Seattle, Wash.. Oit. 24. The port

plans that frlendH of the port project,
for which bonds in oxcchh of $,000,000
have been nuthorlz-l. in criticising

Is now all Ruen work.
Robert Bridget, a member of the
eornmi.t.slon, returned from Olympia
this t-'k wlth-tiie report that the
- Htato officials who were watehlng the
work on the Seattle port were of the
opinion thnt the eommlMtiion wa Mpeml
Iiir too rnui h money and putting out,
too many bond l.s'sues. Mr. Urldgea
went to the capital to confer with the
state finance board with a view to Ret

already been taken by the tstate from
a bond broker.
Ho Tree Municipal Qolf Linkt.
ObJ'ftlona to a fee for use of the
municipal Rolf links soon to be opened
has not moved the park board to change
its announcement that it would charge
a fe. This ratted a storm of pro
tests, in which it was stated that all
municipal links In the large cities were
absolutely free, on the ground that it
would be. as reasonable for the par
board to charfce for the use of the ten
nis courts In the, public parks. One
taxpayer suggested that to get a re
turn for tliu money spent in building
boulevards open only to pleasure traf
fic; automobiles uting these thorough
fares be. charged a fee.
Mayor Gill gave it us his opinion
thnt at least the municipal links should
v. mi Saturdays. Sundays and
holiday. While the mayor was in
California on business the park board ;
gave out a statement that tho links I
would be operated on the fee systen;
aa long, as ttic receipts from a reason-I
able fee will maintain them, and when
the links fail to be self supporting they
will be closed.

influencing the incoming legislature
to pare the appropriations at the ses
sion next winter. Governor Lister era
phaslxed this point in two speeches
he made in this city for the Democratic
party Wednesday night. He said the
big issue in the election of the next
i.,,i.i,iiiir. i conomv. He said he
wanted men elected us representatives
and senators regardless of party affili
ations, men who would cooperate with
him in curtailing the state's expenses,
contending that a hostile legislature
might easily upset the administration's
plans to lighten the burden of the tax
payers. Two years ago he said the legislature
made appropriations of $20,000,000. and
that with the use of the veto he was
able only to cut this sum down to
$15,000,000.

London, Oct. 2 1. " 'K carn't sleep,'
the maid who makes my bed told me.
Her brother is in one of the hospitals
here, nerve broken. There isnt' a mark
on him. "but "he has Rone to pieces. The
maid whtaipers quietly in the corners.
R used. to be such a fine boy."
she said. "Sold flahers, "e did, at Co

to o on about his roses "
The nice bov, it seems, joined the
army because his fclrl liked anoiner fel
low too well. He went through that
frightful first week of the British
troops without weakness. For eight
days not one of his company had a
rhance to take off his boots. When
they reached the front, after three
davs spent continually in boats or on
trains, they marched 54 miles in two
davs. Then they lay In trenches tin

one was green at tne game, ai im
they got a chance with the bayonet.
fid you ever regard bayonet close

pointed ro.i of steel is devised to be
thrust thtough the soft, yielding vitals
of a man'.' '
" E said. ' my maid told me, snif
fling, "that e stuck it at two or three
".ermans In that charge, but e don t
think e hit anybody until he got a big
Herman cornered and began jabbing at

dropped 'is gun. And Alfred, 'e stuck

just like 'e was lifting hay on is fork.
And then he saw the German was try

The soft hearted flower merchant
threw himself on his knees beside the
'.'big. fat German'" and begged the poor
devil to forgive him. He flurp his
mow useless gun on the ground, th
bayonet bent like copper wire. The
Germs n was screaming. Even above
the noise of battle Albert could hear
those screams.
H hears them yet. At night he
in feels the yielding renistnnce of
that German's soft, white body as the
steel goes through bun. and hears the
grinding cry with which he died."
"The doctor says," my maid tc!ls me,
-"that Albert is done for. 'E'll never be
