ECT1HE young man about to begin lifes
career sees before him two roads
the one steep, rocky and uninviting; the other
smooth easy and attractive.

HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS.
THE THOUGHTFUL BARBER.
Had Sign Painted Backward to 30
Read In His Mirrors

from the New York Press.
A downtown barber has adopted an IN
genious method Of advertising
As every enc who has ben In barber
shor, knows, the man who Is being shaved
sits facing a row Of mirrors. 1t Is only
during the brief moments when GUS
toner enters and when he struggles with
his coat before leaving that he catches a
glimpse of the other three walls of the
place. Therefore, to hang an advertising
card on on any of these Is useless. This
one side of a shop where a customer
would have ample time to peruse lltera-
ture is taken up by mirrors. In these
from the face of the clock to the sllyered
cigar advertisements under the coat
racks, everything appears backward and
well-nigh unreliable. In this principle
lay the trick with which the thoughtful
barber catches his customers. He had a
manicure sign painted backwards-from
right to left
When hung on the wall opposite this
mirrors the reflection of this sign OF
course, forward, and from left to right.
with the result that 1t stands out among
every other literary reflection In The
mirror like a club In a mob,
Before put up that sign had only
one manicurist and she was idle half the
time" said the proprietor Ever since
i hit on that idea. however, that branch
OF the business has increased steadily,
until now and keeping two experts busy.
You see 1t Is such a novel sort of thing
that all who see it cannot help but no
tice and to think about it and to be m
pressed by the announcement. Great
scheme, but mirrors are something Ike
1000 years old, and it's a wonder no one
ever stumbled over the idea before"

!" Young Married Couples
~ that used to bunch up of

have some one else to look at once
In q while.
They lived out toward the end
of the Trolley Line and were act
Ing as Decoys for a new Subdivis-
ion, 1t was long Ride down to
the Center of Town and nothing
doing after one arrived there. So
these Honeymooners, who lately
had come out of the Trance and
settled down to plain Housekeep-
ing, had to organize a little Set of
their own.
They played Ping-Pong until it
became a Misdemeanor and then
Mrs. Frisbie organized a Reading
Circle at which Works were read
aloud and discussed. The Men
were not very strong for that form
of Revelry, so Mrs. Gillespie start
ed in to revive some of the lively
Games she had learned at Board
ing School. She had them doing
Charades, also Cross Questions
and Daffy Answers and another
peculiarly exciting form of Lark In
which every one wrote something
on a piece of Paper and dropped 1t
In a Hat. These imitation Pas
times are not calculated to keep

II he has been accustomed to play

while the Suburban Sextette ar
rived at the end of the String.
Jack-Straws and Indoor Croquet
no longer thrilled them. Six
handed Whist seemed to be out of
the Question, so Mr.. Frisbie, who
had been an Indian before he did
the Matrimonial Stunt, timidly sug-
gested that Draw was about the
only Game that would keep the
Blood in Circulation six Nights out
of every Week.
Mrs. Jinkins laid back on the
Proposition because she was the
Soprano In a Church Choir and did
not wish to start any Talk. Mr..
Frisbie and Mr.. Gillespie assured
her that 10-cent Limit was not
Gambling, because it was played
merely for Fun and that very
often one would play all Evening
and lose only Dollar or so or per-
haps come out just Even.
So the Gillespies gave a Poker
Party. All of the Leaves were
taken out of the Dining Room Ia
BILE and Mr.. Gillespie had six
Stacks all counted out when they
sat down. The Chips were two
Kopecks per Stack and Mr.. Gill
lespie said it was not necessary to
show any Money on the Table.
The Minute that he started in to
Bank on this Basis, he was Loser.
Mrs. Jinkins sat next to her
Husband so that he could look at
her Hand every time and tell her
what to do. 1t required Is Minutes
and Reds and the significance of
the Buck and then there was a
grand Getaway. Mr.. Gillespie re-
quested that there be no Talking
and his Wife said she had just one
more Question to ask, did Flush
mean all of one Color? Then he
asked her If she had ever been to
Night School and she gave him the
Bessemer Eye and there was
painful Silence, broken only by
Mrs. Frisbie, who laid down and

asked if four, five, six, seven, eight
meant anything At which every
body else ducked and she pulled in
a White Bean and her Husband
told her she ought to go back to
-Straws, but she said she
didn't care, she won five Cents. He
told her to boost the Ante when
ever she had Pat Hand.
During the next Shuttle, Mrs.
Jinklns yawned and said she did
not think Poker was much Fun.
After she had her Hand, she
showed it to her Husband. He
took one look at 1t and dropped
out. Mr.. Gillespie allowed that
Hoyle did not say anything about
Partners in Poker. When Mrs.
Jinllins showed up Bullets and
bumped for 80 Cents, he made sew
eral low Cracks about every one
playing his or her own Hand.
1t was evident that Mr.. Frisbie
and Mr.. Gillespie were the only
two who were up on the Game.
They should have connected with
all the Coin, only the Jinkins Fam
lily began to ring in Miracles on
them. One time Mrs. Jinkins drew
three and filled a rosy Flush. Mr..
Gillespie was In with three Type
Writers and Mrs. Frisbie had an
elegant Full House and Six Cards
held up. They fed in the Checks
until Mrs. Gillespie kicked and said
1t began to look like real Gambling,
and then there was a Showdown.
Mrs. Frisbie seemed to be all the
Money until they counted her
Cards on her and then they told
her to back out. She said she was
willing to throw away one Card,
but 1t didn't go. Mrs. Jinllins took
the Pot and made so much Noise
about 1t that Mrs. Gillespie began
to act peevish. Mrs. Frisbie, being
Flat, swiped one-half of what Mr..
Frisbie had and never let on.
Then Mrs. Gillespie mistook a
cleaned by the Jinkins combina-
ton, SO she dug into the Bank and
took what was needed.
About 1920, Mrs. Gillespie, who
had tapped the bank for seven
large iron Dollars and played them
in, regardless, said Oh, pshaw!
they were not playing in real
Earnest anyway, so she went into
the other Room and began playing
MIR. Dooley" on the Piano. Mr..
Frisbie had won So. and his Wife
had pinched 1t, twenty cents at
Clip, until he was down to one
Blue and two Whites and so Sore
that he refused to speak to any
one. The Jinkins Duo had their
Heads together every Play. By
trading Cards and building up
Hands they succeeded in singing
the Expert about three times out
of four. In the final Round Of
Roodles, preceding the Dutch
Lunch, Mrs. Jinkins held up a
Tray and Nine and filled and that
was when Gillespie forgot that he
was a Gentleman and used some of
the Language that he learned at a
Club.
Mrs. JinlSins got on the High
Horse and cashed in. She picked
out the right Moment, because she
had 1880 in Velvet thrown up in
front of her. Gillespie had Tabs
against all the others but they
went right in to help out with the
Music and left him there to Dig.
Mrs. Jinkins said it didn't seem
right to take all that Money, but
she got away with it just the same,
and then swore off, for fear some

Jack" Thompson, erstwhile mana

Main street, is missing from his US
ual haunts about town and number
of Walla Walla creditors are viewing
his departure to pastures new with
keen regret. Thompson's meteoric
career as a vaudeville entertainer is
said to have come to sudden end
Monday night after attachment pro-
ceedings against his theater were
warded off, giving him time to dispose
of the house and pocket Saturday and
Sunday nights receipts. A number of
performers are also said to be looking
for the late manager for the last
weeks salary.
Thompsons debit column in Walla
Walla will probably foot up couple
Of hundred dollars, including a big
gas and lighting bill, a couple Of
newspaper accounts, besides a number
of small bills scattered about town.

ent whereabouts are unknown.

No little excitement is reported at
Prescott over the sudden disappear
ance from that place of Carl Hart and
Anna May Hawks, the children of two
prominent citizens of that place. The
young people have been keeping COM
pany for some time and had expressed
a desire to their parents to become
welded. AS the young lady in ques-
ton is not of legal age her parents OBJ
jected. Sunday during the absence OF
Mr.. Hawks, young Hart and the girl
left Prescott, presumably with the in
tention of carrying out their inten-
ton of becoming man and wife. AS
soon as their disappearance was dis
covered Mr.. Hawks came to Walla
Walla and notified Sheriff Painter and
requested him to look out for them.
They could not be located here, how
ever, and it is supposed that they went
to PendletOn. Yesterday Mr.. Hawks
called at the county auditors office
and filed with Deputy Mckinney a
written permission for the marriage
of his daughter to Hart. He said that
after due consideration he and Mrs
Hawks decided that it was the best
course to pursue.
Sheriff Painter received a message
runaways had been located in Pendle-
ton and that everything had been ar
ranged to allow them to get married.
