THOUGHT HE HAD A BARGAIN

But Found That He Had Been
Duped by a Slick Pcddler.
Yesterday afternoon roaming ped
dler, who had been making the
rounds of West Commerce and adj
joining streets with mis- bundle of no
tions which he offered for sale,
entered q grocery store near the Inter
national depot and dumped his
case of goods on the counter.
He tried several of the clerks, offering
one dozen handkerchiefs for one dol
lars. but they didn't want any. He
made the offer of two dozen, three
dozen, four dozen, five dozen all for
one dollar, but the clerks said it was
no go.
"Vhell I'll dell you vat dos, here
yes five dozen hankerchiefs, and one
for your wife, one noder for your
moder In law, one for"
II won't give fifty cents.
for the whole outfit" the clerk inter-
posed. The peddler gave it up and
packed up his goods. Just then q
milk man entered. The peddler eyed
the man and with an eight inch smile
addressed him: Zach, mein gut
freund, here vos beeg bargain for
you. One dudzen handkerchief for one
halef dullar. What do you say?"
But the milk man shook his head.
The peddler pulled out what evident
ly was second dozen 'kerchiefs, but
still the milk man refused.
The peddler made it three dozen, and
as there was still no bargain, as last
resort he pulled out another bunch of
the goods with the words, "Here mine
friend vas tree dudzen and one. half
of desc fine -" The milkman had
been looking QUIT for this, and snatched
the oppor tunity. He gave the man his
fifty cents, ana, showing the goods in
the hands of the milkman, he depart
ed with malicious twinkle in his
eye.
"There's bargain for you," said
the buyer, as he drew forth the hand
kerchiefs to count them. He run
over their number three or four times,
each time more excited and hurriedly
than the other. At last he gasped,
'The Internal scamp. I'm sold this
time, I've only got dozen after
ALL" and the milkman hurriedly
mounted his cart, asking three or
four passersby If they had seen q
peddle pass down their way.

latter is o knockabout ut the theatre,
heavy and well muscled and well up

training. In the first bout, he lifted
Lee and threw him, as many said,
two points down, winning the fall,
but Mr.. Charlton, referee, declared in
the negative and after a
few more twists, etc., he gave up and
allowed Lee to throw him. Uhl is q

more training and wind, but last
night he could hardly have held ON
for o second fall.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Decidedly

Fairhaven herald. [volume] (Fairhaven, Wash.) 1890-????, 1891-08-14
WASHINGTON AT BOSTON

The Boston Herald Of a late date
contained an article about a column
in length, which very ably presented
many Of the valuable features of our
state, and presented by facts and fig.
ures, statements that must open the
eyes OF many Of the readers OF that
paper who have not quit speaking Of
this state as the TERRITORY of Wash
ington. One OF the paragraphs from
the Herald article says: Although
the latitude of Washington places the
greater part OF the state considerably
north OF the northern frontier of
Maine, the temperature of the
country west OF the Rocky noun
tains; tempered as IL is by
the japanese current which cor
responds TO our gulf stream. gives to
the country temperature no colder,
on the average, than the group of
what were formerly termed the Mid
die states on the Atlantic seaboard.
With these numerous advantages
there seems TO be little reason to
doubt that the state of Washington is
destined to be, I'm the near future, one
of the wealthiest and most important
OF American cOmmOnwealths; and
although it is not likely that its min
eral products will materially influence
trade or manufacture on the Atlantic
seaboard, its merchants and manufac-
tuners will probably gain control in
these respects Of the markets Of the
extreme western part Of this country.
and are likely, in a generation or so
more, TO exercise preponderating in
iluence in the markets of all of those
countries which border on, the Pacific
ocean"
The portion Of the paragraph which
alludes TO our climate is somewhat
misleading, but that is a very natural
error 10 persons who have not re-
mained here year to witness and ex-
perience the phases OF the weather
during the four seasons. The fact is
that in Western Washington, that por-
ton of the state specially affected by
the Japan current, we never have
weather in winter that so
much as approaches the average
winter weather Of the Middle states.
The temperature seldom gets
so low as zero, and in fact 20 degrees
above Is considered very cold weather
even here in Fdirhaven, within TWEEN
ty-miles Of the northern line Of the
state. Intense heat, such prevails
during the summer months in the
Middle states, is unknown, and we be-
lieve the hottest weather recorded
here during this summer, so far, has
been about 80 degrees and we have
had this only for two or three hours
during two or three days.
As to the matter of commercial in |
Aaence that the Herald predicts as
liable TO come within the next genera
tion or two, that will come in a far
greater degree than mentioned within |
a decade or two.

D"D way VI 't""f"S news III England.
News parcels" are neither collected MOI
delivered by railway companies, which, as
matter of fact, care very little about
them. Messengers are employed by the
news agencies to take them to the London
termini, and messengers from the newspa
per offices await the arrival of the train by
which they are carried. This is the gen.
eral practice. No doubt there are excep-
tions-indeed, one is known to the writer
certain newspaper, whose Office Is stu
ated near railway station, has a standing
rule which provides that the person who
delivers news parcel shall receive two,
pence. This being so, porters, as may be
imagined, always find time to carry to its
destination the news as it arrives.
Reporters and local correspondents also
send great deal of news by means of train
parcels-often news of interest to those
whom it Immediately concerns, and yet not
of sufficient value to justify its being sent
by telegraph. Some large weeklies receive
at the week end forty or fifty news parcels,
containing anything from three lines to
three columns of copy"

FOR MOSQUITOES

IL has been claimed that there are
no mosquitoes in this country, but
within the past sew days and since the
late rains these Jersey birds have been
sending in their bills to an annoying
extent. The st. Joe Herald prints,
editorially, the following cure-or
rather kill-for them:
The mosquito DEVELOPS from the
wriggler in standing water. A table
spoonful of coal oil will spread over
quite a large surface OF water and the
wrigglers die when confined in water
whose surface is covered with film of
the oil. Whenever the source or chan
mel OF the water is known, IL barrel

to the surface to be coveredD be al
lowed TO trickic into the water as il

the wrigglers and prevent the female
insect from depositing her eggs. A
small amount OF oil
will spread over vast extent Of
standing water. This applies only TO
standing water.

The Lynching of a Priest

SnohomiSh Eye: Nearly all the Eyes
exchanges have commented in one way or
another on the tarand feathering incl
dent which occurred in Snohomish last
week. Some of them condemn it in un-
measured terms, in doing which, not fully
graSping the situation, they are quite eX-
cHsable. But what would these people
do? As general thing, when a mob take
in hand the business Of regulating the
morals OF community, they make a botch
of 1T, and commit offenses worse than the
ones they seek TO punish or prevent, or
they volunteer to redress wrongs with
which the law is quite competent TO d al.
Neither happened in this instance. In
the first place the punishment was emf
nently appropriate to the crime; and in
the second place, there is no adequate law
governing the case. Citizens had their
choice between practically maintaining a
public nuisance and abolishing it. They
took the latter course, and, all things con-
Sidered, 1t was not an unwise one.
