TAKES NO STOCK IN IT-The editor
of the WaLa Walla Journal and Watch
man systematically ridicules the silly
report, about the alleged haunted
house in this city, and believes it TO be
the plain results OF sour or over
loaded stomach. In his journal he
AYERS: "For sixty nights have we, in
company with the Hon. H. H. Hun
gate, during legislative session, cccu-
pied the very apartments and never
saw as much az n shadow of a ghost.
The only night We felt little uncom-
Portable, was when Mr.. Hungate set up
the oyster supper and our kind land
LADY treated her worthy guests to an
extra mince pie, filed with raisins and
stepped in currant juice" That, no
doubt, is the size of it, and people, who
in this enlightened age believe in
ghosts and kindred trash, are usually
pretty light in the upper story, or else
are in the habit of retiring with q full
stomach.

was anxious to repress, unless the re-
suit of his investigations warranted
different course. He seems to be
man OF fine intelligence, and We ven-
ture to say that instead of disparaging
the reports that have awakened the
interest of his people, he will find that
the whole truth has not heen told of
our wonderful country, its equable
climate, its remarkable fertility for
almost all varieties of products, its
splendid timber, its productive mines,
the bright prospect of its undeveloped
fisheries, its freedom from cyclones,
pestilence and pests. When he is
convinced We believe he will say so,
and return to his home one of the best
of aids we have yet received for rapid
advancement.

right curve will call attention to q

becoming to women than are their own
hats. Why? Simply because the lines
of mems hats are pronounced, un-

metrical. They establish a pleasing
harmony of lines in the face beneath
them at once. Women's hats are crowd
ed with furbelows aud srenzies. They
are dainty things to look at, and may,
through being light and airy and in

a determined expression upon her
countenance and an aggressive air gen.

Western railroad train, writes a CORES
pondent. We had just left small,
dreary-looking little town in Kansas,
when the old lady turned around and
asked, THE next stations b, amt
it?"
"Yes," 1 replied.
II git off there" said the old lady,
and having begun her condolences, she
continued:
"Yes, I'm going out there to live with
my daughter Harriet-that is, if we
kin git along together"
You see, L been staying awhile out
in Ohio with my son Hiram, but me
and his wife never could git along in
this world, never Aint it awful how
extravagant young folks are nowadays?
1t wasn't so when 1 was young"
"The times are different" L said
"That's no excuse for a woman throw
ing away whole half-loaves of bread, is
it 2" she asked, sharply, and when L
made no reply, she went on:
"And that's just what my sons wife,
Ellen, did. Then she uses whole egg
ev'ry morning for clearin coffee, when
anybody knows that the yeller or the
white alone will do. I've often cleared
it with the shell alone, and / have
made it without any egg at all, and it
didn't pizen us.
L still kept silence, for my sympathy
was with the sons wife, and the old
lady persisted with her complaints.
Another thing she takes good but

spreads ii on beefsteak after it's cooked.
Think of that And she makes her
gingerbread out of half sugar, instead
of all molasses, which is good enough
for anybody 1t was Just waste, waste,
waste in that house! 1 expect TO see
the whole family in the pore-house yit,
and told my sons wife so every day 1
was there.
What did she say?"
"Not word. She never minded me,
but kept right on. So l left, and il
Harriet carries on like that, I'll leave
her, too
