IN PROBATE
In the matter OF the estate of Lyman Weeks, de

and for examination of said final account,
and if the same be found true and correct, for

1t is therefore hereby ordered that all persons
interested in the estate of the said Lyman
Weeks, deceased be and appear before the pro-
bate department of the said Superior Court of
the state of Washington, for San Juan county,

FRUITS AND FLOWERS,

In setting out an orchard keep to-
gether all trees Of the same variety.
Good garden soil is good for pot
plants, but can be improved by the ad-
dition of leaf mold.
Weak rosebushes may often be made
to grow by giving them an occasional
watering with liquid manure.
One advantage with small fruits is
that they can be made to furnish a
supply long before trees come into bear
ing.
In planting border don't plant every
thing In rows. A row of hollyhocks,
for instance, isn't half as attractive as
irregularly placed groups that break
the outline.
With pot plants in a general way too
little water is better than too much.
The dropping leaves indicating drought
are more easily remedied than yellow
leaves, the result Of being kept too
wet.
In preparing pots for plants the
pieces Of broken pots or crockery in the
bottom should never be omitted, as
without proper drainage the soil be-
comes sour, the plants languish and
the leaves become yellowish.

SOOTHING SHOPPING.
A Peaceful Experience at the East
Morley General Emporium.

Morley General Emporium.
The exhausted shopper sank upon
the sofa, while from the open mouth
of her reversed Boston bag poured a
cascade Of little parcels, freshly strug
gled for at the Monday bargain coun-
tiers.
"Oh," she cried, "why does one have
to shop in the city? Everything is &C
hurried, confused, complex, distracting
and nerve destroying! If l were only

"Last summer while l was there

and l drove over to the one store at
the crossroads to get it. 1t took some
five minutes to convince the amiable
proprietor that l really wanted dark
blue and could not be persuaded to ac-
cept light instead, which he considered
more suitable and becoming to a fair
complexioned person of my years; he
added reassuringly that anybody under
forty was not too young for baby blue.

minutes passed in the search for the

piece of twine the braces being broken,
and his final ascent to the dim and
dusty upper region, whence the box Of
wide ribbons was at length produced.

he leisurely measured off yard, fin

THU RSDAY, JULY 2, 1908
LOOK AT HOME!

Now that there has been all outburst
Of righteous Indignation all over the
United States, because of the Kishe-
nefr atrocities, we may we'll take breath
and compare that exhibition of mob
violence with sin liar outbreaks in our
own beloved land. j. Edward Cutler.
postgraduate student Of Yale College,
has made an exhaustive investigation
of lynchings IN the United States, and
his figures are startling.
He finds that the total number Of
persons lynched in the United States
for the twenty one years, ending Janu-
AIRY |, 1908, was 8, 1888. OF these, 1872
were negroes, ,256 whites, and 105
where the race of the victim could hot
be ascertaiued. OF this total Of victims,
81 were women-3S negroes and %
white.
The two years showing the largest
number of these outrages, were 1884,
when the increase was due to the activ-
ity of "vigilance committees" in Color
ado and Montana, for thieving; and
1892 when the lynchings in the south
showed large increase.
Another fact brought out by this in
Nestigation, is that of the negroes
lynched in the south, only about 35
per cent were killed for assaults on
women. or the total of 623 lynchings
during that period in the west, about
43 per cent were for murder. There
has been a steady decrease in the num-
Der since 1892, but they are still most
numerous in the south.
Theirs are quite a number of good
people who insist that this government
should protest in a friendly way" to
the car concerning the Kisheneff
butchery. Suppose the czar should
take it into his head to protest i'm a
friendly manner against the frequency
OF lynchings in America, and to call
our attention to the wholesale defiance
of law and order by murderous mobs?
1t is good rule to "attend to your
own knitting" The humanItarians
are aghast over Kisheneff. Let them
turn their attention to their own coun-
try, and strive to create public senti.
ment against lynch law. Its victims
In any one year largely outnumber the
total dead at Kisheneff.- Toledo Blade.
