QUEER RESTAURANT SIGNS.

If stranger arriving at the Park
Square Station, Boston, should betake
himself to the restaurant across the
square on the corner of Pleasant street,
he would perhaps be surprised, if not
astonished, as he gazed at the numerous
placards painted in heavy, black let
ters, which almost completely cover the
walls of the room.
Could it be possible that he was right
in Boston, with the state house and
Beacon street in sight, and Oliver Wen
dell Holmes, like our flag, "still in
sight?"
1t seemed more like Chicago or Den
yer
The Proprietor is Crank,
Govern Yourselves Accordingly,
one of the signs reads.
If this is so that individual has GER
tainly a rather humorous streak in his
composition, or he would not have in
dited the following signs:
"Do not examine the Bill of Fare for
ten minutes and then order
BEANS"
Or this one:
'No Napkins served with 5-cent orders.
SEEr'
The young women who do the wait
ing on the tables are fairly good look
ing and modest in appearance, but old
and young admirers are warned against
flirting with them by the following i'm
pressive sign:
"Do not try to Mash the Walters.
They are Ladies. -
If appetite and good digestion wait
ON cheerfulness and laughter, these signs
perhaps have beneficial effect, even if
they do seem little crude for Boston,
and that may be their design by the
proprietor, who evidently has a long
head, with no loose wheels or screws in
it, Here is what he says of himself on
another placard over the cashiers desk:
1.-THE proprietor is blind, deaf and dumb,
Buys nothing, trys nothing,
"Gives away nothing"
"KEEPS A DOG"
More of the signs read: "We do not
cater to cranks and kickers.'
"If you find fault don t patronize us. u
"The walters are human-none per,
fect.'
''Do not expect Parker House fare al
our prices"
"When you feel like kicking, just
don't" IN. E. Grocer.

RUNNING AND HURDLING.

When you read about the track ath-
letic teams of the different colleges
you know that the runners, hurdlers,
jumpers, bicycle riders and shot and
hammer throwers are all included un-
der this general head. As the running
is really the most important part Of
the sports, the track or cinder path has
given the name to the lot. ''Track
athletics should be most interesting to
boys, more so than rowing or football.
There is no such special build or
strength required to become prominent
in these contests as with an oar or foot
ball, and any boy with average health
and strength has good chance of win
ming medals if he is willing to work
and keep at it,
The greatest runners have been of all
shapes and sizes, and there is no rule
whatever about height or weight. AS
rule, small men, without much mus
Gle, have proved the fastest runners for
what are called middle and long dis
tances and among the champion sprint
ers you can find every weight and de-
gree of strength. The qualities needed
are a good sound heart and lungs, a
fairly strong body without much extra
flesh, and plenty of endurance and pa
tience. OF course, in sprinting, quick
ness and nervous force are needed as
we'll. Running is becoming more pop
ular among school boys all the time,
because only these average qualities are
demanded. and the InterscholaStic
League in New York makes record,
which many college teams would con-
slider creditable.

reunyson,s Dislike of Anecdotes.

1t is curious bit of the irony Of fate
that there should now be rife 80 many
tales and anecdotes of Tennyson. No
man ever disliked such things more
than he. Seldom could he be induced
to read or to listen to personal incidents
of other great men. 1t was not that he
felt no interest in them. But the deli
cacy of his nature was supersensitive,
and he shrank from looking into the
private lives of others, just as he had a
horror of others looking into his own
life. Yet half of the literature about
the laureate consists of anecdotes, and
of these large proportion relates to
that very dislike of publicity.

LIE income tax springs from
Socialism. It seems that its pro-
ceeds are to be used in repeating a
great abuse of Republican legisla-
tion. As the Democratic platform
of 1883 said, "Every Democratic
rule of governmental action is vio-
lated when through unnecessary
taxation vast sum of money, far
beyond the needs of an economical
administration; is drawn from the
people and the channels of trade,
and Accumulated as a demoraliz-
ing surplus in the national treas
nrX.p In the. words of the same
platform "all unnecessary taxation
is unjust taxation" The same
platform estimated the Republican
surplus at more than $6O,OOO,OOO a
year, a sum not in excess of what
the Democratic surplus will be if
the impertations increase and only
less than twice the Democratic
surplus estimated at the smallest
figures. "Debauched by this i'm
mense temptation" continues the
platform of 1883, sthe remedy of
the Rshablican party is to meet
and exhaust by extravagant ap-
ptopriations and expenditures,
whether constitutional or not, the
accumulatiOns of extrayagant tax
ation. The Democratic remedy is
to. enforce, frugality in public ex-
pense and abolish needless taxa
tion."' While the tariff doctrine of
1888 has been superseded by that of
1892, the duty of avoiding needless
taxation and furnishing economi-
cal legislation and administration
is an essential and original princi-
pie Of the Democracy, principle
that may be violated but cannot be
superseded. The income tax is
simply q surplus breeder and an
extfavagahcst breeder. Every
Democratic senator who votes for
the income tax bill votes for un-
necessary taxation, for surplus, for
wkstSful andextravRgant admins.
, tsation{ Gut Off this excrescence
Down with this $3.50, 100000 worth
of needless taxes. The Democratic
party should be ashamed to filch q
taxing principle from the Populists
and the surplus principle from the
Republicans. The Democratic par
ty looks good deal better and
more honest on Its own PLATFORM

Home Fruit Supply.

1t may seem strange, but it is a
fact that this state does not raise
enough fruit for the use of it's own
citizens. This should not be so but
it is. TO those that know of the won.
drous yields of fruit here, this should
seem even more astonishing than to
others who have only heard of ou1
fruit and look upon the accounts OF
the mommoth yields as being con-
slderably "watered." Yet it is true
thatno portion of the temperate zone
Is more admirably suited to the Gull
tnre OF fruit than Western Washing
Ton. Prune crops very rarely yield a
crop OF less than $500 an acre, and in
some instances have yielded $500. APP
pies and pears are not surpassed any
where, while cherries are crop that
has no equal elsewhere and frequently
yield from $25 to $40 per tree. Straw
berries, 5000 to 5000 per acre. Raise
more fruit.-Toledo Tidings.

for the Governors reasons for his dis
missal, he has begun an action at law
against Judge Burk's pOsitiOn-and
this will thoroughly ventilate the
causes which led to the removal; and
if they are not just and sufficient, he
will be thoroughly vindicated in the
eyes of the public. However, Judge
Burke thoroughly canvassed the sit
uation before accepting the position,
and feels sure that McReavy's efforts
will be futile; but the commission have
concluded to delay the work until the
case is settled
Latest advices, as we so to press

Towns Must Be Made.

"A great many people have an idea
that towns grow because necessity
for them exists. They think it makes
no difference what steps are taken to
DO ON town, the place will grow if
its natural advantages are sufficiently
attractive and men can make some
thing by living there. The fact of the
matter is, most towns are made, and
they do not grow. They are built up
through the energetic efforts of tn e
people who desire to see town push
on. Take fifty small towns, and two
or three of these will, in time, become
large and important places, while the
others move along in the same old rut.
The town that goes ahead is driven
forward by it's citizens. The men of a
town see that line of road will bene-
fit them, and the road is built; they
mark that a bridge is needed to draw
trade, and the bridge is constructed.
They observe that wooden mill, flour
mill or a cannery has proved a draw
ing card in some other town, and they
subscribe money and have one of their
own. A newspaper is a necessity and
money is raised to start one. A churc h
or school house is needed or will
draw more people, and the building is
soon erected. In this manner the town
is constantly forced onward. Look
the state over, this portion at least,
and see, if you had d few thousands
where you would place it. Would it
be in towns where no money is spent
in advertising, in booming, in build
ing up and driving forward? No,
indeed, you would go to the locality
where the business men are wide
awake, alert, full of drive, push and
energy. So we say town is made.
1t does not grow on it's own accord,
but it is built by the we'll directed eff
forts of it's leading citizens.-Skagit

Waiting on Supreme Court.

OLYMPIA, Feb. 20.-The capitol
commission did not meet today as an
nounced, it having been thought best
to defer further sessions of the COM
mission until final disposition of the
legal proceedings to be brought by
McReavy. While neither the COVER
nor nor Judge Burke has any doubt
that the board as now constituted
could lawfully proceed with the bust
ness of the commission, they prefer
that the courts should pass upon the
matter before proceeding further. Quo
warranto proceedings will probably be
commenced in the superior court of
this county tomorrow by McReavy,
and the matter will reach the supreme
court for final decision by the first of
next week. This manner of proceed
ing has been practically agreed upon
by the attorneys representing each
side.-O.-T.
