BAR TOBACCO USING BEAux
Two Hundred Washington Girls Set Out to Reform Young Men of
 Their Acquaintance.

Moved by the vivid pictures of the evils of the tobacco habit, as drawn by James J. Jeffreys of the Anti Cigarette league, 200 young women members of a Washington Christian Endeayor society have pledged them. selves to forswear the society of all young men who use tobacco. MT. Jeffreys assailed tobacco because of it's effect upon the morals, mentality and physique offthose who use it.
 My dear girls" he said. "it is for you and others like you to reform the young men who think it manly to use this weed. You can do more than I to fight this evil and call upon you to do it. I ask you to search among your friends and when you find a young man who uses the weed make him cut It out or cut his acquain- tance."
 Following his address 200 girls agreed that until their young men friends resign themselves to the to- baccoless life they shall be boycotted socially.

Soap.


 Were I soap-maker," said a girl in red bathing suit. q should give away with every cake of soap a soap dish like those at the Hotel Surf-a soap-dish that doesn't drain.
 The right kind of soap dish has a perforated plate on which the soap is laid. This plate drains of the water into bowl below. and the soap dries at once. But the Surf hotel soap dishes have no drain plates; in them your soap lies always in little pool, and, when you go to use 1t, about a quarter inch of 1t comes of on your hands in the shape of slime
 The world is full of these non draining soap dishes. I have tested them. have proved by actual test that they waste 50 per cent. of the soap. Hence. were soap-maker. I'd give them away to my patrons.
 ''The mustard maker, you know, grows rich out of the mustard people leave on the edge of their plates. By supplying all his patrons with non draining soap dishes. the soap-maker would at once have to double his plant"

WEDDED FOR ONE YEA, ONLY
People of ElfeI District in Germany Arrange Trial Marriages at
 Annual Fairs.

The ancient custom of holding fairs .or selecting brides and bridegrooms on trial still exists in some villages of he Eifel district of Germany. On the day of the fair the young men and women who have been noti- aed stand in groups on adjacent nil locks. their names being inscribed on roll in the possession of the fair officials, who sit round table between he groups. The ages of the young men are stated on the roll. but not those of the girls.
 Males are then called forward by name in the order of their ages, the oldest coming first. and one of the girls is called to meet him; If neither objects the young woman is presented with wedding ring. and the couple are declared duly welded for year on approval.
 At the end of the year they may separate and each is free to marry again; or If they are not quite sure whether they will be happy they can arrange to separate for day or two before the next fair, and then be welded again for another year. If a  couple remain together over the year the marriage becomes binding for life. or if any family Is born the union is also valid for life
 If maiden refuses the first man she is supposed to marry the next offered to her; but this rule is not rigidly enforced now. though formerly the names of candidates were taken haphazard by the head man of the community. who did not put up vita nonsense about maidenly coyness.
 Nowadays 1t Is generally arranged beforehand to call together only those couples who have been counting The system has worked with good results for centuries and will probably last some while yet, until the farming dis tricts become crowded with factories and towns.-Tit-Bits.

The Tide at Mount St. Michel.

At five in the afternoon people gather on the causeway that connects this ;slet with the French coast. ss watch the coming of the tide. one of the sights of the world. As far. as the; eye can reach stretches the gray sand, silent, empty. Seven miles and a half lie between the ocean and the rock Presently strange murmur per vades the air: 1t seems to come from nowhere. and yet to be everywhere. And then far on the horizon lifts line of white. Every moment it draws nearer. and the sound in the air swe,ls louder; and then with astonishing speed up the line of crested sea. and in g moment. where 1t reaches the sands. there is but a space of swirling water. And on the wave ride in the fishing boats that have gone out to sea on the tide at dawn Many a tragedy has been caused by the swift thrush of this true tidal wave. for, save along narrow paths, the bottom of this vast. strange bay Is but quick sand. and after the tide has once turned and the sound of its coming is heard. no man can hope to escape its reach unless he be close indeed to the mount or the shores of the main. land.-Trayel Magazine.

THE REPUBLICANS
 ELECT MAJORITY
 COUNTY OFFICES

Election day in Williams passed off unusually quiet, but not with out lot of interest bsing mani fested on both sides. The adher- ents of both parties worked hard in the interest of their respective can didates, but nothing illegal or even improper was done by either side.
 People from the county for many miles around came in and cast their votes in our first state cleo tion, and the first state election in the United States under the Ari zona plan, where so many officers were elected, this being the first election under this plan where both United States senators were elected.
 The results of course were not very satisfactory to some of the candidates. principally the demo- cratic ones, and some of them were last seen going on bee line for Salt Creek.
 The republicans elected most of the county ticket and gave good majority for the state ticket.
 
 The town of Williams is to be congratulated on having been so successful in putting in their men We have two of the supervisors, one member of the legislature and clerk of the superior court.
 Our local socialist candidates. George Hammond and w A. Field, made very strenuous cam paien and their efforts were re- warded with large vote, number ing six in this precinct.
 The fight is now over and the smoke of battle has cleared away. and we are now all friends trying to explain to each other how it happened.
