Good Rule Wrongly Applied.

Congressman Adams, at a dinner to
Senator Knox in Philadelphia, spoke of
the exhilarating and cheerful effect of
good food.
Once there was a poor smith," he
said, who wished to marry a rich far
mer's daughter. The smith was ro-
bust, with hard and sinewy hands, and
the girl loved him-there was no doubt
about that-but the question was. what
would her father think of such a
match?
Truly it was not likely that her
father would consent He was a rich
man, and the girl was his heiress, while
as for the young smith, he had, despite
his good heart, and his industry, a slow
dull mind that would quite preclude
him from ever making a name for him
self in the, world.
Before visiting the farmer, the dull
witted smith sought a friends advice.
and the friend said:
m AFRAID the old man will refuse
you for a son-inlaw, but you'll stand
the best chance with him if you ap-
proach him after dinner
After dinner, eh?' said the smith.
Thank you. I'll remember that!'
'And he departed cheerily.
"A day Or two later, looking woebe-
gone, the smith visited his friend again.
s. met with horrible reception he
said. The old man turned his dog
loose on me, and reached for the gun
that hangs behind the stove
THE friend looked surprised.
Had he had his dinner?' he asked.
Its little I know said the smith,
of the old fellows mornings and out
goings. but had had mine

MUST GRAFT SKIN TO SAVE LIFE
Girl Will be Hopeless Cripple Without
Such Aid.

SEATTLE, Wash, March 24.-Carrie

hopeless cripple, and may lose her
life, unless an operation for skin graft
ing is performed without delay. With
her father, John Martin, of Toppenish.

Seattle endeavoring to secure aid from

indignant. Physicians informed the
father that his daughters leg could

the father brought the child to Seattle.
and she underwent an operation. The
flesh that held the limb in an unnatur
al position was severed. The wound
has been slow in healing, and the ply
slclan in charge of the case saws that
skin grating will be necessary in or
der to effect permanent cure. But
the fathers purse was exhausted, and
yesterday he came to Seattle to take
his child home
He was advised not to stop treat
ment at this time, and he told mis-
story to Humane Officer Clark of the
police station, who called the atten-
ton of the charity organization So
ciety to the affair. Yesterday after
noon Miss Anna H. Murray, acting
secretary of the society, called upon
Martin and will devise means of relief
today.
Carrie Martin, is a bright faced lit
tie girl, and in spite of the fact that
she is obliged to move about with a
crutch, enjoys life. She lives at the
Hotel Vendome, and among her play
mates is the liveliest of them all.

laughed. I've been crippled so many
years that I can't remember when I

ATTEMPT TO MURDER AGED
RANCHER FAILS OF ITS
PURPOSE.
Mess of Pork and Beans Nearly Proves
FataI-Six Hundred Dollars of
Mans Money Missing.

Deputy Sheriff James Haviland re-
the ranch of Lou Matthews out on
Snake river where he went Wednesday
night to investigate the reported death
by poisoning of The aged rancher. 1t
was reported in Walla Walla yester-
day that Matthews, who lives pretty
much by himself in the lonely Snake
river hills, had met with foul play and
had been robbed of big sum of
money.
Deputy Haviland found Matthews
pretty lively corpse, although the old
man was rather snaky from the effects
of some drug that had undoubtedly
been administered to him in a mess of
pork and beans. The theory that a
desperate attempt had been made to
murder the old rancher for his money
was confirmed by the fact that $500
Matthews had cached away is miss
ing.
1.-THE old man was undoubtedly
poisoned" Deputy HaviIand said this
morning. Whether it was accidental
or not is a question. Matthews ate
some pork and beans for his dinner
Wednesday and soon afterward ne was
taken deathly sick. In the course of
an hour or so he recovered, although
when I arrived at the ranch he was
still very i'll. Matthews claimed to
have $500 cached away around the
house but 1 was unable to find any
trace of it. 1 asked nim if he wanted
to come to town, but he declined and
said he would stay on the ranch.
Matthews could not explain now the
poison happened to be in his pork
and beans"
Deputy Haviland' had a hard trip of
it, being compelled to drive overland
from Eureka to the Matthews farm,
which is 16 miles beyond Clyde.

AGAINST FAMOUS ScHWA,
BACHER BALL TOSSERS.
Made Next Week-PIay Soldiers
April Second.

The baseball season is to be opened
in Walla Walla next Sunday when the
Walla Walia team will meet the
Schwabachers in a practice game on
the new ball grounds. The first of the
regular series arranged for the sum-
mer will not be played until Sunday,
April 2, at which time the Walla Wal
las will go against the crack Fourth
Cavalry bail tossers.
The ball grounds have been put in
excellent shape and everything is in
readiness for the opening of the sea-
son.
Il believe that 1 have gotten to-
gether the best and fastest bunch of
amateur ball players that ever graced
Walla Walla diamond" said Mana
ger OConnor this morning. while
the weather this week has prevented
the men from good practice, still every
player appears to be in good condition
and the game Sunday with the Scnwa-
bachers will give the local fans an
opportunity of witnessing the work
of the team. The men have all been
tried out and are proving to be very
fast and are handling the little sphere
in excellent shape. I firmly believe
that the aggregation will outshine the
famous yellow Kids that represented
Athena in the league several years
ago."
The lineup of the Wal1a Wallas for
| the first game will be as follows:
Lankard, catcher ; Aubin, pitcher;
Parks pitcher and left field; Bucholtz
pitcher; Tempany, first base; McAllis-
ter, second base; Marion, shortstop
Croker, third base; McCool, center
field; Alexander right field; Harper
Smails and Aubin, substitutes.

An Elastic Statement.

The new reporter in his story Of the
wedding, says the Baltimore Ameri-
can, wrote, 1.-THE floral display stretch
ed from the chancel rail to the doors of
the church"
The city editor in mild manner, as
is the custom of city editors with new
reporters, said:
Couldn't you have used a better
word than 'stretchedY Say the floral
display nodded or 'twined' or some
thing like that-some word more sug-
gestive of flowers"
"'Stretched is all right in this case,'
replied the new reporter, with the
stubborn courage Of realist. "The
decorations consisted of six rubber
plants, and they had to stretch to cover
the distance"

Real Value of College Education.

We are apt to overestimate the value
of an education received from books
alone. A large part of the value OF a
college education comes from the sociai
intercourse Of the students, the re-en-
forcement, the buttressing of character,
by association. Their faculties are
sharpened and polished by the attri-
ton of mind with mind and the pitting
of brain against brain, which stimulate
ambition, brighten the ideals and open
up new hopes and possibilities. Book
knowledge is valuable, but the knoWl-
edge which comes from mind inter
course is invaluable.-O. S. Marden In
Success Magazine.

The UnfeeIing Brute.

Mrs. S. T. Rober, the well-known
culinary expert gave a dinner recent
ly to a cooking class of young mar
ried women.
Mrs. Rorer enlivened this excellent
dinner with a number of stories about
cooking.
Il am making" she said, "a collec-
ton of cooking stories, and some day.
perhaps, I will publish them all in
book. 1 am continually adding to my
stock Only yesterday a new cooking
story was told me by dispirited young
wife.
This young wife, who had never
cooked SO much as beefsteak in her
kitchen, and plunged into the con-
struction of an elaborate and difficult
veal pie.
"'The pie, a strange looking object,
was served to the husband a caustic

said:
