BERS OF LEGISLATURE TOAST
ED.

Fred Reeves returned last night
from Monroe, where, on Saturday, he
attended a meeting of the board of
managers of the Washington State
Reformatory. In the evening a re-
formatory banquet was rendered to
the managers of this institution, to
Gov. NJ. E. Hay and to the Snohomish
county members of the legislature,
by the Monroe Commercial club. This
Ereformatory is proving of great bust
ness benefits to the little town of
Monroe, and this banquet was given
ito commemorate the commencement
of the work on the permanent build
ings, and from reports it was a very
enjoyable affair.
Mr.. Reeves responded to a toast,
"The Lawyer on the Farm" and it is
safe to say that he upheld the law

men of Wenatchee, who make side

Green at the Game.

The two strangers boldly entered
the towns imposing bank building
to which they had been directed, and
approached the cashiers window.
whats this for?" inquired the
man behind the window, as one of
the strangers deposited bogus
check on the slab.
"Check for 5000 Cant you read?"
WELL" replied the cashier, smil-
ingly, scrutinizing the piece of pa
per, you'll have to be identified, you
know"
The first forger pointed to his
companion. "This gentlemanIl iden-
tify me-"
AS the second man stepped for
ward the cashier looked him over.
"Well, I guess it's all right, gen.
tlemen. You both have such open
faces there's no need of asking your
names or business. Just indorse the
check, please"
This being quickly done, the
amount was counted out, and the
forgers departed in high glee.
"Ain't he easy" piped one, on the
way out.
"It was a shame to take his mon
ey," rejoined his pal. "Our first
game was a cinch."
But a moment later both novices
hurried back to the cashier.
Say" blurted out the first forg-
er, "this is stage money!"

the cashiers calm rejoinder. ''The

Defeated Entiat Team.

The Independents, of the Wenat-
chez high school, met the Entiat
high school team at Entiat last at
urday and defeated them in a well
contested game, by a score of 10 to
g. Moody and A. Harris did the star
playing for Entiat, while R. Morrison
and H. Penhallegon played a steady
game for Wenatchee. Many brilliant
plays were made by the Wenatchee
boys, including a beautiful catch by
n Carlberg which resulted in put
ting men out on second and first
bases Also a double play was made
by Penhallegon, Dittman and Ed.
Carlberg. The pretty running one
handed catch made by E. Ross into
deep left field highly deserves men
tioning. The Wenatchee boys left
the impression with the Entiat boys
that they know how to play baseball.

Ready for His Last Day.

General Miles tells a story of a
corporal in a regiment under his
command in the old Indian fighting
days. This corporal was much chat
fed by his comrades for his oft re-
peated expressions of belief in "fa-
tality" and destiny
One day it appears that the cor
poral, while off duty, was preparing
to take a little horseback exercise
and recreation. A private observed
that the corporal took care to at
tach a brace of pistols to his sad
die.
"Hello!" shouted the private to
the corporal. What are you taking
the guns for? They won't save you
IL your time has GOMEZ"
"True. for YOU" grimly responded
the corporal; "but I may happen to
meet an Apache whose last day has
come"
