Gay young Richmond travellers who are
now sojourning in Paris write to The
Times Dispatch of all the beautiful things
they are seeing and doing while there.
a letter Just received says:
Our visit 10. Versailles was most sat
it at its Best advantage. On the first and
third Sundays of every month the foun-
tains play. This is great sigut. The
fountains are scattered through the park,
the top OF the steps in front of the palace.
To the left, through an alice of small
fountains. are to be seen the largest,
the Bassin du Dragon and the Basin
de Neptune.
"The fountains play for only twenty
minutes the cost for even SO short a
time being enormous. The gardens are
about as they were when laid out. They
can hardly be conceived; the chief object
seems TO have been to subject nature
TO the laws of symmetry, and TO practice
geometry. architecture and sculpture upon
lawns, trees and ponds. The paths lead
ing from the palace to the villa Trlanon
are left TO be as nature intended, and are
in consequence more beautiful. All through
the woods people are seen with their
tamihes and sewing, and the landscape
is simply dotted with counting couples,
although the latter are to be found every
way one looks in France.
"A great deal Of historic interest centers
around Versailles, 1t being Indebted for
its origin 10 Louis XIV The site was
hardly favorable for a tower and still
less SO far apart as the water for the
fountains had TO be conveyed 10 II from
a. great distance and at an enormous ex-
pense. However. the greatest generation
can hardly regret the amount OF money
put into 1t. for IT is considered the mnst
beautiful palace In Europe.
After 1859 II became the permanent resi-
dence of the court. II witnessed TN,
zenith and decadence of prosperity 0,

THE palace is now used as a museum
A number of famous pictures OF Napoleon
and others as well as much very inter

and her feelings clearly showed them
selves In her face.
Ralph pondered for a few minutes be.

thought to himself. why should 1t not
be a good idea to take her with him?
There was plenty of room on board, and
she might prove usefuliif he found Kate !;
or, failing that, could find Cunningham

searching for the man who had attempt

The girl commenced an avalanche OF
grateful words. but he cut her short.

She darted away. her face bright with
happiness. though whether it was from
the possible chance of meeting Cunning
ham, or that 1t might fall out that
she could have her revenge upon him,
Ralph could not tell. That the man would
ever search for Kate, and take her
forcibly away had never entered his
head.
In less than half an hour Minnie re-
turned. carrying upon her head bun
die containing her entire property.
GO on board" said Jennings, as she
came to him, Find the steward and tell
him from me to give you place to stow
your stuff. After you have done that do
not leave the ship. as We may sail at any
time"
The girl ducked a courtesy, and with
out reply, FASTENED on board the steamer.

All the claims in the world for the cura-

one testimony to the actual fact of cure.

Wanted Easy Money.

Thursday afternoon lad named
John r. Seeley, who has been at
tending school here, appeared at
the cashiers window of the First
National Bank, and presented a
check bearing the name of E. Fl.
Letterman for payment. The check
was made payable to "Wm. III.
Jackson" whose endorsement ap-
peared on the back, and was drawn
for $50. Mr.. Sargent, the assistant
cashier, saw at a glance that the
check had not been drawn by Let
terman, the signature being a very
poor forgery. On the pretext of
wanting Seeley to bring in someone
to identify him, the bank held the
check, but Seeley did not again APP
pear and steps were taken to appre-
bend him. He boarded the Nor
thern Pacific train for Lewiston,
and it thought is today en- route on
on Snake river steamer to Ripar-
Ia, where he will find an officer
awaiting him.
The boy, who came to Pullman
from Ritzville to attend school, is
only IL years of age, and apparent.
ly little realized the seriousness of
the offense.
"Wm. H. Jackson" is fictitious
person, apparently, and young
Seeley may have been some other
PERSONS dupe in the matter.

Elks to Entertain.

Moscow lodge No. 249 of the Be-
nevolent and Protective Order of
Elks, proposes celebrating in a So
cial session in our city on the even
ing Of Thursday, December, 18th.
To participate in this event it is
expected that there will be an influx
of several hundred Elks accompan-
led by their Does, and it is pro-
posed to make of the occasion the
social function of the season.
The program for the pleasure of
the Herd and their friends will
commence with an artistic enter
tainment in the Auditorium be-
ginning at s p. m. promptly. To
this, as many as are still wanderers
of the prsiries outside of the fold,
will be invited, as the capacity of
the house will seat. Following this
entertainment, there will be given
a ball and banquet. The lack of
floor space, alone, compels the linn
itation of invitations to Elks and
their Does only. The Grand March
will commence in the Odd Fellows
Hall as soon after 10 p. m. as pos
sible, while the salt lick will be
found in the rooms of the Pullman
Club, Sufficient salt will be pro-
vided to keep the herd engaged to
their stomachs' content.
A special train of box cars has
been arranged for to bring in those
of the herd pasturing in Moscow
and Colfax, while to the regular
trains of the Spokane and Palouse
branch, large cars will be added to
accommodate the antlers of those
coming in from the north and south.
Any Elk, in good standing, not
member of 249, seeing notices, is re-
quested to bark and make himself
known, and consider himself invit-
ed to all that's going.

Whitman County Wheat Yield.

S. c. Armstrong, local manager
OF the Pacific Coast Elevator Co..
who is one of the best posted grain
men In the state and has the best
facilities for accurately estimating
the grain yield of Whitman county,
has prepared for the Commoner an
estimate of the wheat handled at
the different warehouses of the
county this year. His figures give
total of 6,951 900 bushels, in ad-
dition to which must be added 500
OOO bushels, which he estimates
has been saved for feeding and seed.
This would make the crop of 1908
approximately 100000 bushels,
which is considerably larger than
was generally expected. AS a mat
ter OF fact the estimate is probably
rather low, as Mr.. Armstrong made
his figures conservatively and did
not take into account the wheat
