Tales Worth Tell 8.
A NEEDED GOLF STICK

DR.. d. A. Sargent, the director Of
the Hemenway gymnasium at Harvard
was talking about the new game ne
has invented-a cross between basket
ball and foot ball.
"Of course" he said, zone plays it =
little awkwardly at first But then,
one plays every new game awkwardly,
eh?'
Il once saw two young ladies making
their first essay at golf.
Dear mel said the first young lady
What shall do now? My ball is in a
hole"
The second young lady took out a
book of instructions.
Let me see, she said turning the
pages I presume you must now take
a stick of the right shape and get it out
Oh, yes of course, said the first
young lady. See if you can find me a
stick shaped like a dust pan and
brush

WHY SHE WAS MAD.

Foreign relations" said Senator Cul-
lon recently, ARE delicate things, and
must be handled delicately.
Foreign relations, in fact, remind
me of a newly married couple I heard
about the other day.
Their life had been very happy for
year. Not a cloud had marred their
perfect felicity. Then, one morning,
the wife came down to breakfast mo-
rose and wretched.
She was snappish with her hus-
band. She would hardly speak to
him. And for a long while she re-
fused to explain her unwonted conduct
Finally, though, the young man
insisting that he be told why his wife
was treating him so badly, she looked
up with tears in her eyes and said:
John Smith, if dream again that
you have kissed another woman,
won't speak to you again as long as
live"

SURE OF HIS SKILL.

Upton Sinclair, in an address at a
vegetarian banquet, attacked the trusts.
The trusts effrontery is amazing,
he said "They commit a sin with
as virtuOus an air as you or l would do
piece of charity; and there is no
getting around them, no heading them
off. They are like old Eliphalet Hos
kins.
'Eliphalet Hoskins was one of the
old residenters of the Head of Sassa-

bars of soap, potatoes, chickens-any-
thing that came in his way. The
Head of Sarrafras people knew his fail
ing well, but on account of his great
age they had pity on him. He was
never punished.
1T happened that one night a load
of dried fish arrived at the wharf too
late for the keeper of the general store
to remove it. There was nothing to
do but cover it with a tarpaulin and

tered the storekeeper as he drew tar

he heard cautious footsteps. He look

"The storekeeper gave a grunt Of
veXation Then he selected a couple
of fish and extended them to the old
man.
'Eliphalet,' he said, I've got to
leave this pile of fish out here over
night. Now, if I give you these two
fine fellows, will you promise not to
steal none of the others?"
"Eliphalet looked at the two fish in
the storekeeper's hand. Then he look

the tarpanlin.

said slowly, 'but-well-I dunno, l

!. N. c. A. FUND
IS INCREASED
More Than Three Thousand
Dollars Raised Quickly

During the past four days more than
$4,000 has been raised towards the $780,
900 deficit in the Y. M. G. A. fund.
With the exception of one new pledge
of $500, from a man who had not been
called upon in the first canvass, this
$4,000 was made up by directors of the
association and others who had al
ready made generous contributions to
the fund. Some of these doubled their
former subscriptions and others quad
rupled the generous contributions
which they made in the first canvass
The committee working with Field
Secretary w. M. Parsons and Secre-
tary Carey, feel much pleased over the
generous contributions made for en-
terprise which means so much to the
city of Walla Walla and thinks the
balance of the amount needed for the
new building ought to be raised dur
ing the coming week if the people in
the city are as generous as those who
have already been interviewed.
Secretary Carey said this morning:
IF the spirit of generosity shown by
this group of men can be extended to
sufficient number of the citizens of
Walla Walla, the entire sum needed to
carry the Y. NJ. c. A. project through
to a finish will be provided.
"To induce such generosity a few
gifts of $1,000 to $4,000 are essential and
the committee is hopeful of finding a
few men who will count it a pleasure
to invest to that extent in this public
enterprise"
Among the plans being made for the
vigorous prosecution of the campaign
for funds this week is the organization
Of another large committee of SO young
men to make the canvas reach out to
all the men of the city.
1t is probable a meeting for this pur-
pose will be held in the Commercial
club rooms in the Ransom building on
Friday night of this week.

protected by copyright and incorpora-
ton while the only record of the South
Bend Owls was that contained in the
late city directory of South Bend, Ind,
they refused to give such information
any publicity whatever.
Leavitt is not, never has been and
never will be a candidate for any Office
in Walla Walla. The grand nest of
the Owls will positively be removed
from Walla Walla to some city where
every move of every citizen need not
pass through a political censorship.
The regular correspondent of The
Times here, knew nothing Of the above
story until he saw it in print.
No such meeting as described was
ever held in Walla Walla and it is a
we'll known fact that Leavitt's can
didacy was never regarded as anything
but huge joke, starting seriously on
his part and ending in ridicule.

NEW YORK, Mch. 25.-Thaw's law

nothing more to offer except a brief,

Hartridge prepared the brief which
is said to deal merely with legal ef-

hour then said Thaw had changed his

the decision was reached that the only
way to kill off Leavitt's supposed
candidacy was to kill Off the Brother
hood of Owls.
AS a matter of fact, the only time
such a contingency was ever heard of,
outside the local newspaper offices, was
when it was in a jocular way, sug-
gested that ii Leavitt's popularity con-
tinued it would land him in the may
orality. That was the end of the joke,
until it was taken up by some of the
local politicians, who have since been
endeavoring to make mountain out
of mole-hill and have gone in great
trepidation to some Of the political
powers that be with their tale of woe.
These same powers Immediately set to
work to stop the further progress of
the order.

papers took the matter up with the
sanction of these political powers and

The bill was backed by the state

the anti-saloon people. 1t has been
figured there are 41,O00 government

there are but about 10000 saloons
