Spokane beat Vancouver 16 to 7
yesterday in game that wasn't
particularly interesting. Vancouver
got hits off Killilay and Spokane
negotiated II in all from Goodwin
and Hall. The game was much like
you see around the corner lots,
these days-plenty of errors, plenty
of hits, some cussing of the ump.
At Tacoma Seattle was beaten 0
to 1. Harry Rush, ex-high school
twirler here, was in the box for
Seattle and gave the Tigers only
2 hits. Doyle allowed Seattle and
had better luck in his support than
did Rush.
Over in Aberdeen yesterday they
blamed Umpire Frary for the defeat
of the Lumberjacks by Butte, 2 TO

at the plate in the fifth but Frary
couldn't see it.

Ideal Weather

The only thing unusual about
 the weather of the month of Nov ember was the rainfall. The en- tire precipitation for the month was S.75, This was 4.16 inches
 above the noI nal rainfall for the month of November. There was seven days on which it rained. The mean temperature for the month was 50.6, which is only a fraction of a degree below the normal mean of that month. The highest temperature recorded during the month was 76 degrees, and the lowest, p degrees. Thus far the new month is above re proach. Sunday was ideal and yesterday more so. There are nc indications atpresent of a change.

Another Appeal

It is passing strange that Prescott is accused, by many who say they know, of having a whole lot of blind tigers and yet the officers have not the disposition to put a stop to them. It was ru- mOred on the streets few days ago that the woman were going to make raid. Strange to say the women were informed that the suspected places were ready for them. Of course they were. Who among such class of men would not get ready?
 It is passing strange how any man can maKe up his minG to so violate the law as to want to sell whiskey in town where the ma jority of the people say it shall not be done. Such a procedure is theft, pure and simple. Such a man would steal the money from his dead daddy's eyes.
 To sell whiskey at all, one must callous his heart to witness the blackest deeds, but to sell it against the law he oversteps every bound of honor and must harden his heartto perjury, theft, dishonor. disloyalty and every conceivable sin of the human heart. Is there no appeal? Is there no way in which we can reach the better part, the divine part of these, our accused fellow men?
 0, would that we couidm There is so much good in every body, if the right touch, assisted by di- vine grace, can only gain access. Is there no picture of the broken hearts you are making right here in your own home town that could appeal to you? Oh. the pa thos of the complaints we hear makes the heart ache and drives sleep oft-times from our eyelids. Would that you could feel it as we dol.

Mas New Husband

To know when, and when not, to laugh has made many a man s and many a woman's, fortune. One of the rare exceptions, which proves the truth of this, is Mas New Husband. d." This screaming musical farce does not give you time to exercise discretion. 1t forces you to. laugh, whether you like to or not, and to laugh all the time. In fact it is a despository for unlimited laughs on which you draw cons tantly for two hours and thirty minutes. See it at the opera house next Wednesday evening

A New Version.

After hard study Hilary felt sure that he had the parable of the prodi- gal son by heart. All went we'll in the recitation until he came to the prodigars return, which he described in this way: But when he was yet a great way on his father saw him and had compassion. and ran and fell on his neck and broke it." But. my son" explained the mother. he fell on his sons neck and kissed him." "Oh! [ thought he ran and fell on his own neck. and because he was an old man he must have broken it!"-Harpss's Magazine.

 Discussion sometimes leads to strange subjects. Yesterday the senior and junior members of Prescott partnership were engaged in discussing the ques- tion of a woman's tendency to obesity as she advanced in years and the junior man, who is un. married, had the horrors at the thought that possibly some day the woman he loved might grow stout. The senior couldn't satis. fly the young gentleman on the point and visitor was question ed on the subject and his reply, in substance, was as follows:
 A man ought not to fall in love with a woman's face, form or features. Love her for her self alone, and it will make little difference, as far as your happi- ness is concerned, whether she be fat or lean, tall or short, pret- ty or homely. The heart hath no eyes, and love is blind"
