and patched He walked to the back
door of the little farmhouse and knocked.
The door was opened by a pleasant
looking old woman whose smile betokened
that she entertained no fear of the tat
tered structure confronting her.
well, what do you want, sir?" she
asked him.
"Beef-and, mum, with a bowl of hot
water washed in coffee-grounds. I'm
starvin', mum, and / was just chewin'
up that oak-tree in front of your house
when l saw the tidy shades in your Win
dows, and l thought lady what was so
neat would help weary traveller to get
work"

heard that excuse before. One like you
asked for some victuals to get work, and
when l filled him up and asked what
kind of work he was going to do, he
said he was going to cut holes in the
atmosphere to let balloons go through
easily"
''Culprit! Is it possible? I should
have blown the rags from his spinal
column and applied the horse-whip. I
assure you, mum"
"And another horrid creature, like you
too, got a good meal from me once
SOS he could have strength to get to
work, and when / asked him what the
work was he said he was to bite Chris

After devouring sandwich with two
bites, the hobo replied: I'VE are to
construct building three times higher
than any sky-scraper ever erected"
And what will your particular duty
then be?" asked the kind woman inno-
Gently.
The unkempt fellow did not reply
until all the eatables had disappeared.
Then, as he began to walk away, he said
srnilingly: My duty, mum? Well, to
be honest with you, I'll elucidate. I've
got to go up in an air-ship and shove
the stars to one side, so that the
building can get through. Thanks,

And with that the impudent fellow
disappeared around bend in the road.

Impertinence this time, l believe, is the
complaint. Sit down, please. Miss Reid

came"
Johnnie behaves himself as well as
any boy that isn't a craven image needs
to- said Mrs. OBrien with dignity.
Its a pity, say, if a dacent child can't
spake up for himself once in awhile
without being called impudent by the
likes of her. Yes, know her. Don't
see her from me window every morning
dressed to beat the band, and the tax
payers paying for it? Bedad! And the
likes of her to say my Johnnie is impu-

keeper on the corner, and he has friend
that knows"
isn't this a dreadful shame, Mrs.
OBrien?" said a pleasant-faced, brisk,
young woman who came in quickly and
seated herself beside the caller, appar-
entity unaware of the hostile look in the
visitors eyes. Just think, John O'Brien,
of dragging your poor, Woodworking
mother out just because you can't do
what is right and good for yourself!
And he can be so nice tool" she went on
rapidly, not giving Mrs. OBrien chance
to speak why, the way he can spell
is fine, when he half tries!'
''Our family are all good spoilers" in
teriected the proud mother, as Miss Reid
paused for breath, " and" but Miss Reid,
evidently intending to keep the floor,
rushed ahead:
Indeed. can we'll believe it. / know
too that you never in the world would

doesn't take me long to find out how
child is trained at home. Just because
something didn't please hirn-as if l
had time to try to please every boy in
the rooml-he took it upon himself to be
irnpudent, Mrs. O'Brien. Just think!
Impudent to his teacher!"
The look of panied surprise upon Mrs
O'Brien's face caused the principal to
turn hastily to the bookcase.
In course of the conversation, or rather
monologue, Miss Reid deity transferred
the baby, who was grasping at her locket,
to her lap, where he was enjoying himself
immensely, patting her cheeks, pulling
her hair, and bestowing moist kisses all
over her countenance. Mrs. O'Brien,
wetting corner of her apron, wiped the
grimy little hands, saying alphabetically:
Il was in such hurry had no time to
clean myself or the young ones.
Eyes, know" said Miss Reid SYM
pathetically, land here's this boy, who
ought to be a help to you and doing
everything he could for you to show his
gratitude, behaving SO that he is per-
feet disgrace instead of credit, as he
might be if he tried. You know, Mrs.
O'Brien, no woman with drop of Irish
blood in her veins is going to allow
twelve-year-old boy to sit around and
think he can do just as he pleases and
answer back when he feels like it; now
is she?"

You know Mrs. Corners, Miss Smith,
Her boy is a fright. Well, she said as far
as she could tell from the back window,
she thought Miss Reid had the look of
an Irishwoman and was trying to hide it.

lister an oath or not, those men who worked
at the state prison, when they attempted to-
or actually did register, knew they were

illegally voting and they, therefore, in a
way, are guilty, and they most assuredly
have compromised the state administration,

Those penitentiary guards and officials ac-

late Walla Walla election, managed to crawl
out of their very unpleasant dilemma by
technicality. In other words, they seemed
to have committed the crime they were
charged with only they did not do so in
way that they could be convicted of the act
though they were not to blame for that IF
the published newspaper reports of the way
the men escaped punishment are correct,

POLITICAL POT=PIE

The politicians of this state without re
gard to party will be pleased to learn that
Mayor Dune has appointed James Hamil-
ton Lewis, erstwhile politician of this state,
corporation counsel Of Chicago. Ham is
always to be found in the ranks Of the
'reformers" and yet he is always rabid
Democrat. AS campaigner in this state
for his own reelection to Congress in 1898
he immortalized himself by Juggling statis-
tics in such a manner that the average lis
tener to him almost concluded that figures,
after ALL did lie, but on sober second thought,
the voter made up his mind that figures did
not lie but sometimes the one handling them
lied by Gilmore s watch and on the election
day Jim Ham was chosen to stay at home,
where he would have time to learn figures
better than he seemed to have learned them
while in Congress. He is now flying on the
municipal ownership kite in Chicago, which
landed Mr. Dune into the mayorality chair
he having made an active campaign for
Dunno s election, has been rewarded by be-
ing put at the head of the law department
of that city. Since Mr.. Lewis left Seattle
he has been more or less tied up as corpo-
ration lawyer and it is quite a surprise to
learn that he is now holding an office as
an anti-corporaton advocate Is this another
case Of just anything to get an office?
Frank H. Brownell Of Everett, has been
elected president of the Bar Association of
this state, which indicates that he is still
being pushed by his friends for public favor.
Soon after Sam H. Piles had been elected
United States Senator it was given out by
Mr. Piles closest friends that, F. II. Brown
ell would succeed Will E. Humphrey as rep
resentative to Congress at the next general
election of this state. The announcement at
the time caused widespread comment among
Mr.. Humphrey s friends and no small amount
of discussion among the politicians through
out the state Mr. Humphreys friends in
the meantime got busy and soon they had
so completely headed off the -BroWnell
lineup that, the matter seemed to have died
a borning. 1t is given out however, now
that the selection of Mr. BroWnell as presi-
other move in the way of accomplishing that
piece Of political prophesy on the part OF
Piles in nominating Brownell instead OF
Humphrey for Congress. But be that as 1T
may, it can be said without fear of success
full contradiction that, in the selection OF
Frank H. Brownell as president of the State
Bar Association, no more brainy young law
yer in the Northwest could have been found
or chosen He, perhaps, has accomplished
more as an attorney during the few years
he has been resident of Everett than any
other attorney in the state. He has been
given employment by the big corporations
because he was able to make good in the
courts His success both as a counsel and
an attorney has been just what his clients
