WOMAN IN HISTORY.

She Appears to Have Got Herself on
 a Good Many Pages.
 Some advocates of equal suffrage and feminine progress seem to think that woman has not been given her proper place and due credit in history.
 And yet. don't you know. we had not observed the historic discrimina ton against woman. On the contrary. the place of woman in history has look ed pretty good to us.
 What about Joan of Arc? And Char lotte Corday? And Rebecca the Jew ess? Anything namby pamby in them ? Who said Martha Washington and Florence Nightingale? Then there are don't let everybody speak at once Ruth and Rachel and Potiphar's wife not to mention Lots.
 You bet Caudle had no contempt for Mrs. Caudle. nor Mantalini for the madame.
 We need not go so far back as Cleo, patra and Aspasia except to remark that in their day they cut a rather wide swath around Alexandria and Athens, and appear no small bunch of radishes on both the dramatic stage and the historic page. Moll Pitcher was hum mer in American history and Sal Jen nings loller in English history; Meg Merrilies was no slouch Does Cath. arine of Russia count for nothing, nor Maria Theresa of Austria. nor Eliza. beth and Victoria of Britain, among feminine sovereigns?
 Gracious. here come dropping in at the door, their bright eyes shining and their rosy cheeks glowing, Jessie Brown of Lucknow and Jeanie Deans of Midlothian. and Ethel Newcome and Lucy Fontain and Florence Dombey. God bless their sweet souls. each and every one!-I-Ouisville Courier Journal

Star S.1ht.

By all the rules ui tEt' game of na ture we should not be able tu see A star at all, for it appears from the earth as .geOmetricaI pu.nt. a thing without dimensions. and cannot be measured even ill the most powerful telescope. A star appears in a tele- scope just aS il does to the naked eye. Now the question naturally comes up as to why We can perceive star, d thing with no dimensions We cer- @inly c'tnnOt see SO small d thing un- der the microscope. The whole answer is peculiarity of the human eye and. in fact. of all optical instruments, call ed diffractiOn. X lens does not focus parallel rays of light to geomptrical point. even though they come from a point. and so d small disk is printed on the retina by star. and the star is perceived. Remember. though. that only the stars effect is perceived with the eye. A planet of course is differ ent. as it is comparatively close to us, and its actual disk may be seen and measured in the telescope. just as that of the moon can be seen with the nak- ed Pye.--Chicago Herald.

EeIS as Food.

The eel's food value is great and in some countries it is staple. The Eng fish consume millions. but the Scotch would quite as soon eat snakes. So in the ancient times, while the Ro- mans consumed large quantities. the Egyptians would not. touch them. A great many of our people have this same aversion to the eel. though d great many. others. are fond of it. Cincinnati Enquirer.

PLAY in PASCO NEXT SUNDAY
Kenaewiek Team Will Meet N P. Railreaders fol
Second Game Of Season

The ball game to which local
fans have been eagerly looking
forward to for the last two weeks,
will be staged in Pasco next Sun
day afternoon at 2::3O o'clock,
when the Kennewick lads will
cross bats with the N. P. team.
Kennewick had but little difficult
ty in putting the railroaders on
the list on this side Of the river
but Pasco has consoled themselves
with the admonition. "Just wait
until you strawberry pickers come
to Pasco." The strawberry
pickers are going Sunday and it
is expected a lot of fans will ac-
company them,
From Prosser last Sunday the
team brought back two scores
and left nine up at the county
seat. Nobody seems to know
just how it happened.

HORSE HEAVEN At
THE GRAPE CARNIVAL.
J. o. Short Will Ask Permission to
Inaugurate Dry Farming De-
partment at Annual Show

Believing that in former years
the Horse Heaven wheat industry
has not been given the recogni-
tion it deserves at the annual
Grape Carnivals. j. o. Short will
this year ask permission of the
committee to inaugurate a dry
farming department. 1t is Mr..
Shorts idea to take personal
charge of the department and to
offer appropriate cash prizes for
the best displays Of wheat and to
otherwise give publicity to the
dry land farming industry tribu-
itary to Kennewick.
Mr.. Short has outlined his plan
to a number of the ranchers who
have volunteered to assist him in
securing exhibits and in making
the new department a success.
One feature which will undoubt-
edly stimulate interest among the
farmers, is that the local exhibit
is to be made the basis for a
Horse Heaven exhibit among the
land products at the Panama
exposition in San Francisco next
year. Mr.. Short intends to Sc
lect the choicest grain displayed
here and enter it in the exposi-
tion contests with the understand!
ing that every entry will bear
the name and address of the pro-
ducer and that the grower is to
receive half Of any winnings that
may be made.
II believe that no better wheat
grows than that produced in
Horse Heaven and.if we don't get
inside the money at the big fair
we will at least get our name
among the also-rans," said Mr..
Short in discussing his plan. 81
have not yet taken this matter
up with the carnival committee
but expect to do so Immediately.
AS soon as l can get permission
to get the new department in.
cluded in the exhibits, / am go.
ing to get right out after the
products. You just watch. The
Horse Heaven Hills are going te
surprise some of you yet. !"

rieties will not be in for several
days. The Mayfl0wers brought
the growers about 81. 90 q box.

The box was placed at the gate
some time during Monday night

morning by MIR. McCready, who
goes to his work on the Annis
place every morning. 1t was
left sitting in plain view and Mr..
McCready, thinking it belonged
to the Annis family. made no in
yestigations until yesterday ymorn-
ing.
The box was open but the con-
tents were unsoiled, making it
clear that it had not long been
exposed to the weather. There
were signs of mice having been
inside, some of the papers being
slightly gnawed, which leads to
the belief that the box was hid
den in some shed or barn and
later removed by the robbers and
placed where it could be return
ed to the owner.

Manager Helm of the Kenne-

turned Monday after a pleasant
and profitable trip through west
ern Washington towns and cities,
placing orders for Kennewick
flour. He sold about eight car
loads and then had to start turn
ing down orders ON account of
being short of wheat. Mr.. Helm
states that there is practically
none of the cereal left in this
state and that with one or two
exceptions all Washington mills
are shut down or running short
time on this account. He expects
to have to import several cars Of
grain from Montana to tide him
over on his standing orders until
the new crop begins to move. It
is reported locally that the wheat
is about two weeks earlier than
normal this year and some of
the Horse Heaven outfits may be-
gin to harvest within q few days.
