A recent Spokane dispatch says: "The
Spokane county Republicans endorse
both Cushman aud Jones for renomina-
ton. 1t is the general belief here that
both of these congressman will be re-
named for their present positions.
All parties in the senatorial fight seem
anxious to keep Jones out of the way
as much as possible in order to prevent
his being a troublesome and dangerous
factor in the senatorial race. Cushman
is popular i'm eastern Washington and
the republicans of this part OF the state
will not look with sympathy on any
effort of Senator Foster to turn down
the Tacoma congressman. 1t is sup
posed that King county, too, will favor
Cushman, for if King county does not
get senator this session she will be all
the more anxious To defeat Senator
Foster two years hence and secure the
place for Seattle man and it is suppos-
cd that 1t would be easier to defeat
Foster if Tacoma has a congressman
than if she Is without other representa-
ton at the national capital. AS to the
third congressman, Hon. w. Il. Hum
phrey can have tine place if he is any
good as politician and reports say he
Is. Both Senator Wilson and Mr..
Ankeny will be glad to weaken King
county's chances OF securing the SEN
atorship by giving MFR. Humphrey the
nomination.

ROOSEVELr'S HOLD ON THE PEOPLE

The mention of President Roosevelts
name in the Missouri Republican state
convention at Jefferson City was greet
ed with as marked enthusiasm AS that
shown at the Kansas convention. In
fact wherever in recent months the
opportunity has arisen the masses Of
the Republican party have given salts
factory evidence that they are in SYM
pathy with the president and IN accord
with his policy. Nor are the esteem
and respect felt for Mr.. Roosevelt linn
tied by partisan honors. He is dis
tmctly the lavorte of the masses who
feel that he is their representative.
1t has been the cardinal faith of men
of broad sympathies. like Lincoln, that
the people could be trusted and that
their judgment would lead them to
right conclusions. 1t will be interest
ing to note how far this trust will be
justified in the attitude Of the people
toward Theodore Roosevent. Having
the outward show of friendship of the
Republican party leaders the president
has really incurred the enmty of some
of the most powerful of them because
he has been steadfastly opposed to their
selfish schemes. He has been not only
the representative of the people in his
efforts to succor Cuba, but he has also
taken a stand for the masses against
the trusts. The power of those who
fear him cannot prevail against popular
love of fair play and courage. The
unanimity With which the People have
thus far given President Roosevelt
their approval is one of the hopeful
signs of the tinies.-Kansas City Star.

Last night boy came here from town

Last night boy came here from town
To stay a week er so,
Because his NAV is all run down
And needs a rest, you know.
His name is Cecil, and he's eight
And he can't skin the cat
His NAV she calls him "Pet"; I'd hate
To have name like that.
He wears collar and tie
And cant hang by his toes;
guess that would nearly die
fl had on his clos;
He can't ride bareback. and today,
When we slid on the straw,
He asst if ROSTERS help to lay
The eggs pick fer NAV.
When our old gander Kissed he run
AS though he thought he'd bite,
And he amt ever shot gun
Or had home made kite;
He never MIXED a COW and he
Can't even dive or swim
I'd hate to think that he was me;
Pm glad that amt him.
He thinks it's lots of fun to pump
And see the water squirt,
But won't climb III the barn, and jump,
For fear of gettin hurt,
His clos are Ollie nice and fine,
His hairs all over curls,
His hands amt half as big as mine,
He ought to play with girls.
A little while ago when we
Were foolin' i'll the shed
He suddenly got mad at me
Because 1 bumped his head.
There's lots of things that he can't do
He thinks that sheep1l bite,
And he's afraid of ganders too;
But he can fight ali right.

their names.
An acquaintance being thus struck up,
Atramentale without more ado told them
how to make parachutes, for, as he was a
bird of very curious mind and was always
trying to find out how things In general were
made, he had examined the parachute very
closely AS the Princes and Studimuch lis
tened carefully and noted everything the
raven said, they soon understood and set
about preparing the machines which they
hoped would aid them to gain their freedom.
Bolts OF strong cloth were brought up from
the closets, and also a great deal of light
wood from the kidding cellar to form the
frames of the parachutes. They had no wire,
but used, instead, the catgut of their tennis
racquets, which answered very we'll.
So hard did they work at cutting, stitch
ing and binding that one great parachute
was finished and ready for use before two
hours had passed. To test its strength and
ind whether or not it would fall slowly
enough to the ground, lot of gold and sill

which is much better for the skin than
the powdered starch and -four which Is
sometimes employed.
Next TO the gray is the green variety,
which ranges from dark olive to deli
cate greenish blue, like the color Of the
sea just as It is about to break upon the
beach. This is the prettiest of all the
soapstones and makes a very handsome
addition to a collection. The finest
quality is known as tale, which differs from
ordinary soapstone partly in its compost
ton and partly in having a grain so that
1t splits along certain lines and also into
irregular sheets.
Tale has a soapier feel than soapstone,
which is due to It's greater purity. In the
soapstone there are always very fine grains
of other substances, which make 1t great
deal of a mixture, but in tale there are
almost no foreign substances. The stu
dent should get or 10 pieces and
should then, with the knife, split them so
as to show the beautiful angles and edges
which the stone will make. 1t is wise to
practice on one piece until you are familiar
with its cleavage and then try the others.
In this matter you can split piece so os
to make a beautiful semitransparent green
crystal that looks more like huge gem
than an ordinary piece of stone.
The rarer varieties are red, maroon. blue.

these kinds are to be found east OF the Mis-

Coast and the Great Basin. collector can
obtain many good specimens at the fac
tories which use soapstone for different pur-
noses. At tailor shop he can secure French
chalk. and at a pencil factory white, yellow
and green tale. At places where they make
lubricants for machinery he can often pro-
cure green and white tale and blue soapstone
that is employed for this purpose. In many
little Italian shops he can run across cheap
white soapstone that is carved into vases
and sold as alabaster.
Nature In making tale seems to use boiling
water. steam and great pressure. In Its
unrest form 1t is a magnetism rock, but In
general 1t is magnesia and alumina, OF which
the commonest form is clay.
If is probably made many miles below the
surface of the earth, where water has found
its way down, and under the influence OF
great heat has dissolved magnesia. alumins
and other substances, and then, as the pres
snre relaxed and the water evaporated, the
solution became pasty and hlled up the
crevices in the rock which had been dis
soived nv the water in the beginning.

BY LAWRENCE BRADLEY.

his arms, and gazed wistfully upon the dark,
coo-looking forests in the distance, his at
tention was attracted by a sudden noise
overhead. CHANGING upward, he beheld a
monster raven slowly moving about in
graceful circles. Soon the great bird set
his wings and dropped swiftly down and
rested upon the parapet within few feet Of
the young Prince, whom he gravely sur
yeyed with his head to one side.
How I WISH" cried the unhappy Fit
wick, that like thou / might fly from this
wretched prison down to the beautiful

"Well, why In the world don't your" re-
torted the raven, soemnly, and much to the
surprise of the Prince, who had never heard
bird speak before, nor, indeed, had he
ever been so near one.
why don't IT. he repeated at last. "Why,
now could II l have no wings like you"
Then get a pair" said the raven.
What foolish things you say!' answered
Prince Flitwick, now inclined to be pro-
yoked. Where do you suppose could get
them?"
Make them" croaked the raven. "In
some of the countries visit they hold large
fairs, and men. to amuse the spectators,
often go very high into the skies In balloons
and float down to the earth again by means
OF huge pieces of cloth held by wires and
sticks In the shape of large umbrellas. They
call these machines parachutes, and I sup
pose you might consider them WINGS, he
concluded, twisting his head to the other
side with an air of wisdom.
That's splendid ideal" said the Prince,
dancing in his delight. do you think my
two brothers and our guardian, who is very
wise, could make these para-parac hutes?'
Certainly" replied the raven, and then
added--as he feared Prince Fltwiek might
not give him credit for being as smart as he
wished to be thought-"that is, under my
direction you could make them.
You won't mind teaching us, will you Y'
the Prince asked, anxiously. 81 am sure
we will all be most obliged to you"
"Of course l WON'T said the raven,
kindly. Bring up your brothers and guar
dian and let us talk about it."
Flitwick fairly flew down the stairs to the
library, where his brothers and Studmuch
were sitting, and as fast as he could for ex-
eitement and joy greatly confused him, told
them of the talk he had had with the raven.
Pellmell they ran to the top of the tower
TO see the raven, who remained perched on
the parapet, blinking in grand and solemn
state.
This is the-the-the gentleman" began
Prince Flitwick, hardly knowing by what
name to call his strange friend; this is the
gentleman who kindly suggested wngs-I
mean parachutes."
The great bird folded his eoal-back wings
over his breast and bowed so low that he
nearly fell off the parapet.

She was ping pong maiden,
And played on ping pong court;
She hoped, and danced, and bounced abou
In way she had not ought.
She loved ping pong player,
Who had some charming strokes,
For she was an ardent ping pongist,
And scorned all other folks.

Which made her jump with glee.

from the nearest forest an odd-looking fell
low who was mounted on slow-moving
donkey. The Princes watched the approach
of the man and beast in much curiosity, and
1t was not long before the two drew up In
