BOSTON

"Ill have some pork and beans"
says the hungry one.
"Spokane!" shouts the waiter.
Washington replies the cook.
And there you are.
What is it has made Spokane
famous all over America?
The chamber of commerce
claims the distinction as does also
the publicity committee and the
10000 club.
But they're wrong. It's beans.
If you ask people in some parts
of the United States what Spokane
Is they'll tell you Pork and beans"
for this is due to walters altogether
who have done more in bringing
the name Spokane" before the
public than any other class, cor
poration or individual.
Pork and beans, as delicacy,
are said to have made Boston,
Mass, famous, but the fame of
Boston from this source is small
compared with the fame Of Spo-
kane as spread by the wandering
waters Of the country.

CLUB BURGLAR
KNEW PLACE

1t has developed last night that
in addition to the loss of $S5, a
diamond pin and gold watch by
Alex M. Winston, George Stoney
lost $35, a suitcase, tennis suit and
two pairs of trousers and Jack
Williams lost a suitcase, two pairs
of trousers and 81 in the Country
club burglary.
Investigation of the Country
club premises showed that entrance
to the annex had been obtained by
cutting away the screen on a rear
window.
The opinion is expressed by
Chief of Police Waller that the
burglary was committed by some
one familiar with the premises.
Mr.. Winston is particularly sor-
rowful over re loss of his gold
watch and locket as they were par
ticularly valuable from associa-
tons. He offers a reward of $50
for it's return and for the arrest
and conviction of the robbers he
offers an addition $50. Draper's

low the scent until they struck the

TRADE OF EGYPT
FOREIGN CAPITAL BUILDING UP
COMMERCIAL ENTERFRISE:;
American Manufacturers BegiH.ii &
to Reach Out After This FiaId
with Good Pres
poets.

Egypt. the ancient land of Biblical
stOry, is just now Offering 10 the world
of trade a field for exploitation which
! presents many favorable features for
the exporters of other nations. In
| many things she is no less conserya-
tive to-day than she was in the days
when Jacob used to send his sons to
her TO buy corn during a famine in
Palestine. IF you want my produce
says the modern Egyptian, come here
and purchase il: if you want the TO
buy yours bring it to my house and |
will examine it," He buys and sells
on the old conservative lines. but to
the energetic exporter he gives prom
Use of becoming an important factor
l. he is approached in the proper way
and worked" skilfully.
Egypt always has been and still is
a purely agricultural country. Her
produce is required by all other coun-
tries and the Egyptian cutivator is
well aware Of that fact. Just as in
the ancient days under the guidance
OF Joseph he made the FIST corner in
the worlds corn. so at the present
time he makes corner on his own
individual account. At the present
time the Egyptian cotton raiser is lit
orally sitting upon his bales and hold
ing out for high prices. He can afford
to wait, but the intending purchaser
cannot, and the Egyptian knows 1t.
Foreign capital has been slow IN
making an invasion of Egypt. but
iC in lDr
aid under its influence trade is ad-
vancing in bounding leaps. Before
tie British occupation there were. ex-
elusive of the Suez Canal company
and two banks not primarily estab-
linhed in Egypt. only u companies in
which foreign capital was invested.
Their combined capital can be ascer-
tained. but it was not extremely large.
From 1882 to 1857 nine commercial
companies. with a combined capital
c. $5,O0O.00O. were formed. Between
1889 and 1891 three more were foated.
with combined capital of s3.OOO,.
eco, and in the next four :cars the
humber was swelled to 13 new com
ranies. with total capital Of $30.-
C0O,OC0. After the battle of Atbara in
1898 foreign capital began to see the
advantages Of the Egyptian field and
flowed into it with a rush. European
manufacturers followed the stream of
gold, and to-day the trade of Egypt
has become prize well worthy the
pains necessary to secure its control.
The American manufacturer is just
beginning to take steps to capture at
last fair share of this trade Their
distance from Egypt and the cost of
transportation are, no doubt, serious
handicaps for American exporters. but
with the advantages held by American
manufacturers in the production of
goods and the superior quality of their
products these disadvantages lose half
their terrors.

g! wish 10 inform you that the
Cuticura Remedies have put stop to
twelve years of misery l passed with
my son. As an infant l noticed on his
body red spot, and treated same
with different remedies for about five
years, but when the spot began to
get larger ! put him under the care Of
doctors. Under their treatment the
disease spread TO four different parts
OF his body. The longer the doctors
treated him the worse it grew. Dur
ing the day it would get rough and
form like scales At night it would
be cracked, inhamed and badly swol-
len, with terrible burning and itching.
When l think of his suffering it near
ly breaks my heart His screams
could be heard down stairs. The suf-
fering CT my son made me full of
misery. l had no ambition TO work,
to eat, nor could ! sleep. One doctor
told me that my sons eczema was
incurable, and gave it up for a bad
Job. One evening | saw an article in
the paper about the wonderful Cuti-
cura and decided TO give it a trial

had used the first box of Ointment
there was a great improvement. and

DoN'TS FOR THE NURSERY.

Don't try to make your children
walk too early. otherwise you will
have all the difficulties of bow legs to
contend with later on. Babies that are
allowed to stand much on their feet in
early life invariably suffer for it after
wards.
Don't forget that one cannot begin
too early to teach a child to be honest
in all things. Show your children that
you never doubt their honor, and you
may take it for granted that they will
not disappoint you.
Don't, under any provocation, ever
box childs ears. A great deal of the
deafness so common to-day is direct
ly traced to the sharp boxing on the
ears, which parents, nurses and school
masters of the past used to indulge in.
Don't experiment with the food and
care Of children. Study the subject
carefully.-Cassells Saturday Journal

"RE RAN OR LAWYER"
But There Was Doubt as to Whether
He Had Ever Caught
the Office.

A man from Pennsylvania went to
Vineland on a business errand. The
town was strange to him, and he was
unacquainted with the man Ia lawyer
he had gone to see. The directions he
received were so indefinite that he
found himself on the elge of the town
without having come to the house he
sought Then he met an old negro
and asked the way of him and learned
that the house lay about a quarter of
q mile farther down the road
"The man / want to see is law
yer he said to the old man. ''Is this
Mr. Dash down the road a lawyer?'
'He amt no lawyer that l ever
heard tell Of" answered the negro.
You're sure?"
The old negro scratched his head in
deep thought. Then CLEAN Of re-
membrance lighted his eye.
Now | think OF 1t, boss he said,
