the head, and he was fixing to kill
it. ] begged him to let me have it,

Won't you move over just a wee bit
and let your loving old cousin chat
a little in your lovely corner, as I
am an old cousin. 1 have been a

corn, potatoes and Strawberries. Our
part of the country is very level and
well adapted to cultivation, with
grand success. Many varieties can
be raised. 1 certainly think a large
part of our time here ought to be

Aunt Lizzie for being slow, or chop

psychology of the woman with
whom he is proposing to spend the

that women are queer, and let's it

that woman was a strange, mystic

Compared to the theory that
woman is incomprehensible, the dis

about the feminine she has fur

has thrown over all his mistakes in

even a prophet can foretell what a

slogans that are handed down from
father to son, and because it is
easier to repeat a catch word than
it is to think out the truth for your
self, most men accept them as Cos
pei, and make no effort to get really
acquainted with the women to whom
they are married.

ALF RUDE KILLED,

ALI Rude, resident of this vi

Saturday morning near Daring
ton when he was run over by a
railway "speeder" on which he
had been riding, practically sew
ering both legs, and fracturing
one shoulder. He was taken to an
Arlington hospital where he died
at 700 O'Clock a. m. Mr.. Rude
was one of party attending a
dance at Darlington. He got off
the "speeder" to throw a switch
and was run over. No effort APP
parently was made to staunch the
flow of blood and he literally bled
to death in the hour that was re-
quired to convey him to the hos
pital.
w. ID. Garvm and ". Zimmer-
man drove up in the latter's car
and brought the remains here for
burial. The funeral was held Mon
day at the Lutheran church, the
Rev. Ager having charge. Inter
ment was made at the island ceme-

through the brush The hunter
was certain that the animal was
wounded and dove into the brush
after him. But he did not expect
to see the animal turn the tables
and turn hunter. He ran right
onto the animal coming his way
and the big spread Of horns look
ed like the business end of mad
moose. He raised the gun and
finding that the gun only snapped,
decided that it was no disgrace to
run. Visions of being tossed by
those horns and ripped and slash
ed by pointed hooves urged him to
Chamber onto the quarter deck of a
stump where he could survey the
scene with safety. Having good
lungs he attracted the attention Of
two Seattle hunters who came and
finished the buck with a shot gun.
The animal weighed about 200
pounds when dressed and had a
wonderful head. Three of Mr..
Hills shots struck, one passing
through an ear, a second through
the skin under the neck and the
,taird through the hind quarters,

for seeking safety, as he puts

The following clipping is taken
from a Port Angeles newspaper
"Mrs. j. Il. Willoughby receiv.
ed injuries on Sunday, Sep.
tcmbcr 10th, that may prove
serious when she was hit by
u runaway ear. She had started
to cross the street at Front and
Lincoln whc she saw car ap-
preaching. Msr. Willoughby did
not notice that there was no driv-
er in the ear but stepped back
upon the curb for safety. The car
was coming at such rate of
speed that the curb did not halt
its course and it hit Mrs. Will
oughby, knocking her down. The
car was parked near Front and
Lincoln with the engine running
and in some way worked itself in
to high gear. Mrs. Willoughby is
now at the home of Mrs. Il. Y.
Haynes at Front and Peabody"
Mrs. Willoughby is the mother
of Maurice Dunsford Of Ellisport.
Latest reports are to the effect
that although she is bruised in %
places about the head and body,
no bones were broken and she is
recovering nicely.
