aged couple went to the office to see
him. the woman entering first. In a
moment she ran out, the teara stream
ing from her eyes and . gasping for
breath.
"What's that Jim -devil working In the
corner of the room?" she managed to
articulate. ,
Her husband, filled with curiosity and
desirous of demonstrating his courage
In the presence of - his better half,
dashed into ihe room to investigate, and
went up against the formaldehyde
fumes. The subtle fumes entered his
nostrils at a Lou Dillon gait, permeated
the cavitiea of bis cranium and started
a small Niagara from his eyes. He fell
back upon the skirmish line in the hall
and went through a series of motions
with his hands as if slgssgglng with
a heliograph for reenforcements on the
enemy's flank. ,
Frederick Lightning Prasp, the duly
accredited agent of Cupid at the court
house, witnessed the performance and
rushed into the room to see who had hit
the man and bis wife. He came out
quickly and his hazel, orbs Irrigated' th4
hallway for about SO minutes. It Is
said that he learned who hit Billy Pat
terson and was overcome with Joy at
accomplishing . what the Sherloc
Holmeses of decades had striven in vain
to discover. Prasp got very busy after
ward and aent everybody he could to the
health officer's room on some pretext or
other.

see and had to feel his wsy out of the
room. Attorney J. II. Hltchtngs came In
at the back door of the building and waa
told a lady was in the room waiting to
see him. He entered with alacrity.
When he emerged he was so rattled that
he kept right on through the hall and
left the courthouse by the front en
trance without transacting any business
whatever. . ..
Dr. Evans returned at this Juncture
and, learning what had happened, locked
the door of his room. He said he was
testing a new fumlgator.
"It's all right." 1 came a mighty chorus
from the hallway.

SPECULATION AS
BAD AS THE DICE
"Attorney Halley of Pendleton, cas
top gambling all right," remarked John
U, Sharpstetn. a prominent Walla Walla
lawyer, who is In Portland today, "but
what is he going to gain? Men will
gamble and if they cannot do it in one
way they will In Jhother. I cannot see
where it is any worse for them to stake
their money on the turn of a card,
tns speea or a norse or a shales of a
dice, than It is to speculate In stocks or
real estate. One is as much a gamble
as the other."
Mr. Sharpateln is an enbtuslastlo base
ball fan and was manager of the Walla
Walla team in 101 and lo:. Last year
the team under another management
failed. Mr. Sharpstetn is of the opin
ion that a team 'of semi-professional
nsture, and not too high class, would
prove a sucoess this season. "Both
Boise and Spokane want to train in
Walla Walla this spring." he added, "and
this would give the local nine plenty of
opportunity to get into practice. My
business will not permit me to take an
active part in baseball this year." ,

Though White fought for a time wltb
the strength of a maniac, he was fin

charge against him he was soon re
leased, as he Is known to be harmless

A member of the craft, who, occupy

members of the hat trade on the books

Four years ago the "bell" waa more
pronounced, and five years before that
the body was straight up and down.
"It goes from straight to bell and back
again from bell to straight," explained
our obliging informant, who could recall

From the Kansas City Times.
Thomas a. Smith, who was known
as "Blind Tom." died at the city hospi
tal recently from the effects of mor
phine poisoning. Smith, or "Blind Tom,"
as he was called, had worked for J. J.
Maloney at Nineteenth and Vine streets
for .the last six or seven years.
"Smith was a remarkable man," said
Mr. Maloney. "Although totally; blled.
be was a mighty useful man around the
office. Hla series of touch was wonder
ful.. He could make change ln both pa
per and silver money by the sense of
touch. It wss impossible to fool him.
AU of his senses were acute and his
memory was remarkable. He knew
every bad roadway in town; he vcould
tell all of the Vina street cars by ths
sound of their wheels. . He walked all
over town with nothing but a cane to
guide him. He could find his way anywhere."

A qia!nt story is told of a Melbourne
bachelor parson of Welsh parentage and
sympathies. He takes off hla clerical
hat when the band plays "Men of Har

of every Taffy In his district. Also, ho
is a warm denouncer of the "gambling

Parents whs want baby named after a
racehorse cannot persuade- him to per
form the ceremony, not if they offer him
a double fee. He is always on the alert
to detect a turfy name. The other day
hla suspicions were aroused by a father
who came along to book his services for
ths christening of a male Infant. A
weird, peculiar Christian . name, full of
consonants and splutters, was submit
ted to the parson for approval, and he
did not approve, although the applicant
was a Welshman,, after his own heart.
"It's the name of a racehorse, I'm sura,"
said ths parson, "and I'll not degrade the
child by giving It to him." In a tons
of sorrowful astonishment the man re
plied: "Why, sir, that name is Welsh
