POPULAR PHRASES.
Borne Familiar Lines That Are Cor.
stantly Misguided.


Critics who assert that we get
more slovenl y and careless every day
in speech, manners and customs
have proof Of part of their assertion
at any rate in the manner in which
the writings of famous authors are
continually being fmisquoted and
distorted. In Coleridge's ancient
Mariner" are these words: "Water,
water everywhere, nor any drop to
drink Ninety-ninc people in a
hundred say "and not drop to
,Ir;nk" for the last line.
Again, how Often we hear people
SIN. '':sule, Britannia, Britannia
rules f:nstead Ct rule) the waves"
and quote Macbeth as saying,
"Scg@w Jour courage to the sticking
point, instead Of sticking place" "
Those two familiar lines of Samuel
Buffers, "He that complies against
his will is of his own opinion still"
are usually misquoted as, convince
a man against his will, he's Of the
same opinion still"
Shakespeare never wrote cts an
i'll wind that blows nobody good"
although this is the version general
ly given of the correct words from
Henry w." which run, ell blows
the wind that profits nobody" Ma
thaniel Lee is similarly treated in
regard to his phrase, "When Greeks
Joined Greeks then was the tug of
war;" which more often than not is
misquoted as, 'When Greek meets
Greek then comes the tug of war"
money is the root of all evil" is
a travesty of the line from the first
Epistle of ST. Paul to Timothy,
'"The love Of money is the root Of
all evil" Another Scriptural pas
sage which is often incorrectly
quoted is the sentence from Prov
cribs, 'Pride goeth before destruc-
ton and an naughty spirit before a
fall" The popular version is,
pride goes before fall"
That fine phrase from Wolfe's
poem, FFThe Burial of Sir John
Moore" which runs, 'But we left
him alone with his glory" is very
badly treated by people who say,
"Alone in his glory" while the cor
rect words, as written by Longfel-
low, of the phrase so often used.
Cali things come to him who waits"
are, GAIL things come around to
him who will but wal" --Londcn

TIE STORAGE WAREHOUSE.
It Sheds Some Side Lights Upon life
and Morals.

It Sheds Some Side Lights Upon life
and Morals.
Fer a few dazzling side lights upon
life and morals apply to the storage
warehouse. You can find almost any
thing there from baby alligators to
blocks of ice cream and from Teddy
bears to sauerkraut. So you won't be
amazed at what the institution has
most recently divulged. Here you have
the story:
Mrs. O. repaired to the storage ware
house to extract her soup spoons
though it may have been aunts or IN
cles or popcorn or guinea pigs. Al any
rate her property declined to come out
1t had been tucked in by Mr.. O. Only
Mr.. @. might tempt it forth. Mrs. ..
protested She wanted her catnlp or
theology or safety razor, or Whatever
it was, and made representations with
great emphasis. she moved upon the
management. She stOrmed and wept.
After long wrangling the warehouse
decided it would yield up the college
ice-or was it the piano?-H Mrs. -.
would swear she was still married TO
Mr.. Q. and would send him a written
statement Che was in Quebec. and !
lost track of him owing to bewilder-
ment produced by merely thinking of
storage warehouse) and make him re-
turn the statement, countersigned, to
the management This, then, is how
Mrs. G. regained possession of her golf
links or prayer book or sugar tongs.
Well, say it was sugar tongs. though
golf links would be likelier.
Pressed for an explanation, the ware
house remarked: 'Have to be careful,
you know-divOrceS, separations, af-
f1nities, you know. Minute such things
start up there's a race to the storage
place. Game is for each to snatch out
everything first. Becomes embarrass-

BAYFIELD,

From the Press:
In che of the most exciting and
hotly contested games of basket bal!
ever played in this city, the Wash
burn basket ball team went down to
defeat in this city last Saturday
evening at the hands of the local
team which consisted of Allen and
Francis Boutin, Nelson Brigham,
Harrison Mussel and Paul Johnson.
The game throughout was replete
with brilliant plays and despite the
fact that the teams we're evenly
matched in weight, the superior skill
of the Bayfield, lads was in evidence
many times. The game was perhaps
the toughest ever played in this city
and in many instances the mixups
resembled a foot ball scrimmage.
An extra large crowd was in attend
ance, in fact the hall was crowded to
it's capacity. The final score stood
% to ID in favor of Bayfield,. At
the conclusion of the game social
dance was had until IL o'clock.
Mrs. A. FL. Wilkinson entertained
at an afternoon party for Miss Fitch
of Milwaukee and Mrs. A. E. La
Bonte of Ashland one day last week
the afternoon being spent in sewing
and while present the ladies dis
cussed the formation of sewing cir
Gle to meet every week. Delicious
refreshments were served and the
guests left for home voting the after
noon most pleasantly spent.

A Ready Retort.

An Irishman walking in one OF
the streets Of Dublin saw a man
leading a dog on the opposite side
of the street. He got rather inter
ested in the dog, and, crossing the
street, he touched the man on the
shoulder and said, 'Would we moind
telling me the breed of that dog?"
The man, who happened to be in
a bad temper, turned round and,
looking at the Irishman, said, eyes;
it's between a monkey and an Irish

MUTT MAKES
A PREDICTION
Northern Pacific Manager Calls
Attention to Location of Depot
Entrance.

Predictions that East A street,
from Front street to Naches avenue,
will be one of the leading business
streets of North Yakima and will
rival Yakima avenue, We're made by
General Manager Mutt of the North
ern Pacific railroad when he was In
North Yakima Thursday.
In making these predictions, the
railroad man called attention to the
fact that the entrance to the depot
will be at A street and that all
passengers from Northern Pacific
main line trains, from the Sunnyside
branch and from the North Yakima
& Valley line will go through this
entrance and make their exit on A
street.
It has been the history of cities
that the placing of railroad station
at street intersection means the
upbuilding of that particular dis
trict.
A. d. Charlton, assistant general
passenger agent, and w. +. Safer,
travelling passenger agent, share the
opinion expressed by General Mana
ger Mutt in his prediction.
'The street ought to be paved
from Front street to Naches avenue
right away. 1t is an important mat
ter and should be attended to. It
means much in advertising the prog
ress of the city. The present paving
is good. What the city needs is
more of the same thing. And the
next street to be paved should be
East A street"
There are now located on or near
A street some of the most prominent
public and semi-public buildings.
These include the theatre, three pub
lie service corporation offices, daily
newspaper offices. public library, and
two churches. The court house and
Yakima Valley Transportation com
pany Offices are only block away
from the street.

HUBBY" NOT IN CONTEMPT
Judge Preble Hands Down Important
DeciisOn Based on Mitigating
Circumstances.

According to a decision handed
down in the superior court Thursday
afternoon, the inability of a divorced
husband to pay alimony is not con-
sidered by Judge Preble as sufficient
ground for contempt proceedings and
Imprisonment of the defendant.
In the case of Frank G. Anderson,
who about year ago was granted a
decree of divorce from his wife, Bon
ita Anderson, the husband was grant
ed the custody of two children and
the wife the custody of the third and
Anderson was ordered to pay $40 a
month alimopv. This he failed to do
and contempt proceedings were in
stituted.
The evidence showed that Alder
sons earnings for the past year were
not sufficient to maintain his two
children and himself and pay the ali
mony too.
In delivering the opinion the court
stated that while differing from Jud &c
Gay of King county in a recent de-
! cision, he believed that the circum-
stances surrounding this case were
such that the defendant was not in
contempt. He admonished attorneys
however, that this particular decision
should not be taken as a precedent
in all similar cases. McAulay &
Meigs were attorneys for the com.
plainant and Thompson & Dunbar
for the defendant.

FEAR OF LOSS WAS TOO MUCH
Had Amusing Experience i'm Pioneer
Days of Montana as Result of
Quarrel With Banker.

Phillip Saunders and Harry Yea
ger of Lewistown, Mont, arrived in
the city Thursday afternoon for an
inspection of their ranch of 500 acres
near Naches City. The former is one
of the old cattlemen of Montana and
the latter the leading banker of Lew
listown.
Mr.. Saunders is something of a
character as well as a lifelong bach
elor. He is western pioneer and
looks it, and his friends in Montana
declare that Phillip Saunders word
is as good as his note.
In connection with his financial
operations story is told of a run-in
that he once had with his banker
several years ago. when there was
only one banking institution in the
town, and only one town that had a
bank within radius of so miles.
Mr.. Saunders took exception to the
| treatment that the bank accorded
him and said so. Some words fol-
lowed and he declared that he would
draw his money out of the bank.
The banker signified his willing
ness and the dough to the amount Of
several thousand dollars was counted
out in gold coins of the denomination
of $40. Even bag to carry it away
in was refused Mr. Saunders, where
upon he procured some coal oil cans
and carted it away to his ranch cabin.
The safe guarding of that amount
of money entailed something Of a
hardship but Saunders resourceful-
ness was equal to the occasion. A
number of large holes were bored IN
the logs in the side of the cabin and
the coins inserted vertically and the
holes sealed up on the inside.
This proved well enough for a few
days but fear that prowling bad men
would hear of the hidden gold kept
him awake nights and guard was kept
night and day. Finally he recon-
sidered his hasty action at the bank,
took the money back in the same oil
cans and made peace with the insti-
tuition and its officials.

tunnel. the Johnson creek tunnel
and the track between Garrison and
Missoula will be finished in forty
days. Then all that remains is the
work of putting the road in condi-
| ton.
Two miles east of Missoula. at
Gold creek, has been selected for the
place to drive the golden spike. and
by strange coincidence it was in
this same Bitter Root canyon that
the golden spike of the Northern
Pacific was driven. although some
miles distant from the spot selected
for the finishing mark of the Mil

The completion of the million dol
lar bridge across the Columbia river
is alone a great feat in building the
Milwaukee road. Over half mile
| in length. with its sixteen piers,
which carry the structural steel nine
| ty feet above the low-water mark, It
is one of the greatest bridges west
of the Missouri river. It has been
under way considerably over year.
| Track laying began on the bridge
Immediately after the last stringer
was in place, and today the steel is
being put down westward toward
Johnson creek tunnel at the rate of
mile day.
Within three weeks the track will
be connected between the gaps that
now exist between Johnson creek
and Ellensburg. in the Taft tunnel
and in the Bitter Root valley. There
are few oulverts to be installed and
then the Milwaukee will have a steel
connection between Seattle and Chi
cago.
President Earring of the parent
Milwaukee company; President Will
liams. of the Puget Sound line; Vice
President Ingersoll and many other
officials and some 70 the stockhold-
ers will be present at the ceremony
of the driving of the golden spike.
1t is anticipated that W. G. Rookie
Teller and other prominent men will
be present.

some as being day of i'll luck, to
the Milwaukee is the day of all days.
1t was on a Friday the Milwaukee
was incorporated in this state, and
Friday has seen most of the impor-
tant moves of the company either
started or finished.
