What yann Tells About the Visit at the
Poor House Only Yesterday.

What Vann Tells About the Visit at the
Poor House Only Yesterday.
Father Stokes and Uncle Henry Reams,
as a committee in the interest of the
states census bureau, visited the poor
and work house yesterday; after trans
acting the business in hand, they partOOk
of a lavish spread of watermelOns, kindly
donated by the county. We, in a wild,
hilarious moment, bet a dollar that Uncle
Henry could get away with more Of the
juicy fruit, in a given length of time,
than Father Stokes would. The wager
was promptly accepted, and then the
gleeful contest began. In just ten minutes
the limit agreed upon-Father Stokes
had put himself on the outside of six 90
cally cleaning up the wreck of the fifth
victim.
We lost our bet, you see misplaced
confdence-but not the fun, by a jug
full.
About five minutes after the race ended
the superintendent, Mr.. Leigh, was called
upon to cut the waist-band of friend
Stokes Pantz-COlonel FairbrOther will
pardon us-a difficult job, by the way, as
the band" in question had buried itself
seven inches beneath the surrounding rO-
tundity. During the excitement incident
to this calamitous event, Uncle Henry
slipped off round the kitchen, and when
found was sweetly sleeping, s%prawling
upon his back, with both legs hanging
across a saw buck.
The superintendent, with the aid of
two prisoners and Colonel Bucket, after
taking the wheels off the buggy, got the
boys into the vehicle and sent them on
their way rejoicing. Another unfortu-
nate visit from the trio will inevitably
bankrupt the county in the melon line
so it is to be hoped those gentlemen will
defer their next call till along about
Christmas. l.. ID. NANN.

IN AN OLD
She sits upon the worn old grave,

She sits upon the worn old grave,
And gayly uses as a pillow
The battered headstone, rudely carved
With funeral urn and weeping willow.
Tie epitaph she puzzles out,
With words and laughter light and mock

Displaying well a dainty shoe,
And quite an inch of siIken stocking.
She tests about the curious name.
The verses with quaint old phrases laden;
And yet-what if in future years
Some saucy Twentieth century maiden
Upon a summer afternoon
An ancient cemetery choosing
Should firt upon her grave, and think
II all 50 jolly and amusing:

Little leakages in the kitchen run

is the little leakagcs which make the
big river of large expenditure. You
don't know how many leaks you may
cut off by buying your groceries at
the right place. If you don't cut off
any at all, you will at least have the
satisfaction Of knowing that you are
not paying a penny more than you
ought to pay, and that for what you
pay you get the best that a posi-
bly, be had. We cannot recall a
season when there has been a more
abundant supply Of flour than there
is now, and when quality was higher

The chief Of police Of Seattle has been noti-
fed of the arrest.
The story printed above has some foundation
in fact. but is unreliable in several par
ticulars. The mother died from the
effect of burns received. She was living in
rooms over john E. Goods brass
foundry on Jackson street and Railroad
avenue at the time. Mr.. Good was
very kind to her during several days that she
lived after being burned, and undertook the care
OF the boy after she died. Mr. Good is
q responsible business man and has the reputa-
ton of being a good citizen. Those who
know him will not believe tho story
told by Mrs. Gibbs that his motives
in taking the boy were purely mcrce-
nary. Several days ago the PosT-INrEL-
GENCER became aware that q woman
from Seattle had been arrested in Denver
charged with the abduction of . child from
Seattle The police at that time denied any
knowledge of the case. It is probable that they
know nothing of II. The dispatch was not re-
ceived until o'clock this morning, at too late
an hour for Mr.. Good to be seen.

being very foggy and the preceding night dark
