VALDEZ MERCANTILE CO.
Gobs of Glooms!
When all the States have voted, and
all the world is dry,
And Summer’s hot and dusty days are
slowly passing by;
When blood and brains are sizzling,
and tongues are swollen thick.
And sidewalks burn clear thru your
shoes and folks feel hot and sick—
What then can palliate our thirst,
what else can give us cheer,
That’s equal to a schooner full of
Ice-cold lager beer?

A THROUGH TICKET
Via
Chicago, Milwauke & St, Paul Ry.
WHY
By buying a through ticket you save from $10.00 to
$15.00 as against buying to Seattle and re-buying
there.
By buying over the C. M. & St. P. Ry. you are as
sured the comfort that comes from riding behind an
electric locomotive—the most powerful in all the
world— and that personal attention which is a fea
ture of “Milwaukee” service.
For tickets, berth reservations and other parti
culars consult your nearest Steamship Agent.

Eiphemfams For Death.
“Decease" Is now a regular form of
word for death. But It began as a
geutle euphemism, "decessus" (depar
ture) seeming much leaa harsh to the
Romans than "mors." All languages
abound In euphemisms of the kind,
which go back to a superstitious re
luctance to mentlou death plainly that
gradually passed Into a kindly desire
to soften the idea. “Passed away."
“departed." “gone." “expire" (breathe
out), “no more.” “demise" and even
“the late" are expressions of this na
ture. Moat striking of all la the Ro
man euphemism for “he la dead," “vis
it" (be baa lived).
Frilled Lizards.
Borne lizards are able to walk on
their hind legs, of which the most re
markable example Is the frilled lizard

on Its bind limbs with considerable
a|>ecd for as far as thirty or forty feet
in a half crunching attitude, with the
fore limbs bunging down and the re
markable frill folded up
