IT is said that the Liquor Deal
ers' Association Of Kittitas and
Chelan county are going to make
desperate effort to elect men to
the legislature and senate that will
prevent an adverse legislation, in
other words politics will not be al
lowed to interfere with business and
to this end hundreds OF dollars will
be spent on candidates that will
oppose either prohibition or local
option.

The Language of a Kiss.

There are ways Of making a blind

The Chorus Lady" according tc
Young's, (which reminds me Of girI
used to know who was being courteo
by timid young banker.
"One afternoon in the garden the
banker scraped up courage enough tc
ask in a tremulous whisper for kiss.
THE pretty girl looked at him grave
ly.
ga kiss she said. You ask me for
a kiss. Now, applied to the hand, a
kiss signifies respect. On the forehead
1t denotes friendship. Upon the lips
/; indicates-all things-or nothing.
she paused pensively, then she went
on:
"'Yes, Herbert, you may, since you
wish it, kiss me. You may express
yourself in one kiss. Proceed
THE timid Herbert red and confus-
ed, pondered.
"I mustn't lose her. he muttered to
himself. Where, then shall kiss her?
The forehead, the hand? Through res
pect and friendship love may eventual
ly be gained; but if I am at the start
too bold
Suddenly his meditations were in
terrupted by thrill Of divinest melo-
dy. It was as If nightingale were
singing. The young man looked up.
THE girl was whistling, her red
mouth puckered into the shape Of
rosebud. Her hat was pulled down
over the eyes, hiding her forehead COM

to say John Smith" in Bent Muir

Huh" grunted Bent. plain John
Smith is a good honest name. Trans
ferred to other languages it is signifi-
can't Thus. in Latin. it Is Johanneus
Sminhus; the Italian smoothes 1t off
into Glovanna Smith; the Spaniards
render it Juan Smithus; the Dutchman
adopts it as Hans Schmidt. the French
flatten it out into Jean Smeet, and
the Russian sneezes and barks Of Jen-
loft Srnittowski. When John Smith
gets into the tea trade in Canton he
becomes Jovan Shimmitt; If he clam
bers about Mount Hecla, the Iceland
ers say he Is Johne Smithson; If he
trades among the Tuscaroras he be-
comes Ton Ga Smiths; in Poland ne
is known as Ivan Schmittiweiski;
should he wander among the Welsh
mountains, they talk of Jihon
Schmidt; when he goes to Mexico he
is booked as Jontli F'Su'tti; If Of clas-
sic turn he fingers among Greek ruins,

key he Is utterly extinguished as Yoe

Humorous department.
MARRIAGE a Failure.

Of course it would be utterly impos-
sible to expect that there could be no
exception to the rule Of happy married
life in Ireland, writes Seumas MacMa-
nus in Lippincott's. Father Dan had
met with more than one in his long
career in Donegal. He married Jenny
Lunny on tick, as Jenny, unfortunate
ly happening to be out Of work at that
time, found low tide in his purse. Al
ter marriage, Jenny, true to his deb
tors tradition, occupied much Of his
time in evading the priest. The fox
runs long, etc. One day Jenny found
himself in a cul-d sac, with his cred
itor, commanding entrance and exit.
Father Dan with a fair measure OF
success endeavored to repress the smile
that the humor of the thing called up.
What made the humor keener was the
knowledge that Jemmy's marriage was
not a phenomenal success. Jenny
wife had turned out termagant.
Jenny" said Father Dan, ARE you
going to pay me the money you owe
me?"
DO 1 owe you money, Father Dan?
ITO be sure; you owe me the mar
riage money"
And did l never pay you that YETI"
Don't you know you, didn't?"
Och. but it's me, is the forgetful
man! And how much do I owe you
on that score, Father DAM"
Sixteen shillings."
Sixteen shillin's? Sixteen shillins'
Let me see-would you mind taking
twice sixteen, father, and let me loose
again?"
And as Father Dan couldn't see his
way to agree to this, Jenny begged
him for the sake Of his priestly char
acter never again to crave him for
money for doing him the biggest wrong
that was ever done man. You ought
to be ashamed of yourself, Father
Dan," he said, his eyes flashing with
lust indignation as he walked away.

A GOOD SERMoN.-Dr. Smith E. Jel-
life, the noted alienist, was talking
about campaign oratory.
Blank" he said, of certain senator
lis such a thoroughgoing, painstaking
and withal tedious campaign orator
that whenever hear him am remind
ed Of an old-fashioned minister of my
boyhood.
This minister on Sunday morning
spread before him on the reading desk
a very thick packet of notes and
launched into a long, dry, heavy SER
mon.
THE reading Of the sermon absorbed
him. He did not once lift his eyes
On toward the end, however, happening
to glance up, he perceived almost the
entire congregation to be sound asleep
THE minister frowned and paused
He struck the desk resounding blow
that awakened his parishioners. Then
he said.
my good friends. this sermon cost
me a great deal of labor, and do not
think you have given it the attention
1t deserves. I shall, therefore repeat II
from the beginning. '"-Washington

Lantern, December s: Solicitor Hen
nv will on the 18th instant, make a
motion before the clerk Of the supreme
court that the appeal in the case of
Lawson Addison be dismissed. 1t Is
understood that Addison's attorneys,
Glenn & McFadden, have decided to
abandon the appeal. Addison Will
therefore be hanged, but it will be at
the March term of court before he can
be resentenced. He was sentenced to
be hanged for killing two women in
the Lowryville section in 1906. The
dwelling of Mr.. T. T. Lumpkin, in the
Gladden's Grove neighborhood in
Fairfield county, was destroyed by fire
last Sunday afternoon. Mr.. Lumpkin
saved a considerable portion Of his
furniture, though much Of it was dam
aged. The fire Is supposed to have
originated from a defective flue. Mr..
Lumpkin's loss Is partially covered by
| insurance. The house was one OF the
oldest and largest in Fairfield county.
Mr.. Lumpkin is the father Of Mrs. A.

charged with beating" their way,
Mayor Caldwell gave them their option
of paying a fine of $40 each or serving
thirty days on the chaingang and they
took the days. The names Of the two
were Fred Mitchell, who claimed that
his home is in Pennsylvania, and the
other gave the name of Charlie Wilson
and claimed that he was a native or
Virginia. They stated they were men,
bers of a show which they left at Tip
ton, Ga. That they made their way to
Charleston. From there walking and
beating" their passage they came to
Columbia. Mitchell said that they
asked the chief Of police in Columbia
for work and he told them to get out
Of town. They made their way to
Winnsboro and caught No. 80, last
night intending to go on north, but

Ia BaIes---NO Insurance,

Recently q Gaffney correspondent
sent out information to the effect that
a Cherokee county farmer had met
with the misfortune Of having IA bales
of cotton burned and stated that there
was no insurance. Doubtless every
body sympathized with the loser-peo-
pie always debut sympathy will not
pay debts or buy food and raiment, but
Insurance money, whether it be life,
fire or accident, will. For $3.50 the
owner Of that cotton could have insur-
ed the II bales for $40 each for whole
year-for $3.50. Don't you suppose he
wishes he had? In case you should
have the misfortune to have part or
all your cotton, or your dwelling and
furniture or stock Of goods burned
which do you think would give you
greater satisfaction, the sympathy OF
the public for a few days or a check
from one Of my time tried and fire
tested companies?
