A Story of Beecher.

Henry Ward Beecher had q very
strong dislike to all financial and bust
ness matters. Frederic L. Colver, pub
Usher Of the American Illustrated Mag
azine, the newly adopted title Of Les
lies Monthly relates a good story Of
Beecher's popularity in these matters.
It was in the fall Of 1886. Colver was
publishing the Brooklyn Magazine, and
the method of newspapers in syndicat-
ing special articles was in high favor.
Colver, who had known Beecher for
many years, was urging him strongly
to write a series Of weekly articles on
current events and had offered the
preacher 500 for each article of
newspaper column in length.
Beecher heard all the young mans
reasons patiently and then with char
acteristic humor said: "Now, my son,
you cannot make such articles go.
think the newspapers consider me q
squeezed lemon already. I shouldn't
want to see you fail on my account,
and, besides, you know hate to be
tied down to regular work"
Mrs. Beecher, who was sitting in q
corner Of the famous Beecher study in
the Brooklyn home, said: Henry, why
don't you let the young man try his
plan? He has studied it all out"
To this Beecher replied: "Well, moth
er. you can settle the matter, but he
must do the business with you. I
don't care to be bound to write some
thing every week, and I don't like to
take the boys money"
And 50 1t was settled In favor Of the

NEW SHORT STORIES
m. Due, Didn't Take Place.

The Duel Didn't Take Place.
Ex-United States Senator William r.
sanders. who died recently at Helena,
Mont, was a noted character, says the
Pittsburg Dispatch. During one OF the
hottest campaigns Of territorial days
Colonel Sanders was, as usual, the
leading orator for his party. The lead
er on the other side was a man VINO
was known to be as free OF speech
and as careless of results as the colo
mel. It was an oratorical combat worth
going miles to hear, and personalities
were INDUCED in freely. Though po-
litical opponents, the two had been
associated in many ways. and espe-
cially in the Indian surprise at Camas
creek.
It is stated that on that occasion at
the first Indian whoop the party scat
tered, some taking to the shelter OF the
trees to give battle in the only way
recognized as sensible in combats with
the red men. Some. however, were
not in position to find such shelter.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1905-10-14

Among these was the cOloners antago-
mist on the stump. The only thing for
him was to jump into the creek and
hide under the shelter Of some over
hanging bushes. 1t was not fear-1t
was necessity-but Colonel Sanders
found good use for the incident during
this campaign. His opponent, stung
by some remark the colonel had made,
announced that the insult could be
wiped out only on the field Of honor.
This announcement was made known
to Sanders, and there was great
crowd out at the next meeting he ad-
dressed to hear how he would take the
challenge.
"NIy friends" he said, 81 have been
challenged to a duel by the gentleman
on the other side. AS 1 understand
such matters, the challenged party has
the choice Of weapons. l choose an
Indian war whoop on the banks Of the
Camas creek"
There was no result. The matter
was laughed out Of court, as it were.

Fashion Hints.

It isn't how much money a woman
spends on her clothes, but how much
taste she shows, that classes her among
we'll dressed folk.
Beautiful scarfs and rich feather
boas share honors for wear with light
summer dresses.
Leghorn hats are enjoying great ia
vor at this moment, and some models
are exquisitely trimmed with pink
roses.
A great many white embroidered
hats, embroidered tulles and broderie
anglaise are worn, usually made over

A new color, peacock green, IS fast

curious mustard yellows that were so
popular In Paris few weeks ago.

the gray always gives a delightful re-

adapted to all the fashionable soft ma
terials. but In this case Is made Of
