Howard, Governor Wilson on Saturday last closed another chapter In one of the most noted criminal cases in the history of this state, In which people all over the United States have formally expressed their Interest by signing petitions for" pardon. In the closing days of January, eight years ago, while the contest of Villiam Goebel for the guberantorlal seat was held held, Goebel was shot, dying later from his wounds. The shot came from a half-opewindow of the secretary of states office, and as Caleb Powers was then filling that position, suspicion was at once toward him and his arrest followed. Four times has Powers been put on trial for his life on the charge of complicity In the murder, the first three trials resulting in conviction and sentence, deh being the penalty in two trials. Howard was also convicted on a charge of complicity. Powers announces that as soon as he regains his health he will resume the practice of law at his home town, Barboursville, Kv, The great Kaw-Mi- s souri flood, which has almost reached Its crest, drew hundreds of thousands of sightseers to the bluffs overlooking the flooded bottoms on Sunday.

Emily waited tremblingly, her hands fluttering with excitement; she had to hold one with the other to prevent herself from snatching the enveloping wrappings from the box. Matilda shook the dust-paInto the stove and put the broom away before she began to untie the package. Well, shes done It up well enough," she said, grudgingly, as she took off the layers of stiff paper. Matilda slowly unwound the last paper and held up the gift. It was an enormous orange-coloresilk lampshade, made over an umbrella-shapeform, voluminously flounced with tumbled lace, with a huge bunch of yellow and crimson roses with overblown petals on one side. Its edges were a little frayed and the ribs of the frame slightly soiled. Emily clasped her hands and gasped d d sheer delight Oh, how beautiful, how beautiful! she whispered. For us! For us! Her sense of unworthiness of such a gift overwhelmed her. Matilda turned upon her fiercely. Yes, for us! she repeated, bitterly, In for us!

Just like sunshine! She held her outspread hands over the shade as though to warm them. The chill, stiff room with Its brown ingrain carpet and horsehair furniture, its oval photographs and dingy wall paper, all spoke of an existence sparse and bare. Suddenly Matilda snorted with contempt both of gift and giver and tossed the shade recklessly on the table.

She held the shade close to her cheek. She could almost feel the glowing warmth of Its Intense color. Lovely, lovely and for us! she murmured, softly. Her cup of happiness held but a thimbleful, and now It overflowed. When Matilda returned, the shade was suspended uncertainly by the kerosene small of the lamp chimney which stood on the table; its flounces lay sweeping the marble top.

BY SINGER SEWING MACHINE CO. No. 97 North Academy Avenue, rilOVO, UTAH John Jackson, Mgr. One Pupil In New York Acted aa the Family Bank. Where do school children get all the money they take to school? was asked a New York teacher who was worrying over the frequent thefts from the pupils In her room. I dont know, she said. The situation la puzzling. It Is a fact that almost every child brings money to Bchool. Many of them have only a cent to buy a doughnut or a stick of candy, but others carry surprisingly large sums. Not long ago the charges of theft were so frequent in my room that I tried to stop this universal carrying of money. I asked the mothers not to give their children money during school hours, except In cases where It was really needed to buy luncheon. Many of them promised to cut off the allowance, but the small coins continued to circulate just the same. A few mothers declared that they gave the children money for safe I learned that one girl In keeping. my class came to school day after day with from $20 to $30 pinned In her clothes. The father spent everything he could lay his hands on, and as the little girls garments were the only place where he could never find the money she was converted Into the family bank. The plan seemed to work, so far as the spendthrift father was concernod, but it worried the teacher. New Law Offices. The new law offices of State Representative Harry J.

They have about 50 or 60 kid gloves at the ticket office down at Union station, gray suedes, undressed kids every old kind. But the trouble Is that among them all there Is not one pair. They are all odd gloves, mostly lefts. You see most men carry their pockets, and money In their when they're buying railroad tickets, they take off the left glove. Then when they go away and leave the glove the boys In the ticket office are no better off than It they had left nothing behind but an air of mystery.
