Sunday Sayings.

The cosmopolit, An features of a Yakima
Sunday are plainly seen in the variety OF
the beliefs and the contrsrty Of indi-
vidual opinions on spiritual matters.
The Catholic, the Salvation Army, the
Methodist, Baptist, seventh Day Ad-
ventist, the Christian, Presbyterian, Con-
gregational, Episcopal and spiritual
ere eds were all pretty we'll represented
last Sunday, and on the first day OF next
week We will have couple of Latter Day
Saints to expound the beliefs of the Nor
mon church at Aliens hall.
At Mason's opera house the noted
spiritual lecturer, Mr.. Colby, held forth
to audiences of his faith. He spoke in
the afternoon and evening on subjects
proposed by the audience, mainly on i'm
mortality, and delivered very interesting
and scholarly trance lectures. The serv-
ices were not unlike the regulation
church services, inasmuch as there was
sermon, q prayer, benediction and col.
lection. VIM. Lee, sr., presided at both
meetings. The expenses OF the hall were
paid by the Spiritualists, Of whom there
is a large contingent in Yakima. Mr..
Colby, it was announced, would give
readings at the residence of J. F. Phillips,
South Second street, whose family Mr..
Colby has known for the past fifteen
years. Mr.. Colby will lecture again at
MasCn's opera house next Sunday at 2
p. m. and 80 p. m.
Rev. II. M. Bartlett preached an inter-
esting sermon designed to reach the nom
church goers on Sunday night. He said
that he wanted score of men who,
though not ready to become communi-
cants of the church, would be willing to
work for humanity's sake under his
direction. He believed that when they
found, as 'St. Michael's men," what a
power they could be for the uplifting of
the community, and themselves, they
would in time become regular commune
cants. He said that in North Yakima
there are many churches and good in all
and the non-churchman could easily &C.
lect from among them all the one most
suited to his intellectual and spiritual
needs.
The work at the Christian church is
looking up under the efficient manage
ment Of the new pastor, Rev. Ira w. Kim
mel. Large congregations were present
at both services last Sunday. A large
number Of young men were present at
night. The Endeavor prayer meeting
was an exceptionally good one from every
standpoint. The members expressed
, themselves as having been very much
helped by it, 1t is the intention of the
church to have "Rally Day" in the near
future, at which it is earnestly hoped q
majority of the members will be present.
The Sunday school. under the superin-
tendency Of Mr.. A. l.. Flint and his able
corps of teachers, is doing a splendid
work. The mem bership is very hopeful
OF the future.

Suiyely Wins.

The Walla Walla Argus has been say
ing some rather tart things anent the
trial in which Walla Walla county sought
to obtain a forfeiture judgment in the
Edmiston forfeited bond case tried before
Judge Davidson here last Friday. The
Argus heads a sensational article "Snive-
ly Loses" and goes on to show that he
had endeavored to effect compromise
with that county's officials on the basis
of 5000 to be paid by the evanting Ed
miston's sureties, Messrs. Harvey and
Sinclair. 1t now appears that the Walla
Walla authorities had better have taken
that amount than to have lost the $4,000
sued for, as Mr.. Snively secured YER
diet for his clients. the sureties on the
bond by Yakima jury. 1t seems that
one of the many points raised by the de-
fence was that the bond was approved
by the clerk of the superior court of this
county, J. M. Brown. outside of court.
Under the authority of Morrow vs.. State
in the 5 Kansas Reports the bond was
void. The bond should have been APP
proved in open court. Messrs. Snyder Il
Prebe made strong and able fight to
get Judgment, but Snvely won out.

CAR FARE ETIQUETTE.
Rules for Women Who Would Avoid
Argument for Themselves and
Enba rraSsInent to Others.

Always pay your car fare when you
would like others to pay theirs under
the same circumstances, advises the
Chicago Tribune.
If you are visiting city friends or
relatives for more than a day, pay your
fare on all occasions. Your hostess will
regard it as a direct answer to prayer.
If you meet a social or business
woman friend as you are about to enter
a car, don't offer to pay her fare or per
nit her to pay yours, and don't argue
about it.
A business woman never permits her
business men acquaintance to pay her
car fare.
The social man friend whom you have
met by chance must be dealt with tact
fully. By all means offer to pay your
own way boldly and briskly, but if the
man displays q tendency to argue the
question sapiently for blocks, as mat
ter of self-prescrvation let him squan-
der the nickel.
When women go forth together for
Clutch treat pleasure time each one
should meet her own expenses to the
last cent, always including car fare.
Schoolgirls should be taught not to
accept car fare courtesies from either
schoolboy or girl friends.

COURTING IN CUBA.
This Writer Says There Are No Hand
some MiddIe-AGed Women
the Island.

Apparently the highest social insti-
tuition of Cienfuegos is the Sunday even
ing promenade in the plaza, and with
out it l really do not know how the
young people of the aristocracy would
manage to mate and marry, says a cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Record.
During all the week senoritas of the up
per class are kept under rigid restric-
ton, never permitted to walk abroad
alone and constantly watched by par
ents and duennas, as if expected to rush
to the bad if allowed the smallest OPP
portunity. This system of eternal Wig
lance would doubtless become as ink
some to the guardians as to the opening
buds were it not so soon over.
At the age of 13 Cuban girl is con
sidered quite old enough to marry, and
her parents hunt up a son-in-law with
out delay-unless, as is more commonly
the case, some sub-rosa lover announces
himself, or a match, satisfactory to
paterfamilias, was arranged for her
with the son of a friend while the pair
were yet in their cradles.
The beautN and charm of the fair
Cubans are as evanescent as irresistible
while they last. Like the lovely wild
flowers of their islands, they mature
very early, but fade as rapidly. The
prettiest girl will be plain before she
is 80, and a handsome middle-aged wom-
an is not to be found in Cuba-if any
where outside the temperate zone.

COOL AND TELLING NERVE.
A Knowing GeoIogist Made Use OF
an Opportunity to Overavve
His Help.

For sheer, cool nerve and absolute,
inspired genius in dealing with men,
commend me to Clarence King, the ge-
ologist, if the story that is telling about
town be true. Mr.. King, the tale runs,
was in the field all one summer-last
summer, l think-with a government
expedition. The field happened to be in
the far west, and the men he was COM
PEELED to employ as assistants were a
band of cheerful ruffians, half-b breed
desperadoes and ''greaser" scamps, says
the Washington Post. Bad as they
were, they worked well, and they were
Indispensable. One night one of them
deserted. Mr.. King knew what that
meant. 1t meant stampede and an
empty camp if the deserter were al
lowed to go unpublished. He chose a
companion on whose silence he could
depend, mounted and took the trail
On the third day the deserter was over
taken, captured and landed in a con-
venient fort.
The runaway had subsisted for three
days of his liberty on such game and
birds as he could kill. His horse was
white, and as he rode often with prey
slung to the saddle the animal was
streaked and stained with blood. The
man being in safe keeping, Mr.. King
and his companion rode back to camp
leading the crimson-streaked horse,
with all the deserter's belongings
strapped to his back. They spoke no
word of the missing man to his former
companions, but dismounted in grim 81
lence. The men endured the pangs OF
curiosity as long as they could Then
they sent a committee to Mr.. King to
make inquiries about the fugitive. Mr..
King gave a meaning glance at the
blood-stained horse and made answer
briefly:
''He is gone," he said, impressively.
HE is gone where anybody else who
tries to desert will go, too
Half-breeds and ''greasers' gasped
and crossed themselves, and from that
day on no one of them ever tried to de-
sert.

One Who Has Been Bitten Forty
Seven Times During His Dam
gerOus Career.

Eternal vigilance is the price of i'm
munity from bites" said lion tanner
recently to a New York Telegraph man.
although my lions do not often catch
me, they do with frequency sufficient
for all practical purposes. Within
three months I have been bitten twice
on the leg and once on my right arm.
Altogether in my career | have been
bitten something like AZ times. But
lion tanners get used to such little
things.
THE most serious accident [ ever ex-
perienced was when I was bitten almost
through the right thigh. With good
treatment / soon recovered. There is
no better remedy for an animal bite
than lukewarm wa; IF and plenty of
salt, and by using them I have invari-
ably escaped blood poisoning. I am al
ways armed when I enter cage, though
my audience may not know this, and on
five occasions when the lions became
maddened and [ saw death staring me
in the face I have had to shoot to kill.
81 have found the Asiatic lion the
easiest to tame and the safest to ham
die. The Nubian lion is more treaeher-
Gus than tiger and when he bites he
takes a big piece. Males are easier to
tame than are the females, and cubs are
not as easily managed as is generally
believed"

AN ODD CATCH.
How a MischievOEs MILDLY Fooled an
Obnoxious Subiieu-
tenant.

The followers of Izaak Walton on
board a man-of-war are wont to ply the
gentle art with a line alone) from over
the ships side during the evening, says
the Cornhill. A sublieutenant, who was
not particularly liked by his junior
messmates, was one day SO engaged,
when midshipman, seeing the line de-
pending from the ''chains" above,
reached out of one of the main deck
ports and gave it a couple of violent
tugs, in imitation of a fish biting. Up
the line was hauled with alacrity, but,
of course, with no result.
Once again the sub essayed to catch
this big fish that had given him so heavy
a bite. This time the middy's plan was
more elaborate, for, getting compan-
ion to keep the necessary strain upon
the upper portion, he hauled up the
lower part of the fishing line and at
tached to the hooks an old shoe, an
empty bottle, holy stone and sardine
tin. Having carefully lowered these to
the full extent of the line, he gave it a
more powerful pull than ever, and the
eXpectant fisherman above hauled in as
fast as he could, hand over hand
But his language when he discovered
the nature of his 'catch" is too much
to ask even an unfortunate compositor
to set up in cold type

No Lon Wooer.

Rudyard Kipling's maternal grand
father was Rev. George E. Macdonald
1t is related of him that in the days
when he was counting the lady whom
he afterwards married the father-in-
law-to-be-an aged Methodist, with eN-
tremely strict notions in regard to the
proprieties-wa injudicious enough on
one occasion to enter the parlor with
out giving any warning OF his approach.
The consequence was that he found
the sweethearts occupying single
chair. Deeply shocked by the spec
tacle, the old man solemnly said: "Mr.
Macdonald, when [ was counting Mrs.
Brown she sat on one side of the room
and [ on the other" Macdonald's re-
ply was: That's what [ should have
done had I been counting Mrs. Brown"

Gentle CannibaIs.

Capt. Guy Barrows in Pearson's Mag
azine maintains that cannibalism is a
sign of a little higher development
than the tribes who do not practice it
possess. 1t is relic of some religious
rite or perhaps hunger that has been
retained until the descendants like the
practice of it. The flesh of relatives
is never eaten and some tribes forbid
the use of human flesh to their wom-
en-. A cannibal is often kind and af-
fectionate and no bad moral results
have been discovered from it.
