send three dollars the company would
forward her a dozen pieces of velvet,
for which they would give her 80 cents

Mrs. Smith was easy, so she sent

dozen samples, all of which were out
lined with chalk. Mrs. Smith worked
diligently and soon had the work COM

A Nebraska soldier who served faith
fully in the Philippine campaign, new
er missing scrap his regiment was
engaged in, writes home to his wife:
Il see they are preparing to give US
a grand banquet when we return to
Omaha. That's all right, but l want
something to eat before that banquet
comes off. And | want it at home
| want it on the table when l get
home, too. What do I want? Well,
here's the list:
"Sirloin stake, rare.
Hot biscuits and plenty of them,

Flour and milk gravy, about three
quarts.
Mashed potatoes.
Apple sauce.
Corn on the cob, II ears.

ready. We have had plenty to eat
since reaching San Francisco, but when
things are camp-coOked they all taste
alike. Cook EN- yourself, and don't
think because I've been away over
year you can ring in any hired-girl
cooking on me. When l get through
with this bill of fare I'll be ready to

Named by . Pirate.

Steamships were as yet unheard of,
but immigration from Ireland to the
New World was well under way when
James Wilson and his young wife
sailed in July, 1920, from LOndonder-
ry, Ireland, to join the colony of the
same name in New Hampshire,
The ship was slow and badly armed.
So when pirate bark one day over
hauled her there was no thought OF
resistance, which could only madden
the pirates to bloody vengeance. The
bearded men swarmed aboard, tied up
the crew and the male passengers, and
picked up their valusbles for removal.
Finally their leader went into a cabin,
where Mrs. Wilson lay on berth.

A Big Fish cannsrY.

The capacity of the plant of the Pa

Fairhaven, Wash, on Puget Sound, is
5000 cases a day. Each case con-
tains As l-pound cans. The output
varies according to the carch $4,000,

night by electric light supplied by the
companys own plant.
The present market price ofcanned
salmon being S. per case, 5000 cases
a day bring $4,000, or 10000 cases
a month, $750,OOO monthly. This is
by far the largest salmon csnnery in
the world. Two hundred Chinese
and 400 white men, women and chill
dren are employed in the csnnery,
besides 400 more at the traps and on
scows and tugs.
1t is an interesting sight to visit the
mammoth hive of busy workers.

elusive of Offices, blacksmiths' shops
and other accessories, well lighted by
windows in the roof. At the farther
end lie mountains of salmon, just as
they are dumped from the tugs. Ev-
cry minute additions are made to the
pile, tumbling down a shoot to the
floor, their slipperiness sending them
wriggliDg over one another as though
they were alive. Here they are seized
by Chinese, who cut off heads, tails
and fins, lay thsm open and, remov-
ing the entrails, throw them into
trough of fresh water. They next re-
ceive a second washing and are put
into a machine, which cuts them in
chunks of convenient size for canning.
AS they come IRON the machine, men
with murderous-looking knives cut
any piece too large and trim of con-
siderable fragments. They next go
to the tables where women and girls
of every shade of color and nationali-
ty, up to their elbows in raw feb,
cram the cans with all they will hold,
trimming off the top with knife. In
the next stage the cans are seen slid
ing along the middle of a table, at
each side of which are Chinese, some
Of whom lay small fragment Of sheet
tin on top to prevent the solder from

fish, while others put on the covers,
which seem to fit as tightly as though
they were soldered. The next pro-

placed in a square iron cage. taken

top of of each can. The fish is put
up very cleanly, but one cannot help

have small appetite left for such re-
freshment.

Oromneo

Last Sunday afternoon a number Of
young men from Chanute wele swim
ming in the Neosho river, just below
town, near the Island, when viii
Haml lton, a young man Is years old,
started TO swim out to log In the
water. The other bathers paid no
particular attention to this, suppos-
ing him to be good swimmer. Sud-
denly they became aware that young
Hamilton was unable to proceed or
help himself. The two who were
nearest started to his assistance, but
were neither expert swimmers, and
before they got in reach Of him he
had sunk for the last time. The wa
ter at this point is some 10 or u feet
deep, with strong current. The par
ties present, after trying III vain to
recover the body, came to town and
gave the alarm.
Diligent efforts were made Sunday
evening and night to recover the
body, which, however, was not found
until Monday morning, when Frank
Sheets appeared upon the scene with
a kind of drag hook. BY swimming
down stream with the current and
dragging the hook he managed to To-
cate the body Walt McClain then
came to his assistance, and by diving
in about II feet of water managed to
raise the body, which was brought
ashore.
Young Hamilton was the son of
Mrs. Hudkins, of this city, and was
an honest, sober, hard. working boy,
He had worked in Bridges meat shop
for the last year or more and was uni
verSally respected.
Some have been inclined to censure
those who we're with him for not rem
dering assistance, but we are inclined
to think, upon Investigating the mat
ter, that no censure is due, as the
pdl OICH uCdI hL'u "OiO oOdlOolJ dDl0 w
make the swim necessary to reach the
bank themselves.
1t is one of those melancholy acci-
dents that will occasionally occur and
seem entirely unavoidable.
The remains were tendcrly laid
away il E&lwood cemetery Monday
evening.

The excessive rains on the after
noon and night of the third brought
the Neosho up with a boom and al
m ost the whole bottom has been under
water two or three days. The levees
generally broke and most of the crops
along the river are destroyed. 1t is a
sad blow to the farmers on this strip
of fertile land. Their whole years
work is gone. In many cases where
they were relying on the levees, they
made no effort to get their stuff out
and lost pigs and chickens as well as
crops. The leyees were sorely tried
and wherever there was weak pace
the water broke through. This is
very ydiscouraging but shows more than
ever the wisdom of the levee-law and
the recessity of levees. In most or
all cases when the levees broke they
were known to be incomplete or defec-
tive. All they need is little strength
ening in places and constant watch
ing anl the crops will be protected by
them.
