publishing the only "true" political
news, and 1.-THE psper-being edited
by a colored man. The old saying of
"poor white trash" by negroes, would
seem proper, if what the publication

Honey wanted, on subscription to
this paper. ."-Elma Chronicle.
Just think of an editor OF country
paper wanting honey on subscription.
1t would be bad enough had the editor
wanted it on his bread. The next
thing we hear will be that the Chron-

my; such extravaganza!
at a revival meeting in Portland, a
man arose and said that he was the
wickedest man in the town. "J'd go

Pm coming, too" And then the old
pious fellow wondered why everybody
laughed.
The Rainier Grand Gale, in Seattle,
has engaged string quartette to play

This reminds US tnat if the robbers
who carried off the safe from the
Washington hotel, in the Queen City,
had only made a mistake and carried
the orchestra off, that insist on
making people hysterical and i'll. no
doubt, were the address of the burglars
known, the guests of the hotel would
have gladly presented them with a
loving cup.
]. Ogden Armour has little patience
with the American physicians who
have been criticising the surgery of
DR.. Adolf Lorenz, and belittling the
results of his treatment in the United
States. He and his wife both think
that DR.. Lorenz is a master of his
profession and great man in every
way. DR.. Lorenz treated Armour's
little daughter for deformed limb.
She is greatly improved and getting
along nicely. She can walk and her
parents have no doubt of her complete
cure by DR.. Lorenz.
1t is written in the hearts of East
ern Republicans that "Teddy" must
be defeated, if not for nomination,
surely in election. We now say fare.

not told the truth.
The papers to whom Charley Cant
OF the Sawyer, published at Hoquiam,
pays his respects, seem to think by
calling Cant a drunkard," "blear-
eyed bloat," ETC., that that is argument.
We don't know him, but there is this

Gil, and is one of the best writer's in
the State. Far as his drinking is con-

who delight to call him a drunk have
worse faults than patronizing the
"booze-bazaar," but are hypocrites
enough TO hide their failings under a
cloak from public gaze.

The fun Of fishing is not always in
what you catch; it's good deal in
what you're expecting 10 catch. You
would soon tire of it, if you pulled out
fish as fast as you could throw your
line in the water. The fun of it is,
that you never can tell what will hap
pen, or when its going to happen, or
If its going to happen at all. Even
after you have hooked your fish, you
don't know for certain if you will land
him or not, or how large he is. or fre-
quently what he is. If one could see
everything that was going on under
the water, fishing would not be half
the sport it is. All you ought to see
is a flash of your trout now and then
as he fits up and out of the water.
1t is something like seeing just a flash
OF pretty ankle.
