TOM TRAVIS

Tom Travis, an express wagon
driver for years has been a familiar
figure on Howard street, near the city
hall. The other day he found the
following lines written on a slip of
paper held down on his wagon seat
by a stone:
Old Tom Travis Of Howard and Main,
Who does the hauling for the Occur
d'Alene,
Is known from Riverside to Front.
He delivers your pocketbook or trunk,
Whether you're sober or awfully
drunk
And Tom and his old black horse
Are known at every street they cross
With his winning ways and horses
gait
To any train they'll not be late.
In sunshine, rain or snow
To any city place they'll go.
He asks but little in this world of
woe,
So give him your work when you
come or go.
Toms a pioneer of old Spokane,
Who wishes well every man.
SO gather your things in pile.
Tomll take care of them all the while.
While bidding your friends au revoir
He'll carry your things to the station

Athletics in education has done

SEATTLE. Wash, Aug, 19.-At
2 o'clock in the afternoon of July
25. our party of II women and 20
men set out from the Mazama
camp for the climb to Rainier's
summit. each bearing a canteen
and a flask of brandy, with a ban

sandwiches swung from the belt.
We carried Alpine stocks and had

work was to cover the four miles
OF steep uphill through the snow
fields and glacial ice, and to get
into our sleeping bags at Camp
Muir as quickly as possible after
sunset to prevent freezing. At

GAMBLING HOLES AND HOMES

The gambling hells of Saratoga are
wide open.
Here men and women congregate
at night to eat $50 dinners and to
risk, to gain or lose, at the games
they play.
Men and women who have naught
to do but to sleep by day are certain
to play by night.
Those who play by night, when

Because these men and women are
of the Swell Set" their crimes are
forgiven them. If they win or lose

heroes and heroines.
From among these men, without

Quantity is not always quality; and
