WALLA WALLA, Feb. 18.-At an

ploying or patronizing Cinnamon
are hereby Informed that unless
they stop so doing within two weeks
from the date of this notice, they
will cease to, receive the support OF

Walla." They caused consider
able excitement, though the
public sentiment all seemed of a
condemnatory character. The fact
of the existence of such society
with sufficient strength to threaten
boycott had not been suspected,
and so little was known that even
the leading spirits of the society
were identified. A little investiga-
ton proved that the president of
the society was Levi Kidwell, while
those prominent in the movement
are County School Superintendent
j. b. Gehr and r. r. Modrell,
builder and contractor. A saloon
keeper member being interviewed
stated that the society had 800 mem
bers, and intended to force the Chi
nese out by means of the boycott,
and expect to be society for politi-
cal purposes. The general opinion
is that the effort will not amount to

Open Door Fiends.

There are two occasions that are
usually improved by the leave-the.
door-open man. One is when he comes
in with the intention of going out
again; the other when he goes out in.
tending to come right back again. Il
isn't because it is any particular trouble
to close the door; it is the human in.
stinct of providing the ready means OF
escape, of safety. The first thing a
burglar does when he enters house or
bank is to see that everything is clear
for sudden exit. The wise general al
ways plans the method of retreat and
leaves an opening for getting away in
case the battle goes against him. The
willy savage and even wild animals
have the same instinct. When man
enters your Office and leaves the door
ajar he is doing just what any other
animal would do-providing for the
possible contingency of@being kicked
out This contingency is little more
remote than the comfort of society
would seem to warrant.-N. Y. Herald

WIT, OR IMPERTINENCE7
The Thoughtless Speech That Carries a
Sting With 1t.

The Thoughtless Speech That Carries q
Sting With 1t. CO
Nobody denies that it is delightful to
be bright, to be able to make clever
speeches; but it sometimes is Just as
dangerous to be brilliant as it is to be
stupid. The girl who can always give
a witty answer, who can always make
remark that is suited to the occasion
is the girl who is apt to be very much
applauded, and the consequence is she
begins to think she can say anything
she pleases, and that the world about
her will believe that she is to be prais-
ed always. Then she grows to mistake
impertinence for wit. Her heart hard
ems little and she does not hesitate
to make jest of somebody's misfor-
tune, to see fun in misery, and
to count old age as special butt
for her sharp tongue. She does not
do this inten tionally, and, as the time
always comes when she is sorry for it,
want to give her little word of advice.
1t is very hard to resist the bright
thought-that is, to resist giving words
to it. but it is a great deal better not to
say anything for which you will be
sorry after. In so many homes the
bright members of the family get into
the habit of chatting the other ones;
and father and, too often, mother will
laugh. Many laugh will provoke a
shower of tears. Now, the time is GO
ing to come when that chatting will de-
generate into a daily rudeness, when
the shy girl will grow shyer and less
fond of her sister, and when the boy
who happens to be a little awkward
and little bashful will be happiest
when his sister is away from home.
Here comes the warning Before you
say what seems to you brilliant, think
out which it is-wit or impertinence?-

UNDER THE SNOW.

Under the cnow the sweet flowers,
Ch1ldren OF summer and fall,
with their mother-plants lie sleeping,
Walting for spring times recall.
Inc cold winter rain is falling
LUse tears on their snowy bed
AYd the one smiling face of nature
Is frozen, and pallid, and dead.
Sadly we miss the rich beauty
Of these blossoms from sunshine born;
Anc we long for their quick returning,
The desolate fields to adorn
But when the May sun is shining
Gay blooms and sweet fragrance to bring
we forget the burial of winter
In the resurrection of spring.
So under the snow we bury
The fondest hopes of our lives;
Forever to wait and to slumber,
I'LL the last Judgment day arrives.
1t znay be wife or husband,
father or mother most dear,
A beloved sister or brother,
little one, smiling and fair.
Sorely we grieved at the absence
or the cherished one lost to sight
And the sunshine bright of our gladness
Folds into the blackness of night.
Our bitterest tears are falling,
Melting the snow on the grave;
And the blessings we have remaining
Bring not the comfort we crave.
But our streaming eyes are lifted
Upward, beyond this worlds gloom
And we see the Star of Hope gliding
The darkness drear of the tomb.
1t tells us to wait and be patient;
In the Garden of Joy above,
Our transplanted flowers are blooming,
In the sunshine fair Of Gods love.
