Rellinoham, Everett Mount Yer
non and a numbe of smaller towns
in the Puget Sound district were
voted dry last Tuesday by majorltles
ranging from 278 down to IL. In
most of the places the fight waged
between the "wets' and the "drys"
was such bitter one that nearly all
else in connection with the election
was given but little attention SO tar
as conducting the campaign was con-
cerned. Friends of the candidates
for the office Of prosecuting attorney
and also for members of the state
legislature put up hard fight, the
wet and dry factions taking sides
AGAINST one another for the reason
that they believed these matters to
have direct bearing upon the local
option question. In counties over
whelmingly Republican some OF the
Democratic nominees who were
known to be friends of the dry
movement were elected by good
majorities, especially if they were
opposed by men who were inclined
to favor the vets. Partisanpolitics
in these instances seems to have been
forgotten, the fight centering on the
question as to whether such scandi-
dates favored either one side or the
other. The drys voted for the dry
candidate regardless of his party
affiliations and the same was true of
the vets. In this district the DEM
ocratic nominee for state senator
was elected by an overwhelmingly
majority, the impression being gen.
eral, whether just or not, that his
Republican opponent who, as a
member of the lower house in the
legislature four years ago, was allied
with the wet forces, was being sup
ported by the liquor interests in this
campaign. The fact also that he
bolted the Republican ticket four
years ago and ran independent in an
effort to defeat the regular nominee,
Senator Blair, doubtless also had
much to do with his defeat. Mr..
Troy is a gentleman of pleasing per-
sonality and high character, ex-
perienced in legislative matters and
popular throughout the district. He
is pledged to support the regular
Republican nominee for United
States Senator, Judge Poindexter
and also favors certain legislation
desired by the Grange, whose mem
bers generally supported him.

INVIcTusg

Out Of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch Of circumstance
I have not WINGED nor cried aloud;
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbow'd.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how straight the gate,
How charged with punishments the
scroll,
/ am the master of my fate,
am the captain of my soul.

General Ogle, member Of the Penn
sylvania assembly, had been deputed
to compose an address to the newly
elected president, Andrew Jackson.
When the old warrior submitted his
document to the house, a fellow mem
Der, a short man of light build, from
Philadelphia, observed:
Pardon me, general. hesitate
about making any suggestion to so dis
tinguished an individual, but l cannot
refrain from saying that it is custom
airy with cultured letter writer's to
write the first personal pronoun with
capital II instead of a small T."
General Ogle returned look of
scorn. "Sir," said he, when write
to so great a man as General Andrew
Jackson, Democratic president of the
United States, abase myself abase
myself, sir. I use as small an IL as I
can put upon paper. But, sir, if ever I
should have to write to little snipe
like you I would use an t. sir, that
would fill two pages Of foolscap."

The Bellingham Herald of last
Saturday says that the people Of

their lawns and plucking roses and
sweet peas while the people Of the
Atlantic states are wading through
from six inches to two feet of snow !"
If it were the residents of the snow
covered states that were credited bv
the Herald with moving" their
lawns it would not seem at all sur
prising. A typographical error Of
one letter in the word made the ed
itorial read moving" instead of
moving, but it proved to be
rather amusing one to all who
noticed it. There are doubtless manv
people Of the Atlantic coast states
who would like to move their lawns

The Ways Of Nature.
Montaigne invents speech of Nature
to man:
Life in itself is neither good nor
evil; it is the scene Of good or evil,
as you make it. And if you have lived
a day you have seen all-one day is
equal and like to all other days. There
is no other light, no other shade. This
very sun, this moon, these stars, this
order and disposition of things, is the
same your ancestors enjoyed and that
shall entertain your posterity.
"And, come the worst that can come,
the distribution and variety OF all the
acts Of my comedy are performed in
a year. The revolution Of my four
seasons comprehends the infancy, the
youth, the virility and the old age Of
the world. The year has played its
part and knows no other art but to
begin again. am not prepared to Gre
ate for you any new recreations.
"Give place to others as others have
given place to you. Equality is the
soul Of equity. Who can complain Of
the same destiny in which all are in
cluded? Besides, live as long as you
can, you shall not shorten the time
you are to be dead; you shall be every
whit as long in the condition you SO
much fear as If you had died at nurse. Z

The School Of Adversely.


At banquet in Lyons nearly CEN
fury and a half ago a discussion arose
in regard to the meaning Of painting
representing some scene in the mythol-
ogy or history of Greece. Seeing that
the discussion was growing warm, the
host turned to one Of the walters and
asked him to explain the picture.
Greatly to the surprise Of the company,
the servant gave clear and concise
account of the whole subject, so plain
and convincing that it at once settled
the dispute.

The seizure by the state pure food
authorities in Seattle of shipment
of several thousand turkeys from
California, which were infected with
a great many more microbes than
the law allows, has served to call
general attention to the fact that
the Pacific Northwest does not be-
gin to supply its own cities and
towns and logging camps with poul-
try, eggs and dairy products. 1t
seems strange indeed that the great
states of Washington, Oregon and
Idaho are unable to supply the peo-
pie of Seattle and other cities with
their Thanksgiving turkeys yet the
facts of the seizure of spoiled poul-
try in cold storage warehouse in
Seattle illustrates clearly the fact
that the Northwest is not yet self
supporting in some lines. No strong
er argument than this can be laid
before the easterner and middle
westerner who is thinking about
coming to the Northwest and taking
up land. Prices for all products of
the soil are higher in the Northwest
than anywhere else in the country,
the market is always good, with the
demand exceeding the supply. When
the cities of the Northwest have to
import their eggs from Kansas and
Missouri, there is certainly an ample
field for new settlers on the rich
agricultural lands, which the trio of
Northwestern states offer to the
newcomer.

In company witt 4 native servant

Its head. The animal continued to
claw and bite him. while Lieut. Ander-
son. fighting for his life, dubbed the
lion with the butt end OF the rifle
All the while blood was streaming

Find Happiness In Children.

Very domestic is the life of the Bel
CLANS, and the children enter into
every sort Of interest of the parents.
They would not think of going to the
restaurant or summer garden without
the children, and their own pleasures

their boys and girls. The father goes
to the circus with his little troupe Of
young folks about him and enjoys
their joys. The happiness of the peo-
pie is centered IN their homes, and
anything that wifi! Interfere with the
