stars when the cook came running up
to ask:

''Nobody's going to eternity" he re-
piled, as he tried to smile.

Cooky reluctantly descended the
stairs, and five minutes later the
lightning house cleaner descended to
the Darlor. There was a grin of an
ticipation on his face as he looked
around him. Here was real house
cleaning and no makebelieve. All the
damage he had done upstairs was to
break a pane of glass, knock the cor

Ten minutes later Mr. Bowser was at
work. So far as his experience had
gone, taking UP carpets was the prin-
clpal thing about house-cleaning. He
began in the family bedroom. The
dresser and chairs were rushed into the
storeroom, the pictures whirled off their
hooks, and the bedstead came down
with a crash when it came While the
pieces were being picked up the cook
made her appearance and askad:

He got his fingers under the carpet
at one end Of the room and gave a
heave. and in about minute the COW

throw out of a back window.

explained, with a bland smile, while

Just why the Hoquiam base ball team
has been named "Graham's Kittens" we
are at a loss to understand, unless it be
to claim some sort of relationship with
the Tigers, of Tacoma; but as the name
has been given by one of the players
through the medium vi his paper, we
will accept 1t.
Well. the Kittens met the Senators at
Electric park yesterday and defeated
them by a score OF to 8, which should
have been to 3. With men on second
and third, Graham sent fast grounder
just inside the third base line clear to
the fence, and before it could be felded
the two men crossed the plate, Graham

seemed to be easy chances. Gillespie
was on the spot for Hoquam and allowed
only five hits; he seemed to be in better
form than last Sunday, though he was
wild at times, walking three men and
hitting three. Porter, Oympia's new
pitcher, gave but three hits IN five
innings, but in the next three-what a

and three singles. 1t may be was too
