from the West did things by halves There
were rides and auto drives and calls Yes and the select
little dinners afterward in bohemian retreats
things that stuck in his memory Everything was jolly
and coy these occasions, and when the youth left
his guests they invariably assured him that he
mighty decent chap, and that they did hope they would
meet him again.
There young actress who had sat night after
night listening to the youth make ardent promises
Of honeymoons they talked, of gliding down Venetian
in lazy gondolas of slipping down magic Ger
waterways. But now things were different. The
Shrimp put all these things behind him. His days of
college escapades gone. He had learned to eschew
even the cousin of anything that savored of
the chorus girl 1t years since he had ndited
an ardent epistle to her to whom he had talked of
honeymoons and magic waterways.
RUT hardly had the curtain gone up tonight than the
youth realized that there more than one familiar
face in the chorus before him. His eyes sprang fearuly
from to another. Heavens" he mused. "What if

Detail upon detail recurred. He was
confronted again with the deluge of

glasses, and the promises
He went hot, then cold, with men,
ories rioting hotly in his brain. The
chorus tripped gaily off the stage,
leaving the soubrette. If she should
see him! Hardly had she started to
recite her opening lines than her eyes
fell upon him. She recognized him!
The Shrimp leaned over and whis-
pered the entire story to Jones.
Jones swore under his breath.
@She recognizes me, 1 tell you'll"

@The rascals won't come back un-
til they are forgiven retorted the
Senator, with secret triumph.
@Then wire them forgiveness"
proposed Flancher.
@Not on your life!" fumed the
Senator. His jaw snapped, and fur
ther arguments were in vain.
Then it was that pair of ardent
supporters Of the million-dollar bill,
foreseeing disaster if it was not re-
turned by morning, and surmising
that there was some kind of plot afoot
to play the appropriation bill against
the local option bill, and knowing
that there was no train from Still
water TO Olympia in time to have the
bill returned for the next days ses-
sion, concooted a desperate plot.
To the telegraph Office they hur-
r1ed and wrote message, signing the
Senator'S S name.
MEANWHILE, Bessie Campeau,
AA having calmed her ruffled con-
science by wiring her uncle her
whereabouts, and all unconscious of
the havoc her departure with the
others had wrought in Olympia, was
sleeping peacefully, and her dreams,
if she had any, dealt with kisses
there in the automobile, and manly
arm, and soft words.
The two youths were up next
morning before the party's chaperon
had deemed it advisable to awaken
Bessie and Miss Madison.

THE PEOPLES FORUM.
Who Said He Was Responsible for the
Appointment. Of nr. BoIden?
To the Editor of the Republican:

To the Editor of the Republican:
The people out in this neck of woods
were greatly relieved when the Journal
came out last week to learn that Dele
gate Shartzer was Sin no wise respon-
sible for the appointment of D. E. Boil
den, election supervisor" What ter
rible responsibility he escaped and what
tremendous burden he lifted from our
shoulders. 1t is mighty fortunate for
said Bolden that the delegate "has no
objections" to him. How awful 1t
would have been if he had objections.
The delegate says further, that he ''be-
lieves that the appointment belongs to
Friendsville, and not to Oakland. " Why
not to Kitzmiller, Grantsville or Deer
Park? Is it possible, Mr. Editor, that
the delegate promised it to some one at
Friendsville?
Mr.. Editor, was there miracle per-
formed in the appointment of Mr.. Boil
den? The Journal says, ''Mr. George
Geissman, a member of the State Cen
trail commi tee, also stated that he did
not sign the petition for Mr.. Bolden. I"
And yet Mr.. Bolden got the appoint
ment. Can you explain it? My neigh
bors in Brush Hollow say they did not
sign it, and | was not consulted, either.
What is the country coming to-" If
such things continue there will be a
mighty kick coming. Why the afore-
SAID gentleman should tell this to the
Journal | can't get through my head.
What has the Journal to do with our
Republican sorrows and misfortunes?
After reading the Journals statement
the question arose: How did the said
Bolden get the place without TIE Dele
gates consent or knowledge? Again l
ask, in the language OF great states
man % What is the country coming
tor
| suppose Mr.. Bolden will promptly
tender his resignation to the Governor.

The movement set on foot some time
ago to muster Camp of the Sons of

charter members.
Those who are eligible for member
ship in the Camp are the sons or grand
sons of soldiers who have attained the
age of eighteen years.
The organization is purely patriotic
one and everyone who is eligible to
membership as above set fourth should
get into communication with Mr.. Nor
man r. Sanner, of the Oakland Phar-
macy, Oakland, who will give all in
tOrmatio. necessary.

The Saturday Evening Post forcibly
remarhs: For sixteen years the DEM
ocrats were constantly upbraiding the
Republicans for gross waste and profit
gacy in appropriations. And two years
ago when the Democrats secured con-
troll of the House, they shed many tears
and acclaimed MANY yards of denuncia-
ton because Mr.. Taft's Republican ex-
ecutive heads were so wasteful and so
eXtravagant. 1t was not only shame
but it was a crime. The Democrats
were the boys who would retrench. once
they got the thing into their economical
unrestricted hands. The whole govern
ment boiling became Democratic on
March 4th last. And what is the result?
The result is that the estimates SUBJ
mitted by the Democratic heads of Dem
ocratic departments to a Democratic
House and Democratic Senate, and I'M
der a Democratic President, are thirty
four million dollars-a neat sum-in
excess OF the appropriations made for
the fiscal year when the extravagant
Republicans prepared the estimates
the extravagant Republicans who had
been running the country on the rocks
by their criminal waste of the money of
the people. A beautiful illustration of
Democratic Economy! ono-mee
