Chit.Chat

In our social life we are too often
say" and What will people think"
Resolve to dress and entertain accord
ing to your means regardless of other
peoples opinions. 1t is foolish to al
tempt to follow a style of entertaining
inaugurated by richer people. Your
friends will. accept and enjoy simple
little entertainments within keeping
of your purse quiz e as much as more
elaborate affairs.

TO entertain simply, yet well, is an
art. 1t is vastly better to re4Mently

when one enters house and departs
feeling no better acquainted, or no
nearer the family life than before.
1t is the eternal fear of criticism
that makes women hesitate to use
original ideas in entertaining their
friends. Because Mrs. So and So had
three kinds of vegetables and two
kinds of cakes is no reason why you
should follow her example. In fact, to
serve too elaborate meal nowadays
is not considered good form. To over
load guest with so many curses that
he feels burdened is much worse than
serving too little. 1t is a dreadful in
suit to the mental caliber of our
friends that we should think they come
to our table to gormandize rather than
TO enjoy the pleasure of our company.
We carefully plan the menu, but how
often We fail to provide for the enter

getfuI of liberty, life and everything
else in the supreme effort to save the
young.
Hence il follows that the wretches
who stole the Whitla boy, in expecta-
ion of a ransom. will never fully ex-
plate their atrocious deed.
Law and justice do not meet in such
a case. The punishment, no matter
how severe. cannot be enough.
Beyond the offense against the law
and beyond the sorrow which comes
{ the Whitla parents, is the menace
to other children and other parents.
No one can blame the parents for
promising almost anything, and max
ing almost any sacrifice, in order 10

fact that kidnapers have been able
to deal successfully in this case opens
pathway of security to other kidnap-

and alert to take advantage of his OPP

This is true because the days of
Spartan heroism, witnessing unfiinch-
ingly the sacrifice of ones own flesh
and blood, have passed to another
S AEGEAN intensely human stage
which can best be indicated by the
eart-rendirg, allconsuming cry
MY child, my child"
The Whit case affords an instance
wherein the poor men may rejoice in
the blessings of his condition. No kid
naper wants a poor mans little boy.
It shows that there are times when
great wealth is a curse.

NEW SERVICE ON
NORTHERN PACIFIC
TRAINS WILL BE INAUGURATED
GIVING BETTER CONNECTIONS
WITH CITY
Spokane Limited Will Run From Falls
City to Seattle, Giving Direct
Connections at Pasco.

Beginning Sunday. March %, the
Northern Pacific will put in service an
additional train between Spokane and
Seattle. These trains will be numbers
II and IS and will be designated ~ the
Spokane Limited leaving Spokane at
o'clock in the evening and arriving
Mt Seattle and Tacoma at 9 o'clock the
following morning.
This train will leave Pasco at II: 40
for the west and the returning train
will leave the sound at o'clock in the
evening reaching Spokane at $3.50 the
following morning. This will afford
much better service both between
Walla Walla and Tacoma and Seattle,
as there will be a sleeping car picked
up by train IL at Pasco and passen-
gers from Walla Walla can change
cars at Pasco for the Sound, getting
into this sleeper Immediately on ar
rival, instead of having to wait around
the station
The Spokane Walla Walla sleeper
will be brought to Pasco on No. II
and set out. This will enable pas
sengers to leave Spokane hours later
than at present, and do away with the
change at Pasco as was necessary I'M
der the old schedule.
With the establishment of the new
schedule, the service to and from Walla
Walla and the coast cities as well as
Spokane will be extremely satisfactory
Passengers can leave Walla Walla and
reach Tacoma, Seattle or Portland be-
fore 8 O'clock the following morning,

NICE TO BE RiCH-SOMETlMES!

The police having caught the kid
napers of little Willie Whitla, the s.
year-old boy whose millionaire parents
live at Sharon, Pa, the courts will
give them the limit but their crime
is one for which the law does not pre-
scribe an adequate penalty, says the
Seattle Times.
If the criminals were compelled to
give measure for measure in compen-

they would come close TO yielding up
their lives. for there is no torture om-

BELLINGHAM, Wash. March 25.-
After rejoicing for days over the fact
that vein of pure artesian water had
been tapped on the Abbott ranch, near
Lynden, the residents in that neigh
borhood are today bewailing the fact
that the water has become mineral
lied and is now unfit for use. At first
the stream of water from the ar
tesian well was as fresh and pure as

HOMESTEADlNG IN RESERVES

Try as some will to place the govern
ment in an unfair light in the eyes Of
other people, they are failing in their
purpose For some time the rankes5
of the anti-forest men have elaine 4
that homestcaders were prevented from
making homes in the forest reserve,
but the following statement received
from the department should silence all
such knockers:
The statement says:
More than 6l 900 acres of land with

for entry since the passage of the act
of June II, 1906. Applications for the
examination and listing of lands with
in the national forests are invited, and
the government desires that there
shall be as many settlers as possible
within the forests, and viii welcome
those who will develop the tillable
portions of the forests and maintain
homes.
Whenever examinations of land ap-
piled for cannot be made profptly,
either on account of unfavorable
weather conditions or for any other
rca on, free permits are given those
who desire to go upon the land immed
ia.cly. to build their homes, and son
their crops Under recent ruling by
the secretary of the interior, residence
under such permits will count upon the
period of five years, during which TIL"
law requires continuous residence and
cultivation as conditions to patent.
All efforts towards home making
are encouraged, and where there is
reasonable doubt as TO whether the ap
plicant would be able to make a live

PAID POLICY 20 YEARS AGO

Upon receiving his mail Il few day
ago, William Gardner, of near Carbon
dale was surprised to learn that he was
being sought by the officials of The
Equitable Life Insurance company of
Des Moines, Iowa. From the story as
told by Mrs Ozburn, county suPoriu
tendent of schools, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Gardner, we print the toI-
lowing.
''Father and mother lived in ATTAIN
ic, Iowa, before coming to this state
several years ago Father had tah'u
out a $500 policy with the Des Moiu"
company and had paid up all iusta
ments up to 1sSs. He lost the pol
icy, and believing that he would ua
er be able to collect the money, he pa ]
no attention to the matter and cam'
west to live. A few days ago he ra-
eeived letter from friend inAt.ar-
ic. Iowa, and answered it. Then a '...
ter came from the insurance eompaur.
Other letters have passed betwe#
them, and last week he signed the p
pers proving his identity. The oiH.
cials of the company say they have
been trying for the past five year 'a
locate him but not until friend q.

could they secure the trace they wer'
