THE IMPORTANCE OF SMALL THINGS.
THE OLD PROVERB nays "Dospiso not mriall things," and some one
added, "for the smallest too has tho largest corn." There iB an exam
ple of tho real worth of trifles in the case of Samuel Drumhollor of
Walla Walla, Ho had a note or account for Canadian lands coining due,
the same boing hold by a Spokane bank. Ho wired tho bank asking for
five days' extension on tlio time of payinont, and received a rojdy that ho could
have "sixty" days. About a week later tho 8joluine bank brought suit for
tho sum. As soon as this suit was brought, the Boyer-Baker bank of Walla
Walla brought suit for 112,000, and an Athena man, thinking Drumhllcr was
"all in;" also sued for $5000.
Whon' those suits were brought, Mr. Dnunhollor was of courso very much
Surprised, as all had been brought without any notice to him or domand on him
for paymonti He at onco paid all domands, and tho suits wore dropped. It
devolopod later that the whole troublo arose over a mistake in tho telegram
sent by the Spokane bank to Drumhollor, The dispatch, Instead of roading
"sixty" days, should havo read "six," tho mistake causing tho suit to be
brought, because the noto was not mot within that time. This started tho
-other suits and the roport. Just thoso two littlo lotters "ty" added on to tho
six, made the wholo troublo.
Thi fish and game commission has given Oaino Warden Finley a two months
leave of absence; a good start, and all right so far a it goes, but if it bad
been two years it would not have boon too long. This, not because it iB Fin
ley, but because it Is the game warden. Tho state of Oregon has about as
much uso for a gnnio wardou and game law officers as it has for a censor of
public morals.
Mr. Bryan has had troublo with his stomach, which causes tho Telegram to
suggest that after oil grape juico may not bo all that it is cracked up to be.
Wonder if this means that ho should havo had tho juico fermented t
The Ohio Stato Orange has already started tho campaign for William J.
Bryan for president In 11)10. There will como a time when this will ceaso; but
it will only lie when dimming years or ruthless deuth lius mado tho muu no
longer a possibility.
;-l
Tacoma's city council has reduced tho light rates 10 per emit. This will bo
a saving of about t- for each consumer. Not a largo amount, but in the aggre
gate an immense sum,
Tho Nobel prlz.o has been awarded Senator Root for his work as ponco-mak-or
In Cula If the senator con patch up peace In tho Republican party, which
ho is striving valiantly to do, he will bo doing something to bo entitled to hold
the prize and perhaps get another and larger one.
Pennsylvania standpatters, who are working for tho roelectiou of Senator
Boies Fen roue, are presenting tho peculiar plea that If he Is ro-eloctod and the
senate becomes Republican ho will, by the rulo of seniority, become the chair
man of tho film nee committee, easily tho most important committee of tho
sennte. Borne folks can find a reason,, or rather an excuse, for any old thing.

THE CHRISTMAS DINNER.
In spite of the fact that the word
dysiMipsia means lltorally bad cook, It
will not be ftiir for many to lay the
blame on the cook if they begin the
Christmas dinner with littlo apatite
and end It with distress or nausea. It
may not be fair tir any to do that lot
us hopo so for the ease of the cook I
The dlmaso dyspepsia indicates a bad
stomach, that is a weak stomach, rather
than a bad took and for weak stomach
there I nothing else eipial to Hood 'a
Sarnaprilla. It gives tho stomach vig
or and tone, cure dyspepsia, creates
appetite, and makes eating the pleasurs
It should be.

proven case of alibi.

Look, Mother! If Tongue Is Coated,
Give "California Syrup of Figs"
to Clean tho Bowels.
Mother! Your child isn't naturally
cross and peevish. See if the tongue is
coated; this is a sure sign its little
stomach, liver and bowels need a cleans
ing at once,
When listless, pale, feverish, full of
cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn't
eat, sleep or act naturally, has stomach
ache, diarrhoea, remember, a gentle liv
er and bowel cleansing should always
be the first treatment given.
Nothing equals "California Syrup of
Figs" for children's ills; give a tea
spoonful, and in a few hours all the
foul waste, sour bile and fermonting
food which iB clogged in the bowels
passes out of the system, and you have
a well and playful child again. All
children love this harmless, delicious
"fruit laxative," and it never fails to
effect a good "inside" cleansing. Di
rections for babies, children of all ages
and grown-ups are plainly on the bottle.
Keep it handy in your home. A little
given today saves a sick child tomor
row, but get the genuine. Ask your
druggist for a 50-cont bottle of "Cali
fornia Syrup of Figs," then look and
see that it is made by the "California
Fig Syrup Company." Counterfeits are
being sold here. Don't be fooled.

must be tolerated, at least through these
