STILL HOTTER IN KANSAS.

1t has been pretty hot here, but it
must have been worse in Kansas, if
there is any truth in letter received
from there the other day 1t said that
the only man who dared to go out in
the hot sun was a painter and he was
out painting the sunny side of a barn.
He was up on ladder quite ways
from the ground, and had not been
there very long before the bottom
melted out of his paint bucket, letting
the paint all ruin out on the ladder
The paint Immediately caught fire and
set the ladder on fire. 1t burned till
it broke under the weight of the he
roic painter, letting him fall some
20 feet to the ground He had one OF
MS legs broken in the fall and was
compelled to lay there all afternoon
as no one would go out and rescue
him on account of the heat

SAW DRUGSTORE AHEAD.

On a certain steamer touching at
the local wharf is a young Irishman
who is learning the ways of the river.
And he will come to know them in
time, although he is only a rooster"
now. Some time ago the boat was
coming up the river on a night that
was as black as a peck of SCOT To
avoid collisions a lookout was placed
forward on a barge that was being
pushed ahead of the steamer. One
hour during the night Pat had the
watch. Suddenly he gave a loud shout
to "Sthop the boat
| "What'e the matter?" sung out the
| pilot as he leaned out of his house,
peering ahead in the darkness.
| "Sumpin ahead, SIR answered Pat
from the darkness,
What is it-can you make it out?'
asked the anxious pilot
"Yis, sor,' replied the watchful look
tout. at looks loike drug store"
II Pat had seen the red and greer
lights used for sidelights on anothe
steamer.

WORSE THAN GOAT.

A few nights ago an industrious
young man was at work in his gar
den in an outlying part of the city.
1t was hot, and he was working hard,
so he removed his shirt. and left it
hanging on the fence A few minutes
later he returned. and his shirt was
gone. Looking about, he saw on the
other side of the fence, his shirt rap
idly disappearing down the throat of
calf. He managed to rescue most of
the garment, after lively scuffle with
the calf.

LADIES AID ENTER
TA|NS DELEGATES

The visiting ministers are very en-
thusiastic over the way they have
been entertained in Wenatchee and
ETY. at the church. This organization
took the responsibility upon them
selves of furnishing the visiting dele
gates with luncheon and dinner in
the basement of the church. Each
day a relay of forty women took
charge of the entertainment and the
systematic manner in which the work
was done partly explains the success
of the undertaking. The ladies
served from 400 to 500 meals each
day, and the work that this required
can be easily imagined. On Thurs
day the w. c. T. U. organization had
charge of the dining-rooms.
The material used in providing this
cally donated by the ladies who were
in charge and their friends. The
ranchers also came to the aid of the
organization. They brought in mel
ons and fruit in abundance, and thus
not only came to the assistance of the
ladies of the church but impressed
on the visiting delegates the spirit of
Wenatchee's hospitality.
This is the last day in which meals
will be served in the basement, the
ministers being entertained in pri-
vate homes during the rest of the con-
ference.
The officers of the ladies' aid are:
President, Mrs. DR.. J. D. Blake, vice
president, Mrs. ]. Bullock and Mrs. S.
A. Thompson secretary, and in behalf
of the organization they desire to
thank everyone who so literally aided
them in their work.
The visiting delegates have nothing
but the highest praise for the ladies,
some of them saying that ''the meals
are getting better every day and the
ladies better looking" But, though
the gentlemen intended this as COM
plimentary. it is well known that the
ladies OF Wenatchee have always been
recognized as perfection in these two
essentials.

The ladies of the Methodist church
who are supplying the meals in the
basement of the church deserve
great praise for the manner in which
they are catering to the physical
comfort of the visiting clergymen
The gentlemen have nothing but the
highest praise for the ladies, some
of them saying that 1.-The meals are
getting better every day and the
ladies better looking" But, though
the gentlemen intend this as compli-
mentary, it is well known that the
ladies of Wenatchee have always
been recognized as perfection in the
matter of good looks, and you can't
improve on perfection. 1t is absurd
to try and paint the lily.
