1.-THE best drug store in Spokane
The Watson Drug Co., in the Granite
block, do not boast of having the
best drug store in Spokane; they
simply ask you to come in and see
for yourself. Their stock is very
complete in all lines, and a more up
to date drug store is hard to find.
Old friends and staunch friends
come to your aid when they can, but
no friend is so true to afford relief
as your own money. Therefore save
a little from time to time and put
1t where it will be safe, earn little
interest and be within reach when re-
quired. The Spokane & Eastern Trust
company's savings bank department
is a safe place. January. April, July
and October are the interest periods.
Deposits made now draw interest
from October l.

PATCHES
HAPPINESS

Are patches on ones clothes dis
grace? The pretty wife Of an o. r.
& N, inspector of this city owes her
happiness to a patch upon the sleeve
of her gown. 1t is a pretty little
story and a great deal Of sentiment
was displayed by her lover-husband.
1t was like this: One evening as
they were both returning to their
homes after the close Of a days work
in the city of Seattle the street car
was crowded The little young lady
was clinging to a strap and was be-
ing swayed back and forth. In front
of her stood a six-foot man-her
future husband. His glances were
directed to the girl and he noticed
her embarrassment when she caught
him looking at a generous patch neat
ly sewed on the sleeve of her waist.
She withdrew her hand from the
strap and put up the other hand in
its place.
The man from that time was de-
termined to win that girl with the
patch. He remarked that a girl
clerking in a department store and
wearing patched clothing was an hon.
est girl and deserving of a good hus-
band He has never been sorry and
she is an extremely happy wife. They
have a pretty home on Howard street.
Mrs. - is an accomplished mu-
stefan as we'll as an adept with the
needl. There are no buttons off of
that mans trousers and if there are
any patches on them they are put on
so well that the eye can not detect
them,

Church Reception.

The reception held by the Unit
ed Presbyterian congregation in
their church last Friday evening
in honor of Rev. and Mrs. VII.
Reed, who had just returned
from Egypt, where they had
spent the last eight years as
missionaries, was a very pleasant
affair, and was attended by men,
bers of all the other churches IN
town.
After the devotional services
which were conducted by Rev. j.
l.. Grove assisted by Rev. Adams
of the Methodist church, Rev. S.
B. Huston of the Associate Pres.
byterian church occupied period
of fifteen minutes in a carefully
prepared address of welcome to
the returned missionaries.
TO this address, Mr.. Reed re-
sponded, and held his audience
in deep interest as he related in
cidents and facts connected with
their work in that far-otf land.
Mr.. Reed expressed his gratltica-
ton at being permitted, after an
absence If several years, to re.
turn will. his family to their ma
tive homes and to look agaln into
the faces OF loved ones. Perhaps
no one ever appreciates the land
of his birth to so great degree
as after having spent some time
in foreign land, living among
strange people, with strange
language, strange customs and a
stranger religion. In all their
vocabulary. the Egyptians have
no sucn word as home. The idea
of home as we have it, does not
exist IN their minds.
Mr.. Reed possesses fine de-
scriptive powers, is a pleasant
speaker, and impaired much that
was new and very interesting a
