"All we have to do is to look

CARS" laughed the girl behind the
counter.
You see, there's a small army or
'em employed in the big hotels or
Tacoma, and the Times man was
asking the why's and wherefores.
The attractive girl with hair

But 1t requires something more
than good looks and pleasant ways
to be a successful girl tobacconist.
Its nice work, and we have

fided one of them, "but girl

The Absolute Life
BY JOHN COPLEY

I've tackled new fads as fast they came;
I've dipped into all manner of cults.
But when they were sifted all were tho same,
This the truth there we're never results
took up New Thought, but got ser think,
tried ev'ry one out my wife;
I've spoiled reams of paper, wasted good ink
Now it's me for the Absolute Life!
II
o, fell for schemes that seemed like dream,
I went at EN- all with RELISH
Indeed, they all promised to be the cream,
And things that will not embelsh
Success is your BRAIN, the Cultist would say,
There's no need of this worry and Strife
But I've passed em up since that happy day
That learned of this Absolute Life!
III
If of time in their fleeing flight
Unearth any dope that is stronger,
Pray rock me to sleep and bid me good night,
l don't want to live any longer
I'm willing to fight, I'm willing to slave,
I've learned how to handle spoon, fork and knife;
But fear neer could learn to behave
Should adopt the Absolute Life

BACK DOOR PESTS

The household pests we are dis
cussing today are the neighbors
who come to the back door. They
come in all hours of the day and
night and never think of knock
ing. They are most likely to ar
rive when you're in the kitchen
in your kimono ironing handker-
chiefs. You have left your switch
upstairs and your hair is a fright.
Often they come in when you're
taking a bath. You hear footsteps
below and you think burglars are
in the house. You slip on some
thing generally the soap) and
you hear a voice: Its only me. "
This is annoying and ingram
NAUTICAL. To get rid of this pest,
keep the back door locked.
Do you know what alparagatas
are? No? Well, they're sandals
made of jute and hemp and poor
folks in Spain wear EN-.

Have no connection with pair
agarters, prevalent in the United
states.

size with a fall Of two inches. The
rapid flow through the culvert with
greater fall will keep the culvert
clean. In one where the flow is slug
gish, deposits will form and soon will
choke the flow. Be sure to leave am
pie outlet so the water can move
freely after passing through the Gull
vert.
In grading to make fill do not al
low any weeds or sod to get into the
roadway. These will decay and make
all kinds of trouble. 1t is much bet
ter to keep them out in the first in
stance.
If, in making the fill, the material
must be moved six hundred feet or
less, 1t will be advantageous to do
this with scrapers-vheel type pre-
ferred. But If the material must be
moved more than that 1t will be
cheaper to put 1t upon wagons. Any
filling of this nature should be made
early in the spring. preferably as soon
as the frost is out of the ground. SO
1t will have ample time to compact
and settle by the summer rains and
the traffic. By proper handling dur
ing the summer season, fill sew
eral feet deep can be put in shape
for the road. A fill Of this kind should
be dragged with split log drag or
its equivalent after rains in order to
keep the fills smooth and rounded SO
the water will run off quickly. The

Further Indictment Of the Destructive Rat

the pest is becoming serious menace
to game preservers. On one large
game farm in England from which 1
have got eggs for several years past
I am told that the rats by reason of
their increased numbers are now
much more to be dreaded than foxes
and weasels. Il
Many gamekeepers are suffering
from the same experience and one
tells me that the rats not only rob
the nests but destroy the sitting birds
without fear The fecundity of the
rat necessitates some kind of united
war being waged against it. but 1t has

ed. RI
When the writer was attending the
great International Meeting of Road
Engineers in Paris, 1908, one of the
delegates asked an eminent French
engineer how soon after the road was
built he commenced to make repairs.
His answer was: 1.-THE next day."
II any place "a stitch in time saves
nine" 1t certainly will do SO on the
highway The splendid roads Of
Europe are looked after by an attend
ant who goes over them every week,
and as soon as break appears, the
