If Captain Jim Warren hadn't gone
cunning Tuesday morning But he
did go, he and his friend, Captain
Peter Hawkins, with infinite greater
chance of shooting each other than of
bagging game, and they were to re-
turn early Wednesday. In the mean
time, Mr.. Crowley, the bookkeeper,
was to look after the affairs of War
rem & Co, importers of coffee
Wednesday morning arrived with
exemplary promptness, but Captain
Warren did not accompany it. Mr..
Crowley was a good accountant but
he was good for nothing outside of
that line and when the fact become
apparent that Captain Jim had not
arrived the executive of the firm of
Warren & Co, became so harassed
with responsibility that he lay the
case before Mrs. Warren.
Mrs. Warren was a pretty woman,
and she was also resourceful. She at
once informed her sister, Janet, that
she was going down to the Office and
assume the management of the bust
ness until her husbands return.
But, my DEAR objected Janet, you
don't know anything about business -
Nonsense" retorted Mrs. Warren,
cts nothing like as hard as keeping
house. You come down about noon
and we'll have lunch in the Office. It'll
be better than a picnic in the woods
I'm glad it happened murmured
Mrs. Warren, as she tripped her way
to the wharf, it'll do Janet good to
come down, poor thing" AS a matter
of fact Janet was mopey. She had
been engaged to be married to Frank
-,
was Captain Warren. The match was
eminently suitable from whatever
point of the compass it was viewed
and the problem of a trousseau for
Janet was troubling the brain of Mrs
Warren, when a cloud arose on the
horizon of the pairs relations which
hurled the bark of love a wreck on a
lee shore. 1t is useless to go into
details. Mrs. Warren Loyalty upheld
her sister and stigmatized Mr.. Strong
as a wretch. Doubtless Mr.. Strong's
sister, if he had one, would have es-
poused as loyalty her brothers side
and declared Miss Janet a f1irt. Be
the fault of the break where it be-
longs, Mr.. Strong began assiduous at
tentions to another lady and Janet
wept copiously and moped.
Captain Warren, who viewed these
tender emotions from a grossly ma
terial standpoint, declared living on
one chocolate cream a day was no way
to conquer unrequited love and sug-
gested a diet of pork and beans, a
prescription which was treated with
merited contempt by both ladies.
"Jim," said Mrs. Warren to her hus
band, don't sell anything to that
wretch, Frank Strong; don't speak to
him"
Captain Warren promised readily
His idea of navigating the matrimo
NAL ship was to promise whatever he
was called upon to promise and trust
to luck that his wife would forget
about it.
Mrs. Warren found business unexcit
ing. 1t was a dull day and the few

Rich and Rare Were the Gems She Wore.
Rich and rare were the gems she wore
And a bright gold ring on her wand she
bore;
But. OH her beauty was far beyond
Her sparkling gems or snow-white wand

So lone and lovely, through this bleak

Are Erin's sons so good cold,
As not to be tempted by woman or gold?''
.'Sir knight, I feel not the least alarm,
No son of Erin viii offer me harm:
For, though they love women and golden

One she went, and her maiden smile
In safety lighted her round the green

And blest forever is she who relied
Upon Erin's honor and Erins pride

you mean to say that my husband
sold Frank Strong some coffee?"
''Why, yes'm, he did, replied Mr..
Crowley, land the drayman's come
for it,
ooh, the perfdy of that man."
groaned Mrs. Warren, after promis-
ing me. Won't he catch it when l
see him.
Shall 1 deliver the coffee?" asked
Mr.. Crowley.

Whistler as a Critic.

A new Whistler story is told by
friends of Miss Pamela Smith, the
young American artist who has made
a reputation abroad by her original
work in color and black and white
Miss Smiths designs, while they show
uncommon Imagination, are technical
~ crude, and a friend of hers who
knew Whistler, was anxious to get his
opinion of them. She took the port
folio of Miss Smiths illustrations to
the painter and waited anxiously as
Whistler examined them.
He looked them over carefully, and
remarked gruff1y, "She can't paint"
Then he went through them again
And she can't draw"
A third time he looked through the
portfolio, pausing thoughtfully over
each sketch. But she doesn't need
to- he concluded.-Harper's Weekly

people who called were handled by
Mr. Crowley, without recourse to the
pro tempore executive in the private
Office, and Mrs Warren found herself
longing for Janet and lunch hour.
Then crisis occurred. A burly dray-
man handed Mr.. Crowley an order
and he came in the private Office with
it
Here's an order from Mr.. Frank
Strong for hundred bags of coffee
the captain sold him last Monday. I'll
deliver it to the drayman-"

BIG BEEF FROM
COLLEGE FARM
Aaron and Moses, Products of the
College Farm, to Supply Christ
mas Beef for Spokane

The Washington State College will
supply the "show' beef for one of the
Spokane markets next Christmas. The
college experiment farm has sold Mos
es" and Aaron, twin steers, for
Christmas "show" beef, at a price
which shows that it pays to raise and
feed blooded cattle in this country
While common beef are selling at from
1925 to $2.75 per hundred pounds,
Spokane marketmen have contracted TO
pay the state college cents per pound
or more than double the market price,
for these tow steers, which have been
the pets of the college farm hands and
the students in animal husbandry for
more than two years. The two steers
were two years old last summer. They
are fine specimens of cattle, and are
making record breaking growth.
They were shown to Governor Mead and
party when here last week, and at
tracted much interest and favorable
comment. Moses, the hornless steer,
weighs 1860, while Aaron weighs 1880.
eve expect to make them weigh at
least 100 pounds each by Christmas, "
said Professor Elliott, who is the head
of the department of agriculture in the
state college. This will bring the
young steers among the heavyweights
of the country, for year old steer
weighing 400 pounds is considered
"big one, and a steer of any age
weighing 100 pounds is monster
These steers are from a Polled Durham
bull and high grade short horn COW,
ahow the benefits of blooded stock.
They are silly kept in prime condi-
tion, are easily handled, and make
much larger cattle than scrub stock, -
said Professor Elliott.

The Empire of Dollars.

Wall street is the capital of the en-
pire of dollars. Like all other capitals,
it has it's intrigues, its favorites, its
duels, its cabals and its camarillas,
and, like all other capitals, it gives its
color to those who spend their lives
there. 1t has even a sort of patriotism
-"wolf honor'-which brings It's citi-
zens together at times in defense of
the dollar and Of property rights. The
empire of dollars is not altogether a
noble spectacle. We are not thrilled at
the mere thought Of those Venice bank
ers who financed" the crusaders. We
do not like to think Of those Wall
street manipulators who tried to corner
the gold supply during our civil war
when the nation needed gold.-Samue
Merwin in Success Magazine.

A Bit of WestmoreIand.

The Westmoreland hills are the re-
mains of an infinitely older world
giants decayed, but of a great race and
ancestry. They have the finish, the
delicate or noble loveliness-one might
almost say the manner-that comes of
long and gentle companionship with
those chief forces that make for natu-
raj beauty, with air and water, with
temperate suns and too abundant
rains. Beside them the Alps are inhu-
man, the Apennines mere forest grown
heaps, mountains in the making, while
all that Scotland gains from the easy
enveloping glory of its heather West
moreland, which is almost heatherless,
must owe to an lnfinitude Of fine
strokes, tints, curves and groupings, to
touches of magic and to lines of grace,
yet never losing the wild energy of
precipice and rock that belongs of right
to a mountain world.-Mrs. Humphry
Ward in Century.

FOur Good Reasons.

An amusing incident happened the
other day at a club which had hOspi-
tably thrown open its doors to two
other clubs. A certain we'll known Off
Ger in the brigade of guards was guilty
of the offense of smoking In the morn
ing room. AS a matter of fact, he was
under the impression that it was the
smoking room. A brother officer told
him of his mistake. He went up to the
only other occupant of the room, an
old gentleman doing in a corner, and
apologzed for having inadvertently
broken one of the rules of the club
The old gentleman replied, without
haste, as follows: MY dear sir, pray
do not apologize. In the first place,
am sure you would not have smoked
had you known that it was prohibited
in the second, should be the last per
son to blame you if you had done so
in the third, am not a member Of tn,
club, and in the fourth, have jus
been smoking myself. London Globe
