''As the boys say, l was on my up

who had no real use for them, and
you'll admit that to be the supreme test

above another, it was that of selling
stoves. l could get rid of hard-coal

could place a consignment of wood

"One morning l walked up in the mod

and without a job. TO most men the
situation would have been as cold as

fatalist. After jollying the bartender
for a patriotic cocktail and the barber
for shave, went to the nearest stove

But his neighbors decreed otherwise.

he took his seat in the House of Repre-

continuously in Congress. Upon the
formation of the Republican party he
espoused Its principles and ever after
adhered to them.
From the first the quiet. reserved
Congressman was appreciated. and his
candor, common sense and all-aronnd
lear-headedness was recognized by
Congress, which placed him on its most
important committee. He carried

Drying Vegetables.

The drying of vegetables is a new
industry in California that promises to
become almost as important as that of
drying fruit. Vegetables like potatoes
and carrots are poured into the hopper
of the cutting machine, where rotating
knife blades cut them up into slices a
quarter of an inch thick. After being
sliced the tubers are slightly sulphured
in wooden chamber. The next transi-
tion of the fruit is to the evaporator, a
sort of small Ferris wheel, consisting
of brick oven with glass windows.
This is revolved close to hot pipes for
few hours. When this stage is passed
the potatoes resemble dry chips, and it
takes six to seven pounds of the fresh
to make one pound of the dried Onions
are so pungent that bacteria do not
take kindly to them. They are, there
fore, only slightly sulphured before
drying. The process shrivels them so
much that it takes twenty parts of
fresh onions to make one of the dried.
Carrots dry in the ratio of one part of
dried to nine parts of fresh vegetable.
The industry has proved very profit

but he was extremenly neat, and he in
sisted OIL e5haying himself. He argued
that 1t was necessary to have many
razors to have one always ready. There
were the raZors that his father had
used before him, they were of French
make, handle with several extreme
ly thin blades there was fat razor of
boarding school days that was includ-
ed in swap of sled for banjo; there
were raZors of English and American
make; but young Mr.. Johnsons favor
ite was white-handled, and 1t was to
him as the apple of his eye.
Mr.. Johnson married when he was
about % years old a pretty girl of 20.
She danced, and played waltzes ON the
piano, and she WIS sweet and amiable.
They were happy, especially Sunday
mornings when Mr.. Johnson did not
leave the house. They breakfasted late,
and 1t was one of the wife's amuse-
ments to watch her husband shaving at
his leisure. Those days he chose his
white-handled razor She would laugh
at him when his face was covered with
lather; she would keep sayias., Don't
cut yourself, DEAR" and when his chin
and cheeks appeared, smooth and
shining. she would throw her arms
about him, and cuddle against his
breast. and say, 81 never could love
you if you had beard" and then she
would kiss him in the neck. And Mr.
Johnson, holding the razor in the air
above his head, would smile compla-
Gently.
They were happy In this foolish fash
ion for q year or SO.
One morning Mr.. Johnson did not
leave the house, although the day was
Tuesday, not Sunday. He did not
shave himself; in fact, he saad not
shaved himself for two or three days.
The next week barber came and
brought his favorite razor, and Mr..
Johnson was clean and smooth for his
coffin.
At first Mrs. Johnson insisted that
her husbands things should remain
just where he left them. And so in the
bathroom the straps and the homes and
the brushes and the soaps were ready
to be used, and the razors were In
order. The white-handled one was
nearest the glass, and the others ac-
knowledged Its claim.
Mrs. johnson would look at these
things, and tears would come to her
eyes. For the first month she kissed
the white-handled razor daily. Her
sister Maria, who had come to live
with her-"until l die said Lucy, ''for
know l shall follow Harry soon'-dis-
couraged her in "such nonsense" And
gradually Mrs. Johnson began to find
pleasure In life. One night when Mr..
Mortimer called she was persuaded to
play waltz, and she even sang pret.
ty song, entitled, Love for Eternity"

and was Chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee of the Thirty ninth
Congress-
After twelve years notable service In
the lower house he was elected United
States Senator from Vermont, receiy-
ing successive reflections. In that body
he had always been an authority on
finance and taxation. His Congression-
al record is unblemished by any hint of
jobbery and wire-pulling, and the poll
tician who approached" Mr. Morrill, to
secure his influence very quickly real
lied that he had made an objectionable
error In his knowledge of financial
legislation and his clear analysis of sta
tistics he resembled Gladstone, be-
tween whom and himself there were
many other strcng points of resem-
blance. He was In truth "a grand old
man." Mr.. Morrill, was man of charm
ing personality. He possessed quiet
elegance of person and manner and IA
courteous dignity. He had a magnifi-
cent physique and calm, kindly face.
