SNUB MAYOR MOORE

SEATTLE, April 18.-There was
a studied attempt on the part of
the council last evening to avoid
giving any undue prominence to the
name or doings of Mayor William
Hickman Moore.
The communication of the mayor,
and the ordinance naming a COM
mission to investigate the operation
of the Seattle Electric Co., were
not SO much as mentioned.
Contrary views are held as to
the final disposition of this matter.
Many now believe that it is buried

TO THE CHEERFUL MAN,
His Praises Sung in Cheerful Tone by
Cheerful Mr.. knozzleton.

Il like the cheerful man." said Mr..
knozzleton, the man who refuses to
be cast down, but takes always a
cheerful view.
Dyou ever see such weather as
thlsE says the dismal man, YEARLY,
shedding more sultriness all around
Did you feel that breeze?' says
the cheerful man, smiling, and as a
matter of fact there was the faintest
Kicker of movement in the air just
at that moment, and he caught it,
because he is receptive to all good
things; and he magnified it to all his
hearers by his breezy cheerfulness.
THE cheerful man for me every
time-he makes life worth living;
and | like especially to see him
around in hot and humid weather.
But he's helpful at all times.
so many people are so easily de-
pressed; good people, but with only a
narrow margin of courage; so that if
any little thing goes wrong they
think that everything's going to
pieces and the world is coming to an
end, but then
Pooh! says the cheerful man,
what's that? and he actually laughs
at this little picayune trouble, and
just brushes it away and forgets it,
making the faint hearted to laugh
and forget it, too; and in time he
may bring the easily discouraged
man to acquire the blessed habit of
laughing at all the petty troubles
that pop out at us on the road of
life, and so driving them away, in
stead of gloomily letting them climb
on him to ride on his back Good
man to have around is the cheerful
man.
az haven't caught a fish to-day,
says the disappointed man in the
fishing party. and you'd think from
his general castdownness that catch
ing fish was the main object of life,
and that if you didn't catch any, life
was failure
Well, l haven't caught any,
either says the cheerful man, but
I've had a darned good time and I've
caught an appetite like a team of
horses, and what l want now is to
get back to where they cook those
bluefish the way they cook 'em here,
and if don't eat II of EN- l miss my
guess Does the cheerful man perk
up the whole party? Why, sure; and
when they've got few of those blue
fish inside of them thew all think
they've had a great time"

While You Wait.

yes" said a florist, Il can work
miracles in my business. For in
stance, l can grow you lettuce while
you wait-sweet, crisp lettuce that
you may eat for your dinner with the
broiled spring chicken.
Il do it in this way: | take a hand
full of lettuce seeds that have been
soaked over night in alcohol, and l
plant them in a box containing three
inches Of loan and quicklime. l water
this soil, and in ten minutes the seeds
burst
They burst. and in 20 minutes two
tiny leaves push through the earth.
The leaves grow and multiply. In half
an hour they are as big as a halS dol
lar. Then you may pluck and eat
them They are delicious-a fairy
salad.
'Somtimes, when l give a dinner
party, l have one of these little pre-
pared lettuce beds in the center of
the table. The guests see the lettuce
grow, and when the time comes for
the salad course there is their salad
blooming before them, all ready for
them to pluck"

Remedies for Affections.

Dissipation of mind and length of
time are remedies to which the great
est part of mankind trust in their af-
flictions But the first of these works
a temporary, the second a slow, effect
and such are unworthy of wise man.
Are we to fly from ourselves that we
may fly from our miSfortuneS, and
only to imagine that the disease is
cured because we find means to get
some moments of respite from pain
Or shall we expect from time, the
physician of brutes, a lingering and
uncertain deliverance? Shall we wait
to be happy till we can forget that
we are miserable, and owe to the
weakness of our faculties a tranQuilli-
ty which ought to be the effect of
their strength? Far otherwise. Let
us set all our past and present Attic
lions at once before our eyes. Let
us resolve to overcome them, instead
of flying from them, or wearing out
the sense of them by long and igno-
minious patience. Instead of palliat-
ing remedies let us use the incisive
knife and the caustic, search the
wound to the bottom, and work an
immediate and radical cure.-Lord
Bolingbroke 167S-175D.

He Was Not TO Blame.

Little Bartholomew mother over
heard him swearing like a mule
driver, says the Cleveland Leader. He
displayed fuency that overwhelmed
her. She took him to task, explaining
tie wickedness of profanity as well
as its vulgarity. SIa asked him where
he had learned all those dreadful
words. Bartholomew announced that
Cavert, one of his playmates, had
taught him. Cavert's mother was
straightway informed and Cavert was
brought to book. He vigorously de-
MED having instructed Bartholomew,
and neither threats nor tears could
make his confess. At last he burst
out: q didn't tell Bartholomew any
cuss words. Why should l know how
to cuss any better than he does?
Hasn't his father got an automobile,
too?"

Artificial Aiurettes,

An announcement that bird lovers
will be glad to hear is that an artificial
aigrette has been produced, said to be
more beautiful than the real feather
which has brought about so many ap-
peals for mercy
The aigrette is not just now much
in demand by the milliners, but it has
usually been such a necessary adjunct
that no doubt the whirligtg of fashion
will bring it into use again. If an arti-
fetal feather of equal beauty with the
genuine has been contrived, one &C.
count of women with the recording an
gel has been squared, but the report
that such feat has been accom-
plished has not been verified.
The natural aigrette, as most per-
sons know, is taken from the mother
bird during the breeding season, so
that not only is her life sacrificed but
the lives of all her nestlings. No won
der an aigrette on a woman's head is
sign of reproach and that the hui
name have striven so hard to prevent
the custom of thus robbing the birds.

Autoqraphs and Holoqraphs.

can autograph" said an antiquary,
'is worth nothing, while holograph
may be worth $1,000 or more. An au-
tograph of a man is his simple sigma
ture. His holograph is one of his
signed letters, and it's value depends
on its interest.
Some men are such fools that they
think autographs valuable and holo-
graphs worthless.
Il know a man who found in his
grandfather's chest a lot of important
letters of Franklin, Washington, Aaron
Burr, Hamilton, Andre and Jefferson.
He read these letters; then he burnt
them. first cutting out the signatures.
For the signatures he got SO cents
apiece or Whereabouts. For the letters
in their entirety he would have gotten
from 800 to $500 apiece.
by this loss of about $4,000 the
man learned the difference between an
autograph and holograph.'

CHILDREN In FLATS
ONE REASON WHY THEY ARE
NOT MORE WELCOME.
Hard to Make Them Understand the
Necessity for Quiet Tone of

woman. "a boy of five or Whereabouts

his little bed at night in room adj

less to try to impress it upon this
youngster that he should lower his
voice on account of the thinness of the
wall between him and his neighbor;
and as it was only natural that his
future mamma in the course of argu-
ment should raise her voice in proper
ton to his, innocently eavesdropped.
For instance: "Oh, don't make such a
noise, child, with your yelps and
groans! You will disturb the lady in

Huh. If she had the stomach ache
that I've got, she'd boiler too"

Believed by JapS.

The Japanese believe in more myth
ical creatures than any other people
on the globe, civilized or savage.
Among these mythical animals are
some without any remarkable peculi-
arities of conformation, but gifted with
supernatural attributes, such as a
tiger which is said to live until it has
become a thousand years old, and
then turns as white as polar bear.
The Japanese also believe in multi
tude of animals distinguished mainly
by their monstrous size or by the
multiplication of their members.
Among these are serpents 800 feet
long and large enough to swallow an
elephant, foxes with eight legs, mon
keys with four ears, and fishes with
ten heads attached to one body. Japs
also believe in the existence of crane
which, after it has lived for 6oc years.
has no need of any sustenance except
water.
