Our road ut first lay across u fiat

coarse oaks, which keep their leaves all
the year through, and here, by reason
of the great shade we went, not know

were conscious of being ON rough, rising
ground by the jolting of our mules and
the chatter Of their hoofs upon stones !;
but after wearisome long spell of this
business, the trees growing more scat
tered and thin gray light creeping
through, we could make out that we
were all together, which was some com
fort. From these oaks we passed into a
wood of chestnuts, and still going up
and up, but by such devious, unseen
ways that think no man, stranger to
these parts, could pick it out for himself
in broad daylight, we came thence into
a great stretch of pine trees, with great
rocks scattered among them, as if some
mountain had been blown up and fallen
in huge shower of fragments.
And so, still forever toiling and
scrambling upward, we found ourselves
about o'clock, as | should judge by
the light beyond the trees and upon the

campaign laid out like carpet under

forest side horrid stark ravine with a
cascade Of water laundering down in its
midst, and peak rising beyond, covered
with snow, which glittered in the sun.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the incan.
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the Office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have a complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

So being in our saddles forth we set

living thing for succor if one fell, but
only sharp, jagged rocks, and that

mules must cock their ears and feel their

gravity But turning to Moll, he
stretches out his hand toward the plain

And now we began the descent, which
was actually more perilous than the as
cent, but we made light Of it, being
very much enlivened by the high noun

Imported Song Birds Thrive.

Inquiry has been received by The
Spokesman Review concerning the re-
suit of an experiment made few years
ago with European singing birds in Ore
gon. Several hundred were brought over
and released in the vicinity of Port
land, with the hope that they would
thrive and multiply and enliven the for
ests with their inspiring notes. Includ-
ed in the collection were specimens of
the skylark, nightingale, thrush and
mavis. The experiment has proved a
pleasing success. The imported songsters
have spread over wide area, and oc-
casionally few have been seen east of
the Cascade mountains. The climate is
favorable and the citizens of German
birth, who raised the purse to introduce
the songsters of the fatherland, say the
little strangers sing as sweetly here as
in the land across the sea. Spokane

asked if they would sell three stamps.

wer. He slowly went down into
his pocket an drew out a dime, and
said he would take three stamps.
The clerk laid out the five cents in
change and then handed the man two
two cent and one one-cent stamp.
The stranger looked at the stamps
and then at the clerk; slowly gather
ed up his purchase and stepped away
from the window. Another gentleman
who witnessed the deal, remarked.
''That fellow was evidently sold; he
didn't say anything, but he looked

THE COLLEGE COUSIN.

In two of the leather. seated chairs
before the big window of the hote
the Junior and the Sophomore sat side
by side. Each wore large chrys-
anthemum and carried cane deckec
with streamers of ribbon. The rotun
da behind them was filed with rest
less groups of young men, all wear
ing ribbon or carrying flags and al
talking hoarsely and excited!y. The
street in front of the hotel already
filled with the dusk of the early twi-
light, through which the street lamps
seemed spheres of golden haze, wore
much the same look; but with the diff
ference that the groups took the form
of a procession moving along the west
sidewalk. Across the way the shirts
in the window of the Gents Cloth
ing Palace were all of the same color
as the ribbons. The entrance to the
dry goods store further down was
draped with the same shade. Even
the bootblacks and newsboys, perhaps
with view to personal benefit rather
than from any strong affection for
the college, wore knots of the same.
The Sophomore looked out at the
moving crowd and tapped the floor
lightly with his cane.
Great game, wasn't itT he said
hoarsely.
Tie Junior nodded. The fac. that
he had heard the same remark from
the same source q dozen times in the
last Is minutes did not affect his ap.
probation OF it in the least.

the Sophomore.

nior, thoughtfully, i might get lit

To this the Sophomore made no an
swer. He did not feel himself cap
able of conversing on any subject ex.
cept the game.
There were holes in their line that
you could drive an ice wagon through,
he said, in sudden exultation.
i don't drive an icewagon,' said
the Junior, shortly. Then he turned
and looked at the clock above the
desk.
ITS nearly six he said. Lets &C
and get something to eat
The Sophomore glanced at him out
of the corner of his eye, and an in
slant later became immersed in Q
study of the toes of his shoes.
I'm going uptown to dinner he
said, hesitatingly.
'What?' said the Junior.
The Sophomore repeated his state
ment with obvious embarrassment
The Junior looked at him with with
ering scorn.
Didn't you tell me, he said accus'
ingiy, that we'd take dinner together,
go to the theater, and catch the ll:3O
train back?'

IN go with you, said the Junior,
readily.
The Sophomore turned and stole
quietly down the steps.
Il hope no one saw me, he said,
when he reached the bottom.
4 thought that saw a girl looking
out OF the second story window said
the Junior, comfortingly.
u, you go to the deuceP said the
Sophomore.
We'll, perhaps l was mistaken, ;
said the Junior. 1T looked that way,
though. Had you just as lief walk
beside me? When you drop behind
that way it makes me nervous. It's
so easy to hit man over the head
wien he's not looking
1t wouldn't hurt you, growled the
Sophomore.
Well go back to the hotel and
carry out the original programme,
said the Junior.
The Sophomore did not echo his
enthusiasm. Even when he found
himself opposite the Junior at littl Q
white table in the cafe among his
frieds and in the presence of a clam
orous argument about the game, he
did not unbend. But by the tlme
that the oysters came in his face be-
gan to clear.
4 suppose you'll tell this thing all
over college, he said, ruefully.
Its a good thing that they don t
peel these lemons said the Junior.
One would never know what thev
were if it were not for the yellow out
side.'
1T makes me feel pretty mean, said
the Sophomore.
They call these two -by-four mon
strositie blue points on the bill, don't
they, said the Junior
What troubles me most, said the
Sophomore. lis what the dickens the
girl will think of me-.
The Junior lifted an oyster on his
fork and looked at it closely.
Don't worry about that, he said.
I'll fix it all right with her.

half way to his mouth and looked at
lim over the rim in amazement.

a CLASH
Between Rev. Wiitsee and the
Ladies of His Congregation.

Between Rev. Wiitsee and the
Ladies of His Congregation.
A dispatch from Sydney says;
"Quite breeze has been stirred up
in the NJ. II. church, which is the
strongest Protestant congregation in
Sidney. Open warfare has been de-
clared between some of the ladies and
the minister. A few weeks ago the
ladies made arrangements to give a
cantata called "White Snow" for the
benefit of the Ladies Aid society.
Last Sunday, the minister, Rev.
Wiltsee, in his morning sermon, de-
nounced the proposed cantata, giving
as his reason that it really was an
operetta, and was against the rules
of the church. The ladies continued
to perfect the arrangements for the
entertainment. This morning Rev.
Wlltsee again announced the enter
tainment from the pulpit but in
much more forcible language. He
produced copy Of the cantata and

He Was Taken In.

A stranger arrived in town the other
day, and hearing the hotels were crowd
ed, told the cabman to drive him to
some hotel that did not advertise. He
knew there he could get room. The
cabman inquired of fellow Jehu, and
they drove to it. The clerk was asleep,
but they awakened him, and the stran-
ger had his choice Of the best room ON
every floor. There is a moral to this
little, truthful incident as plain as the

gave q scathing review of it. saying
it was a drama In three main points
in it we're love, jealousy and murder.
He then quoted the Methodist dlsci-
pliDe on the subject, saying that the
ladies' could not give the cantata and
remain true members OF the church.
Many Of the ladies declare that they
will give the cantats, Notwithstanding
the preachers objection.
