Oats. AS a rule, oats are max

we looked the paper over, saw

And as we scanned this partic-

the wonder is not that the ever
busy advertising mail order

they do not sell more. With

Burnt Noses They Play Conspicuou. Part in the
 Game of Love.

Your nose looks like bologna frankness of a close friend.
 Why shouldn't it?" he answered de- fantly. I've been on the links all day"
 Then she laughed, leaving him un- certain whether she was laughing at his nose or his joke.
 Uncertainty is a painful emotion, es pecially when 1t Is a question why pressed, melancholy. He had meant to boast of having made the Is holes in 76. He had expected to- be con- graduated and admired, to have his masculine vanity flattered. And she had gone away after laughing at his nose without giving him chance to tell of his prowess.
 But I will win her yet" he said to himself. "The next time I play golf I will wear a sun mask"
 And the next day it rained.
 Being unable to stay in the house and commune with his thoughts. he went outdoors and communed with them. The sobbing wind drove the on fire, but that did not keep his clothes dry. And just as the sun had begun to shine again and the fit of blues was being evaporated into the blue of the atmosphere he met her once more and again she laughed.
 Are you trying to wash your nose down to its proper size and color" she asked.
 After she was gone 1t occurred to him that he should have said some thing to the effect that it was cruel for young women to infiict blows on other peoples noses. but he did not think of that in time.
 Tn state of desperation he deter mined to invite her to go rowing with him and see if the effect of the sun on her own nose did not make her a bit sympathetic.
 Like takes to like" he reasoned. "and when noses develop an affinity for one another 1t may happen that hearts also will beat in unison."
 But she prudently sheltered her face with a parasol and mischievously asked him whether, if his arms should give out, he could not row the boat home with his splendidly developed nose. ae sr sstr As
 He rubbed vaseline on his nose that night, but 1t did not soothe his heart. He wished she would do something to imperil her life. so he might rescue her and make himself a hero. but she was as careful of her life as she was of her complexion.

Electricity and Grapes.

There is no denying the enterprise of the persevering Dutchman. One grower at least has sought to improve his output by the aid of electricity In tue wineries can be seen live wires. which run along the interior of the building. These do not come into contact with either the vine or the soil, hut their presence is believed to be beneficial Experiments were made with two adjoining beds of spinach. In the one case, where the electrical ef- feet had been tried, the vegetable was ready for marketing at the same time that the other had barely commenced to sprort from the ground. This latest deve at in fruit and vegetable culture IS as yet in its infancy. What will be the outcome of tie ingenious idea 1t is impossible to foretell.-Dun- dee Advertiser

Predicted the Alrshlp.

Horace Walpole is quoted by the Westminster Gazette as having made the following prophecy in 17S4 after Blanchard's first ascent in a hydrogen filled balloon: The seaports will be- come deserted villages. and Salisbury Plain, Newmarket Heath and the Sus- sex Downs will be utilized as dock yards for aerial vessels, There will be fights in the air with wind guns. and there will be prodigious increase of land for tillage by the breakup of the public roads as useless" This, says the. Gazette. was intended to be facetious; yet If the noble earl had seriously predicted 125 years ago ex- actiy what has recently been achieved in cir flights he would have been called madman. rather than a hu- mortst

Not unless I'm sure the driver can see the end of his nose, at least" she | answered.
 While this was plainly hint for an invitation he felt that he could not | endure more bumps on such sore point as his nose. But there must be an end to all things. even to raw noses, and no sen sible girl ever will lose a good beau for the fun of teasing him about his personal misfortunes. After he had been gnawing at his heart till it was almost as sore as his nose, only he did not wear it on his sleeve, so it could not be seen, he surprised her one day humming little air with the refrain: 'He should propose despite his nose"
 At least she made him think he had surprised her. Whether she really knew he was within hearing or not the historian will not attempt to say, but the aforesaid historian has his suspicious. At all events he took the hint and proposed-a game of golf He persuaded himself that the links would be the best place to suggest to her the delight of linking her life to his.
 q don't know how to play" she pro- tested.
 You begin by making a tee" he ex- plained.
 Yes" she said, "and how much does that count?"
 Tt does not count anything"
 Then what's the use of doing it?"
 Why, the tee is what you drive from"
 Well, why can't we have the tea here at home and you take me for a drive in the automobile?"
 That wouldn't be golf"
 But don't you think it would be lovely?"
 So they had tea and the automobile drive and she never said a word about his nose. It was getting nearly well anyway However. he did not pro- pose. He was afraid she might refuse him and then the whole delightful courtship would come to an end.
 Imagine his consternation when the next day he saw her on the links learning golf under the guidance of another fellow. His heart ragged with Jealousy. ,r,ia. ~este }t-s,y tts.t
 Competition is the life of ,courtship
 He called on her boldly that even ing and began the conyersation thus;
 Did you come out of the game with a free heart and whole nose?"
 BluEhingly, she rubbed off a fleck or tvo of white powder. which had been applied little too freely in an effort to hide the sunburn..
 "I don't mind burnt noses." she said D "It's much more painful to have one's nose broken" he replied.
 Have you had that experience, too?' s,-s .4. ....

HASIILTON WILL STAY.
Adjutant General of National Guard
Will Remain During Legislat-
i've Sacsinn.

OLYMPIA, Tuesday, Feb. g..
Adjt.- Gen, Ortis Hamilton will re-
main in charge of the national guard
of this state until the close of the
legislature, and his successor, whom
sover he may be, will be man n,u-
tually satisfactory to both factions
in the guard. This mears that the
quartet Of Seattle officers wha have
been insisting upon Hamilton's i'm
mediate resignation and the appoint
ment of either Major John Stringer
or Capt. Maurice Thompson, will
yield both points and permit the
choosing of a national guard officer
who is neither identified with them
or those who have been most active
in opposing the Seattle quarter.
Lieut.. Gov. M. e. Hay is largely
responsible for the decision to leave
Hamilton in charge during the leg
islative session, for he peremtorily
refused to consider any national
guard reorganization scheme that
savored of politics. When Gen.
Hamilton and Capt. Thompson went
to see him together today he imme-
diately notified them that while ne
was willing to discuss national guard
affairs and the appointment of an
adjustnageneral. he would not pc
party to political scheme.
If the pledge made to Major Otto
A. Case that Hamilton should not
be reappointed, and the inference
given out that Case could name Ham,
ilton's successor, had to fail because
the only method of making good
these promises was to recall Cos
grove from California. That was
manifestly impossible, and Hay was
permitted to hold up the demand
for political appointment.
The agreement of national guard
factions to postpone the selection of
a new Acknowledgement will also
mean the passage of new section
in the military code that will pro-
vide that an officer of the grade of
captain or higher shall be detailed
for duty as adjustna-general. Under
this provision none of such officers
would lose their rank in the guard,
and after service as adjutant-ge
eral would be restored to rank.

CHANGE NAME OF STREETS.

At last Tuesday nights meeting
of the Hoquiam council, the street
committee filed report on the pro-
posal that the names of streets lead
ing from Aberdeen to Hoquiam be
made uniform. Under the sugges-
ton advanced by the Aberdeen au-
thorities are to be as follows: Simp-
son, Aberdeen, Bay, Railroad and
Sumner avenues, Cherry and Nine
mire streets.
Councilman Gillette said that the
East Side Improvement club had
discussed the matter and recon-
mended that the name Pacific be re-
tanned; also that name Hoquiam be
applied to one of the connecting
avenues.
Messrs, Hoag, Gillette and Hoover
were named as committee to con-
fer with the Aberdeen authorities
and arrange for the new names. The
Aberdeen council agreed to this at
their meeting last night, mad now
Ninemire street will be known here
after as Pacific street.

WILL BUILD LARGE HOTEL.
Syndicate Of Seattle Capitalists Will
Be in Control of the Project.

A hotel to cost from 100000 to
$150,000 is one of the projects of
the Seattle syndicate, at the head of
which is l.. II. Griffith, who planned
the deal for the Stewart holdings
in the northern section of Aberdeen.
Plans for the hotel are under way
and it is to be constructed with a
view to the prospective growth OF
his section. 1t is understood that
optinnH have been secured for a
site somewhere between Market and
Second streets which the syndicate
has figured is to be the real center
of business in the future.
Maps of Grays Harbor and Aber-
deem have been prepared and that
numbers of them have been sent to
persons in Aberdeen indicates that
the men connected with the enter
prise must have had the scheme of
coming to Grays Harbor in mind for
some months. In addition to the

been published showing the princi-
pal streets and other interesting
facts about Aberdeen and vicinity.
Numbers of the maps and pamphlets

OLYMPIA, Feb. 2.-Senator w.
H. Paulhamus, of Pierce county, in
troduced in the senate today a bill
to provide for the guarantee of bank
deposits by the creation of a bank
depositors' insurance department to
be headed by the state examiner

Paulhamrs is designed to prevent
what is technically known as "pyra-
miding' in bank stocks. That is &c
say it prohibits one bank from own
ing any stock in any other bank
ad is aimed to prevent a recurrence
of the upheaval such as was wit
messed in New York year ago last
November.
The directors of banks are re-
quired to make weekly investigations
of the assets and liabilities of theil
institution and to keep at least sc

bilities constantly on hand.
1t is proposed to create a depos-
itors' insurance fund by assessi "a :
every bank in the state one-half #

the year following and one-eighth OF
1 per cent every subsequent year
when the reserve fund has reached
$1,OOO,000.
Only / 0 per cent of the money SC
assessed or the resery eund is to be
paid in cash and 80 per cent will
be paid IN demand certificates. When

self for the stability of any bank
The money paid by banks into the
reserve fund is not lost to the bank
but in the event that it should g(
out of business. the amount paid ir
will be returned.
The plan is to set apart certain
amount of the funds of each banl
so that depositors may be paid II
the event of the insolvency of any
institution. When bank become:
insolvent, the state bank examiner
acts as receiver and takes full
charge Of its affairs.
