HE WAS
GREATLY
ABASHED

A man in Carlyle's startled din
ers at nearby tables today by
bowling "O-o-ow!"
A stout woman sitting just be-
hind him was so perturbed by
his cutlery that the ice cream she
had aimed at her mouth went
down inside her blouse.
The disturbed man diner was
discounted by the attention he
attracted. His exclamation. as he
explained, was entirely involun-
tary, and he took pains To express
his sincere regret to the matron
with the ice cream on her chest.
Various Ways to DO 1t.
He always had given the closest
attention to the niceties of con-
duct at the table, particularly in
eating of dill pickles and of green
corn.
1t was he who introduced the
custom of protecting the eyes by
wearing auto goggles when about
to bite into dill pickle.
Now there are several ways OF
eating corn-on-the-cob. One may
hold an end of the club in each
hand, bite into the middle and
proceed to right and lett in a tenn
peramental fashion as in playing
mouth organ.
Chooses Revolving Way.
Or one may start in at one end
and revolve the cob slowly, re-
moving the corn from the entire
circumference of the cob, inch by
inch, proceeding either from left
to right or from right to left as
fancy suggests.
He chose to hold the cob by
one end elegantly between the
thumb and two fingers of one
hand. He took his first bite at
the end most distant from his
fingers and followed up two rows
along the cob bite by bite.
Suggests Invention.
He might have finished the en-.
tire cob without mishap or EN-
barrassment but
In biting along the cob he had
failed to note he had reached the
end, and nearly bit off his thumb.
He confided to a reporter aft
erward that a contrivance in use
on typewriters might be found
most valuable to persons eating
corn on the cob. This is the guard
and bell which indicate when one
has reached the end of the line.

OPERATE AGAIN ON
YOUTHFUL CRIPPLE

Larry Sullivan underwent his
second operation yesterday.
The crippled boy for whom The
Times and Mayor Fawcett have
been raising funds during the
last three weeks was again placed
on an operating table for an hour
yesterday while surgeons donat-
ing their services worked over his
paralyzed limbs.
Although suffering intense pain
today the boy is again his own
cheerful self smiling wanly as the
nurses attend to him. It will be
the first week in September be-
fore Larry can leave his cot at
the county hospital.
Yesterdays operation was on
the crippled boys right leg. The
joints of his ankle and knee were
strengthened. He will be able to
wear locking brace on this leg,
giving him a stiff limb for walk
ing, aid a bent limb, when UNI
locked at the knee joint, for sit
ting. q
His left leg was operated OF.
some time ago, and the joints
we're stiffened.
The leg had been so crippled
by paralysis that there was no
hope of saving the joint. OF
course the boy will always use
crutches, but his limbs will now
be able to sustain his own weight.
In the meantime Mayor Faw-
cett's committee, composed of w.
S. Van yoris, Mrs. ]. 8. Kemp and
Miss Donaldena Mcdonald, is busy
searching for a location for Lar

But he adds he has never even

Driving up to the general store
of Rupert Barnes at Des Moines.
on the East Passage, between Ia
coma and Seattle, early last even
ing, six masked automobile ban
dts held up the proprietor and
four men who were chatting in
the store, robbed the cash regis

their high-powered car.
Barnes, Victor Rudeberg, M.
Dickensen, and w. L. Mesick were
the victims. The bandits leveled
revolvers as they entered the

wall and compelled Barnes to re-
move valuable ring from his

LONDON, Aug. Humility
and recognition of weakness to-
day replaced a national feeling Of
confidence when Great Britain in
a thousand meetings observed the
anniversary of its declaration Of
war on Germany.
But with this change in spirit
there was marked also a stronger
determination for final victory.
Throughout the meetings ran
= the feeling that Great Britain had
erred in the past and would not
repeat it's mistakes.
Admit Grave Peril.
The newspapers frankly discuss
the empires grave danger and
declare that only by supreme,

saved from disaster.
The anniversary program OBJ

was arranged by a central COM

ITS all luck! Some bad
men win, "A good many good
men lose, and a whole lot of
us both win and lose."
Thus says Dan McCarty, a con-
firmed Alaska sourdougb, who
has just come to the outside after
II years in the fields of the
Northland, and who today was
visiting in Tacoma.
With him he had $4,000, the
result of his years of digging and
endurance.
And it's just luck I've got
that" said McCarty.
First Hunch Bad.
Then he told of how, II years
ago, he staked claim in the very
creek-bed of the most promising
stream in the Fairbanks district
But though men 100 yards
away-on ground that by every
law known to prospectors should
have been poorer than his-be.
came millionaires, he never got
to pay ore at all on his claim.
But early this year the Tolovana
district was discovered, 40 miles
north of Fairbanks. Over a rough
trail, made more arduous by win
ter, McCarty led in the race for
the new diggings.
THEN HE WINS!
And when he got there, he Sc
lected, not the supposedly choice
fields in the creek fields, but the
tracts which others despised, on
the hill-sides. He remembered
his experience of II years ago
and played bunch.
He won-and this time saw the
fellows on the rich fields despair
while in few months he sold a
half interest in his claim for 1884,
900. His diggings is considered
good, and he expects a rich clean
up.
But just now, McCarty is for
getting all about canned beans
and sourdough. He's going to
both expositions, and then going
east to see some of his old friends,
major league baseball, and some
more real civilization.

What Publicity will Do.

A short time ago, The Post pub
lished a little item, only two "sticks"
in length, calling attention to the
fact that there existed in this local
ity, in large quantities, seasoned iron
wood that might have a good com
mercial value, if it's existence were
generally known, for the manufac-
ture of such articles of utility as re-
quire a hard and highly polfshable
wood. Last week, apropOs of that
item, e. H. Fuller, the local agent Of
the Santa Fe, received a letter from
f. P. Cruice, The general freight and
passenger agent at Prescott, request
ing that a sample OF this wood be
sent him, in order that he may for
ward it to the company's industrial
inspector at San Francisco, who in
turn will submit it to the manufac-
turers throughout the country for
their opinion as to its desirability in
their respective lines of work. He
he Will send to Tiffany & Co., the
great jeWelry manufacturers of New
Yori' The requesr was complied
with arc the smries are now On the
way to their destination. The re-
suits will be learned later.
That goes to show so plainly that
there can be no mistake about it,,
how far-reaching an apparently OBJ
scure little newspaper item may be,
and the benefits to be derived from
this class Of advertising. That OBJ
scure little item has sent two sticks
OF that wood travelling in two direc-
tions-east and west, from the Pa
cific to the Atlantic seabOards-and
they will no doubt be closely exam
ined and tested to ascertain their
commercial value by probably hun
tell but what it may yet be the
means Of opening up new industry
in this ": nifty whereby all will
share in the benefits, directly or in
directly, and the fellow who hauls in
jag OF this wood will not have to
peddle it from door to door, selling
it as fuel for a mere pittance over
and above the cost of his axle grease
item which was action in it's incep-
tipn, in a figurative sense, like the
kick OF the COW that upset the lamp
that started the fire that destroyed

Dan McGlOne returned home Tues
day after a three days journey out
in the country. In his travels he
lsjted, among others, the Billy Mack
and the Preston & Woodruff group
{ mines. The Ruby, one of the
Mack properties which is being work
ed by Ed Minnick, he says is max
ing an exceptionally good showing.
He entered the mine right after a
round Of holes had been shot and
there lay, as the result Of the blast,
about ten sacks Of ore that will go
between eighty and ninety dollars
to the ton. The Preston & Wood
ruff, he says, is also giving a good
account, Of itself. The owners have
on the dump several tons of ore,
carrying gold principally, that will
easily go between fifty and sixty
dollars to the ton.

Warehouse Sold.

Company's store, which was built
and owned by the Colorado River
Supply Company and formerly used
as a warehouse, was sold this week
by the trustees of the company, E..
F. Lauten of this place being the pur
chaser. Mr.. Lauten also bought the
ice storage house adjoining from the
same parties. This warehouse, which
is connected with the railroad by a
spur track, is a very spacious fire
proof structure and is undoubtedly
al excellent piece Of property. Mr..
Lauten will use it at present for the
storage therein of automobiles and
lumber.
