greatly, for really every time the
seal mods it seems as if it must go,
but it mods and mods and still man
ages to bring its head up in time ana
stay on the table. And then maybe
its head drops so far that in recover
ing it the seal does all but lose its
balance, and at that a little murmur
runs around the pool and the people
settle down to watch more intently
still.
And if they stay long enough, as
they are pretty sure to do, they are
rewarded. The first thing you know
the sleeping seals head drops too
far down. till its nose all but touches
the water and he gives his head and
shoulders a jerk and tries to recover
himself, but this time he's too far
over and away he goes off the table
headfirst into the water, and then a
buzz runs around among the watching
people and everybody smiles and
you hear some people exclaiming, ex.
pressing their interest audibly.
The seal takes little short, easy
turn around in the water and comes
back and climbs up again on the
table, raises is head there and takes
a look around at the people and then
lies down and goes to sleep again.
And many stay to see him fall off
again. while in place of those who
move on others stop to look, and so
there are always lots of people deep
ly interested, men, women and chill
dren, standing silently around the
seal pool waiting to see the seal fall
off the table

AAkSH WORDS FOR
THE STEWARDS
IT WAS TIP, TIP, TIP ALL THE
TIME ON THE TRANSPORT
SHERMAN, OR NO MEALS -

"Our delight in being permitted to
leave the Sherman can hardly be ex-
pressed in Words in the ways one OF
III eladieS from the quarantined trans.
Iport expressed il yesterday afternoon
II was so cold over there on the north
side OF the river, and besides, we were
so badly crowded. And then, you
know the mealS"
"But everything pales into absolute
insignihcance besides the question Of
the tips" broke in 4 masculine voice
that came from a figure OF soldierly
bearing, Its tip, tip, tip all the
time. Tip, or get nothing to eat; tip.
or have no towels; tip, or have q life
a burden TO you The waters were
the worst set OF cool, calculating,
cruel, Scoundrelly robbers that ever !
ran into Dear Lord, il some OF them
would only enter the service and set
into my command Without the
slightest exaggeration ! may say that
ii you didn't tip at supper time you
simpy could not get breakfast"
There SENS TO be little question
that the tipping on the transport is
more than mere vexatious matter
So aggravating did il become, accord
ing 10 several OF the civilian passen.
gers, that il was looked upon as
merely outrageous The fact that
even the ofiicyers Of the army and
navy who were making the trip on
leave on the Sherman were subjected
to and were compelled 10 give in 10
the organized demands OF the walters
goes TO show that resistance was
hardly possible.
The tipping evil in this aggravated
form probably Is possible on the
transport Sherman because OF the
peculiar conditions that obtain on the
vessel. Civilians and discharged sol
diers and others who have been in the
government service in the insular
for certain number OF
years, are permitted to come home
on the transport free OF charge, ex-
cept that a certain payment is requir
cd for the meals. The waters are an
independent lot and may leave the
ship at the first port. II complaint
is 10 be made, there seems no one
to complain to that has any real au-
thority over the walters, and hence
arises the trouble. The above is the
story OF the suffering passengers; the
walters side OF the story has not
been heard as yet.

properly be characterized as alarm

at the Astoria docks from the quar-
antined transport Sherman last even
ing. Perhaps il would not be saying
too much to state that the Nippon
nese government is on the verge OF
national bankruptcy, The finances OF
the country seems to be tottering TO

The speaker has been in the CON
sular service at Nasagaki for many
years. He wished that his name
might not appear in an interview be-
cause OF his official position,
so eager is the government TO
secure funds, even in small amounts,
that it is paying 6 per cent on its

Asked what was the real senti.
ment OF the Japanese people towards
the Americans, he replied; upon the
whole it was and is friendly enough,
though there is no question but that
the Japanese people have resented
the attitude taken by California and
San Francisco in the troubles there,
and especially do they resent the
legislation to keep all coolic
labor out of the States. Since the
Russian war. the Japanese people
have grown to have a wonderfully
good opinion OF themselves, and are
disposed to bitterly resent anything
that reflects in any way on their ma
ton"

MORE TROUBLE IN STORE
FOR CIGARETTE DEALERS

Again things look bad for smokers
of the innocent-looking cigarettes, for
a campaign to arrest all dealers who
dispose of them, has been started on
the west side Of the state, and bids
fair to soon spread to this part of the
state, says the Walla Walla States
man. Since the Spokane court held
that the provision was constitutional,
dealers all over the state. who were
selling the coffin nails openly have
reversed their tactics and the Sticks
were being handed out on the sly.
However not only those who dis
pose of tailored" cigarettes are to
come under the ban, for warrants
have been issued on the west side for
dealers who have been selling the
"makings' in defiance of the anti
cigarette law, passed by the legisla
ture in 1907. Three warrants have
been drawn by the prosecuting attor-
ney of Pierce county. who announces
that the arrests will be made imme-
diately
The law is explicit in forbidding the
sale of cigarettes and cigarette pa
pers but nothing is said about the to-
bacco, as it is evident if the neces-
sary ingredients and the finished ar
ticle itself are suppressed, there will
not be many cigarettes smoked. The
penalties provided by the law are as
follows: "a fine of from so to $50
for the first offense and 500 to $500
for the second offense"
