''When hear of people joyfully max

give them little bit Of advice, based.
Of course on my own observations. but
particularly upon Il remark made to
me by Il middle aged woman whose
sear in the saloon was next to mine on
my return trip last summer. This wO-
man had husband, and it was to him
that she referred in answering my
question one day. l asked her what
the had been doing on the other side.
She looked half quizzically. half re-
proachfully, at her spouse and said.

AN INSECT TRAGEDY.
The Nest the Mother Butterfly Builds
For Her Young.

The Nest the Mother Butterfly Builds
For Her Young.
There is something really pathetic in
the way a mother butterfly builds Il
nest for her children. In the first
place, the little home where the eggs
are deposited represents a great deal
of sacrifice, for it is lined with several
layers of down plucked from the moth
er's own soft body. The eggs having
been laid carefully upon this luxurious.
pretty couch. are protected by an
equally pretty cOverlet made of the
same material.
These butterfly bedclOthes are often
arranged with an intricacy that is quite
curious and perpleXing. Sometimes Il
bed is made so that each separate deli
cate hair stands upright, thus giving
the entire nest the appearance of lit
tie brush of downy fur Then again
the eggs are laid spirally round a tiny
branch. and, as the covering follows
their course. the effect resembles the
bushy tail of fox, only the nest is
more beautiful than the brush of the
finest fox that ever rOamed over cOun-
try.
The building of this downy nest is the
latest earthly labor of the mother but
terfly. for by the time it is completed
her own delicate body is denuded of its
natural covering and there is nothing
left for her to do but die, a sacrifice
which she promptly and heroically
makes in the interest of the coming
butterfly generation.

WALLA wALLA's BEER BILL.
Per Capita Cost of Beer to Garden
City I'm 1907 Was $81.

Pcf Oap1ta COSt OF Beer 10 Garden
City I'm 1907 Was $61.
Last year, every man, woman and
child in Walla Walla drank an aver
age of 500 glasses of beer, says the
Walla Walla Union. Every day that
Evangelist Hart sweat blood on the
tabernacle platform, his auditors on
an average were reviving themselves
with two beers. In financial panics
or flush times, the amount of money
handed over the bar for beer averages
10 cents per day for each inhabitant
of the Garden city.
During 1907 Walla Walla consumed
12,227,6S0 glasses of the foamy nee
tar. If 1t takes five glasses Of beer
to make an optimist, the canopy must
be pearly lined and diamond studded
for the bibulous Walla Wallan. Every
glass of optimism costs at least a
nickle, some Of 1t a bit, which re-
solves itself into $611,3S4, being spent
over the bar last year. II you are
mathematically inclined and divided
this sum by the 10000 residents in
Walla Walla, you will find It equals
SCI for each inhabitant.
