When The Great Carnegie Made A
Serious and Fatal Mistake

After a lifetime of devotion last
ing nearly two days | won her. She
promised to marry me. / immedi-
ately proposed that we go away and
live on an island in the middle of
the Pacific ocean. She consented,
but an unforeseen circumstance
arose to prevent it-she had to stay
after school in consequence of not
having her arithmetic lesson.
Your Pittsburgh stenograph n
has blue eyes and brown hair, you
say. That shows you are no Judge
of beautiful women. Blue eyes are
all right for Persian kitten, but a
woman should have black eyes. You
may know lot about the tariff and
steel rails, but you have got beyond
yonr depth this time. lie you could
have seen Her standing at the black
board with her two braids hanging
down, her toes slightly turned in
and her SSH tied in wide bow at
the back, you never would haye
made your present mistake, mis-
take that probably will destroy your
reputation for canniness and open
the eyes of the public to the hollow
pretension on which your credit for
wisdom rests.
Her name was Katie. Her other
name doesn't matter-she has
changed it, | believe. The tragedy
in our lives came when | gaze her a
bull pup. AS he grew older he de-
veioped a playful disposition and
took her fathers Sunday trousers
out in vacant lot one day and
played they were another pup. After
that GOODNESS sprang up between
Us. She turned UP her nose at me
one day when she passed me in line,
/ and the next day sent pack my
notes. But while the past is dead
her image. repeat, still lives in my
heart and she always will be to me
the most beautiful woman in tine
world. And | must say, Mr., Carne
gle, that Your picking out for thai

saw before is conclusive proof t.
me that you never went to school al

circus, the Walla Walla Bulletin has
the following to say:
The weekly luncheon of the Conn

vitation to the people of Walla Walla

cial association; Jack Keefe, secre-
tary; President Thompson, of the
Pendleton National bank; Lee Cohen,
7. c. Taylor.
Exalted Ruler William Metz of the
Walla Walla lodge, responded to the
invitation, assuring the visitors that
Walla Walla would be we'll represent
ed and that the people of the Oregon
town would know they had been there
| after the circus is over. The issist-
ance given Walla Walla in many of
her undertakings by the Pendleton
Elks was dwelt upon by Mr.. Metz
who expressed the belief that Walla
Walla is under obligation to the Pen
dleton clubmen, the more so since
the Fourth of July celebration there
was called off to permit of Walla
Walla entertaining on that day.
President Robinson made big hit
when, in serious tone he expressed
his appreciation of the friendly feel
ing now existing between the two
communities But" he added, "I
