LNGLlSHMAN'S SENSE OF HUMOR.

7TN instance of the density of the
~ average Englishman's sense Of
humor is related by an American
who has just returned from a tour Of
several months in the British Isles,
says the Baltimore Sun. The Amer
lean was walking along a street in
small English town early one morn
ing holding in his hand a letter which
he desired to mail.
Pardon me-" said the American to
a dignified gentleman whom he met,
but do you know where the postoffice
is?"
Yes" replied the Englishman, pass
ing by.
The Yankee laughed. and the Eng
lishman. turning, asked apologetically:
Il beg your pardon, but did you want
to mail your letter."
NO" said the American controlling
his desire to laugh outright.
The Englishman looked relieved and
bowed a good-morning.

c PEAKER CANNON is a great lover
of green corn. He boards at the
Arlington, and one day took one
of his Illinois farmer constituents to

paid for board at the Arlington, and
Cannon replied, six dollars a day

THE BRIGHT, SWEET WAY.

EOR all the storm md the trouble
j For all the hope and fear
To a rosy land
Still hand-in-hand
Let US walk the bright way, dear!
Over the hills the sunshine
And the sky isNbending clear;
Out Of the strife
To glad, sweet life
Let US walk the bright way, dear!
What is little sorrow,
And what falling tear?
The storms will cease;
There'll be JOY and peace
Going the bright way, dear

SOME GOOD SHORT STORIES.
They Are All New and Are Worth Telling to
Your Friends

ewy man from the western part Of the
State gave the boaster a thrust that
sent him sprawling on the floor.
Like Owen Wister's famous nameless
hero, this Virginian had a sense OF
humor. and as he slowly picked himself
up he turned to the group and drawled:
Gentlemen. I'm ready to acknowledge
that 1 kivered too much territory"

SOCIETY MANNERS.

She was plainly irritated about some
thing and sat pouting as she ate in a
downtown restaurant, and not saying a
word to the man with her, evidently her
husband. Before the luncheon was fin-
ished another man came in. The hus-
pand knew him and called him over to
their table and introduced him. The
woman was then all snnirks and smiles.
Her anger disappeared completely, and
she even included her husband In her
sunny views of life.
That's society manners all right"
said a girl at another table; but did
you ever see anything so foolish. It's q
good guess she wants hat or money
to buy something of the sort from her
husband and is going to pout till she
gets 1t, but what contrast her manner
Is to the man she's never seen before
and isn't likely to see again! It must
look as absurd to the husband as it
does to us. If ever 1 have a husband
I'll not set about 1t that way when I
want to get something out of him.

FOLK SUCCEEDS

1t seems like little determine
ion and push on the part Of
the chief executive officer OF
Missouri is all that is necessary to
cause anti gambling and Sunday
closing laws to be respected il
Missouri the same as other laws.
The Delmar race track, near ST.
Louis, for some time has been in
open defiance of the state law and
the Governors orders.
The Governor had ordered tn,
sheriff of the county to stop the
gambling on races but he failed te
do it, so he ordered a force oi
policemen out to the track. They
were refused admission but prompt
ly broke down the gate aud march
ing in soon had the gamblers on the
jump.
The governor has decided thai
the laws shall be enforced and il
looks very much like they will. We
have always thought the laws oi
Kansas might be enforced equal,
well II those intrusted with thai
duty we're just as determined as tks
Governor of Missouri.

BACK TO BETTER CLIMATE.
Attorney Gull Arrived Home Sunday
From Z Months Visit in Missouri.

Attorney J. o. Gull came home Sunday
night from Missouri. where he and mis-
wife and little daughter have spent the
past four weeks visiting with relatives
and old friends. Mrs. Gull did not return
with her husband, and doubtless will
spend the remainder of the winter in
Warrensburg. A portion of the time was
devoted to visiting with relatives in
Kansas City.
1--WE had very enjoyable visit Mr..
Gull stated to the Herald, but am glad
to be back in the Yakima valley again.
So far the winter has been mild in Mis-
souri,, and the weather uniformly pleas
ant. Last Tuesday at Warrensburg
there was severe snowstorm, accom-
panied by wind, but it was the first bad
storm of the winter. We have spent all
of tine four weeks in Kansas City AMI
Warrensburg.
There were great many changes to
be noted, and the evidence of prosperity
is abundant. Roads and the streets of
the cities and towns have been improved
and great deal of building and improv-
ing of both public and private nature
has been going on. The people generally
seem prosperous, although two things
nave served to lessen the prosperity in
the locality we have visited. One was
a very poor crop this season. and the
other the depression in local circles
caused by the st. Louis exposition. The
merchants complain that the fair has
nurt business to an appreciate degree
by taking away money usually kept at
home, and that people after visiting the
fair and spending large sums of money
were compelled to retrench after com.
ing home. Of course, these things have
some effect upon business, yet as it APP
peared to me there was not much cause
for complaint"

PENMAN AND MABRY HELD.
Charged with Having Conducted a Gam
bling Game in This City.

Thomas Penman and Charles Mabry
were arrested last week on warrants
sworn to by c. c. Porter, G. Williams
and Clay Williams, who alleged that
they staked money and chips in a game
of draw poker conducted in Lund's sa-
loon on the 18th of December--and Incl
dentally that they lost all they staked.
The hearing was had before Justice
Nichols on Friday and Saturday, and re.
suited in holding the defendants to APP
pear at the next session of the Superior
court, the bonds of each being placed at
$500. Oliver Elliott, one of the witness
es, was made to give bond in the sum of
$3.50 for his appearance as witness for
the state at the same time.
The principal witness was Guy Will
liams, a laboring man who has resided
in North Yakima for about six months.
He testified that on the afternoon and
evening of December l7tn he purchased
at different times checks or chips to the
amount OF $50 in the place named, and
staked them in game of draw poker
conducted by the defendants, both of
whom sat in the game. He lost all his
chips. Mr.. Williams gave a very inter
esting detailed statement of how the
game was played, although naturally
the terms were somewhat confusing to
the court and the attorneys. After de-
scribing how he lost his chips ne was
asked if that was the way the game was
conducted in Montana, from whence he
came to Yakima. "No," he replied quick
ly; "they play square game there"
Oliver Elliott and c. c. Porter substan.
tiated the testimony given by Williams,
from which it appeared that the defend
ants were conducting gambling game
in violation of the law. Ira p Engle-
hart appeared for the defendants.

Commends the Proposed Law.

Walter w. Granger of Zillah was in
Tacoma last week, and in commenting
on the proposed irrigation law drafted
by the commission of which he is
member and full report Of which will
be found elsewhere in this issue of the
Herald, said to Ledger reporter; "The
commission has prepared bill for in
PRODUCTION at the coming session Of the
legislature, and the text Is now in the
hands Of the printer. As soon as It Is
of the press it will be placed in the
hands Of the governor, who appointed
the commission. The meeting Of the
commission extended over a period Of
several days, and the work undertaken
at the time of organization IL about
completed. ! do not feel at liberty to
discuss the provisions Of the proposed
law, in view Of the fact That it has not
yet been submitted to the governor, but
I am free to say that it Is what We
consider an excellent measure and will
do much for the promotion Of irriga-
ton in the state"

Will Discuss Irriga ton Code.

Representative w. II. Hare who left
for Olympia last Friday, suggested to
a number of citizens that a general re-
view or study of the proposed irriga-
ton law be had in order that sugges.
tions or criticisms be made in time to be
acted upon by the members of the legis-
lature before tine matter is taken up and
the law enacted. The suggestion met
with hearty approval, and number of
prominent irrigationists are interesting
themselves in the matter. They have de-
cided on holding a meeting in the Com
mercial club rooms on Saturday evening,
January 18th, when an effort will be
made to have representatives from all
parts of the county present. The idea
is good one and may be made Of great
benefit to Yakima county.

the HISTORY OF THREE
COUNTIES IN WASHINGTON
Yakima, Klckitat and Kittitas-Work
Has Been Published and Book
Distributed.

the large volume in handsome and
substantial binding giving the history
of Yakima, Kittitas and Klickitat coun-
ties more fully and in better shape than
the same has ever been presented in any
work of similar character, is now being
delivered to subscribers, all of whom are
highly pleased with it. The book is
printed on heavy paper in large clear
type and carries a large number of fine
illustrations. These include portraits
of men and women VINO were pioneers
Of the three counties, and also scenes
that depict the industrial life and growth
of the country.
As the history of all sections Of Wash
ington has its formation in that of the
old Oregon territory, the compilers of
this work nave considered it essential
to a logical presentation of their sub
ject to outline that interesting period
when the fur company and the Indians
were powers in the land. Therefore
they have devoted ninety pages to the
period of discovery and exploration of
the Northwest territory, making no at
tempt to be exhaustive in this compar-
atively brief space, but endeavoring to
make the most interesting features stand
out wildly and prominently. The Astor
expedition is treated in brief, as are
also the regimes of the Northwest and
Hudson Bay companies, the labors of The
early missionaries and the settlement
of Washington and Oregon. The Whit
man massacre and Cayuse war that fol-
lowed it, the treaty making Of Governor
Stevens and the Yakima war are chron-
icled in detail.
The Yakima war paved the way for
the settlement of the interior and follow
ing in general the chronological order of
events ;the history details the settlement
of the three counties beginning with
Klickitat, the oldest. the history is
brought down to the present time, and
every event of Importance is chronicled
storms, floods, severe winters, crimes,
trials, disasters, etc. County Organiza-
lions and railroad building are reviewed,

Eichenaner Bound Over.

The cases of c. L. Eichenaner, the no.
torious Brownie" of Mabton, who. it
is alleged, sold liquor to boys under age.
came up for hearing before Justice Nicn-
OILS last week. In the case wherein Mel
win Jory was the prosecuting witness,
the justice considered the evidence to
warrant the defendant being held to the
Superior court, and his bonds were
placed at $500; the case in which Harry
Lichty was prosecuting witness was
dismissed owing to the conflict of evil
dence. The case against Frank Martin,
proprietor of the saloon, was dismissed
on motion of the prosecuting attorney.
