RNH the youngsters asked him for a fairy story. Daddy said 1t vas IN

- "Once upon a time there were a king named Julian and q queen
named Helena who had a little son, whom they decided to call Hazel Inc

One fairy, who ws called Spite, ws not invited, because they thought that
she might harm him.
ION the great day Spite came also. After all the good fairies had bestowed
their gifts Spite stepped up to Hazel and prophesied that a misfortune would
come him when he vas eighteen years of age.
"Au went well until Hazers eighteenth birthday, when he went ut or a
walk in a forest After he had been walking for som time he saw a beau

looking old woman. Hazel tried to run away, but he stumbled. When he
arose the old woman, who was the fairy Spite, waved her wand " him.
He felt his feet sink deeper and deeper into the earth, he became very tall,
and branches with leaves began to grow out of hsh head, arms and shoulders.
He became the hazel tree.
"As the prince did not return his parents set ut with severals servants to
search the forest. But they never found their sol. One day a woodcuter
tried tt chop down the tree, but a swarm OF wasps settled N him and nearly
stung him to death.
Several years had passed, and Juian's kingdom had been invaded by his
enemies, and he, with Queen Helena and their daughter Mary, had been
taken prisoners. One day in every year the fairies lose their power, and It was
on this particular day that Junans enemies decided to burn Helena and
Mary together because they refused to give up their religion.

Cleanliness of person and strength, both moral and physical, / should

Ambition, a sufficient degree of generosity to make a wife sure of

One lady who ought to know something about the matter, having
had three trials, say that an afecdonate disposition is by all odds the

they will allow them to borrow their

The only possible use I can see for
the trousers skirt is for outing, noun

seen some models which, when the
wearer was In repose, fell together
after the manner Of ordinary skirts,
and they were not half bad for this

will have to be satisfied with her little

Nearly all the women whose
thoughts are not turned toward

satin suits.
Wool backed satin has certainly
made a hit. The heavier weight has
been worn all winter, and now the
lighter weaves are all the rage this

Hunts a Year for a Penny

For a year special auditing COM
mittee OF the American Statistical Asso
citation has been searching for l cent
which is missing from its treasury.
DR.. Edgar M. Hartwell, chief of the
bureau of statistics for the city Of Bos-
ton, told Chairman Frederick L. Hof-
man at a recent session at the Planters
hotel that though he had searched the
records for FIVE years back he had been
unable to find the exact point at which
/ cent disappeared from the books.
He requested a new auditing committee
be appointed. The new committee will
continue the search until the penny is
found

countants in the United States. S. N.

Senator Miles POindeSter

By the prompt and almost unani-
nous vote Of the Republican members
of the legislature the Hon. Miles Poin-
dexter was elected United States sena-
tor at Olympia on Tuesday last. With
the exception Of Senator Ruth OF
Thurston county. who purposely alb
scented himself, and thereby earned the
contempt of his constituents, who de-
clared Mr.. Poindexter to be their
choice at the ballot box, all the stand
pat members of the Legislature carried
out the expressed wishes Of majority
of the Republican voters Of the state,
though some Of them made wry faces.
With this harmless expression of human
nature we have no fault to find. Il is
on a par with, and reminds US Of, the
remark OF Judge who had ruled against
a young practitioner in his court, at
which ruling the young disciple Of
Blackstone showed rather too much
heat. Young man. said the learned
Judge, when this court rules adversely
to you there are two remedies left,
either Of which you may adopt. You
have your right Of appeal from the
ruling, or you may go out behind the
house and cuss the court"
Mr.. Ruth had the right to resign
after his constituents expressed them
selves on the senatorial question, but
he had no right to disregard their
wishes, as he will learn some day. De-
clining to resign, the eminently proper
thing for him to have done was to vote
for Poindexter and then indulge in the
harmless pastime Of cussing the people,
who would probably have done nothing
worse than laugh at him.

State Aid Road Law Should Be Repealed

Coming on the heels Of the state
meeting of the good roads association
recently held at Walla Walla, which
also condemned the state aid road law,
the state meeting Of the county com
missioners, held at Vancouver this
week, put its stamp Of disapproval on
the same law. If anything was needed
to cause the lawmakers now in session
at Olympia to take notice, it would
seem this expression from the county
commissioners of the state would sup
ply that need.
After four years Of experience with
the law the county commissioners say
it is impracticable and expensive, and
should be promptly repealed in toto.
The county commissioners may not be
civil engineers, but they are practical
men and taxpayers, who have been
chosen for their fitness to look out for
taxpayers interests. With extremely
rare exceptions they have come fully
up to this requirement. Their delib-
crate declaration should have weight
with the lawmakers.
In his recent report on the condition
of the states highways, Mr.. Bowlby
is discreetly silent about reporting just
how much frst-class road the state has
for its two million dollars spent in the
last four years, and winds up the report
with request for $500, 900 to run his
department, and the abolition OF a most
useful road on which the state and
Chelan county Rave spent a large sum
of money, presumably that the Great
Northern may have the use of the right
OF way for its railroad up the Columbia
river.
II the Legislators are wise in their
day they will heed the expression of
the good roads meeting and the in
dorsement last Tuesday by the state
meeting Of the county commissioners.

REPEAL STATE AID ROAD LAW
Said County Commissioners in Their Their
State Meeting


State Meeting
The fourth annual convention Of the
County Commissioners Association OF
Washington met last Tuesday in Van
couver. Nineteen counties were rep
resented. A. NJ. Baker of Clarke
county was elected president, and J. c.
Hansen of Clallam secretary. The most
important action was the approval Of
the report OF the committee on legisla-
ton, A. L. Rutherford Of King and
William Lemay Of Yakima. They re-
ported after four years experience with
the state aid road law: I'VE find it
impracticable and entirely without merit
and recommend the unconditional re-
peal of the state aid feature Of the high
way law.
We recommend the levy Of one-half
mill for state roads,. to be constructed
and maintained by the state highway
commission.
we favor the passage Of wide-tire
law.
We recommend simpler way Of
acquiring right Of way for county pur-
poses.
We ask that power be given county
boards to condemn rock quarries and
gravel pits to be used in the construc-
ton of county roads.
We recommend the equitable sal
airy law, placing all county commission
ers on a fixed salary, in no county to
be less than $1,000 per year"
J. c. Lawrence, OF the state railroad
commission, said percentage OF county
road funds should be set aside for per-
manent good roads, constructed in a
system radiating out OF market centers.
He advocated the election of county
commissioners for six-year terms.
NJ. L. Hamilton OF King read re-
port tending to show the county can
build four times as much road for the
same money as the state.
A banquet for 100 was given the
visiting commissioners and friends on

That amount of money would build
two Panama canals. 1t would buy two
pairs Of shoes for every man, woman
and child Of this nation. 1t would buy
out the Pennsylvania railroad system,

deaths recorded in Chelan county, as
against 1876 births.
These figures, particularly those re-

states physicians are negligent in re-

do not report them at all. He points
