Who Should Marry the Sweet Prize

Who Should Marry the Sweet Prize
TRENTON, N. J., March 1S.-Wil
liam Britton and Edward Hill of this
city, two electrical workers, finished a
duel at pool over their mutual sweet
heart, and Britton won the girl. The
men played three games Of 25 points
each. The men say the girl knew all
about the match, and approved it, She
will marry Britton as soon as the we'd
ding arrangements can be made.
Both men entered local pOolroom
with J. Howard Johnson. who was to
be referee, and on whose decision the
girl rested her future choice. The first
game went to Britton with 25 to %
points. Hill won the second game, 20
to 10, but Britton made the same score
in the third game, and won the girl.
Neither Of the contestants would dis
close the identity of the girl who con-
scented to SO curious plan. Both de-
clared that the duel was for the lady's
hand in marriage. Hill said he would
be the best man for Britton at the we'd
ding. The bride to be was not present
an the tournament, and nothing was
known of the intent until it was all
over.

: HOME BOYS LIKE LUXURY.
; + = + + + + + = + + + $50 + I

Not wishing to cast any reflections
upon our native sons or boys who were
raised in Walla Walla, it is a very no.
ticeable fact that the boys of other
states who drifted into our midst al
most penniless, are forging to the front
both in wealth and position faster than
our own home boys.
Many reasons may be given as to
the cause. Our city and valley has for
a long time been blessed with prosper
ity and the boys who work can begin
at the early ages at from II to Is years
earning as much salary as do tried
and middle aged men of the eastern
states. This has tendency to cause
foolish and lavish spendthrift, think
ing of nothing but a good time" and
saving no money for the future. The
Walla Walla boys of wealthy families
have been raised in the lap of luxury
and have not the least conception of
the value of a dollar while they cater
to the satisfaction of their tastes and
desires of amusement and pleasure.
With the eastern boys the case is al
most reversed. They have launched out
into the world at an early age to make
their fortunes. They have tried their
hand in several different lines in thl
east and receiving small consideration
for their labors have drifted west. On
arriving here the wages were crafty
ing to them and they settled down
earnestly to work to gather together
the neuclus of their future fortunes
They have not the extravagant habits
of the home boys nor do they contract
them, for they have been to the bed
rock and value the dollar. With due
credit to the eastern boys in our midst
| it is to be hoped that the Walla
Walla boys will awaken to the facts of
conditions and hod their own.
