lives there woman who says that
she has immediate communion with
the Almighty, and now and then do
livers to those Of common clay mes
sage that she has received from on
high. The fact that these messages
sometimes take on a very Materials
tic hue does not alter their effective
ness, In her opinion.
One day she went into the Office Of
well known attorney and approached
him solemnly as one about to reveal
an awe-inspiring secret.
"The Lord sent me to you for $25, "
she announced
The attorney looked up and smiled.

The Remarkable Trimming.

Jimmy" said the pretty actress to
her actor husband, won't you run
down to the milliner's and get me
the hat | ordered?"
Sure | won't make mistaken"
queried Jimmy, somewhat obviously,
with caution born of an utter ig-
norance Of millinery.
"Oh, you won't" laughed the spouse.
"My hat is the white beaver trimmed
with orchids. You can remember
that"
Gamely he went to his doom. B~-
tering the millinery shop, he asked,
valiantly: Is my wife's hat ready? |
mean the white biffer, trimmed with
oh-you-kids?"
And the French girls in the shop
made funny Partisan giggles at him.

That Panama earthquake was only
little one. 1t caused some appre-
hension, but apparently did no dam
age. The canal at Panama was un-
dsrtaken In the full knowledge that
the region is in the earthquake belt,
but also with the conviction that less
danger is to be apprehended there
than would have threatened had the
United States adhered to the Nicar.
aqua route. for the Nicaragua route
is much longer. and the longer the
route the greater the liability to in

A paper out in northwestern Kansas

the habit Of gazing at the rafters in

There is an impression among many
people that Americans are not law.
abiding nation. But we observe that
whenever the, 18th of September
comes along straw hats are removed
from the urban population as If by
magic. 1t makes little difference
whether the weather is hot or not,
says the New York Post. The 18th OF
September may be hotter than the
18th Of August, but public opinion,
which is the basis Of morality and Of
law. ordains that on this particular
day the straw hat must go.

SHUT OFF BECAUSE OF AC-

The extra street illumination
and street lamps generally over
the city were shut off last night
and will probably be again to-
night. The move is made to save
power. 1t is likely that even the
city hall tower will be dark to-
night.

over a high tension pole of the
Snoqualmie company, grounded
the wires and burned up a couple
of transformers, which cut the

In order to work the water

shut off the street lighting. The
damage will be repaired in day

and it costs Uncle Sam hundreds
of dollars every year for doctor

be paid for prisoners held in the

Every one Of the twenty battleships
and five cruisers will fire twenty one
guns upon first sighting the Mayflow-

salute just after passing the MayfOw-
