NO ROMANCE HERE.

He stood amid the blaze and splen-
dor of his magnificent mansion and
in his hand he held the portrait Of
a beautiful woman. His face was
pale and haggard and his lips moved
convulsively. What was this mys-
terry? Was this the picture of his
departed wife? No. Was it the por-
trait of his dead but dearly remem-
bered daughter? No. What, then,
was the cause of his haggard face ?
Well might we ask. Was it not the
same portrait that two minutes ago
had fallen from its nail and raised
a lump as big as a hens egg on his
head? 1t was.

drugs, but with a reinforcement Of
digestive agents, such as are naturally
at work in the stomach.
People with weak stomachs should
take a little Dlapepsin occasionally,
and there will be no more Indigestion,
no feeling like a lump OF lead in the
stomach, no heartburn, sour risings.

WALLA WALLA STAYS
IN BASEBALL LEAGUE

Walla Walla will not withdraw from
the Blue Mountain league n enter
one including North Yakima, Pasco,
Kennewick and Toppenish, according
to an announcement made by Manager
August Bade of the Garden City team.
DISPATCHES from North Yakima in
Portland papers have stated that Wal
la Walla showed NJ hesitation in for
feiting the 800 put up in the Blue
Mountain league in order to have a
club in the new Washington league,
but Babe has declared emphatically
that he will not go back on the Ore
gon towns. President Frazier of the
Blue Mountain league states hat he
has received no notification one way
or the other and does not think that
Babe at any time considered such a
proposition.
It is true that Walla Walla and
North Yakima will play baseball
March 22, but that has nothing TO do
with any league. for the Walla Walla
team will simply be with the Walla
Walla excursion that is to accompany
the first train over the North Coast
railway.

Stroyed by fire He may have been

All these and many other things are

why a man often finds it hard to smile,
But when a man has apparently
been through some one or more of
these things, as he must within some
wears of his life, and when he breaks
into a quick smile, even If he relapses
into mis- ordinary expression of gloom,
we must admire him. II shows that
there is courage behind him.
Such man is not the kind that grns
like a chessy cat at everything that
comes along. He is the sort of man
who carries with him the sobriety of
experience, but who nevertheless man
ages to smile when smile is wanted.
And people who meet such a man,
and look upon his smile, recognizing it
for what it is, are cheered and heart
ened thereby, and the owner of it may
know, if he don't, that his smile, saved
from the wreck of hopes, has done it's
part to bring sunshine into this dreary
world of ours.-Galveston News.
