Spokane Will Hold Sportsmen's and
Tourist's Fair.
Spokane. Wash. The first Inland
Empire Sportsmen's & Tourists'
Fair is likely to see an unusual exhi
bition of game fish from the district.
The Diamond lee & Fuel company of
Spokane has undertaken to freeze
specimens of fish in solid blocks of
ice for exhibition entirely free of
charge, which gives the resort mana
gers an exceptional chance to show
the types of fish that visitors may
expect to capture. Tills feature of
the show promises to be exceptionally
interesting. The number of exhibi
tors from outside of the city is now
thirty, which with the exhibits from
the dealers promises to exhaust all
the space available in the assembly
rooms of the chamber of commerce.
The fair takes place on April 15-16-17,
and if it meets with the measure
of success now promised it is believ
ed an annual show on a much larger
scale will be demanded.

WATUHID HER SMALL CKAN3E
Extravagance a Fault That Could
Not Be Truthfully Ascribed
to Hetty Green.
Some years ago Hetty Green paid a
visit, with her daughter Sylvia, to the
Connecticut village of Pomfrct. They
stayed at an Inn conducted by Miss
Vinton. On the evening of her urrlval
Mrs. Green sent Sylvia to the attic
for a packet of love letters which
Sylvia had that day received from vari
ous admirers who had never seen her
and who "loved her for herself alone."
The room they had taken was on the
top floor, because Mrs. Green believed
that n syndicate had been formed to
kidnap her daughter nnd herself for
the sake of their wealth. The letters
she rend nlnnd for the diversion of
the other feminine guests assembled
befi it the tt e.
When the day eatae to depart It was
rainy.
"How milch will It cost If Sylvia nnd
I use your enrrlage to the station?"
Mrs. Green said to Miss Vinton.
"Twenty-five cents. But It's nn open
buckhonrd and you'd get wet."
"How much would It cost If we used
the station wagon?
"Fifty cents."
Mrs. Green looked at Sylvia's he
draggled bonnet nnd dress and then nt
her own clothing.
"Well, Sylvia, I guess we hnven't
got anything on that the rain would
hurt. I guess we'll take your buck
board, Miss Vinton."

Ancient Rome Had Strike.
On the word of a decipherer of an
cient records there was, In the year
'Mi It. ('., a strike of the musicians'
union In Home. The officials of Home.
It appears, thought that the musicians
should play without pay at a forthcom
ing festival in honor of Jupiter. The
musicians thought otherwise, nnd al
though Rome, then engaged In one of
I he Satnnltt wars, had little money to
spend for music, declined not to "do
their bit" by performing without pay.
Apparently the argument that they
were really playing for Jupiter himself
was tried without effect. So the city
ntllclnls decided on an appeal to public
opinion; they evolved n stratagem by
which they decoyed the striking mu
sicians to the scene of the festival, nnd.
with all Home looking ex;, i tniitly tit
them, the musician changed their
minds nnd there was "music ils usual."
