Suicide with Com fort.

DO you know the only Irishman who ever committed sulcide?' asked w. B. Pollard. You know 1t Is said that Irishmen never commit suicide. and when the argument was advanced in a crowd of that nationality he was so unstrung that he decided to show his opponents that Irishmen do some times commit rash act. He accord ingly disappeared, and the man who employed him started search. When he got to the barn he looked up toward the rafters and saw his man hanging with rope around his waist.
 "'what are you up to. PatT he asked.
 "'Orm hanging meself, begobs" the Irishman replied.
 "'why don't you put 1t around your neckT
 "'Faith, Oi did, but Oi couldn't braythe,' was the unsmiling reply of the man from the Emerald Isle."- Louisville Courier-Journal.

HARD RIDING IN NORTHWEST.
HaIfbreed Who Made 12o Miles In
 Ten Hours.


 You people who came here since the railroads were built have an idea that we used to have bad time of 1t in getting about Washington Terri tory" said the old-timer the other d: .. That's where you are wrong. Distances were no greater than they are now. True, we didn't always go so fast as you do now, but we made speed that would astonish you.
 "I remember one trip an old friend of mine made, big cattle man from Kittitas County, afterward the owner of considerable property in Seattle. His divorced wife was living here. and she took 1t into her head to go after him through the courts for non-payment of alimony. There were number of req sons why he shouldn't pay, but he didn't care to stay here and argue 1t out with the court, so, getting tip on what was doing, he decided to go back to the cattle in Kittitas. About 6 o'clock one evening, accompanied by his horse wrangler, who happened to be here with him, he struck out horseback for Ellensburg. The two rode all night-it was in midsummer and at the full of the moon-and the next morning they ate breakfast in Ellensburg-1O0 miles away. And they didn't think 1t was much of ride at that.
 Rides? Why, could talk all day about rides in those days. One of the best ever done in the territory, however. was that by young half breed during the Neg Perces uprising of 1877. When Joseph went out with his band one of the first things they did was to cut the military telegraph between Fort Lapwai up the Clear water river from Lewiston and Walla Walla. Fort Lapwai wanted to send dispatches to Gen. Howard at the post at Walla Walla, and wanted to send them bad. At that time nearly all the Indians on the reservation had a half breed or at least one pretty good horse in his riding string. This particular young half-breed boy had an extra good one, and he was selected to carry the dispatches, being reliable and faithful fellow. Well, he rode through to ,Walla Walla In ten hours, distance of 120 miles, and during the ride he never slowed down from a gallop. That was in midsummer, and if you ever have been in that Snake river region at this season of the year you can imagine that was some ridlng."- Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

Furniture as a Present.

Since 1t is the fashion to make we'd ding presents of artistic or antique fur niture, brides are taking more into ac- count where they are to live, whether a suburban villa or a tiny apartment in some of the human honeycombs Is suited best to the future income of the happy pair. It is a great idea this. and 1t helps out the furnishing immensely. No shame is felt by the fiances In thus having their housekeeping made easy, and 1t was a matter for note that an English girl of high degree, who mar ried the heir of noble house the oth- CT day, had lovely artistic furniture sent her instead of jewels and curios. There were tables, chairs, corner cup boards and sofas, inlaid and carved, nish a drawing room and other places besides. It was deemed a decided i'm provement on the numerous and cost ly" received by an elder sister on her marriage a few seasons ago, and the consequence is that some other London brides are looking forward to the change with dismay. We can't wear furniture,' cry these helpless ones who adore gauds and wampum, and we would rather not be in the swim" Nevertheless, in England the word goes, and brides must take what they can get and be thankful.-Boston Her aid.

ILLNESS RESULTED FATALLY.
Son of City Superintendent of Schools
Selleck Died After Operation.

The sincere sympathy of everyone
who knew him and his estimable par
ents was aroused by the announcement
last Thursday of the death of Pert Sell
leck, the son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. F. F..
Selleck, which occurred on the morning
of that day at the family home on
North Second street. On Tuesday even
ing the young man was operated upon
in the hope of saving his life, which
was threatened by an acute attack of
appendicitis. He rallied after the op-
Grafton, and seemed to be doing well un.
til the following morning, when death
came very suddenly. He had been a
sufferer from the disease for period of
nearly three years, but was never be-
fore considered to be in a critical con.
dition, nor was it feared that an oper-
alton would be necessary.
The deceased was 10 years Of age. He
was born in Minnesota, reared and ed.
ucated in that state. WITH the open.
ing of the schools last fall he became in
structor in the Fruitvale school, which
he conducted successfully and with
credit to himself up to the time Of
his last illness. His acquaintance, owing
to the snort time he had lived in the
community, was limited, but all who
knew him speak in the highest terms of
praise of his ability and character.
The funeral was held from the resi-
dence of the family on Friday after
noon at 2 o'clock. Rev. H. G. Collins of
the Episcopal church conducted the SER
vices, which were attended by a large
number of friends, many of whom con.
tributed floral emblems and cut flowers
in expression of their sorrow and sym.
pathy. The remains were inferred in
Tahoma cemetery.
