AS evidence of the rapid growth and
development of eastern Washington,
the Cheney Sentinel cites the fact that
during the month of May the N. p.
land Office in that place sold ST. 900 in

A correspondent. describ- ing the picture, says: .'On dais sits a king holding sceptre and robed in white. On each side of him sits acouncilc., and behind them six soldiers under arms. The king IS leaning over the front of the dais toward a woman in green robe, who kneels before him with disheveled hair and outstretohed hands. In the center is a three-legged table. like a butchers block. upon which lies an infant, who IS held in recumbent position. in spite of his struggles, by woman wear ing a urban. \ soldier in armor. and wearing helmet with long red plume, holding the legs of the infant, and Is about to eleave it in two with his falchion.

Beating a Conductor.

4 passenger going west from Detroi by rail the other day had pass to Chi cago. When the conductor took It up hs asked several questions to satisfy himsel that the pass had not been transferred and the holder of the paste-board dldnl lake ii as good naturedly as some men would. He didn't have much 10 say, but he was determined on revenge. As soon as the conductor left the car the man changed seats, removed his linen duster took off his hat, and looked like differ ent person altogether. After the train eft the next station the conductor came along, with an eye out for new passengers, and presently reached out for the holder of the pass.
 'sl haven't got any ticket" was the surly reply.
 :. Then you must pay your fare
 :. l won't do it "
 See here. said the conductor. as he began 10 wake up. you must aither pay your fare or produce q ticket. lfnoi. I'll drop you on the road :"
 Drop and be hanged -
 The train was not stopped. but after a run of ten minutes Il reached Il station and arrangements were made for boanc- ing the man. When all was complete he showed his pass.
 Why didn't you ;eli me you had pass!"
 Why didn, you ask me :" shouted the traveller.
 Well. don, like such fooling..
 Nor either.
 The train went on, and the man put on his dustcr. traded hats with passenger. and again looked like some one else. He hanged his seat to the front and waa seemingly sound asleep when the con" duetor had occasion to pass through. He ,ook two fares and then held out his hand to the traveller. There was no response. He shook the sleeper gently but the atter slept on. Then he shook him good and stout and called ticket in his ear. How dare you shake me around in ;hls manner :" shouted the man IS he woke and stood up.
 Ticket please .''
 But don't please, How dare you come to me every tune the train leaves a station :''
 The conductor looked down the aisle and thought he &saw the man with the pass in his old seat and sad to the other:
 Come, ST. don't bother me want your ticket =
 ou can't have II -
 Then I'll put you oti. ,.'
 He reached fof the bell-ropc. bgl, see fig a general .sfln all around the eat. he stopped and looked more closely at the nan and rceesnlle,. him as the ene with he pass.
