OUT of THE
SHADOWS
BY Fannie Heaslip Lea

Copyright. 1906. by RUBY Douglas

In the gentle current of Miss Sarahs
life by far the widest eddies were
Paola's love affairs. Miss Sarah had
never had lover herself-she had al
ways been too busy taking care of
Paola, who was the younger sister, a
slim, pale creature, with vivid eyes
and head that habitually dropped a
little as though weighted by it's own
gold hair and sense of languorous
melancholy.
Beside Miss Sarah's old time cour-
tesies PaOla was as an orchid to a
pansy, but underneath the melancholy
was certain irresponsible deviltry,
certain intangible witchery, that
brought the most eligible youths of the
neighborhood in suppliance to her feet
and filled Miss Sarah with unceasing
wonder and amazement
Whenever a new victim appeared
upon the scene Miss Sarah thrilled
with apprehension. AS he was friend
ly, she approved Of him; as he was
more conspicuously attentive, she
watched for him; then in gentle per-
pleXity that never vanished with add
ed experience she saw him hover, ad-
vance, retreat, hover again and plunge
When the little comedy was played
out she took UP her knitting with a
sigh of relief, opened her volume Of
Felicia Hemans at the purple book
mark and prepared to rest before an
other siege.
Paola herself slipped from one emo
tiOnal cataclysm to another, as the
slender moon from cloud to cloud.
They yelled her vivid calm for a mo-
ment, but she always emerged I'M
fettered on the other side.
She had been wearing Francis Lock
woods roses for month, when Miss
Sarah one night, after three gentle calls
unanswered, stepped through the long
French window on to the mOonlit We
randa with crimson scarf in her hand
The June night called for no such
guard against it's close, sweet warmth,
but on the subject Of damp and dew
Miss Sarah was inf1exible.

A hooking bird in the cedar by the
gate gurgled liquid impertinence that
ended in low call to his mate, but
the rest was silence

then down at her feet.
"Paola must have this scarf" she
said to herself sternly, land suppose
she is sitting on the bench by the
Black Prince-the most imprudent
childw That the Black Prince was a
beloved rosebush saved Miss Sarah's
remarks from their apparent impro-
priety, and, mindful Of her steps, she
hurried into the path that led to the
Black Princes domains across the
lawn.
The moon burned white above her In
q cloudless sky, and Miss Sarah re-
sponded delcately to the influence of

boyish eyes, called = her as she went
slowly down the path, and young faces

THE WEIGHT OF WARSHIPS.

The changing style in warships is
evidenced by the deduction of the
battleship Texas from CUR list Of
fighting vessels. The Texas is not yet
II years old At the same time comes
the information that Admiral Dewey's
flagship Olympia which gained fame in
Manila bay is to be reduced to a naval
training vessel because there is no class
in which she fits for maneuvering or
fighting purposes, although Dewey ap-
pears not OF have had any difficulty in
that direction.
years ago secured the destruction and
sale for scrap of vessels which repre-
scented a first cost of $4,000, 900, but
which had been outgrOwn. The con-
struction of naVies is thus seen to
merely keep pace with their detruction
by the tooth of time and the change Of
style, with nothing allowed for the
waste of war.
The most recent triumph of British
naval construction is the Dreadnaught,
an immense floating fort bristling with
guns which will carry destruction for
ten miles and which has not only the
strength of a leviathan, but the speed
of yacht. But apparently the Dread
naught served merely as a copy to be
surpassed. The naval constructor of
Italy who claims the Dreadnaught was
built from suggestions dropped by him,
has already addressed himself to the
task of building a warship which shall
outrival the English triumph. His
ideal is a ship little faster than the
Dreadnaught and carringy 1876 inch
guns, which will use 1880 against the
Dreadnaught's $50 pounds of powder
per charge. The most ingenious part
of the Italians plan is his evolution of
a scheme whereby these huge batter
les may be made to act in unison in a
broadsde, thus greatly enhancing the
chances of hitting distant object.
The limit in weight and size of bat
tleships evidently has not been touched
at least not theoretically

He was very practical, and in order
to have everything fair and square be-
forehand he said:
"You know, darling, I promised my
mother that my wife should be good
housekeeper and a domestic woman.
Can you make good bread? That is
the fundamental principle Of all house
keeping"
Eyes; went into a bakery and learn
ed how to make all kinds Of bread"
She added under her breath, Maybe"
"And can you do your own dressmak-
ing? I am comparatively poor man,
love, and dressmakers' bills would soon
bankrupt me-"
"Yes," she said frankly. II can make
everything wear, especially bonnets."
"You are a jewell he cried, with en-
husiasm. 'Come to my arms
"Wait a minute: there's no hurry"
she said coolly. Its my turn to ask a
few questions. Can you carry up coal
and light the fire Of morningT'
"Why. my love, the servant would do
that"
Can you make your coat, trousers
and other wearing apparelT'
But that isn't to the purpose"
"Can you build house, scrub floors,
beat carpets. sweep chimneys"-
Il am not professional"
Neither am I. 1t has taken most Of
my life to acquire the education and
accomplishments that attach you to
me. But as soon as have learned all
the professions you speak Of I win

THE GOOD OF THE WHOLE.

1t is to be regretted that the music
committee of the fair association saw
tit to contract with an outside band
for the music to be furnished at the
fair grounds this fall There is little
doubt that the selection of the Walla
Walla band would have pleased at
least four-f ifths of the people of this
city and county who have been en-
gagged for months talking up the idea
of patronizing home industry
But since the committee has decided
TO overlook the splendid local musical
organization for reasons satisfactory
to the committeeman. if not to the pub
lie, it is much wiser to accept the de-
feat and the slight gracefully and
make the best of an unpleasant bar
gain. For the sake of the fair, in the
success of which every person in the
city and county is vitality interested,
the controversy should be dropped.
The Statesman desired the engage
ment of the local band, as did the
great majodity of Walla Walla citizens.
But it desires more the unqualified sue
cess of the fair and deprecates any
move which may tend to injure the
county exposition. For this reason it
is advisable to pass by the action of
the committee and keep on boosting
the great enterprise An act of retalia-

FOR BUGGY PEDDLERS."

Judge Wilson's decision granting
an Injunction to the Spaulding Manu-
featuring company enjoining the agents
of the Inland Empire Hardware Deal
er's association from interfering with
the buggy peddlers,' is only partial
victory for the itinerant hawkers.
There's just enough left for the smooth
representatives of the association to go
ahead in the fight to break up the
nuisance.
The court enjoins the defendants
from interfering with the peddlers, but
explicitly states that defendants, or
their agents, are not to be barred from
soliciting sales for themselves.
About the only things the chasers
of peddlers may not do are to hunt
coyotes when they're hunting peddlers,
carry rifles when selling buggies or use
indiscreet language when knocking
a pedders sale.

THE OREGON LESSON.

Over in Oregon they are taking things
philosophically' as the news comes that
a shortage of the wheat crop in that
state is a certainty. Unlike Walla Wal
la county many of the Oregon coun-
ties have reported crop failures and the
newspapers of the state are using the
shortage as an object lesson which
should lead farmers to raise other
things than wheat. In an editorial on
the subject the Oregon Journal says:
THE shortage in the wheat crop sea-
son of eastern Oregon on account of
the hot winds will not be as great as
was reported last month-which is
usually the case when crop failures are
anticipated in Oregon. Yet good
many farmers on the lighter soils will
have light crops, and will suffer not
only from this cause but because they
put all their eggs in one basket" and
raise nothing but wheat Most Of the
land throughout Wasco, Sherman, Gill
liam, Morrow and Umatilla counties,
as the Dalles Optimist remarks, will
raise other crops besides wheat; and
the sooner our wheat raisers take to
diversified farming the better it will
be for them and the community. And
even on the farms where hay, alfalfa,
vegetables. etc, cannot be raised, a
small bunch of sheep or cattle or hoes

can be kept And a few brood mares.
giving a lot of colts for sale each year,
is a good investment. We are told that
many of our farmers this year will
save their faces by cutting their wheat
as hay and selling it to the sheep men
at about So a ton, and at that price the
demand exceeds the supply"
"a bumper crop Of wheat that
brings a high price may not be the
best thing for farmers in portions OF
the upper country, for it encourages
heavy expenditure and neglect OF d.
versified farming. So a short crop
some years should not be an un-
mixed evil Even if wheat is the main
crop, other products should be raised.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-08-07

ton will not harm the individuals put
will iniure the fair. A boycott of the
fair by the labor unions, such as Is
talked of, would work irreparable loss
to the county and the association anu
be injurious to the city.
The Statesmans advice to the mem
bers of the band and to the unions Is
to place civic pride and patriotism be-
fore an desire for revenge. Lay aside
the individual feeling and work Tor the
good of the whole.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-08-07

The different national unions Of the
country are fast adopting the plan to
abolish the big conventions and trans
act business by mail and the referen-
dunn. 1t is a wise plan and will save
money. In addition a referendum
would prevent hasty endorsement of
such resolutions as were ra1lrOaded
through at labor temple last Sunday.
