and its work during the past year, Pres
ident Parker notes two points which are
OF interest to all the residents of Yakima
and the state. One is that the terms OF
two of the commissioners expire in April,
and their successors will have to be APP
pointed by the governor. Yakima
should look to it that her interests shall
be subserved by the successors of Messrs
John X. Patton and John r. Reavis.
Two good men are needed, and men of a
certain character and familiarity with
certain departments. How would Ezra
heeker, of Puyallup, do for one? and
would not DIR. Blalock, of Walla Walla,
be good choice for the other?
President Parker's second point is to
the effect that the commission should be
allowed an amendment to the original
bill by the next legislature which will
give the members OF the board the right
to postpone or advance the date of the
fairs OF each year in accordance with ia
vorable or unlavorable conditions, in
stead of being compelled to give the an
nual III Getting at specific time-the last
week IN September. President Parker's
idea is that the hop pickers' jubilee could
thus be made a feature Of each fair, in
stead of being permitted to become q
counter though after attraction. If the
fair itself could lie held just after each
hop picking season had ended it would
be more OF a financial success.
The last matter will probably be
brought up by Representative Milroy early
in the coming session. The first cannot
be settled until April, bnt recommends
tons might be prepared by interested
parties, to be forwarded to the governor
at the proper time.

They met an old old Arab
He was toothless. wrinkled, gray.
They met him in the desert
And asked of him the way

In his language; hut he broke
And they couldn't understand him
For, GUM-Arabic he spoke.

A Chestnut Light.

A simple and economical substi-
tute for night light may be pre-
pared in the following way: Take
some good sized chestnuts of irregu-
lar form, and with the aid of an or
binary needle riddle them with fine
holes. Then soak them in oil for ~
hours. To convert a chestnut thus
prepared into a night light you have
but to bore hole in it, but not quite
through it, and fill the space with
cotton threads to form wick. Set
it in a glass of water, on which it
will float. If you light it at night
on retiring, you may count on its
lasting until morning. The only
precaution necessary to take is to
make sure that the chestnut will
maintain its upright position in the
water. It's therefore well to choose
one of irregular shape and to make
it float before placing the wick, i'll
order to determine the exact point
at which the latter should be in
serted, so that there may be no dan
ger of its touching the water.-Once

There are few lovers of the turf
who have not some memory of the
great race between Longfellow and
Harry Bassett ut Monmouth park,
away back in the seventies. 1t was
probably the greatest turf event in
the history of America, and hundreds
of thousands of dollars changed hands
ON the result. A fact which isknown
to very few people, however, is that
the jockey who rode Longfellow in
the celebrated race is now a police
man ON the Cincinnati force. His
name is John Samples, and he is run
ming a beat in the Central district.
He was one of the first colored Off
GERS on the force. When he rode the
celebrated race, he weighed 11S

BY The SEA.

AS II sparkling danced meath sunny sky.
The warm sweet wind just touched my cheek,
And sighed thatromance had passed me by

Tilla sudden sight made my pulses bound,
For aliittle way from my rocky nook
Was an open parasol, low on the ground.
sTwas large and white and Of india silk.
Its top tilted down was my vis-a-vis.
But guessed its lining-such shaded rose
AS paints the murmnring shells OF the sea.
iBeneath on tho earth spread a soft gray rug.
The fringe Of shawl could also note,
and trailing outside Of the parasol disk
Was bit of O lace trimmed petticoat.
sDfy heart heat high with expectant hope
Shall find my romance here by the scar
While life endures will fancy repeat
TIE memories tender of white pongee.

into that shape that crawls was con-
centrated In that hoarse, whistling
hiss-a hiss that was cold and pierre
ing like an icicle made sound. TWAS
not loud, but had in it some sort of
penetrating quality that cut through
the waves of hol.rid sounds about us
as the snake carved prov of viking
galley might havecut its way through
the tumbling eddies of tide rip.
At the second repetition the lion
paused. None better than they
knew what was the meaning of that
hiss. They had heard it before in
their native hunting grounds in the
earlier days of summer, when the
first heat lay close over all the jun
gle like the hollow of the palm of an
angry god. Or if they themselves
had not heard it their sires before
them had, and the fear of the thing
bred into their bones suddenly leaped
to life at the sound and gripped them
and held them close.
When for third time the sound
sung and shrilled in their ears, their
heads drew between their shoulders,
their great eyes grew small and
glittering, the hackles rose and stiff
ened on their backs, their tails
dropped, and they backed slowly to
the farther side of the cage and cow
cred there, whining and beaten.
Toppan wiped the sweat from the
inside of his hands and went into the
cage with the keepers and gathered
up the painting, broken body, with
its twitching fingers and dead, white
face and ears, and carried it out. AS
they lifted it, the handful of pitiful
medals dropped from the shredded
gray coat and ratified down upon the
floor. In the silence that had now
succeeded it, it was about the only
sound one heard.
AS we sat that evening on the porch
of Toppan's house, in a fashionable
suburb of the city, he said, for the
third time, II had that trick from q
Mpongwee headman," and added,
1T was while l was at Victoria falls,
waiting to cross the Kalahari desert"
Then he continued, his eyes grow
ing keener and his manner changing:
''There is some interesting work to
be done in that quarter by some one.
You see, the Kalahari runs like this"
he drew the lines on the ground
with his cane-''coming down in
something like this shape from the
Orange river to about the twentieth
parallel south. The aneroid gives its
average elevation about 600 feet.

a theory that the Kalahari is no des-

plateau, with higher ground on the

and that's the. Bantu for rivers upon
rivers. They're nasty, though, these
Bantu, and gave us lot of trouble.

His wife Victoria came out on the
porch in evening dress.
