THE JOKE is
ON CAMPBELL

The court house contingent have
the laugh on County Clerk Campbell
today.
Yesterday morning, as he was
busily filing the papers on the case
Of John Doe VS.. Richard Doe the tel
ephone rang, and a lady's voice said:
What's the matter; l thought our
water rent had been paid; but
they've shut off the water today, and
J can't get a drop to use!" Mr..
Campbell thought he recognized his
W3fe's voice, and hurried to see CITY
Clerk Sumner to find out why the
Campbell family's supply of the
SqIillchuck nectar had been choked
eff But Sam could tell him nothing.
So when night came Mr. Campbell
borrowed two court house pals from
Billy Simmons, and carried water all
the way UP the hill to his home. His
home. His wife saw him coming
With it, and was naturally very much
astonished. Il never called you up,
nor said anything about the water
being shut off, said she, much 20
the County Clerks amazement.
Some one doubtless tried to get
the city clerk % register water
kick, and by mistake rang up the
county clerk.
Anyway the hero of this tale rush
ed two heavy pals of water up a
stiff grade for nothing. and the laugh
is on him. He says he's not the
kind of a camel that can go seven
days without a drink,

A Woman on Wcmen.

For solfishness and reconsideration
commend me to q woman travelling.
She will deliberately occupy two seats
In q street car, see other women stand,
laden with bundles, without offering
to move up and otherwise try to prove
to everybody with eyes in bis head
that they, these women, have no man
ners st all. Yet if you called at the
houses of such women have no doubt
In the world that you would BIZ courta-
ously received. their best would be at
your disposal, and you would other
wise discover that they had some claim
to the title of ladies' but never from
their manners in public. Aad. far
from displaying good manners them
selves. many women are incapable CO
approaching good manners In others.
II a well bred woman does move mp
to make room for Il standing woman,
how often IS the first woman thanked !:
Sometimes not even 4 bow or q glance
is given. Ask men how often they ara
thanked (once in twenty tines for
giving their seats in car to wcmen.--

Witchcrafs In the Nineteenth Century


Most people believe that witchcraft
among civilized people ended when thu
Salem witch mania" ran its course
and died out in the year 1862. 1t d.
as far as America is concerned, eScep,
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 cid beggar was tortured to
Geath as late as 1907 on the charge Of
being one who ''comnuned with evil
Spirits" and in Spain a witch was
burned in 1908. In 1850 in France a
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 witch was
drowned in England, and in 1860 one
was burned in Mexico. In 1874, 1870
1880 and again in 1889 witches We're
publicly burned in Russia, and even
as late as 1890 regular judicial trials
Of witches were had in Prussia, Pc
land and AustriaHungary.

Long E-ublic CoreerS.

Defiance OF Osierism was not ths
only noticeable thing about the late
John T. Morgan, United States senator
from Alabama. Morgan had lived one
life, befors he entered the senate. He
was then fifty-three years old and had
borne many political honors. First rep
resenting his state in national con
yentiOn, he was a member of the Ala.
bama convention which passed the or
dinance of secession.
There are but three men in the pres
ent senate who were members Of mar
body when Morgan entered it-Ailson
Telleg and Whyte. He became sena
tor spontaneously With Garland, Beck
Hoar and Eustis. Voorhees, came IN 3
few months later. Morgan's rolleaeu,
In 1877 was a carpetbagger. Conkli1s
was the Ihost conspicuous man ia the
hoGy and the leader OF the ma ority
Thurman led the minority. ingalls,
was just fairly launched OH his bril-
liant career. Morton was just leaving
the stage on which he played so great
a part. Sherman resigned to go into
the cabinet the day Morgan entered tie
senate. Two Democrats were senators
from Connecticut. Vest ind Vance
came In two years later. Hale and
Frye came in four years later. Blaine
preceded Morgan a few months. VII
ham A. Wallace, the rival Of Samuel
J. Randall, was a Democratic senator
nom Pennsylvania.
OF the three men In the present sen
ate who were members when Morgac
entered it In 1877 only one remained
continually at his post-Allison. Tefief
left to enter the cabinet, and Whyts
left it many years ago, returning by
appointment to fill the vacancy made
by the deats Of Senator German. So
1t amounts = this-that Morgan, who
entered the reverend body IN midd!e
age, lived to see t>.5 entire personnel
changed, with tie exception Of ons
member. Considering the claims made
as 20 the conservative character Of ths
upper house os congress, the tenure OF

MORE CUTTING
AT PARShhLL'S

Our recent sacrifice sale was a
stupendous success. 1t was highly
satisfactory to ourselves on account
OF the immense volume of business
that was transacted, and it was most
pleasing to our customers by reason
of the unusual savings it afforded
them in buping everyday necessi-
ties-for men, women, children and
the home.
1t is orr ambition to give the best
values that money can buy. We are
determined to give our town a store
full of goods that will be a credit
and source of admiration to every
citizen in Wenatchee. We want to
keep all of our goods moving, and
we will endeavor to dispose of every
item in our store long before the
usual bargain sales after the season
has passed.

mined, with the help of our friends
who assisted us in advertising our
recent big sale, to dispose OF every
article that we now have in stock.

this without any disposition to brag.
The goods are here to show you. The
prices are here for your investiga-
ton.
We believe in giving you the ad-
vantage of bargains now, rather than
in Spring or late Winter. We also
believe that by so doing We can clear
out all our present up-to-date and
seasonable stock of goods so that We
can have in our Spring stock earlier
than usual, as we look forward to
a record-breaking Spring trade, and
we want to be prepared for it.
We want our customers to be en-
tirely satisfied with every purchase
Again we say to you, Come and see
