To Extract Bullets

The condition of Bob Boyd, the man who was shot by Pete Corkell in the Turf saloon a week ago, con tinues to improve, and the bullets in the wounds in the leg and in the chest, which have been located by K ray pictures, will be removed this morning. To have removed them sooner, when the patient was recov- ering from the shock of the wounds and was welk from the loss of blood, would have jeopardized his chances of recovery.

NEW BOOK PUBLISHED
CONCERNING VALLEY
Northern Pacific Has an Illus
trated Publication Which Has
Much Merit

Yakima Valley, Washington" is
IN title Of a new piece OF boosting
literature just issued by the Northern
Pacific railway and which Is one of
IT, best of its kind that has been is
sued regarding. this section of the
state. The booklet, which is about s
by 10 inches in size, contains some so
pages, is .profusely illustrated, touches
upon all the subjects which could in
any way interest the person consider
ing removal to the west to a horti-
cultural or an agricultural district.
The illustrations show city and coun-
try life, giving an adequate idea of the
character of the towns, of the or
chards and fields, the irrigation works,
the stock and dnirying interests, etc.
The subject matter fully explains the
illustrations and covers the story of
the valley and points to some extent
to what the future may be expected to
reveal. A very excellent feature is n
map of the Yakima basin, showing
railroads and rivers. lands irrigated
either by government or private
projects and also the reclalna alton
reservoirs and the proposed reclama-
ton projects. In the selection of the
cover design for the publication an
unusual degree of common sense was
expended, a valley view, extending
over both front and back pages, being
used in preference TO the more popu-
lar idea, usually prepared by some
easterner who never saw a western
orchard in an irrigation district and
who attempted TO show the hop field
and the orchard, the sheep and cattle
interests, the palatial home, the work
team and the family automobile, the
snow-clad hills and the alfalfa acres
a nf nj
ne imagined it, in a few inches of
space, with red apple showing any,
where or everywhere. The Northern
Pacific has. done well and got out a
meritorious book. There is much in
the book which is general in char
acter regarding the valley at large and
the following quotation or two will
indicate the character of the writing:
twenty-five years ago the Yakima
valley, in eastern Washington, was,
virtually, unknown except to those
resident in the extreme North Pacific
coast country. Today it is one of the
best known valleys in the entire
United States and it is well and favor
ably known in many of the foreign
countries.
What has caused the change? One
word expresses it. and that word and
what 1t represents in it's entirety, is
also responsible for much of the ire
mendous development of the west in
general in the last quarter century.
That word is irrigation.
Nowhere in the wide west has
there been more consistent and intel
llgent exploitation of irrigation than
in Yakima valley. The reason for this
is>in the perfect conditions of water,
soil and climate supplied by benefi-
cent Providence, and the application
of brains, common sense and scientific
methods of farming"

The Why OF Baseball

There must be special qualities il
a game that can take and keep such
a hold on millions of hard hea ded
healthy Americans, from boys to earn
est old men. What are these quail
ties? Here is an attempt to define
them:
81. Efficiency. No other specta-
Gle shows the human being to sucn
advantage on the side of efficiency
If polo be mentioned to controvert
this, it certainly cannot compare in
tl.s> next three advantages to be
m ltioned. and the inferiority of the
circus the .astute reader can figure
out also from what follows:
". Visibility. A person who un-
derstands the game sees almost every
play perfectly. He sees the delivery
by the pitcher, the preparation and
swing of the batter, the ball dashins
away, the rush. grasp and recovery
of the infielder, the race of the run.

baseman, and is ready to dispute will

of second after the runner. The
average fan can see baseball game

most intense moment in the fifth Sc,

might set an idea of the intensity OF
interest that pertains to a ball game
at almost any time in any one of the
nine innings.
"A. The democratic BACKGROUND
The interest of watching the experts
is inseparable from the fact that al.
most every boy in the United States
is brought up to play the game itself
One sometimes hears 1t said that
watching the game is less desirable

Quiet Hour for Women

The recommen dation of a learned
professor recently that women tako
an hour off daily for absolute respose
has been been subjected to almost AZ
many shades of newspaper interpre-
tation and newspaper comment az
there are shades Of individual opin-
ion among newspaper writer's and ed
itors. Were the professor called up
on to read all Of them he would
probably find it very difficult to rec
oncile what he intended to say with
what they say he said. The general
belief expressed. however, seems to
agree on the point that he meant to
advise women to go off somewhere
every working day and lie down for
at least one hour. He probably did
not mean to be so understood, but
whether he did or mot. 1t seems to be
the common understanding even at
this late day that the only way to
obtain rest is to go off somewhere
and lie down. This belief has special
reference to women. There seems to
be widespread disbelief in their abil-
ity to put their cares aside in any
other way. The notion seems to be
that the only thing for women to do
when they seem to be pressed too
closely by responsibilities and troubles
is to lie down.
1t is not for us tosay positively
lust what the professor intended to
say, but what we understand about
the matter is that it would probably
b a good idea for women to take
an hour daily for the purpose Of
quiet thinking. They need not lie
down to do this. They can do it
standing or walking; perhaps they
will be able to do it more comforta-
bly, sitting. The main thing is that
they should make it an hour of med
itation. an hour in which they should
strive to rise out of and above the
little cares and crosses and mean
nesses Of the world, and into the re-
gion of unselfishness, charity and
kindness. An hour given fairly to
daily would be well spent, indeed, and
doubtless 1t could be spent no more
prohtably by women than by men,

Moving Time

Fathers acting half-demented. and
the atmosphere is blue;
Mother wrings her hands in terror,
and, alas, she's weeping, tool
All of us have lost our tempers. and
we care not what we say,
And the house is hurry bury, for
With US it's moving day.
Fathers hands are cut and bleeding,
for he broke the looking-glass.
When two men with boxes met him in
the hall and tried to pass.
ana the dining chairs are battered,
at which father had to swear,
While the photograph and records
have been wrecked beyond repair.
TT-ere is SCOT upon the bedding, and
the rugs are streaked with CRIME
And the clocks so badly battered we
have lost all track of time.
Mothers china took a tumble from
the wagon to the street,
And the words that father uttered are
too horrid to repeatl
Mother stops her ears whenever she
imagines there's a crash:
Father smiles and grimly mutters:
one more mirror gone to smash =
When they carried out the bookcase
something else got in the way
And the wreck was something awful,
so l heard the movers say!
They have piled the stoves and tables
In heap out on the lawn;
When they loaded up the sideboard
it was found the legs were gone.
Mothers paintings, which she carried
10 the moving-van with care,
Were tossed in with careless com
ment on the packing boxes there.
Fathers limping, for somebody drop
ped at flatiron on his toe;
Mothers face betokens sorrow. and
her heart is filled with woe.
But We hope when we get loaded,
we'll not look about and find
That we've left the grand piano and
a dozen things behind

GIVES HISTORY
| OF FINGER RINGS
1t Was an Emblem of Authority in
the Ancient Times

There is nothing with which
strange customs and superstitions and
true and legendary associations have
been more closely associated than the
ring which ornaments the hand 1t
seems impossible to ascertain where
rings first began to be worn, but there
is mention of them in the Oldest man
uscripts that have been found, and
some have also been dug up, evidently
belonging to an age of which We
know but little, says the New York
American.
In ancient times some rings were
supposed to be wonder workers, hay-
ing tie power to work great miracles
and having slaves who would do the
bidding of any who possessed such
rings. The jewellers of ancient Ath-
ems went further than this, however.
and made rings to order, which they
promised to endow with whatever
charm the buyer demanded. They
must have profited largely by the
credulity of their customers.
The customs of various countries in
relation to rings are interesting. Peo-
pie seemed to have been all agreed
that the ring was an emblem of power
or authority. AT the period when the
art Of writing was known to but very
Few 1T was the custom for men to
wear rings on which some distinguish
ing sign or badge was engraved, so
That the owner could use it as a seal,
and thus give proof of authenticity of
letters and other documents.
We read in the Bible of Pharaoh
taking Off the ring from his own har d
and placing it upon Joseph's hand,
When the latter was made prime
minister of Egypt A ring was given
to Haman by King Ahasuerus, as a
sign of of his authority, for extermir-
ating the Jews; and when, on the plea
of Mordecai, the royal decree was re-
voked, Haman was compelled to give
the ring to Mordecai, who sealed with
it the royal letters which announced
the good news to his people.
| The ring of the Fisherman is worn
by the pope, and all briefs which he
issues are attested by it's signet On
the death of the pope his ring is brok-

/ Finger rings were not used in an
cient Babylonia and Assyria The sig-
net took the form of a cylinder, cut
from crystal or hard stone and per-
forated from end to end. The rings
which have been found in ancient
Egyptian tombs are OF gold. silver,

All day as quiet as mouse.

But when the working hours are past,
And when ! hope the day is dead.
And though the night is earned at
