Ar the memorial exercises Friday,
some of the audience stood up to get a
better view of the proceedings, thereby
shutting out those in the rear. This ex-
cited consideral indignation, and re
quest was finally made from the stage
that those standing should take their
seats. The request was needed by all
but one woman, who evidently was
there TO assert her own will and TO see
tho proceedings whether anybody else
did or not. "Sit down. shouted half a
dozen people. Tho woman shrugged
one of her shoulders contcmptuously.
"Win you sit DOWN. repeated an Irish
man, with a good deal more en-
phasis than courtesy. The woman
shrugged her other shoulder.
"Why don't you sit down z
asked the indignant home'rilcr, In a.
tone OF intense disgust The statue Of
liberty held her ground and shrugged
both shoulders. Then the lrishman
told her sho ought to be put out "i ou
are no gentleman snapped the won.
an. And you are no lady" retorted
her annoyer. THIS was interesting for
the aud fence, but not az all pleasing TO
the speaker, who was trying to address
them. The people laughed, the stub
born woman turned red, and the Irish
man said something that increased her
annoyance. "lf you don't quit insult
ing me-" she exclaimed, "lll have you
taken up "lf you'll. take yourself
down. was the rejoinder, I'VE could see
something back here" Then the crowd
laughed some more, the speaker on the
stand became embarrassed, aud tho
woman tossed her head ia contempt.

SOME parents are so unreasonable that
when they send their sons 10 college
they expect them to behave like gentle
men, anu to pass their time In study, or
at least in innocent recreation. But
when their SONS 20 East they soon learn
to eschew such old fogy ideas, and en-
tertain themselves, like the students Mt
the Michigan university, in free fights
with circus men. Now, out here in the
''rowdy West We are not up with the
times, II would seem, since you never
hear Of aur college boys displaying such
pretty spirit. When tho circus comes
to town the boys who turn out show
none of those energetic qualities for
which the Eastern college boys are so
famous. They pay their way into the
theaters, do not guy the performance,
and on their way home after the en-.
tertainmcnt never indulge In any OF
those playful antics for which the East
cru collegian has become so famous. In
fact, our college boys in the "rowdy
West are too gentlemauly to dis
tinguish themselves as young rutiians.

TmE postmaster at palouse City is
said to be a defaulter, and the reasons
assigned arc careessness, whisky and
cards. Small wonder that man with
such combination of bad habits should
go wrong. The surprise would have
been permissible II he had come out
all straight. When one reflects upon
tho difficulty that attends success in
life, even when man is thodical,
and eschews cards and drink, the won-
der is that so many men are able to in
dulge in those luxurles and pass through
life without becoming either defauliers
or bankrupts. Another object lesson
