the delightful sunshine, the many varie
ties Of lucious fruit and vegetables, and
to visit the great outside world frequently
6lls his soul with delightful anticipation
There happened to be at the time on
which we write q iar-famed city noted iol
lts grand and stately edi6ces and for the
generous and friendly disposition Of Id
inhabitants. This city is known In Tho
ancient Siwash language as Spokane. Al
this particular time the city Of Spokane
was the MEGA for many hundreds Of pill
grims, whose thist for pleasure and q
desire for knowledge directed them hither.
In this wonderful throng Of pleasure
seekers the Yakimite was first among biz
fellows, having hied himself away from
the lovely Eden Of his adoption; be felt
a. though Q new born liberty had been
guaranteed him. We End him face 10
face with the sOOthe saying clam baker
Of the Sound; with the prophet Of Seattle,
making love to Tacoma" whose win
some eyes spake love again; arm in arm
with his twin sister Ellensburgh, and
best bf all heaPing into the industrial
treasure house Of the great northwest the
grandest display Of fruits, cereals and
vegetable products the earth produces
and many times the great Sheik Of the
industrial palace would smilingly and
encouragingiy say: Good Yakima, thou
hast been faithful to thy trust; thou hast
transformed the desert into a beautiful
and fruitful oasis, and was 1t not for thy
generous gift the grand entrance to my
palace could not possibly have been 90

his departure trom the land OF plenty.
The fakimite being unskilled in the
ways that are dark and tricks that are
vain, little dreamed OF danger as he
watched the white winged messengers
noat 70 the breeze. de thought only Of
the hundreds Of pilgrims who would read
the Joyful news about sunny Yakima.
The rose, however has Its thorn. Alarge
gentleman dressed in blue, with blazing
star on his manly bosom, patted our I'M
suspecting fakimite on the shoulder,
humming gently sweet refrain: Come,
On Come With Me-" However, truth
being mighty will prevail and after
many protestations Of innocence, kind
admonition was administered by the
judge Of the Superior p. O., and our Yak
Unite was permitted to depart in peace.
Notwithstanding his varied expert
ences, the Hakimite takes in the great
city and after feasting on its diversified
and novel surroundings he begins to long
for the sunshine Of bis own beautiful
valley. His scrip being almost exhausted
he happily congratulates himself upon
being the possessor Of q transport TO and
trom the city Of his pilgrimage, across the
great highway known as the Northern
Pacific railway. This passport had been
given him for fewer number Of shekles
than was the custom Of the owners Of the
great highway TO charge, and when the
passport was given him at the outer wall
Of his own city he was instructed to have
