The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1907-11-15

A candidate for parliamentary honors
found himself in the course of touring
the constituency in front of house
near which a number of children were
playing. Intent on his own business
the politician stopped for moment to
chat with the comely woman at the
gate. Politely doffing his hat, the
candidate inquired:
Madam, | may kiss these beautiful
children, may I not?"
Certainly" replied the lady.
When he had finished his wholesale
contract he turned to the woman and
said:
Seldom have l seen lovelier chill
dren. Yours, madam" The woman
blushed deeply.
"Ah, of course they are" CALAMITY
suggested the politician. The little
treasures, from whom else could they
have inherited those limpid eyes, those
rosy cheeks, and those musical voices1"
But still the lady blushed.
by the way, madam" said he,
may l impose upon your good nature
to the extent of asking that you tell
your estimable husband that Mr.. Cock
rell called upon him."
Excuse me, sir" said the woman,
Il have no husband"
But these children" madam
surely you are not widow"
Il fear there's some mistake, sir.
This is an orphan asylum"

lectured at the Grand theatre in Seattle
the other day. His subject was Chris

marks he said: There were three
famous declarations in this country;
first, the Declaration of Independence;
second, Lincoln's declaration OF eman-
cipation, and third, the declaration OF
freedom from sin, disease and death,
made by Mary Baker G. Eddy" The
last is an insult to the first and second
declarations.

A Leavenworth man is noted as an
angler, but he has a poor memory as
to the weight of the big trout he always
catches, but which no citizen of the

gaze upon yet. The other night a
friend was spending the evening at his
home and tried to entrap him.
