window in Willmans home. Whitman

From what the police have been able
TO learn Of the shooting the father OF

near the Moore shipyard, had been or
dered to vacate the property by the
owner, who allowed Whitman to harvest
his truck in the garden. Whitman

ing his tomatoes and he had put the
boy there to guard the truck. Jester
daily Reese, with other men, were at
work on the property when the Will
man boy pulled a revolver and threat
ened to shoot him. Later he secured q
shotgun and fired at Reese, the shot
entering his face and chest.

TimideSt Little Mink Has Her
Turn to Laugh.
There is a saying wise and old.
And often have you heard 1t told:
Who keeps his laughter till the rest
Have finished laughing laughs the best.

OF course this is just a way Of say
Ing that very often people who laugh
at another find they have made mis-
take and that they are the ones to be
laughed at. Something of the kind
happened in the case of the five little
Minks who had gone out to play on
the bank Of the Laughing Brook. The
tlmtdest little Mink. VINO was very
what looked like a black stump close
by her favorite little pool in the Laugh
Ing Brook and she couldn't remember
having, seen it before. When she
asked her brothers and sisters if they
remembered it she found that not one
of them did This was enough for the
timidest little Mink. There was some
thing suspicious about that black stump
and she promptly decided that the place
for her was under the shelter of the
pile Of brush that hid their home.
How the others did laugh at her and
make fun of her for being so afraid
of an old black stump. They said she
was silly little thing and called her
'"fraidy' and said she would run from
her own shadow. Finally they. went
on with their play, still laughing, at
their timid little sinister, until at last
they forgot her altogether in the fun
they We're having. Neither did they
give the old black stump another
thought.
So they romped and played tag and
wrestled and had the best of good times
while the timidest little Mink peeped
out from unueF tHe Dile Oh pEESn ana
watched them and envied them and still
was afraid to join them because no one
could remember having seen that big
black stump before. At length the
four little Minks grew tired of frolick-
ing.
Let us go fishing said one.
Just the thing" cried another.
Who'll catch the first fish,
To the edge Of the Laughing Brook
they scampered and then like true fish
ermen became very quiet and cautious
as they stole around the edge Of a lit
tie pool watching for careless min
nows at play. From one pool to an
other they went until they came to
the pool near which was the big black
stump. In this pool was big school
of lively minnows and the eyes Of the
four little Minks g1istened. They didn't
even glance at the big black stump.
They had no eyes for anything but
those minnows In the little pool.
Just as the four little Minks were
creeping past the big black stump 1t
suddenly came to life. Yes. sir. that
is just what the big black stump did
1t suddenly jumped right at the four
little Minks and reached for them with
big paws armed with great claws. That
big black stump was Buster Bear,
Lucky it was that those four little
Minks naturally were quick. Buster

The young lady Of ten years or
thereabouts takes a lively interest In
her summer trousseau. especially If a
trip is anticipated.
To insure a pleasant journey. good
way to start out Is in dark green tat
feta, like the frock sketched. A white
net collar is becoming. and much
orange silk stitching adds a gay touch.
Three wide tucks represent the waist
line. and the cunning pockets are
shirred and finished with stitching.
The straw hat of old blue is indebted
to an artistic arrangement Of cherries
and black grosgrain ribbon for its
decorative value. and the brim has
lining Of black satin.
The indispensable travelling coat
should be Of dark green taffeta to
match the dress, and an oyster-colored
pongee collar would not seem amiss.
A green silk umbrella In case of rain
and a small black leather travelling
bag complete the young travellers
outfit.
A midnight blue taffeta seen in one
of the local shops has a box-plaited
skirt and collar, cuffs and buttons OF
natural pongee. A note of color is
added in the orange stitching. 1t makes
an excellent afternoon frock for the

OIL INSPECTION UPHELD.
Standard Oil Loses Fight to Recover
$4,000 in Fees Paid State.

Standard Oil, represented by Rich
ard A. Ballinger and Judge Alfred
Battle, of Seattle, by a decision OF
the supreme court this week failed
to have the state oil inspection law
knocked out. The supreme court
sustained the law on all points Of at
tack, in consequence of which an &C
emulation of $4,000 in fees that
have been paid into court under pro-
test since the litigation began will be
turned into the state treasury and
collection of further fees will con-
tinue on all oil shipped into the
state.
After. paying the fee fornyears the
Standard Oil company al ecked the
law a year ago on the ground that
the receipts exceed the cost of inspec-
ton to such an extent that they
amount to an illegal tax on business !;
that the inspection is an infringe
ment on interstate commerce and a
state duty on imports. The company
lost on all counts Figures pro%hced
in the trial show that the inspection
nets the state about $4,000 above
cost of making it and the business
is steadily increasing
