 son-Sellew Furniture Company store at 116-12O Bank street and pa1r- chased one at saving of $500. Said
 she: eIt pays to watch the opporrszni- ties offered In the Democrat columns figure 1t out that I save the pr1ee of the years subscription a good many times by carefully making memor- andum of the special bargains sucf as this refrigerator offer.'' The
 Hampson- -Sellewl Company still have | a few Refrigerators that are beIIe
 sold at less than factory cost to make room for the carloads of new goods coming in for their immense lali
 trade. It will pay you to buy one right away.

 The Busy Store.
 What makes the store of the Hamp-
 son-SelIew Company always such
 busy place? It's because they offer the greatest selection, the lowest prices, courteous treatment to every one and a guarantee of satisfaction in
 every instance. This combination is the reason of the large business that

girls keep up, and they also care for
the horse and COW and even split the
wood by themselves.
She explained that the object of the
home was to take care of the unfor-
tunate women and their children and
to make it possible for them to be kept
together if possible and so reform the
mother through her love for her child.
When this is impossible good homes
are found for the children. Many of
the best people of Spokane are on these
lists. A new feature of the home is
the classes formed in trained nursing
and domestic science.

Wolf, but in time we will have the

good in eastern Washington. Eighty
per cent of the young women we take

Ne WAS TIRED AND SLEEPY.
Made His Bed on the Sidewalk on
Main Street.

A man. who evidently had endeavor-
ed to drink up all the liquor in Walla
Walla, furnished considerable amuse-
ment for the people along Main street
this morning. The man was watching
the construction of the new MOttet

gazing at the bricklayers on the upper
he suddenly became very sleepy and
lay down on the sidewalk in front of
Esderts' furniture store. After he had
fallen asleep one of the workmen on
the adjoining building dropped a brick
down onto the man. 1t struck him on
the leg and was the means of awaken
ing him. Arising he got on his feet
and walked around the distractions in
the street when his eyes again became
heavy. Spying an empty cement bar
rel lying on the ground he placed it on
the sidewalk and tnen craWled into it.
Then picking up another barrel he
pulled it up over his feet and body

officer came along and disturbed
his slumbers by giving him few
strong punches with cane.

TONOPAH BONANZA
Ell. Minis Go. Market Letter

The past week has again demon
strated our remarks regarding the
leading stocks; Montana onopah
sold as low as 81. Is and 81. III, at
which we again got all our clients in;
the stock is now strong at 81. 224 and
$l.25. We cannot positively assure
our customers to get them In at bed
rock and out at top but we consider
beyond a doubt Montana onopah a
purchase on all dips.
Belmont after declining to So last
week is again selling at so. We are
advised of a block that is on the
market at around these figures.
Should the stock make its appear
ance and decline a few cents VIZ
would strongly advise its purchase.
Give us your orders now at limit
fixed by yourselves, and we can as
sure you that we will get the stock.
Midway is holding its W wonder
fully well, in face of the decline in
some of the leaders, and while we
cannot assure our clients Of immedi-
ate results, the stock is a buy around
the present price. We are not at
liberty to state what we know, but
air we can advise is, look out for
Midway and GET N NOW Midway is
situated on the west OF the Montana
and North Star on the east. These
companies are managed exceedingly
well and are not being manipulated;
they both have undoubted merit, and
buying North Star at 80 and Midway
at AZ is finding money. Frank Golden,
the president of the North Star, is in
town, and is personally at the head
OF affairs. He assured one of the
members of our firm that North Star
is looking exceedingly well and thai
its future is second to none. Amongst
the other stocks we again must re.
mind u readers OF Touopah Exteu
sion and advise its purchase around
80 cents; it is closely held and car
easily be put to 81 or $l.25.
We mentioned in our last letter
Tonopah-G Gold Mountain. We canno
find any OF this stock floating arounC
and that its purchase, while not a
fast as some of the leaders, is q goct
speculative investment.
Rescue continues in good deman,
and certainly is a buy around tn
prevailing figures.
Mcnamara is about to move. 1t
future is in the hands ofJudge Peters
its president. The developing worI
viii move along shortly and give
promise OF being on the Extensio
ledge.
Continual good news arrives froT
Goldfeld daily and the properties ar
keeping up their records.
Capital from all owe the world
attracted by the wonderful discover
les and the arrivals by stage Of frol
twenty to twenty-five people dali
give promise Of quite a populatio
for Tonopah and Gold6eld this sun
mer.
In conclusion we would impress
upon our clients to get in on Mort

IRRATIONAL MANKIND.
The Reasons Why So Few People Die
of Old Aqe.

It has been said that few men die
of old age and that almost all per-
sons die of disappointment, person
al, mental or bodily toll or accident.
The passions kill men sometimes,
even suddenly. The common ex-
preston, "choked with rage" has
little exaggeration in it, for, even
though not suddenly fatal, strong
passions shorten life. Strong bodied
men often die young, weak hen live
longer than the strong, Cor the
strong use their strength, and the
weak have none to uSe-the latter
take care of themselves, the former
do not. Asit is with the body, so it
is with the mind and the temper.
The strong are apt to break, or, like
the candle, run; the weak burn out.
The inferior animals, which live
temperate lives, have generally their
prescribed ter1as OF years. Thus the
horse lives twenty-five years, the OK
fifteen or twenty, the lion about
twenty, the hog ten or twelve, the
rabbit eight and the guinea pig SIX
or seven.
The numbers all bear proportion
to the time the animal takes to
grow its full size. But man, of all
animals, is one that seldom comes
up to the average. He ought to
live 100 years, according to the
physiological law, for five times
twenty are 100. But instead Of that
he scarcely reaches an average age
of four times the growing period.
The reason is obvious. Man is not
only the most irregular and most
Incorporate, but the most laborlous
and hard working of all animals.
He is always the most irritable.
and there is reason to believe,
though we cannot tell what an ami
NAL secretly feels, that more than
any other animal man cherishes
wrath to keep it warm and con-
sumes himself with the fire Of his
own refections.-Health Culture.
