Life short doth seem,
Love by the way;

Fashion comes and fashions 90,
'Tis true, if you'll but think,
For once again, w0Sp to have,
The dear old skating rink.
Only one person is worse than the
tattler and that is the man or woman
who lives without saying a good word
for anyone.
All laws are worthless unless they
are enforced. The only way to make
laws effective is to elect men who will
do their sworn duty.
One of the greatest griefs in q mil.
liners life is the woman who picks on
. $26 hat, and wants one patterned
after it that costs $2.49.
The woman who says that she has
the best husband in the world never
gets so far as to venture the prediction
that she will be able TO locate him in
Heaven.
1 think the law preventing imbe-
Giles from getting married, advocated
BY few writer's, is a good idea, even
ii it comes too late to do some of US
any good.
Olympia has q girl of very little
feeling. l have noticed she never

Gifted Washington Writer: "Yes,

Husband: "Well, after he's dead,

The most laughable scene I have
witnessed in many years occurred in
Olympia Sunday. A woman weighing
at least $50 pounds riding q horse,

"The Silver Grill" That city also
has another "grill" of interest, yet
altogether in another line. IL is q
"pure politics grill" and is known by
