LETTERS FROM READERS

10 the Editor:
Mr.. Kilograms makes the pre-
diction that the Cubs will cross
the wire with the rag in their
mouths, while Mr.. r. L. arises to !
remark that the rag will be but a
small portion torn from the trou-
sers of the flying Pirates.
If may also enter my predic-
tons would say that 1 lean strong
ly toward the choice of Mr.. Hello
grams. You have probably MOTTO
ed that the team in the lead always
has host of followers and at the
rate the Pirates are travelling it is
not to be wondered at.
But after everything has been
said the fact remains that the Pitts
burg team is at most a one or
two-man affair. Let number one
designate the mighty Wagner and
number two represent Fred Clark.
Take these two men out of the
game and where would Pittsburg
be? In the pitching corps they
have not one man who can be de-
pended upon for grueling finish.
In their games every day they are
using two and three pitchers which
demonstrates clearly that Clark s
men cannot 60 the route.
On the other hand the Cubs
have gone along day in and out
winning games with a clock-hke
regularity and right now have a
higher percentage in games won
and lost than they had year ago
) This means a great deal when YOU
, realize that they have been with
out the services of that star catch
er and batsman, King. Alst
Chance has been out of the gam
for a longer period than before
due to injuries. Their team ha
been patched up and won on mum
berless occasions. Why? Becaus
while Chance is a great leader an,
: manager, he is not too great to &C
cept suggestions and ideas from
each member of an all.star tear
and this results in a team wor
the defensive of which has neve
been equaled.
: Where is there team that ca
boast Of such twirlers as Brown
i Pfeister, Ruelbach and Overall
:, every one Of whom is now read

Diverse Reflections
. BY ERID

The baseball season is nearing
it's end. As game its popularity
is amply deserved.
Davy is looking forward to the
time when apples will arrive here
but is not worrying as long as
the melon season lasts.
A local resident states that there
is no person who tells the truth
day after day for even a week.
Pabulum for reflection.
Davy's latest: IL don't see why
you fellers make out all the time
in dat Mirror dat Use said dis and
dat. / don't cay nothin' a-tall.'
Correct Davy; that is why the
ladies term you a dear. Many
persons continually talk but say
nothing.
Truth is general quality that
multiplieth the benefits Of one
who uses it regardless of conse-
quences. If an adherence to truth
demands a sacrifice of friendship
then hesitate not to part with such
friendship, for it, in time, may
prove traitorous.
Many persons assume to inform
us about the Chink but few can
furnish uncontradictory facts con-
corning the nature of the Mon
! golian race. One may imagine he
knows all about John when in re-
; atty he could scarcely recognize
him among a gathering of Chinks.
r People who imagine life holds
little worth while for them fail to
e realize that it takes determination
Q to hew rosy path through the
Q byways of life. Getting discourag-
!. ed because plans fail to unfold as
desired indicate lack of mental
ability to succeed. If plan fails
the proper way to proceed is to
profit by experience, outline other
II plans and continue the effort to
u win.

EASTERN exchanges of a fortnight
ago, indicate the wide extent of
country and severity of the weather
that existed with the middle west as
the storm center extending as far
east as Tennessee, as far south as
Texas, west as Kansas and north
as the great lakes. At Memphis, the
worst storms on record prevailed,
and the deaths from tOrnadoes in
Arkansas, Mississippi and that State
number over 100. In Arkansas, the
town of Wheatly and other settle
ments were destroyed; in the lake
region, deep snow fell; the loss of
life to persons and stock was large
and of property was heavy. Scarcely
a district excaped from loss or injury
in Illinois and Missouri. The loss in
Kansas is mainly to the fruit crops,
and the prospects for the season are
about ruined. The list of fatalities,
here, there and everywhere, when
aggregated, will amount to fearful
loss of life, and the damages to prop
erty a larger aggregate than was ex-
pected from the meagre reports
caused by the suspension of speedy
means of communication. The general
consensus of opinion of the people
OF that district, is that the inclement
season has never hitherto been so
prolonged or SO severe.

GOOD AS THE BEST. The Manager
of the Olympia Water company, H.
c. Heermans, in reply to allegations
of the City Council, declares that the
local system is equal to that of any
other city of like population. The
water is of the best quality, and ex-
tensions have been wherever they
wers warranted. Mr.. Fl. disputes
the assumption of the wise men of
the Council that they can tell a sec
ton of banded water-pipe from link
OF bologna, when they claim that the
iron bound and tar-coated stave- pipe,
made by the National Woodpipe COM
pany, home institution. is not good
as the best iron pipe made. besides
not being subject in like degree to
electrolysis where heavy induction
currents are constantly maintained.
Where large cities, with competent
engineers, have made the subject a
matter OF observation and study, and
the banded and coated wood pipe has
been given the preference, it should
constitute a reliable basis for safe
Judgment. In the past three years,
Mr.. Herman has bought s34, 900
worth Of this pipe for Olympia and
Hoquium, and it is all giving COM
plete satisfaction.

PRICES GOING SKYwARDs.-Itm may
be potatoes as well as wheat, and
many other commodities, if prices on
everything continue to advance, that
will constitute the basis of mint
to Fortunes favorites, from present
indications. Potato farmers in Okla
homa, and some other districts along
the Arkansas river. will reap a
rich harvest on their crops of tubers
this year. There is u shortage in po-
tatOes all over the country, and the
few who have happened to plant big
patches are the lucky ones. A man
at Fort Gibson, Okla, has 200 acres
in potatoes from which he will realize
s25 900, and IN any other potato rails
ers in the same State will make
small fortunes. The product is sell
ing at $3.50 a bushel there now, and
in this State it rerails at II cents i
pound with a still further upward
tendency.

FlENDs IN HUMAN Form. Two SOL
diers, members of the Third Infantry
now encamped at American Lake,
are being held at Tacoma, to answer
for charge of assault upon Mrs.
Minnie Farley, on the night of May
LIST, in her home on the shore of Amer
lean Lake. The woman was in a
delicate condition, at the time of the
assault, and the case was one of the
most revolving ever recorded. The
villains may have to answer for high
or crime than assault, whether the
woman RECEIVERS or not, which is
quite doubtful.

higher than the maximum proposed

latter was to be 20 per cent. of the

THE Discomfort SEEMS TO GROW. -
1t is reported that the friends of both
Ex-Governor Mead and Schively are
veXed over the tone and temper of
Senator ClauSen's comments upon
the part taken by friends of the for
mer in expediting" the Hamilton
vouchers and the latter for unfriend-
ly criticism. Gov. Mead's friends
are reported as saying that it was
unnecessary for Clausen to dilate
upon the question of the validity of
the vouchers from the military de-
partment; that everybody knows
that neither of those officers would
have passed them had they known
they were fraudulent. Possibly true;
but why were they constituted the
auditing board, unless it was for a
constant admonition that there
might be necessity for vigilant
care to keep a check upon exendi-
lures from a large fund held in trust
for the people?

WI TING FANG, Chinese minister
of the Wellesley graduates, in speak
ing before their clubs. the other
night said Women in China are not
demonstrative in their letters to
their husbands, and do not send their
love by mail, but keep it to them
selves-for the very good reason
that they cannot read or write,
which puts Us in mind of the boy S
definition of salt "the stuff that
makes potatoes taste bad when you
don t put any on. Probably if they
could read or write, then a wider
field of thought and appreciation
would be opened to them, and they
would be better qualified for express
ing an opinion on that and any other
subject. 1t would seem that a per-
son who can neither read nor write
would have very little capacity for
enjoyment of many OF the enjoy
ments of the higher experiences of
life.

A SOLOMONIC DECISION. - There
will be no permanent hostess
of the Washington building at the A.
Y. p. exposition simply from the
fact that it is found impossible to
award the honor without making it a
veritable apple of discord, in which
Discomfort will rule instead of Peace
and Harmony. So it has been de-
cided by the Fair Commission that
Gov. Hay shall designate a hostess
on the days in honor of the several
States, and the Board of County
Commissioners, on those days set
apart for county days. This plan
will not meet with very generous
support by the Seattle Club women,
for the reason that they had hoped to
be represented in the management of
the State building all the time.
