OLYMPIA, Aug. ll-WOrd was re-
ceiyed here today, by a private letter,
from Washington that Senator Squire
has been seriously considering the ac-
ceptance OF the Chinese mission, which
has been rendered to him by Prcsi-

Senator Squire will return 10 the

In that case, IL is believed that Gov

Squire, but will call an extra session
OF the legislature.

A Little Boys Reply.

For precocity. irrepressibility and
too often depravity. Young America"
in these present days scarcely can be
surpassed. Here is an illustration: A
little chap, not yet s years old. whose
parents live on one of the fashionable
avenues, went, last week, to pay visit
to his grandmother in Yonkers. While
there in Tummaging through his
grandmother's secretary, he came
across silver 50-cent piece, and very
shortly afterward he was on his way
down town 10 invest his find
He expended the whole amount for
peanuts and, upon his return, was en-
ioying them in the privacy of his
chamber, when his grandmother put
in an appearance.
why, Robbie" she exclaimed, TAX
ing in the situation, "where on earth
did you get all those peanuts?n
Bought EN-" was the reply.
But where did you get the money!"
"A gentleman l met over on War
burton avenue gave it to me-"
Robbie, | don't believe YOU are
telling me the TRUTH" slowly said the
old lady. looking her grandson in the
eyes. In fact l am sure you are tell
ing me falsehood. A little bird tells
me that you are"
The boy looked at her with a some
what incredulous expression.
Now come. Robbie, tell me where
YOU got that money!"
We'll. why don't you ask your
dckey bird9" was the reply of the bad
boy.

Every time the Lord makes a woman
he changer the pattern.
Were two people ever in love with
each other after they were thoroughly
acquainted?
Put one bad man among seven good
men and at the end of month you
have one good man among seven bad
ones.
Although the people are all after
money how they hate another man who
has it,
When the heart overbalances the
head you have Il fool; when the head
overbalances the heart you have vii
lain.
There is no dependence to be placed
on the promise made in necessity.
Help a man out of ditch and if he
does not pay YOU while the mud is still
wet on his clothes he will never do it.
Let half a dozen gosSips get to talk
ing and when they separate they i'm
agine that the noise they made about
their own ears was made by the world,
and give it as the opinion of the world.
You can make a woman cry any day
by telling her Il pathetic story of
trouble afar off, who will shut her eyes,
ears, and heart to the case of poverty
next door.
Give the average man three days
work to be done in three days, and he
will boast the first day, loaf the second,
and show the amount of work he has
to do to prove that he is worked to
death on the third.
A man with his pleasures is very
much like small boy with his jam;
',e spreads it so thick on the first slice
that the last slice is left without any.
Win a mans friendship by telling
him today that he is the smartest one
in his family, and you will have to tell
him tomorrow that he is the smartest
man in town, and the next day that he
is the smartest man in the state.
When man makes up his mind that
it is time to repent, he also makes up
his mind that there is time for one
more sin before beginning.
How easily Il man whips an enemy
in aplay!
Some of the men who boast that they
are self-made lift an awful responsible
ity from the shoulders of God.
A man can lift heavier burden than
woman, but woman can carry a
heavy burden longer.

HERE seems to be no doubt that
Scully will contest the seat of Hennessy
the member elect from North Kilkenny.
He is gathering evidence of the interfer-
ence of priests with voters, and will pre-
sent all the facts to parliment for its final
decision. There can be no doubt that
the Irish clergy acted with the best in
tentlons though it is equally probable
they went too far. The Irish clergy have
always been patriotic, very much de-
voted to their people and have made
heavy sacrifices iu their behalf. They al.
ways act for what they think is the best
and because of their influence can prac-
tically control elections.
1t is possible that English liberals may
not take kindly to the demands of the
Irish party should the north Kilkenny
election prove that the influence of the
clergy is all-powerful in election matters
The fact that Parnell is not Catholic
and that the clergy of that faith opposed
him may lead to the re-opening Of relig.
ious conflict. something which Ireland has
reason to dread.
There IS suspicion that Rome is Cd.
posed to Irish home rule, largely because
the reduction of Irish representation in
the national parliament consequent up.
on home rule, would greatly lessen the
power of Catholics in that body. One
thing is certain, Ireland has never had the
sympathy of Rome in any movement de-
signed to secure autonomy. But it is
hardly credible that the Irish hierarchy
would join in a movement to defeat home
rule. Though this is charged and the
address of the Bishops urging the peo-
pie to oppose Parnell is cited as proof.
Whatever the feeling of Rome towards
Ireland, archbishops Walsh and Croke
have proved themselves patriots in the
past and their part in the late election
was well meant though it may have been
indiscreet.

TattOoing n Fair Ankle.

A handsome daughter of a family
living in the vicinity of Ohio avenue
left home some months ago. ostensibly
on a visit to friends IN a distant State.
Her stay was protracted, and in her
letters home she described the good
time she was having in the society of
her lady friends. She returned re-
Gently and the secret of her escapades
would probably never have been di-
vulged had not an accident revealed it..
On the second day after her arrival
her mother had occasion to enter the
Young lady's room while she was still
asleep. The fond mothers eye rested
with loving glance on her sleeping
ciild. Suddenly she uttered scream,
and before the fair sleeper was fully
conscious, clutched the girls foot and
fixed her gaze Oh the well-turned
ankle. She almost fell into a faint.
for on that shapely member the girls
initials were tattooed in bright red
India ink. 1t is believed that plausi-
BILE explanation was given. but the
secret lies between mother and
daughter and the artist in that distant
State.

PRoF. Virchow. one of the most cele-
brated scientists of Europe has dared to
protest against the too early adoption
of DIR. Koch's cure. The Prof. maintains
that it is at best only an experiment, and
that twoyears of trial should be given 1T
before pronouncing it satisfactory. The
Prof is probably right, but he has OF late
manifested considerable opposition to
theories generally recognized as true by
eeminent scientific men. Only two years
ago he startled the scientific world by at
tempting to shatter the Darwinian theory
of evolution which he himself had pre-
viously adopted and lectured upon for
years. His recantation was however
complete. Yet it is not to be inferred
that he is an obstructionist; his great
experience has taught him to be cautious,
and in the present instance he is probab-
" as sanguine as Prof. Koch who has
certainly made no bid for the exodus of
physicians to Berlin.

Whistling Dogs in the OIympics

covered there:
One night we camped near Sent nel
Rock, about mile from the divide
This rock stands boldly out alone, like
massive fortress, guarding the en-
trance to the valley of the Dungeness.
Suddenly the mountain sides seemed
to be alive with men whstling to one
another, when-and one would turn
sharp around only to hear another and
a shriller whew on the other side; and
soon we saw lots of animals, about the
size of 4 fox, with long, bushy tails,
running about from rock to rock.
sometimes lying down. but more often
sitting bolt up, erect, like ferret does.
We shot couple of small ones that
night and afterwards shot several more
larger ones.
Campbell called them whiStling dogs,
and declared they were good to eat;
but the smell was enough for us. Their
odor is peculiar, but not fragrant. They
have two long teeth in front like a
beaver and feet almost shaped like
squirrels feet. | believe their right
name is mountain beaver, Wherever
we went afterward to the mountains
as long rs there was grass we saw
these whistling dogs, as we got to call
them. l like TO see them; they seemed
to make the place cheerful aud lively,
and were very amusing to watch. In
winter they have long burrows under
the snow, and their coats get a dark
gray; in summer they are yellow.
Their skins should make good fur. and
| think would pay for being trapped in
winter months.
