cause they persisted in protesting and

There lives in Olympia a certain
lady who makes it a rule when she
attends a gathering connected with
her church organization TO be on hand
early and remain till the end. Her

rocks and gushing volcanoes. The
company, We think, did very we'll un-
der the circumstances, and the price of
admission was so low as to justify the
rejoinder "What can you expect for a
shillin'?" If it did not fill the bill
from a tragic point of view, it certain.

people to regard it from a iarcical
standpoint.
