A RAILWAY EPISODE.

1t was with considerable pleasure
that Charles Edwards looked forward
to the journey, which would enable him
to reach the old home once more. after
an absence of nearly four years; not
only from the old folks, but from his
native land. He had just arrived on
the Yorktown, from Yokohama. Ja-
pan, via. Honolulu, and after the ship
had been placed out of commission at
the Mare Island navy yard, was to be
transferred to the receiving ship In
dependence to await orders from Wash
lngton regarding transportation east.
The orders arrived on Thursday, and
they were to leave next day for Nor
folk, Va, by way of the Southern
Pacific. There were fourteen in all,
and a happier party could not have
been found this side of the line. After
an exciting time regarding baggage,
and amidst many good byes and hand
shakes, they at last found themselves
fairly on the way. Nothing occurred
to mar the run to Los Angeles, where a
twenty-five minutes stop was an
nounced for supper.
On alighting at the station, Edwards
noticed two ladies in conversation to.

desire to remain up an hour or two
later than the usual time for retireing:
they accordingly made their way to a
day coach, where fortunately there were
but a half dozen occupants. After
screwing up his courage to the highest
pitch, Edwards plainly and straightfor-
wardly told her that he loved her, and
asked her to become his wife. He
often remarked afterwards, that, al
though he had had many hairbreadth
escapes and adventures, in which cour-
age was necessary to succeed, he had
never before been in such close cor

or so, when one day the loafers in the
saloon were surprised to see him come
in and call them all up to have drink.
1t seems the minister had got bottle
of brandy for medicinal purposes, and
Argie happening to call on him, when
he was out for few minutes, saw the
bottle, and thought he would take a
taste of it. That settled him. One
taste led to drink, and then he finished
the bottle. Then he went down among
his old chums again. He lost his job
and soon became worse than ever.

CRAFTY PECK,

Charlie was bad boy and always in
to mischief of some kind or other. We
boys had given him the name of Peck s
Bad Boy, from the pranks he played on
his father and the neighbors. When
his father was looking for him, Peck
would get behind some fence and watch
him, splitting his sides with laughter
at the fun.
There was big tree grew alor side
of the house, right by Peck's bedroom
window. He used to 60 to bed early
and then get up and dress silently and
go down the tree. Then the fun
would commence, for of course the
gang were waiting for him on the cor
ner. About midnight, or the small
hours of the morning, Peck would re-
turn, climb up the tree, get in and 60
quitely to bed, without any one in the
house being the wiser.
One night Peck had been out with
the boys and returned about one o'clock
and began to climb the tree. A neigh
Dor happened to be passing and saw
him going up, and thought it was a
burglar. Instead of going quitely
away and getting cop, the man started
on the run hollering police! police! On
the corner he found big burly police
man, and the two of them began to run
for the house.
Peck was nearly scared out of his
wits, but he clambered up the tree, got
in, closed the window and got into bed,
just as the cop began to batter on the
front door. He heard his father get up
and let Mr.. Copie in and then came up
to Peck's room. But Peck was sound
asleep. MI.

speak, he nevertheless raised his hat as

ARCHES RELAPSE,

There was no one in town could beat
my disputatious friend Argie Mooter
at arguing. He had been a graduate
of West Point, but from his propensity
for Intoxicating liquors he had sunk
down to the lowest class of society
He could quote whole passages of
scripture and Shakespeare, and his
favorite topic was the bible and Bob
Ingersol.
1t was his happiest time, when he had
half jag on, to get into an argument
either for or against the bible, that is
why we called him Argie Mooter. What
his right name was, none of us knew
for he still had the manhood to keep it
secret. About this time the big drunks
of the city, the aldermen thought they
could gain little favor from the people
and get more money out of the House
of Correction, by passing tippler act
and sending the drunks of the lower
ten to prison for long terms.
This is when Argie's trouble began
in earnest, for he had belonged to the
upper ten and had learned to drink
champagne and fine brandies. But
now his resources were too small to
afford such fine drinks, but his craving
for intoxicating liquors was worse than
ever now. So he turned to drinking
electric globes of rot gut beer, and big
glasses of moonshine. You know that
stuff will eat the insides out of man
and make him crazy in short time.
So Argie became veritable maniac
and was repeatedly sent to the bride.
we'll for getting drunk, which made
him worse when he got out.
While he was there, minister and a
priest had been talking to him, and they
told him he was in bad spiritual as
well as bad physical condition. Argie
got little scared and began to think
ofhimself should he die, for he was not
allowed any rot gut to drowu his
thought in up there. All the teachings
of his good mother came back to him
and he threw all his fallacious argu-
ments against the bible to one side and
vowed, he would not drink any more,
but would be good man, if he got
well. When he got we'll, the minister
secured him good position, and he
went to work determined to keep his
VOW. He kept away from his bad COM
panions, for he knew his nature was
too weak to resist their endeavors to
get him back in the old way again. He
went to church and took part in the
services as if he had been a good
christian all his life.
Things went on this way for month

the work of making this transfer. Two
days were required to accomplish this,
and then with a farewell reception to
the chief and his head men, who were
much pleased with their bargain, the
Flying Spray continued down river to
the villages below, where the exchanges
were made much to the satisfaction of
all concerned, especially to the Privat-
eers. When finally the vessel again
reached the Amazon, it was estimated
she had about 45O tons of first grade
rubber aboard. The export duty on
this amount of rubber would have been
S22o 100000, but the Privateers were not
going to pay this duty, as they were not
to leave Brazil by any of her ports, and
of course could not be expected to
chase around looking for a custom
house officer. Antonio, upon one of
his visits into the Rio Negros valley
had learned from the natives that it
was possible to sail from the Rio Ne
gros into the Orinoco River. Antonio
was so positive that the report was
true, that it was decided to take this
route out, if possible.
The large Brazilian town of Manaos
was passed in the dead of the night,
and without challenge. The Rio Ne
gros was not difficult to navigate, and
in eight days the vessel had entered a
long narrow lake, situated in the low
country of eastern Columbia. Sailing
through this lake, which was nearly
100 miles in length, the vessel entered
the northern outlet, found later to have
been the Guaviare River, a branch of
the Orinoco. The voyage down the
Guaviare and the Orinoco was through
a country equal, in its richness and
variety of tropical vegetation, to any
part of the Amazon valley.
At the Venezuelan town of Barran-
cas- near the mouth of the Orinoco, the
vessel came to anchor, and Capt. Marsh
with Antonio went ashore to interview
the custom house people. Capt. Marsh
exhibited his papers, clearing him from
Para to Manaos, and explained that by
some heretofore unknown route he
had gotten into tie Orinoco. The Of
ficials were disposed to be courteous to
man, who had for the first time, to
their knowledge, sailed a vessel from
the Amazon into the Orinoco, without
touching salt water. The captains re-
quest for clearance to Boston was
readily granted upon the payment of

very necessary paper, the Flying Spray

and their return to that port. The cargo
of the Flying Spray, as shown by her
manifest, was 448 tons, 900 pounds of
first grade rubber. Rubber was being
quoted on the Boston market at SLIP
per pound, and at this price the entire
cargo was sold on the day after its ar

Jim speedily recovered from his in
juries sustained in his encounter with
the boa constructor. Although his
nervous system was badly shaken up,
he was able, in couple of days, to join
| excursions, in the launch, made into
the small creeks and bayous that pene-
trated the Jungle; but for no consider
alton, not even the rarest of botanical
specimens, would he again put his foot
on land. For whole week these boat
ing parties were kept up. They did
much to aid Jim in fully recovering,
the which he had successfully accom-
plished at the end of week. Among
the many experiences that fell to the lot
of these pioneers in the rubber trade Of
the Jurua, none were, in after years,
remembered more distinctly or with
more pleasure called to mind than these
explorations into the dense tropical
jungles of western Brazil. Bill de-
| clares that even now there remains in
his ears the echoes of jabbering parrots
and the chattering of monkeys as they
met in daily sunrise convention.
A month had now elapsed since leav.

word and collect large supply of rub
Der, they now had had sufficient time
to have secured their share of the return
cargo. Five villages were to be landed
at, on the way down river, so for con-
venience, the cargo of the vessel was
divided, as nearly as possible, into five
equal parts; one part to be landed at
each village, in exchange for the ac-
cumulation of rubber; provided of
course that the quantity was up to
expectations based upon the rubber
producing capacity of the surrounding
region.
That portion of the cargo set apart
for the first village on the return trip,
was now brought up on deck, and the
Flying Spray began her decent of the
river, on the long homeward voyage.
Stopping in midstream before the vii
lage, it was with much elation that the
Privateers saw piled up on the shore
great heaps of rubber hams or chunks.
These little hams or balls weigh about
four pounds each, but from the vessel
no estimate of the amount piled on the
bank could be safely made. Antonio,
with two of the sailors, was sent ashore
with pair of large steel-yards. After
consulting with the chief OF the village,
he began to weigh up the rubber. There
were three heaps of about equal size
Having weighed up the first pile, An
tonic estimated that SO tons of rubber
were on the ground. Coming back to
the vessel, accompanied by the chief,
Antonio reported the amount of rubber
in sight. Arrangements were then made
with the chief for transferring the rub
ber on board and for taking off his
goods. All the canoes belonging to the
village, assisted by the launch, began

Who chides us gently. when we're cross?
And teaches us to love her,
Who bears the brunt of life's hard knocks
Our gentle loving mother.
Who, when we're grown to mans estate,
And act the bashful lover,
Has cleared away all obstacles?
Our gentle loving mother.
We may see war, we may see peace,
A sister or a brother,
But ne'er in this world shall we see,
Our gentle loving mother.
Her form lies in the cold, cold ground,
And flowers bloom above her,
While we mourn for that more than friend.
Our gentle loving mother.
Search where we will, on land or sea,
We cannot find another
To take her place, now she is gone,

err state IN the northwest, not even ex-
cepting Minnesota, outside OF Minneap-
oils, uses larger percentage of the
lumber manufactured here than does
Iowa. Iowa has always been the best
field for the distribution Of Minneapolis
lumber.
The next statement is stlll wider OF
the mark. 1t is that there is no compe-
tition in either the Wholesale or retail
trade. Every retailer Is instructed in
the schedule of prices at which he is to
sell. If he Is discovered cutting those
prices he is reported to the Northwest
ern Association, which has headquar-
ters in Minneapolis. The following
month. in it's report, this association
will blacklist the offender, and that
means he can't buy any more lumber
till he makes matters right" We do not
believe the lumber dealer made any
such statement. II he did he is less fa-
miliar with the situation than he claims
to be. and a paper published in Mar
shalltown ought to know better than
to print it, For a number of months
that town has been the scene of the
most bitter fight between retail dealers
that the trade ever knew. Lumber has
been and is now being sold there at fig
ures way below the wholesale list quo
tations. AS to the situation in other
parts of the country we can say that
hardly an issue of the Lumberman
goes from the press that does not con-
tain letters from retailers in different
locations, telling of local competition.
So far as the story of blacklisting by
the Northwestern Association for cut
ting retail prices is concerned, it is alb
solutely not true. The Northwestern
Association of Retailers tries to protect
its members from competition with
wholesalers who sell directly to con-
sumers, that is, to home people in any
town who show so little consideration
for their home dealers as to purchase
lumber or any other commodity from
an outside dealer. But the Northwest
ern Association absolutely does not
pretend to regulate the retail selling
price of lumber in any locality. Any re-
tail dealer of lumber who makes such
statements as are quoted in the inter-
view referred to hurts his own business
and shows his ignorance of the entire
situation
