MISSED A MEAL.

There was one piece of news which
tbrobbed along the wireless waves of
the circumambient the other day Which
should appeal to the sympath1es OF a
busy world From far out on the
bounding pillows of the Atlantic
pillows which bounded so strenuously
that they sadly interfered with the
gastronomic equilibrium Of the pas
sengars on board the good ship HAM
burg-came the news that I. X. had
missed a meal. This item may seem
lust a bit of fiotsam and jetsam from
the crowded chronicles of the cur
rent doings of men, but it really de-
serves some attention.
1t is a serious matter in some re-
spects when any human being is I'M
able to eat three meals in the course of
each consecutive revolution of the
earth upon it's axis. 1t matters little
what the cause or reason is. 1t may
be that the unhappy individual has
not the price, or that the provendeI
is not to his liking. the victim may
be a dyspeptic or he may be so loyal
ly addicted to the things that mother
used to make that his appetite fails
when far from the parental hearth
stone. But when it is our impulsive
and strenuous T. r., on the very eve
| of his combat with the fierce beasts
\ of the jungle, the event becomes pos
sessed of almost tragical interest
When Teddy misses meal, something
is radically wrong.
Is it possible that at last there is
foe which the big Stick cannot
cudgel into supineness? Lord Byron
once pronounced a somewhat impress
sive panegyric upon the unconquer-
able proweSs of Ne. tune, but he had
never met T. r. Can it be that this
is Oceans revenge for the unrelent-
ing fight which 7. r. has been making
| against water in Industrial channels
The world awaits the next round and
hopes that at the end T. R. may sit
up and take notice as fresh and com
bative as in the old days

CAYUSE DUMPS ITS
RIDER ON PAVEMENT
Bert Ayers Sustains Sprained Ankle
From Result of Bucking Bronco
on Main Street.

While riding an understood cayuse
down Main street this afternoon about
1:30 O'Clock, Bert Ayres. who Gains to
be a well driller from Touchet, was
thrown to the pavement caused by the
horse slipping and sustained a
sprained ankle as the result
AS Ayres came down the street he
was noticed by a number of people,
owing to the way in which he was
swaying in the saddle and in rounding
the curve a. the corner of Fourth and
Main streets, his horse fell on his leg
and narrowly missed breaking it.
Officer George Rolf Immediately took
charge of the man, who seemed in a
dazed condition and when told by
Ayres that he did not want to go home,
which he claimed was in Green's adj
di: ion, was taken to ahe police station
as a substi ute. While there it was
found that he had a check of $470 in
his possession signed by w. c. Blan-
Ghetto of Touchet, this being the per-
son whom he asserts he is working
for
City health officer j. E. Fales, was
called in to examine the injury and
in the meantime, Ayres will be given
opportunity TO sleep off the effects of
the booze he has been partaking OF
today.

GOOD RADIANCE.

| Servi9 has always been troubled
little state "a scene of agitati,ns, plots
and crimes Rulers have been deposed
and assassinated with such frequency
that the occupant of the throne is never
certain of long tenure. Just a present
international attention is directed In
that direction because Servia has late
" been threatening to break the peace
of Europe over the question of Aus
| tria's territorial aggressions in the
| Balkans, and now comes word that
| the crown prince has renowned his
rights to the crown in consequence
of a recent tragedy with which he has
been connected by gossip. His re-
tirement from the succession is re-
garded as in the interest of peace. He
was sixteen years of age when his
father was summoned in 1903 from the
cafes OF Paris, where he had been
dreaming of empire for years, to take
he place OF the dissolute young Alex
ander who was murdered with his
queen by a squad Of army officers.
From the outset the youthful crown
prince showed a disposition to enliven
he court at Belgrade An utterly fr-
responsible youth, he played pranks
with everybody in the palace, democrat
lied The servants, upset military dis
cipline and caused the ministers to ap-
peal to his father for the youths re-
straint to prevent foreign difficulties.
n, l., Al nd "a
madly up and down the railroad line.
Then he took to political intrigue with
the natural ardor of a Servian and be-
gan to agitate for the ggrandizement
Of the country. He caused friction in
the interior machinery of the govern
ment and embarrassed the ministers
at other capitals. The king was help
less. He had never shown any partic-
ular capacity for government over the
capricious Servians and his parental
authority had long been lost. Things
went from bad to worse. Prince
George developed a genius for disipa-
ton and debauchery. His hot temper
was a proverb. The kingdom sat
agape while he performed. At last,
after stirring up the war spirit of the
Servians to high pitch by his public
against Austria, he flew
in a rage one day and as the story
goes, kicked a soldier servant so bru-
tally that the man died. His re-
of the regal rights has
undoub. edly been forced from him by
the ministers, perhaps without the
kings cooperation. The full story OF
the affair may disclose an interesting
situation. However, the madcap prince
is out of the royal reckoning and 1t
is believed that Servia has ceased TO
be a menace to the peace of Europe.
On such small items and such petty
people do the large affairs OF the
world sometimes depend.

foOlishness, either. With a desire to call
to the tention of patrons the added
facilities for supplying gas to those
consumers who desired that cOmm0di-
ty, the advertising man of the COM
pany set down in figures the number
of cubic feet that can be supplied dur
ing 19O9-150,000. Then, following the
tenor of the publicity movement, the
desire for more people in Walla Wala
was felt, and the 10000, in 1915" APP
peared, though, naturally, there is an
added desire that the $4,000 people who
are expected to live here in 1915 will

AS a unique and novel method or
securing the public interest Mr.. Kaye
has made an unqualified success in
his latest accomplishment, and by the
that the company is
able to furnish 10000 cubic feet of
gas during the present year, it is safe
to say that there will be a steady and
ever-g growing demand for gas ranges.

COPYRIGHT OUR ANCESTORS.

Most of us have ancestors. Indeed
they are quite the commonest of pos
sessions, for they cannot be parted
with even to buy square meal, al
though many people would be entirely
willing to male the trade. But an
cestors should be taken seriously, for
as one might say, an ancestor is a
grave person, and we have no patience
with those abnormal people who affect
to Gespise their ancestors. 10 speak
slightingy OF them and refuse to cred
it them with the really merit 0rious
qualities they had. On the other hand
there are folk who live among heir
exalted forebears, gliding their mem
cries with eXtravagant virtues and
worshiping them in solemn conclaves.
AS much as we boast of our Ameri-
can democracy, We must acknowledge
that the distinguishing mark of a
good family tends to make one mali
better than his neighbor. in public es-
timation. In fact. we find that in our
social political and even business re-
latiOns with our fellow men a credit
able ancestor is a va liable asset. If
this be acknowledged, then an ances-
tor becomes analogous in law to per-
sonal property, which brings us to the
subject of the protection of ancestors
from the common and unworthy
claims Of those whose family trees
boast not glorious blossoms of perpet-
ual worth. The best thing about an
ancestor is that he improves with age,
and the further he .recedes into the
past the less probable the developme mt
Of scandal tina will dim his beatific
virtues. The mater is brought to our
attention through a vigorous protest
recently recorded against the growing
practice of S ealing ancestors.
There are enterprising establish
ments that essay to provide fore
fathers to order, with credentials
signed and sea ed and ready for de-
livery upon receipt of check We are
told that suddenly rich upstairs are
generous patrons of the ancestry mar
ket and that this business has expand
ed until our ancestors have become
more or less common property. 1t is
naturally annoying for a man or WON
an who has cherished a distinguished
ancestor to find that he is being
claimed by an indefinite number OF
undesirable persons who hold partner
ship deeds issued by the ances or job
bing trade. The citizen who can trace
his lineage back to a brave revolution

protected? Is there no way of filing on
an ancestor and thereby enjoying his
exclusive tenure? Why not establish

cestor should not be forced to share
him with those who have not had the
forethought to provide against such

FRED MILL"

Until you have heard the RED Milf
you can have no idea of real music
al comedy written in a real musical
way, really is. Victor Herbert did
some of his best work when he wrote
comedy that is both musical and full
of comedy. And he was not at fault
because some of the best numbers
were horribly butchered last night
The music is light, graceful, airy and
catchy The play itself is all that
could be desired. It is an object les
son in the way musical comedies
should be written Not dull m J.
ment, not an old tune.
Now, as to the way it was rendered.
The comedians, Wills and Mcneil.
were clever, very, very clever. Per-
haps they are not up to the standard
set by Montgomery and Stone but
we out here have seen Montgomery
and Stone, SO we are content with the
two who did the work so creditab.y
last night. Anna McNabe as 'Tina. >
was very pretty, quite graceful and
made better use of her skirts than any
coincidence that has been here thi:
year. She would be a peerless SOU
brette, had she a voice. But we for
give her that for her other charms.
Singing? Not very much. 1t was
really a shame what Sadie Kirby, as
Bertha and Maurice Lavigne as the
Governor" did to mot Because
You're YOU Maybe they could not
help it and we presume they couldn't
or they would; but the way they treated
one of the prettiest songs ever set to
music was almost an outrage. And
Marguerite Fry as Gretchen" Poor
girl; she is afflicted with an ingrow
ing voice and from all indications it
is incurable Shades of Daphne Pol
lard; will we never again see COM
edienne who can sing, dance and look
pretty?
But we were well satisfied last
night. 1t was entertaining and the
comedians were funny. The music
was real music, although it could
have been better sung AS musical
comedy the Red MILF is a success.
1t answers the requirements, for it is

With no pretense at uncanny di-
vination. we observe that the dress
makers are now talking sagely of a
restoration of the waistline." We
are thereby aroused to the fact that
che waist line" has been out of COM
mission. And, come to think about
it, perhaps that was the trouble. Our
goddesses have been waistless. But
there is small comfort in the hope
of a restored waist. for even if it is
restored it will be in place that no
normal man would ever think of look
ing for it. Will the waist be at the
historical landmark where our grand
mothers tide their apron? Not bit
of it, The waist has slipped it's geo
graphical cable and has settled down
to a point (can you believe IT'D just
six inches above the knees! OF
course, no mere man can understand
how this Transformation is to be ac-
complished, but thass's what fashion
says, and it must be so. A good
many men will miss the waistline
from its accustomed place, or neigh
borhood, in the feminine anatomical
structure Heretofore the waist was
about the only thing he was really
sure of, and, despite a popular theory
to the contrary, he liked the sub
stantial and generous circle betoken~
ing good living Dr.. Holmes had such
a waist in mind when he referred
tenderly to his jevial aunt:
Her waist is ampler than her life,
For life is but span.
But there is something even more
weird than the restoration of the
waistline at the knees, in the new
order of things, We are threatened
with the "style clerical" which is a
monstrous gown with 500 buttons on
it. Think of this, We bachelor who
is being driven into matrimony by
intolerant legislaton! Not all Of
these buttons are practical or require
a tention at the same time. But there
are hundreds of buttons that simply
must be fastened into elusive and OBJ
fuse holes. AS a sort Of compensa
ton we are told that the gowns
themselves will not be tight, but that
the underneath vii! hold the form
rigid and stony, and that the button,
ing will be easy. With corsets five
inches longer than heretofore and an
underneath that answers all the
purposes Of a straightjacket, the crea-
tions will cling loosely and permit of
an hours diversion by hubby equipped
with an enduring buttonhook. 1t is a
delightful prospect.

! anyone who doesn't have an open
fire in his home misses half his life.
It's quite as important in a house as
good plumbing" is what an eminently
sensible, thoroughly practical woman
said to me the other day
lifetime. The first two lacked most of
the luxures and many of the comforts
we are accustomed to regard as indis-
pensable but in the living room of each
house the most prominent feature was
a big open fireplace.
This woman mas brought up five
wholesome, happy children, whose de-
votion to their home is the admiration
and envy of half her acquaintance. She
gives the open fireplace half the credit
for their fondness for home.
Its the best thing 1 know of for
keeping children in on nights" she
says. They'd rather have their friends
sit around the open fire toasting marsh
mallows or swapping stories than go to

A very dear old lady furnishes a
recipe for an afternoon nap to be used
by people who find difficulty in losing
Themselves in the daytime.
eff for any reason you can't get
nap at your regular time, earlier in
the afternoon" she advises, eff you are
too busy or the house is noisy, or if
you just don't feel sleepy, try again just
at twilight
Between the dark and the daylight
When the night is beginning to lower"
I myself am troubled with insomnia
and can seldom get a daytime nap at
any other time, but find that just at
that time, just before the lamps are lit,
when the twilight drowsiness is over
everything, l can often throw myself
down on my couch and lose myself for
a few precious, strength giving minutes.
1t may not be as successful a recipe
In every case as it has been in mine.
but it is surely worth trying.
