But as a member of a committee
from the Spokane Woman's club
seeking the appointment of three
police matrons in the Spokane jail
she had occasion to address the
counciu. What she said will stand
as the original municipal roast for
some periods. She pointed out the
necessity for police matrons in the
woman's ward of the Jail by re-
marking that Chief Sullivan and
his officers were not fit persons to
search women prisoners or to
otherwise be entrusted with the
care of women. Then she took up
each councilman record and his
affiliations and said some rather
personal things which the council
men had not heard been made
public before.
Next morning Chief Sullivan
threatened to sue Mrs. Stafford
for $40, 900 damages to his injured
feelings. Likewise a very mad
council declared that never, oh,
surely never, would 1t grant any
police matrons.
Some of the members of the
woman's club were rather scared
at the rumpus that had been kick
ed up, but Mrs. Stafford merely
damned a couple of hat pins
through her hair, to anchor tightly
her war bonnet and sailed forth

less, hungry little pussy, but TO-
year-old boy has bten awarded a
gold medal by the King County
Human society for kindness.
Vaun Allen found the homeless
animal and took it in. He fed the
cat and took care of it until MANI
ma as he named it, grew slick
and fat. Vaun entered the cat in
show and just to show her appre-
citation of his kindness she took a
first prize. Then the humane So
ciety gave him medal for extra
ordinary kindness"
Vaun believes that God made
the animals as we'll as the human
beings, and that the four-legged
ones are deserving of all the hui
manity in the world because they
can't talk and tell just what they
need or how badly they feel when
people kick them out of their way.

The Bird.

One of the most remarkable clea-
lures known to natural history is the
bower-bird, which builds a miniature
cabin made of small sticks and sur
rounds it with a perfectly-kept ring
or circus, composed of twigs and moss,
studded with brilliantly-colored flow
ers, fruits and insects. AS the curious
ornaments become faded they are con
stantly replaced by fresh ones, so that
scientists are inclined to credit the
bird with the possession of the arts
tic sense. In these decorated play
grounds the males meet and pay their
court to the female, the bower being
used purely for purposes of recreation
and not as a westinghouse. These
birds are chiefly found in the owen
Stanley Range of British New Guinea.

women In the car who wore nice
white gloves look quizzically at his
wife's white gloves, which were GOV.
cred with an extra glove that looked
like a c~heesecloth baseball mitt. Sew
eral times he was on the point of al
luding to those mitts and asking her
If it wouldn't be just as well to taxi
them off, but he didn't, and after they
got to the reception he thanked the
little god of silence, because while all
the other women who had chung to
straps and door jambs had soiled
gloves by that time his wife simply
peeled off her cheesecloth mitts and
displayed immaculate gloves which
evoked enough chances of envy to
make up for the ridicule of the trip
downtown.

If dust or other foreign substance

nor epdeavor to remove the irritating
intruder for a moment or so. Close
the eye, holding the lids together with
the fingers until the tear duct begins
to work, then open the eye and, UNI
less the dust has caught fast to the
ball, it will be washed out by the
tears. Those who ride often in open
cars or through dusty streets should
wash their eyes before retiring with

acid and water, a teaspoon of either
the salt or the acid being added to a
glassful of water and a bit Of alb

COUNTRY BOYS, THINK TWICE
Should Ask Themselves What Is Real,
ly to Be Gained by Plunslna
Into City Life.

Before making a plunge into city
selves what is really to be gained by
1t. Perhaps in their quiet, rural home
some stray advertisement has reached
them, promising to young men high
salaries for light work.
Hundreds of advertisements are
framed for the special purpose of de,
ceiving the unwary. They accomplish
their purpose, however, and a large
number of young men rush up to the
city, dazzled by the confusion of prom
ises.
A boy from the farm answers one
of these ads. Life may have been
slow at home, but there was always
good food and In plenty. and there
was some one to care for him in the
old farm house..
When he gets to the big city he
finds that the light work. consists In
working all day in a badly lighted and
in-smelling workshop, where scores of
other men and boys are employed at
wages hardly high enough to keep
body and soul together.
We all know what M next. The
boy has left home and is ashamed and
unwilling to return and he must take
the consequences and may find him
self in some cold garnet, lonely, over
worked, Respondent and miserable.
Better remain at home than risk the
failures which attend so many young
men who go to the city in pursuit of
high pay for light work.-Jno. Barrett.

Firearms sell at comparatively low
prices in Rio de Janeiro and other
Brazilian cities, owing to the compare
lively low duty and to the fact that
many European and American manu-.
facturers are reputed to sell their sur

margin of profit. Retail prices for ali
kinds of firearms range from about 35
per cent. to so per cent. higher than
