MOT ENTITLED TO CREDIT. HIRED ASSASSIN IS BEYOND THE PALE OF HUMAN COMPASSION ALTHOUGH MURDER CAN BE PITIED. Spokane, Wa.sh., April 1 "IT mur der is punishable hy death under the laws of T'lalio, then Hairy Orchard, who, in his shastly recital of 'truth,' showed himself to he the most ) blooded, cruel, abandoned and danger ous wretch who over bore the imac of God, should suffer the extreme pen alty, whatever may have been his mo tive for telling the truth." JudRP George W. BHt, formerly of the Spokane county superior court, thus expressed himself against. .Indtre Wood's recommendation for mercy in passing sentence on the confessed as sassin of former Gov. Frank Sietinen bersr, adding: "I am unable to see that Orchard is entitled to any particular credit for telling the truth. He had been revel iiiR in crime for years, leavinir a bloody trail behind him. and when at last the Jaw laid hold of him it was but natural that he should believe the state had evidence against him which he could rot escape, and, besides, it is claimed that before he confessed ho was led to believe that the men who had em ployed him for his bloody work had abandoned him to his fate. 1 have pity and sympathy for the man, who In the heat of passion kills another, but the hired assassin is beyond the pale of human compassion. No man's life is safe so long as there are men in the world who will kill for a fee." THREW CHILD AT M HUSBAND Dismayed Husband Undertook Trust. Fort Wayne. Intl.. April 4. John ('.

His wife is suing for divorce, but that is the least of his troubles, ac cording to her complaint, which alleg es he deserted her and their 2-year-old baby four months ago.

Mrs. Keller approached her husband nt the preliminary hearing in court and tossed the child into his arms, saying: "Take your child; I have fed her for four months fin air; now- see what you can do." The dismayed husband undertook the trust as gracefully as possible un der the circumstances and says that, bis experience has been broadened considerably already for that, of a mere man.

Move than $1,000,000 in Confederate curren cy and about $ 4,00l in olil coin and bullion was unearthed by the prong of a plow on I?ret Knox's farm, near here, by the planter, who had just taken the reins of the mule in hand in an effort to show a negro hand how to "ditch" a trough intended to carry the accumu lation of water from the plot of ground in cultivation. The treasure is believed to have or iginally belonged to Samuel I i. Thompson, whose father was promi nent in the Confederate cause during the Civil War. hut, as there are no heirs, Knox will retain possession un less a claim is made. The Confederate bills were mostly of $.", $10 and $20 denomination, and were so mildewed from age that they fell to fragments when handled. No tree, post or other means of locating the buried treasure was visible, hiu it is said that ered by tree the spot was thickly co s during war times. Ths Cave Dwtliers of Italy.

If Mrs. Cooke ever obtains a divorce we will be married i before the law. Mrs. Cooke was an obst iele in our way and we had to get around her. We have done so. and the only thing we could now ask of her is that she should make it possible for us to be married and take our place in the world as we would like to.

April 4. -Is the big wheat farm about to be lost to the great Northwest '.- is a question that is being asked over and over again by men in a!! stations of life in this sec tion. A feeling seems to be getting ho'.d of tl.e farmers and the larger bus iness men that wheat growing in. large tracts and in 'arire quantities by one man is nearly a thing of the past. The discussion of this matter has been brought about at this time par ticularly by the proposed establish ment of a big packing plant in the West by the Swifi interests, and the avowed intention of these well known meat packers to establish a stock-raising business all over tlie Western states wherever hog and cattle raising can be carried on successfully. it is conceded by men who have spent their lives in the West that there is a won derful future to live stock business when once a home market is provided for all the products of the fields and farms of a great stretch of country hitherto given to grain production or '.eft in a wild state valueless to any body, t The new order of things will bring r.bout a close settlement of the coun try and the cutting ud of farms into small tracts where families, can make homes and build up communities of va'ti" to thf state and to the nation. As the result of this, vast acreages of wheat will be iuiyoiiiU. Highest Courts, the 7s - tlAYARD W. FELT. GIRL SUES FOR LOSS OF LIMBS She Asks $50,000 of Penn sylvania Railroad.

A man of wealth quietly coming in search of his sweet heart of ears before, w hom he found an inmate of the Delaware Counts' Inhrniary, a wedding and a joous departure for the home of the groom in the sunny South, such was the culmination of the romance of John Gwinner of Florida anil Mrs. Kleanora Part low.

"A picturesque village of hotels anCi villas grouped upon the skie of a hill descending in a semicircle to the sea. with pines and eucalyptus woods above and palms everywhere tielow and with a climate noticeably warmer than that of Lisbon." This surely might be a description one's id?al winter re sort. If so, it is an ideal easily realized. The name Riviera is now so generally applied to certain portions of the French and Italian littoral that the pos sibility of the existence of other RI vieras is apt to be overlooked; but, in the opinion of many travelers, tbe Ri viera of France and Italy is outclassed by the Riviera of Portugal, which is briefly descrilwd in the above quota tion. This Portuguese Riviera is situ ated at the mouth of the river Tagus nnd Is known as Mont' Estoril. Its po sition, completely protected on the north and east from cold winds by a high range of hills and open to the sea on the west and south, makes it just the place to ppend a winter, and it Is easily accessible from England. The thermometer through the whiter montbs shows, it is claimed, a mean standard of eight to ten degrees higher at Nice. London News. Stranger This village boasts of a band, doesn't it?

Yours and Ours Wc supply to your children just as good food aS ve demand for our children. We know that the wheat should be steam-cooked for six hours. So we do that. Each berry should then be flaked so thin that the full oven heat gets to the center. Then a fierce heat must be applied to break down the granules of starch. So we toast the flakes, for 30 minutes, at 400 degrees. To make Mapl-Flake requires 96 hours. There are many ways where this work could be slighted, and the taste would not show it. Flaked wheat can be made, and is made, in one fourth of the time we' spend on it. We could sell you the package for 10 cents in stead of 15 cents, if we made those economies. But we would not give half -cooked wheat to our children, so we don't to yours. We know that starch, unless properly cooked, is insoluble. The particles are not separated so the digestive juices can get to them. So we spend 96 hours to get a food that's all food, all digestible. And we flavor it with pure maple syrup, so that the food which is best for the child will be the food that it wants. This flavor is expensive, of course, for we boil the pure maple syrup with the wheat when we cook it. But a child chooses food largely by taste. It is wise, for all concerned, to thus induce the child to eat the food it should have. Mapl-Plake is the only wheat food which entirely digests. Our long process does all that is necessary. We use it in our homes. Please try it in yours. The only food ervi1 In individual packe in hotels, clubs, cafes, and on dmiof cars.
