THE FRANK PREAcHER.-Jack Lon
don, before setting out on his world
tour in a small boat, was the guest of
honor at dinner in San Francisco.
my friends have been very frank
with me about this tour" Mr.. London
said at the dinner. ''They have told
me that / am a poor sailor; that /
know nothing of navigation; that /
won't get anywhere near around the
world; that I'll be wrecked; that I'm
a fool, and so on.
"Frankness is a good thing, but
sometimes 1t Is rather unpleasant. My
friends frankness reminds me OF the
unusual address that an eccentric
Frisco clergyman made to a young
couple that he was about to marry.
George the clergyman began,
from the bottom of my heart I con-
graduate you on the wise step you are
about to take. 1t was sad indeed to
see you wasting your youth in drunk
enness. But all's well that ends we'll,
and 1 am glad to think that you have
bid an eternal farewell to drink; for,
of course, with your prospects not so
much as weekly glass of beer, but
only the barest necessities Of life, will
be within your means
He then turned to the young wom-
an.
"And you, my poor Henrietta, I
congratulate most heartily, for it Is
seldom that girls Of your appearance
find husbands. Never forget that you
ought, by Interchangeable sweetness and
a devotion without bounds, to try to
make amends to poor George for your
physical shortcomings. For you are, I
repeat, a real blunder of nature.
".And now, my dear children, I will
proceed to unite you in the hold bonds
of matrimony' '"-Washington Star.

DISCREET.-There is a Chicago law
yer who. his colleagues aver, has q
positive genius for malapropos sugges-
ton to his witnesses on the stand.
Recently this lawyer was counsel ir
a suit for divorce. wherein he was ex-
amining a woman who had taken the
stand in behalf of the plaintiff.
Now, madam" began the attorney
who is always saying the wrong thing
repeat the slanderous statements
made by the defendant on this occa-
sion"
"Oh, they are unfit for any respect
able person to hear!" gasped the wit
ness.
Then. madam" said the attorney
coaxingly, suppose you just whisper
them to his honor the judge"

cashed at the bank. The arrest was
made last night but it was not gener-

something yesterday evening which
aroused his suspicion, and after Mr..
Reading left the office he made an ex-

soon found a number of them, amount

his true signature. He then called

CAR SHORTAGE
EFFECTS LUMBER
Local Mill Men to Shut
Down Mills for That
Reason

The lumber industry of the Craig
mountain section has been materially
embarrassed by reason of a shortage
of cars for the transportation of the
product into the Eastern market.
The Colby, Coryell & Howe COM
pany, operating on Craig mountain,
with yards and planning mill at Jaques
Spur, reported a congestion in their
shipping yards, where $50 carloads of
choice pine have been sorted for weeks
and ready for Eastern shipment. This
company last winter cut an order of
300 carloads for an Eastern delivery,
and has been unable to deliver but half
of the amount, because of the inability
to secure cars.
The company planned to conduct
summer logging and to operate the
mill the greater portion of the sum-
mer and all of the fall, but the manu-
featuring plant on the mountain has
been closed because of the car short
age. s'FIN
G. w. Colby, president of the Colby,

ber of cars are expected to be loaded

eating the charges of alleged miscon-
duct.
Senator Borah has not entered any
