Hon. Michael Devers.
Care r. E. Strahorn, the Pines:
Things looking blue for you. Your
ward needs immediate attention. Suf-
fragettes claim you went away be-
cause you were AFRAID to face the mu-
SIC, and are now raiding your hen
roost. Also danger of the new
81 100000 city hall being captured
by Swain Beatty, who stayed behind
for this especial purpose. You are
outlawed tor exposing yourself to the
communicating Influence of railroad
magnates and seductive wiles of pri-
vate car life. Advise your consulting
with your brother, Pat, who is re-
ported to be making great success of
politics at Pasco, and the city coun-
Gil know it. With above exceptions
farm is al right, and the first carload
of pigs is about ripe. The 9TH and 9Th
wards would be wild for you for may
or II you would come back modestly
in day coach by first train. Ans.
prepaid.

read:
Personal and confidential, =,
Very sorry to inform you that
your fall in the bath room while here
has occasioned a crack in the center
OF the house extending from the room
occupied by Mrs. Dorman in the SW
corner OF 3rd floor diagonally across
the building to the laundry in the
basement. Did not have the heart to
break the news to Mrs. Strahorn and
hope you will do so while she is with
you, as l will be expected to have
the house in perfect order when She
returns. Shall employ necessary
plumbers at 81 an hour and necessa-
~ masons, plasterers and carpenters,
blacksmiths and decorators at a lesser
rate per hour to fix up the house.
Pleas ans. prepaid as Mr.. Strahorn
took all the money with him.
Signed. EMMA,
"Housekeeper at the Pines"
1t took the entire party several
days to get down to earth on their
return. With difficulty they took up
the irrigation shovel, the closing .ex-
ercises OF THE college, the delayed
shipment of ripe pigs" the momen-
tuous affairs of the Commercial club,
an the round of common household
duties. all their work being softened
nd glorified by golden memories of
the ten perfect days spent with their
loyal pioneer friends, Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert E. Strahorn. in the most beau
t,fui home in the beautiful city o
Spokane.
