days and the outfit will then be
moved to the Harlin block.

ATTEMPTED A H0LD-UP
Two Bad Men Made an Attempt Sat-
urday Night to Hold Up Harry
Patterson on Wenatchee
Avenue.
AS Harry Patterson was drivinl

AS Harry Patterson was driving
into the city last Saturday night
about 7:30. two short, dark, heavy
set men attempted to hold him up.
The scene of the hold-up was on the
first culvert on North Wenatchee
avenue. Just as he arrived at this
place the men attempted to seize his
team and commanded him to halt.
Patterson gave the team the whip
and forced them past the hold-ups.
He drove on to town and notified the
local officers. He could not give an
accurate description of the men so II
was impossible to locate them.

Billy Simmons Springs a Joke.

Two pieces of curb stone dumped
on the street near the Olympia hotel
caused "Uncle Billy" Simmons 20
spring a "whopper" on two unsus-
pecting strangers last night
What is them things?" asked one
of the strangers as he pointed to the
dark-looking stones
Them things is meteors," said
Billy. Didn't you hear about their
falling last night? Everybody on
the street is talking about it. Didn't
you see it in the Daily World?"
The two men made a closer ex-
animation and decided true enough
that "them things is meteors.'

PRAISES THE FAITHFUL DOG
Statesman Offers Eloquent Tribute to
Mans Loyal Friend

This eloquent tribute to the dogs
faithfulness was uttered by the late
United States Senator George Graham
before a Missouri jury at date and
place now unknown:
Gentlemen of the jury: The best
friend a man has in this world may
turn against him and become his enc
my. His son or daughter that he has
reared with loving care may prove I'M
grateful. Those who are nearest and
dearest to US, those whom we trust
with our happiness and our good name,
may become traitors to their faith
The money that a man has he may
lose. 1t flies away from him, perhaps
when he needs it most. A mans repu-
tation may be sacrificed in a moment
of ill-considered action. The people
who are prone to fall on their knees
to do us honor when success is with
us may be the first to throw the stone
of malice when failure settles its cloud
upon our heads. The one absolute, I'M
selfish friend that man can have in
this selfish world, the one that never
deserts him, the one that never proves
ungrateful or treacherouS, is his dog.
Gentlemen of the jury, mans dog
stands by him in prosperity and in
poverty, in health and in sickness. He
VIII steep on the cola ground, Wn6r0
the wintry winds blow and the snow
drives fiercely, if only he can be near
his masters side. He will kiss the
hand that has no food to offer, he will
lick the wounds and sores that come
in encounter with the roughness of the
world. He guards the sleep of his
pauper master as if he were prince.
When riches take wings and reputa-
ton falls to pieces he is as constant
in his love as the sun in its journey
through the heavens. If fortune drives
the master forth an outcast in the
world, friendless and homeless, the
faithful dog asks no higher privilege
than that of accompanying him to
guard against danger, to fight against
his enemies; and when the last scene
of all comes, and death takes the mas
ter in its embrace and his body is laid
away in the cold ground, no matter if
all other friends pursue their way.
there by his graveside will the noble
dog be found, his head between his
paws, his eyes sad but open in alert
watchfulness, faithful and true even
unto death.

stead, almost all the girls walked away
from her, their noses tilted high in the
air. Mabel was very nice when she was
rich and had delicious goodies packed
in her lunchbox, Tut they had no use
for friends who were poor and who had
only bread and butter for lunch.
Only two girls remained, and they
were sisters, whose mother was poor
widow. These two good little girls now
came eagerly forward and offered to
share their lunch with Mabel. @rrne
little girl, wounded by the unkindness
of her former friends, felt no hunger,
but she was grateful to her new friends,
and to please them accepted some of
their fruit.
That evening she tearfully told her
mother all about the way her time
chums had deserted her.
II shouldn't worry said mother
quietly, when her little daughter had
finished. you don't want friends that
are not true friends, do you?
''By the way, I must tell you that
papa recovered his money and he is
now as rich as before. I wish you
would invite the two little girls who
pay you a visit It seems to me that
they are friends worth having
Mabel gladly promised to invite her
new friends to pay her call, and you
may be sure that she no longer placed
faith in the words of her other class
mates, who, now that they learned
Mabel was again rich, crowded about
her as in former times.
When Mabel carefully thought the
whole matter out a tiny suspicion came
to her mind that, perhaps, mother had
only planned the story of her fathers
loss of money to give her a chance to
find out her real friends. In any event,
she was glad to have had the oppor-
tunity.

SPIDER LOSES ONE LONG LEG
No Pain to Insect When Careless Girl
Separates Leg and Body

The children were down in the big
meadow having picnic supper near
the brook beneath a large elm tree
'Oh, see what I've got" exclaimed
Susan, who was very adventurous, and
not afraid of any insects or strange
animals that came near her.
Just as she spoke and the others
turned to see what she had, she cried,
''He's gone, but he's left his leg be-
hindu
''How cruel you are, Susan" said
Sammy, ''to pull off his leg! What was

Susan looked very sober indeed as
she regarded the delicate wiry insects
leg that remained in her hand.
1T was a daddy-long-legs and he
walked over my sandwich and then
stopped, so I took hold of him to see
what he was like. / didn't mean TO
pull this off,
Her big brother Henry said, Don't
be too sorry, Susan. He doesn't care,
you know"
Doesn't he?" asked the girl. "why
not?"
why, you see, he is made with his
legs hitched on very lightly. so that he
can leave one or two behind if he
has to-
'Oh. Henry cried the children, you
must be joking!"
mot bit of it," he replied. "You
see, the daddy-long-legs has to go about
among the long grass a good deal. In
fact, the egg he comes out of is usually
laid way down near the roots. so one
of the first things little daddy has to
learn is how to go right on if he gets
tangled up, and let his limb stay In the
trap if it has to. He is really tougher
than he looks, and though you can al
most see through him, the farmers in
certain places call him leather
jacket"
Susan was holding the leg while
Henry was talking
'I'm glad I didn't hurt him. she
said, "and I will keep this till we go
home, for he may come back to find it. .
But to their best knowledge he never
did.-Youth's Companion.

SOME SHOOTING FEATS
THAT NEVER HAPPENED

A grotesque and foolish view of the
west leads many who are not ac-
quainted with that part of the country
to perpetrate amusing blunders regard
ing the possibilities of the typical
western weapons. the rifle and the six
shooter. To shoot an animals eye out
at ''a hundred PAGES is common feat
in Wild West literature. Sometimes 1t
is done with a six-shooter-in type; not
anywhere else. OF course. no man can
see the eye of an animal that far.
have had a good rifeman tell me he
could cut off robins head at 100 steps.
The truth is that he could not see the
head clearly that far. You read that
the desperate Slade could, with six
shooter at fifty or sixty steps," hit a
man in any button of his coat that he
chose; but you may be sure that neither
SADIE nor any one else could do any
thing of the kind. Even trick and fancy
shooting at its best could never cover
feats ascribed as matters of course to
the average frontiersman by those dew
otees of frenzied fiction who never saw
the frontier.-The Outing Magazine.

her arms about her mothers neck.
Mother was very glad, indeed, to
learn that the little girl was pleased
with her new school and that the chill
dren treated her so kindly Strangers
sometimes are not made as welcome as
they should be.
And on the next, and still the next,
day, Mabel reported that her schovr-
and that already she had several
chums.
I'VE have the grandest times at re-
cess" said Mabel. after we've eaten
our little lunches (and I've always such
a lot that / share with the rest), we
play tag and Rover and a hundred
other games"
Mother, who had been thinking deep
ly, now asked: "You always share your
luncheon with your chums?"
"Oh, yes, mamma" replied Mabel.
81 couldn't eat it all myself If I wanted
to-"
On the morning Of the following day,
when Mabel was about to go to SchooI,
the maid handed the little girl her
lunch box, neatly packed. But this
time, instead of the dainties with which
it was usually filled, there was nothing
but an apple or two and several slices
Of bread.
"Your mother says I am to tell you
that your father has lost great deal
of money and that you can have only
simple lunches now"
Mabel was very much schocked. You
see, she was so accustomed to having a
rich papa, who gave her everything she
asked for, that she couldn't imagine
what it would feel like to be poor. The
very thought of being poor greatly ex-
cited her.
As Mabel arrived late. it was not I'M
til recess that she found a chance to
tell the news to her classmates. But no
sooner were her chums gathered around
her than she cried:
ooh, girls. I've very funny thing
to tell! Papa has lost ever so much
money and he can't afford to let me
have a nice lunch any more
She looked around, expecting to be
greeted with words of sympathy. IN

The Ferocious Equator

William was considered the brightest
boy in his grade; upon hearing a lesson
recited in class once or twice he knew
it quite well. Thus, while the other
fellows were compelled to study hard
he scarcely found it necessary to open
book At the expiration Of the term
one of the questions in the written
geography test was, what is the
equator?'
William, always to be depended upon,
wrote without delay:
1.-THE equator is a menagerie lion run
ming around the center Of the earth.''-
