Wintering a Boy.

An exchange gives the following as
the proper prescription to follow in
"wlntering boy" After the winter
is over, the same prescription for the
summer may be continued to advant-
age.
Start him to school early in the fall,
and see that he has something to keep
him busy a part of every morning,
afternoon and evening.
Encourage him to eat three square
meals, passing up his plate as often
as he pleases, and then set the cook
ipg-pan and raisin-box out of his reach
between meals.
"Four sleds, good pair of skates,
and several baseballs are very import
ant for keeping him in good condition.
"a Boy and a dog fit each other
pretty we'll, but two wide-awake boys
dovetail together.
''Give him nine hours for slice D..
seven for study, four for work and
four tor play every day.
Sprinkle everything we'll with
praise.
"Stretch him once in while on a
high ideal of manhood.
"a pinch of giving up to others and
a dime savings bank are wholesome.
"Let him kick up his heels, but
teach him not to kick anything but air.
eff he is in love with his mother, his
grandmother and several other good
women, you need not worry lest he
run to girl nonsense.
IAN excellent exercise is tor him to
plant both knees on the carpet and
bury his face in the bed covers just be-
fore jumping in. God will take care of
what he says"

Banking Changes of.Local Interest.

8. G. Simpson, the leading Mason
County logger, has recently purchased
the controlling interest in the Capital
National Bank Of Olympia, the leading
banking Institution of the capital city,
and one of the most prosperous in the
state. Mr.. Lord, who estab Iished and
built up the bank, has purchased in
terest in the Washington National of
Seattle and will assume the duties of
cashier. His home in Olympia was
also sold to Mr.. Simpson, who, il is
said, intends establishing his family
there.
Mark E. Reed, who has made sue
cess in his management of the extern
sive business of the Lumbermen' s
Mercantile Company, of this place, has
been assigned as manager of the Capt.
tai National, and will take active
charge March 1st. Mr.. Reed, although
a young man, is capable and energetic
with large experience along business
and financial lines, and being brought
up in Olympia, few are better qualified
to conduct the extensive affairs of the
Capital National. While we may re-
greet to see Manager Reed leave Shell
ton, the call is deserved promotion
with increased remuneration, and pos
sibly even better things in store, and
therefore he is to be congratulated.
The new manager of the local business
has net yet been announced, but the
L. M. Co. will be very fortunate if
they secure nearly as capable a mana
ger to look after their. store and other
interests locally.
By this deal Mr.. Simpson becomes
the leading. factor in three strong
banking institutions, the Seattle Ma
tional, Capital National aud State
Bank of Shelton, considered among
the safest in the state. This, together
with Sound and Alaskan transporta-
ton propositions, mercantile, land.

haps other interests, gives Mr.. Simp-
son about as many ''irons in the fire."

The recent investment of Sol. G.
Simpson in this city is attracting con-
siderable interest throughout the state
says the Olymplan. Considerable
significance is attached to Mr.. Simp-
sons connection with the Capital Ma
tional bank, as the following from the
Seattle Times would indicate:
"The greatest significance is at
tached by local financiers to the pur-
chase by Sol. G. Simpson of Mr.. Lords
interest in the Capital National bank.
BY the acquiring OF the controlling in
terest in this institution Mr.. Simpson
completes sympathetic chain with
the First National of this city and the
State Bank of Shelton, in both of
which he is the moving spirit. A pro-
rninent banker expressed these views
on Mr.. Simpsons latest investment:
!" The building up of such power
full financial combine, coupled with
the fact that Mr.. Simpson is a large
O'hSA VI tAiAOCA ldhQS, Hills dUQ man.
-ufacturies in the territory adjacent to
these banking institutions, marks the
welding together of one of the largest
industrial consultations in the state.
The banks will furnish the capital for
the industrial enterprises and the fact
that millions are at hand will lead to
expansion in the superlatiye degree.
Mr. Simpson is now buying all the
timber land he can secure at reason
able figures and this means either
more mills or an increase in those al
ready in operation. Ipfedict that this
combination of capital and energy,
with its already huge ownings, will be-
come in time the largest commercial
syndicate in the state.'"

The Indian Basket T ad.

Among certain collectors a fad has risen
during the past few years for the collection
OF Indian baskets. They are often expen-
sive for it takes an Indian woman a long
time to make the better ones. On the res.
ervatlon the women often charge anywhere
up to five or six dollars apiece, but collec-
tors OF curios who buy them for sale some
times charge two or three as much. Hence
only those persons of considerable means
are able to buy any number, and when a
person has twenty or thirty she thinks she
has quite collection. The wife of one
millionaire in this State, to the writer S
knowledge, has about hundred gathered
from all over the coast.
The writer, living on a reservation, has
been asked to buy baskets from the In
dams for various parties, and has received
about $500 dollars, while two different per-
sons, one from Seattle and one from Port
land, have canvassed the reservation TAX
ing ST. 50 worth more These have gone 10
Walla Walla, Portland, Salem, Utah and
Colorado.
There is no accounting for tastes, and
the tastes of those who wish them is quite
different. One lady wanted mainly those
which we're old, but had never had berries
in them, simply having had clothes and
crCh fhfroc IN tsThox, Oh
said, have such rich brown color One
trader, however, when asked if she OBJ
jected to those which had had berries in
them said, mo, she preferred them, for if
they had had berries in them, the buyers
believe them to be of genuine Indian make,
but if they are new, they say that they
have been made in California and shipped
here for sale. A prominent merchant in
Portland wished one as birthday present
for his wife. He was happy when he had
bought one of an Indian who had it full OF
fruit. Women who live near the reserva-
ton and see such baskets daily, would
have felt insulted at such birthday gift.
Another gentleman spent over $40 for
them for birthday gift to his wife. Their
size, outside and inside appearance and
price were described to him beforehand in
letter. One of these was SO old that the
inside was covered with old berries and
berry stains, and the outside was consider
ably worn, SO that the figures were not
very plain. When he received them he
wrote how pleased he was, especially with
the old ones. Some very good new ones
have been sent away and the ladies who
received them have hardly found adjectives
in the English language enough to describe
their happiness, when they look at them.
A desire has been to have those which are
not ornamented with American colors. for
in ten or fifteen years they fade. while the
genuine Indian colors will last as long as
the baskets.
"What do white folks want of our old
baskets?" is question which many an In.
dian has asked, and have been much sur
prised when told that mistresses of city
mansions wished then that they might
adorn their parlors with them,

Deafness Cannot BE Cured


by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infiam-
ed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case
of Deafness fcaused by catarrh) that cannot be
