nation of all. Instead of recaiv-

Otto Kraut, the proprietor of the

the restaurant keeper had lost in a
business transaction.

weed" of the plains. (By the way,
this plant, too, is responsible for
word, "1ocoed," which means
insane" all over the west.)
The Greeks knew of the prop
critics of this strange Sandman
plant. Also they knew the art of
assimilation, of concealing sor-
row or secret purpose, and they
often laughed the laugh that does
not come from the heart. Asso-
ciating this laugh with the mirth-
less laugh of Sardinia, Homer
writes of "A broad sardonic smile
of dread Significance"
So much for "sardonic."
"Sardine" comes from this
same root. Sardines are simply
little behring's that were origi-
nally taken in great numbers off
the coast of Sardinia.

The Intururban limited and the

on collision of the trestle over the
Duwamish river seven miles this
side of Seattle at 30 yesterday
afternoon in which several Taco
mans were badly shaken up.
Miss Alice Reid was thrown
across the car and her nose cut.
Elliot F. Kelley was bumped
against a fellow passenger and
had couple of teeth loosened
and his mouth cut. Several pas
sengers were bruised and Jared
some but none seriously injured.
The motors on both trains were
badly smashed but came into Ia
coma later on their own power.
The valley was full OF fog at
the time and the car men could
not see.
The trains had slowed down
because of this fact or there would
have been much loss of life as
both trains were filled.

the first moment the scholarly
waiter set his eyes upon her, his
heart began to sizzle off the altar
of admiration. Vistula presented
a pretty sight with the savory halo

WARBURTON IS
MILES AHEAD

Returns today indicate that
Warburton has the congressional
nomination by about 1900 over
McCredie, and nearly 5000 over
Claypool.
Warburton carried Pierce, Che
halls, Clallam and Thurston over
McCredie, but was beaten in
Thurston by Claypool, which was
the only county Claypool did car
ry. McCredie had a plurality in
Clarke, Cowlitz, jefferson, Lewis,
Pacific, Skamania, Thurston, Ma
son, Wahkiakum. The plurality of
nearly 5000 for Warburton in
Pierce offset all the little counties
and gives the Tacoma man a good
plurality.
With Chehalis and Mason coun-
ties not reported the vote was:
Warburton, 9,757; McCredie, 81

So from time immemorial peo-

laughing occasionally when they

how the world got it's name for

THE COST OF LIVING
BY II. H. Hudson


When Mark Must left his pre-
carious law practice and assumed
his duties as one of the walters at
o downtown restaurant, his associ-
ates thought he had gone crazy.
The fact was otherwise, however.
for the enterprising attorney saw
farther into the future than they
did. Mark had counted all the
cost. Worry, hunger and despair
might give the face the thoughtful
expression of a great lawyer, but
pride maintained at such cost was
foolish.
OF course, his new position bore
its penalties, but the discerning
young man had expected this, and
when the ladies who had looked ia
voraboly upon him as rising mat
rimonial possibility heard of it,
they rendered the same verdict.
The truth was, that he bad enter

A woman, said to be the wife

county, went into store in Bay
City, Mich, and asked to see a
young mans suit of clothing.
She asked the clerk if she
might step into another room and
try on the trousers, saying her
son was the same size as herself.
When she came out she had
her skirt on as usual, but no
trousers were in sight, and she
started away without paying for
them. The clerk asked her to
settle.
The woman refused and defied
the clerk to take possession of

to call a policeman, and the
trousers were not recovered until
she was arrested and stripped by

How many people there are in this
state who seem to regard Wisconsin as
an old state, with agricultural resources
near full development. How few there
are that realize that, while something
over sixty years old as a state, there is
still more than one-half of our agricul-
tural area yet to be developed. There
are Il, 100000 acres of land in farms
while there are still 1000, 900 acres of
agricultural land wholly unimproved.
The cheap prairie lands of the west, to
which there has been such rush in
the past thirty years, have caused Wis
consin lands to be comparatively slow
in development, and half the state re-
mains to be put under the plow. In the
next few years this development may
continue to be comparatively slow, but
eventually the work of improving our
wild lands will commence with great
rush. We have the best dairying state
in the union and it will grow at great
pace in the future. The many uses to
which the smaller sizes of lumber can
now be put will also tend to the devel-
opment of the northern counties and
the advent of the steam grubbing ma
chine will be another important factor.
There is room for 200, 900 more farmers
in Wisconsin and it is only matter of
time when we will have them. Black

At Royal Hall.

The interest in the play est. Elmo
is not confined to any class or age of
men and women. The book has been
popular with the last three generations
and the management asserts that it is
no unusual thing to see three genera
lions of one family at performance.
Readers of fiction recall est. Elmo
as one of the most beautiful love stories
of the language. The character of
Edna Earle is undoubtedly as appealing
as any in fiction, and the regeneration
of ST. Elmo Murray through her love is
tale of which one never tires.
Miss Grace Hayward, who dramatized
the book, has taken few liberties with
the story, and the result is a play that
fully satisfies, wholesome and true to
the last degree.
The appearance at Royal hall next
Wednesday, March 10Th, matinee and
evening, is one of the most promising
events of the year. The original COM
pany and production are guaranteed by
the management.

A GOVERNMENT expert from the ag-

tied this part of the state, says that
the southern tier of counties in Wiscon-

in the whole United States. A COM
parison of the incomes of the farms in
the district will really prove this, he
asserts, and when one considers the
vastness and the productiveness of the

can easily believe this to be the case.
