IF WE could only "see oursels" some
l. times when other people see us and
we don't want them to, how we should
laugh! How, indeed? Why just as the
others do. If the young man In this
story could have seen himself he might
not have laughed, but know he wouldn't
have blushed so hard and he really might
have Joined the suppressed giggler, or
rather the suspected suppressed giggler,
of the tale.
He had been dining at a picturesque
Colonial mansion, where he had talked
very impressivey about the war with
Papa, and had conversed very-well any.
how, he had conversed with Papa's
daughter for several hours With a
graceful bow he made his adieus shortly
after 10 o'clock and started down the
flower.bordered path to the gate.
To say he was dressed in his very best
from top to toe would not exaggerate
matters at all, and his patentleather
attic mood, as if they had been made to
order, and perhaps they had. Just how
can one fit a mood, Nancy? interrupts
Nelly, but suffice it to say one can, If one
gets the proper mood and the proper
boiled shirt.
The young man was a little annoyed
when he reached the gate to find that 1t

available space he now blushed in the
back of his neck-and showed again.
After some fifteen minutes Of pulling,

nobody heard what he said, a maid,

down the path from the house. I'm

The patentleather pumps were no longer

creamy white trousers gave witness Of
their contact with Mother Earth. His
hair was toused, his hands were scratched
and his pride was crushed to earth, never
to rise again.
For the thing that fingered in his
minds ear-if there is such a thing-as
he brushed himself off and soothed his
harassed feelings with few, very few, but
tUell-choSen words, was the slight but
unmistakable sound of much.amused,
very feminine giggle that came from the
vines that hid the porch. Methlnks it
will be cold, frosty day when he enters
that house again.
And in a way, one can't blame him.

gate was stuck and 1t was scarcely kind
of his late hostess to laugh at his dis.

ridicule, it seems.

STORES EGGS IN
ATTEMPT TO RAISE PRICES

In an effort to bring about raise
in the price of eggs in order to help
the poultrymen meet expenses. the
Washington Cooperative Egg and
Poultry Association is making ar
rangements to store its receipts of
1900 cases of eggs a week, and thus
relieve the market. ". H. Paulham-
us, president of the association, ad-
dressed a telegram to the Seattle
commission men last week. urging
them to protect the poultry industry
by advancing prices.
The following was Mr.. Paulhamus
message, as transmitted to j. H. Cuff
fey, secretary of the association:
Kindly call an immediate meet-
ing of all jobbers handling eggs and
point out the necessity of immediate
ly boosting the price to 40 cents in
order to avoid slaughtering all the
hens.
with wheat at s100 a ton whole
sale, poultrymen are unable to pay
expenses. For the future welfare of
the laboring man. it is necessary to
protect the poultry industry. Eggs
at 40 cents a dozen are much cheap
er than meat at 20 cents a pound.
Something must be done immed-
lately to save the industry for the fut-
ure benefit of mankind. Jobbers are
making their living out of butter,
eggs and cheese. If the poultry are
all killed, jobbers will have no oppor-
tunity TO make a living next year.
Poultrymen are actually killing baby
chicks to avoid feeding them.
Something must be done immed-
lately. Heroic measures are justif-
led"
