OLYMPIA, March 4.-Representa-
tive T. ]. Bell of Pierce is the in
dignation point of the house.
With him indignation is intense,
abundant and chrome. Surcharged,
with his taps loosely oiled he is
equipped at all tines to throw off
dense and beclouding volumes of
indignant protest on hair trigger
provocation. He fairly revels, wal
lows and cavorts in Indignation,
high pressure anguish that makes
its escape only after fiinging out
the apopletic signal together with
an intimidating hoarsening of the
voice and a rapid circular motion
of the arms.
Just let some one intimate, even
IN soft me1lifiuous whisper that
lperhaps sometime, somewhere or
somewhow, the republican party
did something which was not en-
tirely right and then strum up your
courage and hold your breath. To
his feet he:
Mister Speaker"
What a word of long pent right
eous Indignation there IS there in
the basso profundo acentuation of
the final syllables Mister Speak
err" the same and little more so.
Purely formal as is this salutation
in it you get the lett motif of the
wrath that is yelling up, bubbling,
sizzling with carbonated persis-
tency in the heaving bosom of this
Sir Garland of the republican party.
Slowly and impressively he swings
about face and confronts his equal
ly affronted but less vocable con-
freres. The look he vouchsafes of
sorrow and amber mingled, gives
audible protest to the outrage that
has been, is about to be or is per-
pretrated. Once more:
Mister Speaker and Gentle
mem"
And then he is off like Pundys
racing tides: deeper and deeper
grows the mighty roar; faster fly
the arms; harder pounds the
clenching fist into the unoffending
palm of the other hand, while neck
veins bulge, coat seams strain and
anger CLOVIS in glistening drops
from every outraged pore.
Not one single member escapes
the lowering CLINT of that indignant
eve that glares incandescent above
the impending spectacles. Every
high.pitched note that ratles forth
from his quivering larynx bears its
personal accusation to whom it
may concern, and bag punching,
shadow fighting and fotwork are
thrown in. He does the figure eight
spread eagle and dutch roll about
his desk without dropping a syll-
able. He marvels, gentlemen, he
does, that any person within the
reach of his voice, any person
within the boundaries of the great
commonwealth, the state of Wash
ington, should have the termerity
to cast any reflection on the repub.
lican party. Yes, gentlemen, he is
astonished, grieved and shocked be
yond all measure of the few words
at his command to express He is
dumbfounded, aghast, almost
speechless, but gentlemen, as long
as there is breath ia his body
etc, etc.
Appreciation of his peroration is
only limited by the capacity of the
human tympanum and not less in

THE TIME FOR KINDNESS.

Now is the time for kindness, to-
morrow it may be too late. We are
going through this world but once,
and any kindness that we can show,
or any goodness that we can do,
must be done now. If we ever in
tend to say cheering and encouraging
words we should say them every day
as we so along, for we shall not pass
this way again.
Do not wait till kindred or friends
are dead and. then send flowers. One
word of kindness to the living is
worth more to them than lengthy eu-
logies after they are dead. Too many
seem tongue-tied, even with those
who are nearest and dearest to them
Too many are thoughtless and neglec

make life easier and brighter for 9th

act as though they had no tim fol

KILLING ANIMALS FOB SPORT.


The accounts of the slaughter of
wild animals in Africa by Colonel
Roosevelt's party are by no means
beneficial to anyone and should be
suppressed by newspaper publishers.
They teach the inhumanity of man,
and degrade rather than elevate.
To kill animals for food and raj
ment is justifiable, or at least is gen
orally SO considered But to kill
harmless beasts for amusement is
worse than brutal. One brute does
not kill another just for fun.
Wounded monkeys sit disconsolate
on the ground sobbing and weeping
piteously, rubbing their knuckles in
their eyes, occasionly CHANGING re
proachfully the author of trouble and
rubbing their hands over their woun(.,
Just the same as a human being
would do. And most if not all wound
ed animals know. enough to under
stand the injustice ofhuman cruelty
When boy Robert Burns would
cry over wounded birds and animals,
and in his maturer years he endeared
himself for all time to kind hearted
people by his protests, like this one
which he wrote on the shooting and
wounding of rabbit:
"Inhuman man, curse on thy barbar-
Gus art,
And blasted be thy murder aiming
eye.
May never pity soothe thee witlr>~ a
sigh,
Nor ever pleasure glad thy cruel
heart"
