the governor as follows:

Wannamaker as an Advertiser

John Wannamaker of New York and
Philadelphia ! recently celebrated the
close of his half century in business.
He is reported to have said that the first
day he was in business for himself the
store took Impact, and the next day
he spent.'$24 in newspaper advertising.
The great merchant has adhered to this
plan OF liberal advertising all his life,
using the columns of the press not now
and then, but every day; and that to
persistent advertising his success is
mainly due.-Courier-Journal.

PfSHAsTiN CORRESPONDENCE

Lon Owens is on the verge of NOV
ing to his homestead, where his modern
six room dwelling is almost completed.
Rev. c. N. Replogle, pastor oil
First Friend Church of Everett, is con-
structing a modern home on his five
acre ranch near the large brick school.
Mr.. Hobson, who owns 100 acres
across the river from the town OF Pc
shastin, has moved up from Wenatchee
and is living in his new home which is
almost completed. They set five acres
to trees and are progressing nicely with
their work Of improvement.
Peshastin enjoyed a good soaking
rain than week ago, and now it is here
again. Hurrah for the weatherman
who foretold it! Hope he will do it
some more. Moisture was little slack
through the winter and we are glad to
have it come now during the spring.
Indications are very favorable for a
growing season, good crops and boun-
tiful harvest.
The Peshastin Central school district
No. "a closed the school year Thurs
day May II. A large crowd of patrons
and friends were entertained by the
usual last day exercises of songs, reci-
tations etc., after which all partook OF
the sumptious dinner prepared by the
community. The two tables each 80
feet long were barely sufficient for the
crowd and were loaded with good
things to eat. Looking back over the
school year we regard it as very sue
cessful one. The efficient and pro-
ficient work of E. L. Nichols Principal,
assisted by Miss Markham, his cooper
ating assistant, obtained such desirable
results that they both have been en-
ployed for another year. The! neigh
boring district is uniting with district
No. "a in a Union High school, which
will make it necessary to hire an inter-
mediate teacher. 1t is the purpose oil
the Peshastin Central school district
No. "a in the future to uphold the
same high standard of education, and
secure the same good results for which
this district is noted.

Woman's Love

Credited to the late Robert G.
Ingersoll: It is because women are so
much better than men that their faults
are considered greater. The one thing
in the world that is constant, the one
peak that rises above all clouds, the one
window in which the light forever burns,
the one star which darkness cannot
gu ench is woman's love. 1t rises to
the greatest heights. 1t forgives the
most cruel injuries. Neither GOODNESS
nor neglect, harshness nor cruelty can
extinguish it. This is the real love
that subdues the earth, the love that
has wrought all the miracles Of art, that
gives US music all the way from the
cradle song to the grand closing sym
phony that bears the soul away on wings
of fire-a love that is greater than power,
sweeter than life and stronger than
death.

Spring

With doors opened, windows raised,
flowers blooming, trees budding, birds
singing, bees humming, ROSTERS crow
ing, hens laying, bugs flying, straw hats
visible. perspiration flowing, gloveless
arms, short sleeves, bareheaded girls,
moonlight nights, jowl and greens, let
tuce and onions, gardens plowed, pota-
toes planted, coatless men, dainty slip
pers, pretty hose and trim ankles
a restless desire in woman's breast for
new clothes-make US think that spring
has truly come, but bewarel-things
are not always what they seem.

Mules, much abused and neglected
animals, are not generally understood
by farmers. A mule in the first place
must be OF good stock. not an off
spring OF some scrubby mare, but
mare with good breeding qualities.
writes Ed Mclaughlin in the Rural
New Yorker. A mule of the NAM
moth stock is supposed to be the best
mule under all conditions. Mules are
cheaper than colts, for the service fee
is not generally as high Many peo-
pie make mistake in working the
mare too soon after foaling. Never
work a mare under ten days, then she
can do light work. but the mule must
be left in the barn.

long as the mare is warm. After a
mule is two or three weeks old turn
