RULES FOR SUCCESS IN LIFE.
Apportion Each Days Work and Give
Every Energy to it.

The over-scrupulous and methodi-
cal individual who can neither sleep
nor take a vacation until all the af-
fairs of his life are arranged must
remind himself that this happy con-
summation will not be attained in his
lifetime, says Lippincott's. 1t be-
hooves him, therefore, if he is ever
to sleep, or If he is ever to take a
vacation, to do it now, nor need he
postpone it indefinitely.
The days work should he started
with the resolution that every task
shall be taken up in its turn, with
out doubts and without forebodings,
that bridges shall not be crossed I'M
til they are reached, that the vagaries
of others shall amuse and interest,
not distress us, and that we shall live
! in the present, not in the past nor in
the future. We must avoid under
j taking too much, and whatever we
undertake We must try not to worry
as to whether we shall succeed This
I only prevents our succeeding. We
should devote all our efforts to the
/ task itself, and remember that ever
failure under these circumstances
may be better than success at the ex
pense of prolonged nervous agitation

CITY CONDEMNA-
TON CASES
IN MATTER OF
REGRADE OF WENATCHEE
AVENUE APPROACH FINAL
STAGE OF PROCEEDINGS.

City Attorney William A. Grim
shaw is occupied in the final stages
of preparation of certain of the city
the regrade of Wenatchee avenue
The proceeding is actually one big
case brought by the municipal cor
poratiOn against all the property
owners abutting on Wenatcheo ave-
nue. as Defendants. but for practical
purposes it will resolve itself more
or less into special cases against va
rious defendants or groups of them.
Judge Steiner announced at the
last term of court here that he
would give over all of his time dur
ing the June term to the hearing of
this matter. Accordingly the city s
business will take precedence over
all other matters during Judge
Steiner's sojourn here next month.
Attorney Grimshaw has just re-
ceived word from the Judge that he
will be here next Monday, June /, to
set cases in this condemnation suit,
and the hearing of the cases set at
that time will begin sometime dur
ing the second week of the month,
it is expected.
This condemnation suit of the city
of Wenatchee, which is, as above
stated series of cases, is without
doubt one of the biggest and most
far reaching matters of litigation
ever instituted in this state. 1t af-
fects several hundred defendants,
and involves property interests run
ming into the hundred thousands.
1t is not expected that all of the
cases can be heard at this June term,
but Attorney Grimshaw will leave no
stone unturned to push the proceed
ings forward as rapidly as possible.
The unfinished cases will be set
down for a hearing at the next sue
ceeding term of court, or, If occasion
demands, a special session will be
asked, a privilege which is possible
in condemnation proceedings of this
sort

A PLEASANT
BIRTHDAY SURPRISE

Quite a pleasant surprise too place
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Barclay
at high noon, Sunday, May "a, 1908.
The festive occasion was in honor of
Miss Beulah's seventeenth birthday.
While Beulah was in attendance at
the memorial services number of
young ladies gathered at her home
and hid about the house to await her
return. To say that the young lady
was surprised on ushering her friend
into one of the bedrooms to remove
her wraps is very mild way of ex-
pressing her excitement when she be-
held the twelve intruders.
She readily forgave them, how
ever, except the one who was "too
sick to leave home that morning un-
der any circumstances"
The merry maidens then repaired
to the dining-room. The luncheon
was prepared by the mother of the
victim, and was a feast fit for
queen. After the feast had been done
full justice to Miss Beulah was the
recipient of many very pretty, dainty
and useful gifts as reminders OF the
happy event. The young ladies then
INDUCED in happy and light-hearted
conversation for the rest Of the after
noon, and the Joyous party departed
with many good wishes for Miss Beu-
iah In the future. Those present were
as follows: Florence Huling, Jessie
Huling, Nellie Buttles. Stella Adams.
Mary Katsenbarger. Mabel Grow.
Estella Grow, vilettA Guthrie Z,ola
McCardell, Eva AcAllister, Nellie

visit to the American universities,
colleges and public schools. This
year the National Civic Federation of
America, in conjunction with the Mer-
camille Marine company, arranged Il
return of the visit. The number OF
visiting teachers is limited, and they
are chosen from the various sections
of America. Miss Case will inspect
training colleges, and will also spend
much of the time in study in Cam
bridge University and in German
university. Miss Case is a graduate
of Kansas State university, and was
afterward a student of Chicago Uni
