O, Sextant! doant you know our lungs

In wblcb case It smels orful wua

And wrings the Bel and toles It, and
sweeps paths;
And for these servaces gits $100 per

Wlch them that thinks deer let em
try it:
Glttln up before starlite In all weth
ers, and
Klndlin flers when the wether Is as
cold
As zero, and like as not green wood
tor klndlins,
(I wouldn't be hlerd to do It for no
some) ;
But But, O Sextant, there are one
kermoddlty
Wuth more than gold which dont cost
nutlilu; '
V.'uth more than anything except
the Sole of Man!
I mean pewer Are, Sextant, I mean
pewer Are!
O It Is plenty out o dores, so plenty it

Scarce as bankblls when ajunts beg

And sum halnt none, and sum alnt

But every one of em brethes In ana

Say 50 times a minute, or 1 million
a hnlf breths an hour;
Now how long will a cherch full of

I ask you; say fifteen minutes, and

And then agin and so on, till each has

undoubtedly will prove an effective
magnate to attract eastern visitors
to this part of the country in 1915.
We In the PaClfic Northwest should
be prepared for a great influx cf very
desirable visitors in 1915, and, more
over, we should take steps to Increase
that number. I feel that the Lewis
ton exposition undoubtedly will be
one move by way of preparation. '
