repeating. During the recess Messrs.

ing, ard boarding the craft from
which the sound OF the whistle had
proceeded, Fred. Stine, who acted as
spokesman for the party, eDquired
"How soon the steamer would start
for Olympia 2" The answer came
back-"This yere sap-nliH don't
run to Olympia !" Just at this time
the Walls Walla Solons beat hasty
retreat, but not fast enough to avoid
hearing the shouts of laughter that
came from the twenty or thirty lum
bermen that we're at work 10 the mill.
At 6rst the victims tried to keep the
sell quiet, but gradually it leaked
out, and now all that Is necessary
to False q laugh is to ask-"Who It
was that proposed to make the tour
