CELEBRATE 6lST WE'D
DING ANNIVERSARY
DIR. II. G. Pease and Wife, Recently
OF Grants Pass, Cele-
brate.

Hundreds of people in this city
will remember DR.. and Mrs. H. G.
Pease who left here a few months
ago for Portland on a visit to rela-
tiyes. Later they went to Pullayup
to see their daughter. Arriving
there In time to celebrate an import
ant event In their lives, the 61st an
niversary of their marriage. There
are few people who have the good
fortune, We copy the following
from the Puyallup Tribune of Nov
ember 81:
Or. and Mrs. Horace G. Pease, re-
cent arrivals in Puyallup from Ore
gon, celebrated the 61st anniversary
Of their marriage on Thanksgiving
Day The occasion was quietly OBJ
served at the home of their daughter,
Mrs. j. W. Way. on Cherry street.
DR.. and Mrs. Pease were married in
1S4S in Berkshire county, Mass. Both
were born in CRANKY. Conn, and are
of old Colonial stock. Their grand
fathers were soldiers in the war of
the revolution and their fathers in
the war of 1912. Mrs. Pease's father
was major OF artillery at 10 years
of age.
Rules for Happiness.
"The rule for happy married life
is an old one" said Mrs. Pease, as
she beamed upon The Tribune re-
porter yesterday Just the two
'bears'-bear and forbear."
Eyes, and If each one keeps up his
end of the yoke there's not much
danger of serious trouble" added
the venerable doctor.
Four children have been born to
the union-two boys and two girls,
OF these, but two survive, Mrs. ]. w,
Way, of Puyallup, and George H.
Pease, of Grants Pass, Ore.
But One Wedding Guest Now Alive.
DR.. and Mrs. Pease were married
by minister who had been pastor
of the church for fifty years, The
wedding was a pretentious affair,
the young couple having been sup
ported by three bridesmaids and
three groomsmen. At the Thanks
giving dinner previous to the cere-
mony thirty relatives were seated.
There were 100 invitations issued,
and of all those in attendance but
one is alive today--a nephew, who at
that time was Is months of age,
Playmate of President.
Mrs. Pease when a child was n
playmate Of the late President James
A. Garfield. DR.. Pease, now retired,
practiced medicine for almost thirty
years. The two have spent most OF
their lives in South Dakota and Iowa.

WASTED EFFORT.

The following attempt to inculate n
little domestic science is by the
Washington star man. OF course II Is
futile, and We merely copy it to show
how void of discretion a mere man
may be. to thus waste his efforts upon
the impossible, The Star says:
The handbag habit OF the ladies Is
Il bad one. But the victims of this
habit seem to be unable to overcome
1t. Perhaps they have no inclination
to do so. II Is fashionable for ladies
not to have any pockets and there
fore there are no pockets. II is fash
ionable to carry handbags, therefore
handbags must be carried. The ease
Is settled. And If the ladies insist on
handbags, why. OF course, men must
concede the point and declare that
handbags are charming.
Handbag snatchinB Is a regular EN-
ployment with petty thieves. Yet it
can scarcely be called an employment.
Handbag snatching Is so easy that il
might be called a recreation with
thieves,
The Sunday star recorded another
case of handbag snatchlng. Cases of
this kind are so common in big cities
that the police think of them as in
cidents.
\ lone oma and a swaying, dang
ling handbag present a temptation to

Hearst's Los Angeles of a recent
date gives the information that the
Santa Fe is going to double track their
entire system from Chicago to san
Francisco. That is good news. The
article also contains the misinforma-
ton that the company already has a
double track from Albuquerque to
Winslow. The double track is not
visible to the naked eye along here,
unless the writer means the old Santa
Be trail. However, We are of the
opinion that il will only be a short
time until all the side tracks along
this division are extended which will
