Monarchs Spend Their
Vacations in Yachting

Albert number $50, and there is great
est rivalry in the service to be picked
for the yacht. Those who are chosen
represent the best known and finest
men to be found in the service.
The car of Russia calls his Stand
art" yacht, but the term is hardly a
fitting one, for the fear that ever fills
the heart of the Little White Father
has forced him to fit out for his pleas
ure trips frowning ship that could do
duty in battle without change in the
equipment she bears when the car is
aboard:
Nicholas makes long trips, for his
only happiness is found in getting far
away from Moscow or St. Petersburg,
where desperate men and women are
plotting without cessation on how
they can get his life.
The Kaiser Wilhelm, famed for his
love of the warlike, has for his pleas
ure the "Hohenzollern," named for his
great family. This, like the Stand
art" is virtually second-class cruis-
er, fitted with bristling guns and all
that is necessary to an engagement.
If any daring adventurers ever con-
ceived the idea of kidnapping the kais-
er, they would find mighty surprise
in the fighting power of the boat on
which he takes his vacation cruises.
Wilhelm likes to go distances. This
summer he plans cruise through the
Norwegian fjords.
One of the most noted yachts owned
in the United States, "The Margerita,"
property of Mr.. Anthony Drexel, and

Extraordinary Duel That Was Ar.

An extraordinary duel, which at the
time created an immense sensation
was one in which the decision was ar.
rived at not by swords or pistols, but
by means of a deadly poison. The

say, had fallen out over a lady, had
left the arrangement Of details to their
seconds, and until they faced each
other they did not know by what
method they were to settle their di<.
ferences.
One of the seconds was a doctor,
and he had made up for the occasion

and shape. "In one of these" he
said, Il have placed a sufficient guam.

Many Of tn egirls go into factories

Many study dressmaking, and find

Five years is long while to spend
in this kind of fight, but if, at the
end of that period, the outcome is VIC
tory, that battle has been well worth
while, for then the immigrant has cast
aside her ignorance and uncouthness.
The clumsy boots she wore on her
arrival have given place to natty shoes

Afer the homework stage it is usu-

stinct to make money is born in these
women. They have had little oppor-
tunity in the old country to put their
thrifty talents to use, but when they
see the opportunities here, they ap-
ply themselves with what is almost
desperation. Economy that would be
impossible to an American girl, they
find a source of pleasure, and, as the
money mounts up, they continue to
apply themselves in such ways that
before they have reached the, impulse
to wed, they have nice littye sums laid
by with which to help their husbands.

Normal School Notes

Principal w. E. Wilson returned
last Friday from business trip to
the sound. His reports regarding
the new buildings for the public
school are more favorable than other
wise. All the friends Of the school
sincerely hope it may be possible by
another year to add "a new training
school and dormitory to the school.
The present training school is very
much crowded and the dormitory
ON account of its loose construction
is unsuitable for the winter months.
Last Monday, in the gymnasium,
a lively game of basket ball was
played between the boys Of the
fourth year class and the other boys
of the school. The result was
score of 10 to Is in favor of the
fourth year boys.
The fourth year girls have accept
ed the challenge of the senior girls
to a game OF basket ball to take
place soon.
Mr.. Morgan is in Olympia this
week on business, in the interest Of
the school, to present to the legisla-
ture the information in regard to at.
tendance. etc., demanded Of the state
institutions BY the bill recently
passed.
Thursday being Valentine day the
senior class presented DR. Harris
with valentine in the shape Of u
bottle of red ink. After the presen.
Etation by MI. Gerber each member Of
the class arose and gave an a2pro-
pirate gem in honor OF the occasion.
Thursday morning Mr.. Bevis gave
a talk on astronomy which was u
continuation of former talk given
by him few weeks ago. The school
is very mucn interested in these talks
en- astronomy and feel certain that
MIR. Bevis has not exhausted his
his knowledge on this subject, and
hope this last talk will not be a
conclusion.
Miss Millicent Mcneil, q former
student, has returned from British
Columbia, where she has been visit
ing. and taken up her work in the
school. On her way from British
Columbia Miss Mcneil visited at Su-
mas. where she reports that tho
schools were obliged to close for
some time on account of the cold
weather.

Mark Twain has a new one which

til DR.. Newell Dwight Hills gave 1t
out when IN the city yesterday. 1t
was while Mark was being banquet
ted by a party of citizens at the Wal
dorf-Astoria in New York recently
that two colored walters were placed
behind his chair to wait upon him.
One would place the dishes on the
table from his right and the other
would take them OF on the left. This
did not suit Mark and he told the
two walters to get away. and II they
would stay away. when they returned
they would ind something under the
plate that would make their mouths
water" They returned IN about an
hour and found beneath the plate
two sticks Of chewing gum.
