son easier somes to do at mites? This
is what he's brought hoam two or
three mites back: IF fore gallons of
beer will fill thirty to pint bottles,
how many pints and half bottles Will

Well, we tried and couldn't make
nothin' of it, at all, and my boy cried
and laughed and sed he didn't dare
to 20 bak in the mornin' w1thous

Aberdeen, Wash.-Over the burned
and blackened waste made by the
flames of Friday there will rise city
of stone and brick. This was decld-
ed on by a meeting Of business men
held this evening and by the mayor
and council in the forenoon, the NUM-
cipal body preparing and passing an
ordinance which fixes a definite 1re
limit. The ordinance was written
and passed under suspension OF the
rules signed by the mayor and pub
lished in the official paper, all with
in the short space of six hours.
The council also took the Initiative
in building enterprises, deciding 10
erect a city hall Of stone and brick
Of three stories, in which all the city
Offices, public hall and the fire oe-
partment headquarters will be loca-
ted.
BY tomorrow noon the waste dis
trict will also be covered by hundreds
Of tents. Governor Mcbride having
notified Mayor West that the largest
of the canvas houses owned by the
commonwealth will be sent here for
the use Of the business men who have
no place in which to place damaged
stock Or in which to begin business.
In addition to what tents the state will
provide, there will be a good many
canvas covered shacks put up by sa-
loonmen and others, and on account
Of the many visitors today all who
got started did a thriving business.

THE DOLLS FUNERAL.


When my dolly died, when my dolly
died
/ sat on the step and l cried, and |
cried.
And couldn't eat any jam and bread,
| cause 1t didn't seem right when my
doll was dead
And Bridget was sorry as she could
be,
FOR she patted my head, and oh"
said she,
To think that the pretty has gone
and died.
/ nen | broke out afresh, and | cried
and cried.
And all the dollies from all around
came to see my doll put under tho
ground;
There were Lucy Lee and Mary Clack
Brought their dolls over all dressed
in black,
And Emmeline Hope and Sara Lou
Came over and brought their dollies,
too.
Cause it hurt me so when my dolly
died.
We dressed her up in a new white
gown,
With ribbons and laces all around:
And made her coffin in a box
Where my brother keeps his spelling
blocks.
And we had some prayers, and a fu-
neral, too;
And our hymn was 'The Two Little
| Girls in Blue"
| But for me, only cried and cried,
| Cause it truly hurt when my dolly
died.
We dug her a grave in the violet beo,
And planted violets at her head;
And we raised stone and wrote
quite plain,
| Here lies a dear doll who died of
pain"
And then my brother he said Amen
And we all went back to the house
|
But all the time l cried and cried,
| Because twas right when my doll
had died.
And then we had more jam and bread
But | didn't eat, cause my doll was
dead.
But tied some Grape on my dollhouse
door,
| And then | cried and cried some more.
I couldn't be happy, don't you see.
Because the funeral belonged to me.
And then the others went nome, and
then
went out and dug up my doll again.
Had Seen Service.
A certain old colonel was noted fol
his great generosity. He had lost an
arm during the Indian mutiny. and
this made him very sympathetic
towards those who had experienced
similar losses.
While walking on his estate one
day he met an old one-legged man,
evidently in abject poverty.
"Ah, you have met with a great
misfortune like myself, l see," re-
marked the colonel
"Ah, replied the old man, "and like
yourself, Colonel, l have spent a
great part of my life in his majesty's |
service, and seen a hantle O. hard
work.
My poor man, Reclaimed the
kindhearted colonel, as he pushed a |
half crown into the old mans hand |
Il fear you have received but poor re-
ward for your service"
You may we'll say that, colonel"
replied the veteran, as he hobbleo
away.
But" added the colonel, you did
not tell me where you served
We'll, if it comes to that" the old |
reprobate answered, with a Sly
chuckle, Il served my time in the
penitentiary, where they give me IA
years. London Tid-Bits.

Pe-ru-na EradiCates Catarrh From the

ITO the woman of ancient Israel not

as the greatest of earthly calamities.
To become mother-more especially
the mother of a strong, healthy boy
was the height of glory for the faithful
woman of the good old Bible days.
Even now, when maternity is not es-
teemeda of yore, the mother of healthy
children is an object of admiration, and
sometimes envy, by her neighbors. As
compared with ancient peoples, the
average American woman has low APP
probation of motherhood. There are,
however, a great many exceptions to
this statement.

How the Village Druggist Got One
on the Smart Drummer
from the Nity.

81 suppose you make a mistake

care?'' queried the travelling man of
the village druggist, as he fingered
on, after buying bottle of soda
minis, relates the Detroit Free Press.
'Oh, of course" was the ready re-
ply, but it has always seemed to me
that providence kept his eye on a
drug store and interviewed at just the
right time
"How?"

the poor animal under the whip. 1t
was II o'clock at night when |
reached the farmhouse and pounded
on theNdoor. The farmer opened it
himself, and in one hand he held that
dose mixed up in tea cup. He was
about to swallow it when my arrival
prevented. l knocked the cup from
his hand and then sank down in a
swoon, and / dimly remember of
hearing him call out to his wife:
Say, Martha, come here and see
what in thunder ails this fellow. l
