Dispatches from Queenstown, relating
to the e perience Of the long delayed

be replaced do you happen to be
anywhere near the ateier where
your rich and graceful garment
took on shape and form in the pro-
portions of your own manliness.
This strange tailor wakes inquisi-
tive. Who made the coatf How
long have you worn it? What was
the cost? Are you thinking of or
dering another, for you viii, Judg-
ing from Appearances, soon need
one? As to the button-nO, he has
none like it. It seems to hare been
of a somewhat archaic style. They
are worn no more. He has nothing
even similar in design or shape or
general style. You viii have -
have a new set entirely, both Of the
large buttons and the small ones.
Then you are astounded by the
number of buttons that are neces-
sary for the full and proper equip
ment of your coat. There are but
tons to the right and buttons to the
left; buttons in front and buttons
behind; buttons you never knew
you had, and buttons of which you
do not know the use or reason. You
protest that the sewing on of all
these buttons must have been a
work of supererogation on the part
of your tailor, but this is dismissed
with shrug and a deprecatory
look that leaves you defenseless.
In a trice all the old buttons are
removed, some of which you knew
fairly well and hate TO part with,
but all must go. Strange new but
tons are shown for your inspection
and approval. You approve them
while in a trance, and then new but
tons grow where once the old ones
were, and your lunch hour has gone
to join the missing button whose
strange and nefaTious conduct or
infamous abduction brought about
this upsetting of the mind, disar-
rangement of the day, and disorder
in life.
When your hour of ease has ar
rived and you have recovered suf-
ficiently from the shock to ponder
more or less clearly upon the prob
lem, you wonder why you had TO
lose a button, why it could not
have been so attached to your coat
that the cloth would have parted
before it would have yielded to the
opportunities of the button? Why
do not the tailors arise to the de-
mands of the times2
But if buttons must go then why
have to replace all because one is
missing? Why this infinite variety?
Why not have a standard button as
we have standard parts of a watch
or of an automobile? Why have
more buttons than we need? Why
have buttons that we not only
never use but never even see or
know OF until they are to be re-
placedi
Here are problems of the day cry
ing out for a solution. Here are

students of economy. Here are

Favorable Decision.

Attorney I. N. Smith has received
word from Asotin to the effect that
the lewiston Charleston company
has secured favorable decision In
the case of the company against
Mrs. Alice SHAFT and daughter.
In this action the company sought
to condemn a right-of-way through
the defendants property for the
purpose of laying a water main to
be used In the development of the

were contested by Mrs. SHAFT and
daughter on the grounds that the
company did not need the amount
of land sought. and the route Sc
lected was not the logical one for
serving the company's property.
The matter Of the amount OF
damages to be paid will be deter
