A draper la bemoaning the loss of a. customer. A lady was In the shop on Saturday and bought some goods. "How much Is ltt" "Two shillings." "Dear me I One-and-nlnepence Is all I have with me. Cannot you let me have It for that?" "Really, I could not," said the dra per, "but you can pay the next time you are In." "Oh, but suppose I should die?" laughingly Inquired the lady. "It would be a small loss," rejoined the draper, but be saw from behind the injured look the customer wore as she crept out of the door that he had made a mistake somewhere, though it did not dawn upon bim until too late. London Tit-Bits. Strength Is Calm. A life whose resources are Inexhaus tible, whose power is resistless, ought to be a peaceful life. .Tbe strong soul is always a quiet soul. There is no surer proof of power than calm. The feeble physique fidgets and flutters and is never at rest: It takes a strong man to hold still. A weak wrist can pound the piano; it is only the iron muscles of a Paderewskl or a Hot mann that can touch the keys so softly that they only murmur as in the music of a dream. "The mountains," says the psalmist, "bring peace to the peo ple"; that Is because "the strength of the hills is his also," To be filled with the strength of God is to know "the peace of God, which paaseth under standing."

Another Zeppelin raid against London and the east coast of England waB in progress Sunday. An airship is reported to have been brought down in flames north of Lon don, according to the official state ment Issued shortly after midnight The statement reads: "A number of hostile airships cross ed the east coast between 6 o'clock and midnight.

Great crowds cheered the spectacle of the burning Zeppelin as It fell In the London district. The great flare from the burning aircraft was visible for a long distance. Destruction of a Zeppelin Sunday night by the British made a total of four within a month. One was brought down the night of September 3 in the outskirts of London and two more on the night of September 23. One of the Zeppelins on the latter date set tled to earth so gently that her crew were able to escape. The command ing officer and her crew of 22 men surrendered to police constables and are still In custody. . The other crews were killed and, with few exceptions, the bodies were unrecognizably burned. Success In bringing down the raid ers in each Instance was attained vir tually in the outskirts of London and Indicates systematic and favorable strengthening of the defenses of the city against air raids. It has been as serted by the British war office that no Zeppelin has been able to inflict damage of military consequence with in the limits of London in recent months. Amsterdam, via London. Tbe mili tary critic of the Frankfurter Zeltung says conditions for Zeppelin attacks on England are much more difficult than even a year ago. The British, he says, have had time to carry their de fense measures to the highest perfec tion. . Mexican Bullet Wounds Guardsman. Boise, Idaho. A special dispatch to the Idaho Statesman from.

Tit for Tat At a dance recently a young man somowhat inferior in social position to most of those present approached an alderman's daughter "mighty su perior" sort and rather diffidently asked for the favor of a dance. The girl looked him stonily In the face a moment, then turned away with tho remark: "I'm sorry, but I'm well, rather par ticular as to whom I dance with." "Ah, Indeed," was the quiet retort. "Then we differ In that respect. I'm not a bit particular. That was why 1 asked you." Couldn't Beat Uncle HI, Uncle Hiram from Podunk was ta ken by his uephew into a downtown hashory for lunch.

Boston Transcript When You Speak of Preparedness REMEMBER, HOSTETTER'S Stomach Bitters stands out very ef fectively as a bulwark against liver or diges tive troubles, general weakness and malaria Ooa't Experiment. Get Hostettsr's Forest. Notes. One ton of coniferous wood waste will produce from 16 to 26 gallons of 95 per cent pure alcohol. - The farm woodlots of the United States contain about 10 per cent of the total standing timber in tbe country. Grazing experts of the Forest Serv ice estimate that the cost of produc ing Iambs In the northwestern states is $1.82 per head. Los Angeles was tbe first city on tbe west coast to establish a vacation camp on the national forests. The stand of timber on the two great national forests in Alaska 1b es timated by the forest service as over 70 billion board feet, while the annual growth will, It Is said, produce pulp wood alone enough for the manufac ture of 3,000 tons of wood pulp a day. The state of Washington consumes 225 cubic feet of wood per capita an nually, which Is more than twice the average consumption for the United States and six and a quarter times the average for Germany, Over 98 per cent of the trees planted by the forest service this spring af Hebo, Tillamook County, Oregon, on the Sluslaw national forest, - are still living. This has been the most sue cessful planting operation in the for ests of the northwest. The Unknowable City. Brooklyn Is the Asia of the cities: huge, mysterious, engulfing. From Greenport to Brighton, from the Nar rows to East New York, it encom passes a land and a people too large for one mind to comprehend. Many may know a few parts of it, like Ful ton street, where all the clocks tell different time and the roar of traffic deafens the traveler from Manhattan. A few may know many parts of It; these mortals are chronic movers or else veteran trolley conductors. But a man may know a thousand places In Brooklyn and yet not boast that he knows It all or even a fat fraction of It New York, Sun. , Good Advice. A minister was questioning his Sun day school concerning the story ol Eutychus. the young man who, listen ing to the preaching of the Apostle Paul, fell asleep, and, falling out of a window, was taken up dead. "What," he asked, "do we learn from this solemn event?" The reply from a little girl came: "Please, sir, ministers should learn not to preach too long sermons." Exchange.

The hop market "Is steadily gaining In strength, with en largement of the Eastern demand, Buying is still confined chiefly to Cal ifornia for some reason that the deal ers here do not understand, but they believe that the inquiry wll soon be turned this way. It was reported that two Eugene lots, those of Anderson, 65 baleB, and Hardy, 80 bales, had been bought by T. A. Livesley & Co. at 11 and 11 cents. There were also reports of 12 cents being offered In this state. Twelve cents was freely bid lnWest- ern Washington, but growers woulaH not sen. in the Yakima section better than 13 cents was offered during the day. The Shadbolt lot of 150 bales of Yaklmas was sold. The California market held strong at 16 cents for the best hops and buying was heavy. Proctor purchased 1200 bales and Wolf 300 bales at this Drice. Among the Sonoma and Mendocino lots sold at 16 cents were: McCutch eon, 140 bales; Dick Hail, 280 bales; Peterson, 80 bales; Williamson, 100 bales; Siemer Bros., 260 bales; Sto vey, 150 bales. Wolf purchased 300 bales of Yolos at 11H cents and 100 Dales of Buttes. Buyers offered 12 cent options on Sacrarj entos. - Market Conditions at Tacoma. Tacoma. For the fourth time In 10 days eggs are to advance and the price for fresh ranch eggs, will be 41 cents. General conditions are said to be responsible for the rapid rise in egg prices. Dealers report light egg receipts with steady demand. Eastern flour advanc d 20 cents a barrel and the advance L expected to reach here in a day or so. With the continued advance of flour, bread prices may be expected to go up. In Tacoma this la likely to take the form of smaller loaves. Peaches and cantaloupes hold well. A car of Elberta peaches snowed up, but is expected to be the last whole car. " Late Crawfords and other late varieties will gradually finish off the peacn season. Cantaloupes are meeting with a lighter demand and the price Is steady at $1 a crate. Only a few dealers have any watermelons on hand and there seems to be no demand for them. Ca sabas are practically off the market. Plenty of grapes continue to be the feature of the market Tomatoes are growing scarcer and the price ad vanced to. 60 cents. Sweet potatoes aecunea to z cents a pound. Dealers say it is hard to estimate the potato crop this year but the general opinion is that potatoes will be high. The local crop Is good, and no Yakima potatoes are being Import ed. Give Statistics on Dyestuffa ' Washington. A detailed analysis of dyestuffs imported during the year prior to the outbreak of the war was made public by the bureau of for eign and domestio commerce to aid American manufacturers In their ef forts to supply the dye which formerly came from Germany. The figures show that the total consumption of the synthetlo dyes in the fiscal year 1913 14 exceeded 29,000 tons. With reports of federal investigators American dye makers will be able to regulate their output Final Jute Forecast 8,300,000 Bales. The Indian lute crop for the 1916-1917 season will be 8,300,000 bales, according to the figures announ ced by the British-Indian authorities. This Is about 12 per cent larger than the 1915-1916 crop. The first forecast which was made last July, placed the probnble yield at about 8,150,000 bales. While the outturn will In all likelihood be in excess of the estimates made a couple of months ago, the size of the crop Is a disappointment because last season's yield was the smallest In years and the carry-over is considered negligible.
