ON THE ROAD TO ROSY BAY.
By Will L. Yimrher.
Beside the hill and through tlie woods
With many a graceful bend,
Among the golden fields of wheat,
With undulating trend,
So runs the road that's lwrdered
With roses, pink and gay,
And with me rides a lassie,
On the road to Itosy Bay.
We toil the hills, up-going,
And we coast them, coining down ;
We skirt the creek that tumbles
On its rocky way to town.
Sometimes we wish the village
Were farther yet away.
As we wheel—myself and lassie —
On the road to ltosv Bay.
A squirrel sits upon a log
And lifts his cunning paws.
The rascal wonders—so it seems—
At what can be the cause
For passing him without n word,
He doesn't know—the jay—
I'm courting that sweet lassie
On the road to Rosy Ray.
The years will come, the years will go.
And many another road
We'll wheel along—with joy, I hope—
And if there is a load
Of anything but happiness,
I'll carry it away,
And bless her for her answer,
On the road to Rosy Ray.
WAY TO CURE DRUNKENNESS.
In Persia the Drunkard's Ear ls Nailed to the
Sidewalk.
"There is only one«Ußtom in our
country which I would like to see
established in America, and that is the
custom of dealing with drunkards,"
said Isaac Yohannen, a Persian mis
sionary, who lectured to a large audi
ence at the Norwegian Lutheran
Church last evening, notes the Sioux
City Journal. "In our country when
a man gets drunk we take him and
nail him to the sidewalk, driving the
apikes through his ears. Then when
other people come along they spit in
his face and kick him until he is sober.
I think tbis method would do a great
deal of good in America, because you
have more saloons than in Persia, tlie
cbief beverage being home made wine.
They don't even know what beer is.
" Our officials have several ways of
making prisoners confess to crimes,"
said Mr. Yohannen. "The favorite
method is to take them on a stand,
around which all the people of the
town gather, and then put out one
eye. If the crime is not very great an
arm is cut off or a leg severed. If it is
only a trial offense, probably an ear is
sacrificed. Very often innocent people
are subjected to these torments, but it
cannot be helped.
" The Persians very seldom hang a
man for crime. If he kills another he
is fined sls and allowed to go. If he
kills ten or a dozen and the people
finally decide that be ought to be put
out of the way he is hanged. But he
is not hanged as they hang men in
this country. He is banged by the
feet and a heavy weight is tied to his
bead. Then he is allowed to die. If
the accused prisoner is a woman, her
hair is shorn from her head, providing
the offense is a trivial one. If it is a
serious one she may be turned into a
room filled with mad cat* and be
scratched to death.
" Persian jails are dark cellarß and
contain no furniturd whatever. The
Government doesn't feed prisoners,
this being left to friends of the ac
cused. If he happens to have no
friends he will starve to death. Often
times when food is brought by friends
the keepers of the prison and the other
officials appropriate it, so the prisoners
have to go hungry."
Itis Scriptural Version on Love.
A California Sunday school teacher
explained to her pupils that without
love the world would be a poor place
for children and for all helpless and
infirm persons.
" Next Sunday," she said, " I want
each of you to come prepared to recite
a scriptural verse about love."
The next Sunday the children had
all prepared their verses. One had,
" Love your enemies," another," Little
children, love one another," and so on.
Finally a small boy, with red hair,
arose. He began in aloud shrill voice:
" Song of Solomon, second chapter,
fifth verse." And then he replied:
" Stay me with flagons, comfort me
with apples; for lam sick of love."
Strangers.
True Christianisy and Unselfishness
met in front of a fashionable church.
" Let us enter," said True Chris
tianity.
" But," objected Unselfishness, "we
are pew renters."
*ln rftply the other merely pointed
to thOign, " Welcome to strangers."
V That means us," said True Chris
tianity gravely, "for of a certainty
you and I are strangers here."
"CHARLIK" had business which
called him home, but " Georgie" still

THE LEGISLATURE.
Friday three ballots were taken. On
the first Oriflin, a Foster man, voted
for Files, and who had support
ed Piles changed to Foster, leaving his
total same as before at 44. Piles re
ceived 33, Sweeny 2G, Wilson 10, Jones
8, God man 7.
On the second ballot, Earles and
Harper changed from Godman to Fos
ter and Long from Jones to Sweeny,
making the totals Foster 46, Piles 33,
Sweeny 27, Wilson 10, Jones 7, God
man 5.
On the third ballot, Davis changed
to Wilson and Earles from Foster to
Piles, leaving the result: Foster 44,
Piles 34, Wilson 17, Sweeny 27, Jones
7 and Godman 7.
In the Senate Friday, the following
bills were introduced:
No. 59, by Clapp, providing for the
incorporation of associations, societies
and clubs.
No. CO, by Tucker, donating to city
of Seattle lands along the borders of
Green lake.
No. 61, by Kinnear, creating State
Board of Plumbing Examiners, to be
appoiuted by Governor, and requiring
all persons desiring to work at plumb
ing to take examination. This bill, if
passed would deprivecities of the tirat
class of power to examine plumbers,
and vest such power in the Stale. The
bourd is to consist of three practical
plumbers, to be appointed by the Gov
ernor.
No. 62, by Kinnear, giving the regi
mental commander of the State militia
a salary of $1,500 per annum.
No. 63, by Kinnear, relating to lia
bility for trespass by animals.
Pogue, of Okanogan, introduced a
lengthy memorial, asking tbe reclam
ation department of tbe government
to take favorable action on tbe mam
moth irrigation project in Okanogan
county, which has been beld up for
tbe submission of further evidence.
Tbe Okanogan project is one of the
matters which Senator Foster has been
activeiy identified, and is said to be
one of tbe most extensive irrigation
schemes ever formulated.
Senate passed tbe Rands bill creat
ing a Lewis and Clark Exposition
Commission and appropriating SIOO,-
000 for a State exhibit. In committee
of tbe whole the expected opposition
to the appropriation developed and
was thoroughly threshed out. Sena
tors Boone of Whitman and Christian
of Pierce speaking on the negative side
of the question. Tbey urged tbe re
duction of tbe appropriation to $75,-
000, but on a standing vote the mo
tion, which was made by Boone, was
defeated by a vote of twenty-ODe to
eleven.
A bill introduced in the House by
Rudene of Skagit is aimed at the trad
ing check evil. The measure proposes
to abolish tbe circulation of such
checks by prohibiting the making, ut
terance or distribution a misdemeanor,
punishable by fine or imprisonment,
or both.
It is claimed by those behind the
bill that the trading check which, by
the way, must not be confused with
the trading stamp system; itencoursges
extravagance, particularly in men
The argument is advanced that a man'
will go into a saloon or cigar store and
pay for what he orders and accept his
change in the brass currency, which is
redeemable only at the particular
store where he trades. In this way he
spends more than he originally intends
to spend and invariably more than he
can afford to spend, and, incidentally,
the country becomes flooded with what
represent the expenditnre and waste of
thousands of dollars.
Business men have waited on Mr.
Rudene and advised him of their op
position to the trading check system,
saying that it is a detriment rather
than aid to legitimate business.
The first of the bills introduced Fri
day makes the law of eminent domain
applicable to cities of the second and
third class, as well as those of the first
class. Under the existing law, all
cities, with the exception of cities of
the first class, have to bear the burden
of the cost of all local improvements
out of the general fund, as it unlawful
to assess the improvement agninst the
abutting property owners. This, it is
held, retards the development of a
community, and the amendment to
the law of eminent domain, as intro
duced, eliminates this objection.
The other bill introduced by Linds
ley exempts cities from liability for
accidents or damage to person or prop
erty arising from aocidents on streets,
alleys or other public places which
have not been improved and opened to
public travel.
The legislative board of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, which
has been in session in Olympia for sev
eral days, has adopted a resolution, re
questing Senator Fauly to withdraw
his bill regulatiog the hours of labor
of conductors, engineers, motormen,
firemen and brakemen and providing
OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON: FRIDAY MORNING, JAN. 27, 1905
penalties for working overtime, on the
ground that the matter is fully cov
ered by agreements between the rail
way companies and their employes.
The resolution of the board follows:
" WHEREAS, Senate Bill No. 17, regu
lating the hours of lal>or of railway em
ployes, introduced by Senator Pauly, is
covered by agreements between railway
companies and their employes; there
fore,
"lie it Revolted, that this legislative
hoard respectfully request Senator Pauly
to withdraw his bill and leave the ques
tion of hours of service to be adjusted
and agreed upon by the railway com
panies and their employes."
The resolution has been transmitted
to Senator Pauly on behalf of the
board by President James A. Forster
and Secretary H. A. Moore.

duced in the House Friday:

narian to SSOO per year.

appropriating $98,400 to pay principal
and interest on Normal School Fund
warrant held by him.
Very little business was transacted
Saturday other than taking a ballot
for U. S. Senator, in consequence of
the absence of so many members on
the weekly junket to down-Sound
places. The 6th ballot stood: Fos
ter 29, Piles 24, Sweeny 24, Wilson 14,
Jones T and Voorhees 7. Total voting
105; others paired or absent; changes,
Earles from Piles to Voorhees; Harper
from Foster to Voorhees.
The entire session of the Senate
occupied just two minutes' A con
current resolution introduced by Rus
sell, which passed without a dissenting
voice, provides that a railroad com
mission bill shall be taken up within
a short time; that a month's delay,
which Chairman Van de Vanter of
the Senate Railroad Committee had
said would be necessary, would not be
tolerated.
In the House, Saturday, by a vote
of 82 to 1 the appropriation of SIOO,-
000 made in the Rands bill by tbe
Senate for the Lewis and Clark Ex
position, was cut down to $75,000.
If a ruling made by Speaker Megler
stands, the members of the House
will not be allowed to pair on the vote
for the passage of any bill. When the
Rands measure was under considera
tion, Representative Byerly attempted
to announce a pair. Speaker Megler
brought his gavel down sharply and
stated that this privilege was and
would continue to be denied. After
the roll had been called, Representa
tive Dawes, of King, asked for a specific
ruling on the point, but the speaker
refused to make any, simply content
ing himself with Baying that it never
had been allowed in any previous
seaside.
LIBRARY MADE OF WOOD.
Five Hundred Volumes of Folio, Octavo and
Duodecimo.
Carl Schiedbach, of whom little is
known except that he was a Hessian
and manager of the menagerie at Cas
sel from 1771 to 1786, left behind a
unique library. It is called the " Holz
bibliothek," or library of wood, and is
housed in the quaint museum of Na
tural History of Hessen, at Cassel. It
consists of 546 volumes of folio, octavo
and duodecimo, made from trees grow
ing in Wilbelmshoehe Park and rep
resenting 120 genera and 441 species.
On the back of each volume is a red
shield bearing the scientific and com
mon name of the tree, the class and
species to which it belongs according
to Linnieus, specimens of the moss
and lichens peculiar to it, a bit of the
rind and bark, and, if it is resinous, a
drop or two of the resin. The upper
edge shows the young wood cut cross
wise to exhibit the rings and pith,
while the under edge, of old wood in
the rough, is cut in the same manner,
to illustrate the change which takes
place in the texture as the tree gains
in age and size.
The top cover is of wood in the
rough; the under cover is planed
smooth; the front edges show the pol
ished grain, and* also the fungi to
which the tree is liable in the stages of
decay or disease. Attached to the
front edge is a cubic inch of mature
wood, on which is noted its specific
weight in the early spring, when the
sap is flowing; again in midsummer
and still again when thoroughly dry. ~

experience: He chanced to be in the
Central Station at Albany recently
and stopped at the ticket window,
leaning through the aperture, he in
quired:
"Is my face good for a ticket to
New York?"
" Your face is good enough for a
ticket anywhere," was the reply.
" Excuse me," said a stranger who
stood next in line, " but you wouldn't

Talk about circus performers. An

Some of the most sensible, well bal
anced men that we have ever met in
life were as poor as the proverbial
church-mouse. Money-making is a
peculiar talent; a gift. However there
is a compensation; the poorest people
as a rule are the happiest. That evens
up matters to some extent.
The miracles, said to be performed
by Jesus, who healed the sick and
caused cripples to throw away their
crutches, reminds us of some men who,
when they get a good stiff verdict from
a railroad, throw away their crutches.
Railroad verdicts are performing mira
cles of this kind very frequently in the
United States.
The appalling announcement is
made that $10,000,000 is paid out an

per cent, of the buyers never learn

But what makes this announcement
still more bewildering is to think that
perhaps $20,000,000 of the total sum
is spent in ragtime.
We are tired of seeing notices about
people "accepting" positions. Men
are not offered positions in one case in
a hundred. When there is a vacancy
there is usually a mad rush to get the
jab. When employers have an open
ing they conceal the faet in order to
avoid being annoyed by applicants.
For every person who "accepts" a
position, dozens who tried to " accept"
it were rejected.
The picture of Gov. A. E. Mead, ap
pearing on front page of P.-/. issue of
Sunday, January 15th, shows that in
the few days he has been in the Gov

surprisingly rapid rate. Wonder if
the P.-7. did not palm off some other
fellow's picture instead of Mead's. If
not, will the Governor please inform
bis many friends what brand of " How

" I wish you would preaoh for me
to-night," said a preacher to a clerical
friend whom he met on Fourth street.
" I can't to-night," was the reply,
" I'm almost down sick with the
headache." "Well," observed the other,
" I guess you can do it, for if you
preach as you usually do you won't
have to use your head any."
Then they both laughed and punched
each other in the ribs, and said it was
a good oue, just like the worst kind of
old sinners.
Eleven years ago a noted siuger
spent the day in Olympia with rela
tives. In the satisfaction of a well
cooked dinner, he remarked that the
oldest daughter, Mary Jane, had a
voice worth training. This remark
has cost the father every vacation ever
since; it has put a mortgage on the
house; has made the mother do all the
house-work without help, and has re
sulted in the worn-out, debt-burdened
family. Mary Jane, whose voice was
cultivated at such a sacrifice, married
recently, and complains because her
father and mother don't do more for
her.
Seattle landlords are getting very
particular about their tenants, as well
as their rents, particularly in connec-
tion with flats. If a man ha 9 half a
dozen children, he is often coolly told
that he cannot have the premises.
" Haver you any children, madam?"
inquired one agent of a lady in modest
black who was looking at a flat.
" Yet," said the gentle mother, " I
have seven, sir, but they are all in the
church-yard."
"Indeed," said the sympathetic agent,
and without further parley the bargain
was closed.
Her little flock waiting in the church
yard were delighted to hear that she
had found a home so speedily.
The agent says he will never trust a
woman in black again.
A man by the name of Brewer died
a few days ago in an Illinois alms
house. He at one time was worth
1500,000. He had a beautiful home
and a lovely wife and daughter. They
traveled in Europe. They belonged
to aristocratic circles. Brewer went
up against the grain-pit and lost his
fortune. He sought solace in his cups.
His daughter went to the bad and the
mother died broken-hearted. Brewer
fell to the level of a common tramp.
Men that he had befriended in his
prosperous days turned the cold shoul
der. He bad no money, consequently
he had no friends. The moral of this
story is, avoid speculation and bear in
mind that the best friend you have is
your m oney. In the language of
Shakespeare, "Put money in thy
purse," and the writer of Driftwood
says further, keep your money for a
rainy day, although he fails to carry
out the advice so freely given.

fHOMAS A. EDISON, the In
ventor, in mapping out the
problems of the future, gives
first place to the necessity of
fighting the bacteria which
give us our diseases. Next
to the actual bacteria of dis
ease, the flies
•re the most dangerous enemies of man.
The mosquito with its bite injects into our
veins malaria, yellow fever, and other fatal
troubles. The fly, with spongy feet, collects
the invisible germs of diseases, spreads
them over our food and poisons us with
typhoid, cholera and other plagues of the
human race.
Dr. Pierce, the eminent physician of Buf
falo, N. Y., says, "If each person will con
sider his system as an army of men which
he controls as a general, and will see to its
proper provisioning and that it has plenty
of ammunition in the shape of good red
blood, he will be able to overcome the
enemy in these germs of disease." Every
healthy man has £ye million red blood
corpuscles to every square millimeter of
blood. The best tonic for increasing the red
blood corpuscles and building up healthy
tissue is no doubt Dr. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery. This medicine has been on
the market tor over a third of a century
and numbers its cures by the thousand.
Many popular patent medicines or tonics
are made up largely of alcohol and will
shrink the corpuscles of the blood and
make them weaker for resistance. What
is needed is an alterative extract, like Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, made
of roots and herbs, without the use of alco
hol, that will assist the stomach in assimi
lating or taking from the food such ele
ments as are required for the blood, also an
alterative that will assist the activity of the
liver and cause it to throw oif the poisons
in the blood. When we have accomplished
this we have put the system in a fortified
condition so strong that it can repel the
germs of disease which we find every
where—in the street-cars, the shops, the
factories, the bedrooms, wherever many
people congregate, or where sunlight and
good air do not penetrate.
Accept no substitute for "Golden Medical
Discovery," There is nothing "just as
good" for diseases of the stomach, blood
and lungs.
Neglected constipation means headache,
heart-burn, sour stomach, foul taste in the
mouth, biliousness, pimples, and palpita
tion of the heart. Constipation is promptly
cured by Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellet*. One
for mild cases, otherwise two.
