IN FINE
CONDITION

Hardly ever before in the history
of Spokane have the paved streets
Of the city been in as clean a con-
dition as yesterday and today.
Street Commissioner Roy was de-
luged with compliments on all
hands today for the work of his
department.
The street flushers and a new
street sweeper were responsible
for the condition of the streets.
The new sweeper, which the city
purchased some six weeks ago, was
put on the streets yesterday. The
sweeper is six feet wide and oper-
ates with one horse. 1t will do
the work of five men and carts, and
this number of men and carts were
laid off yesterday.
Twenty-Five sprinklers are in
operation now and three more viii
be put to work soon. About 1870
gates for the hydrants have arrived
and will be installed.

WINNER

said he'd rather draw pictures even
if he couldn't make so much money.
However, l told him to drop me a
line any time he went broke, and
l would exchange cash for ideas
and that l didn't wish to lose sight
of him.
Well, Willie blew in today with
an idea that gave him $1,000 for.
"Mr. Beefham," he said, "you
folks put up canned chicken, why
not canned partridge, canned phea-
SAINT, canned wild duck, canned
venison?"
Percy, knock if you wish. I don't
know why l never thought of that
before. l was on, and nearly tore
my pockets out to get $1,000 for
that idea. That seems big, of
course, but that idea is worth $780,
900 if it's worth a cent We can
use the stuff that won't pass mus
ter for homeless chicken, and peo-
| pie will think it's the natural
game flavor.
'Now, to make it good" said
Willie, drop a shot or two in every
can of game fowl and slug in the
venison can. or course, few
people will break teeth, but they
won't mind that in their satisfac
ton in knowing they have had the
real game"
Get busy, Percy. Willie is work

LETTERS FROM A SELF-MADE
PACKER TO HIS SON.
Paris, June Z, 1906.

Paris, June 7, 1906
Dear Percy:
Imagine my surprise today when
Willie Brush called on me at the
hotel. You remember Willie, don't
you? He Is the young artist your
ma met somewhere on the bridge
whist and pink tea circuit. Willie
is the only real sane man, or boy,
I ever knew who played those mat
inees. While l never heard him
say so l have it pretty straight
that he toured them for the pur
pose of meeting a female art en-
thusiast of 40 or more whose hus-
band had money, and I guess it's
true, for shortly after he met your
ma he cut out the assassination Of
afternoons. Willie talked to her
good deal about art for arts sake,
| impressionism, realism, tone, per-
spective and other stuff, and your
ma took notice. When he said he
wanted to go to Paris to finish his
art she came straight to me and
told me must stake him to enough
to send him there and keep him
for couple of years.
Now, when 1 was a youngster,
Percy, | used to put penny in the
Sunday school collection to help
save some Hindoo, but l had never
contributed to a sport fund that
was to be used exclusively for an
other mans sport, and naturally |
baked. | told her to send him to
me so l could look him over, and
she did.
Young man, l said, by way of
breaking the conversation gently,
how much will it take to send you
to Paris and keep you there two
years?"
"About $4,000" he said.
"Humph," l growled, "do you
think I'm going to give you that
much money!"
mo, | don't" he said. whats
more, | wouldn't take it if you did
give 1t to me. And if you sent for
me to talk about that I'll have to
be going. But if you have a minute
to talk business I'll give you that
much of my time"
| noticed right there that Willie
didn't wear long hair and 4S.inch
neckties and he and began a bust
ness talk. When Willie and I sery
