No other section OF the Northwest
offers advantages superior to this
country. The present agricultural
development is extensive and all crops
grain, grasses, fruit or vegetables
are produced to perfection, and an
extensive area Of the very best land is
still nncutivatcd. The price OF lands
improved or unimproved is reason
able, and many fine farms are offered
for sale at bargain prices, and nearly
all owned by PARTIES advanced in
years, who want rest from the la
Dor that must be incident to success :
iuli farming. Our real estate men
are reliable and any enc desiring lands
may safely depend upon their repre-
sensations. The stock business itself
or IN connection with farming has
always been profitable. The mountain
districts round about us offer the very
best inducements for investment in
stock-raising, mining and timber en-
terpi Uses, and the advent OF a larger
population will develop many un-
thought of industries. The social
and educational advantages are full
ly sufficient for all requirements.
Ritzville is the metropolis of this
great country, and is a leading and
up-to-date young city. In addition
to what we already have in Ritzvile,
the public school system and churches
are we'll established in all precincts il
the country and conducted in very
satisfactory manner. SO the immi-
grant from the East will find all the
adjuncts OF modern civilization await
ing his arrival. There is no health
Ter climate on the continent. Cy-
clones never have occurred. All in
all the Adams county country offers
as fair field as any locality in the
west. Washington, the greatest state
in the west, has within the past ten
years advanced in population proper
tionally more than any state in the
union, and the inducements today are
better than ever, transportation facili-
ties have increased and many of the
difficulties and drawbacks of other
days are eliminated from the present.

and became lost. She was accompa-
MED by her dog, a gigantic yellow
stag hound. After wandering a mile
and a half from home she became
tired and fell asleep. 1t was late
in the afternoon, and, though her IA
ther searched for several hours, he
was unable TO find her. AT midnight
he heard the baying of the hound
out in the woods. He hastened in
that direction and found his daugh-
ter with the big hound standing
guard close TO her, and near her were
the bodies of two big gray wolves.
The wolves had evidently stolen up
on the sleeping child and her pro-
tector with the intention of killing
them, and were whipped by the dog.
The child was unable to give an in
telligent account of what had hap
pened, but said she had been awak-
ened by hearing Nero fighting with
the wolves.

succeeded in teaching her two beauti-
full black cats TO do a few tricks that
are perfectly wonderful.
To begin with, Plato, the4arger, his
mistress viii call him TO her and say:
Now, Plato, prepare for your dinner" "
Plato will Immediately rear upon his
launches, lick his paws clean and
smooth down his glossy fur.
A chair is then placed with its back
to the table. and a plate of meat cut
in small pieces placed near it. After a
napkin has been tied around his neck
he is ordered to take his place at the
table and eat his meal. Standing upon
his launches in the chair the intelH-
gent animal will lean over the back of
the chair, take a piece of meat in his
paw and convey it to his mouth.
Strangely enough, however, if the
napkin is not tied round his neck be-
fore the meal Plato viii at once COB
bic up the meat just like any ordinary
cat, and cannot be made to pick up one
piece at a time with his paw.
Next Socrates is given a chance to
display his talent. a stick about three
feet in length is held vertically, with
one end resting on the floor. At the
command to show his claws Sock viii
stand or his hind feet, and, distending
his claws as far as he can, reach up and
get a firm clutch on the stick Then he
viii slowly lift his hind feet off the
floor and hang at arms length from
the stick.
Plato is very jealous of this particu-
lar performance on the part of his
ehum, and never fails to slip and tickle
him on the hind feet. He viii keep this
annoyance up till "Sock'' drops from
the stick and climbs upon a chair for
protection.
When il comes to an instrumental
solo Plato is an expert. He will climb
upon the stool and hammer the KEYS
of the piano until the whole room re
sounds with the strains of what. from
its lack of melody. approaches very
nearly to some operas. Socrates can
not be induced to play the piano alone.
but after a deal of coaxfng and a bit
of meat will climb upon the stool be-
side Plato and assist in duet.

perhaps a little less conscience, met
Thompson downtown one day, and it
only required suggestion for him to
secure the marriage license. They
straightway went 10 a justice of the
peace and were made one.
The girl who had been 'cut out" did
not weep and wall, as some Tilted girls
would have done, but took the matter
philOsOphiCally, knowing that John
Thompson loved her as much as the
one who had shared him. And when
the first baby came TO brighten the
home of John and his wife the girl who
still remained single was there every
night after her own work was done to
cook little delicacies for the mother
and tidy up the house.
Three children were born to John in
as many years. \ few weeks after
the birth of the last child his wife died.
No one viii deny that John Thompson
was left in a bad predicament, and no
one viii blame him for taking a second
wife. OF course he married the girl
who had loved him before and even
after his marriage.
Almost every Sunday in summer
John and his second wife used TO visit
he grave in OaBwoods where rested
the remains of his first wife, and put
flowers on the grassy mound Every
grave around there had some kind of
a stone but the one in which Johns
wife was buried. His second wife
thought John wasn't showing proper
respect TO the dead, and she told him so
in as gentle a manner as possible.
John acknowledged she was right, but
he couldn't bear the expense of a head
stone, he said, until he had bought
things for the house, which were more
urgent. The second wife then resolved
TO buy the stone herself. and she went
out working at washing or scrubbing
wherever she could get it. In a little
less than two years she earned S1s5,
every penny of which was laid aside for
the headstone.
After the stone was set in place last
week she said to her hus band:
Il have done just what think Mary
would have done if she had been in nv
place"

the diplomats and distinguished
guests had been filling the boxes re-

The approach of the emperor's pro-
cession was the signal for silence,
and everyone stood to receive his
apostolic majesty. Heading the pro.
cession were two archbishops and

court chamberlains, - archdukes and

The archdukes formed in line facing

with drawn swords then marched
into the hall, followed by u semi.
narians, bearing trays containing
meats and delicacies, and stood be-
fore the table. The emperor then
deftly and speedily took the dishes
from the trays and placed them be-
fore each old man, returning after
ward TO his former position. As he
walked down the table he was fol-
lowed by the grand court chamber
lain, Prince Lichtenstein, bearing his
white wand.
At the conclusion of this part of
the ceremony the officials removed
the table and spread a long roll of
white linen over the knees of the
old men. Then the emperor. assisted
