The Canal Committee
A second important matter taken
up by the chamber was the report Of
the Lake Washington canal commit
tee. The committee had been IN
structed to look into the matter %
the city selling water To the Seattle
and Lake Washington Waterway
Co. IL was found on investigation
that the company had been using
city water since March IA although
no contract had been signed. Tn TO
date about eaI. 500 zoo gallons had
been used and the committee has
been unable TO find any authority
permitting the company 60 use city
water. The price charged for the
water was likewise Investigated and
u was found that for one million GU
bio feet 81 water the ordinary CON
sumner pays $500. the city OF ballard
establishments pay st0c. while the
waterway company pays but SO.
Thus the waterway company gets
water ct about one-twelfth what Il
costs the ordinary consumer. The
report goes into detail regarding the
city ordinances upon this question.
The report was laid over until next
meeting. to give the members tiaie

Down in the Messenger Office at
Atlantic the other day the editor had
written q nice send Off for a young
married couple saying among other
pretty things that the bride was
beautiful and only 10 years old. The
type played havoc with the sentiment
though, and got transposed, and made
it say she was only 81 years old.
Which makes an editor reflect what q
dangerous thing it is to undertake to
say how old the bride is. Now, there
was Harvey Ingham, of the Upper
Des Moines, the other day who, in say
ing the pleasant things about the
bride, said she was this side of forty.
Now, people who know Harvey, and
who have observed the increasing
witness in his hair and the deepening
in the lines of thought that mark his
manly brow, know that he is quite {
little past forty, and have reason t.
think that when he said the bride wa
"this side OF forty" he meant on til,
side he was on. Language is scarcel.
capable of the discretion necessar,
to be exercised when one undertake
to tell the age Of the bride.

The Oratory Of the New Secretary
of the Treasury.

Let us seek the source of this man s
power over audiences. The time is
past when one must apologize for the
application of the term orator to the
man who can compel audiences to re-
ceive and retain his message. Leslie
M. Shaw has none of the grace taught
in the schools of oratory. In person
al appearance he is stoop-shouldered;
his head, not large, but we'll shaped,
is out of line with his body, his large
hands are usually ciasped behind him
until he reaches the point of argument
when his index finger gets in its work !;
his long arms describe no graceful
curves, but at irregular intervals one
of them will shoot out with tremen-
dous force from behind his back. His
attitudes are anything but statuesque.
While he is getting acquainted with
his audience, like "Zekle" courtin', he
stand "a spell on one foot fust," then
stands "a spell on tother. Later,
when he warns to his work, his hear
ers don't know whether he atands or
scars but the next day they are ready
to swear he scared! His voice is clear
and resonant, and at times strongly
charged with electricity.
He has the Lincoln gift rather than
the Everett style of oratory. His logic
is clear as plain Anglo Saxon words
can make it. His sources of illustra-
ton are inexhaustible, and are drawn
from his own wide and varied exper-
fence. His humor is infectious. In
this field he is large borrower, but
he invariably adds the Lincoln touch,
which makes the borrowed story his
own. His appeals are startlingly
direct, and have never yet failed to
evoke enthusiastic response. From a
sketch of Hon. Leslie M. Shaw, Secre-
tary of the Treasury, by Johnson Brig
ham, in the American Monthly Re-
view of Reviews.

A Theological Nose.

him. He was at the time a recent con-
vert to Unitarianism in his own coun'
try and was wide awake to everything
connected with American civilization
and American Christianity.
"a few minutes after entering Trinity,
as we approached the center aisle,
noticed him making distinct smiling
noise and, looking toward him, saw
that he was in the act of smelling, his
nostrils moving convulsively after the
manner of an animal seeming some

The Bruce mmert contested cleo
ton case is one more of the constantly
recurring instances showing that it Is
better not to be changing the Austral-
ian ballot law. The wrongly marked
ballots down there are nearly all bal
lots marked by voters who marked the
republican circle and then the square
opposite Emmert's name, intending to
vote the republican ticket excepting
for Emmert. That was the plan when
the Australian ballot was first adopted
in our state, and it remained that way
until we learned how to vote it and
then the legislature came along and
changed it without lettering it, only
confusing the minds of the voters, as is
evidenced by so many still trying tc
vote the old way and losing their votes
Let the legislature keep hands off till
the voting machine comes along.

Recorder. eve used to be ardently
in favor of compulsory education bill
but since the republican party in Wis
consin went up against it a few years

well to leave the compulsory education

The human traits in birds are many,
as most sympathetic naturalists have
testified. Mr.. Burroughs has told us
that there are jealousies and rivalries
among the little winged folk and that
the peace Of families is often disturbed
by outside fiirts and lady killers. Quot
ing this statement In The Dial. an
other observer gives us to understand
that the GRANT bird husband is duly
punished. Il have myself" he says
'seen an English hen sparrow holding
a cock by the topknot and dangle hin
clear off his feet, while her friends
punished him with violent peckings."
