The One Man.

A man who was summoned for beat

blame upon his mother-in-law and was
chided by the bench for his lack OF
gallantry.

unkind word to his mother-in-law, new

How Prisoners Read.

TT is rather pathetic" said a prison
chaplain, ''the way our inmates read
their surreptitious newspapers. 1t Is
bad for the poor fellows eyes too.
ut is against the rule for them ia
read in their cells, and in the cell doors
there are peepholes, to which the jail
ers come noiselessly, seeing that all
the rules are enforced.
The prisoner who simply must read
pastes with bit of porridge his jour
nal up against his cell door beneath
the peephole. He sits down on the
floor yard or two away and holds his
dustpan in one hand and his brush in
the other. In this awkward and weari-
some position, his eyes nearly popping
out Of his head from strain, he reads
away for dear life.
"And when the jaller's cold, hard
eye peers in through the peephole 1t
misses the paper and lights up with
some faint appreciation at the sight Of
the prisoner polishing up his floor

Is HAPPY.
Its coming: so is Christmas. -

Did you ever have this bright and
humorous remark cast in your direc-
ton? If you did, you are not the only
one for whenever the boys of fire de-
partment No. 1 ventured a shy specu-
latior. as to when they would live the
manly life in the Rose street home
some one would hand out this: Yes,
the time is coming sonny, and so is
Christmas" Peculiar, indeed. and it
might be termed a coincidence, but
when Christmas does come. the boys
of No. l will be in their new quarters.
The departure of the company from
their old quarters to the elegantly fur
nished building on Rose street, marks
an epoch in the history of the Walla
Walla fire department. For years the
boys fought cold, heat, fire and the in
convenience of inadequate quarters
without even the faintest prospect of
securing a worthy home. Then. sever
al years ago, some over-ambitious cit
iZeLs ventured the remark that a new
city hall and fire station would improve
the appearance of things, especially on
Rose street. The boys then lived in
hopes. The history of the buildings

body knows and especially the fire

longer than the promises but at last
their dreams are realized.
After tomorrow eveLing the men,
bers of department No. l, will receive
ali callers at their new apartments. The
engines and other fire-fighting appar-
atus will be moved to the new quar-
ters tomorrow and the boys will spend
Christmas day in their comfortable
home on Rose street.

UPSIDE DOWN As. USUAL
CHINESE DAYS GROW SHORTER
FROM NOW UNTIL FIRST
DAY OF MAY.

While one Of the important events in
the English calendar year was Satur-
day, the Chinese are none the less
backward Beginning with l o'clock
Saturday morning, December q. every
minute in the day becomes shorter un-
til the first day of May.
Delicately trained mathematically
as the Chinaman's mind was. or at
least as it was supposed to have been
in ancient times, it is nevertheless a
pIZZler to figure out exactly how short
a minute would be at 1853 d. m. April
80. In fact the native of today has
given up the problem in disgust
Saturday was really one of the
Chinese holidays said Charley Ong,
but it is seldom observed with feast
ing in the United States and Canada. 1
do not know wher. the custom began.
and it seems queer to me to think that
the days grow shorter instead of longer
as they certainly do here. / also have
wondered how much shorter each min
ute grows and how short a minute
would be by midnight on April 80. but
no one seems to know, and perhaps
none seems to care"
As near as can be learned from the
local Chinaman. Sunday, February 2,
or thereabouts. is Chinese New Year.
Elaborate preparations are being made
