SheltOn'S Pace.

We read great deal in the papers,
says the Chehalis Nugget, about the
Tacoma idea and the Seattle spirit,
and so forth. Along with them should
be mentioned the Chehalis gait. This
little town has not only weathered the
late storm without a bank suspension
or an important business failure, but
it has kept moving steadily ahead in
the last three years. We think more
people have come in than have gone
away, and we know that no town in
the state has, according to it's size, done
more for good roads, good homes, or
good pay rolls.
We would like to add that Shelton s
pace has not been at all slow along
these lines. No place on the Sound
mas received or is receiving so favorable
a mention from the general public.
Our two big numbering railroads, with
the several hundred lumberman en-
ployed in furnishing the logs, form a
payroll of considerable magnitude, and
with the incidental aid of the fruit and
farming interests have made OF Shelton
substantial town, which cannot re-
trOgrade.

AN exchange tells good story of a
father and mother who were irving to
find names for their twin babies, who
by the way, were girls 1t was decided
that the father must name them.
After casting about and finding no
names that exactly suited him he de-
termined to end the strain on his mind
and named them "Kate and Dupli-
cate" In the course of time another
pair of twins came and they were boys
This was the husbands opportunity to
get even, and he wanted his good wife
to christen the boys. Imagine his
feelings when the mother told him she
had named the boys "Pete and Repeat"

The Dollar Really Wanted.

What we want is a dollar that is
easy to get and hard to let CO. dol

debts and comes back by means of a
string attachment; dollar that
snuggles easy in the socks of John
Smith, but withers like the mama of
old in the safe of railroad president
dollar that will buy some flour while
it buys much whisky and tobacco; a
dollar that is above drawing interest,
and yet will double itself while the
owner sits in the shade and spits at a
crack in the pavement; adollar that
Will circulate without depreciation
will buy shoes for the baby while il
buys fun for man in places where he
can't take his wife; dollar that will
surely repair the waste of sloth, appetite
and bad judgment; dollar that comes
to the craw of a fatherless robin q
dollar that will remove the sentence

Those Tent Caterpillers.

In spite of the agitation of the tent
caterpillar proposition, and in spite of
the fact that there is an ordinance
against allowing these pests to exist,
and in spite of the fact that the coun-
Gil passed resolution instructing the
police to attend to the enforcement of
the ordinance, the pests keep on ac-
cumulating on the old trees in the
city and busily laying foundation
upon which will be found III a year or
two structure that will defiance to
all efforts to get rid of it. 1t seems
as though if no one will see to the en-
forcement of law, the people them
selves would have enough pride to see
that their trees were kept free from
dangerous pests. The trouble is that
most OF those who own such trees
are we'll enough off so that they do
not have to depend upon their fruit
for part of their income, and with the
supreme selfshnese of human nature
they do not care how much damage
they may do their neighbors, some of
whom depend for their daily bread
upon the products of their orchards
which are endangered by the selfish
ness or laziness of these people in
Olympia.
The excuse that they did not know
the trees were affected does not go.
Any one with half an eye can see the
big nests of the tent caterpillar, and
any one with half an ounce of ambi-
ton or public spirit would destroy
them. Between Sixth street and
Eleventh on the lots facing on Frank
lin a reporter for the Olynpian count
ed 36 nests of these caterpillars and
that too while just casually walking
along the sidewalk without any spe-
cial efforts to find the nests. Every
one of these nests must nave thous-
ands OF worms in it, and a little
figuring will show what an enormous
increase there will be on this small
section alone. 1t must be said to the
credit of about two residents near this
street in the section named, that
their trees are free from the pests.
The majority, however, are wilfully

A Startling Statement.

Prof. Cheeky, a medical authority of
Philadelphia, has created consterna-
ton in decent society by saying that
American people use too much SOAP
and water, and that they battle alto
gether too frequently. He makes the
astounding and incredible statement
that bathing with soap and water is 40
per cent. more injurious than anv
other form of stimulation. We short
en- our lives, it seems, by too liberal
application OF soap and water. This.
If they believe it, will be cruel blow
to the philanthropists who have seen
IN the free bath powerful reformatorv
agency. On the other hand. the fact
that a very large portion of tn e human
race prefers to remain extremely dirty
will be less discouraging.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the

way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-

Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and WI IN it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the resr.o, and unless the Inflammation can be

Church and Republic.

Plattsburg, N. Y, Aug. 1S.-The
fourth annual session of the Catholic
summer school closed this evening,
when Rev. John S. Bedford, of Brook
lyn, delivered the sermon. His subject
was The Church and the Republic. y
He said
"The true church must make its
members good citizens. The Catholic
church is the friend of every legitimate
government, but it is Independent OF
any. The church cannot interfere
with the state, BUT she can say that a
law is unjust and that it may not be
be obeyed. In judging the church for
the things done in the middle ages we
must not separate her from the age or
the state of society. Enemies do not
hesitate to say of the church that she
saved Europe, and that she was the
only "model power" of the world. The
church looks upon the American re-
public as good government; she cap
proves" it's constitution; BUT she does
not say that it is an ideal government
She believes that it is possible to con-
ceive a government in which church
and state will remain distinct, and
the influence of religion will be more
felt and its rights more respected
This is the sense of the late encyclical
of Leo XIII to the bishops of the
United States.-P.-I.

We Hope You're Right.

The Whatcom Blade predicts a log

it says we will have "big wages, high

Its reason for its belief is that at pres

a few weeks, have either to decrease
their output or greatly increase their
log supply. There are no reasons te
suppose that the demand for sawn

Hole Out-Scaied the Log.

This one is told by logger, and is
pretty good, whether it is true or fake
Many of the spruce logs are hollow at
the butt and taper rapidly toward the
other end. In scaling these logs the
scaler measures the log and also the
hole; and in a recent experience of
this kind the scaler proved both his
experience and fitness for this import
ant position, by figuring the hole to be
larger than the log, and consequently
the logger owed the mill company the
difference between the size of the LOG
and the hole, instead of having any
thing to his credit. If there is any
such thing as an expert" scaler that
man ought to have the job.-Mon-
tesano Nidette.

Kerosene Emulsion.

Prof. Cook, formerly of Michigan,
but now of Southern California, has
been very successful in using kerosene
emulsion as an insecticide. The follow
ing is his formula:
Dissolve one-eight to one-fourth
pound soap in two quarts of water
Remove from fire and add one pint OF
kerosene. Stir very vigorously, either
by use of egg beaten for small quantity
or force pumpin case oflarge amount.
In the latter case use a small single
opening for nozzle and pump the liquid
back into itself. An emulsion will look
like rich cream and the kerosene will
be permanently mixed. Now add seven
pints of water and it is ready for use.
The application should be made with a
force pump and should be very thor
Ough as it must touch every insect.
