! ALL wABBLY IN THEIR WALK.

Nobody in New York walks
straight" said the gray head citizen
of the metropolis. Watch a score
of pedestrians on the sidewalk, and
not one OF them sticks to a straight
path. Those deviations are not always
due to the crowded condition of the
pavement either. During the rush
hours man is supposed to dodge
this way and that in his efforts to
make progress, but when given a
clear road there is no excuse for SO
much sidetracking. Yet no matter
how favorable the conditions the
New Yorker zigzags just the same.
He might have stretch of sidewalk
a block long all to himself and be
perfectly sober, yet in that distance
he would veer from curb to stoop line
and back again several times"

could see she was real kind of trou-
bled. She always did think good
deal of Lemuel in spite Of everything.
The next day was New Years,
and in the afternoon Mehitable came
in again. She didn't have her sewin'
as she generally did, she was very
Industrious woman. She jest set
down and began twisting the fringe
of her shawl as if she was real ner-
vous. Her face was puckered up,
too. II don't know what to make of
Lemuel," said she, finally.
"Why, what's the matter?" said I.
He says he's made resolution
for the New Year." said she, and
that he's goin' to keep it."
"Well, what is it I" said 1.
II Dunno" said she.
''Well, if it's good one you don't
care, do you :" said I, and it couldn't
be anything but good one if my
BROTHER made eit.--- il.
/ dunno what it is, +" said she.
Won't he tell 7"
"No, he won't. I.can't get a word
out of him about it. He don't act
like himself
Well, / must say never saw such
a change as come over Mehitable and
Lemuel after that. He wouldn't tell
what his resolution was, and she
couldn't make him, though she almost
went down on her knees. 1t began
to seem as if she was fairly changing
characters with Lemuel, though she
had spell of bein' herself more'n
ever at first, tryin' to force him to tell
what the resolution was. Then she
give that up, and she never asked
him where he was goin' an he could
come in my house an set jest as long
as he wanted to, and she bought him
short-tailed coat and some store col
lars and shirts, and he looked like
another man. He got to stayin' down
to the store nights an talkin politics
with the other men real loud. I
heard him myself one night and !
couldn't believe it was Lemuel.
Well, Lemuel he never gave in,
and he never told till the next New
Years day, when he said he would
tell. He'd said all along that he'd
fell her then.

OUR FARMER BOYS.

One of the most prominent facts in
our social developments has been the
number of farmer boys who come to
our large cities in search of fortune.
As a rule, they are an ambitious
and energetic class, with strong bod
les and firm wills that usually carry
them on 10 final success. 1t would
astonish great many of us to study
the biographies of our most success
full men, and find how many were
reared upon farms. 1t would seem
to us as if the generations brought up
in our cities never amounted to any
thing, or that they were always push
ed to the wall by the ambitious country
boy OF course American cities are
of very recent growth, and their popu-
lations are to a large extent gathered
from the surrounding country. But
nevertheless the fact remains that the
enterprising and progressive element
has always come from the country,
and that every city needs the con-
slant supply of farm boys to prevent
it from becoming backward or sta
tionary.
It has often been asked why the
farmer boy leaves his home for the
city. Ambition in most cases is said
to be the explanation. He feels that
there are grand possibilities in every
city, and that life on farm is too
slow and quiet. Others ascribe this
city fever to the hard work which the
boy is forced to do on the farm. 1t
is said that too many farmers work
their sons as if they were hired men,
and all the work possible must be got
out of them. They do not seem to
think that boy cares to do anything
else besides work. The boy wants
to live full life, partaking somewhat
of its pleasures and of its culture.
But while the farmers girls are al
lowed many of the re6nements Of
their city cousins, everything is
thought too good for the farmers
boys. When the rest of the family
are seeing visitors in the parlor, the
boys are shut up in the kitchen with
the hired man. They are often looked
upon as interiors, good enough to fol-
low the plow, and highly useful and
ornamental in harvest time, but so
far as social and mental culture is con-
cerned they are never thought Of.
The result is that the farmer boy is
sometimes awkward and ungainly shy
and diffident in the society Of stran-
gers, and always painfully self-con-
scious of his rough hands and rusty
boots. Now if the farmer who works
his sons so hard, would make up his
mind to give them little enjoyment,
little opportunity to cultivate their
social instincts and their taste for the
finer things of life. he would find that
they would not be leaving him SC
soon for the city.
They have their high hopes, and
their keen intelligence tells them that
they can do better than submit tc
drudgery on farm. But if life or
the farm is made something more
than work for them, if they are made
sharers in the re6nements Of cultured
homes they will not look so longingly
to the great cities. If farm life i:
made pleasant for the boys, they will
carry out their ambitious undertak
ings at home, and not seek so readily
the trials and struggles of city life

TIE ARAR sTEED-

An Arab steed of pure breed would
probably be outpaced in race by an
English thoroughbred, but in other
respects it outshines its western rival.
1t is so docile that it is treated by its
owner as one of the family, and it has
an iron constitution, for it sleeps out
at night without covering or shelter;
Nature protects the Arab horse
with a thick, furry coat, which is
never touched by brush or comb and
which falls off at the approach OF
spring. when the body and legs, which
had been shaggy as those of a bear,
again resume their graceful beauty
and glisten in the sun like polished
marble. London CHr0ntele.

could command availed him little
against Jack Blakenship, the heavy
weight in their six-round bout at the
Walla Wala Athletic club last night
and after Rogers had been battered
around the ring and taken the count
a half dozen times the referee gave
the fight to Blakenship. Rogers is
clever boxer but his science was moth

opponent and he was in trouble from
the start. Rogers was knocked down
two times in the first round, and in
the succeeding round was forced to

THE BOARD TO MEET SUNDAY.
Will Consider Plans of Architects fo
the Building at Portland.

OLYMPIA, Wash, Feb ia
special meeting of the Lewis and
Clark exposition commission of the
state of Washington will be held at
the Donnelly hotel on Sunday night,
at which time plans submitted by
architects for the state building will
be formally received.
President j. J. Smith today re-
ceived advices from the exposition
management at Portland concerning
the change in the site allotted to the
state of Washington for a state build
ing. OF the original site, which was
145 by $50, only $50 by 100 is avail
able for building purposes, owing to
the slope of the ground. 1t will be
necessary to grade part of the site IN
order to obtain that much space.
The original specifications were
subjected to alteration as soon as
the changes in dimensions were COM
municated to the commission, and in
stead of the Washington building
having four wings it will have but
three.

NAY PASS 0STEOPATH BILL
HOUSE COMMITTEE WILL RE.
PORT FAvoRAsLY UPON
MEDICAL ACT.
Senate Committee Is Considering the
Three Tax Commission Bills In
trodueed in Legislature.

OLYMPIA, Wash, Feb. 1S.-Tne
house committee on medicine and
surgery and hygiene has voted to
recommend for passage S. B. 81,
which is better known as the osteo-
path bill, over which there has been
discussion among the medical fra
ternity.
The bill provides that all practition-
ers of osteopathy shall be subjected to
the same examination as regular,
eclectic and homeopathic physicians,
and shall meet the same requirements
of whatever kind before the state
board of medical examiners. 1t also
gives the osteopathic branch a rep
resentation of one on the board.
Many of the osteopaths opposed the
measure for the reason that it re-
quired the examination. They hold
that only such examinations should
be made as would demonstrate their
ability to diagnose disease. A motion
to so amend the bill was made BY
Booth at the last meeting of the COM
mittee, but was laid over.
The joint committee on congress
sional apportionment met to take up
the two bills pending before the COM
mittee looking to congressional divi-
sion of the state, but no action was
taken. Another meeting will be held
next Tuesday night, when the bill will
be disposed of.
An informal vote was taken at the
meeting which resulted in seven IA
voring indefinite postponement of the
bills, and six in favor of recommend
ing favorable action on at least one.
A majority Of the joint committee,
however, was not present.
The senate committee on revenue
and taxation held an important meet
ing to consider the three tax COM
mission bills before it.
The Reid bill has already passed the
house, but the senate committee has
not yet passed on any Of the meas
ures.
The bill by Senator Graves of Spo-
kane, has many friends in the commit
tee.
Ex-Representative Joseph H. East
erday, of Tacoma, author of the tax
commission measure, passed at the
last session of the legislature, and
subsequently vetoed by Gov. Mcbride,
was present and spoke in favor of the
Reid bill before the committee.

COUNTY GETS s8tl7i't37|
REPRESENTS THE QUARTERLY
APPoRTIoNMENT OF STATE
SCHOOL FUNDS.
Attorney Atkinson Holds That State
Current School Fund.

Waila Walla county's portion of the
state apportionment of current school
funds for the last quarter amounts to
the tidy sum Of $S171.37 and the
amount will soon be in the hands of
Treasurer Hawley for distribution
among the various school districts of
the county. A question was raised as
to the legality of the method pursued
in the apportionment off the school
funds without the legislature having
first directly appropriated the money
for the purposes, but Attorney Gen
eral Atkinson rendered an opinion
that a direct appropriation is entirely
unnecessary and the state treasurer
has apportioned the various amounts
under the old system. The appor-
tionment made to the various coun-
ties in the state is as follows:
