The Drop"

"Have you any idea how fast man
could shoot pistol in the border
days?" said J. w Delany, a Montana
rauchmau, as he continued the|serisl
yarn he had been spinning for the Bat
tonholer.
"A man who couldn't pun a trigger
so fast that you couldn't distinguish
between the successive shots was SLOW.

sounded like one long report. Aud

Kill you before you could shoot if you

Colorado, killed Sheriff Harrity i'm Dem
YER Hamilton had been wanted for
several Killings and was dead shy.
When he turned a corner bed walk

"One day he was in a hurry. how

looked square into a Winchester held
by Harrity.
"'Wel, Doc, l got YOU says Har-

Too Sure.

1t is sometimes a fault of young peo-
pie TO rely too fully upon their own
opinions or impressions and there are
grown people who are quite too sure
regarding matters to which they have
given little attention. A passenger on
a French steamer tells this story;
The wind was fresh and we were
running at the rate Of twelve knots an
hour. Our mariners were deceived in
their calculations and, as the lead did
not indicate the proximity of the coast
they We're expected TO approach, they
concluded that the currents had car

ri0r merit, who nevertheless displayed
sometimes too much of the confidence
of youth, replied with a smile: Those
breakers captain, are nowhere but in
your glass"
Young man" said our old captain
with a tone of anger, "yOu are major

THE HUMAN MOUTH.
r.. EXPIRES sion Gives a Valuable Key to
Its Pnsse>Snr's Character.

The next time you are on a street
car or in a crowd notice attentively
the faces of those about YOU and see if
am not right in saving the expires
sion of the mouth gives You the KEY TO
the whole character.
you will find the women better sub
iects than the men. In the latter mus
iaches adroitly conceal much that
mirht otherwise mar a good-looking
face. for it is true that very few
mouths wear the graceful curves ma
tre cast them in Take the woman
who sat opposite you tonight. She
was beautifully dressed. but how YOU
pitied the people who have to live with
6er. for every time the car gave a
lurch or some one rubbed against her
she scowled in the face of the poor an
fortunate beside her as if he were pre-
sumably responsible for the discom-
forts she suffered, aud YOU shuddered
to think what that woman's face would
be were the coffee cold or the cakes
white. You secretly adored the gra-
cious looking woman sitting next the
door. who caught all the draughts and
was crowded and iostled bv every
passer, but still maintained that rem
tie equilibrium so delightful to look
upon.
Yes. l know it requires immense
courage and fortitude to look cheerful
when your dainty patent tips are be-
ing rulhlessly trodden on. but there is
your chance to be truly heroic: besides.
if you allow yourself to be annoyed and
show il, some one is sure to observe it,
and it may be he himself.
Study yourselves, if YOU will, some
day when the whole world seems cloud
ed, from the day outside to the do
nestle atmosphere inside, when the

self, Does the reflection please you9
How quickly you pull mp the corners
of the mouth (you didn't know Won
could look so ugly), for most of us, no
matter how readily we inhict discon-

Deadly Jokes.

What could be better, for example,
than the speech of the country mem
Der at Albany-an lrishpan, too

sons from taking their own lives?
Il move that it be made capital
offense," exclaimed the member quite
seriously "No man or woman would
attempt suicide a second time if pun
ished in that way"
And syet the very same kind of
bluuder had been made long before
by member Of parliament in Lon
Sir Richard Steele, while present at
"A conversation among Engiishmen
about Irish bulls, was asked how 10
account for the fact of their wonderful
frequency.

perhaps the climate has something to
do with it. | imagine that if an Eng
lishmau was born i'm Ireland. he, too,
would make Irish bulls
One popularity about the bulls near

quality and in that respect far superior
and more enjoyable than the uncon-
sclous humor of the Anglo-Saxou.

English mayor who, in congratulating
Queen Elizabeth over the destruction
OF the Spanish Armada remarked:

What the city Council Did.

The City Council met last evening
and paid bills to the amount of
1919. 16-$579 IL of which was for light
for the past month.
Mr.. Phipps as purchasing agent,
reported that he had bought the doors
for a vault to the city hall, but Coun-
Gilman Giles opposed the improvement
and favored renting quarters for the
Council in the county's stone building.
The matter awaits report OF committee
on plans for vault.
City Attorney Linn stated that the
new law changed compensation of the
Treasurer to IA stated salary and re-
commended the Council to fix the
amount soon as possible.
Same officer reported that after
careful examination of the new laws
he was forced to believe that the only
duties remaining for the City Assessor
to perform were those concerning
special assessments and such duties as
are prescribed by ordinance under
them.
Councilman Giles favored by resolu-
ton to eXempting from taxation all
manufacturing enterprises located
within the corporate limits for ten
years, and requesting the City Attorney
to formulate some plan by which the
constitutional inhibition could he
avoided. Referred to Judiciary Com
mittee.
Thanks were rendered Mayor
Robinson and Attorney Linn for the
efficient manner in which they had
defended the suits against the city for
damages.
A petition was received from resi-
dents of the southern part OF the city
for host-cart and alarm box. Re
ferred.
Mr.. TalcOtt Was granted leave OF
absence for six or eight weeks.
A resolution for construction of
sidewalk on Garcelon street passed.
The City Clerk submitted his
quarterly statement which was re-
ferred.
An ordinance relating to water rates
was read and referred.

School Bon d Election.

The election for expression of opin.
ion on school bonds, last Saturday
brought out more than full vote on
Westside, but very little interest was
taken in the matter elsewhere. The
total number of votes cast was 56S
about one-half OF which came from
across Long bridge. The result as
tabulated stood: For sale of school
sites, yes 4OS, no 148; to purchase
school site, yes 40, no 1879; to build
school house, yes 434, no l2l; bonds,
yes, 405, no l52.
The election was held in the Board
of Trade room, Columbia hall, J. C.
Rathbun and john V. Yantis, act
ing as Judges, and Joseph Chilberg as
Clerk.
As usual, there is now a disposition
to :" kick" on the part of some of those
who did not take enough interest in
the matter to vote, and who, if they
had responded to the notice would
have given legal expression to the very
general opinion that absolutely no
further Indebtedness should be i'll.
CURED until times are better and
money more plentiful. We have but
little patience with such people.
They dodge responsibility or neglect
opportunity and then, when it is too
late, begin warfare upon measures that
have chad their day in court" and
upon which verdict has been rem
dered by their more energetic neigh
bors.
AS usual, quite enough blunders

QUITE SEVERE. - The equinOctial
storm of the past few days was quite
severe and exceedingly disagreeable
but passed away without causing
damage.
COMMENCEMENT Buckner
of the Olympia Collegiate Institute
says the school is making preparations
for commencement exercises, which
will take place May 10th.
ADJoURNED.-The County Commits.
siOners have adjourned to May l.
Their chief work during the session
just ended was to cut down claims
against the county and gather up
information about poor farms.
JUDGMENT REvERsED.-TheS Supreme
Court yesterday reversed the judg-
ment of the Thurston county Superior
Court in the case Of Joseph NJ. Lam
mon and wife vs.. C. NJ. Austin, ap.
pellant. This was an action to FORE
close mortgage upon real estate in
which a controversy arose over at
torneys' fees.
GONE TO OREGoN.-H. C. Atwell,
who lately sold his property on Seven
tenth and Franklin streets for 50 500,
has left for Oregon, and will take up
his abode ON fruit ranch near Port
land, where he will remain during the
summer. In the fall he will probably
move to Portland and resume the
practice OF law.
NOTHING But SHADows.-It seems
that the shadows in the Superior
Court room fall upon tine light shades
in such a way as to create the impress
zion that they have not been cleaned.
This has led to uncomplimentary COM
ments upon the work of the janitors.
An inspection shows that the globes
are perfectly clean and what appeared
to be smoke upon the glass was moth
ing but shadows.
EPwoRTH LEAGCEs.-Arrangem
are being made for the Puget Sound
Conference Of Epworth Leagues,
which will be held in Olympia May
22d, Odd and oath. A splendid
programme has been prepared. in
which well known Christian workers
will participate.
