flinging his cap at the farthest chair.
Did you Jackie" said the father.
And how do you like your little
friend?"
Great! He told me an awful funny
story. He said once there was a man
and he went out and his wife told him
not TO dare go anywhere that she
couldn't go too if she was along, and
when he came back she asked him
where he'd been and he said-'
'That'l do, SOM" exclaimed Mr..
Peeved, with a nervous start OF recog-
milton, we've heard enough"
Mother Interested
Nonsense" cried Mrs. Peeved. 60
on, Jackie, it sounds very interesting,
I'm sure
We'll, when she asked him.
Jacket" shouted his father, go to
bed at once, and If ever 1 hear you
going with that Jugs boy again you'll
hear from me-"
You see, Petty" he explained in
answer to his wife's scandalized ex-
preston. "one of the boys-a stranger,
he was-started telling that at the
club, and land I heard it before I had
time to get away"
Mrs. Peeved shifted.

where's Jackie?" inquired Mrs.
Peeved, as she spread out her embroid-
cry on her knee and surveyed it critic
ally.
''Why?'' answered Mr.. Peeved. that
Jugs, or Jars, kid came around and
l told him he could go out with him.
What" cried his wife. That Bot
ties boy! I've told Jackie repeatedly
not to associate with him. 1 don't
like his looks, and I think he's a rough
boy and has bad influence on Jackie. -
Fathers Views
"Bosh," retorted Mr. Peeved. This
thing Of forbiddIng a child to go with
this person and that person has ruined
more boys than the cigarette habit.
The sooner you let Jackie understand
that he is to choose and pick among
the other boys for his companions the
sooner he will begin to study human
nature and find out for himself just
what kind of people it is not good for
him to associate with.
Now l don't know anything about
this Mugs boy or whatever his name is;

Trailed In the Park;
Or, a False Alarm

They strolled through the park
s'happily that one. or, in fact. any
number could not but perceive they
were in love.
(The felicitous use of "s'happily'
in this sentence was a large influence
in the acceptance of this story. The
discerning reader will at once see the
connection between the word and
'sappily," derived from sap" which
at once brings to the mind a vivid
picture of bursting buds. How much
better than to BADLY mention that the
season was spring!-Ed.) ...'.
Yes, they were in love. They had
been playmates as children, both of
them, and they had gone to school to-
gether to the same school.
Suddenly a shudder passed over the
young man and disappeared up the
bridal path.
There is that ominous rustling
sound again." he breathed. "a man
must breatheD 'I fear that Jack Dali
ton has carried out his threat and
put cutthroats upon our trail"
The girl drew closer to him..
Il detest cutthroats," she whis-
pered.
Suddenly a sinister sound sizzled
sibilantly through the silence. 1t was
whistle. The rustling, audible now
on all sides, drew closer and closer.
"'Tis them" muttered he.
Scarcely had the, mutter passed his
lips when dark figures burst upon
them from every surrounding tree.

SHE HOLDS TT TO THE
Girl Who Ridicules Her Lovers Ambitions
He Takes a
Treat

at the start, you want him not to
make you conspicuous as he learns
how. You think of yourself as his
sweetheart. You do not think of him
as your lover and your possible hus-
band. His ambitions are for your fu-
ture as well as his. He is fired with
a belief In himself; and you extract
1t with your laughter.
II Demosthenes had had you about,
he would not, at this moment, be
sending his eloquent, soundless voice
down the centuries. You would have
laughed at his stammering. You
would have said, with all that hate
fulness which girl can scrape up on
occasions, DENY, dear, you are q
Joke! Don't make speechesl Make
hay with the other farmers!'
He Will Find Company
Possibly, though. he did have q
sweetheart Perhaps. that Is why he
fed to the seashore and the waves
companionship. But let me tell you,
that the seashore Is not the lonely
place II used to be. Your sweetheart
will find company II you drive him
there. And the company may be
feminine and sympathetic. 1t may
know that q mans ambitions are tho
best Of him.
It's a terrible risk to let another
woman get q chance to sympathize
with a man you want to hold.

Well, to get back to the olives, the
boss saw his chance when a down-and-

luscious green ribbon to sell cheap. The
boss bought about ten yards and tied a

Unconditional Surrender
iOf Fort Sumter

Victory belongs to South Carolina,
says later dispatch. with the display
of flag of truce on its ramparts, Fort
Sumter, at half past l o'clock, ceased
firing and Internationally surrendered
The South Carolinians had no idea that
the fight would end soon. 1t Is not
known when the Carolinians will oc-
cupy Fort Sumter or what will be done
with the vanquished.

obsession with her.
Her right name was Polly without

Polly enjoyed strolling on the boule-

About Easter time Polly got a new

She put 1t on the Sunday before
Easter and started out for little

She strolled finally over the bridge

Instead of being made of cement

Thinking of her new suit, Polly

1000 Confederate Troops
Arrive at Charleston

The following dispatch was received
at Philadelphia at $50 last night:
Firing has continued all day with
out intermission. Two of Fort
Sumter's guns have been silenced, and
breach has been made in the south
west wall. OF the nineteen batteries
in position, only seven have opened
fire on Fort Sumter; the remainder
are being held in reserve for the ex-
pected fleet.
At a. m word was received that
the bonn bardment was still going on
every twenty minutes from the
mortars. 1t is supposed that Major
Anderson is resting his men, as he
has ceased to return the fire.
Fort Sumter is well equipped to
withstand a lengthy siege, except for
the scarcity of provisions. The walls
are of solid brick and concrete
masonry, sixty feet high, and from
eight to twelve feet in thickness,
pierced for three tiers of guns.

On the 18th day OF February
1908, the writer landed at Kenne
wick. He came directly from Spo'
kane having heard Of the wonderful
future ahead of the new town Of
Kennewick as well as the great pos.
sibility of the soil of.the surround
ing couotry which was< tn be put

then under construction by the n.

It was dreary uninviting spot.
The buildings on Front street con-
sisted of the old Antler- Hotel, one
half its present size; Sylvester 4
Roseman's frame saloon and Gerry E
store, and further east the old Ken
newick Hotel, destroyed by fire two
years ago. Moore's warehouse stood
as today across the tracks. Mrs.
w. A. Moran conducted the post
office in the section house, and the
railroad depot, the present North
Coast depot, stood short distance
west of the section house.
On Second street L. S. Erley con-

& Sweigert ran a hardware and fur
niture store in the frame building
recently vacated and moved of Sec

Kennewick Hardware store was just
opening up their stock. On the
south side of the street John F.
Shafer had erected his barber shop.
The old Exchange Bank building
was under construction; johnson &

occupied by Gravenslund's photo
graph gallery. The small office oc.
cupied by the Kennewick Transfer
Company stood on the corner OF
Second and Yakima streets and wal
occupied by H. A. Hover.
The Hover House and the Ham,
shire House stood side by side and
competed keenly for the favors of the
travelling public. On the east side
of Washington street were three or
four small frame buildings, part of
them still remain. and others on
the site Of the Bank of Kennewick
and north of those still standing,
have been removed.
F. This comprised all of the business
houses in the town of Kennewick
excepting one, not the least by any
means, namely: the Columbia Cour-
Ter. On Washington street across
the alley from Hamilton's Supply
Company, stands little building.
At that time it was all alone and
the broad view of the Columbia
River, the Blue Mountains and the
glorious sunrise was unobstructed
by any other buildings. The de-
licious newness of its interior and
exterior were not nIarred by the
painters brush, nor were the inter-
ior arrangements spoiled by injudi-
cious partitioning. The building
had only one room comprising its
full dimensions, 14x20.
E.P. Greene, or Pea Greene" as
he styled himself, occupied the rear
portion of the room, with print
ing press and few cases of type.
The EDITORS table was large dry
goods box upon which was piled
promiscously the exchanges, the ed
itor's. indispensable assistant, a pair
of scissors, a paste pot and a brush,
ink stand, a pencil and a subscrip-
ton book. A tall cadaverous prin-
ter was perched by the case sticking
type, a large quid of tobacco bulged
out one of his cheeks, making him
appear as if suffering with "lumpy
jaw At frequent intervals he
shot a squirt of brown saliva at the
distant cuspidor with admirable
precisions
In the front end of the room stood
another dry goods box and an office
chair. This was presided over by
c. A. Lundy, now deceased. He
also had a partner of the name OF
Rigg. C. F. Breithaupt, now oil
Richland, also held down this box
