And yet again. behold the muck-rak-
err. He speaketh in loud voice and
sayeth, 10, the straw showeth the
trend of the wind" Thereafter he Gre
ateth a man of straw and falleth upon
him and slayeth him with the edge
Of the sword yea, even with the muck
rake doth he smite him unto the death.
Yet a little while and he poureth forth
his soul in boastfulness; he vaunteth
himself and crieth in the streets; he
frotheth at the mouth and scattereth
the froth abroad upon the hot breath
Of his untoward mouthings, saying,
Behold, this shall hold We for quite
some time" Whereupon he springeth
a chestnut but omitteth the kernel;
yea, verify, and he stitch as 1t were
upon the burr thereof. Immediately
he riseth up and calleth his neighbor
naughty name and his soul sinketh
into the slough of despond. Who shall
measure the soul of a muck-rakers?
Verify, it is comparable to grain of
mustard seed even as a sucking child
to the massed armies of the world.

Our Senators in New Roles.

(Snohomish County Tribune.)
Comical are the actions of some of
the staid senators at Washington who
have for years held their seats through
control of legislatures, and are now
endeavoring to give life-like imita
ton of men with whole-souled inter.
est in the general good of the "peepul."
Verify, the Americans won great vic
tory when they provided for direct
election of senator's Early though it u.s.
it is easily discernible that the senate
has fundamentally changed from in
difference to solicitude for the rights
of the common people.
Say, Quite Difference!

If an editor makes a mistake he has
to apologize for it, but if a doctor
makes a mistake he buries it. If the
editor makes one there is a law suit,
swearing and the smell of sulphur, but
If the doctor makes one there is fu-
neral, cut flowers and the smell OF
varnish. A doctor can use word a
yard long without knowing what 1t
means, but If the editor uses one he
has to spell it. If doctor goes to see
another mans wife, he charges for the
visit, but if an editor goes to see an
other mans wife he gets charge OF
buckshot. When doctor gets drunk,
it's a case of overcome by heat" and
If he dies, it's heart trouble. When an
editor gets drunk it's case of too
much booze, and If he dies it's a case
Of delirium tremens.
Any old college can make doctor
but you can't make an editor-he has
to be born.

An inquest was held the other day,

Sarah Mary Kearley, spinster, aged
sixty-four, said the remains which
were found in bed were those of Ellen

of age and who had lived with witness

A doctor said the skeleton was found

causes.

friends a young man ever had, the
hope of the Barclay family made a
rush for the railroad depot.
A year out of college, critic and au-

was striving hard to win the tutelary
plum of Harris college. It was a two
thousand dollars per year position,
with perquisites. In case he won it,
there would be a wedding, a family
removal, and he would feel settled for
life.
So far everything looked favorable
AdoIphus had appeared before the au-
gust college faculty and had read his
paper on Egyptian poetry. He had
made a hit. 1t seemed as If his posi-
ton was assured A few days later,
however, the president of Harris wrote
him to come down with something
bright and interesting, and give the
students sample of his erudition.

FED FOR 8 CENTS A MEAL.
Story of Negroes Work on Panama
Canal Told by Haskin.

The 5000 West Indian negroes who
have been working on the Panama canal
have had no occasion TO worry over the
high cost of living. The United States
has been furnis ing them rations for
several years at cents meal. As
these meals are equal in nutritive value
to the United States Army field ration, 1t
will be seen that they have been we'll
fed. even though the charges were so
moderate.
But the goose that laid the golden
egg Is about to die. Instead of getting
good wages they must now be sent
back to Jamaica, Barbados, Martinique
and the other islands of the West Indies,
where they will get wages only one
fourth as high as those they We're able
to command at Panama.
