If you would not be foiled by temp
tation, do not enter into dispute with
Satan. When Eve began to argue the
case with the serpent, the serpent was
too hard for her; the Devil, by his
logic, disputed her out of Paradise.
Satan can mince sin, make it small
and varnish it over, and make it look
like virtue. Satan is too subtle a soph-
lister to hold an argument with him.
Dispute not, but fight.
1t is poor encouragement to toll
through life to amsss fortune to ruin
YOUR children. In nine cases out oil
ten large fortune is the greatest curse
which could be bequeathed to the
young and inexperienced. ....

He FORGOT SoMETHINa.-A pas
senger on street-car was talking to q
friend on trip downtown, and all
the other passengers listened with at
tention, as the theme was one of gen
eral interest. His little boy, q small
urchin of three years, sat beside him
regarding him with fond delight.
"There is no sense" the speaker was
saying, Sin the way people go through
the world forgetting things that they
ought to remember. They hurry out
of street-cars leaving valuable pack
ages behind them, forget their opera
glasses in the theatre and their over
coats in hotels. Now, it is very weak
mind that cannot remember its own
bundles. Here I have package--an
umbrella and an overcoat.. [ could
carry them from here to Kamschatka
without ever forgetting them. This is
my corner; good-morning."
He bolted out of the door without
waiting for the car to stop, and the
other passengers were musing over the
truth and wisdom of what he said
when small, wailing voice piped out !:
"My pas gone off and forgot me-"
Then bluff old man in the corner
remarked:
1--WE are all tarred with the same
stick"
And it was not until the return trip
of the car that the man who never for
got anything recovered his small boy.

The Quiet Hour.

A little rest In the twilight,
After my work is done,
A little time with the Master
At setting of the sun.
The day has been one Of trial,
OF failure oft, and tears;
But Jesus knows all my weakness.
He knows my doubts and fears.
All sordid thoughts | can Danish,
And let my spirit fly
Above the earth and its sorrows
To Gods white throne on high.
The door OF a place of refuge,
A palace of quiet rest,
Is near-and my soul Is longing
To find that portal blest.
come with all my heavy burdens,
come with all my sin:
I knock, and the door swings open,
And Jesus lets me in.
My sin departs. and my trouble
Is lost in blissful calm;
This quiet hour with my Saviour
Has soothed my heart like balm.

ssLike You do When You Laugh"

A baby of three years once preached
me sermon, and pass it on for the
benefit of other downcast.and despon-
dent ones who need to learn to "rejoice
|evermore."
"How is the baby?" asked dreari-
ly, standing at the foot of the staircase
leading up to chamber where the Lit
tie one lay ill. I was tired, unhopeful
NV mood came out in my tone.
"'Peak like you do when you
laugh" called the weak little voice
upstairs and, if I ever felt rebuked by
an angel, that was the moment. 1t
has come up to me hundred times
since; hope I am the brighter and
cheerier for it. ".
"Speak like you do when you
laugh.n That means sparkle and
gladness and goodwill. Those fretful
lines at the mouth corners don't come
from laughing. The weary ones around
the eyes have another origin. But the
plainest outward sign of dependency
is that in the tone. The sick feel it ;
that is why "visitors are forbidden" ."
Little children are infallible weather
prophets ; they will not "take to" you.
Aud you and I-just common work
ing men and women, neither sick mol
young nor old, but busy and often
tired-w love-yes, that is the word
we love the bright, loving, laughing
happy voice. "Speak like you dc
when you laugh. ."-Anon.

Ii will be noted that not only the

All told, 100 cargoes of lumber and
81 cargoes of wheat were shipped to
foreign countries from Puget Sound.
This, however, is only a small part OF
the lumber shipments. The great
business was with California, the car

THE YAKIMA VALLEYS.

Is Planted-stoek Ranges.

Ekiy3A AtllDFIAt-
Those acquainted with the topo-
graphy OF the country about North
Yakima will understand that when
we speak of the Yakima valley We
mean not only the valley of the 1aki-
ms river. proper, but a well Alta
mum. Wide Hollow. North and South
Cowyche. Matches, Wenas, Selah,
Mckee and Parker bottom. All these
rich valleys owing to the topography
of the country for a radius of 20 miles
around Yakima are naturally trihu-
tary to this city. The waters OF all the
streams of these valleys converge to
this point. The gaps through the
ussantains and foothills are the gate
ways OF travel and commerce be-
tween these valleys and the city of
Yakima and along the easy grades
of these watercourSes TO flow
for all time to come. In the noun
tains and on the hills and wide pla-
teaux adjacent TO these valleys are the
finest bunch-grass stock-ranges of the
northwest. The stock interests of
Yakima county. are, and for a long
time will be an important factor in the
business of the city. In the Natchess
and Tietan valleys. at the head waters
OF the Ahtanum are iuexhaustible
coal fields, besides gold, silver ard
lime in abundance.
The soil in these valleys is unsur-
passed in all the elements of luxuriant
vegetation. The climate has no SUI
perior on the Pacific slope. The soil
and climate combine in the produc-
ton Of a greater variety of important
products than are grown in any part
OF the United States. This is showa
by the fact that here, all the grains,
all the vegetables, all the fruits, large
and small, tobacco, sorghum, hops,
peanuts and cotton, all the products
of the temperate zone save such as
are properly termed tropical, grow to
perfection in size, quality and flavor,
and Weld abundantly.

A COTTAGE BY THE SEA.
Two Hundred Miles Of Water Front
in Kitsap County.
Sidney Pioussr

Not the least remarkable fact in the
prosperity of our growing little city is
that people OF means are seeking our
locality with view of buying small
tracts of land, building cottages and
Identifying their grounds, as is done
in the East along nayigable water
ways. In kitsap county we have in
the neighborhood of 300 miles of
beach line, every mile of it approacha-
bic by steamers of the largest class.
In some places bold, prominent bluffs
stand out gloomy, grand. but
beautiful. approaching the waters
edge with seeming purpose of
wrestling from the bright waters
more of the land to answer the same
purpose which they do. In other
places the beach recedes from the
water in low, long line, which gives
one the thought that the water is en-
deavoring to eucroach upon terra
iirma. A passenger on any of our
busy steamers at once recognizes the
beauty of this varying and iaagnifi-
cent scenery, and il he has ever lived
in proximity to nayigable water, the
fever seizes him and he at once be-
comes possessed with the desire TO
own a piece of Kitsap county beach
line What need has this county of
railroads. when there is not ranch in
the whole length and breadth of it
more than six miles from navigable
water?

Notwithstanding the great advant-

that industry has attained very little
prominence in the past, In fact out
side Of few establishments devoted
principally TO the building of boats, and
now and then constructing small
schoonerS, there has never been a boat
building establishment Of any size in
Seattle.
Recognizing the opportunity offered
for a profitable investment and also
holding in view the great benefit such
an establishment would be TO
our city, a number of enter
prising citizens got together and
organized the Seattle Dry Dock

SAMMY'S HEARTH DESOLATE.
MOURNING OVER A VACANCY IN MRS.
JATLE'S HOUSEHOLD.

Sammy " is lost. and it is feared that he
will never be found.
He spent Saturday evening sitting on the
roof of his home, 21O East Twenty-third
street, and seemed to be in a cheerful mood.
About Q o'clock he stepped over to another
roof and chatted with a neighbor, and the
two sang a duet with a good deal of skill and
feeling. Then he returned to his own roof
and, being in a whimsical mood, sat for a
time on the chimney.
At 10 O'Clock he hoped lightly from the
chimney, and, without bidding tie family
good-by. walked downstairs.
He loitered before the front door for half
an hour. enjoying the cool mir aud observing
the people returning home from church. He
then promenaded down the street towards
Second avenue, aud that is the last time that
he was ever seen.
Sammy =" had boarded two years and FIVE
months with Mrs. Jaitle, a German lady. on
the third floor. and she was much alarmed
at his disappearance. When he did not re-
turn at the usual hour she hunted high and
low for him.
He had not gone to sleep on tho stairs.
nor was he on the roof. or in the street. No
one would tel where he had gone. though
some one said that he had been lettering in
a careless fashion towards Second avenue.
Sunday passed and Sammy" did not re-
turn. He did not send any note or any mes
sage to explain where and why he had gone.
Mrs. Jaitle became very anxious on ac-
count of his disappearance, and had the fol-
lowing advertisement put in one of the
morning newspapers.
II OST or strAyed, q silyer-Eray or black-striped tom

third floor
Mrs. ,Jaitle raid this forenoon that the cat
had not yet been found. He was a beautiful
animal, of o silver gray, and was striped
like a tiger. He looked like a miniature lion.
About his neck was q leather collar. with a
bell attached to IL. She said that he had been
stolen.
He was very shy. and il any stranger had
come into possession of him, would run away
and hide.
would not eat FIankfurter sausage, chuck
steak nor sauer-kraut, hut breakfasted on sir.
loin and good country milk.
He was a great pet and Mrs. Jaitle will pay
o good reward for his return.
