when 9me TO. There was
nothing 70 dc put climb off at the
first stop and wan for me next
train back l had the pleasure of
looking forward TO a real visit in
Blackvi,le
From there, when l finally re-
turned. I wired the conductor of
the Augusta train 10 give my bag
gage 10 the agent at Augusta In
formed that the next train TO my
objective point was not due till
late in the evening-it was then
in the afternoon-I sought the
protection of the town hosiery.
Train q Little Late"
The opera tor told me the train
was a little late That is as far
as he would commit himself.
About two hours later ne went
out to a blackboard and chalked
up: NO. 20. 2:20 late" II was
the skiddoo number for me all
right. Three hours later | sent
over from the hotel TO find when
they expected the dereliot. Rest
easy came the answer, shes
here now, but she has to wait for
the Jacksonville fiy~r."
You may be sure l was any
thing but tickled TO death when
at last. with a grunt and a cough
and many creakings OF joints, the
old train finally hit the ties for
Augusta. We hadn't gone more
than a mile before that engine
contracted stomach ache.
By the time a freight engine
had been sent to our rescue the
cars were freezing. I'd have given
a weeks salary for the benny"
that beat me into Augusta. The
freight engine was little better
than its sick brother, but finally
managed TO haul US 10 town
where there were real electric
lights. Here q vender of hot
sandwiches broke all quick
lunch records for a quarter of
an hour.
In the meantime the other crew
had tinkered UP the sick engine
and sent it in pursuit Of us.
Chaperoned by it. we finally rum
bled into port. But not into the
Augusta station. Oh, no. The
railway bridge had been washed
away and the passengers had to
be transferred in a roundabout
way by bus.
A boy met me at the train. He
had my telegram to the conduc-
tor who dropped me with the
diner several ages before. On the
bottom were these words: Left
Your coat and baggage with T f
Cobb Naturally, I thought this
must be one of the station hands.
and I prepared 10 give him. his
associates and his road a mighty
fine tongue flashing.
A neatly dressed clean-cu
young fellow stepped UP to me

Mr.. Cobb"
And then and there I set into
him. I told him what I thought
of the South in general and his
road in particular: that I would
sue the company for heavy dam
ages He looked as il he thought
I had gone off my nut.
"That'll be az right" he said.

house. You must stay with me

Marion management. Jake was re-
called by Cleveland in the fall and
later sold TO Toledo in the American
Association Evidently Jake failed to
make good with Toledo, for they sold
him 10 Memphis early in the season OF
1909.
The Brooklyn scouts. in looking
over the Memphis hopefu.s. picked
Jake out as promising youngster

Queer about our misconceptions.
Whenever we really meet "gentle"
man we are inclined to look upon him
as a weak sister.
Borrowing trouble would not be so
unqualifiedly bad, but for the fact
that usury and compound interest are
invariably exacted.
We are not quite sure whether pes
simism is the outgrowth Of liver
trouble, or liver trouble is brought on
by a pessimistic disposition.
It is not of great consequence what
colors of headgear you may effect, so
long as there is plenty Of gray mat
ter in the internal makeup.
There is no opponent so difficult to
get the advantage of as the man who
has developed the faculty of meeting
every situation with a smile.
Not few men there are who tried
for place on the tickets of their re-
spective parties who will never be
rightfully accused of running" for
office.
Ire difference between success and
failure is often represented by vast
ing time that should be employed in
making an opportunity.
There is one advantage that the
fellow who is "stuck on himself" has
over a great many of those who ex-
press contempt for. him. He has at
least one sincere admirer.

DRUMHELLER HERE
Democratic Candidate for Congress
Spends Monday Afternoon in
Kennewick

Roscoe M. Drumheller of Wal
la Walla, democratic candidate
for congress, accompanied by
William Goodyear, of Pullman,
visited Kennewick Monday af-
ternoon. No formal meeting had
been planned. The visitors
spent the time in meeting the
business men of the city in their
stores and Offices. At one-thirty
the two men addressed small
crowd on second street from an
automobile.
Mr.. Goodyear, who is recog-
nized as one of the most brilliant
speakers of Washington democ-
racy, spoke at some length. He
placed much stress upon Wood
row Wilson's record in the pres
idential chair and the construc-
tive legislation that has been put
through by the present admins
tration. He claimed that the
continued success of the admins
tration demanded that men be
sent to the senate and the house
of representatives who are in
sympathy with the administra-
ton and one who will uphold the
policies of the president. Upon
this ground he urged the sup
port Of Judge Black and Mr..
Drumheller.
The two campaigners were es-
corted and introduced by Aver
ill Beavers and Chairman C. L.
Holcomb Of the county central
committee.

Finesse Ii one of those wonderful
French words which seem to mean 20
much and yet. when one hunts them
right down to their fundamental es-
sence. turn out to mean really nothing
SO very much at all.
The word finesse as originally intro
duced into this country meant the
maneuver In whist by which you take
q trick from your opponents with a
card lower than your highest-a card
inferior also to one possessed by your
opponents.
Speaking generally, without chasing
the word too near fits lair. 6nesse
means the art of doing things niftily-I

to American slang In order to get the
best definition for subtle French ex-
pressions.

It. The thing has tang Of the south

.KENNEW|CK CHURCH
IN new PLAN BOOK
Zion Lutheran Building Selected
as Desirable Type of Bung-
allow Construction

Harold E. Crawford, head of
the engineering department of
the Tum-A-Lum Lumber COM
pany, was in Kennewick the last
of the week from Walla Walla.
Mr.. Crawford has in course of
preparation a book Of plans and
specifications which is intended
to supplement the $4,000 plan
book Of homes recently compiled
and issued by the Western Re
tail Lumberman's association of
Spokane. The new work will be
devoted more especially to plans
of barns, silos, milk houses, hog
sheds, and other farm buildings,
as well as country schools,
churches, banks and office build
ings.
The new book will contain IL
Illustrations for the completed
buildings, floor plans, complete
specifications, bills of material,
and costs based upon actual con-
struction figures in the Tuna
Lum territory. While here Mr..
Crawford secured a photograph
of and data regarding the con-
struction of the Zion Lutheran
church in Olmsted addition,
which he said was the neatest
type of small bungalow church
he had seen in the district.
Mr.. Crawford's department
recently furnished plans and
specifications for a barn, silo
and milk house for Harry Alb
bott, on Riverview ranch at the
mouth of the Yakima. In speak
ing of this feature of his work,
Mr.. Crawford said: "a farmer
often underestimates the need
of definite plans for almost any
kind of building. For instance,
he wants to build a hog shed.
He thinks it useless to bother
with prepared plans and goes
ahead with his own hit or miss
ideas. When the shed is done
he finds that the roof is at an
angle that keeps the sun from
the bottom of the shed at far
rowing time. It perhaps never
occurred to him that the shed
built for April narrowing is not
at all suitable for January or
February narrowing. He forgot
to take into consideration the
changing elevation of the sun.
It is to help, the customer cor
rect these mistakes and to re-
mind him of the seemingly small
