MOTHER AND son UNITED
AFTER LONG SEPARATION

Mrs. Fila Kenrey, who has
lived in Ellensbu-g and vicinity
Tor the past fen years, received a
letter stating that her long lost son
was in Seattle, for which city she

her conversation she said that her
son left their home in Grand Rap
Ids, Michigan, when quite a small
boy. bound for San Francisco,
and though she most heartily pro
tested against his goiug il was ali

he left home, she learned that he
had shipped on vessel for cruise
around the Horn, and later on that
the vessel was foundered. From
that time to this weel, she had
never heard a word OF him, and
long since gave him up as lost.
Early in the week she heard Of him
being on the streets Of Seattle and
was seen by an old schoolnate OF
boyhood days in Grand Rapids.
1t was also stated that it was
true that the vessel sank; that her
son was the only one on board to
reach the shore and tell the story.
Mrs. Kenney left Wednesday for
Seattle to join her son and of course

Starving Enthusiasm

If you expect your clerks to
be enthusiastic about the store
and the business, see that you
give them reason to be, says a
contemporary. Nothing will
starve to death much quicker
than enthusiasm" 1t is pretty
bard for the most loyal en-
ploye to get enthusiastic about
a business that isn't effectively
advertised. Requiring a clerk
to push goods that have not
had the advantage of newspa-
per introduction is like asking
carpenter to work with dull
tools. The lact of enthusiasm
so obvious to the merchant who
fails TO grasp his advertising
opportunity is very likely to
communicate itself to his sales

SunflOwer Wisdom,

Some men don't kuow much,
but they always know enough
to think of the meanest thing
After people pass a certain
age they begin to talk less
about poetry and N IRE about
how awfully hard it is to save
their money.
The LATEST animal we know
anything about is a pug dog.
And the pug dog is always puff
ing around as if it were about
worked to death.
A man who is loved by a
woman has no liberty. A mar
ried man who looks at a pretty
girl, except as he looks at a
catfish or a spring rabbit or a
turtle or any other ordinary
thing, is untrue to his plighted
troth.
Most people have two kinds
OF manners; one they use in the
kitchen. and the other one they
save for parlor use. You new
err know a man until you know
his kitchen manners. One rea-
son that marriage brings out so
mauy unpleasant surprises is
that the courtship was based
on parlor manners.
There is a notion that men
never admire a woman who is
popular with the women. There
is nothing in it. Men always
admire the women who are dis.
tinguished for behaving them
selves. They may pay atten
ton to the other kind, but it il
the same sort of attention thai
a wolf gives a sheep when be
lies and watches it all day, il

Short Weight Congress.

The House of How Not to Do
1t have adjourned. 1t was
time For however hating they
NAV have been 10 the way OF do
ing work, they were up to the
minute when il came to appro.
priating public money. This
congress was another billion
dollar congress. Aud here is
what the country got for that
billion dollars:
Al employers liability law.
Apparently good one.
A child labor law for the Dis
trict OF Columbia. This also
seems to be good measure.
A patchwork emergency cur
rency law that satisfies no one,
not even the men who jammed
it through.
A-A-well, you will have to
excuse US, out that is about all.
We would like to add that con-
gress did we'll IN refusing TO
pass some laws. Beverage S
child labor scheme, for instance
would have wiped out every
state line, and made a national
bureau all but omnipotent; and
we are exceeding glad that for
whatever reason congress de
clined to take Rooseveit's bat.
tleship program seriously. Add
these works of omission to those
OF commission, and you have a
billion dollars worth-perhaps.
But some of the things that
the country expected touget for
that nice little sum are conspic-
nous by their absence. The in
heritance tax. for instance, and
the free wood pulp, the cam
paign fund publicity bill, the
bill establishing tariff com
mission, all these and many
more were leftaout. II ever a
congress gave a nation short
weight for its money the sixth
eth congress has done so by
these United States, 1t has
finished nothing. 1t has made
provision 10 finish nothing.
The President has been streuu
ously endeavoring to get the
Republican party the credit for
a national waterways policy,
and has appointed a national
waterways commission to lnves-
tigate and gather information.
The commission has already
information enough-informa-
tion thrust upon it by wait,
ing chambers of commerce
to proceed to business on q
broad, comprehensive plan. In
stead of comforting the power
to so proceed, congress votes
to continne the commission anC
appropriate just enough money
to do this. Denver News.
