a TRAelcAL ROMANCE.

A CAT crouched on garden fence.
A maid at her window sat.
A bachelor sat in his hencoop
With gun for that old cat
The cat sprang for the chickens.
The bachelor shot at the cat.
The maid fell from the window
And landed on her rat
In his arms he lifted her gently.
She started to frown: but, no.
Just then cute Cupid arrived there
And drew back his strong bow.
The bachelor had missed the tomcat,
But Cupid was a sure shot.
He let his arrow go singing
And killed two birds at one shot.

FITS, sUNsTRokE, LIMsERNEcks
These three ailments when seen
among fowls are often confused, but
there Is difference.
In hts or epilepsy the eyeballs turn
back, lids open and close. mead Is
thrown back, bird walks zigzag, lies on
back and claws the air and flaps its
wings on ground or faints dead away.
While at times these spasms have
their cause in the brain. they mostly
come from intestinal worms.
There are few cases where fanciers
feed worm killer occasionally, such
as one tablespoonful Of turpentine or

quarts of mash

 try. She determined at the outset of her career to forego European study
 and to become a living demonstration
 of the truth that American girls of real talent need no longer go abroad for vocal training Mime. Lamperti endeavored several years ago to per ,suade Miss ShowaTter to study with her in Paris. "No one in Italy can sing the Madame Butterfly music so
 beautifully as you sing it." she told the young American girl. "Very we'll" responded Miss Showalter, Out when come to Italy 1t win be as an American prima donna visiting Italy mot as student seeking recogni- fion." Miss Showalter possesses a repertoire of over twenty operas and has won fame throughout the country. not alone in opera, but also as soloist with the Damrosch Symphony Or chestfa.

Those women who find collaboration in attending the trial of divorce ac- tions in the local courts must in fu- ture find some other form of recrea- tion. Since the courts resumed the hearing of this class of litigation. on the first of the month, the attendance of women visitors has noticeably in creased. In some of the parts of the court. the benches have been so crowded that little room was left for witnesses. All of the women curios- ity seekers as a rule were well dressed and had no personal acquaintance with the principals at law Invariably the cases they picked out for attendance were those which promised evidence of the most prurient kind. Every un- savory detail commanded their rapt attention. To all intents and purposes the principals might have been the stars in a moving drama, the witt nesses their fellow players, and the ogglers in the benches the audience Annoyed by the unhealthy interest displayed by the women in these trials, two of the Justices of the Supreme Court this week ordered them elected and permanently kept out in future. Their protest that they had a right to attend the trials excited the wrath of the judges and several of the in- surgents came near being fined for contempt. One of the Justices sug- gested that it would be more becom- ing of them to stay at home and look after their babies or if they. had no babies to spend their time in the park feeding the squirrels

HERALD IN NEW HOME
fullmah's Pioneer Printing Estab-
liShment Better Able Than Ever To
Handle All Kinds of Printing.

The Pullman Herald is this week
issued in its new home, next door
to the postoflice, and to say that it is
proud of its new quarters is stating 1t
mildly. While large amount of
time was taken to move the heavy
machinery of the plant and a goodly
amount of trouble accustomed, the
change was well worth while and the
Pullman Herald is now the most up
to-date and ideally located printing
establishment in the Palouse coun-
try. The building is steam heated
and well arranged, and is so con-
structed as to afford ample light. one
OF the foremost requisites of a print
ing office. We invite all our friends
to inspect our new quarters and be-
come acquainted with the mysteries
of the printing business. We are in
position to handle your job print
ing and pamphlet and book work
with promptness and dispatch and
guarantee satisfaction in every pro-
duct of the office.

WET FORCES SCORE KNOCKOUT
House of -, .,GH"tatives Passes
Resolution to Take no Action on
Local Option Laws.

Olympia, Wash, Jan. 11.--Pas-
sage of any liquor legislation at this
session of the legislature was block
ed today by the adoption by the low
er house of a resolution to take no
action on the local option laws.
This was the first test of wet and
dry strength in the house. With
two absent, the vets showed So votes
to the AZ of the dries.
The barring of all liquor legisla-
ton at this session was discussed
about the Hobbies last night. The
drys were caught mapping, however,
and had no plan of organization
while Speaker Howard d. Taylors'
hackers moved like a well-oiled ma
chine
Representative ]. E. Campbell of
Snohomish was chosen to introduce
the resolution. 1t invoked an in
slant storm of protest. II. R. Blu
chanan of King, Lorenzo c. Dow of
Tacoma. and II. r. Spedden of Stew
ems were on their feet in an instant,
owing that the motion be laid on
the table. Roll call was demanded
and the motion lost So to Al.
When it was seen that the vets
were in a clear majority every dila-
tory motion was attempted by those
who wish to see a county unit option
law passed at this session. Motions
to refer to the committee on public
morals, to postpone consideratio on,
and to take a recess were decided
lost by the speaker after viva-voce
votes
An attempt was made to appeal
from the decision of the chair, but
when the drys learned this would
take a two-thirds vote the request
was withdrawn.
Can Not Even Reconsider.
In the final vote on the adoption Of
the resolution Christensen of Seat
tie, one of the dry supporters, chang
ed his vote to aye for the purpose
of being able to obtain a reconsid-
Grafton later in the session, when
the dry forces might be better or
ganiZed. His object was defeated,
however, for Representative Camp
bell Immediately moved the recon-
cidara tion of his own motion and
the recommendation was decided by
strict wet and dry vote of 50 to AZ.
Speaker Taylor imm ediately an
| nounced that as the bill had been
reconsidered it would be impossible
to take 1t up at any time during the
session.
