so. lie was In search OF cakes. crack :

Gyp loved as we'll as his master Jim
did He and Jim had often ate many
cakes and candies together,
Well, one day Gyp was all alone in
the house. excepting that he had the
company OF Growler, the mustiI. and
he thought it would be a good time
to 20 around and smell OF all the
bags and baskets and closets.
Now. Jim and his father and mother
had gone away in n hurry to catch the
excursion train. and they had left
many doors open, and SO. as Gyp
thought. 1t was really Il good time 10
see what there was in the house that
he would liko to eat.
He drst went into the pantry, but ali
the cupboard doors were shut, and the
box covers were on even and tight.
So he skipped UP the stairs, and
Grower came behind. IT was good
thing for Gyp that Grower did follow,
AS you Will see; for what lid Gyp do
in the very first closet they cntercd2

found there was nothing good to eat IN

Marriages Exceed Divorces

In the year 1910, says Wenatchee
paper, presumably after examining the
records, eighteen applications for di-
vorce were filed with County Clerk ].
L. Campbell. OF these twelve were
granted a decree, one was dismissed,
and five cases are pending.
In the county auditors Office there
have been issued 162 marriage licenses.
These figures show that for every di-
vorce applied for in Chelan county
there have been nine weddings. These
facts indicate degree Of marital har-
mony in this county far above that en-
joyed in most communities.

PREFERS LOG CABIN
General S. B. Buckner Paints an Enticing
Picture of Home Life

Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner, candi-
date for vice president of the United
States on the gold democratic ticket in
1896, and former governor of Kentucky,
now in his eighty-eighth year, says he
is happier than anybody in the world.
In Louisville, KY, where he was an
honorary guest at meeting of govern
ors last month, General Buckner said:
Il can't keep out of politics. l
guess it is my blood. I wish I could
have kept out of politics all my life,
and probably I would have been rich
man. But I am happier than anybody
in the world as it is. I came all the
way from Hart county, the best spot in
the world, and I am going back there
tomorrow, because I am homesick al
ready.
Il am living in the same log cabin
on my farm in old Hart county that l
was born in. That cabin is 103 years
old. My father built it and it is in as
good a state of preservation today as
any one could wish. I raise my own
tobacco; I have fine mint bed, and
my old dog General wags his tail every
time I walk into the front yard.
This is no ordinary log cabin. 1t
is all logs and good old red clay, and
every room has a great big fireplace
where, in the winter, we roast apples,
pop corn, broil game and make little
hot toddy.
There is good spring just outside
the door. The water just gushes from
the rocks, and it is cool and pure as
any water in the world. Along the
banks of the little stream that trickles
from the spring grows the finest mint
in the world. This water and this mint
when combined with little of Ken
tucky's best spirits, make the finest
mint julep in the world.
Young man, you can tell everybody
in the world I wouldn't give up this
home for the palace Of king. Multi
millionaires need never try to make me
an offer, because I would refuse all
their property for the log cabin and
that spring and that mint bed"

WASHINGTON COWS
B. II. Rawi Comments on the Dairy In
duStry of the State

Washington has bright future and
gives every promise of becoming an
important dairy and butter state" said
B. H. Rawl, chief of the dairy division
of the Bureau of Animal Industry of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, while in Spokane on the way to
San Francisco. He added:
The rich western grasses, the fine
alfalfa grown in the southern part of
the state and other excellent forage
crops, and the equable climate and
mild winters all contribute great natural
advantages for the production of dairy
animals.
The principal need of the dairymen
in Washington and, in fact turnout the
western country, is more education and
higher grade COWS. They are already
lettering the class of their stock and
the state agricultural colleges are in
structing the dairymen and the butter
makers in getting the best results.
"Dairymen are taught how to feed
and take care of their COWS and the
buttermakers are instructed in the san
itary handling of the milk and methods
to be used in getting the best butter
from the milk furnished to them by
dairymen and milk farmers.
Il believe there will soon be a
great growth in the butter industry in
the state of Washington, because the
opportunities are practically unlimited
and the people are taking hold of the
business in the right way. They
realize the importance of having high
grade stock, also the value of education
afforded by the agricultural and dairy
schools, and with this in view they will
succeed.
Il am more than surprised at what
I have seen Of the growth of the state
during the last 10 years, and l am
told that the development has been
rapid and the progress substantial in
all parts of the commonwealth. This
