 In the morning, when the excursionIsts awoke, MT. Justwed was not to be found. On the table in the dining room, how ever, was a hastily scribbled note ex- plaining that he had taken one of the boats and gone fishing.
 Whereat Mrs. J. nearly became bys- terical. She knew Homer-dear was in need of rest-he had insisted that he be allowed to loll around and take every thing easy before leaving for Pleasure Cove. And he hadn't had a moments real rest since arriving. poor boy.
 Dinner time came, but DO Mir. Justwed.
 The afternoon heightened into the shades of evening and still no Homer.
 Mrs. J. was frantic She knew Homer dear had been drowned She just knew
 Mommer, however, intimated that a man who would run away from his fel- low excursionists for the entire day and let them do all the work not only de- served to be drowned but also should not have any supper when he did return.
 Tn the midst of the excitement the tired figure of a man pulling wearily at the oars of a small boat was deserted
 
 Jagged and 1t was a full 20 minutes be- fore he beacbed his boat
 Mrs. Justwed was there to meet him her handkerchief to her eyes and the tears streaming down her face.

 Laboriously Mir. Justwed lifted his days catcb-hve eels and two small cat fish-from the boat.
 Do sit down a moment and rest, Homer-dear, before climbing the hill." Mrs. J. insisted solicitously.

HEROES OF THE TRACK AT THE \. \. J. MEET AN OUTLINE OF EVENTS AT
 SEATTLE. The Principal Clubs of the Country
 Will be Represented.

Seattle, July 21-(Special Core spondence of The Republican, That the big Amateur Athletic Union Cham pionship meet which will be held for the first time on a western field this year, will be the greatest intersection al athletic struggle ever competed in the United States, Is beginning to be realized by the sport critics of the country.
 The athletic clubs of the west, know ing that this Is a rare opportunity to meet the east in terms favorable to western athletes. are preparing for the meet to be held in the stadium of <he Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition on August 12 and IA, with an energy that shows their resolve to change the history of past contests between the east and the west.
 With Firest Smithson. Ralph Rose, Gilbert. Dan Kelly, and many other famous athletes competing for western athletic clubs. the outcome is a matter of doubt The fact that Stanford has successfully competed against the eastern colleges in track for the past two years on an eastern field. has en- couraged the westerners considerably.
 The east will be represented by the Irish American athletes of New York, the New York Athletic club, the Chi cago Athletic club and a number of other powerful organizations. Never before has an athletic contest so stirred up the different sections of the United States.
 The struggle between the Seattle. Multnomah and Olympic clubs for the supremacy of the Pacific coast will be second only to the great sectional fight between the east and the west.
 The Multnomah club will have Smithson. Gilbert and Kelly of the American Olympic team at London. Smithson, the worlds champion hur- dler, who won two firsts in the Lon don games. is easily the favorite in the hurdles. Especially in the high hrudles. he Is considered as unbeat- able. Shaw, formerly of Dartmouth, will be a close competitor however. Cheek of the Olympic club team is a prominent figure in the low hurdles.
Arizona republican., 1909-07-25

He has beaten Smithson several times hopeful that he will be able to repeat in past years and the Californians are the performance. On thing that faV ors Smithson is his steadiness. Cheek is man less often in true form while the champion is always ready.
 Gilbert. the great Yale pole vaulter.
 who tied for first place in the Lon don games, is another western athlete who is counted on to win first His record in the east makes him the fav-
 orite <bver the rest of the field in the vault Lonergan of Stanford, a con
 sistent 12-foot performer who will compete for the Olympic club team, is his closest adversary. Foster. the Whitman college vaulter, who will rep resent the Seattle club. has record of II feet 6 inches.
 Dan Kelly, who holds the worlds
 record for the 100 yard dash, is back
 again for the A. A. U. meet. Dan failed to make showing in the east
 in the sprints. but in the broad jump
 he proved himself to be one of the best
 men in the world.
 Kelly broke a bone in his foot early this spring but he is now in good shape again The Multnomah club is
 endeavoring to induce the redhaired oregon boy to tackle the sprints again | but it is probable that he will be en- tered only in the broad jump. Kelly completely lost his taste for 1 sprinting at the Jamestown meet sev- i eral years ago and he has not raced
 since then. In the broad jump. how
 ever. he is probably good for first | place.
 Among the latest eastern entries for ! the meet are F. F.. Nelson, the well known sprinter. and J. E. Ballard, who will compete in the mile, for the Bos- | ton Athletic club. These men are well l known throughout New England and
 will undoubtedly be strong compet- itors.
 1 In Jack Nelson and Oliver Huston. ! the west has two brand new college 1 sprinters, who are looked upon to do
 things Nelson will compete with the Seattle Athletic club and Huston will
 run for Multnomah. Both of the men | who have unrecorded records of Q 35
 seconds in the 100 yard dash. @ The Olympic club is banking on Parsons and Snedigar in the sprints. These athletes are prominent in Cal ifornia and have achieved some dis tinction in the past.
 President J. E. Sullivan of the A. A. U. reports that he is hopeful of secur- ing the famous Jim Rector. of the
 American Olympic team of London. as an entry with one of the eastern clubs in the exposition meet. Although Rector announced his intention never to run again after his defeat by Walker, the South African, President Sullivan believes that this decision of Rector's can be changed.
 MT. Sullivan has written personally to Rector and a number of the large

''I am going to take some of that crushed orange for mine, and why don't you girls take some of 1t, too
 'Is orange really good7" came the chorus of sweet voices. "We never tasted crushed orange in a soda, and we are at such a loss as to what to order Now, really, what do you think is the best flavor of all7 Let's look at the menu, and then select what we think Is best"
 My, don't those plneappies look good Wonder how they would taste? Why don't we try some pineapples, dearT'
 Meanwhile. the clerk was still waiting The other customers were beginning to get excited and some were leaving.
 'Mr. Clerk" asked the chaperon. now. really. what do you think Is the best flavor you haveT'
 The clerk glanced over his havors and replied that he liked nectar better than any other.
 "oh, I just can bear nectar! What else do you think Is good7'
 The clerk didn't reply this time. but started to wait on the other customers. The three young women became angry.

Almost all women prefer chocolate to any other flavor, but they like to look over the menu to talk of the merits of the different havors, find out what flavor l like and then in seeming despair order their favOrite chocolate.
 We try very hnrd to please the women-we have to do it. The other day several women came in and went through the usual rigmarole before choos- ing their flavor. Finally one of them asked about crushed strawberry. Now 1t happened that we were just out of straw berry. They seemed very much surprised and talked among themselves of going to some other place for their soda. Then one of them suggested that they take chocOlnte, and the motion was carried by q unanimous vote. Chocolate was whnt they wanted. but we were roasted pretty heavily for not having a supply of crushed strn wberries on hand.

TT WAS a large party indeed that got on the train at the Pleasure Cove way station the other weekend and climbed into a half-dozen rowboats,
 to be pulled across the Cove to the clubhouse on the other side. There were two of Mrs Justweds married sisters and their brood of youngsters and nt least three other families intimate friends had been asked to join the back-to-nature expedition that sought to escape the city's glare and heat At the last min ute MOmmer-in-law had arrived from her home town with two other friends in tow and her usually severe and killjoy type of ccuntenance. And way back in the crowd. tugging manfully at two of the heftiest lunch baskets. was Mir. J., as grumpy and sour and mad as you please.
 Along in the middle of the week he had come home from the bank. hot and tired and worn, aud had sighed and fussed and fumed about vacation being so far of. Oh. for a rest in the Out-Of-doorsi lazy. do-as-you-please journey into the open! And, strnightway, for his especial benefit. Mrs Justwed had organized the jolly little picnic.
 Mir. J. was delighted is. be was until the day itself came. and ne found out the size of the party. Then he started his grumbling. The idea of taking 6 whole city on a stunt of that sort. Why couldn't Mrs. J. have limited the party to a sensible half-dozen! As 1t was, 1t would be nothing but work from start to finish! Who would watch out for all those kids. be would like to know! Instead of 1t being a rest sOr him. the entire two days outing would be nothing but an eternal round of labor and toll!
 So Mrs. J. had begged and implored him to do nothing but rest; had assured hlm that he could loll around the entire time and read, smoke and go to bed with the chickens, If be cared to, and not get up again until the same feathered fowls were ready to retire the next night. In fact. she promised his ideas of a rest in the open would be met go fully that even his meals would be served him in bed, If he so desired. Failing to see the hidden vein of sarcasm In Mrs. Us voice. Homer-dear had been pacihed- and there be was!
 At the landing when Mir. J. started to toll up the narrow pathway to the club house on top of the hill, Mrs. J. inter- fered emphaticnlly. Indeed, he shouldn't cnrry those baskets! He was tired and needed the rest and the other men were in good health and perfectly able to carry them. But MT. J. refused to argue the matter with her ana settled 1t by

A few linen covers over your furni- ture makes a room look several degrees cooler than 1t really Is. If you have out side or inside shutters. keep them closed on the sunny side of the house during the day and open after sundown. If you have a vine-covered porch, live on 1t and by all means do your sewing there
 One of the most important things Is to screen your house. This Is not only nee essary to your personal comfort. but as a matter of health. The most daintily served meal will be ruined by the pres ence of flies iu your dining-room. Again. 1t is aa established fact that flies carry diseases.

A Fear Being Expressed by the Press of Paris.

Paris. Franco, July 24-The Paris press is skeptical today about the du- ration of the new cabinet, but the gen. eral impression Is favorable to Its members. Money interests are grati- fled over the disappearance of Calliaux from the finance ministry.
 The socialists are in consternation that the portfolios of war and marine will go to professionals. The minis terial declaration of the necessity of a coalition of the capital and labor in terests strikes a welcome note in the newspapers. The inauguration of this policy is largely attributed to the ideas advanced by Samuel Gompers.
