Men and Their Hats.

'sWell, well,0 remarked a leading
halter the other day, everybody has
smiled at the vanity of women as
they take long and fond glances at
their reflections in the store win
dows, but woman is not marker
for the ordinary man. The uglier
man is the longer it takes him to
suit himself with a hat, and the
oftener does he look into the glass
while buying one. I have an Tn
usually unprepossessing customer
who would exhaust the patience OF a
Job. He came into the store the
day after the styles arrived and con-
sumed two hours and ten minutes
in getting hat that pleased him.
! The next day he returned the hat
and had one made to order. This
man is SO ugly that nothing could
improve his looks but a mask. =

A REALISTIC Joke.
The Way IRVING and Tocls AstonishsA
q Scotch Waiter.

q
. Scotch Waiter.
Sir Henry Irving used to tell with
glee of joke that he, with Mr..
Toole, the comedian, and third
party, played on one occasion at .
Glasgow hotel.
After their work they were sup
ping at the hotel, and there was IN
the room a high screen. The IN
slant the waiter was gone they com
menced operations. They stripped
the silverware, of which there was 0
tolerable supply, from the table and
placed it behind the screen. They
then opened the window and turned
out the gas, and finally all got under
the table.
The jokers had only to remain in
their cramped position few min
utes before they heard the unsteady
feet of the waiter along the passage.
The darkened room amazed him,
and the cold air from the window
seemed to strike him with alright.
Goodness exclaimed he. cts
thieves they are. | thocht as much

gay talk and their lauchin'. Ell, but
Pm a ruined man! / wish Iehadna
taken the hale o. that last bottle!
Here! Here! Thieves! Thieves!
Murder! Thieves! Thieves" And,
shouting at the top of his voice, he
ran out Of the room and along the
passage.
The minute he had gone the 9th
ers shut the window, lit the gas, re-
stored the silver to the table and sat
around as before, enjoying a quiet
cigar.
Presently there was a confused
murmur along the passage. It grew
louder and louder, and in poured a
truly motley throng, mostly hall
dressed, consisting Of the manager,
two men in bare legs and slippers,
and lady with blanket, caught up
in the alarm of fear, followed by
the agonized waiter.
One man was armed with a poker.
and another carried bronze statue
ready to hurl it at the thief. As
they entered the merry trio all sat
back and looked at them with well
feigned amazement, and Toole said
to the astonished and bewildered
manager:
'Do you always come in this way
with your friends when gentleman
asks for his bill ?"

Pitts Sarcasm.

In 1906 Pitt called a meeting OF
the British militia colonies to con-
slider his additional force bill. Some
objected to the clause which called
them out under all circumstances
and argued that this should not be
except in case of actual invasion"
'1Then, said Pitt, Ssit would be too
late" Presently they came to an
other clause, when the same OBJ
jectors insisted on the militia not
being liable to be sent out Of the
kingdom. Except, I suppose said
Pitt, with cruel sarcasm, sin case OF
actual invasion.

club and other shapes is something
new in the Spokane country, says the

new acre tract proposition 16 miles
cast Of the center of Spokane.
The farm is not like those Of early
colonial days, where the farmhouse
was factory for everything made. The
farm contains only about four acres
but with diversity farming brought to
a high state Of development. it NAV
become quite a worthy farm despite
its size.
The owner of this farm and cigar
factory is John L. Anderson, for some
years cigarmaker whose home and
factory were at Montgomery avenue in
this city, but Mr.. Anderson decided to
go to the country. At Valleyford he
found transportation facilities salts
factory, and tract of ground which
suited him.

Indians After Stolen Horses.

Minthorn and Captain Yum Sumpkin
are in Baker City today, These bucks
of the Umatila tribe swear they will
be avenged upon the white thief who
has robbed them of their cherished
racing ponies and they expect to have
the aid of Sheriff Taylor or Pendleton
very soon.
According to the story told by the
braves two white rustlers took the
ponies from the reserve several days
ago. They tracked the thieves this
FAR and last Friday saw the ponies in
the possession of one man in Baker
City They accosted him and demand
ed that their horses he returned, but
the order was ignored,
Last night the braves telephoned
to Sheriff Taylor and according to
them he has promised to join them

horses.-Baker City Herald.

While the matter of the co-educa-
tion of Japanese and American chill
dren in the public schools of Oregon
is not an issue in this state, yet it is
one of the remote possibilities of the
future and Governor Chamberlain,
while in Washington d. c., has voiced
the sentiment of the sttae upon that
subject.
The election of the japanese chill
dren from the public schools of San
Francisco and the strong objections
made by the school board of the Bay
City to the co-education of the races
has brought the question prominently
before the nation and eastern people
are anxious to sound western senti-
ment upon the subject
President Roosevelt in his recent
message to congress sounded what Is
supposed to be eastern sentiment upon
the subject, and It may be said with
equal truth and weight that the ex-
preston of Governor Chamberlain in
Washington yesterday clearly por-
trayed western sentiment. A WASH
ington dispatch to the Oregon Daily
Journal OF last evening says:
THE west is unalterably opposed to
Joint occupancy OF public school
rooms by japanese or Chinese and
our white children" said Governor
Chamberlain of oregon today. I'VE
are also against admission of Chinese
or Japanese coolies. The present
controversy over the Japanese has as
sumed a phase which calls for appli
cation of. more common sense than
has been manifested in some quar-
ters. The Interpretation of treaties
rests solely with the courts, and GER
tainly not with the executive branch
of the government, through the mill
tary, as President Roosevelt threat
ems.
at appears to me that the admin
istration is inconsistent in attempting
to force association in the public
schools of an inferior race with white
children, when here in the District of
Columbia there is a system of separ-
ate schools for whites and negroes.
let the president and congress
demonstrate here the theory of such
association before trying to force OBJ
jectionable policies on the people of
the Pacific coast"

Yakima Needs School Houses

The school facilities of the city
have reached their limits There are
now about 200 children not attending
school on account of the lack of
room. No place can be provided for
them. The enrolment is larger than
ever before and it is growing. The
compulsory law is not being rigidly
enforced on account of the lack of
facility.
The amount of bonds that will be
voted on will be decided by those at
tending the mass meeting. The pres
ent bonded Indebtedness of the district
is $4,000. This amount can be in
creased to 100000 before the limit
Is reached. As the money can be OBJ
tanned from the state at per cent in
terest the cost to the district will not
be heavy. 1t will probably require
about $4,000 to make the proposed
improvements.
1t Is now contemplated by the board
to erect an eight-room building on
the Central school grounds. adioin-
ing that building on the north. An
other building is contemplated for the
Columbia grounds on the west side.-
