i 100 BACHELORS \ SEND IN BIDS FOR 100 WIVES Marriage License Clerk Gage has made a hit with the farmers of the Pen @ Oreille valley with his suggestion of a state matrimonial agency. A letter has been re ed by him from a homesteader of that district endorsing the scheme and putting in an order for 100 wives. He was writing for the 100 bachelors of his neighborhood, The recent suggestion made by an Oregon land dealer, — that “Cupki" Gage send the names of husband seekers to Oregon bache- lors, has aroused the bachelors all over the state. otters by the hundreds are pourtng in in order to keep the girls in Wasnington. Gage thinks that a state matrimon fal bureau will save the desirables for Wasuington men. SAMUEL G. LANCASTER has deen appointed by the Seattle-Ta- coma National Park development commission to go to Washington, D. C., and work for an appropriation for the opening up of the park. (Interested in kide? The Star has discovered, in the Callfor- nia mountains, a boy just past four, who, mentally, is a giant. He glories in geography, his tory, mathematics, the classics, politics, and he isn't any Bos ton Bean kid, with lofty “dome” and spindly shanks, either. He's a sturdy, mis chievous youngster, every inch alive. Mark Larkin went up Into the mountains to see the boy, whose name is Haven Hart, and he has written three ie ree 8 u1— In he is probably the boy of his age in je four and a half # Hs i i 4 Ht it a E 8 H g i E 5 could tell time, and and 10 months he is it letter, remarkable child knows ler in the alphabet.

In the midst of the conflict, his father appeared, abruptly stopped the fight, prevented the selzure of Constantinople—and also fixed the walk. The knowledge Haven Hart has acquired has not spoiled the charm of childhood. Educating him has not cowed bim like a trained dog, nor has it killed his individuality Instead, tt has made him a husky, rollicking, red-faced kid, with his bump of mischief as well develop- ed as his bump of knowledge.
