Altogether Too Suspicious

"Say, Mr. Scribe ?" ssaid .a well known local democratie leader, to the Writér last Saturday, "Ian't Brother Beakes getUng la his work for the postmastership rather early '?" "Why so ?" was asked in an inquirlug way. "Strauge if you couldn't understand what that labored article in the last 'Argus tneant. Ho proposes to stand Ín wlth Gorman from the start, and if we democrats are successful next íall, as wc sliallbe, not allow anyone to get ín ahead of hira this time. Oh, you aieedn't ehake your head, that'á the card. Just wateh and eee him play át when the time comes." Before the Escribe could get an opportunity to argüe the question with the gentleman, he vanished. How euspiciously slirewd some men are. Now we doubt if Bro. iBeakes has any such iíclfish designs. In a great etate- Seattle. The first convict-ed man- Adam. A picture eail- The yacht regatta.
