SIGNIFICANCE OF THE WORD WAD.
Some of Its Various Meanings ns Explained
 by MT. Gratebar.


 ''I rather like the word wad," said MT. Gratebar. "I suppose that in its oom- honest significance it would apply to al- most any mussed up bunch of stuff-a handkerchief, for instance, gathered up loosely and pressed together in the hollow of the hands as one would round a snow ball. would be wad A bank note would be in wad if it were all rumpled and rolled up in bunch. A number of bills jumbled and rumpled and twisted up to. gether any way would be described as rolled up in a regular wad.
 While the word thus conveys primari- ly the idea of disorder, if not confusion, it has in some of it's applications to money other and very different meanings. In an account of a highway robbery wo might read The robbers got away with his wad' Here wad would refer to the con- tents of the victims purse, and it would apply alike to Si or S1, 900 or to S2. 50, It would mean tho sum of the victims pos sessions in money whatever it might be.
 "Another wad would be the wad refer red to when we say: The colonel offered to back his opinion with the hard cash. He got out his wad and proceeded to strip SEQ bills from the back of it, saying that he'-, and so on. This wad must be about as big around as n middling sized tum- bier, or nearly so. It Is not imperative that the bills should be all of large de- nomination. Wads have been known that had wrappers of fifties and filters of ones, but bulk is essential.
 "I once read of wad of this sort that was said to be as big around as a stove- pipe. Perhaps something of the size of this wad was due to a somewhat forid style of description, but would not lessen it by single bill. A wad of that size is pleasant to dwell upon. '-New York Sun.

If all those who would have been in
terested in the exercises of the pupils of
Miss Hollister and Miss Rowe had been
present this morning, no room in this
town would have held them. The pro-
gram consisted of singing by the pupils,
led by Miss Hollister. recitations, with
some very pretty character sketches,
showing admirable training by the eff
cient teachers. The most marked one
was song by a little girl in blue
dress, "When the little children Sleep"
and was very gratifying. Itwas prettily
and modestly sung and with an absence
of that straining for loud noise, which
uhhappily marks SO much children's
singing, but which is the error of their
Instructors, rather than OF themselves.

pleasant party last evening at their spac-
ious home in honor of Miss Gwilt of
Portland, who has been visiting. several
days in The Dalles. A number of young
people were invited who passed the
evening hours amid much merriment.
The entertainment was quite novel as 1t
called into play the artistic abilities of
those who we're present and some of the
drawings executed would take high rank
as caricatures. At the close, guesses
were made as to what the different draw
ings were intended to represent. Miss
Rose Michel received the prize as the
one who guessed the most correctly.
Dainty refreshments were served and at
a late hour the guests departed. Those
present besides the host and hostess and
Miss Gwilt, were Alma Schmidt, Laura
