Here's a cheerful cheep from a cricket back up the watershed of the unsettled Seattle, Wash-Seattle- Wash is good. Just to prevent any of the girls from going entirely wrong, the address is withheld some fellow with a like streak of humor, killed or drowned seventeen wives, part wives and girls who thought they were. And will you believe it, croppy- haired kids, they actually sent him to the penitentiary for it? You will note that this splendid fellow, with utter disregard for the waste of money, sends this missive to the postmaster. without even a stamp enclosed, in. structing him to hand this advertise ment for a cheap wife to the Daily Newspaper Company, so they will put his little piece in the paper, and gives his "phony" address, so he can catch some cheap woman with little mon- ey. Funny, like dead mans repartee. This bugs name is given as U. E. Gadd." He says Arizona is his native state-he's a liar-Arizona don't raise that breed, unless it happens to be cross between rattlesnake and a skunk. He says he weighs 225 pounds --wuff, what his carcass must contain; he is 5 feet and II inches high--sister Kate get the rake. He has some mon- ey and a good business. Pete, turn the bull in the protected pasture.

 What you have to do," George said, lis to wrap around stick cloth on which has been sprinkled sulphur. Touch a match to the cloth and hold it under the chickens head. In mo- ment they will fall over. Then you can take up an armful of them without any noise from them"
 Schenck said he has neighbor who keeps hens and he's going to try the plan out. If he is caught at it, he said, he will plead as did an old darkey in a similar case-"irresistable im- pulse."
 Father c. Vabre while in The Sun office Friday, told of college profess or who asked his pupils one day how the class resembled a Ford car.
 A precocious pupil replied that it was because the crank was out in front.
 "Very good" said the professor, ''but the principal resemblance is in the fact that all the nuts are in place"
