He Placed an Order.

A small, sharp faced boy, one Of
whose eyelids had an inclination to
droop in a chronic wink, entered a
tailor shop in upper Broadway, ap-
preached the proprietor and silently
handed him button. The tailor took
it and looked puzzled.
"What's this for?'' he asked. 81
don't want it. I've got plenty of but
tons.''
"Dat's all right" said the youngster.
"But yer want business, don't yer?"
Yes

1t Was Still There.

The story is told of a clergyman,
who, after he had finished his sermon,
heard one of his congregation say,
Eyes it was a good sermon, but he
stole it,"
A short time afterward the preacher
called on the man, resented the accusa-
ton and asked him to retract what he
had said.
II am not" answered the man, "like-
ly to take back anything that I have
said, but in this case 1 will, for on re-
turning home and referring to the book
whence I thought you had taken your
sermon, found that it was still there"

Witchcraft In tine Nineteenth Century

Most people believe that witchcraft
among civilized people ended when the
'Salem witch mania" ran it's course
and died out in the year 1892 1t did
as far as America is concerned, except
among savages, but in other countries
the belief in the superstition did not
die until much later date, even if it
can be truly said to be dead now. In
France an Old beggar was tortured to
death as late as 1907 ON the charge of
being one who ''communed with evil
spirits" and in Spain witch was
burned in 1903. In 1850 in France
man and his wife tortured a suspected
witch to death, and nothing at all was
done with them by the criminal courts
on account of the lingering belief in
sorcery. Four years later a witch was
drowned in England, and in 1860 one
was burned in Mexico. In 1874, 1879,
1880 and again in 1889 witches were
publicly burned in Russia, and even
as late as 1890 regular judicial trials
Of witches were had in Prussia, PO-
land and Austria-Hungary.

NORTHERN PaCIFIC
CHANGES SCHEDULE
Takes Off Trains 81 and 32Runn-
ing Between Moscow and
Spokane.

a decrease in passenger business
during the winter months has caused
the Northern Pacific to discontinue in
definitely one train each way, taking
off the train on the Moscow Spokane
run, known as No. 81 and No. 32.
The down train made its last run last
night, the one to Spokane being dis
continued after this morning. Two
trains per day each way are still left
on the Lewiston-Spokane run, which
are probably ample to handle the pas
senger traffic at this season of the
year.
In taking tbs one train off, the en-
tire time schedule of the line will be
changed, although it is not yet known
what the new schedule will be, except
that one of the trains Spokane bound
will pass through Pullman at about
seven O'Clock in the evening, connect
ing at Spokane with main line trains,
and the time on the Palouse run will
be such with two trains each way that
1t will be easy to make the trip to
Spokane, and have time for the trans
action Of business in that city and re-
turn home the same day.

. The big contest is over and practi-
cally all awards made.
There were eight colleges represent
ed by judging teams, "a contestants in
all. Iowa State College, Ontario
Agri. College, Missouri Agri. College.
Ohio State Univ, Kansas Agri. Col
lege, Texas Agri. College, South Da-
kota College and Washington State
College. Iowa entered six men, one
who judged in horses alone and alter
mated with one of the other five who
judged in cattle, sheep and swine.
Missouri entered eight men, switching
three of them into the horse class,
where they were strong, and removing
others who were weak in that class.
This of course gave these teams an ad-
vantage over team of five straight.
There were two distinct classes in
the contest, one for horses and the
other cattle, sheep and swine. A large
silver cup was given as trophy to the
college whose team did the best in
each of these classes, Iowa winning
the cup for the best score on horses
and Ontario for the best score on cat
tie, sheep and swine.
The contest started at 7 80 a. m. on
Saturday, Nov. 80, and lasted until
. 80 p. m. There were three rings of
each class to be judged and placed.
We were allowed Is minutes for
placing each ring and three minutes to
give oral reasons on each ring.
Tuesday evening a business meeting
OF the students was held, after which
we adjourned to banquet, where we
spent two or three hours iu most
pleasing way.
Yours sincerely,

WHITMAN COUNTY SUNDAY
SCHOOL CONVENTION

The annual convention of the Whit
man County Sunday School Association
was held IN the Presbyterian church at
Falouse, Dec. and 6. The prooram
had been we'll prepared and the sub
Jects presented were discussed in =
very Interesting and helpful way.
lhere were about fifty church and Sun
day school workers from different
parts OF the county in attendance.
The number of visiting delegates was
not as large as was expected and the
program was worthy of larger inter-
est on the part of the Sunday schools
Kew. c. j. Bopple, field worker for
the Eastern Washington and Northern
Idaho Sunday School Association
aroused much interest in various lines
of Sunday school work Mr.. Boppel
is new man in this field but his en-
thuslasm and earnestness are inspiring.
Those who neglected to attend the con-
vention lost an opportunity to meet a
worker who is both able and willing
to give helpful instruction in this
work.
1t was the earnest desire of those
present that there should be a more
hearty cooperation of all the Sunday
Schools of the county and, if such CO.
operation can be secured it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that the work will in
crease rapidly in success and efficiency.
The greatest difficulty in the wav
of progress seemed to be the inability
of the county officers to get any re-
sponse from the officers of the local
Sunday Schools. The new county Off
GERS earnestly desire to secure the con-
fidence and cooperation of every Sun
day School Superintendent and teacher
in the county. These officers are
worthy and the success of the work
will be in proportion to the support
they receive from the various local
officers. This work is so important
that no one should be satisfied with
anything less than the best results.

sible, the cooperation of every schoo
in the county. the convention voted tc

4. Southwest district. The presidents

basketball at the College.

I aSKetDall at the college.
The basketball season was opened
last Thursday by the interclass tourna
ment. The game between the Juniors
and Seniors was fast and furious and
it was doubtful until the final whistle
which side would win. The Juniors
managed to pile up 13 points to 10 for
the Seniors.
The rivalry between the two teams
was so great that the playing at times
was very rough, the Juniors being.
called for Is fouls while the Seniors
only suffered TO-, The Seniors made
four points of the Is tries while the
Juniors made three from ten tries.
The second game of the evening was
even faster than the first. The Fresh
men played an uphill game during the
first half. being behind until the last
few minutes and when time was called
the score was l3 &c 10 IN thei rav0r.
In the second half the Ills put up
fine class of basketball, doing some
stunts in passing that rival the var
sity. Calhoun was easily the star of
the game. making twenty of the points.
Dalquist was the star performer for
the Sophs, making some good shots.
Two of the longest and prettiest shots
of the evening were made by Root,
the Freshman forward.
On Saturday evening the gymnasium
was crowded for the deciding game Of
the series between the Freshmen and
Juniors. From the showing the
Freshmen made against the Sophonor-
es everyone expected to see them win,
but the famous fighting spirit"
turned thesgame to the Juniors. At
the call of time the score was even up
IL to II, and in playing off the tie,
Lampson made the prettiest goal of
the evening from one corner Of the
floor and the game was over.
Every man on the Junior team
starred, especially the guards, who
held the Freshman forwards to one
basket. Dinsey held Calhoun down to
four baskets, which is good work when
playing against man with such an
eagle eye for the basket as Cal. has.
The Freshman guards also did good
work especially Patton, who was in
the game every minute.
/ The 1911 girls set a good example
for their brother Freshmen by defeat
ing a team picked from the other three
classes by score Of to 3. The game
was we'll played and very exciting and
showed that we should have a girls
team this year that can defeat any
team they meet. Miss Pocock upheld
her reputation as a player by shooting
the only two field goals Of the game.
Miss Lampson made all three points
for the picked team by goals from
fouls, only missing one try. The pass
ing of the Freshman girls was very
good and especially so that Of Miss
