hoped He Wouldn't Grow,

A well known member OF parliamen,
was addressing an agricultural meet.
ing in the south Of England and in the
course of his remarks expressed the
opinion that farmers do not sufficiently
vary their crops and make mistake
in always sowing wheat.
One of the audience opposed to him
In politics asked him what crops he
would recommend. q,
Everything In turn" he replied.
"Well,' said his interlocutor, III
gwedes don't come up what thene'
Sow mustard" said the NJ. p.
And If mustard doesn't come up
what them"
And SO he went on through a whole
list Of crops until, the NJ. P.'s patience
being exhausted, he put an end to his
questioning amid roars Of laughter by
saying:
"Oh, SOW yourself, and I hope ycv
won't come up"

At His Word.

Many postoffice names are queer
enough to make one desire an explana-
ton Of them. Sometimes the explana-
ton Is queerer than the name itself. A
minister in Cass county wrote to
Washington In behalf Of the residents
Of a growing hamlet asking that q
postoffice be added to its institutions,
The request was favorably received.
and he was asked to suggest a name
that would be acceptable to his neigh.

wltehsraf In the Nineteenth Century

Most people believe that witchcraft
among civilized people ended when the
Salem witch mania" ran its course
and died out in the year 1892. It did
a. far as America Is concerned, except
among savages, but in other countries
the belief in the superstition did not
die until much later date, even II 1t
can be truly said to be dead now. In
France an old beggar was tortured tc
death as late rs 1907 on the charge OF
being one who "communed with evil
spirits" and in Spain a witch was
burned In 1903. In 1850 In France 4
man and his wife tortured suspected
witch to death, and nothing at all was
done with them by the criminal courts
on account Of the lingering belief in
sorcery. Four years later a witch was
drowned I'm England. and in 1860 one
was burned in Mexico. In 1874, 1879,
1880 and again in 1899 witches We're
publicly burned In Russia, and even
as late as 1890 regular judicial trials
Of witches We're had in Prussia, Pc
land and Austria Hungary.

hyperhoie.

A Rochester clergyman was accus-
toned to use scientific terms, which the
people did not understand. A deputa.
ton waited on him with the request
that In the future whenever he used
such terms he would explain them. On
the following Sunday he used the term
hyperbole and added: "As agreed on,
beg to explain this word. Were l to
say that at this moment the whole Of
my congregation are sound asleep It
would be hyperbole, but II I say that
one-half are asleep that Is no hyper
bole, but the truth" The next day the
deputation again called to say that the
minister need not explain technical
terms. The people would learn their
meaning from a ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

THE WONDERS
SPOKANE WINS FIRST GAME OF
SERIES-PLAY WHITMAN
TOMORROW.

| Running around the diamond nine
times, while the Wonders were only
able to negotiate one tally, the Spokane
Indians yesterday defeated the local
team. The game was somewhat ragged
the chilly weather taking all the ginger
out of the men.
The opening game of the season was
we'll attended, some 500 fans assembling
in the blue chill of the supposed spring
atmosphere to see the first horsehide
handling of the season.
| The game was not fast, neither was
it replete with errors, the Wonders
making but four while the better
trained visitors got away with but
one black mark The local team has
not been together enough to do fast
fielding work yet and that, together
with the fact that they were playing
team which has been working out for
| some weeks, accounted for the lop
sided score. Everything considered the
home boys showed remarkable form
and give every promise Of doing good
work later in the season.
Play Whitman Tomorrow.
Tomorrow at 3:45, the Whitman
college team will try conclusions with
the visitors. The Missionary team is
fast one and one which, judging from
yesterdays work, is likely to prove
match for the bunch Of redskins from
the city by the falls. Coach Frost has
his men in good shape and they will
give a good account of themselves.
The game will be called on Ankeny
day, both probably at 3:45. On Thurs
day afternoon the Wonders will again

ENGINEERS SEEKING
NORTH COAST ROUTE
IDRIVEN OUT OF CASCADES BY
HEAVY SHOWS, CREWS TAKE
TO FIELD AGAIN. S

TACOMA. April 6.-North Coast en-
gineers who run lines on the western
slope OF the Cascades last fall and in
the early part of the winter, until
driven out by the snow, already have
entered the Cowlitz pass region this
spring. j. @. Goble of Randle, a little
town in the upper COwlitz river valley,
arrived here today, and reports that
Engineer Collins, who was at the head
of the North Coast surveyors that Ope-
rated in the mountains last fall, arrived
at Randle ten days ago, and is now
accommodating, with one man as helper
in the country above the Muddy Fork
river.
1t is his purpose to plan feasible
routes for the surveying party to run
lines.
The North Coast surveyors are not
entirely satisfied with the route
through the Skate creek country lying
between Bear prairie and the Muddy
Fork. This is a mountainous region,
Offering unusual engineering difficulties.
Within q week or so Collins will be fol-
lowed into the mountains by his corps
of surveyors and a pack train, and the
surveying work will be pushed hard
during the spring months
