19O9-In the republic of Mexico there
were stirring times during the summer
of 1909. An election for a president
was approaching and rumors began to
be circulated to the effect that Ber-
nardo Reyes would be pleased to sue
ceed President Diaz, provided he could
make the rifle without losing his life.
Reyes himself finally heard these ru-
mOrs and fearing they would reach the
ears of President Diaz and cause him
some anxiety before they could be
proved to be absolutely unfounded
Reyes betook himself to the mountains,
where the pure mountain air was calcu-
lated to be beneficial to his health.
About this time President Diaz dis
covered that some of his best soldiers
were suffering from bronchial troubles,
or something of that kind, and he de-
cided to send them to the mountains
for a while, and by some peculiar ac-
cident of chance he sent them to the
very place where Reyes was recuperat-
ing. Something about the popularity
of this circumstance struck Reyes as
soon as the soldiers appeared, and he
hastened away in the night and made
his way to place where he could ad-
Vantageously issue a statement to the
effect that he never thought of such
thing as being president. The vice
presidency, he said, or any old under
study job like that, was plenty good
enough for him.
Shortly after this President Diaz' SOL
diers returned to the capital, fully re-

TOOK HIS EMPLOYERS ADVICE

The proprietor of one of the prin-
cipal firms in the city had remarked
that his head clerk, for whom he had
a real liking, had for some reason
fallen into great melancholy, and
though he tried his best he could not
find out what was the matter with the
young man.
One day at last the sufferer owned
that he was in love.
"Well, marry her." said the chief.
"Oh but" here the young man nearly
broke down, "she belongs to one of the
best families in the town-the parents
will never consent"
Pooh! your position is good, your
name honorable; they won't refuse. I
will demand the girl for you. Does she
love you?"
yes. She will be at your ball next
Perfect! Now, listen to me-" said
the employer. Leave the ball quietly
With her. Joseph, my coachman, will
wait for you at the door and drive you
to the station. He will ask no ques-
tions. When you are out of the way
I will see the father and settle every
thing for you"
"Is that really your advice?" glee-
fully exclaimed the youth. do you
want me to do it?"
yes, I command you to do it. Now,
cheer up"
The next day the clerk proposed the
plan to his sweetheart, who made some
objections at first, but, overcome by his
reason, she said at last
"Well, if he really orders it, I must
obey"
What was the general stupefaction
when. after the ball. the daughter Of
the house was missing!
Mad fool that I was" exclaimed the
enraged parent 'it was my own
daughter"
The next day he wrote:

citement on two continents. In the
midst of it the Duke of the Abruzzi
packed his grip and went on little
trip to the Himalaya mountains. This
move was taken by the newspapers to
indicate that the wedding would not
take place until his return, at least.
Meanwhile Miss Elkins stated to in
terviewers that she was not engaged
to the Duke Of the Abruzzi which
was understood by the newspapers to
evidence a desire on her part to delay
the wedding until after the engage
ment took place, under any circum-
stances. The return of the Duke of
the Abruzzi from his trip to the Him
alayas was taken by the newspapers
to indicate that the wedding would
take place some time in the future,

1t was then revealed that the EN-
peror Franz Joseph of Austria favored
the match, as also did Emperor Will
liam of Germany, while Edward, king
of England, was opposed to it. This
was taken to indicate that the Duke OF
the Abruzzi was going to have some
hard shedding before he got through
with it, to say the least, and when
there was added to this the positive
statement that King Victor Imman-
uel of Italy was saying very little but

the father of the girl announced that
it was none of the public's business
whether his daughter was engaged to
the Duke of the Abruzzi or not, the
public began to show the greatest in

it as to sweat, at times when some

1909-Tn England. during the latter
part of this year, the suffragettes en-

it's object the causing of all men to
become so disgusted with life under
present conditions that they would
sneak off by themselves and live in
some dark cave, in complete solitude,
for the remainder of their natural lives.
These ladies, who desired the right of
suffrage above all things else. were
making great headWay along this line
when a magistrate at Birmingham. in
England, suddenly and without warn
ing, sentenced several Of them to three
months at hard labor. In sentencing
them he stated that while he did not

A. mating of the hotel and res.

At a meeting of the hotel and res
tsnrant keepers Of Seattle last week,
after a lengthy discussion, a resolu
ton was passed pledging the maintain
ence of present prices during the per-
iod of the Alaska Yukon Pacific Tx
position. The pledge will inquest
ionshly be fulfilled, and means that
visitors to Seattle this summer vii!
be able to eat at the restaurants and
live at the hotels at normal prices,
and that no advantage will be taken
of the Exposition crowds by the Ca
terers. The pledge of the gathering
WAS secured after Director General
Nadeau, of the A. Y. P. Exposition,
had made an earnest speech to the as
semblage, urging the need of a prompt
denial of rumurs that prices would
be raised this The restau-
rant and hotel men played fair with
the Exposition officials, and did not
seek to conceal the fact that they had
seriously considered raising prices.
They felt that the expense they have
gone to in helping the exposition.
would Justify them in making all
they could out of it. The appeal of
Mr.. Nadeau and others to the public
spirit and loyalty to their city of the
men assembled. finally prevailed. BY
entertaining her visitors at reason
able prices, Seattle will establish a
new record for Exposition cities. and
gain much prestige. There will also
be a direct gain in patronage from
the Northwestern states. when the
fact that living is not sky-high IN
Seattle becomes known. The restau-
rant and hotel men by their pledge
have aided both themselves and the
Exposition.

NEW FEDERAL BUILDING
PLANS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED
POSTMASTER JOHN T. WOOD RECEIVES COMMUNICATION
AND DESIGN OF FIRST FLOOR OF THE new
POSTOFFICE RULDNG

Hon. John 7. Wood is in re-
ceipt of a communication from
the u. S. Treasury Department
submitting plans for the new
Federal Building, which is to be
erected in our city at an early
date.
Through the untiring efforts of
Hon. E. S. Gambler an appropria-
ton of 100000 has deem secured.
and possibly this amount may be
enlarged upon.
The design submitted gives
only the first floor, which is to be
about 75x85 feet, and will front
on Fifth street, The main en-
trance will be across the corner
fronting the Bradford home.
There will be $50 No. l boxes,
$50 No. 2 boxes and 26 No. 3
drawers. Boxes and drawers
will be added as our population
grows. Postmaster Wood has
been asked to suggest any neces-
sary changes to meet the de-
mands of Columbus.
They say: "As this matter
is urgent, it is requested that it
receive consideration at the earli-
est convenience, and that the
drawings be returned as soon as
possible, in order to avoid delay
in the prosecution of the work. "
This news is very gratifying to
our people and it looks now as
if the building will be commenced
in the near future.
