ing with the Galveston disaster-Miss
Barton had directed the activities of
the society in a work Of much beneff-
cence; large sums of money, contrib
uted by the public, were usefully ex-
pended; human suffering was allevi-
ated in many widely separated fields;
and thousands of people were helped
to get on. their feet after they had
been stricken down by. catastrophes
of nature or the operations of war
While by no means minimizing the
beneficence of the work done, criti-
cism began to be heard of lack of
business methods in the Red Cross
work, chief among the criticisms the
declaration Of the society's failure to
make and publish properly audited
statements Of receipts and disburse-
ments. During the Spanish war q
number of business men in New York,
Wishing to cooperate with the Red
Cross work, offered to give the So
ciety all the moneys collected If Miss
Barton would allow them to send q
representative to Cuba to supervise
expenditures and audit accounts.
Their proposition was declined, and
the business men decided to organize
what became known as the New York
Red Cross Auxiliary, the organization
controlling its own expenditures and
at the end publishing detailed &C.
count thereof.
1t was at this time the suggestion
was made, with all the tact possible,
that Miss Barton resign the post she
had SO long honored and her place be
taken by ap tactical business man.
Miss Barton appeared to think favor
ably of the suggestion at first, but
later decided not to retire, obtained a
charter from congress and reorgan-
lied the society. From now ON the
public were made aware of serious
increase Of friction-details need not
be entered into; suffice It, to say the
public rejoiced when discord ceased, a
bill was passed Incorporating the

comment of the need there had been
for reorganization: The American

more than 20 years it has led an ac-
tive existence. How far, short it has
come of the objects for which It was

small fields, where only few gophers
are present. A small steel trap may
be employed, but there are a number
of special gopher traps on the mar
ket. These traps must be set in the
main gopher tunnel.
Carbon bisulphide has been used
extensively for killing gophers. II the
burrows are. large in dry soil, however,
the gas evaporates so rapidly that
much of the liquid is required to kill
the animals and the methods is expen-
sive. If the burrows are small in
moist soil, an ounce of the liquid to
each burrow is sufficient. Pour the
carbon bisulphide over buncn of cot
ton rags or other waste material and
push this quickly into the burrow and
close the opening. All the farmers in
a community, says the Orange Judd
Farmer, must cooperate in order, to
exterminate the pocket gopher. Tn
less they are eradicated from the
neighborhood they will soon come in
and restock the territory.

THE MAN ON j

By SARA LINDSAY COLEMAN


The morning he had dropped down
beside her, as she sat aloof from the
hospital inmates in her special corner
OF the portico, he was awaiting direc-
tons for his days tramp.
She had suddenly felt herself a
ghost chained to a walking cough, but
with strength still! left to creep into
the sunshine and watch the passing of
this vivid, eager eyed, sun Drowned
young woodsman.
His eyes had paid irresistible tribute
to the wistful glance from her eyes,
and when he left, the violets that he
held in his hand as he waited, toying
with them idly, lay on the chair be-
side her. Vaguely moved and feeling
that something III each had crossed
the bar Of sunlight that lay on the
floor between them and touched in
greeting, she had lifted the frail
woodland violels and pinned them on
her gown.
1mpelled by he hardly knew what
impulse, the doctor of the mountain
top hospital had teen watching Miss
Carleton as she read a letter. For
a month he had been watching her.
Women were not much in his line-he
hated the symptoms they poured over
him and fed from them, and their To-
quacity-but the silence of this wO-
man who asked no questions but sat
day after day, her listless hands fold
ed, her listless eyes on the shining
ranges that lost themselves in the sky,
irritated him.
laugh.
The doctor looked at her dumbly.
He hadn't heard her laugh before, and
he wanted to say that he had been
feeling old; that the gray hairs thick
ening in his dark thatch had depressed
him vaguely; bu- that it was all
mistake; that lie was deliriously
young, bubbling with youth and buoy
sncy since-since moment before
when she had laughed.
''Violets," the doctor said maybe
two weeks later. Aren't they COM
ing pretty often? The women here
say you get them every day. I'm
glad they're interested in your affairs
anything is better for them than
bending over those eternal waists they
embrOider."
"To wear in heaven," Miss Carleton
flung in saucily.
And it relieves me from talking
cough to them-I get mighty tired of
talking cough. I'd rather hear about
letters that come every day; rather
smell viOlets-''
Hut Miss Carleton was gone.

TEAM WILL DISBAND
FAMOUS YELLOW KID TEAM Is
FORCED TO QUIT.
Boosters Batted Out of Existence and
Seasons Schedule Placed
in Jeopardy.

After today and tomorrow's games
with Whitman College the famous
Yellow Kid ball team will disband
and the players will go to other places
to finish the season. The team,
which is now the fastest base ball ag-
gregation outside of the Pacific Coast
and the Northwest leagues, is forced
to disDand because of circumstances
over which the players or their back
ers have no control, The overwhelming
defeat administered the Walla nWalla
Boosters last Sunday. when the
Kids knocked two pitchers out Of the
box for total of 20 hits, netting 10
runs, buckled the cinch of dissatisfac-
tion and discomfort among the Walla
Walla bunch notch or two tighter
and the result was that the Boosters"
disbanded and base ball in the garden
city is ION the bum"
With Walla Walla out of it, the
schedule for the season was placed in
jeopardy aud Athena was forced to
withdraw, after having gotten team
together that could have taken care of
itself in any company.
When the team was organized the
prospects of a successful season of
sport was never brighter, but insur-
mountable conditions afterward de-
veloped. Pendleton, one of the best
ball towns on the coast, found it could
not put team in the field and pay
royalty of 25 per cent for use of
grounds. Athena had the promise of
the Walla Waila management to stay
the season through and went in, with
the result above stated. To continue
the season with teams at distance
would be losing proposition.
The members of the Yellow Kid
team are fortunate, In that individ-
ually they can secure places on other
teams for the remainder Of the sea-
son. The wires have been hot for the
piast two days, and already some of
the boys have positions which they
will take after these two games with
the Whitman College team.

VIII Hereafter Engage In Railroad Con-

Joseph McOabe. who has been gen.
eral manager of the W. & @. r. since
1898, has resigned his position to take
effect at ouce or as soon as some Que
can be secured to relieve him. This
announcement came as a surprise to
his many friends and it is with regret
that they learn that he will leave this
part of the country. In an interview
Mr.. McCabe said: 81 have associated
myself with Charles s. Bihler of Ta-
coma for the purpose of doing general
railroad construction work. We have
already secured large contract that
will take us two years to complete
will give up none OF my interests in
Washington, aud will still make
Walla Walla my home, althouch |
will spend the most of my time duriug
the next two years in the East, where
our daughter is in school. 1t is with
much regret that | give up my init
mate business relations with the peo-
pie in Walla Walla. They have treat
ed me fine, aud no man could wish for
anything better than they have ac-
corded me.
Mr.. McCabe is recognized as Que of
the best operating railroad men IL the
Northwest aud has certainly made a
great showing with the w. & G. r.
He has kept it fully abreast with the
development of the country, and has
been an earnest worker for the ad-
vancement of the territory in which
the W. & @. R, lines are located.
