EDITo RIAL.

BEING Good Fellow in the modern acceptation
of the term means practically being Good Thing
A man who spends his money freely or who is lavish
with other peoples money is generally designated
Good Fellow. The bene6ciaries OF the Good Eel
lows liberality are lavish in praise and indulge in
the highest terms of endearment regarding the good
ness and the greatness of the Good Thing. Let re-
verses come to the Good Fellow through his prodi-
gality and kindheartedness and the first to desert
him are the former sycophants and toadies.
The Best Fellow is the one who is modest IN
his demeanor lives within his income, with a little
at least to spare-and pays his bills promptly There
NAV be no camp followers on his trail and none to
publicly sing his praise for the tariff it will bear OF
the favors it will produce. The Best Fellow, how
ever beats the Good Fellow badly as the sun beats
the moon in keeping the earth warm.
The Good Fellow is sure to play out, but the
Best Fellow keeps gaining strength as he Journey
along the pathway of life. His years are full o
honor and his days counted as glorious all aont
the milestones of his earthly career
The Best Fellow is not barroom habltue, no
does he hang around the club. He does not vast
his substance in "jning' societies and fritterlnl
away his energies which be utilized with create
benefit to himself and family. The Good Fello'

Outbreak Of Disorder.

A nice legal point arises in the
state of Washington, where they
have one of the castiron laws which
makes cigarette smoking an Of
Tense punishable by not less than
life and not more than death, I
think it is. It seems that the sher-
if was observed as he was taking
an afternoon walk in Yakima with
a travelling guard from Walla WAL
la, and two gentlemen who were
shortly to serve the State without
hope of reward. Now, these latter
we're smoking cigarettes. There
is no doubt about tit was in the
paper; they were smoking cigar
cites. Certain of the "unco guild"
fred by this unwonted defiance Of
law and order, approached the
sheriff, who, it is stated, is himself
a leading anti-cigarettist. But
what could be done? Like Men,
bers of Congress during the ses-
sion, the daring law-breakers were
temporarily immune from arrest
Force indeed might have been
legitimately brought into play, but
the sheriff was Quaker. q put
that in, myself, SO as to complicate
things bit). The proper course
might seem to have the grand jnry
return an indictment, with a view
to pressing the charge at later
date, and subsequently, making it
life under the statute providing
for habitual offenders. The OBJ
lection to this lay in the fact that
the men had life already. Under
these circumstances what was the
proper course to pursue? The
! sheriff cut the Gordian knot. By
q fortunate coincidence, on this
occasion he was stricken with q
temporary or snow blindness which
: curious enough did not extend
further than the cigarettes them
> selves. These latter had for him
no objective existence, appeared,
. as it we're, mere smoky nothings.

President Lambert submitting the
amendment relating to the board of

gineer from the board. The amend
ment also gives the mayor power to
appoint and remove city officials
without confirmatio NOT the council.
