ll1E VI. M

 It danced o'er the lush green meadows, It followed the winding stream, Then stopped to rest in the willows. Where yellow birds nest and dream. 1t searched in the dusky hollow
 For the vanished flowers of springs And swung with it's unseen fingers,
 The twisted old grapevine swing. It wandered o'er fields of clover,
 And sung with the honey bees. It ruff1ed the bright blue bonnets
 Of the violets, meath the trees. 1t fell asleep in the shadows,
 In the long, sweet hour of noon, it When blazed the sun in the heaVenSs And the earth lay in swoon- It rushed with the happy children In their merry games at school, And whispered of outdoor pleasures, As they conned some tiresome rule. It moaned down the blackened chimneyss With a cry of woe and pain, And strayed on the storm drenched hill-
 tops,
 With the spirit of the rain. It beat the time for the crickets.
 As they piped the same old strains And walked with the happy lovers, Down the curves of wild-Tose lane. It braided of bloom and fragrance A snare for lettering feet, And whispered in ears so willing, The story so old and sweet. -Adella Washer, in Ladies World New

HE'S SAFE EITHER WAY.
An Interesting Situation in the shack of Western Man Who
 Entertains a RattIer.

Every time John Prentice. of Ken newick, Wash, rolls over in bed at night, a big rattlesnake lifts it's ugly head and bur-r-rs, and some night there promises to be battle between the two.
 Ten days ago Prentice first heard the warning bur-r-r of the rattle in his shack. He is an old westerner and dwells on the bank of the Columbia, half mile from Kennewick. andi just across the river from Pasco.
 His cabin is a one-room affair in the midst of wild, sparsely settled, sage brush country, and is piled high on one

side with plunder gathered from the river. Here are dozens of heavy boxes and other articles which would take half a day to drag out.
 Prentince heard the rattler, looked twice at the boxes and then decided not to interfere with the intruder en- sconced behind the mass of rubbish. He, shifted his bed little and gave up half his house to the snake. The rattlesnake bur-r-rs at every move Prentice makes, but the nervy west erner pays little attention to it.
 On one side of the shack dweller as he sleeps is a big shotgun and on the other bottle of approved snake bite.

The value of coal mined in Japan is almost equal to that of all other min erals combined. It varies from the hardest anthracite to peat, but the quality is unusually inferior to that of American coal. Modern machinery and methods have been introduced in the operation of many mines.-Minine Journal.

.HAPPY HooLIGAN..

Famous but unfortunate Happy Hooligan'' was at Polls last evening and entertained a large house. Hooll, gan was in a happy mood to entertain and he kept his audience in first-claSs humor, sometimes causing roars of laughter by the ridiculous pred1caments he became involved in, through his good nature, and by his smart back falk'' to those with whom he came 1n contact. HoOligan is surrounded by large party of merrymakers, dancers, singers and pretty girls. Void of plot or intrigue the piece is the more easier to enJoy and gives the fun-makers more opportunity to disport themselves. All of the popular songs of the day are introduced or parodied in solos or rous- ing choruses, and a number of new ones were sandwiched in between. The scenery. too, was very fine. Ross Snow played the part of HoOligan, and his makeup alone was enough to make one roar with laughter. It was identical with the illustrations of the original. fine company in general is a frst-class one. A number of local hits brought down the house. The piece will be presented this evening and tomorrow afternoon and evening.
 VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 The Mysterious De Bierre, has be come quite the fad with patrons of the Jacques, who find his marvelously in- teresting exhibition of the black art popular in the extreme. No act in- troduced during the regime of vaude- vile at the Jacques has created more talk, and it is notable that in all the discussions of De Bierre and his work he is compared much to his advantage with Kellar, Hermann and other noted leaders in this field of entertainment There are other brilliant acts on the bill, however, in addition to De Bierre'ss and they all contribute to making this weeks show a splendid exposition of the possibilities of high class vaudeville. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents: matinees, 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10. Next week the Seven Reed Birds. Melville and Stetson and other stars.

Everybody Can't Do Everything

We can't paint picture, or carve 2 statue. or make coat, but we can wash clothes to perfection. We can do if because we do nothing else-have done nothing else for good while-b a- canse we have studied it, and thought abont it, and worked hard as any nainter ever did. It requires as much hard work, and practice, and talent. to make a good laundry as to make good nicfure. Everybody can't paint a pie f,1re-everybody can't wash clothes per- fectly. We want you to give us fair trial. and allow us to prove our word.

Committee of Arrangements Predicts a
Full Attendance.

The committee of arrangements for the
Washington Board Of Trades excursion
and planked shad dinner on the oath in
slant Is able to predict a full attendance
for that enjoyable social function of the

cussion of planied shad and other tooth

Oatmeal Mush and Diabetes.

DR. Pavy Of England has shown that diabetes
Il due TO imperfect digestion OF starch and its
absorption in the blood 1t is impossible for the
stomach to digest cereal foods taken in the form
OF mush, in which the starch Is less than half
cooked. This Is Of the reasons why diabetes
is becoming so common in this country and Brit
fsh Islands French physicians long ago discovered
that toasted bread dextrinized starch is an
excellent remedy In diabetes. The best dextrinized
food however, Is known to be Toasted Wheat
Flakes, sweetened with Malt Honey made by the
Battle Greek SanItarium Food Co. These flakes
are thin. thoroughly cooked and Drowned. They
are very appetizng, partly predigested aud quickly

moths in this country. This addition will

Middletown, N. Y, Jan. 17.-Miss Jo-

gagged in the work of Grace Episcopal
church, and member of an old and
distinguished family of Orange county,
has caused sensation here by her sud
den departure from the city. She left
town on Saturday for Port Jervis, and
today her friends were informed by let

Miss Mulock formed Hencke's ac-
quaintance through correspondence in
answer to an advertisement which
Hencke inserted in a matrimonial jour
nal last July They exchanged photo
graphs, and week ago Hencke pro-
posed and was accepted. Neither has
seen the other. but Miss Mulock is to
recognize him on her arrival in Chicago
by a boutonniere of red carnations
which he is to wear.
Miss Mulock's mother died a year ago,
leaving her an income of several hum

HE CAN'T GUESS.
But John Lee Is Certain There Is
Som ething On

New York. Jan. 17.-Referring to the
fact that a number of leading shipping
men were en- route from London to this
city, in connection with proposed COM
bination, John Lee, agent of the White
Star line in this city, said:
1T looks as if there was something
on; what it is I cannot guess. All these
coming over on the same ship look as
though something was up. 1t may be
that an effort is to be made to arrange
an agreement on freight rates, but i
cannot tell, of course Personally, do
not believe that the White Star line will
ever be sold. l do not think any agree
ment on rates will remedy the sftua-
ton. The trouble is there are too many
ships. l am not enough of shipping
man to know whether the depreciation
in value of ships laid up is greater than
the loss on operating them at a low
freight rate and then I do not see how
you can arrange a settled rate, as rail-
road rates from the west-Chicago, for
'instance-to different seaports differ so
materially. / am led to think there is
nothing in the story of the sale of six
of the White Star steamers. because
such ships as the Celtic which is
combination passenger and freight boat,
carrying more freight than a cargo
boat, are left out. The big carriers are
the true cause of the freight rate dis
satisfaction, and I can not understand
anyone wanting to buy the smaller boats
to set up rivalry with the big ones.'

MUSH MALADIES.

For years we have had tea drinkers
disorder, coffee drinkers complexion, and
now we have the mush malady or starch
indigestion (amylaceous dyspepsia). This
is the result of the extensive use of oat-
meal mush, cracked wheat and other
pasty foods which do not digest well but
ferment, forming acids and poiSonS
which irritate the small Intestine, longest
the stomach and liver, impoverish the
blood. irritate the nerves, weaken the
muscles and sap the vital energies, in
ducing exhaustion, pain and disease The
prevention and the remedy is to use that
appetizing food, Toasted Wheat Flakes,
sweetened with Malt Honey. Each flake
is thoroughly cooked and toasted that
the starch is turned to dextrine and is at
once digestible. Each package of the
genuine bears a picture of the Battle
Creek Sanitarium.
