Domestic Museums.

They are multiplying on every hand
and are getting to be very tlresome'
The parlors in some houses are SO crow
ded With furniture that one can hardly
move about without falling over some
thing or throwing something down.
Bronzes on pedestals, bric,a,brac on
small tables, fill every available corner.
The walls are convered with pictures
that often "kilI' each other, so IN
harmonious are they. The manteI,
piece, hanging cabinets, brackets, wall
booklets, overflow with curios. Dining
rooms and bedrooms get filled up in
the same way, until there really isn't
room for people. And the query seems
pertinent, Are houses made for people
to live in, or for furniture to be stored
in are the residents primaries or mere
incidentals?
Keeping house becomes a very Sc
rious matter when there is so much 10
keep, so many articles to be busted ana
looked after, unless one has an army
of servants. For the woman with
none or with one an easy life lies in the
direction of simplicity in the style OF
living.

have we a right to be thoughtless ?
How many beautiful women enter tne

Now, we are going to show our ma
tional aud individual gratitude this
month, by direction of the President,
writes Robert J. Brudette in his ini-
mitable department in the November
Ladies' Home Journal. We are Il
grateful people. If you don't believe
it, see us eat. Some of us--and these
are not men--are so thankful we will
not go to church at all on Thanksgiv,
ing Day. We will stay at home and
get dinner for host of other grateful
people,. tits the dinner that makes
us thankful. Some thanksgiving Day.
Just you pitch the dinner over the
alley fence about ten minutes before u
o'clock. Then see what a devoutly
grateful, what sweelly thankful
crowd will come home from church.
On second thought, perhaps you had
better not wait until they come home.
You had better run. And keep on run
ninS until you get to the middle OF the
Great American Desert. And stay
there.

What is The Gain

Self-sacrifice comes natural 10
women. Much of it is boru in them,
and what is not is ground into them
from their childhood by education;
For the sake of her home duties girl
gives I'D amusements and privileges
which her brother would never pe en-
pected to forego for the like reason.
As she grows older, this spirit grows,
encouraged by all tradition and OUTSIDE
influence. Often its power masters her
altogether, and her life becomes onI
long devotion to endless LABOR ait
acceptance of unpleasant Things .na,
the.pleasant part OF living may oe Aep'
sacred for the rest of the family.
The purely useless side OF TINS entile :,l (
self-abnegation must sometimes strlhe
the beholder. Such effacing OF lndi-
viduality is not uncommon. Anu i.

Younger members of family, brought
up to regard their mother as machine
rim for the family service, does the wo,
man who SO gives herself for the well
being of herfamily really accomplish
all she desires?
If she work without pause or slacken-
ing day in and day out, does she
always feel satisfied, with the admIrlns
on lockers, that it is the noblest way 10
spend her health and energies:
IF she renounces all recreation ana

Communion of mind and spirit Win
her husband and children, Is the re-
ward adequate that is paid to them IN
a better kept house, more bountiiully
SUPPLIED larder or handsomer clothes

netulant or complaining, is not the at
mosphere of home more greatly IN,
inred than the added cleaning and
cooking can repair? ,
IF she is too worn out to give sym
natby and help 10 the children's joys
and sorrows, what do the finer clothes

Laughter.

In his "Problems of Health" Dr.
Greene says that there is not the re-
motest corner or little inlet OF the min
ute blood-vessels of the human body
that does not feel some wavelet from
the convulsions occasioned by good:
hearty laughter. The life-prlncirie oi
the central man is shaken to the inner
most depths, sending new tides Of life
and strength to the surface. thus ma
terially tending to insure good health
to the persons who indulge therein;
The blood moves more rapidly and
conveys different impression to all
the organs of the body, as 1T visits
them on the particular mystic Journey
when the man is laughing from what
it does at other times. For this reason
every good hearty Ugh in which a a
person indulges tends to lengthen his
life, conveying, as it does, new and
distinct stimulus to the vital forces.

ExDerimentQl picty.

We live in an age of speculative
thought. when multitudes proudly
claim the privilege of liberalizing
Christian doctrine according to pleas
ure-an age when the thoughtful mind
is in greater danger from undue
liceuse in traversing uneXplored fields
of inquiry than from superstitious in
dorcement; an age when subtle errors
are floating through the atmosphere,
obscuring the glory of Christ's person
and work, detracting and weakening
the agencies Of Christianity. We tend
more to speculation than spirituality,
more to controversies than contrite-
ness. We are prone more to reason
about religion than humbly to seek
for its possession.
At this period there is safety only in
seeking to maintain the true standard
of experience. Wemust know God in
prayer, in His covenants, an in His
spiritual comforts. We must realize
the continual presence of Christ as a
personal Savior. We must seek for
and cherish the abiding witness of the
Holy Spirit. Living in this way, we
shall successfully meet and overcome
temptation, and be able to bear Il good
testimony before an unbelieving
world.

. u,,,,onaire.s Secret OF Success.

Cyrus w. Field once told me that he
considered half of his success in life to
be due to his punctuality. He was
always at his office on the very min-
ute each morning, and if he made an
appointment to talk business to a man
he never failed to keep il. II have
made thousands upon thousands OF
dollars cy being on hand at the right

as strong point in business mans

S;noe tho word of the Lord enduretl

Since the word of the Lord endureth
forever let us identify ourselves with
its eternity by doing it, and then en-
tering into its everlasting reward.
1t is the very opposite of what Christ
teaches. The gospel is message OF
love, it is the good tidings of peace
and good will towards men.
When the hour of death comes
that comes to high and low alike
then it's ia what we hae dune f"r our
selves, Ibut what we hae dune for
others, that we think on mast pleas

DOING A GOOD BUSINESS
The Grays Harbor Branch Gets More
Traffic Than Was Expected-One
Single Mill on the Line Ships
EIGHT CARLOADS A DAY

S. B. Pettengill, of Tacoma, who has
been looking into the matter, believes
that the idea that the extensions OF the
Northern Pacific railroad to Grays Har-
b ,r and South Bend were not warranted
as a good business investment, ought to
be promptly stamped as incorrect for the
good of the country.

alton of railroad 1t is but little
more than year since the road was
opened to the head of the Harbor, and
only few months since the entire line

the road is doing forty per cent more

have been less lively than they were
when his estimates were made.

rHR POINT Iona SAFE.
But She Came Near Being Wrecked OF
the Columbia River Bar.

tnc htNeF DIRT
SAN Francisco, Dec. 3.-The Point
Iona arrived here tonight from Giay's
Harbor. She was considerably overdue
and alarm had been expressed as to her
safety. She encountered strong winds
alt the way down the coast, which caused
the long trip.
The steamer had been given up for lost
owing to dispatch received during the
day from Portland, which stated that the
Point Iona had been wrecked on the
Columbia river bar. Owing to the wires
being down between Portland and Asto-
ria it was impossible to get confirmation
or contradiction OF the report. The be-
lief however, was general that the steam
Ter was wrecked. The Point Iona had
terrible tiip, and the only wonder is that
the vessel was not lost. Seas broke over
the steamer and water filed the fireroom
until the firemen were up to their waists
in water. The fires were put out and the
steamer rolled in the trough of the sea for
twelve hours. The coal was washed into
the bilge and what was left Of the lumber
cargo had to be cut up for fuel
On Friday morning, November %, the
steamer left Grays Harbor with 25o,000
feet of lumber, cut in large sticks. The
steamer then ran into Willapa bay, where
1000 sacks of oysters were taken on
board, and the steamer then sailed for
this city. That night southeaster came
ON with great violence, and part OF the
deck load of lumber was washad from its
lashings and went overheard and went
overheard with the oysters Sea after
sea broke over the steamer, which war
then off the Columt is river bar. Several
big seas were shipped that filed the fire
room, extinguishing the fire under the
boilers and washed most of the coal on
board from the bunkers into the bilge,
where it was afterwards unobtainable foI
fuel. the sails On board had been blown
into shreds, so that the steamer was al
the mercy of the wind and waves for
over twelve hours until the fireroom was
clear of water sufficiently to allow the
building OF fresh fires and the gettiug up
OF steam. Her pumps were manned, and
the passengers on board joined with the
crew and formed bucket brigade and
bailed the water out of the fireroom in
buckets. The steamer all this time
rolled fearfully in the trough OF the sea-
Sea after sea broke over the vessel send
ing volumes of water into the fireroom,
filling it up almost as fast as bailed out.
After ten hours of steady work tie
fires were again started and then new
difficulty arose. The coal was in the
bilge and a part OF the crew was put to
work saving up the heavy sticks of tim
Der on deck for fuel. When the steam
pumps were again started the entire
crew went to work cutting up logs, but
their combined efforts were not sufficient
to keep the furnace going at full blast.
and just enough steam was'raised for the
pumps and to turn the engines over. i,
vas terrible trip, and those on board
had a narrow escape.

Stories of Early Days in Washington Told
by the Pioneers Themselves.
Early last spring the Tacoma Ledger
offered prize OF two round trip railroad
tickets to the Worlds Fair to the old set
tiers of this state who would write the
m ,st interesting story Of his experience
for its columns. The prize was to b.
awarded September 20, Old Settlers Day
at the Tacoma Exposition, and it War
awarded by the Judges who were Judge
Robinson, of Olympia, Hon. L. s. How
lett, of Yakima, and Secretary Reavis, Of
the Spokane Chamber of Commerce, to
Milburn G. Willis, Of North Yakima,
who has received his tickets.
The Ledger has made a new offer of
two similar tickets for continuation oil
these stories, and is still printing one
every week. They are intensely interest
ing. They are valuable, as well, for they
are preserving an important part, n,
only OF the history of this state, but OF
this coast, and this country, which our
Pioneers would soon take to their graves
if ii were not saved in this way. Every
settler who came here before the rail-
roads is eligible in this competition and
should send the Ledger his story and err
haps win the prize.
The Ledger is one OF the best weekly
papers in the state, and the cheapest.
