The Republicans of this county are
not as happy or united as brethren
should be, and it has been discovered
that many a ward politician is carry
ing knife in his bootleg to cut the
throat of some aspiring leader of a
rival faction. One cause of disturb
ance has been the perfunctory en-.
dOrsement of Gov. Mead, and some of
the fuglemen seem to think that a
whole dose would not have been more
nauseating than the half-potiOn, and
that 'twould have been far better to
have gone the whole hog" (pardon
the slang) than to have established
an invidious distinction by silence.
They thought doubtless that the sins
OF other occupants of the pie-counter
might have been benefited by q light
coat of whitewash, but it was unhes-
itatingly refused. This made some
participants HOpp about and threaten
to kick over the pot, which has been
simmering ever since, with steady
rise of scum to the surface.

MYSTERY OF THE AIR-SHIPs" En-
planned. 1t seems that, at last, the
appearance of meteoric lights some
time ago in the heavens, which were
thought might be Japanese air-ships
by the more timid, has been ex-
planned. They were simply aero
plane kites in tow of steamers, used
for securing an elevation for the con-
tact points for experiments being
made of the wireless telegraph or tele-
phone. To keep in view their loca-
ton, sometimes electric lights were
used, connected with the city light
systems at Seattle or Tacoma, and
at others simply lanterns. The aero
planes frequently attained a height
of 1000 feet and could therefore be
seen over wide scope of country.

Memorial Services OF the Eagles.

The beautiful and impressive me-
mortal service of the Eagles were
held last Sunday afternoon over the
absence of many absent links in the
chain Of brotherhood caused by those
who had gone before. President
GuiberSon conducted the ceremonies
assisted 10y Secretary Moore. Past
President, Free and Chaplain BIN
hcimcr The address was delivered by
ThoS Vance. and was ainaStcrly pre-
sontation of the claim for immortality
and in justification of the hope that
the bonds of fraternity are not sew
cred by death. The speaker did not
claim utilization with any religious
denomination. but intuitively be-
licvcd in the existence of Supreme
Power, by whatever name it may he
known. Nature taught evolution in
many unmstakabc forms, animate
and inanimate. The changes come
in the line of expansion. Great
us had been the progress of human
development. it seemed hardly prob
able that the present stage could be
the final one, and it would be the
height of presumption to contend
that with the great discoveries con
tinualy being made that Man had
no more to learn. no more to grow
in purity and strength; that his
progress was complete. Reasoning,
therefore, from a truth that Nature
has established and is continually
verifying, it seemed entirely logical
that death is onlya change to better
condition. invisible to the finite eye,
but not the more wonderful than
many changes effected by natural
law, wherein we witness the unmiStak
able transition from cause to effect,
without being able to analyze the
alchemistic process by which it was
affected. He was not prepared to
say that the departed brethren were
not present in the form of intelligent,
sentient beings, interested in all
that was done but unable to respond
to the roll call in audible tones.
There is no attempt to give the
exact words of the speaker, but SIM
ply outline the train of thought,
which elected SO many favorable
encomiumS from his auditors. 1t
was certainly comfort to the
mourners and a subject of profound
thought for all who heard him.

CHAPTER vi,

When We met at breakfast the next
morning there were no signs of the
breach between Vincent and myself
except his unusual pallor, which sug-
gested to me that he, too, had spent a
sleepless night.
The girls were inclined to joke our
solemn faces, but so long as the meal
passed off without disclosing that
something was amiss between us l did
not care. All day We saw nothing of
each other, but this was not unusual,
as we always pursued different
courses. / spent most of my time
with Agatha Fourth, the only honor
able, whom l found to be a really de-
lightful girl and certainly the posses.
sor of remarkable musical talent.
In the evening the others went out
to row on the lake and left Agatha
Fourth alone with me. She sat at the
piano and played everything she
could think Of, while lay on a broad
divan where ! could watch her and
listen to the soft music

something to do with the fact that

about to rise heard voices, and, turn

piano man and girl. The man was

of his tan extending to the roots of his

to me at once that his face had los
much OF its boyishness and he looked
every inch a man. But 1t took me
some time to realize that the girl who
sat with him was none other than the
secretary.

She's no match for you--a girl with no

you. Think of your father. There
has never been a mesalliance in the
family; 1t would break his heart"
Vincent raised his head. MRS.
Armistead says her family is perfectly
respectable" he said. II asked her"
Perfectly respectable" repeated,
contemptuously. Think of Vincent
marrying girl who has nothing in her
favor but the fact that her family was
perfectly respectable!
Vincent sighed pathetlcally and l
delivered one more blow. Think"

Suppose he should die--wouldn't you

American girl? And If you don't come
into the title you're only a younger
son, and you know yourself your pro.
pensity for getting into debt, and the
foreign Office for boy of your age
is not a paying business. No, Vincent,
you're not cut out for making money.
and it's certain you can't depend on
your father forever. Can't you see
how rash and foolish you are to con.

A great scientist has said we can put

To do this the right kind of food, Of
course, is necessary. The body manu-.
features poisons In the stomach and

stuffs and unless sufficient Of the right
kind is used, the injurious elements
overcome the good.

WEAKNESS OF GREAT STRENGTH.
Perfect Health Not Consistent with
High Muscular Development.

It is curious fact that perfect
health Is not consistent with high mus
cular development. Professional ath-
letes and all men who acquire 5phe-
nomenal strength seem to lose in
length of life and activity what they
gain for a few years of record-break-
ing powers. I was privileged to see,
on several occasions, Louis Cyr, the
Canadian giant, who broke all weight
lifting records. He weighed 800
pounds, and was all solid bone and
muscle. ! saw him hold his wife out
at arms length with one hand. saw
him raise 3O0-pound barrel from the
floor to his shoulder, using only one
hand and arm. saw him get down
on all tours under a platform bearing
1000 pounds of big men selected from
the audience, and he raised the plat
form with his mighty back. Yet this
remarkable man was muscle. bound
and crippled at 81, when he should
have been at the height of his wonder
full powers.
Kennedy, the oarsman, who won q
diamond belt for lifting with his hands
from the floor, absolutely without APP
