the stockroom door was not quite
closed.
The situation was tense; it held DO
tent1al conflict. Flodie, listening from
the stockroom, waited eagerly for the
hrst shot. There was, however. a lit
tie preliminary skirmishing necessary:
neither of the two foes had yet recog-
nized the presence of a rival.
Rosamund, with beauty's contempt
for mere brains, had returned to her
inspection Of the photographs, when a.
careless gesture sent some dozens of
the prints slipping, sliding, falling to
the floor. With an expression of an
noyance she stopped to pick them up
Carolyn watched her. When two or
three handfuls had been returned to
the table, and Rosamund, listless and
restless, had taken a new pose. one
picture remained at her feet. CAROLYN
good-naturedly walked over and picked
it up, then looked at it, smiling. Rosa

"Mrs. Royalton. A friend of Mr..
Bonistelle." Carolyn's lip had the
slightest curl, in her eyes was a subtle

"Ohi" Rosamund gave it another
look. and added petulantly: "Mr. Boni-
stelle seems to have a good many

Carolyn was frankly amused;
enough to say, ooh, yes; IN fact, I'm

woman-to-woman glance at Rosamund.

for Rosamund to register; but the hos

Perhaps you think" Carolyn went
on, smiling, as Rosamund was silent,
that that's good reason for our not
being friends"
This was in the modern mode; but
frankness was not at all the game that
Rosamund played best; wherefore she

PUTS THE INTELLECT FIRST
Educator Asserts That Its Training Is
of More Importance Than Is
That of the Body.

Commenting on the theory, now so
popular, that educators should concen-
trate on the training of hands rather
than the training of minds, if the
young persons of our land are to grow
into useful men and women, Mary
Leal Hardness, writing in the Allan
tic, gives it as her opinion that sit is
tremendous fallacy that the spos-
SCISSOR of only the trained hand can
hope with any well-founded confidence
to be included in that desirable COM
pany which is both interesting and in
terested.
If you could persuade every wom-
an to sweep a floor properly, doubt
much If she could still be guaranteed
en- agreeable companion for rainy
Sunday" continues the writer. IF
you could teach every white wing in
any city to remove the dirt of the
streets in the most dustless and sani-
tary manner known to science, still
question whether you would wish him
to come to your library for an eve
ming of uplifting conversation. And
he would be equally lacking in re-
sources for self-entertainment in his
unemployed hours.
If there is anything beneath the
stars more pitiable than the elderly
man or woman with no intellec-
tual resources from which to draw
occupation and interest, l have not
yet seen it. On the other hand, there
is nothing which so effectively robs
the prospect of old age of its terrors
as the sight of the scholarly wearer OF
whitened hair which crowns a head
still vigorous and young through the
happy preservative agency of
trained and much-used intellect.
mo mechanical process can guar
antee to us an interesting life, or
insure US against boredom. But just
because it is something more than a
mechanical process a college educa-
ton of the right sort comes nearer
doing this than any other agency we
know-certainly nearer than any drill
in cow-milking or scientific cooking.
Its value to us and to the future of
our country is beyond estimation. II
the time ever comes when vital Is
taken to be synonymous with 'lucra-
tive; when the life of the mind and
the training of the mind are set be-
low those of the body; when intelli-
gence, as a means to full and sat
isfying life, is superseded by prophy-
laxis and hygiene-then we may we'll
wish that we had listened to a wiser

REAL MEANING OF "CLASSIc"
Just at This Time All Displays In the
Nude Are Termed "Real
ART"

Here is a picture in a newspaper
showing a girl executing the new
classic dance. The classic part of 1t,
we suppose, is the legs, which are
bare to above the knee, and one of
them is bent so that the heel almost
touches the backbone. The beautiful
part of this dance is that it is classic.

Complaint of Slow Settlement

The apple growers in the vicinity
OF Leavenworth signed up their apple
crops last year with the Fruit Distrib-
utors selling agency, while the grow
ers in the vicinity Of Peshastin signed
up with the Western Fruit Exchange.
Peshastin apple growers have had final
settlements made some weeks ago and
realized SO cents per box all around
for their apples. The Fruit Distributors
have paid As cents per box on few
varieties. such as winesap and delicious
while on the bulk of the apples shipt
from here only Is cents per box has
been paid so far, and final settlement
has not been made with any of the
apple growers in the Leavenworth dis
trict. This has caused considerable
dissatisfaction and they are wondering
if this is all they are to get. They
cannot understand why the Distribu-
tors agency should be SO much behind
others.

WENATCHFE NEWS

An accidental discharge OF revolver
resulted in the death Of Fred Bills Of
Monitor at the Wenatchee General
Hospital last Sunday night at $3.50.
Bills was targeting shooting Saturday
afternoon with a party of friends on the
Wenatchee High Line Orchard OF
which he was manager, when the firing
pin stuck accidentally discharging the
gun the bullet striking him in the alb
domen. Bills at first thought it was
only slight wound, but later after an
examination had been made it was
found to be OF more serious nature.
The bullet was removed when it was
found that it had passed entirely thru
the intestines. Bills showed remark
able nerve and repeatedly said he
would be back on the ranch inside Of
two weeks. He grew rapidly worse
however and passed away some twenty
hours later. The deceased is well
known thruout the Wenatchee valley
and had many friends.

Peach Growers of Lower Valley Want.
Help

w. H. Paulhamus is expected to be
in Wenatchee this week to meet the
soft fruit growers who are up in the air
about selling their peaches of which
there is promise Of a good yield on all
the trees lett Standing last fall. The
unsatisfactory prices received for this
fruit the past few years so discouraged
the owners of peach orchards that many
were cut down. Cherries started out
at good price but the reckless way
in which the stuff was thrown on the
market broke the price and now cher
ries are practically unstable. The
peaches will come on about the first
of July and the growers are in hope
some way may be found to market the
stuff at a price that will net the grow
ers reasonable price. Mr. Paulha-
mus success in handling the berry
crop OF the Puyallup valley for several
years has given the peach growers
hope that his experience may help
solve their troubles.
