of the finest particles Of soil, dead
leaves, smoke or ashes from wood
fires, salt from ocean spray, the
shells or scale from microscopic
siliceous diatoms, germs of fungi,
spores Of ferns, pollen of flowers,
etc. In the still air Of damp nights
these dust particles settle slowly
down, and the morning air is COM

light the sun warns the soil, which
heats the adjacent air, and the ris-
ing air currents carry up the dust
as high as they go. Under certain
conditions this layer of dust reaches
higher and higher each day. Dur
ing long, dry summers in India it
reaches to height Of 1000 feet,
with a we'll defined upper surface
that is higher in the daytime than

more of hazy weather in autumn is
because there is then less horizontal!

am an attorney in a village about
which cluster q number of prosperous
farmers.
One day a man named Hugh Jor.
bert came into my Office and asked me
to take a case for him. Jorbert was
thirty-two years old and fine speci-
men Of a man. He was we'll looking,
we'll off and bachelor. When he stat
cd his case was astonished. A young
widow from the city. twenty -four years
old. had spent summer in the neigh
borhood and had turned the heads Of
half the young men who had met her.
Jorbert wished me to bring suit for
him against her for $4,000 for breach
of promise to marry him.
No such suit had ever before been
brought in the county. Such a suit
had rarely anywhere been entered by
a man against woman. and Jorbert
was the last man should ever suspect
of wishing to demand damages for his
blighted affections.
endeavored to dissuade him from
taking action in the matter. saying
that it would only injure him in the
community and would do no good. Now
and again one of these fascinators are
let loose on the community and do a
lot of harm among the men: there was
no way to stop them or to punish
them: the best way was to ignore
them. If men were so foolish as to be
duped by them they must take the con-
sequences.
But Jorbert was bent on pressing his
suit. so wrote preliminary note to
the widow. informing her that was
instructed by my client to claim dam
ages for his wounded affections and
would be pleased to receive from her a

FLOUR CHEAPER
ABROAD
SPOKANE BRANDS SELLING
FOR IS CENTS LESS ON THE
SACK AT NEWPORT, WASH.
THAN HERE, is THE REPORT.

Some surprise was created today
by the report just received that
Spokane flour is selling in New
port, Wash, for rs cents less on
the sack than in Spokane. In Spo-
kane the price was recently ad-
vanced 10 cents per sack, now re-
failing at S1.a0.
This begins to look IS if the mill
ers were not giving Spokane pa
irons a square deal. 1t is charged
that the millers. like every other
line of business in Spokane dealing
in food supplies, have combina-
ton that raises and lowers prices
at will.
After the recent advance in flour
wholesale, grocer was asked:
For what will flour sell now"
His reply was: Il can't say until
see what the retail price has been
fixed at
The grocer was told to advance
l0c on the sack by the millers, and
up it went.

today. ut needs it badly. and l can
testify to this from personal expe-
rience. There is discrimination in
the charges for the service given,
and if you are good fellow or a
particular friend of the superin-
tendent or his assistant you can
save some money in your bills. If
you are not so fortunate you can
pay the limit.
"Take the case of the Spokane

test to the superintendent, c. D.
Harmon, that the barn should pay
double the rate it was paying in or

that the proprietor of the barn was

him for a long time and did not
want to raise the rates on him. So

at that place.
