THEIR FIRST QUARREL.
1t was a lovely spnshiny day (in
fact up until that time the world had
not known rainy In the Garden OF
Eden.
Eve was crocheting six-by-eighi
inch dinner gown (see Agnes Warp's
THE Beginning Of Formality") when
Adam happened to pass the sewing
arbor.
1.-THE serpant wants to speak to
you, I believe" he remarked.
Eve was gone quite long while, SC
long. in fact, that Adam ate supper
without waiting for her. When she
returned he was stretched comforta-
bly, on the grass of the dining room,
full and half-dozing.
7 ooh, Adam! ADAM" cried Eve,
THE serpant has taught me the won
derfulest dance! 1t goes like this!
Get up and III show you!"
WHAT" cried Adam. "Me lean
around like t.'vitus after big sup,
per? Avaunt, woman!"
"Avaunt yourself!" ,retorted Eve
angrily. ''If you don't get up i'm.
mediately I'll never speak to you
again!"
And, to keep a short story down,
there ensued such a tremendous
scrap that they were both given the
gate for good.
And to.this day 1t is not known
how 1t came to be blamed on an apple.

An amendment to permit signatures

feasance In office.

what 1t Is expected. to accomplish for
the finance and comerce Of the coun-
try the comptroller says:
THE federal reserve act is designed
not only to cure weaknesses and de-
fects OF the currency system under
which we. have struggled, and some
times staggered, in the past, as we
have outgrown the conditions and
passed beyond the circumstances
which It was especially provided to
meet. brit to offer to the people Of this

to its beauty in May, when they are
in full bloom. Game is still plentiful
and the coyerts are still hunted with
hound and horse by gentlemen living
In the vicinity. The amount and kinds
OF game they may take, however, is
strictly limited by law, and fallow
deer and hen pheasants are protected
lat all times Of the year. The forest
Is a great resort Of nature lovers and
tourists, for birds abound there, and
almost every species Of butterfly ma
tive to the British Isles Is found in
the sunny opens and upon the heath
erlands.
The forest has about 1000 inhabi-
tants, and these vary from titled land
owners to gypsy families, Of which
there are about seventy roaming the
woodlands with their ponies and COW
cred wagons. There Is little agri-
culture, but the inhabitants make a
living by stripping oak bark, char
coalIburning, cutting gttirewoody and
raising ponies. donkeys, hogs and
geese, The ponies Of the new forest
are celebrated throughout England,
and are credited with aristocratic
descent from blooded stock taken
from the Spanish Armada. al race
meeting is held annually at Bfocken-
hurst, where the ponies are tested
and many OF them sold. ~
One spot always pointed out to Wis
itors is Rufus stone, which marks
the spot in a lonely glen, where the
Red King was shot down. His body
was found by q yoeman named Pur-,
kess and carried to Winchester In a
wood cart. The descendants Of Pur-
.kess are still living in the forest.

Contract Has Been Let for Two 64-FOOt
Additions to Present Buildings

From c. w. Wallace, who has Sc
cured the contract to do the excavat-
ing, we learn that the firm of Grant
Smith & Co. is engaged in building a
sixty-four foot extension at each end
of the Great Northern railway COM
pany's ice house in the east end
of town. The ice house to be en-
larged is already 40 feet wide and
about two hundred feet long. The
additions will almost. double the storage
capacity for ice. The ice stored in
the house located near the depot will
be used principally to supply ice for
the passenger train service.
Grant Smith & Co. also have con-
tract to enlarge the Wenatchee ice
house. The use of ice in fruit refrig-
Grating cars has increased with the
fruit industry. Until three years ago
the one house located near the depot
supplied all the ict needed.

1t VIII Go Hard With You If You Hunt
After the 18th

Leavenworth hunters or any others
in this state, will not be allowed to
hunt ducks, geese and other water
fowl after the 18th of this month, al
though the state law doesn't say the
season closed until the 1st of February.
There is now federal statute on the
subject, however, and he would be a
bold hunter indeed who would run the
risk OF getting in bad with any Of I'm
Gle Samueps men about this matter Of
ducks.
The federal law and the state law
do not agree as to the open season on
these fowl, for it is a statue Of this
state, and it is the general impression
among hunters that they can shoot
ducks and geese up to the first Of next
month. The federal law was passed
by the United States congress year
ago, and became effective last fall,
after the Washington state law said we
could hunt ducks from September 18th
to February lst. The law went into
effect on the 1st day of October, and
it says that hunters in the Evergreen
state and other Northwest common
wealths, cannot hunt ducks after Jan.
18th OF any year. And that means
that next fall you will have to wait two
weeks longer than you are accustomed
to waiting to brigg out your blunder-
buss" and "fowling stick"

A Dinner Party at Peshastn

Last Sunday it was the good fortune
of number of Leavenworth people to
meet at the hospitable home of MI.
and Mrs. H. L. Hart, with number
of Peshastin people, at an informal,
but just the same most highly en-
joyable dinner. To say anything less
would be doing Mrs Harris culinary
skill scant justice. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hart find pleasure and satisfaction in
having their friends, Who number all
that are so fortunate as to be ac-
quainted with them, meet at their
home and spend an afternoon in social
intercourse. They have infinite plea
sure in giving pleasure TO others, and
the hour and half spent around the
bountifully supplied board of Mr.. Hart
was indeed enjoyable, and all too
short, if one may give vent to his sell
fishness.
The home Of this delightful couple is
located on the banks Of Peshastin creek
and consists of a twentY-seven acre
fruit orchard. which partly accounts for
their coniented and philosophical out
look on life. But only in part does
this account for their hospitality, they
are just naturally that way.
From Peshastin were Mr.. and Mrs.
E. Bruyette, Mrs. Courtney and Mr..
F. A. Wingate. The following Leav-
enworth people were present: Mr..
and Mrs. w. w. Rice, Mr.. and Mrs.
J. v. Mazurie. Mrs. w. J: Barrett
and her mother. Mrs. Fitzpatrick and
Deed H. Magyar.
Going @ome in Mr.. Hart's carryall
sleigh, on a perfect moonlit winter
night, was not the least enjoyable part
of the program.

A FARM OFFERS THE BEST

c. ]. Blanchard, statistician for the

at a public meeting at the Manhattan
club in New York last Saturday even
ing: The best chance for the poor
man who lives in large city and
hopes to avoid the struggle for exist
ence, is to get on the land by apply
ing TO the government for a farm in
the reclaimed public areas"
Farm values have increased so much
Mr.. Blanchard pointed out that it is
practically impossible for a man Of
small means to own a farm unless ne
applies to the government for site on
easy termt in the reclaimed areas.
Hundreds Of men, many with capital
from $500 up, he said, have estab-
lished themselves in homes on these
projects and are now in sight of inde-
pendence. and even wealth.

INVESTIGATION ASKED
BY LOCAL SOCIALISTS
Resolutions Sent to President Demanding
Steps be Taken BY Government to
Acquire and Operate Mines

To the Honorable, the President and
Congress Of the United States Of
America:
Whereas, Thousands of miners in
the copper regions of Michigan, as
well as in other parts of the United
States, have been for months engaged
in terrific industrial struggle with the
mine owners; and
Whereas, In this struggle the
workers have encountered atrocity and
outrage, have seen their members muir
dered, their property destroyed, their
homes ravaged, their children killed;
the editors and publishers of their pa
pers arrested, thrown into Jail and re-
fused release on bail; their leaders
shot, violently assaulted, dragged
through the streets of the city, and
driven out of the state; and,
Whereas, In all the copper region
all semblance OF right and justice is
suspended and reign of violence and
terrorism prevails, while labor and in
dustry are paralyzed; and,
Whereas, These events demon
strate conclusively the utter incapacity
of the present mine owners to operate
the mines of these regions, either in
justice to labor or safety to the COM
munities, or in harmony with the vel
fare OF the people of this nation.
Therefore, be it
Resolved, That the undersigned
hereby demand of the Congress Of the
United States to take steps as follows:
First:-That thorough congress
sional investigation of the whole strike
situation be made Immediately, and
the findings be published at the ear
liest possible moment;
Second: the government take
immediate steps to acquire possession
Of the copper mines, and operate them
under union conditions.

City of Leavenworth, in the State O

probably suggested the appropriate
name OF Riverside Club. The men,
