THE TALE Of A SUIT
AND A KIND HEART
II. ID. MacNean Gives Impressive
Demonstration OF His sympathy
Tor the Belgian Refugees

II. d. MacVean, the genial and
enterprising representative OF the
Potlatch Lumber Co., has given an
other demonstration OF his big-heart-
euness which conclusiyely proves
that he is the most generous man in
Pullman. When the appeal for cloth
ing to be sent to the needy Belgians
was issued 1t aroused Mr. MacNean's
s. mpathIes TO such an extent that he
went home and not only packed up
all his own clothes, but also a suit
belonging to his old-time friend, Lee
Alien. 1t seems that several weeks
ago MacNean was spending an even
hs at Mr. Aliens home and, as
usual was being beaten at pinochle.
when the fire alarm bell rang.
thinking that he might secure an
order Tor lumber TO replace some
burning building, and also seeing an
opportunity TO end the disastrous
plnochle game, MacVean started for
town by the shortest possible route
aud IN his haste tangled up with
oarbed wire fence. He got through
the fence, but left such portions of
his coat and trousers as mementoes
that he was not in a presentable con-
dltlon for either a fire or a call In
response to his S. o. S. signals MIR.
Allen brought out a suit of his own
clothes and McVean made light
nhg change in the chilly atmos-
phere OF Woodshed.
The suit failed to come back to its
owner despite frequent hints from
Allen and would soon have been On
ITS way to adorn some Belgian ref
usee, had it not been that fate or
dained that the package of clothing
donated by Mr. MacVean should be
sent to the guild room of the
Episcopal church and should be
opened by Mrs. Lee Allen. She
promptly recognized the suit as be-
longing to her husband and rescued
1t from the debris.
Mr.. MacVean defends his gener-
osity with Mr.. Aliens clothes on two
grounds: First that the suit would
nave given comfort to some needy
Belgian, and second, that it would
have given discomfort to the local
Ellis to see their Exalted Ruler APP
pearing in such worn and out-of-style
raiment.

Prof F. A. Thomson has finished
"a History of Engineering" at W.
S. G. One of the interesting facts
brought out in the article is that at
the time of the foundation of the
College the endowment bestowed
upon it for science was over 10 per
cent larger than the grant for agri-
culture. The first enrollm ent in the
Department of Engineering in 1892
numbered eight. whereas today, in
the Department of Civil, Mechanical,
Electrical, and Mining Engineering,
the total number of students is over
200. Nearly $50 degrees in engin-
eering have been granted, of which
the greatest proportion were from
the Departments of Civil and Elec-
trical Engineering.

Ought man Push the PerambuIatOr!

i'm this great work passes comprehension.
Certainly the times are out Of Joint,
and We have gotten to a place where we
take a very decadent view of things when
a man is Inundated by being seen on the
street giving his own child an outing, and
when such a spectacle is the subject for
the gibes and mocking OF fools.
Happily. though, sensible people are
still Of the opinion that a baby is thing
to boast Of and not be ashamed of, and
that a young man pushing his own baby
carriage is a more admirable spectacle
than a haw-haw youth tuggng at the
leash Of a bulldog.
But let no one ever again lay the crime
of race suicide at womans door. since
the fathers take so little interest in their
offspring that they are not willing to be
seen in public with them. Apparently
children arc no longer considered by their
fathers as a crown of glory. but sort
Of disgrace that they try to keep hidden
and out OF sight as far as possible.
As for my correspondents contention
that is a woman's duty to push the
perambulator. that Is as may be. To the
dispa ssionate observers it would seem
that inasnuCh as a father is just as
much a father as n mother is mother,
it's just as much his business to give the
baby an airing as it is hers
OF course the mother Is harnessed to
the babys go-cart most of the time. Six
| days out of the seven she pushes 1t ahead
of her whenever she takes her walks
abroad just as she listens to the baby
! crying and washes and dresses and cares
for it seven days out of the week, and
| this being the case, it appears to be up
| to the father to take his turn at the wheel
| occasionally, even If he is mortified to
! death at being seen out in the company
Of his own child.
, My correspondent is ashamed TO be seen
pushing a perambulator. l wonder II he
ever passes through the residential part
/ of the city between the hours OF 10 and
| 4 o'clock The streets are baby block

who has been told by her doctor that
the baby must be kept in the air GER

mer. in the lee of some sheltering build

gagged would It be proper for her to pro-
fess her love for the young man to whom
she Is engaged without his asking her II
she loves him, or just what do you think
would be necessary?
Would 1t be necessary to have place
cards at a wedding dinner, and how
would the wedding party be seated IL the
minister is present? How and where
should parents be seated. L. NJ. y.
When an engaged couple is alone affec-
tionate advances from either are entirely
in keeping 1t is not expected that lovers
be always held in check by formalitcs,
and especially after they have plightod
their troth by becoming formally engaged.
At a wedding dinner or breakfast it is
customary to seat the bride and groom
