no further trouble. I have no personal knowledge1 of this method, having seen only a few patients treat ed. But gooe men report that It is satisfactory. , ' . The X-ray treatment is particular ly satisfactory for young persons whose tonsils are- quite large but not badly scarred or Infected, and where there Is considerable adenoid enlarge ment. In the presence of marked In fection, presumably foci or abscesses in the tonsil, X-ray treatment is not entirely satisfactory, though It does prove effective In some cases. It Is at least worthy of careful considera tion in any case where there is some good reason for avoiding surgery or general anesthesia. In the earlier days of diathermy ex tirpation it was quite conventional for the doctor or throat specialist who was totally Ignorant of the method to tell Inquirers It was "dangerous," or that it was useless against infec tion, or that it had been tried out many years ago and discarded (obvi ously this was confusion of the cau tery with diathermy In the doctor's mindh As it Is now regularly employed by the better 'physicians and throat spe cialists everywhere, diathermy 1b prov ing extraordinarily eftective in disin fecting foci or infection In the ton sils, in many instances, wttnout bud Jectlng the patient to the serious risks of the old time operation.

' i These late developments in thera peutics' have had much' influence In revising the attitude of the profession toward the tonsils. Doctors capable I ORB CONSERVATIVE TONSILS 1 -i mnlrlnrf cnnnrl nh. servations are taking a more onc servative view of the question today. This is especially evident to me In the letters I receive from patients everywhere. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Spinal Curvature Our daughter, aged 9, has a slight curve in her spine, also one hip Is higher than the other. Please give ua a set of exercises . . . where can we get literature on the subject? (P. C. O.) Answer. I advise you to take your daughter to a competent orthopedic surgeon for examination and instruc tions as to exercise or other correct ive measures. If you can't afford to consult the orthopedist, then take her to any good physician. If you can't afford a physician, take her to the nearest free clinic or dispensary. I do not think spinal curvature la a proper subject for lay reading or study. " Cyst Doctor, aged 26, has what doctor diagnoses as cyst of the breast. Is cutting the only remedy, and If so, is the operation serious? (M. W.) Ans. A cyst is a sac or bladder like swelling with fluid or semi-fluid contents. The most familiar cyst Is sebaceous cyst, commonly called wen. The only remedy is surgical removal of the sac. Such an operation for cyst in the hreast Is a minor opera tion. Terrier Sheds Hnlr For two years we have had a dog, sort of. fox terrier with very coarse hair, which he sheds constantly. Some one tells us that if any particules of this hair are swallowed It would cause consumption. (J. Z.) Ans. No truth In that Idea. Such dogs generally shed hair every spring. You may prevent the nuisance by giv ing the dog a careful combing and brushing every day. Occasionally a person who happens to be sensitized suffers asthma when exposed to in halation of dog hair or dander. Thrombi. AngltiA OlilienUuns .
