&c. WMtmdn;S First Girl Graduate.
Mrs Herbert C.. Gre00

Mrs. Herperc c. Gregg, retiring and
unassuming, is one of the greatest
characters in this city today. Her
history, though carrying many things
in common with other women of her
day, is Yet unique and interesting. She
has the honor of being the first girl
graduate of Whitman college and
proudly lays claim to the distinction
of having set out the only class tree
that lived from the class of 1885.
Many friends remember Wen how
cheerful Miss Emma Slime was when
she stepped up to receive her Diploma.
She was just Is years old and the
world was before her: a future was
planned, bright and wonderful: and
yet-how different the ANTICIPATED one
from the realization.
"A man came into my life" laughed
Mrs. Gregg when she gave out the in
formation confidentially, and 1 feel like
Veritable thief to give this story to
the public. But 1 believe that in her
heart of hearts she will forgive me
when she finds I have BETRAYED her for
human interest sake.

That Platform Again.

They spent considerable time in the
j senate debating the question as to
what was meant by the promise of
tariff revision contained in the nation
al republican platform. Senator Hey
burn, (Rep., Idaho.) said in a speech:
ITO revise means to look into, to see
again, and to review for the purpose
of correcting errors. That is all, and
nothing more All this talk about re-
vision meaning revision downward is
merely captious and frivolous sophis-
try and clubbing"
caused much merriment was to this
effect: '"The senator from Idaho is
correct Revise means to see again
1t comes from the Latin word re-,
again, and "videre,' to see. Translat
ed into French it is 'aurevoir'; in Ger
man, it is 'wiedersehn' and translat-
ed into every dead and living language
it has but one definition and means
but one thing and the expert who
framed the republican platform, being
a lawyer of great distinction, now oc-
cupying a high place in the federal
service, knew exactly what he was DO
ing when he put the word revision
into the body of the instrument. He
meant 'au revoir,' we will Sc you again,

says, Its cold here You must be
cold. You'd better put on your coat
And she will not rest until you are
sitting in your coat.
And therein lies the whole trouble
The desire to mold the world into
your favorite pattern isn't such a
wicked one. 1t is simply the result of
seeing things so very strongly your
own way that you don't realize there
is another.
Though the type allowed to run wild
brushes the vitality out of the weaker
personalities around it, properly check
ed it usually does a good deal of good.
The onus is with the people who
don't administer the checks, who don't
keep their coats off when they want
them Off
If I and my fellow sufferers would
someday astonish the dear exasperat-
ing ladies of the managerial ability by
gently but firmly asserting ourselves
we would thereby become public bene-
factors
With all these written arguments be-
hind me perhaps I'll be bold enough to
try it next time occasion arises.
Wish me Good Luck.

Guild work which she declares is a
pleasant diversion from her home and
social duties. She represents Walla

movement known as Greater Whit

EVENING CHIT-CHAT
BY Ruth Cameron

She has the kindest heart in the
world. She really loves you very dear
ly. She wants above all things on
earth to be good to you. But she must
do it in her own way. She must mold
you to her pattern. And that's all there
is to it.
OF course you've met the lady. Every
one has.
And, of course you've writhed be-
meath her this-is -the-right- and only
thing for-you- TODD goodness Every
one has.
And maybe you've lost your temper
at her and flown out at her and then
been properly ashamed of your ingrati-
tude. Everyone but the naturally born
angel has.
She is usually a relative of an old
friend of the family. She is always
someone who feels perfectly at home"

WILD DEBAUCH FATAL TO ONE
RANCHER AND POSSIBLY TWO
Between Them They Manage to Use
Three Quarts of Whisky.

STEVENSON, July 17-After drink

debauch yesterday. Louis Moore is
dead and Charles Clifford is in a pre-
carious condition. Both men are we'll
known ranchers near here
The men visited Stevenson yesterday
and bought gallon of whisky. A few
hours later Moore's body was found
and the demijohn, with less than a
quart of whisky in it, near by. Leo
Moore, only son of Moore, fastened to
the scene and tried in vain to revive
his father. Clifford was found in a
comatose state. DR. Frank Pratt ad-
ministered an antidote and the man
may recover.

Pork, Then Art.

When they were talking about art
galleries in the senate, Carter of Mon
tana. told how one American city came
to be favored with a notable collec-
ton.
IT know a man." said Carter, "in the
city of Milwaukee who started into
the pork packing business many years
ago AS extra funds appeared avail
able from time to time his natural in
clination led him to invest in pictures
and works of art. They We're first i'm
ported by him individually. In the
course of time he retired from the
pork packing business with a cOmpe-
tency and some surplus. He establish

Waukee which is now one of the gen.
uine sources of pleasure and delight
,lot only to the inhabitants of that city,
but to the people of the state of Wis
consin. The Leighton Gallery will
compare favorably with any gallery in
a city of that size in the United States
or any other country outside of the
art centers of Europe. Further still,
this venerable old gentleman enjoys
the evening of his life travelling all
over the globe collecting works Of art
for that gallery. That is the culminat-
ing work of his life
