In the iiioinjiiy the shoes were jione, but the tobacco was untouched, Howard Kelts was aroused during the nihl by the row iimile by his dojr and "itlucher," who was spending the nijrht there, but supM(sinir that the twi were ju-l making a family row. made them be quiet. In the forenoon, however, when Mis. ltetts bejan prep arations for the midday meal and went to the cupboard, like "Mother j Hubbard," it was bare.

The identity of the seven young ladies who will jro to Seattle, Port land and to the old Knlish city of Vi ouvcr nt the expense of Tho Tribune is not disclosed as yet. The contestants and tlieir friends are busy however, and thia great viioulion trin will come as n fitting climax to some hard early summer effort. With the customary facility of (he iijrila printer, yesterday's paper was made to say that a "bevy of old maids" would attend tho exposition. Well, what the writer wrote was a "bevy of fair maids." Wouldn't Hint jur youf However, we don't euro if every girl there is an old maid, wo like that kind, but for that matter we liko 'ein nil, nnd The Trib will hnve the satisfaction of knowinj: that it has spent its money for (be most popular women in southern Oregon or north ern California, and they don't make 'em any better nnywbeie.
