Reflections Of a Bachelor.

After a man gets to know enough
not to be married and have a lot of
children he has already done it.
The job of trying to keep a wo-
man happy all the time is nearly as
easy as inventing that flying ma
chine.
Heaven will be terrible disap-
pointment to some women if any
body outside of their set is allowed
there.
A woman's idea of an enemy is
one who laughs out loud when you
walk down the church aisle with
a new hat on.
1t is never too hot for a girl to
think that going walking with a
man in the moonlight is good ex-
ercise for her complexion. New
York Press.
The late Judge Albion Tourgee, +"
said a veteran illustrator, had a
hearty contempt for your social
portrait painter-for the man who
places the commonplace trump be-
fore his canvas and turns out a
picture of beautiful woman in a
toilet of the greatest distinction.
Judge Tourgee used to tell of
a millionaire friend of his who led
him, one evening after dinner, to
a large new painting.
Portrait of my wife. by So
and-So, said the nillionair. It
cost me FIVE thousand. A beauty,
isn't it9
II is beautiful, said Judge
Tourgee, but, he added lowering
his voice so that lady might not
hear, it is rot a portrait of your
wife. There is no likeness what
ever.
Oh, said the millionaire, if
I had wanted a likeness I'd have
had her photographed. "a"

REFUSED 4 PARDON
Jack Richardson Will Have to Serve
Term in Prison.

At Olympia yesterday Governor
Mead denied a pardon for Jack Rich
ardson, serving three years in the
state penitentiary for assault upon a
young Seattle girl.
The petition was presented by Mrs.
Christopher Richardson, who recently
married Richardson while the latter
was confined in the King county jail
the wedding taking place unknown to
the sheriff. Mrs. Christopher Richard
son was in Olympia and presented the
petition personally and wept copiously.
During the conversation with the
governor the executive recalled that
five years ago, at Ferndale he mad. as
prosecuting attorney, secured the con-
viction of Richardson on a similar
charge, although the jury rendered
only a verdict of simple assault.
You won't hold that against Jack
will you?" pleaded the wife.
NO." said the governor, but i
can't help thinking about it."
The governor told her that he is sat
isfied that three years is not too great
a punishment for the crime.

1.-THE Christian" Given Last Night at
the Park Theater.

The players now performing at the
are the new managers Of this popular
playhouse Messrs. Herbert and Mont
gomery. Last nights reopening proved
all this.
A packed house greeted the company
last night. The play given was
Hall Gaines celebrated drama THE
Christian one of the strongest ana
most difficult plays on the stage.
The play in the hands of the Park
players was successfully interpreted
in a manner highly satisfactory to the
large audience. At the end of each act
the applause given the performers was
both hearty and liberal. In fact last
nights entertainment was one of the
best seen in this city in many days
and demonstrated the fact that COM
pany of capable players are now hold
ing down the boards at the Park.
The players VINO especially disting-
uished themselves last evening were
Miss Ruby Lindsay as Gloria" and
Frank Montgomery as John Storm"
Others in the caste took their respect
i've parts well and helped in the pro-
duction of we'll balanced perform
ance.
The first performance of THE
Christian" being such an out and out
success the probabilities are that the
Park will be crowded during the bal
ance of the week. 1t is safe to say
that those who attend The Christian"
will not be disappointed in anyway
for the play is intensely interesting
from the rise to the fall of the curtain.

LAST DAY OF HARD WORK
Queenan and DonneIIy Ready for To-
morrow Nights Fight.

A few spectators who happened to
drop into Jack Donnelly's training

ternoon, saw bruising battle between
the Seattle fighter and Cecil Olson, son
IF Alvin Olson, the restaurant keeper,
who is boxing daily with Donnelly
while he is preparing for his fight with
Perry Queenan at Armory hall Friday

Olson and Donnelly boxed four
rounds at a clip that brought the
claret from Donnelly's nose and caused
the Seattle fighter to remark at the
end that kid will make some of these
professionals get in and dig" While
strictly an amateur Olson is a hard
man to handle and walloped Donnelly
about in a way that was delightful to
behold. Donnelly and Queenan fin
isned their training today and ex-
pressed themselves as ready for Friday
nights fray at Armory hall. Dom
