An Apology.

A man who has reputation for be-
ing very careless as to his toilet was
elected town clerk in one of the small
towns In this State some time ago, and
the local paper thought 1t would be a
good joke to announce that
"Mr. Makeup will wash himself be.
fore he assumes the office OF town
clerk"
On reading the notice Mr.. Makeup
was furious, and demanded a retrac.
ton, which the paper accordingly made
the following day, in this fashion,;
"Mr. Makeup requests us to deny that
he will wash himself before he assumes
the office of town clerk"
And still Mr.. Makeup was not pleas.

WHEN THE COWS COME HOME.
With klingle, klangle, klingle,
Way down the dusty dingle,


Way down the dusty dingle,
The cows are coming home
Now sweet and clear, and faint and low,
The airy twinklings come and go,
Like chimings from some far-off tower,
Or patterings of an April shower
That makes the daisies grow;
Ko-kling, ko-klang, ko klinklelingle,
Way down the darkening dingle
The cows are coming home;
And old-time friends, and twilight plays,
And starry nights and sunny days
Come trooping up the misty ways
When the cows come home.
With Jingle, jingle, jingle,
Soft sounds that sweetly mingle,
The cows are coming home;
Malvine, and Pearl, and Florime,
DeKamp, Redrose, and Gretchen Schell,
Queen Bess, and Slyph, and Spungled
Sue
Across the fields l hear her loo-oo,
And clang her silver bell;
Go-ling, go-lang, go-linglelingle;
With faint far sounds that mingle,
The cows come slowly home;
And mother-songs of long-gone years,
And baby joys, and childish tears,
And youthful hopes, and youthful fears,
When the cows come home.
With ringle, rangle, ringle,
BY twos and threes and single,
The cows are coming home;
Through the violet air we see the town,
And the summer sun a-slipping down;
The maple in the hazel glade
Throws down the path longer shade,
And the hills are growing brown;
To-ring, to-rang, to-ringlelingle,
By threes and fours and single
The cows come slowly home;
The same sweet sound of wordless psalm,
The same sweet June-day rest and calm,
The same sweet scent of bud and balm,
When the cows come home.
With tinkle, tankle, tinkle,
Through fern and periwinkle,
The cows are coming home;
A-lotering in the checkered stream,
Where the sun-rays glance and gleam,
Starine, Peachboom, and Phoebe Phyl.
lis
Stand knee-deep in the creamy lilies
In a drowsy dream;
To-link, to-link, to-linklelinkle,
Ger banks with buttercups a-twinkle
The cows come slowly home;
And ue through Memory's deep ravine
Come the brooks old song and its old-time
sheen,
And the crescent of the silver Queen,
When the cows come home.
With a klingle, klangle, klingle,
With loo-oo, and moo-oo, and jingle
The cows are coming home;
And over there on Merlin Hill
Hear the plaintive cry of the whip-poor.
WILL
The dewdrops lie on the tangled vines,
And over the poplars Venus shines,
And over the silent MILL
Ko-ling, ko-lang, ko-linglelngle,
With ting-a-ling and jingle
The cows come slowly home;
Let down the bars; let in the train
OF long, gone songs, and flowers and rain
For dear old times come back again
When the cows come home.

SOME POINTED QUESTIONS.

They Were Put to American Travellers by
the Viceroy of China.
When Mr. Allen and Mr.. Sachtleben
reached Tien Tsin, after their long bicy-
Gle ride from Constantinople across
Asia, they had a protracted interview
with the viceroy-Li Hung Chang-the
man whom Gen. Grant included among
the three greatest statesmen of his day.
He asked the young American travellers
a multitude of questions about the
countries they had ridden through, and
at last came down to personalities. The
following were few of his inquiries:
ssAbout how much did the trip cost
you?"
'sDo you expect to get back all or
more than you spent?"
ssWill you write book?"
ibid you find any gold or silver de-
posits on your route?"
ssDo YOU like the Chinese diet?"
ssHow much did one meal cost you?"
ssHow old are you?"
ssAre you married."
ssWhat is the trade or profession OF
your parents?"
do they own much land?"
ssAre you democrats or republicans?
Twill you run for any political office
in American"
do you expect ever to get into con-
gress?"
do you have to buy Offices in Amer
ica?"
The young men hesitateda little over
this last question, and the viceroy was
good enough to say that they would be.
come so well known as the result OF
their long journey that they might get
into Office without paying for it. You
are both young" he added, land may
hope for anything"

Boisterous language, the playful

result of whiskey, are becoming too
frequent in town, and some of those
who are prone to indulge are becom.
ing rather too careless. The marshal
should require better order to be kept,
and take every straggler in off the

if the saloons were closed at midnight,
and if they would also refuse to sell

joint to their normal position. The in

Sheriff Van de Vanter, of King
county, is having an unusual run of
bad luck. First he was defeated for
reelection, then his splendid country
home at Kent was totally destroyed by
fire, also all it's contents, entai1ing a
loss of about $4,000 with little insur-
ance, and then his fine farm was flood
ed, the water sweeping his fences away
and doing other damage.
The town creeks rose about as high
as the water usually gets last week,
and the bridges across the Colds
borough were in some danger from log
jams. At the Dunbar bridge the creek
started cutting and took about twenty
feet of land from the E1iab Dunbar
place, coming quite close to the house.
Several piles were washed from the
bridge and temporary supports were
arranged. The jams at the railroad,
9TH and LIST street bridges were cleared
away without damaging them.

Observations in the Superlative.-
The hen that cackles loudest
Doesn't lay the largest eggs:
The mule that kicks the hardest
Hasn't got the neatest legs;
The waves that toss the widest
Ale not of the deepest sea;
The fruit that is the sweetest
Isn't on the tallest tree;
The dog whose bark is fiercest
Doesn't always know the most;
And the man that is the bravest
Isn't always on the boast.

HOOD CANAL, Nov. 16, 1896.

HOOD CANAL, Nov. 10, 1896.
Died at the Providence Hospital, Sc
| attic, Nov. 5, J. L. D. Amor, aged
65 years. He was born in Portugal,
and was known by many as s'Portu-
guese Joe. He came on the Canal
about sixteen years ago with sioop
from which he sold things to the set
tiers. About 1885 he entered into
partnership with Andrew Balm, which
was dissolved in about year, when
he entered into another with M. S.
Bittencourt which lasted until 1885,
At that time they built floating store
which they placed in the Skokomish
river opposite the agency, where it
still rem aims. Mr.. Bittencourt tended
the store and Mr. Amor still ran his
sloop and did so for several years after
the partnership was dissolved, employ
ing clerks to keep the store. About
three years ago he found himself hard
1y able to manage the s1oop during all
the storms, so remained at the store.
His health has been failing for the
past year, when about two months he
went to Seattle for medical treatment.
He leaves sister in Portugal and a |
brother in Brazil.
The heavy rains last week with the
warm weather Friday which melted
the snow on the mountains, raised the |
Skokomish river very high, higher |
than ever before in twenty-five years
except two years ago it was two or |
three inches higher. From Wednes- |
day noon until Saturday noon eleven |
and sixty one hundredths inches of |
rain fell, five and thirty one hun
dredths being in the twenty-four hours. |
Thus far we have heard of compare |
lively little damage being done except |
tn at some of the piles and one of the |
bulk heads put in month ago to guard |
the Skokomish bridge came out. The
bridge still stands.
Messrs Simpson and Nance brought |
about two hundred thousand feet of |
their logs down the Dewatto to the |
bay, during the recent freshet. Unex-
pected distractions prevented their |
bringing down the rest, over eight |
hundred thousand feet, but they feel |
quite sure that they will be able to
bring the rest down without forming
into an impossible jam.
