ance in which much interest is
lie*nf maultested in the Pacific
Northwest. Tho Secretary recently
receivod through Senator Polndexter
a telegram from a State sonntor
stating that tho leglsliiture of Wash
ington had unanimously passod an
act reserving all waters In tho
Wenatchee basin, but boforo the
act was slgued ' by tho governor
certain power Interoots had filed on
thffe waters and urging tho Presi

terior to oervo the best Interests
of the State of Washington by
mulntalulu" Intact President Tuft's
Executive order withdrawing tho
In, 563 acres of roservolr sites In

nnd the State reservation wore mado
with a vlow to poaslblo utilization
of tho water for the Irrigation of
290,000 ncree In the Qulncy Valley,

The Secretary's lotUr to Sonator
Polndexter points out clearly that he
has no Intention of revoking the
order of withdrawal of tho public

"This action by the Federal Gov

State, aud In view of the recent ac
tion of t')e Washington legislature

Superstition! or Cricket*.
The cricket on the hearth Is still a
welcome guest In these Kngllsh house
hold* that he deigns to visit. His com
lug Is n harbinger of good fortuno.
while If he leaves the house that Is ao
lufulllble sign of Imminent disaster.
A correspondent In Notes and Queries
refers to a belief prevalent In Lanca
shire "that crickets ore lucky about a
bouse and will do no harm to those
who use them well, but that they eat
boles In the worsted stockings of such
members of the family as kill tfyem. I
was assured of tills." adds the writer,

Poetry Defined.
George P. Morris, the author of
"?Woodman. Spare That Tree." was a
general of the New York mllltla anil a
favorite with all who knew him. Mrs.
Sherwood lu her reminiscences tells
how another poet associated the gener
al with ii dctlnltlon of poetry.
Once Kltx-dreene IMIIeek. the nuthor
of "Marco Bonarh)," called upon her In
New York In his old age. and she asked
him to define for her what whs poetry
and what was prose.
He replied: "When Oeneral Morris
commauds his brigade and says. 'Sol
diers, .draw your swords!" be talks
uprose. When he says 'Soldiers, draw
your willing swords!' be talkH poetry."
Gray Hair* In Wall
"It seemed to me down lu New York
the other day." remarked n Cleveland
er who had Just returned from the me
tropolis, "that one might almost rec
ogntie Wall street and the Unnnelal
roglon by the number of gray haired
young men you see. I had occasion to
be In several offices on Wall street the
other day. and I honestly believe more
than bslf of the young men I saw had
gray hair. I noticed the same thing
along the street It may have been
Just a coincidence, but 1 couldn't help
wondering If they would have been
gray Just as soon If they had been at
some other game for the last few
years."? Cleveland Plain Dealer.

An
Insufferable Nuisance
By MARTHA B. PARKER
David Mathews, u very young and
fashionable bachelor, who drove Id his
auto nil by himself, was turning a
corner at the rate of twenty miles an
hour when he spied another macblno,
driven by n young lady, coming to
ward hlra, IIo slowed down at once
and swung fur around to his right
The young Ittdy lost hur head and
swung to her left There was a crash,
and the girl lay In the middle of the
street motionless.
David, who was uninjured, gave u
leap and, laudlug besldo her. picked
her up. She opened her oyes and look
ed at him In a dazed fashion, as If
wondering liov> st)e happened to bo ly
ing lu the street In the arms of a
handxoino young man. Then the Im
propriety of the situation came over
her, and, disengaging herself, she
stood oa her feet and looked about
her. The first object that attracted
her attention was a heap of rubbish,
which she recognized as tho wreck of
her auto. The fac: that she had nar
rowly escaped death was of no Impor
tance whatever beside tho fact that a
brand new, spick and span machlue.
with all modern Improvements, tnclud
log an electric starter, bad been
smashed to minute fragments.
"Well. I declarer' sbo cxclaimed.
Tbo gentleman who had caused nil
this trouble was mutely thanking Got!
that the nutomoblla had been smashed
instead of the girl.
"Are you sure you're not hurt?" lie
ask .mI.
"Oh, tny goodness gracious!" was the
irrelevant reply. "It can never be put
together again In the world."
As to the Information relative to
bow far she bad been Injured, she
gave It by falling In bis arms in a
faint. He carried her to his auto and
placed her on the broad back seat.
"Confound a woman!" he exclaimed.
"You never can tell what she's going
to do."
He was fauning the unconscious girl
with his bat, wondering what to do
next when sbo revived again and. see
ing a crowd gathering and gaping at
her, she made a dlvo for the door of
tbo auto.
"What in thunder are you going to
do?" cried Mathews.
"1 want to go hmne."
"Stay where you are till J find out if
my machine will go. and If It will I'll
take you home."
All this happened within a few min
utes. Tbo machinery of Mr. Mathews
auto was still running (but uot clutch
ed) like a five story Hour mill. Jump
ing Into the front seat, he put on the
clutch and the car moved forward,
weaving the gaping crowd behind. Then
the girl forgot the latter and remem
bered her car.
"My auto, aiy |>oor auto! I'm not
going to leave It there lu the street."
"Coufound your auto," muttered Da
vid between bin teeth. But Instead of
saying It to the girl he turned In bis
seat and said almost fiercely:
"Now, stop this confounded nonsense
and tell mo whither to take you. to a
doctor's or home."
"You horrid thing!"
She showed rlgns of another collapse,
and Mathews was beside himself to
know what to do. Looking up and
down the street, bis eye caught a doc
tor's sign, aud. pulling up beside the
curb, he Jumjied out. opened the car
door aud leaned forward to tako the
girl In his arms with a view to carry
Ing^ier Into tbo house. Dut she sud
denly revived.
"What are you stopping here for?"
she asked Impatiently.
"For a doctor."
"1 don't want a doctor. 1 won't bate
a doctor. Take me home!"
Mathews slammed the door and re
sumed his scat. "Will you kindly tell
me where you live?" he asked.
"What'a going to become of my new
auto?"
? "It's going to a Junk shop."
"Oh. dear!" she moaned. "Papa gave
It to me only yesterday."
"For heavens' sake do toll me where
you live. Of course I'll replace your
auto and glad enough to get rid of"?
He paused to avoid being rude.
"Oh, you want to get rid of me, do
you? I'd have you understand that It
was you who ran into my auto, not 1
who ran Into yours."
Mathews gnashed his teeth, then by
an effort pulled himself together and,
looking the girl In the face, said with
great firmness:
"If you'll kindly te!l me where you
live 1 will drive you home, whero you
may have the attention you need, and
you shall have a new car as soon as It
can be obtained."
"Ob, well. I live nt No. ? G. street.
Oh. dear!"
"W'lint's the mutter now?"'
"My bundle!"
"What bundle?"
"Why, I bought n yard of ruching
at"?
He drowned the rest of It with bid
horn, as well as an ezpletlro condemn
ing tlic yard of niching to a place
where It would be evaporated In an
instant, growling to himself that a
woman was an Insufferable nuisance
and If he ever got rid of that one he
hoped he might escapo the rest of the
->ox during the balance of his life.
Vain hope! Within six mouths be
was walking up tho aisle of a church
with a big chrysanthemum In his but
tonhole and the Insufferable nulsanco
on his arm Instead of knitting his
brows and growling, he wore a smile
like the cat that ate the canary.
LOVE NOT ME.
Love not me for comely trace.
For my pleasing eyes or face
Nor for any outward pan
No, nor for my constant heart.
For those may fall or turn to lll,
So tliou and I shall never Heret.
Keep therefore ? true woman's
eye
And love me still, but know not
why.
So hast thou the same reason
still
To dote upon me ever.
