REMEMBER THIS NEXT TIME
Visitor from Puget 8ound Telle East
erners the Correct Pronuncia
tion of Seattle.
**I notice,” said a Puget Sound
visitor in the city, “that most every
body back here says See-attle. That
isn’t right; it is no nearer correct
than it is to say New Yor-rk, when
referring to New Yawk. Se-at-tle
is the way to speak the word.
“Of course we have the habit out
there of adopting New York stand
ards on most things; but it seems to
me that in this particular instance
it would be better if the metropolis
would conform to the accepted meth
ods of Siwash pronunciation.
“Anyhow,” he concluded, “as soon
as an easterner lands there he says
Se-at-tle by instinct, because that
way seems better able to convey the
rattle and snap of this Puget Sound
city.”—N. Y. Sun.
CHANGE OF BILL.
A repertoire company was walk
ing into Paducah, where they were
billed to play “Romeo and Juliet.”
The leading man approached the
manager, who strode moodily ahead
on the ties.
“Boss,” he said, “I’ve got to have
15 cents.”
“Fifteen cents ?” growled the man
ager. “You’re always yelling for
money. What do you want 15 cents
for ?”
“What do I want 15 cents for?”
repeated the leading man, bitterly.
“I want it for a shave, that’s what I
want it for. I can’t play Romeo with
five days’ black beard on my face.”
“Oh, well,” said the manager,
“you won’t get no 15 cents. We’ll
change the bill to ‘Othello.’ ”—Sat
urday Evening Post.
GROWERS AND NON-GROWERS.
“Isn’t it strange,” said the house
keeper, “how some people have such
a knack with flowers and others sim
ply can’t make them grow? My
ferns and plants never last very long
in the house, but I know a woman
whose things are simply wonderful,
and she lives in a little steam-heated
flat, same as I do. Then I know an
artist and his wife. He runs the
little window garden very success
fully, but she says she doesn’t dare
look at it, for she would kill every
thing. My mother can’t grow flow
ers in her window, but right next
door an Irish girl always has lovely
things flourishing. And so it goes.”
AN IMPENETRABLE DISGUI8E.
Paul Rainey, the brilliant leader
of New York’s very smartest set,
abominates bores and dullness.
During a horse show supper that
Mr. Rainey enlivened with a dozen
vaudeville stars, a lady said to him:
“I met your friend Blank at the
masked ball last week. You call
Blank a bore, but, really, he told me
some very interesting things.”
“Blank interesting?” cried Mr.
Rainey. “Impossible! But, then, it
was a masked ball, wasn’t it? Per
haps he didn’t want to be recog
nized.”
INVISIBLE.
The old broker touched the mes
senger boy on the shoulder.
“Say, sonny,” he inquired, “didn’t
I engage your brother three hours
ago to deliver a message and return
with the answer?”
“Believe you did, boss,” responded
the messenger, nonchalantly.
“Well, he said he would go like
the wind and I haven’t seen him
since.”
“And you won't see him, boss.
Did you ever Bee the wind?”
NOT READY TO PAY.
Bilkins ordered a bottle of ale,
with the idea of sobering up on it
As he lingered over it he thought he
noticed the colored waiter growing i
a little impatient.
“By the bye,” asked Bilkins, “did
I pay you for this ale yet?”
“No, sah,” replied the waiter. “I
guess it hain’t gone to yer head
yet!”
APPREHENSION.
“Were you so frightened when you
made your first speech in congress ?’:
“At first,” replied the ardent
young statesman.
“Afraid of your audience?”
“No. Afraid I wouldn’t get •
chance to make it.”

SWASTIKA CLUB.
The home of Mrs. McCain was
the scene of the meeting of the last
Swastika.
The program was dispensed with
and an enjoyable afternoon was
spent in a social way.
Mrs. McCain institute*! quite a
unique contest. Each lady was
given two rows of pins cut from a
paper of pins. At a given signal all
were to begin and see which should
be the first to take out all the pins
and replace them in exactly the
same place they were taken from.
Mrs. Will Dilliard was the first to
finish and received a beautiful little
silk bag. Mrs. Bull being the last
to complete her task was given a
box of Pair pins.
One of the most delightful fea
tures was the delicious refreshments
served by our hostess and assisted
by Misses Lou McCrory and
Mildred Angus.
We were much pleased to have
as visitors Misses Helen MacNab,
Mildred Angus, Mesdames Boyd
Angus and Anderson.
As onr usual custom, we were
late to take our departure but each
felt that she had seldom spent a
more eujoyable afternoon.
The next meeting of the club
will be with Mrs. Wherry, January
16th, 1909.
