BEAUTY SPOTS.

TO whiten the hands rub them first
with lemon Juice and afterward with
dry salt. -
Red spots which have been left on
the face by pimples will look better
after being massaged gently with cold
cream.
Equal quantities of glycerin and
benzoin rubbed into the finger joints
night and morning will keep the fin
gers supple.
An excellent massaging emollient for
the neck, bust and arms is made by
mixing one ounce of cocoa butter and
two ounces of lanolin.
Lanolin should never be used alone
on the skin, but when combined with
white wax and spermaceti it is a
most excellent tissue builder and wrin-
kle eradicator.
If your complexion is rough and
flaky, it is possible that you should put
some softening agent in the bathing
water, or else the soap you are using
does not agree with your skin.

Spring Valley Couple Wed in Spokane

A very pretty wedding occurred last
Friday afternoon in Spokane. when Miss
Maud l.. jerks was married to William
Elmer, of Spring Valley. Friends of the
couple had for some time past suspected
that the parties were contemplating
marriage, but not till Saturday were
their suspicious confirmed.
Mrs. Elmer is the daughter of Mrs.
jerks, of Penrith, and is we'll known
throughout this part of the country,
where she has resided with her mother
for several years.
Mr. Elmer is a well known and popu-
lar young man of Spring Valley, where
he has resided for the past eleven years.
He is the owner of one of the finest
timothy ranches in the valley. and last
fall constructed handsome dwelling on
his property. and it was this fact that
made his friends think things.
After the ceremony in Spokane the
happy couple left for their home in
Spring Valley, and Monday evening
they were pleasantly surprised by large
number of their friends, who had called
to tender their congratulations and best

Colville Getting Busy.

While Colville seems to haye given up
the auto scheme for connection v it'll the
Metaline district, and has little hope for
for rail connection. its business men
are active in devising means for getting
in touch with that section and control
ling its trade. A telephone franchise is
being asked from the county to enable
its projectors to build a "hello" line
from Colyille 10 Metaline, and now a
stage line across the mountains is con-
templated. Meanwhile Newport is do
ing nothing to get telephone line down
the valley, and a proposed telephone
line, which means local exchange and
a line clear down the valley, has been
before the council for FIVE months and
seems as far from passing as ever. It is
time for us to get busy. The last States
man-Index contained the following:
G. B. Ide and George Camp will leave
next Sunday for the Metaline country
in order to investigate the feasibility OF
a stage line between Colville and Meta
line. This is the only practical plan for
transportation between the two points.
The automobile was not practicaland a
railroad is impossible at this time and
may never be built, but stage line can
be operated successfully from all view
points.

to establish triweekly service. They

Colville, Wash, Jan. 21.-Ex-Sheriff
G. B. Ide, of this city, returned Sunday
from trip over the wagon road from
this city to Metaline, and reports the
road in fine condition for winter travel.
The distance is about 40 miles. The
depth of snow on the summit of the
range between lone and the head of
Deep Greek is about three feet, and the
travel is sufficient to keep the road open

The First House Of Commons.

The earliest traces Of the English
house Of commons are found in the
year 1855. That year Simon de Mont
fort, earl Of Leicester, caused wits to
be issued in the kings name requiring
each sheriff of county to return to
parliament which he proposed to
hold two knights for the shire under
his jurisdiction, two citizens for each
city within its limits and two bur-
gesses for each borough The parlia-
ment thus called met in London on
Jan. %, 1865, and was practically the
first in which the people, an dis
tinguishsd from the nobility and
aristocrafy, had ever participated. It
was not until the revolution of 1888,
however, that the people were fairly
and squarely represented in parlia-
ment. The house of commons is to-
day the supreme power in England.
It's will is law, the lords and king be-
ing, ss Walter Bagehot long ago de-
clared, men ornamental" The power
Of the crown in England is merely
nominal, as is that also of the house
Of lords. When the people speak out

Liking For Brown Wall Effects.

The increasing liking for chocolate
tones in a library or sitting room Is
worthy Of remark. Engravings and

Oil paintings, show well against it, and
the brown shades are restful to the
eye, particularly If the room is sunny
one.
The difference between chocolate and
mustard tones must be understood.
For dark room or one with north

with lower wall showing small dark

in the first. Jim Williams sent fair
ly high and hot one to center field. 1t
looked like a sure single, but Ohashi
ran for it and caught it neatly at full
speed.
En- Sue also made a very spectaeu-
lar catch in the sixth. Sasaki skied
and the ball went foul off third base,
but En- Sue ran for it and caught the
ball just before he caromed into the
third base bleachers. Apart from this
En- Sue played a mighty good game.
He was very fit, and worked like a
Trojan. He never failed to reach first
every time he was at the bat, and
mostly reached second, and in one in
stance third.
Barney JOY hit two-bagger in the
eighth down by center field that would
have been a home run for a Splinter
like En- Sue. AS it was, the big man
reached second in plenty of time. 1t
was an awful swat and brought forth
rounds of applause from the bleachers,
Jack Doyle and Company included.
The Saints were in a very tight box
in the eighth, but they came out of it
with flying colors. Takahama singled
and Abe went to first on a tumble by
Bushnell Then Kanki sacrificed and
Takahama and Abe went to third and
second. With only one man down and
second and third occupied, it looked
very bad. The coaches and fans did
their best to get Bushnell ratified, but
there was nothing doing in that line,
and both Koyama and Fukuda were
served with nice easy. ones that they
placed surely down by first, where
they were easily put out.
1t looked like the Saints from the
time they went in to bat. They show
ed that they were tuned up for the
game, and played with snap and go
from the first. En- Sue went to first
on Higo's error, Bushnell skied while
En- Sue stole second. Then Jim Will
liam skied and Ohashi made his pretty
catch Joy reached first on shortstop
Sasaki s error, and En- Sue went to
third. Barney walked to second dur

HENRY BUSHNELL PITCHES
FAST AND CLEVER GAME
Saints Whitewash the Keios to O---Fast and
Snappy Game---Ohashi Makes Clever
Running Catch.

slimly-built youth went on the
field yesterday at the ball park, stood
in the box, twisted himself into the
usual pitchers eontortions, and began
to do things. He not only began, but
he kept it up for nine innings, and the
little japanese players were white
washed.
The feature of his pitching was the
steadiness of it. He never got ratified
and the most tremendous efforts of
Kanki and Ohashi in the coachers
boxes were unable to feaze him for a
second. Once or twice it looked dam
gerous for the Saints, but Henry was
always there with the iee-bound nod
die, and took the advice of one burly
rooter who begged him to keep cool
and take his time.
1t was fast and snappy game. 1t
is true that Jack Doyle and Jack
Junior had few opportunities for gloat-
ing, but the Keios played their usual
fast and clever game and made the
Saints work their hardest to tally four
on them
Perhaps the main feature of the
game, outside of Bushnell's pitching,
was running catch made by Ohashi

There is a whole lot of wondering

get back there, Seine say that he will

himself at the Emperor s court and re-

rooter who has so often cheered them
on to victory and encouraged them dur
ing defeat.
