Will Devote Fifteen Acres to Recrea.
tion Ground for People of We.
natchee. To Sell Forty
Acres of Orchard

Through the public spi ritedness of
Phillip Miller, the question of secur-
ing a park has been settled, and
without a cent Of expense to the city
Wenatchee people are to be given
a playground and pleasure resort that
will be a source of enjoyment and
comfort TO the residents OF the valley
and one that will greatly enchance the
beauty OF the city as well as aiding
materially to the value of the real es-
tate in its vicinity.
Mr.. Miller has decided to devote
fifteen acres of the beautiful lands
about his home place TO park purposes
and at an expense ct from ten TO
twelve Thousand dollars will create
a recreation ground such as seldom
is seen outside large cities. A pavil-
lion and dancing floor overlooking a
baseball and athletic tleld Is TO be built.
The land already contains many shade
trees and others will be added THROUGH
which will be constructed winding
driveways. A smooth green lawn dot

and sea ttered here and there will he
fountains supplied by the stream
which give to this lard the best
water right in the valley. In the
evening the grounds will be lighted by
electricity from private lighting
plart. The parsf IL Re of semi
public nature aud will be subject TO
only such restrictions as are necessary
TO insure protection for the trees and
flowers.
IL addition to the large tract Of al
falfa land which Mr.. Miller recently
decided TO cut up into ) acre tracts
he has decided to put on the market 40
acres of his home place, all covered
with fruit trees OF the choicest varle-
ties. from 10 10 20 years old. This
orchard is unIuestionably one of the
most productive III the sllsy and un

FIGHT over QUINCY
WHEAT LANDS BEGINS
Railroad Company Secures Arrest of
One of the Squatters on Tres
pass Charge--0thers Take
up the Fight

The fight is on between the railroad
company and the squatters who few
weeks ago took rtssesslOn of five or
six townships of RAILROAD land lying
south of Quincy. The arrest was made
Wednes iav when L. r. Webster was
taken in custody on warrant sworn
out by A. Johnson charging him with
trespass. johnson has tarmed the
railroad land, had large area of wheat
in this year, but it is believed that he
is acting under orders from the rail
road company.
As soon as Wehsters arrest became
known a few of the leading spirits
among the settlers Immediately visited
practically every sQuatrer and seculed
an agreement from him to 60 il and
fight the matter and make the Web
ster case the test case. Over 200 have
taken up the fight III behalf of Web
ster and last night delegation visited
Wenatchee and secured the service of
a prominent firm of local attorneys in
defending II cir rights.
The fight promises to be long and
bitter one as the land i'll question is
some of the best wheat land in the
state and both sides are determined to
have possession of it The trouble be-
gan on February 26, when a report
reached Quincy that the United States
land commissioner at Washington had
decided that railroad land upon which
the survey had net yet been accepted
could be homesteaded. Immediately
an unprecedented rush began toT the
railroad lands at Quincy whose survey
had not been accepted and for week
q wild scene of land grabbing ensued.

 But I'm not a good actor, my child. You know very we'll I'm really tickled half to death to think you are going to marry Henry"
 But you musn't let him know it. Treat him as if he came to steal some thing"
 But suppose I overdue it, and Henry gets mad and quits?"
 Then I'll sue him for breach of promise, daddy. o, you can trust this little golden-haired innocent. She knows her lesson. If you could kick him, daddy, 1t would be just splendid"
 "Glays, I draw the line there. In the first place I refuse to infict any such chastisement on the son of an old friend, and in the second place every blessed one of my toes is too painfully tender to admit of any such recklessness.

| finished men and women composing the present clan of Markhams. The old farm seldom sees them. The fine old mansion. which Pete MaTkham's eldest son built, some
 times stands for years deserted, while the Markhams SCOUT the world for
 new pleasures and new ways of spending money.
 Each year new streaks of pink granite are uncovered, and hundreds of new Italian laborers exchange the
 sunny slopes of their fatherland for the bleak New England climate, dig ging out the huge blocks of stone. From time to time they return
 with the choicest pictures of the old and modern masters to hang in the
 Markham palace in New York.
 So 1t happens that Markhams has an Italian quarter as interesting as any in New York or Boston; in fact,
 the thousands of foreign workmen and their families compose a very valuable portion of the citizenship of
 Markhams.
 Early one autumn the general
 manager of the Markham quarries re- ceived word that the head of the house would take an early steamer
 from Genoa and spend the month of
 October in the old Markham man sion.
 You will please see to it that the place is put in excellent condition, " he wrote. 'I shall bring with me the

cried the bridegroom, with bitter irony.
 Well, we did, when we decorated your sisters trunks and tied up the horses head with white ribbon," his wife reminded him.
 "Yes, it depends on whose OK is gored," came in an audible whisper from behind them. The groom turned around indignantly. The only other occupants of the Pullman were a couple, past the first bloom of youth, but evidently on very good terms with each other. ..F
 The mans hat was pulled down over his eyes and he was shaking with silent laughter. The woman was looking with self-satisfied smirk at the brides handbag, on which was an overlooked placard decorated with orange blossoms.
 They can afford to laugh" grumbled the bridegroom under his breath. They're safely past this stage of the game, anyway"
 Well, I don't think it's very nice of them" said the bride with flush ing cheeks, "and I suppose we shall have them with us all the way, and they'll tell the porter and--and ev- erybody." She was on the verge of tears.
 The bridegroom looked around sav- agely at the offending couple. He wanted to fight somebody and hoped the man would say something which would give him an excuse. But he only sat there silently shaking which, while it was maddening under the cir cumstances, could not be constructed as a violation O fthe law. Presently the woman with him took of her hat. Wont you put 1t on the rack for me, dear?" she said.
 At this the bridegroom pricked up his ears. There was something in the way she said dear" that sounded suspicious. He turned full around and watched the elderly couple mar rowly. The man, too, was awkward about the hat, and it was evident that he wasn't accustomed to hand ling women's headgear, and-yes. sure enough-there was a perfect shower of rice as the hat fell from the mans clumsy hands to the floor.
 The bridegroom nudged the bride. Then they both doubled over-not in silent but in very audible laughter. After r-oment the elderly couple joined in the laugh.
 'Yes, we've done it, too," confessed the man as he picked the hat of the floor and brushed 1t penitently, and" you see-we didn't boil our rice"

back room, and a physician sum- moned. When she opened her eyes she promptly tainted again, and was taken home in a carriage.
 The next day she was very i'll and the wonder was great. No one could tell the cause, and the contessa her self shed no light on it.
 The general manager, however, possessed a theory of his own.
 Perhaps it should have been stated earlier that the contessa had once had a husband, whose name was never mentioned, chiefly because it was understood that there was but very little that was pleasant that could be said of him.
 The contessa had resumed her maiden name and no one ever pre- stunned 10 refer to the unfortunate marriage
 It was supposed that he had died and both the contessa and Gerald had frequently given place in their thoughts to hope that he had.
 While the entire Markham house hold was in an anxious state of solici- tude for the Contessa Angela's health, the general manager was busy. Near ly a week passed when he one day asked if he might have a few words, privately, with the head of the house, and they entered the private office.

friends. You had better have John the butler in the New York house, come over and attend to the servant question and the provisioning. John has lived with me over here, and he will understand"
 The general manager thanked his stars for John. He had a bad labor tangle to straighten out; but he thought the servant question was worse than the labor problem, and he would probably have resigned had it not been for John.
 But the Contessa Angela was more than delighted that she was to see the cradle of the Markham family. She had American blood in her veins, for her grandmother had once been a beautiful Ohio girl, and had won her grandfather's love when he was an eXiled Count Silrino.
 It was taken for granted in the American colony in Rome that the contessa would repeat history and take an American husband and his accompanying millions. There was no doubt that Gerald Markham loved her more than he could express, and the wedding would have taken place long ago but for one very serious ob- stacle.
 When the general manager real ized that the city of Markham was to receive the head of the house which had given it a name and prosperity he showed how discreet a manager he was. He kept his mouth shut and

WINDS AND DRAFTS.

Prof. Max HerZ, an Austrian scien- tist, has just published an essay upon the difference between wind and draft, which is likely to convince the public that the old-fashioned preju- dice against drafts is not altogether unjustified.
 By draft is meant the currents of air in a ninclosed space. Our fore fathers attributed nearly all the evils that beset them to drafts, and they would not have slept in uncurtained beds for anything.
 Of course, their windows and doors were shaky and houses stood far apart, so drafts were nearly inevit- able. But the modern scientific world tries to deny drafts altogether, and calls them winds, which are harmless and even healthy to a certain degree. pT. Herz says that any one who cares to find out the difference be- tween a wind and a draft can do so in any apartment which has windows on different sides of the house. Let him open a window on a windy day on the side of the house toward which the wind blows. The air which comes in is quite harmless if the person ex- posed to it be dressed in warm clothes, and little children may take the air in a room thus ventilated.
 But let him open window past which the wind blows and it will be found that the air in the room is moved by number of currents, all of which strive to reach the opening. It is the passing wind which sucks up the air in the room and draws 1t out, and this causes the room to have what is called draft
 The effect upon sensitive persons is immediately felt, like the foreiun- ner of pain to come. A draft will all ways be felt as colder than the wind. Very dangerous drafts are those that are reduced in railway cars by the rapid motion of the train.
 l. is not wind that gets into the carriages, but the air of the car which is sucked out A lighted match he'd to the chink of the window will prove
