died and was laid out corpse. His
servants, sitting around the bed, griev-
ed heartily for the loss of so good a
master and, as grief is thirsty, drank
as heartily at the same time. One of
them, becoming more befuddled than
the rest, then addressed his compan-
ions thus: Our master when alive
was fond of his glass; Let us out of
gratitude, then, give him one now he
is dead" Assent was given The head
Of the dead painter was raised up and
some wine poured down or spilled
about, the fragrance or spirit of which
caused Beck to open his eyes, upon
which the servant. who, being drunk.
half forgetting his master was dead.
forced down the remainder of the
glass. The painter gradually revived
and thus escaped living interment.

NURSES ON STRIKE
Some Have Been Getting Mail Matter
Not Proper, Says Training Head

Walla Walla.-Seven nurses of the
Walla Walla hospital training school
walked out announcing they were dis
satisfied with the management of the
institution.
1t was later claimed by the hospital,
however, that an investigation was
under way in the hospitals training
school, over the alleged receipt by the
young nurses Of certain mail matter
of improper character. The investi-
cation had not been completed.
Mrs. Barry stated that had the girls
remained, they would have been dis
charged, if they had been found guilty.
AS it is, the matter will probably end
where it is, and the young women will
not be permitted to return to the
school, even if they DESIRE.
