MISERS AND MISERY.

A man recently discovered g.
500 under the floor Of garnet in
an old house in Pennsylvania.
The man who last occupied the
house and who had deposited the
money in this unexpected hiding
place, was a hard-working carpen-
ter, who practiced every form Of
selfdenial while he lived and
who left his widow destitute when
the summons came to lay aside
his work and give an account Of
his stewardship.
It was not long ago that a lady
living in the same state accident
ally discovered after her husbands
death over a thousand dollars in
bills hidden away between the
leaves of some old books which
had been neglected in an old book
case. She, like the carpenters
wife, was left without available
means, and was just on the eve Of
attempting 10 borrow money in
order to supply the necessaries Of
life when the wealth concealed in
the old volume came Unexpectedly
to light.
Gerge Elliot, in her beautiful
story of Silas Mariner, has proved
to people who think and reason
that the miser is not a natural
species but a product of eiviliza-
ton. She has also shown that
money worship cannot hold abso-
lutte sway in the human heart as
long as the human affections have
something upon which they can
still hold, the human sympathies
something to call them out and
the human soul something with
which to hold communion.
In the case of the Pennsylvania
carpenter, and also Of the cautious
soul who hid his earnings in a
bookcase, knowing that that would
be the last place his family would
be likely to discover it, the RE.
coRDER knows nothing Of their
domestic relations nor the incent.

ures and nobler aspirations. Al
the outset, perhaps, their inten.
tons were good-to save up mon.
ey to buy a house, to give the
careful wife a pleasant surprise, OIL
provide for a green old age, when
the strong right arm would nc
longer possess its power nor the
hand its youthful cunning.
| But the habit grew, and home
and wife and all were forgotten in
the greed and avarice which by
and by gained possession Of a
dwarfed and narrowed soul.
4 There are tive ways for a man
to rob his family, one is by being
an all around good fellow" and
carrying his purse strings always
on the outside, and the other is by
taking 50 much pains to provide
for them after his death that they
are deprived of things they should
have during his life time. In
either case the widow Is left desti
tute, and remembers her dead
husband only with regret, regret
not at his loss, but at the thought o.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

with sweetest music. Usually it
is still, gray day, during which
the dark, leafiess trees stand sharp
ly etched against a liquid atmos-
phere in which you can hear the
partridge drum and the blue jay
a mile away. The smoke
curls from the old farmhouse
straight into the air, and from its
quaint windows the crow can be
seen circling wistfully over the
old cornfeld, with outspread
wings, as if fearing to break the
silence Of the scene. And the far
mer is thankful that his sons have
come back to spend this festal
day with him at their old home.
They are delighted, for once more
they scent the roasting gobbler
and dream of cracking the wish
bone again, just as they did when
small boys. And again they will
have the dear old nightmare in
the attic room that is colder than
the barn in the winter and better
than the potato patch in the sum-
mer. But they are no happier
than those who celebrate the day
in a New York fiat that is 50
small that it does not furnish suf-
ficient elbow room to carve a ,tur-
key and therefore cempels the
family to have a fricassee or a
canned turkey, neither Of which Is
a dish equal to the requirements
of SO glorious an occasion.
The old fan tail gobbler will no
more strut about the farmyard
with the dignity and hauteur ola
retail floorwalker. No more will
he wave his great scarlet wattles
like a danger signal preparatory
to chasing the small boy, who
would make him the unwilling
recipient of a bucket Of cold water.
No more will he sit in a statuesque
ball on the old elm and look wish
fully over the russell corn6eld,
whose burrows are picturesquely
punctuated with dull gold pump.
kins. He has heard the whining
winds of autumn rustling in the
rosy foliage and his blazing side
whiskers for the last time. Yes
terday he was full of hope. To
day he is full Of chestnuts, and
his drumsticks play a solo of JOY
on the souls Of the people congre'
gated about the table, especially
that of the small boy, whose eye:
throb with joy and who is as full
Of anticipation as the turkey is full
Of dressing. What a beautiful
study is the old gobbler as he lie:
upon the platter, bronzed to a crisp,
with his white meat shining
through his tawny envelope that
ever and anon breaks with q
sound that sends ripples Of softest
music across the lilied millpOnd.
Of or souls!

turkey is so tough that the only

cuEHALIs CoUNTY's DEBTS.

We commented last week upon the finan-
cial condition Of Chehalis county as gath
cred from an opinion OF County Attorney
Bridges, rendered at the request of the
county commissioners. a second opin-
ion was subsequently filed by the
county attorney in which the eountys
condition Is more clearly explained and
the alternatives for settlement OF finan-
clal matters more explicitly set forth. IL
seems the Indebtedness OF the county is
aDproxlmately as follows: Funding bonds,
sSs.eOo: warrants outstanding, with inter
est. 1000: allowed claims for which no
warrants have been drawn. $4,000.
The indebtedness OF bonds and warrants
amounting 20 si35.0oo are held 10 be valid
being within the constitutional limit when
contracted. The validity OF the $4,000 in
debtedness is questioned. that having been
contracted after the constitutional limit
was passed. It IS held that the $4,000 in
outstanding warrants can be taken up
with a bond issue. but that so long as the
$4,000 In approved claims remains unpaid.
warrants cannot be issued 10 meet cur
arranged for by appropriations from cur
rent revenues as they come In. There is
$50 600 due from delinquent taxes. and,
with collections from this source and by
the exercise OF prudence and economy, the
county officials believe that within year
or a year and a half the $4,000 in float
ing claims can be settled. the current eN-
penses paid and the county put on a cash
basis.
This IS by no means 50 serious a state
OF affairs as might have been inferred
from Mr. Bridges first opinion. OF course
the aggregate debt IS 4 large one, but prob
ably no larger relatively than those under
which many other counties are now labor
ing. M doubt during the so-caIled hal
cyon days OF SIX or seven years ago

lessly into debt. and are now suffering the

LIVE TIP TO THE CONTRACT.

Secretary Herbert speaks the truth when
he says contracts for the construction OF
warships should be enforced. and that the
remission by congress OF penalties for de-
lays is demoraiizing and should be stopped
II is now fifteen years since work upon the
building OF new and modern warships was
inaugurated. This work has been contin-
nous and the American ship yards are
now sufficiently complete to warrant a
strict compliance with the conditions Of
the contracts they undertake. Leniency at
first, when the work was. in measure.
experimental. might not have been out of
place. But now our ship yards are the
equal OF any in Europe. and Ii is difficult
70 see why all contracts for ship building
should not be enforced 70 the letter. II. on
a speed trial, a new vessel exceeds the re-
quirements, the builders are very willing
10 accept a bonus OF from quarter TO a
half OF million dollars, and the govern
ment has always been ready to pay these
obligations. There is no reason, on the
other hand. why contractors should
not turn their vessels over at the time
stipulated. or. In event OF their not doing
so. why they should not pay the penalty. as
it is nominated in the bond No doubt
many OF the delays In finishing our new
cruisers have arisen because the contract
ors have felt there was no necessity for
hurry, knowing that congress would re-
lieve them from any liabilities incurred
under their contracts. This, obviously, has
had only a dauoralfzfng effect and has
very probably interfered very materially
with the successful progress of the great
work of rapidly building up a new navy.
