A Sad Case OF Drowning.

Last Friday, Oct. 9Th, Thomas Jackson
WAS drowned at Wallula. He went with
Mr.. Wilson to drive some sheep from
Walla Walla for Mr. Wesley, and they
were fording to an island where the fer
ryman waited for them. Getting into deep
water the young man became confused
and either jumped or fell off the buck
board and was drowned within twenty
feet OF shore. All efforts to resuscitate
were unavailing and on Saturday Robert
Jackson, a brother, went down and
brought the body back, accompanied by
Mr.. S. j. Cameron. who had known the
boys and their family for a long time.
The funeral was on Sunday, attended by
a goodly number of Scotchmen who lent
their sympathy.
The boy had been in America but a
few months, having come to join two
brothers already here. He was q fine
manly lad, and would have prospered
through his industry and ambition, but
for the untimely drowning. His home
was in northwestern Scotland where he
has brothers and sisters.

flames and stiff gale blowing from the
northwest, threatened to spread the flames
to adjoining buildings, especially the old

telephoned the water works to raise the

confine the flames to the inside Of the

wind was successfully done. The fire

with o. A. Fechter, insurance agent, and
was valued at about $500. The building
was added to at various times by Joseph

GLORY OF THE NIGHT

The silver tendril of the stream
Winds through the cavern Of the night.
And, hush! there floats across my dream
A cygmet bathed In pallid light.
The moons cold eyeball stares not down
Upon the wondrous freight It brings.
Hung round its arched neck-a crown
or pearls and silver blazonings.
And while It trails adown the tide,
My senses, smothering meath the gloom
And silence that gulf all beside,
Hail the white glory Of its plume
Hail the clear starlight of each gem
Bound in the frost of times disdain.
A hand grasps at the diadem,
When. sudden, all Is black again.

BEAUTY TREATMENT
Nicola Tesla's Method Of Rejuvenatfng
the Skin

Women all over the country have been
much interested by published state
ments that Nicola Tesla, the famous
electrician, has interested himself in
beauty doctors and has devised a meth
Cd for rejuvenating the skin. Pasteur
and Koch have established the fact
that between 1000 and 1000 microbes per
square foot fall through space and fas-
ten themselves on every human body in
each twenty-four hours. People who
bathe themselves thoroughly in soap
and water every day have an idea that
they are utterly free from microbes and
that their skin cannot be made any

is stitched on to black kid in q fashion
which, while producing q very smart ef-
feet. takes away from the apparent size
Of the foot in the most wonderful way.
Speaking of the fashion for ribbons
introduces a subject upon which am
sure you will be interested In the rib
bon work known as Lorraine work.
Though this has been in fashion for
some time the craze for It seems to be
ON the increase. 1t is now used Tor
gowns as well as for small fancy arti-
cles as sachets, note books. cushions or
screens. One of our leading dress
makers has prepared q white satin
skirt embroidered UP each seam with
suitable design, which is to be worn at
q ball near at hand. The effect OF the
embroidery Is much improved by the
addition Of spangles and seQuins. Tbs
bodice is embroidered TO correspond.
Such work must be done most carefully,
or the beauty Of the whole dress woulo
be spoiled. The method OF working Is
really very simple, as each petal ana
leaf Is formed by the ribbon, which Is
threaded into the needle and passed
through the material and only occa-
eionally a stitch or two needs to be add
ed In fine sewing silk. Small French
knots are introduced as centers to small
flowers, and raised flowers are worked
by just gathering small portion OF the
ribbon into shape before placing It where
required.
Dinner table centers and doylcys
worked to match are the smartest and
newest idea. and just at this season
decorative needlework comes In most
opportunefy. En- passant we may sug-
gest that ON large table broad ribbons
can be most effectively introduced, and
these must be arranged according to In
dividual taste, and also with regard to
the silver or other ornaments in hand
for decoration. Much depends upon tn,
arrangements for lighting. whether
candles. lamps. or electric light be used.
Two broad ribbons twisting in and out
of the base Of lamps, f1owerpots or des-
sert dishes are most effective IN two
colors. Starting from the center and
ending in bows at each corner, this is
much admired, and II candles are used
or shaded lamps their shades should
match the ribbon.

even hang" That means, that when
1t is strained it will bend in an even
curve from butt to tip. Care should be
taken that there are no imperfections
in the cane. The cheaper rods are
made from inferior material, the manu-
facturer asserting his bamboo accord
ing to the grade of rod he wishes to
produce. An expensive rod should
bend so that the tip touches the butt
without breaking. In buying a first
class rod do so from maker who is
not only willing to put his name on the
rod, but is willing to guarantee it.
A rod that is too timber will not cast
well, whilst one that is too stiff is apt
to place too great a strain upon the
fish by it's quick reaction. Ring guides
are mostly preferred, but some still
cling to the tie guides. A rod for fly
fishing should weigh from six to eight
ounces and be from nine to ten and
O half feet long. The reel seat should
always be below the hand on a fly rod.
If bait fishing is to be INDUCED in a
heavier rod is preferable. Of late a
new material called paddle wood is be-
ing recommended, but until it is proved
superior the split bamboo had better
be adhered to. The steel rods put upon
the market some years ago seem to
give little satisfaction, and are not
used as much as when first introduced.
Yet, notwithstanding this fact, the steel
rod has greater possibilities before it
than any wood rod and is likely to be-
ce7ge the rod of the future. The prob

COW dung and royal coachman Much
speculation has been INDUCED as to
why so wary a fish as trout will seize
an artificial fly, which, in a great ma
jority of cases, bears no resemblance
TO anything on the waters or in them.
1t is true that most flies are intend
ed to represent particular insects, but
often those most clumsily made will
do as much execution as the most
delicate. A certain school of anglers
contends that study of insect life
is necessary to successfully lure the
fish and that only by initiating the
insects that are habitual on the
streams can success be attained. The
practical angler, however, does not do
much studying as to the minutae of
natural flies. He knows that certain
forms and colors will take fish in these
waters and other forms and colors
make good catches in those, and with
this knowledge he is content. The
tackle manufacturers list several hum
dred kinds of flies, probably twenty
