OLD LOVES
PHOTO IS GALL

4 SEATTLE, Dec 8.-Just because she
was an old sweetheart of his, she sent
him one of her photographs.
In that nifty 1911 oblique way she
wrote something across the southwest
corner of said photograph to the effect
that there's nothing half so sweet in
life as loves young dream. ]. Elmer
Smith, recipient Of the photograph, is
married.
Maybe the sentiment which inspired
old sweetheart to mail the photograph
lulled ]. Elmer into a sense of secur-
| ity. Maybe j. Elmer pulled "bone-
head play, but the fact remains that
he battered home with the photograph.
So thereafter much rancor ensued.
The photograph OF old sweetheart
may have been chic and cute, but Mrs
Ivy Smith, ]. Elmer's wife, did not pro-
pose to run Feberuary to any pippin
in Portland; that is the town in which
resides the original of the photograph.
And then l went down town and
had a few drinks" ]. Elmer told Police
Judge John B. Gordon P Elmer was
reeking with remorse when he arrived
at the front door of his home Outside,
] Elmer told the court, stood an angry
brother-in-law, reinforced by three or
four husky young men whose manner
seemed to say, Lets shoot him at sun
rise"
J. Elmer deplOyed to the kitchen,
siezed a butcher knife and yelled de-
fiance. J. Elmer still held the ramparts
when Police Sergeant Lee Dagner
forced an Appomattox.

stream of gaudy splendor. This after

Already, it is reported, jealousy has
arisen between the various petty

their proper salutes or their right posi-
ton or preference at the kings re-

troubles after his majesty departs.

THE DAMAGE IN DETAIL.

near $1,000. The roof of the build
ing remained in such position as to
largely protect the stock, or the
damage would have been much
heavier. The losses in this case
are covered by tornado insurance.
Townsend Had Tornado Insurance.
The large frame building owned
and occupied by w. w. Townsend
on Mena street, was badly damaged.
The stock, however, is well pre-
served owing to the condition in
which the roof was left. This build
ing, together with Mr.. Townsend's
large warehouse next door to Ar
thurs store, which was completely
demolished, will aggregate loss
in the neighborhood Of $500. Mr..
Townsend has 81 900 tornado in
surance on the building and $4,000
on the stock.
S. |. Wood was another heavy
loser. His store building was blown
over, but much Of his stock escaped
injury. A small warehouse back OF
the store was blown away and all
the flour and feed in il exposed to
the rain. He estimates his stock
loss at $500 and his building at
81 200.
The building next door to Woods
and used by him for a feed and
flour sales room, was wrecked. The
loss is estimated at about S700.
The building on the corner of
Fourth street and Martin avenue,
owned by George Greer and occu-
pied by H. Guinn's blacksmith shop,
was damaged to the extent of $50.
Mr.. Quinn lost about 500 in dam
age to his tools, material and a
buggy which was in the shop.
Caught Reuben Harrison Home.
The front of the home of Reuben
Harrison, the blacksmith, and al
derman from the First ward, locat-
ed at 1908 Mena street. was blown
about twenty feet from its founda-
tinn. The rear was scarcely moved.
His smoke house was completely
blown down and the barn was bad
ly twisted. Mr.. Harrison estimates
his loss at about $500.
A two-room vacant house on Dali
las avenue, owned by Marion WILL
Jams, was taken from its founda-
ton. The damage is probably s25.
Narrow Escape for These.
Mrs. William Jett and four chill
dren, who live on Dallas avenue.
had a very narrow escape. Their
house has three rooms and the front
one, in which the family was at
the time of the storm, was torn
completely from the rest Of the

THEY WILL RATIFY RECIPROCITY
Canadian Legislators viii Endorse
New Trade Deal With the United
States-Majority Favor 1t.

Ottawa. Ont, April 1S.-A favorabls
report on the reciprocity agreement
