Nis lady's Presses.

Sarah, the first Duchess of Marlbor- ough, whose tempestuous character lacked many of the ordinary graces of womanliness, was yet sincerely loved l by the two persons who knew her best her husband, the Duke of Marlbor- ough, and the good" Queen Anne. Among the many pictures which Mir. Fitzgerald Molloy. the biographer of the duchess, incorporated in his Life" is one which is not only lively, but charming:
 On the death of the duke the duch- ess found in cabinet where he kept all that he most valued a mass of her hair. Years before when he had thwarted her in something she re- solved to mortify him, and. knowing that her beautiful and abundant hair was a source of pride and delight to him, she had it cut off.
 The shorn tresses were left in a room through which the duke must pass and in place where he must see them, for whatever Marlborough's lady did she did thoroughly. But he came and went, saw and spoke to her and showed neither anger, sorrow nor surprise.
 When he next quilted the house she ran to see her tresses, but they had disappeared, and on consulting her looking glass she saw how foolish a thing she had done But she said noth- ing about her shorn locks, nor did the duke. She never knew what had be- come of them until after the death of the duke she found them among those things which he had held most pre- cious.

How Oysters Drop Pearls.

"The pearl oyster gives its pearl to you as pretty girl gives you her white hand" said jeweler. Did you think that, like an oyster opener in an eating bar, the fisher pried open the shell with knife and went jab- ping about in the soft flesh? Oh, no nothing so unpoetical. The oyster opens it's lips and silently lets drop its pearl.
 The oysters" he explained, "are brought In to port and are laid on sloping boards, mouths downward. A few inches below their mouths is wa ter In two or three days the oysters become dreadfully dry and thirsty. The water tantaliZes them. It fn- creases their thirst At last they open their shells, and if there are pearls within they roll forth and drop into the pans of water That is how pearls are obtained. To open the oysters and search them is a useless task that is never thought of at the fisheries"

The Great Circus.

The famous Coliseum in old Rome, massive as it was, was a mere toy in comparison with the great circus, which filled the valley between the Palatine and the Aventine hills. The Coliseum is said to have been able to seat S0,OOO people, while the seating capacity of the great circus was, at different periods, 10000, 250,00O and, lastly, 3SO,0O0 spectators. The great circus was probably the most stu pendous building ever erected for pub lie spectacles-New York American.

SUNNYSIDF MAN IN TROUBLE
Is An OIdtime Railroad Engineer and Once
Lived Here

D. c. Huston, well known here by
all old timers, is in trouble at Sunny
side, his present home. He threatens
to bring suit for $4,000 against lot
of prominent citizens who signed let
ter asking him to leave the town in
ten hours. He is charged by the
people with having broken up family.
Mrs. Ball is the woman in the case and
is now the wife of Huston.
No threat OF violence was intended
by those who sent the letter, accord
ing to several Of the signers. We
wished to express our belief that Hus-
ton had committed an outrage upon an
an American home and that his pres
ence here was a bane on Sunnyside,
said one of the signers. We wished
to express our adherence of the whole
affair. We intended no violence"
Huston came to Sunnyside about a
year ago and worked for Mr.. Bell the
former husband of Mrs. Huston. Mrs.
Bell secured divorce from her hus-
band last fall. She and Huston were
married May 4.

Explains the Second Choice Provision in
the Primary Election Law

It is surprising, says an exchange,
that so little is known among the rank
and file of the people about the second
choice provision of the direct primary
law. Even many of the newspapers
appear to be unable to explain it cor
rectly. Thus only last week bright
weekly newspaper published in the
city OF Seattle, and devoted largely to
politics, explained that all voters must
vote for both a first and second choice
on all state Offices" This provision
Of the direct primary law, of course ap-
plies only to state and congressional
Offices, but then only when there are
more than three candidates for the
same Office.
Thus if there were only three candi-
dates for governor the second choice
provision would not apply. But with
four or more candidates for this Office,
each voter must vote for both first
and second choice. If he fails to
designate both first choice and sec
ond choice, then his vote is not count
ed at all for that particular Office.
For secretary Of state there will prob
ably be only two candidates, and in
that case only one is to be voted for.
For land commissioner there will prob
ably be four candidates, making the
second choice provision apply to that
Office. There are also four prospective
candidates for attorney general. For
state auditor there may be only one
candidate, which illustrates the alb
surdity OF saying that the voter must
vote for a first and second choice "for
all state Offices.

Father Witness Against Sons in Chicken
Stealing Case

The time of the justice court was
taken up last Saturday in trying case
involving the taking of seven chickens
by Frank Bryant from Lee Howerton.
The case developed an ugly family
row. 1t appears that A. A. Bryant and
his two sons, Harry and Frank, had
been occupying house together, but
had fallen out. The elder Bryant sold
to Mr.. Howerton some chickens which
one of the boys claimed, and took I'M
der claim OF ownership. Howerton
preferred charge against Frank Bryant
for taking the chickens of which he
was acquitted by the jury. The family
seems to have penchant for getting
mixed up with chickens. The elder
Bryant was convicted in October last
for the felonious taking Of some chick
ems from Mrs. Addie R. Payne, and
did time for this in Wenatchee.

l. B. c. Fisher and B. c. Yost,
two homesteaders not unknown to the
people OF Leavenworth spent several
days in town this week. Each of them
has a valuable tract of 100 acres in
what is known as the Meadows, a
beautiful valley on Meadow creek, a
tributary Of the Chewawa river, about
twenty three inlet west of this place,
a fine body of agricultural land opened
up by the building of the Red Noun
tain road. More than twenty home
steaders have taken up land as a result
OF the building Of that road. The
writer remembers being told by one
OF the county commissioners, when he
advocated that project that it would
benefit no one but few prospectors,
and seemed surprised when he was
told that it would open up to settle
ment, thousands of acres of fine agri-
cultural land.

Cascade Orchards to sprinkle the
newly made ball grounds. In crossing

on the load in such way that he was
able to extricate himself from position
in which his leg might easily have
been broken. One of the horses was
also injured. There is much travel en-
this road and the need Of repairing the
bridge and making it safe for teams to
cross is hereby called to the attention
of the road supervisor.
