FATHER WORKED OVERTIME
BUT FAILED TO KEEP UP WITH
DAUGHTER ONLY TWENTY
MILES AWAY.

CHARLOTTE n. c. Aug. 30.-Pur-
sued through three states by an angry
father, who was only 20 miles be-
hind her all the way, Miss Julia Jack
son Christian, the only living grand
daughter of Stonewall Jackson, the
famous Confederate general, eloped
and was married at midnight to E.
Randolph Preston, a lawyer and a
member of the legislature.
The pursuit began at Atlanta, and
with Miss Christian on the first section
and her father on the second, was con-
tinued through Georgia, South Carolina
and we'll into North Carolina.
Miss Christian demonstrated her
ability to plan and carry out the elope-
ment, once she had decided upon IT.
Her father is w. E. Christian, assist
ant general passenger agent for the
Seaboard Air line at Atlanta. His
daughter, who lives with her grand
mother, Mrs Stonewall Jackson, was

Mrs. Christian was at work in his Of
flee when he was surprised to receive
a telegram from his daughter annOunc-
ing that she had taken train for

was her intention to get married. Mr..
Christian after a wild ride in cab

Wires Her Sweetheart.
While the father was riding along
20 miles behind, Miss Christian wired
her sweetheart to meet her at the
railroad station in Charlotte.
Mr. Preston received the message
just in time to catch the train. When
the train on which Miss Christian and
her sweetheart were riding was half
way to Salisbury, the second section
pulled into Charlotte. with a mighty
angry father on board. Realizing that
further pursuit was useless, he gave
up the chase.
When Mr.. Preston and Miss Chris

in readiness for their immediate mar
riage, a college chum to whom Mr.
Preston had telegraphed having at

which freed the chum, caused him to

When the people of Walla Walla let
il be known that they are going to
boost for the men who invest their
money here and take an interest in
the growth and progress of the city
and when the people demonstrate that
they will not support, commercially,
politically or otherwise, the men who
horde their wealth and refuse to con-
tribute their share toward the up
building of the Garden City of the In
land Empire, then, and not till then,
will Walla Walla make-the progress
it should make. A man who will not
invest his money here and help buipd

Walla Walla needs is more broad

alize that while working for the well
fare of this city they are advancing
their own interests. We have some OF
those kind of men but we need more.

WHAT IT COSTS TO REAR A CHILD

WHAT IT COSTS TO REAR \ CHILD
Newspaper in England have taken
up a discussion started in this coun-
try and have presented some figures
upon the cost of rearing children. One
of the estimates Set forth in the last
issue of the New York Independent
shows an aggregate of $4,000 as the
cost of bringing a child to the age of
Il years. According to this estimate.
the expenditures for the first eight
years were S625 annually, for the next
five years $3.50 annually, for the next
five years $500 annually and for the
last three years $3.50 annually, With
$500 q. year added FOR travelling and
holiday expenses for the last seven
years. If these figures were even APP
proXimately correct there would be
very good reason for the permanent
establishment of a race suicide poicN
in England but every person of sense
knows that the estimates are many
times the average actual cost of rear
ing children in decent respectable
manner
There are hundreds of thousands of
farmers small tradesmen mechanics
and common laborers who do not make
more than 1925 year and who keep
q family on it. The pampered child of
aristocratic parents may cost $4,000
IL y years. and the chances are ten
TO one that the result will prove a
waste of the money. But children Sc
reared are comparatively few. They
are outnumbered by the newsboys and
bootblacks who make their own way
after they are ten years old and whose
chance of success is far better than

that of the wealthy youth, Between
the relatively small class Of underfed
and overworked. and the also relativel.
small class of underworked and over
fed there is a very large class of chill
dren who are properly cared for and
whose rearing costs parents but few
hundred dollars. The people who spend
s25,500 on a child do not have very
many of them. They don't want them.
The farmer boy earns his keep as soon
as he is old enough to drop potatoes,
hoe them and pic kthem up. He earns
his Sunday" clothes during hoppick-
ing. and his everyday clothes are
made over from his fathers.
The population of small towns is
made up chiefly of families that have
some useful occupation for their chill
dren when not in school. In the large
cities there are many families so sit
uated that they cannot give their chill
dren work to do during vacation and
the children are a constant expense.
To the parent who sends for a doctor
every time a child sneeZes or coughs,
rearing a family is an expensive I'M
dertaking, as it also is to the parent
who puts boy in standing collar and
cuffs as soon as he is out of dresses.
But the typical American boy has ID
summer suit composed of strong
shirt a pair of overalls, and a hat
His school clothes in the winter are
warm and comfortable, clean and neat
but not expensive. 1t doesn't cost $3.50
a year to keep him, nor anywhere near
that sum. Nor does it cost that much
to keep the average English boy or
girl reared as children should be in
the average English family.-Oregon-

ADJUSTMENTS
"TENNESSEE'S PARDNER."
Stock Company Presents Play Which
Which Makes Hit at Orpheum.

winch vi AXIS nix at OfPneum.
In play entirely different from any
thing which had yet been attempted
the Binnari company last night made
good to the largest audience which
has yet greeted them in the breezy
western play, "Tennessee's Pardner."
The play is a good one and fits the
company better than any yet put on,
with the exception perhaps of ''The
Charity Child" The parts We're all
well cast and the characters sus-
tanned in excellent style.
The audience had the satisfaction of
seeing Miss Murilla in leading part
last night and We're charmed by the
dainty simplicity of her acting as
Tennessee Kent" In the title role
"Tennessee's Pardner' Montgomery
was at his best and kept his place in
the hearts of the audience. Harris was
just as good as his partner ard the
work of Feeley and Ellis as miners,
was beyond criticism. Williams de-
serves special mention for the artis-
tic way in which he lied and for the
way ne ndnQleO MS business IN the
year of ST. He is a comedian of the
first water. Love. in his usual role of
the william, could not have been bet
ter and made himself thoroughly de-
spised by the way he handled his part.
Miss Martell, the leading lady of the
company, had a difficult part, but she
handled it we'll and the audience was
thoroughly in sympathy. with her eff
forts to live a better life.
Two little pieces of acting deserves
special mention. One is in the second
act, when ''Tennessee's Partner"
breaks the news of her fathers death
to her. He is so disconnected by her
sweet innocence that he makes her
keep her eye on that NALL and thus
is able to tell her. The other is the
last act and the situation is reversed.
With her pardner's eye on the nail.
Tennessee" tells of her love and she
screws her pardners courage up to the
proposing point. The acting in these
two scenes is excellent ard alone
makes the play worth seeing.
The bill is repeated tonight, tomor-
row afternoon ana tomorrow night.

Portland is offended because those

not stop in that harbor for the al
legged reason that the water is not
deep enough. Tacoma is up in the air
to send the ships there because the
water is too deep and both cities pro-
pose to let Washington hear about the
outrage. II those two cities don't
quit fighting about this proposition We
will ask Senator Ankeny to wire to
the president and have the fleet come
