Now the old subject of "obey" in
marriage events is going the round OF
the press.
When a man guesses he can knock
another man down he usually makes
a rough estimate.
An Olympia woman says she has
never been through an insane asylum,
but she is just crazy to 60.
When some people cast their bread
upon the waters they expect it to re.
turn spread with butter and jam.
The angel" who backs a theatrical
enterprise sometimes realizes that
riches take unto themselves wings.
The man who whistles the best of
any, We think, is the mail-carrier with
letter for us containing a money.
order.
We never saw a fellow with long
hair and an artistic temperament that
ever amounted to much-only in the
estimation of silly girls.
A man too proud to beg, too honest
to steal and too lazy to work is up
against hard, unfeeling condition of
things. He would be better dead.
Some people we know would have
you think they have money to burn.
We never see them burn any. Per-
haps they do not like the smell of the
smoke.
Now we will have supply of Nun
roe and Jeffries hot-air paper battles.
They want to give an exhibition as
usual-to the club that will present
them with the largest purse.
Good as the best novel, funnier
than q circus, entertaining as a thea

When woman with plenty of
clothes and no babies moves to a new
town the overtures from the various
women's associations to secure her q
member becomes almost q scrap.
The new French duties on Ameri-
can meats are very high. If the
French people will only take to eat
ing the American hogs who travel
through that country they will be
thanked for yet higher duties.
If more girls would have their pic
ture taken with a potato-masher in
one hand and frying-pan in the
other, instead of looking down at a
rose. there would be more marriages,
more happy and cozy homes on this
globe.
We smile at the odd titles of books
OF che past, but modern works seem
comical also. In reading OF Harri-
son on the Pig" one might wonder
how he managed to hold on. and it
certainly is odd there should be
"Money in Hens"
It's a poor man that takes his own
life, thinking by such method to
square up all debts he owes. The
book.keeper in Seattle who had taken
money from his employer, then killed
himself, is better off dead. He was q
degenerate and moral coward.
Chicago claims that cows which eat
the refuse from distillers in Peoria are
imparting liquor by this means to
babies. Those cows are not up.to. date
in Peoria. If they were Tacoma or
Seattle COWS they would be furnishing

One OF our exchanges says their
baseball team is made up of religious
lambs who feel that it would be a sin
and an abomination in the sight of
the Lord to win game ON Sunday.

thing radically wrong with their re-
ligion. They know that it does not
