Faint not, fond youth! The hug thai
she
Doth on the dog bestow
II may, In truth, be meant for YOU:
1t often happens so!
A pug, pa, a cat, an aunt,
Are proxies very oft,
When maids demure do love a man,
And feel exceedingly soft"
The youth so fond, he grew as male
And rigid as a log;
And said: II wonder II the kiss

He had words or smiles for them all,
His friends, his foes and-the rest;
But for one that he loved, no word,
No smile, not a cool hand pressed,
Nor sigh; but an empty Jest.
Yet there at the heart Of his heart,
The fire burned, warm and wide,
While the welcome upon his lips.
For the guest who did not abide,
stammered, and sobbed. and died.

From the monthly report of the Sec
rotary of the reading room, we find
that there were l47l readers during
the month ending April 9th. The
greatest number of readers at any one
time was %. Also % persons have
found employment through the medi-
um of the employment bureau. A
number of these were girls, for which
we make no charges. Some farmers
and others will occasionally come into
the room and hire men away from the
secretary without Offering word OF
thanks or paying Il nickle to help the
institution along, and Others have gone
so far as to beat the room out of its
dollar fee, after they have been furn-
ished with good men, but the saying is
that ut takes all kinds of people to
make IA world" The association is
having a phone put in principally to
communicate with the farmers. Our
object is to help the farmers to good
men and TO help good men to get en-

some times. but We will assure You that
it, will be on account of our ineXprrl-
ence. HOBBS and deadbeats are hard

To School Officials Teachers and Parents.

An editorial in tho Walla Walla
Statesman OF the 18th of April quoting
from an alleged Miss Murdoch and
commenting thereon is tissue of ma
licious misrepresentation. It's publica
ton was doubtless secured by some I'M
scrupulOus rival for it's effect on pend
ing adopti0ns in Washington. Our
capital stock is stated at sixteen times
its real amount 1t is matter of pub
lie knowledge that we have only a
moderate share of Chicago business.
The incident alleged to have occurred
when Miss Murdoch PROCESSES to have
been in New York private school
never occurred nor anything similar
thereto. These three main misstate'
ments are characteristic of the whole
libelOus and scurrilOus article. We ap-
peal to the educational authorities in
the counties and cities of Washington
to Judge our hooks on their merit and
ourselves on our dealings with them
and not allow themselves to be mislead
by libelous falsehoOds circulated by our
rivals and others
