SUCCESS in business is not to be
reached nowadays In the easy-going
method that obtained 1t q generation
or two ago. Times have changed,
and people have changed with them.
Push is the only thing that will carry
a man ahead, and 1t Is the liveliest
pusher that gets there first. AS q
general rule the chronic pusher is a
chronic advertiser. Printers ink is
the lubricating oil of his business
wheels, and he never allows them to
lag or creak for want of it. Hard
times and poor business are incsnt-
ives to increasing bis advertising,
rather than any argument to him for
cutting it down. 1t will pay the
semi-occasional advertiser to ponder
over the pusher's success.

TWENTY-FIVE years ago, when TEL
bow Room" aud "Out Of the Hurry.
Burly" were the successes OF the day,
Max Adeler suddenly ceased writing.
For quarter of century he was proof
against the Establishments Of editors,
but within few weeks he has COM
pleted new series of humorous st<ries
which show him at his best. Tales OF
Old Turley, which will appear in early
numbers of The Saturday Evening
Post, are wonderfully droll stories oi
the quaint characters inan old-fashion-
ed country town before the war. Lo-
cal politics, school committee fights,
church squabbles and women's clubs
lend themselves admirably to Max
Adeler's humorous touch, and form
the basis Of some Of the clev rest stories
that have been written for many day.

Sheep and Wool Notes.

Coffin Bros, on Tuesday, shipped a
train load of 10000 lambs east, por-
ton of them going from kiona. They
will be taken to st. Paul, where it is
the intention to feed for so days, then
put them on the Chicago market.
The lambing season is approaching
and by the middle of March will be in
full blast. Coffin Bros. have band in
the Mckee which is showing an increase
of about 100 per cent.
The wool market is poor at present,
but there is hopes of better prices a
little later, when it is thought wool will
bring from 8 to 12iac according to the
quality.
The sheep men Of this section believe
there is strong probability that the bill
prepared by the Wool Growers associa-
ton will be passed. John Cleman has
gone to Olympia to lobby in its interests.
The bill provides for the prevention OF
scab and other diseases among sheep.

AS II Was Celebrated in the City by Schools
and Different Organizations.

ed in various ways in this city Com
pany c gave a military drill in the af-
ternoon; appropriate services were held
in the different schools, and the day
was closed by ball given by the local
lodge Foresters OF America in Mason $
hall, and Thomas @. Seabrooke and his
excellent company delighted a large au-
dience at Larson's Theater in "The
Founders" The banks were all closed
and many of the business houses fol-
lowed the banks in this respect for a
part of the day. The weather was de-
cidedly chilly and the streets were sea
OF mud, as they have been ever since.
The pupils of st. Joseph's Academy
this year, as formerly, celebrated WASH
ington's birthday with a vim. The
entire forenoon was spent in studying
about the father of our country COM
positions or extracts on the life Of
Washington were written; maps OF our
fair state were drawn, for it holds the
honor OF being named after our mmor-
tai hero; counties and cities bearing the
name OF Washington were located the
Washington monument was talked
about each pupil was then called upon
to recount what she thought was the
grandest deed in Washington's career
as a soldier; next portraits of our hero
were sketched, and after these were
criticized, selections that spoke of his
goodness and greatness We're read, and
the day closed with songs to his time,
honored memory.

ried by Small Majority

At the special election held last Mon
day the proposition to eliminate Park

80; against, 80; two more than the nec-
essary two-fifths. The result of the

CHILDREN GO TO THE MOTHER
In the Whitloek Case the Court Decides That
Mrs. Whtloek Shall Have the Custody Of
the Children,

the Children.
The habeas corpus case Of j. w. Whit
lock against his wife for possession of
their children wound up in sensa-
tional whirl on Monday night. The
plaintiff in the proceedings is now in
other parts of the state and the mother
still retains control of their offspring.
At the hearing before Judge Rudkin
Monday morning full details of the
trouble between Mr.. and Mrs. Whitlock
were given behind closed doors at the
suggestion OF the court. Owing to the
expected sensational nature of the testi-
mony, the public was excluded from the
hearing, but this did not prevent the
full import of the testimony from being
reported. Both parties We're present
with their attorneys and witnesses.
From the testimony it was shown that
the marital relations between the two
have not been of the most felictous ma
ture for some time past. The plaintiff
alleged that Mrs. Whitlock was the
cause OF all his sorrows that she was
indiscreet in her conduct; that she
failed to do the part prescribed in the
moral code for woman to do in these
enlightened days; that she neglected
his home, was unfit to take care of his
children, and that she was ultimately
the incubus that hung over his soul
which made life torture of the seven
senses. He accused her of divers other
things that would not speak well for
woman if true, and would not make
nice reading matter for the home circle.
He further said that she was the inamo-
rata OF some one else, and for this rea-
son alone she should be deprived OF the
right to control the children.
On the other hand the defendant ac-
cused her liege lord with beinga brute"
She claimed that he abused her to
such an extent that life with him was
trail OF misery. She exhibited bare
arm to the court to show large black
spot caused by an alleged blow from her
husband. She said he would get drunk
and come home and abuse her shame
fully. She accused him also of many
other things unbecoming dutiful hus-
band.
The court decided that of the two
Mrs. Whitlock would be the better per-
son to care for the children.
Immediately after the decree Whit
lock made a sale OF all his personal prop
erty, including the undertaking plant,
and on Monday evening left for the di-
rection OF Spokane.

SOMETHING OF A TRAVELLER.
a Busy City Man who Still Finds
Little Time to Cover Few
Thousand Miles.

'T travelled 5000 miles last year, said the
mild clerk of the ribbon counter, "and
had no idea we had so extensive country
He looked around with conscious pride
and a swelling bosom. A veteran in the
shoe department took him up, says the New
York Sun.
Five thousand miies!" said he, with
scorn. "Only 5000 miles? Why, bless your
innocent young heart, travelled Is, 72O miles
last year, and will do it again this year, and
all l know about the extent of our great
and glorious country is Cleaned from the
map. How did l do it! Easy enough.

which, multiplied by 80, makes 46S, 600 miles.
Nearly 20 times around the world, that is,

Oh, my boy, you don't know what travelling

And the ribbon clerk shrunk into himself
and wished he hadn't mentioned his jour

HORSES NEED HAIR REVIEWER
Uncle Reuben Thought There Wasn't
Much to Drag About In
the Show.

"City folks is easily pleased" remarked
Uncle Reuben, who has a farm down in
Egypt, relates the Chicago Chronicle. Il
went in to see that there horse show, and
there wasn't single critter there that had
more than stump of tail. What they need
is hair remover for those prize animals. A
stiff young man that kept looking at moth
ing and holding his arms out as if he das'n't
let his coat sleeves touch his coat says to me
when l asked him about those poor tailless,
stuck-up looking animals that they were that
way on purpose because it's the fashion;
Queer what will come in for style. l looked
round and most of the big men they said was
millionaires didn't have any hair on their
heads. The bald spots was about as numer-
Gus as the bob-tailed HOSES. The young
dudes that I see promenading about with
big flowers in their buttonholes didn't one of
them have a sign Of mustache or even a
prospect of any whiskers. 1t was queer,
horses without hardly any tails, men with
out any hair on their heads, and boys with.
out any mustaches. It do beat all"

A GALE AT SEA.
G-aDhic Description of q Thrilling
Experience on the Attain
tic Ocean.

The sea rose behind us in huge bill
lows, says w. J. Stillman in the At
lantic, and as wave overlook us and
we lay in the bottom of the valley.
and it so overhung us that it seemed
impossible that when it broke it
should not bury US, the stern was
caught by the forefoot of it, and the
old ship began to rise and went up,
up, up, until 1 was dizzy, and then we
lowered on the summit moment,
looking out-though the distance was
hidden by the driving spray-on such
an expanse of mountainous waves as
had never pictured to myself, and
while I looked the wave passed from
under us and we went down and down
with a rapidity of descent which was
almost like falling from a balloon.
and after another moments rest in
the valley came the shuddering half
apprehension of the next wave as it
rose above us threatening again, and
then after again soaring aloft we
raced down again into the driving OF
the spray. Up and down like
child's swing, walowing and rolling
with the sea breaking over the side till
the channels were full, pouring over
the bows in green torrents and then
in binding deluges of spray and water
over the stern; tearing along ten knots
an hour, and yet always seeming to be
left stationery by the waves that
rushed by us-the great waves that
obeyed the wind only to be crushed
down again by it, squirting up here and
there fitfully in pinnacles which were
instantly driven off in foam and froth !;
no combing waves such as the land
dweller sees--for no wave could rise
enough to comb-only great hills of
water, crystalline with wavelets,
streaked with spun foam, heaving as
with an inner impulse, and leaving US
in contemptuous liberation to keep
afloat if we could. And now and then
two great waves raced each other, as
they will at long intervals, till they ran
close to each other, and we were
thrown aloft little higher still to see
nothing more than a wild waste of
foam, spray and watery chaos which
defies human language to express it.
This was the sea as | had wanted to
see it, and as no painter ever has
painted or probably ever will paint it.

SOME BIRD ACQUAINTANCEs.
How Friendship Was Establishe d
with q BIueJay and
Partridge.

! have found that one of the surest
ways to win the affection and conf
dence of birds is to put out near my
door bits of thread and string and
strips of old lace, with which they can
build their nests, and then, watching
them carry these away, evince great
interest in the work, writes Jennie E.
I. Dove, in Youths Companion.
1 tried this with a wild blueiay,
and after she had got her nest built,
l fixed near by a box in which placed
food for her
l attached string to the limb of
the tree on which she nestled; thus
l could pull the limb down and put
food in the box. She became very
much attached, not only to me, but
to my entire family, and seemed proud
and pleased to have us draw down
the limb and look at her and talk to
her. She used to hop off her nest
and show us her eggs, and after they
were Matched, I never knew her to
manifest the least fear.
I also won the confidence of a quail
in which she had her nest was grass
grown and, was moved each year.
Shortly before moving time, / had
the turf on which the quail had her
beautiful nest of eggs dug about with
spade, and then removed few feet
out of the path of the mowers. The
quail, Notwithstanding its natural tim
idity, never objected in the least to
this-after her first removal - but
seemed thoroughly to understand that
the act was done in kindness. Each
year, when I removed her, she showed
more than a speaking acquaintance
with me, my thoughtful act having ap-
parently won her entire love. The
strange thing was that she did not
learn to build her nest in safe
place, but had to be moved each year.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it Is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
