 A party of respectable bums-Sun- day Ioafers-went up to the Yakima mine on the first day of this week and tackled Supt. Haman for square.

 The Douglas Island Chamber of Con- merce will enjoy a little bubble of hap piness on next Friday evening, the oc- casion being their first annual banquet, which will be served at Odd Fellows Hall.

They realize that vaster field is daily opening out before them, and before buckling down to hard winters work, have decided to enjoy themselves so- cially for the one evening only. We understand, however, that it is not to be all play, either, for the project in cludes the presentation of plans of ac- ton which will be informally discussed by the members present. All members are urged to lay aside business cares for this evening and contribute to the felicity of the occasion by their pres ence.

That might be a riddle or an invita- tion to a church fair, but it isn't It's a concise way of calling public atten- tion to the fact that the Royal Tailors of Chicago have authorized us to re- duce prices on 281 Fall and Winter pat terms all the way from S1 to s8 per suit and we've done it. Our prices on this high-grade tailoring were low before, but now they afford absolutely the best investment a man ever made in the way of dress. Come and see these patterns; we have them all; costs you nothing to look and but little to buy-and our guarantee is your safety-valve.

Let US reason toge Ter, and a proper
understanding of the philosophy in
volved will teach US that almost in
variably the life OF the drowning man
will be saved by turning over on the
back. Almost every swimmer knows
how to float, and with head and
shoulders toward the sea be Will be
carried more rapidly toward the lard.
1t is an error that the dro v n ny ma IN

in vary cold wta'her there 10 no great
or danger to induce cramp than in
playing a game Of ball. He browns
from heart failure, in duced by the vlo-
lent txertion aud the upward pressure
of the water upon the abdomen dimin-
shing its space and impeding the &C
ton Of the heart. BY turning over
on thu back this pressure is removed,
the back being slmost entirely q strong
wall OF bone and muscle; also when
on the back the entire body is nearer
the surface and the surface waves tend
toward the shore, the under current
out to sea, even the legs, when upon
the back, beiog less exposed to the
current that tends toward the sea. By
floating gently upon the back, the
heart, relieved Of its pressure, becomes
oalm and quiet, and the swimmer can
regain his strength, and float for
hours.
The bather whose heart is weak
should always present, when stan ding
erect, the right side of the body to the
waves, and avoid the Sullivan like
blows of the incoming waves upon a
crippled heart. In every bathhouse
should be posted the Injunction: "In
