The rrintess asl the Shoemaker.

Some time ago there were stories
around that Princess Maud, daughter
of the Prince of Wales, was not as ro.
bust as she might be. In feet il wa,
limited thai she inherited good dea
of the trouble which eventually cul
minated in the death of her uncle, the
late Duke of Albany. Some color wa,
given to these rumors by the fact that
Princess Maud was permitted to ac
cept invitations without her sisters oi
mother at seaside houses of certain
members of the nobility.
Medical specialists from Germany
have also at times been summoned tc
attend upon her Royal Highness, anc
for one season since her debut she did
not appear At any of the great Court
functions. During her visits at some
of the seaside country houses the
Princess has more than once been dis,
covered in the act of taking walk by
herself in the neighboring town. On
one occasion, Mt Bournemouth, she
went into shoe store and purchased
u pair OF rubbers, or, rs tue English
call them, 'goloshes The store
keeper was II little abrupt, ard As the
rubbers were inexpensive, he declined
to send them home.
The Princess accordingly carried
the parcel herself, but within few
minutes she was met by one of her
suite in search of her, aud the dismay
of the churllsh tradesmsn when he

him. She looked inquisitively from
the picture to the weather beaten fac,
above her, and passed on, none tn,
wiser. There WAS little likeness be
tween the Two.
Her penetrating glances aroused
him. He came to himself with 8
start. looked hastily around, and ther

him rs he strode along the lake shore
He shiyered and turned up his coat
collar.
A drizzling mist of rain began {,
fall. People going by with their um
brellas up looked at him curiously q,
he plodded along with his own um
brella under his arm.
Soon heavy dash of rain aroused
him to the necessity of finding imme
diate shelter. A group of Stat,
buildings WAS just ahead Glancins
up he saw the name of hts native State
on one. and hurried in.
A great log heap blazed and cracked
in the huge fireplace, filling the room
with glowing comfort that warmed
him, soul and body. He drew chai,
close up to it, and spread his chill,
fingers to the flames.
The sticks against the forelogr
burnt to embers, anu fell into tn,
ashes. The crane seemed to swim
backward like great finger, pointin,
TO the past, rs he sat and stared int,
the fire.
People passing through the room
saw only rough old farmer, hii
clumsy boots stretched out on tn,
hearth. They never dreamed of tn,
scenes that passed before him in tn,
fire. There were glimpses of snow
covered pine woods. of sparkling
trout-streams gurgling in the Jun.
sunshine, OF long stretches of leve
ses-ssnds where the tide crawled in.
The old homesickness walked again
What had they thought of him through
all these silent years? He wondered
how they would receive his long-de
layed apology. He must write rs soor
as he got back To the hotel.
The rain had stopped. He stood ur
and shook himself, then went outdoors
again, pulling his beard meditatively.
rs he walked toward the gate. i,
seemed week since he had entered it,
Outside, while he waited for car.
he kept poking the end of his um
brella savagely into crack in tn,
pavement. A. he swung himself to tn,
platform of passing car, he turned
back for another look at the domei
and towers inside the gate.
II WAS his last look. He had seeI
enough. He WAS going back to Uncl,

TO BUILD A
NEW BREAKER
Shenandoah City COlliery Will be

Company having decided to tear down
the old breaker and put up a new and
larger one with improved machinery in
its place, The washery will be kept in
operation.
The colliery employs about seven hun
dred hands, who must necessarily seek
employment elsewhere until the new
breaker is completed. The washery EN-
ploys but a small force.
AS this colliery is one of the largest
producers of coal in this vicinity its idle
ness will be sorely felt by a large number
Of families, but the p. u r. G.. q l. Co.
will urge the work with all possible speed
so as to have the place ready for operations
by the opening of Spring.
1t is quite evident that most Republ-

election that is to take place next

have already commenced work on their
fences. Two calls for a meeting of
the city standing committee have
even failed to bear fruit, it be.
ing impossible to get a quorum of the
committee together on either occasion.
At some time during January or Febru-
ary, next, there will be great scramb.
ling to get the party in shape for "pull
| together" and when it is found that the
details required for that purpose have not
been arranged there will be considerable
complaint. The old adage that the Lord
helps those who help themselves is quite
applicable in this case and the Lord helE

To remain Indifferent 10 the situation

policy, The troubles that workers in the
party are not as plentiful as applicants
for positions.
The mischievOus young men who make
a practice of stutling the locks Of gates
and doors of school buildings with
tobacco, paper and wooden pllgs had
better suspend operations or a few OF
them may find it pretty costly fun. Tive
young men were arrested some months
ago for doing the same thing and were
speedily converted. 1t causes the
itnitors and mattresses considerable
trouble and inconvenience and the
school authorities have concluded to hav,
watches kept. Recently the jauitress

Hurt BY Its Own Weapon.

II has been favorite theme Of the Ore
gonian to descant upon the favoritism
shown the sugar refiners in the Wilson tar
iii bill. 1t has persistently called the meas
ure The Havemeyer bill for the purpose of
bringing it into disfavor. But Havemey-
er who is the great leader in the sugar
trust scheme has known all the while that
tine present tariff law was far more detri-
mental to the monopolistic purposes OF the
trust than was the Mckinley bill.
Havemeyer lately expresses the follow
Ing very emphatic opinion about the mat
ter.
THE reaction that followed the passing
of the Tariff bill brought about dull sea-
son. and the war among the wholesale
grocers in several sections of the country
still further tended to demoralize trade.
When to this we added the excitement of
an election canvass and the general report
that Congress would pass Free Sugar
bill, making all sugars free, you can read
lily see there was enough cause 10 compel
US to shut down completely.
"But we ran our works up to the present
time with reduced force in the hope, MI
cawber-like, that something would turn up.
Our faith in the future has failed us, and
beginning tomorrow we shall shut down
all our works in Boston, New York, Phil
adelphia and Baltimore. We cannot do
anything else. We are sorry for our men.
and have been trying to ward it of all
along. But the tralh is we have been run
ming our works at loss for several months.
but it is time now to call halt. The
last Congress is responsible for the present
situation. and If they pass the Free Sugar
bill at Washington. as it is reported they
will, they will kill the sugar industry COM
pletely. Things cannot BE- made worse
than they are now There is very little
difference between the prices of raw and re-
fined sugar, and there is no reason or JUS
ticc in continuing business at heavy
loss.
1--WE must either have enough profit to
cover the bald expenses Of carrying on su-
gar refining or else go ou: of the business
completely. We cannot compete with the
wages paid N Europe. and our men could
no, begin to support themselves and their
families at such figures. let we are asket
to run our establishment with only the
margin in refining that is to be found be
tween the cost of raw and refined sugars,
which Is now trifie less than y cent
pound.
mo. the only thing for us to do is to
shut down completely until there is a
market for our goods and until We can see
our war to pay expenses. And | can see
nothing cheering or reassuriEg in the out
look at the present moment.
