With the triumph of Mr.. Farrell

tempted to secure the nomination Of
State Senator Baker for governor, in
which he would still have held his
prestige in republican politics of the
state. He has been sidetracked by
an ADLER and more honest tool Of the
railroads, Mr.. Farrell.

Only once in the last few days,
only once in the past two weeks has
1t appeared to anyone who knows
anything about politics that Governor
Mcbride had any chance to secure e
nomination. Those who have cried
and shouted for him have done SO to
hide lost cause or have been fool.
ishly ignorant.
John III. McGraw of the King coun-
ty steering committee made strong
effort to induce King county to give
Mcbride her lis votes in trade for
the legislative votes which 1t was
supposed Mr.. Mcbride could deliver
to Samuel H. Piles for United States
senator. 1t was thought generally in
Tacoma for perhaps an hour that he.
would succeed, and so elated were the
Mcbride men that they hired band
to celebrate their victory. p. c. Sui
Ivan. the chairman of the steering
committee, however. at the direction
Of Mr.. Farrell. put his veto upon the
proposition. and Mr.. McBride's only
chance was at an end and the band
was not needed.
There Is little doubt but that D.
T. Ham could have been made gov
ernor of the state Of Washington
had he and the Spokane delegation
been willing to swing to him when
they knew there was no chance for
Mr. Mcbride. But Mr.. Ham was n
loyal to his instructions as were the
other delegates from Spokane and
preferred to obey orders and con-
tinue to fight for principle.
Votes for Grow.
Spokane made a fight for Senator
II. d. Grow for supreme court Judge.
but withdrew his name before the
balloting was over. Both the supreme
court nominees are from eastern
Washington. Mr.. Shaw's name for
state treasurer was not presented.
The ticket was nominated practically
without opposition. At one time an
effort was made to give e. c. Mac.
donald the nomination for attorney
general, and the railroad people
would have liked to do so, but II was
found necessary to make room for
Atkinson and, as Mr.. Macdonald had
nothing to deliver. he had to be aban-
doned.
Spokane chose as its represents
tives on the committees: Seabury

F. Morrison, on credentials, and John

"HOGMANAY."
The New Years Festival Of Scot
lands Children.

The New Years Festival Of Scot
lands Children.
In England and America the happi-
est revels for children are over before
Jan. 1, but in Scotland they are just
getting under full Roadway. This GUS
tom doubtless arose from the fact that
the old Calvinists held in detestation
the "popish" celebration Of Christmas,
and it became supplanted by ''Hogma-
nay" usually held on New Years eve.
This euphonious name Is doubtless de-
rived from the old greeting, "Au gui
menez" C'To the mistletoe go''). The
festival is distinctively Juvenile func-
ton, and the children prepare for it
weeks beforehand by memortzing songs
and making ''guisers' costumes.
Housewives lay in a stock Of oaten
cakes and bake a store of 'bridies,"
which they hand out to the children
when they come to the house door to
claim their "hogmanay," crying:
Get up. good wife, and shake your
feathers
And dinna think that we are bcggars,
For we are BARNS come out to play
Get up and gie's our hOgmanay."
This custom of the hogmanay is al
luded to in that most delightful book,
sentimental Tommy" Sometimes
several guisers go around in body
and give mild sort of theatrical en-
tertainment before an appreciative au-
dience gathered beneath the smoked
rafters of the great farmhouse kitchen.

A STRANGE WATCH NIGHT.

The Most Charming of German New
Year Customs.
The most charming of the German
New Years customs is one observed
from time immem0rial in Frank fort
on.the- Main. There at the same mo-
ment the whole city salutes itself,
wishes itself happy New Year.
On the night of Dec 81 all the city
keeps the festival, watching the old
year out and the new year in. Family
parties or gatherings Of friends are to
be found in every house.
Suddenly at the exact moment when
from the great dome of the cathedral
the first stroke Of midnight sounds ev-
cry house throws wide open it's WIN
dows. Forth from the easement lean
all the residents of the town, old and
young together, each with glass in
hand. The glass is raised on high, and
the words of the toast burst on the as
tonished air of night in one massive
tone born Of more than hundred
thousand voices Joined in the cry,
''Prosit Neujahr" ('Happy New
Year.)
The whole city thus salutes itself, in
voking blessing for the coming year
in it's first moment. The sonorous mai.
esty of the sentiment sends out its
echoing clamors for few brief mo-
| ments, then ceases. Before the last
clang Of the twelve from the cathe.
drals dome has melted into silence the
windows have been closed, and the
| hush of midnight settles once more
| over the deserted streets of the CITY,
! Christian Endeavor World.

THE WASSAlL BOWL.

The New 1ear's Potion Of the Sturdy
Saxons Of Old England.
Our hmm ediate forbears were modest
minded, hopeful folk who believed that
what was good enough for the Ro-
mans, the Saxon settlers i'll England
and the royal Tudors was good enough
for them, and New Years eve found
everybody, without regard to age, color
or previous condition, drinking what
called "wassail," in Scotland and Ire
land at later day hot pint or
lambs WOOL and, with slight
change in recipe, came to the United
States in the form of eggnog.
In old England wassail was mixed
in vast bowl from which every one
had as large or small size as his
throat could stand, and it was passed
from hand to hand with the word was
sail, meaning Ito your health The
day before New Years it wasAs well
the custom for groups Of pretty girls
to carry big punch bowl, bound with
ribbons, through the streets, singing as
they begged for the ingredients FOR the
popular fiery punch.
Wassail, wassail, over the town:
Our toast is white, our ale Is brown;
Our bowl is made Of the maplin tree:
We be good folks all and drink to thee
Generous and virtuous parishioners
considered it their duty to provide the
wherewith for a foaming bowl of was
sail to be set before the abbot in the
monasteries Of every shire. This plump
and solemn prelate sat beside the bow
at the head Of the refectory table and
with sense of humor dished out to
the appreciative monks big tlagons OF
what he called, in blessing it, ''pocu

New Year Revolutions.

Don't swear Off and don't swear on.
If you want to stop, quit. Don't go
whining around because you are out Of
luck. The man who is always looking
for luck never finds it. The most sue
cessful men on earth spell luck this
Way-"WOrk." Remember, you have
only about forty years to succeed in,
so don't waste time in moping and en-
vying the other fellow. When you
have crimped and pinched and starved
to save the first 81 600 you will see luck
lingering the latchstring, trying to de-
eide whether to come in or not After
the first $4,000 you will not care rap
whether luck comes in or not. While
you are in poverty luck for the success
full fellow is in capitals-LUCK. When
you have accomplished, when you are
independent, LUCK goes back to low
er case-luck-in type too small to be
seen. There never lived successful
~ man who attributed his success to luck,
and there never was an unfortunate
who didn't.-New York Press.

from house to house to compliment tue

Of the year every stranger entering a
house is required to throw on the fire
small quantities of salt. which are
placed in cups Oh the table for that
purpose. He must then go to the hen

cling most fondly to is the one of ring

Although the poetic figure Of the
gray haired sexton pulling his bell with
might and main in the belfry tower
has been supplanted by the fin de steele
individual who, snug and warm, sits at
a keyboard and reels off the music with
as much ease as though playing 'Mon-
