KALAMA GETS BITULITHIC
Progressive Washington City Secures
High-Grade Paving
Kalama, Washington, has recently
added to the rapidly increasing list
of progressive cities by making an
award for Bitulithic, the durable, ec
onomical paving.
Thorough investigation on tha
merits of this paving, which is the
result of scientific experiment and the
severest tests, resulted in corrobora
tion of claims of its friends as to its
desirability in every way, and con
vinced the taxpayers of Kalama that
their interests would best be served
by securing Bitulithic paving.
The constantly increasing area of
Bitulithic paving throughout the
Northwest is convincing proof of its
popularity,
OSTEOPATHIC VICTORY
American Medical Association Jour
nal Discusses Relation of Pos
ture to Efficiency According
to Osteopathic Idea
It is Goldwaith s belief that the
way in which our bodies are used,
or the attitudes assumed in the per
formance of all that goes to make up
the routine of life, is of greater im
portance than is commonly supposed.
To stand erect, to walk or move eas
ily, to have the various parts of the
body so perfectly adjusted that easy
balance and graceful use must result,
is to be desired for reasons of far
greater importance than the esthetic.
Such elements are of absolute im
portance for perfect health and the
fullest economic efficiency, since use
of the body in proper poise insures
the least friction with consequently
the greatest amount of energy avail
able for whatever may be required by
the individual. This is of importance
not only because of the framework
of the body, but because of the ef
fect which it must have on the body
as a whole. The human organism re
sembles in many ways a delicately
balanced machine made up of many
parts, each related to the others, and
that whih we call perfect health is
simply the proper corelation of all of
these many parts. As a machine, it
is intended for use, and when work
ing rightly there is the minimum of
friction, and consequently the efficien
cy of the individual is the greatest
that is possible. Anything which re
sults in a departure from this core
lation or balance means strain or
friction and represents a distinct waste
of energy so that the efficiency is les
sened. Under such conditions some
one part may be, and usually is,
strained more than the others, but
it must be remembered, nevertheless,
that no one part can be strained with
out affecting the whole. Journal A.
M. A., Dec. 25, '09.
Osteopathy keeps the machine in
order.

OLD CALEB.
I.
Josh and me they sent for quickly
As a neighbor sometimes will;
For poor old Caleb lay a dying
In his house upon the hill.
Stern and selfish was the old man
Upright, proud and honest tho;
Wouldn't cheat a man a copper,
Deemed it was a sin to owe.
Quite religious, too, was Caleb,
Working but six days in seven,
Yet he never shared folk s troubles
Nor yet pointed them to Heaven.
II
Soft the breeze came thru' the window
And the muslin curtains swayed:
Caleb's lips were moving slowly,
So I was most sure he prayed.
Then I heard in broken accents
"Hard to die so sweet to live;"
Ah, how humble the petition
"Lord forgive, as we forgive!"
"Oh I wish, ' said the remorseful,
Speaking to us and his wife,
While the labored breath came slow
er "Wish I'd done more good in
life!"
III.
In the solemn, deepening twilight
Walked we on our homeward way;
Each one greatly cogitating
On the happenings of the day.
And Josh spoke, said he, "Samantha,
Speaking of how Caleb died,
His regrets were not that riches,
Pleasure, power had been denied,
Or that life was hard and grinding,
He just wished Tie'd done more good
To the people round about him,
As most anybody could.''
IV.
"Life is loving, life is giving,
Oh a pity 'tis," said I, -"That
he didn't learn this lesson
Long before he came to die!"

MARY
SIMMONS
By T. L. BURBANK
1 was the only unmarried man in
the settlement and 1 was powerful lone
some. When evenin' come on each
family got under their own roof and
sot around the open adobe fireplaces
and was comfortable. I didn't have no
fireside and if I'd got one I'd had to
set" by it alone, not havin' any wife or
children. Consequences was I was
thinkin' o' diggin' out when sumpin
happened to keep me.
I was ridin' along a road when 1
seen a gal on horseback ahead o' me.
I caught up with her and said. "How
de," and "It's a fine day," and neigh
borly things like that. She was good
lookin' and cottoned to me to onct,
askin' me where 1 come from, where 1
was goin' and all that. I tole her I'd
come from the settlement and I was
goen arter some hosses that wus need
ed there and I'd bought 'spectin' to
make a reasonable profit on 'em.
Waal, we talked a lot, and 1 got
kind a confidential. I told her that 1
was alone In the world and livin'
among married people. She allowed it
was kind a lonesome livin' alone. I
axed her if that was her fix and she
allowed it was. We got thicker and
thicker, and at last I up and fired a
question at her if she would hitch onter
me and set up a home with me.
She said it was kind o' suddent, but
wa'n't a bad idee, and she'd think it
over. She was liyin' with an aunt on
a sheep ranch and was goin' there
then. If I'd wait a spell she might
decide to double up, and if she did I'd
hear from her. When we come to the
cross roads we separated and 1 went
on and bought my hosses.
Comin' back with a dozen hosses, 1
brought some men with me, well
armed, for boss thieves was mighty
thick thereabouts, and I didn't know
what might happen. Sure enough,
when we got to the crossroads, lookin'
down the road we crossed, we saw a
lot o' men gallopin' toward us. But
we was too quick for 'em and reached
a wood before they could git near us,
and in there we had the advantage
over 'em, for we could see 'em and
they couldn't see us. So we got our
hosses away.
The day arter 1 got back Mary Sim
mons, the gal I overhauled on the
road, come into the settlement and
when she found me said she'd been
thinkin' o' my proposition and was
favorably inclined to it. but it seemed
onnatural to make up with a man on
such a small acquaintance, and she
jist thort that if she could get some
sort of a job in the settlement for
awhile so's we could do some courtin'
it would be all right. I tole her the
only thing I knowed there was plenty
of washin'. and she said she was a
good washer and ironer. So I got
board for her at Mrs Finnegan's. she
payin' her own board and keepin' in
dependent. There had been so much boss stealln'
goin' on that we concluded to keep all
the hosses in the settlement in one
barn when not usin' 'era. and we
wouldn't keep 'em in any one barn
two nights runnin'. We thort that in
that way we'd keep the thieves from
findin' jist where the hosses was and
they wouldn't know where to go to
get 'em. But one night they run in
on us and made straight for the barn
where the hosses was. There hap
pened to be only six hosses in the set
tlement that night, but the thieves got
'em all.
There wasn't no more hosses tooken
for ten days, and then we lost anoth
er lot. the thieves goin', as before, to
the barn they was In. We knowed
that they knowed where the hosses
was. 'cause none o' the men near any
of the other hosses seen or heered any
thing of 'em. How they'd come to
find out where we kep' the stock no
body could imagine. There wasn't no
body in the settlement but owned
some stock theirselves, and they
wasn't likely to give information to
rustlers about 'em.
I. bein' some'at in the hoss tradln"
line and havin' lost some hosses. al
lowed I'd go and get some more. I
seen Mary the night afore 1 went and
got her to promise that when I got
back she'd marry me. So 1 went
awa"y feelin' better'n I'd felt for a long
while.
Waal, I bought my hosses and start
ed hack alone with 'em. 'cause 1
couldn't get no one to come with me.
I allowed I'd sleep in the stable with
'em till the stealln' was over and get
a bead on one on 'em. When I got
near the crossroads 1 sor a woman
there, and when 1 come near her who
should it be but my promised bride.
I didn't have time to ask her what
she was doin' there when some men
rode up from different places, and
Mary said to me, motionin' to one on
'em:
"Allow me to introduce my hus
band." "And allow me." said the feller, "to
relieve you of your hosses."
They tuk the whole lot of 'em, and
Mary rode away with em too. I
didn't keer so much for the stock, but
to be treated that away by the wom
an I expected to marry was like plzen.
Of course It was Mary, in league
witb the thieves, who got word to 'em
just where the animals was kepi every
night. As 1 rode on to the settlement
bimehy I begun to get mad. When
I got there I got up a posse to hunt
them rustlers often tho face of the
earth And I kep' my word. We kill
ed all of 'em but Mary, our l made
ber a widder with ray own band.
Tedious Tasks.
A couple of wayfarers stood for an
hour or more in front of a market
watching employees clean fish.
"Ain't that the limit?" exclaimed oue
"Can you think of anything worse than
a jol like that?"
"Sure. I can," the other replied.
"That ain't half as bad as scaling the
Alps." Judge.
