Landing n Husband.

An Atchison family OF three girls,
all Of them equally attractive. had a
curiosity to know the best method Of
landing a husband. and agreed to try
an experiment One Of them learned
to cook, and was a domestic sort OF

his eyes fell upon the box containing
the cake. and he let them rest there.
He was only half awake and his brain
was still costly wrapped about with
rainbow-tlnted curtains OF dreamland,
but he remembered the cake. He re-
membered that some unknown person
had sent him a cake, and that he did
not like cakes, and that the thing was
useless 70 him. What he did not re-
member was the fact that he had
dubbed the cake poisonous. He forgot
about the lecture on Secret Societies"

BUT LITTLE PROGRESS SHOWN.

KfnEston slow I'm Recovering From
EJECT OF the Earthquake.
Although IL is now just about two
years since the earthquake visited
Kingston, there has been almost no
progress In repairing the damage done
In many places IN the heart Of the city
the ~wreckage has not been disturbed.
From time 10 time human remains are
siiIl found In the ruins OF buildings. so
that even now the true figures OF the
ioSs OF life are not attainable.
Residents OF the city ascribe the slow
progress Of repairs 10 several causes
One OF these. they contend. Is the ap-
parent uDwlliingness OF the English
government TO do anything for the
colony.
They say they have not been helped
financially as they should have been
They point out that even now the Gus
tom house. a government building. has
no; been put into proper shape The
walls are cracked. Inside the building
is braced In a way that does not at all
guarantee It's safety for any great
length Of time. II may collapse any
day.
Many OF the larger business enter
prises have merely temporary quarters
at present. There are only two or
three concerns which have modern
concrete buildings. and u OF these Is
not yet finished. A great deal Of
cement is being imported. and eventu-
ally the city VIII be rebuilt Of concrete
construction.
Another thing that delayed the re-
building OF the city was the long eight
with the insurance companies. II took
nearly two years to get this matter
settled up In the courts. In the mean
time the money TO replace the de
stroyed buildings has been lacking.
when It Is put into the hands Of the
property owners they win be able TO 80
ahead.
There has been none OF that spirit of
fighting alacrity such as was shown IN
the case OF san Francisco. but 1t must
be remembered that there was not the
national effort In behalf OF Kingston
that was made in the case Of San Fran
cisco.
The earthquake and the fire follow
ing were responsible for great loss OF
life In Kingston. and In many cases
whole families were wiped out. Some
OF these were Of the very best In the
colony. which again has had an effect
on the place.
These families represented In some
cases commercial investments OF large
amounts which went to ruin through
the lack Of others to take up the work.
Some OF the families In the colony too
lost important members and were dis
couraged from continuing to live In the
place.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
CAPTAIN GIVES UP HARD
FIGHT FOR LIFE.

Jack" Beymer, captain of the
Tacoma High school football
team, and one of the most popular
boys who ever attended the school,
is dead, after a brilliant but brief
career. His fight against typhoid
ended in victory for death. Bey-
mer passed away at $40 yester-
day afternoon, surrounded by his
sorrow-stricken family.
His passing is a double blow
to his relatives and friends be-
cause of the valiant fight he
made against the ravages of the
disease and the consequent hope
that he would recover. Yester-
day morning he was seized with q
sinking spell, and at noon the
consultation of physicians pro.
nounced the end to be near. The
immediate cause of death was a
