Mankind is called upon to suffer
many things when passing through
this vale of tears. The following
piquant note appeared in one of the
Sunday papers:
"Correction-bi the recipe given last
week for spiced beef, the words five
minutes should he -four hours"
The young and devoted Olympia
housewife who followed the advice
given the previous r,eek, and nearly
killed her husband, would like to
know the name and address of the
culprit.
An Olympia man paid visit to
Victoria, b. c., recently, and in
speaking about it says he stepped
into a saloon and called for glass of
real, genuine English ale. He also
says. if the entrapcing and delight
ful beverage was placed on sale in
the United States in as pure and
unadulterated condition, as is sold
over the salOon-bars in that typical
English city, regular trips would be
run to it.
A song with the title There's a
Sigh in the Heart was sent by a
young Olympia swain to his sweet
heart; but the paper fell into the
hands of the girls father, q very un-
sentimental physician, who exclaimed:
What wretched unscientitic rub
bish is this? Who ever heard of
such a case?'
He wrote on the margin:
Mistaken diagnosis; no sigh in
the heart possible. Sighs relate al
most entirely to the lungs and dia-
phragm!'
A French zoologist has made a dis
cOvery which he calls the hook
worm" This will constitute a new
and valid excuse for laziness. The
fellow who would rather lie in bed
than get out and earn his own living
is to be pitied and not scolded. In
stead of coming to him with u horse
whip, we should bring a bottle of
germ-killer to squirt down his
throat or inject under his skin.
There are a large multitude of lazy
lOuts who will be very grateful to
this Frenchman for his discovery.

tween the reclamation service and
the electric company is unfair to
the consumer. Many farmers use
electricity, aud many more will use
it as opportunity offers. They in
common with the business men Of
Phoenix are interested in the abro-
CATION of the contract if it is found
to be unfair. Not only Is the
farmer directly interested in this
matter, but indirectly so because,
like freight bills on mercha ndise,
electric light and power costs are
added to the farmers bills.
Good roads is also a subject re-
celving the attention of the local
commercial bodies. Nothing affects
the value Of farm more than the
country roads. A poor road is a
direct additional cost TO the bill for
marketing produce. The farmer who
needs roads for hauling his wares
to town often knows better than
anybody else what should be done
for road betterment. The board
of trade is always ready to fight
for good roads. Let the farmer
get in touch with that body and
help in the good work. The cost
in time or money will be small bu,
the results are sure to be of great
value.
In fact, the progress OF town
and country must go hand in hand.
