WASHINGTON.-I the death Of
William O. Bradley, of Kentucky, the
senate lost one Of the readiest wits Of
that body though he was little known
as such. Bradley had comparatively
little TO say. partly because-as l
once heard him cOnfess-he never got
over a keen sense of stage fright
when he undertook TO speak in the
senate. He was one of the best rough
and tumble stump speakers in Ken
lucky, and thought no more of talk
ing before an antagOnistic audience
than he did of talkning a cup Of
coffee. But there is something about
the cold solemnity and inattentive-
ness of the senate-particularly the
inattentiveness-tha often chills the
Oratory of even an experienced
speaker-and that was the situation
with Bradley
He never spoke if he felt that he
could avoid it-just as the late Sen.
Hepburn seldom refrained from talk
ing. When he did engage in debate,
however, Bradley always had an
answer ready. One Of his retorts is
still quoted about the senate. He

as he could. when he was interrupted
by Eugene Hale, of Maine, who was
then sharing with Nelse Aldrich the
senate leadership. Hale glared over
at Bradley in a manner designed 10

rather than of anger:

Bradley was speaking in Kentucky
on a certain occasion. when running
for governor. and memb ers of the
opposition party had hired one of the
bad men" of the community to
harass and annoy the speaker with
questions.
One of question was this: "If there
was negro running on the republi-
can ticket would you vote for him ?"
To which Bradley replied:
IF his opponent happened TO be a
low-down. Ornery, good for nothing,
white whelp like you. yes
The crowd yelled in derision at the
bad man" questioner then and Brad
ley ives Intercepted no farther. But
his friends warned him at the close
of the meeting, that the man was
probably SO angered by the retort
that he would lie in wait for the
speaker as he passed out Of the
building and take a shot at him.
"Oh, we'll 1 can't be housed up
here just because somebody's after
me-" said Bradley. And he went on
out as if nothing had happened
Sure enough the bad man" was
waiting for him. He walked up to
Bradley and said:
Billy, that was a pretty good one
you handed me. Them fellows hired
me TO ask YOU you them questions,
and l hadn't ort TO have done it"

Next TO the donning Of his first
pants. the incident of his early life
that Bro dley remembered best was
the day he placed a hot coal in the
teachers slipper. He had front
seat and did not particularly love his
teacher-perhaps because he sat so
close TO the teachers desk that their
presence palled on each other. The
teacher had a habit of kicking of
one slipper absent-mindedly and then
slipping his foot back into il again
after a few minutes. Bradley watched
his chance and with a stick portrayed
little hot coal from the stove nearby
and dropped il into the heel Of the
teachers slipper 4 second later the
teacher let his foot slide back into
its lreceptacle-and the immediate re-
suits were so gratifying 10 Bradley

NEWB|LL
/. SPEAKS NEXT WEEK
Head of Industrial Extension
Work at State College to
Talk in High School Gym

Prof. T. j. Newbill, head of the
industrial extension work at the
Washington State College, will
give a public address in the high
school gymnasium at 8 o'clock
Friday evening, October %. The
meeting is to be given under the
auspices of the PARENT Teacher
association as a part of their
years work.
Prof. Newbill has been in the
county since the first of the
week, visiting the different
schools in an effort to interest
the school children in the organ
ization of agricultural and in
dustrial clubs. He demonstrates
the use of a home Gamer
by the use Of which school child
rem all over the country are util-
izing the by-products Of the or
chard and garden and entering
the markets in successful COM
petition with other manufacture
ers.
During the week, Prof. New
bill has been accompanied by
District Horticulturalist Luke
Powell and County Agricultur-
alist Lee M. Lampson. In speak
ing of Prof. Newbill's work, Mr..
Powell said, every person in
this community should hear
Prof. Newbill next week. He is
certainly great. He is one of
the most interesting and in
structive speakers l have ever
listened to and his canning dem
onstration is something that
every rancher who is wondering
what he is to do with his waste
products should not miss. In
short he is working to utilize the
surplus energy of our boys and
girls and the surplus products
of our farms. Hear him by all

hoped that it will make good show
ing for the school.

Tuesday morning the high school
and grades in the building had the
pleasure of listening to very inter-
esting talk by Mr.. Newbill, repre-
sentative from the Washington state
college at Pullman. He is trying to
Great an intereEt among the boys
and girls in organizing agricultural
and cooking clubs, which will be of

making propositions. He explained
that these clubs were started and as
sisted by the national government
through the state colleges. Bulletins,
pamphlets and lectures would be sent
to give assistance. The splendid re-
ception these clubs are getting in the
markets for their superior products
resulted in the adoption of label,

and be able to promote home life.
The organization have pins with the
letters A. A. A., standing for the
American Achievement Association.
Mr.. Newbill showed small jar of
fruit which was the first canned by
any club in Washington. He then ex-
planned the merits of three cooking
outfits which were primarily intended
for canning fruits and difficult vege-
tables, such as peas, beans and corn.
Each of these outfits required less
time, fuel and work, and gave better
color, flavor and shape than the wash
boiler method employed by our grand
mothers. Mr.. Newbill promised to
return to Kennewick on Friday, Oct.
23rd and give the people of Kenne-
wick an opportunity to see this new
canning process in actual operation.
1t is understood that this demonstra-
ton will be given under the auspices
Of the Parent-Teacbers association.

this SPARROW WAS BOLD
IN Theft OF A TIE
Enters Hotel Window And
Makes Rich Haul

When Col. Wilbur Brown was pre-
pairing to make his toilette yesterday
morning in his apartments at the no.
tel he was nonplussed at the disap-
pearance of his silk tie which with its
diamond stickpin, he had left upon the
dresser upon retiring. Diligent search
of the room failed to locate the miss
ing tie, and Col. Brown was upon the
point of sending in the S. o. S. signal
of distress when, upon glancing out
of the open window, he was amazed at
seeing his tie suspended from the limb
of a tree near by Col. Brown is pres
ident of the temperance league in his
home town, New Orleans, and he had
no recollection of having climbed that
particular tree the day before. But
the silk tie, with the diamond stickpin
was right there, and the robbery
was explained when an English spar
row bearing a small bale of straw in
his beak alighted upon the limb and
began to weave the straw and silk tie
into nest. This plan was frustrated
by Col. Brown, who rescued the tie,
which in future, he will leave with the
night clerk upon hitting the hay IN
this sparrowetic community.
