HUNTING ACCIDENTS.

4n1s IS the season of the year when
men without any experience whatever
in the handling of firearms go forth
into the woods and fields in search of
game and through their careiessness
ana ignorance contribute to the trag-
edy records and the work of the hos
pitals Now the huntsman shoots a
companion, mistakfng him for game
Again he shoots himself, perhaps drag
glng his gun after him as he climbs
fence, maybe falling to observe the
common precautions regarding loading
and unloading. Scarcely a day passes
without bringing the news of some such
unnecessary disaster. attributable in
almost every case to the inexperience
or the reckiessness of the hunter. So
often are men shot by others through
mistake in the woods that this has
come to be recognized as a distinct
form OF casualty, and every year a GER
tain number of deaths and woundings
in the woods may be anticipated.
Men go into the woods to hunt with
out experience With the same readi-
ness that they go upon the water. The
summer boating accident is almost in
vartably the result of inexperience.
Some parents allow their children to
go out with guns without any thought
whatever for the possible consequent
ces. They learn too late the. truth that
firearms make poor playthings for the
young.-Washingto Star.
INCREASING HER CHANCES
A wisconsin woman has advertised
for husband, but. not in the ordinary
way. She isn't advertising because
she is anxious to marry. but because
publicity affords her a wider choice
when she is ready to choose. In the
minor town where she resides the
available masculine element is small
and pretty thoroughly picked over. BY
advertising she reaches new and wide
ly scattered material and thus may
find a life partner who is entirely to
her liking. In short, she steps out of
the petty home market and appeals to
the markets of the state. Naturally,
it will be assumed that the lady is
merely out for the entertainment that
may be found in an extended cor
respondence. On the contrary, she is
a business woman, SO years old, of
sound health and good complexion,
with the title deeds to farm and with
money in the bank. It Will be seen
that the man who wins her will secure
an unmistakable prize.
There is food for thought in this |
Wisconsin woman's course. In her ex-
PLANTATION of the causes that led her |
to seek the columns of the press, she |
says that if other women followed her |
example there would be fewer old |
maids and more happy marriages. |
Advertising would enable the woman |
who lives in small town to choose
for herself and not-as she expresses |
it-be compelled to wait the sweet |
will of the marrying men of the COM |
munity.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

A WORD FOR THB cHURcHEs

We have not much sympathy with
the stories being circulated about
the lack of warmth and sympathy
in the churches towards strangers.
1t is our experience that there are
good people In every church who
make 1T a point to pick out the
strangers in the congregation to
make them welcome. The trouble
with the visitors who have failed to
find a friendly welcome is that
they enter the church with chips
on their shoulders and pass out with
frozen faces which chill the kindly
advances which otherwise would be
made. The man or woman looking
for slight will always find it and
the man or woman looking for
friends viii not be disappointed

Gently from field of 10 of the best
runners in the west, last night de-
clared that he owes his success to

Petitan, in an automobile, followed
Corey along the route and kept him
supplied with champagne.
He covered the &c miles in hours
and 81 minutes and 80 seconds, which
was only 16 minutes behind the
worlds record. When he finished he
was apparently as strong and fresh
as when he started, while all of his
competitors had either quit from
fatigue or crossed the line in state
bordering on collapse.
So strong was he at the finish that

ed States Forest Service selected c.
H. Flory from the ranks of forest as
sistants in the west, February 1, to
become supervisor of the Snoqualmie
and Wenatchee divisions of the
Washington national forest, the ap-
pointment was not only indorsed by
his superior officers and a wide hose
of friends in the service, but by the
people of the state, as Mr.. Flory has
made remarkable impression upon
the public by his spirit of fairness
and desire to serve both the govern
ment and the people for the best in
terests of all concerned.
c. H. FlOry is only 27 years old,
the youngest forest supervisor in
the west. He has been in the service

and by his desire to go to the bottom
of everything he undertook with a
view of knowing all there is to know
about it.

200 VISITORS
FOR WENATCHEE
Big Methodist Conference Gathering
Coming in September.

Two hundred or more visitors are
planning to visit Wenatchee in a
body during September.
They constitute the ministerial and
lay delegates to the next annual con-
vention of the Methodist Columbia
Valley conference. These visitors
are from Eastern Washington and
also from Northern Oregon and
Western Idaho.
The MethOdists of Wenatchee and
vicinity are already arranging to in
crease the present seating capacity of
their local edifice by putting in a
gallery that they may better accom-
modate the guests in September.
The local church is already the
fourth largest in the district, there
being two in Spokane and one in
North Yakima with a greater seating
capacity than the Wenatchee edifice
The coming of these two hundred
visitors will be of great advertising :
advantage to Wenatchee, and the
citizens should plan to entertain
them in such substantial manner as
will send them home enthusiastic
over the city.
