race you back"
True to his determination, Joshua
jumped off at the head of the inlet, and
the Pioneer was turned by her new pilot
The Arrow and the Pioneer took their
places side by side, and the race COM
menced. The boats were similar, and thus
neither had the advantage on this score
But the rowers on the Pioneer were. on
the whole, stronger, and more skillful
than those on the Arrow. On the other
hand, Walter steered perfectly, while
Joshua's successor, though he made no
bad blunder, was a novice.
The result was that the race was
clear one. Finally the Arrow came in
length ahead, and Walter felt with quiet
satisfaction that the victory had been
gained by his efforts.
He hoped that he would be as success
full through life in padding his own canoe.
Joshua went home sulkily, and was not
seen again on the picnic grounds.

Doctor David Roberts, State Veteri-
narian of Wisconsin, gives this advice
Perhaps the best way of demonstrating
the danger of drencbing cattle is to adj
wise the reader to throw back his head
as far as possible and attempt to swal-
low. This you will find to be a diff
cult task, and you will find it more
difficult and almost impossible to swal-
low with the mouth open. 1t is for
this reason that drerching cattle is
dangerous practice. However, If a cows
head be raised as high as possible and
her mouth kept open by the drenching
bottle or horn, n portion of the liquid
is very apt to pass down the windpipe
Into the lungs, sometimes causing in
slant death by smothering, at other
times causing death TO follow in a few
days from congestion or inflammation
OF the lungs. Give all cattle their
medicine hypodermically or in feed. If
they refuse feed give it dry on the
tongue. The proper method of giving
cow medicine is 50 stand on the right
side Of the cow, placing the left arm
around the nose and at the same time
opening her mouth, and with a spoon in
the right hand place the medicine
which should be in powdered form,
back on the tongue; she can then swat
low with safety

In closing his address on "The Man

crowded house at the First Presbyte-

centage of which were men, the Rev.
James Clement Reid said:

John pdttiSOn Scores Greatest
Success of Present Campaign

pathos humor, satire and sarcasm
followed so closely upon one another
that before the hearers of Judge Bost-
wick had wiped the tears of laughter
from their eyes, they were listening to
a tale of pathos which brought forth
tears of sympathy. The guarantee Of
bank deposits, the tariff, the postal
savings bank, the publicity of cam
paign funds-every issue of the pres
ent campaign was touched upon by the
speaker, who by his manner of illus
tration with the use of humorous stories
was able to depict in most compre-
hensive manner the various subjects
as had not been done previously in the
campaign.
One of the most noticeable features
of Saturday evenings rally was the
fact that those who occupied seats in
the Keylor Grand remained until the
last word had been said, whereas at
the republican demonstrations, but halt

the close of the meeting, the other half
having grown tired of the WeariSome

who ever appeared before a Walla

of hearing his auditors call for more,

seats reluctant to have him close.
So marked was the applause, after

an hour he asked, Shall / stop?"

the simple. straightforward manner of
his delivery won, from the first, every
heart in the vast assemblage gathered
to do him honor.

his opponent and who, while not of
pre- possessing appearance, has all the
stamina and energy in keeping with
his remarkable height and strong,
broad shoulders. When, in his talk, Mr..
Pattison referred to the gradually in
craesing debt of the state, and told in
what manner it should be reduced, he
showed, at a word, that he was not
lacking in the methods of economic
government; and the mere fact that he
has, since his election as mayor of Col
fax, reduced the municipal debt at a
rate of $4,000 a year, without an in
crease in taxation, added to the pop
ularity of Honest John Pattison, the
Abe Lincoln of the Palouse."
In closing, the speaker delivered a
brief review of the campaign. saying
that no matter what the future has in
store for him, he will always. cherish
the remembrances Of the 1908 cam

Judge Bost>~ick Speaks.
Following the talk sof Mr.. Pattison,
which was far too brief to satisfy his
hearers, Judge Samuel Bostwick, of Ev-
erett, one of the most brilliant attor-
neys of western Washington, took up
national issues. For more than an hour,
by his inimitable manner of speech, by
his brilliant and well drawn word
pictures, and their fitting climaxes and

notwithstanding the fact that the
republicans, by means of a so-called
smoker" at their headquarters, en-
deavored to detract attention from the
democratic rally held in the Keylor
Grand. Saturday evening, at which
Mayor John PattisOn, of ColfaX, demo-
cratic candidate for governor, was the
principal speaker, one of the largest
audiences ever assembled here to listen
to a campaign orator followed the
street parade to the playhouse and
listen attentively to the issues dis
cussed Never before in the history of
the city was such a welcome given an
office seeker, and Mr.. Pattison had
ample reason to feel proud of the city
of Walla Walla and its loyal and en-
thusiastic democrats.
AS the next governor of the Ever
green safe appeared upon the stage,
round after round of deafening ap-
plause greeted him, and for several
moments it was impossible for the
chairman. H. F. Clodius, jr., to make
the Introductory address in which he
presented Mr.. Pattison to his constit-
Uents. The address of Mr.. Ciodlrs,
while brief was a brilliant one, and
those who had not previously had an
opportunity of hearing him speak. were
impressed with his bearing before so
large an audience.
In opening his talk, Mr.. Pattison,
who has conducted more than SO rail-
lies since the opening of the campaign
thanked his hearers for the reception

OF the Garden city. He announced that
