During the early part Of General But
ler's reign in New Orleans Gs officer Of
the Union army called on a wealthy
family with whom he had previously
been on the most friendly relations. As
the friends had often done him acts OF
kindness, the officer thought he might
at this time return the favors. He rang
the bell, but no one appeared at the
front door. Confident that the folks
were in the house, he went around to
the kitchen, where he found the col
ored lady servant, whom he asked as
to the whereabouts of her mistress.
"De misses am done gone away" said
the old aunty.
"Then where is the daughter. Miss
Mary~
Miss Mary am also done gone"
Confident that the family were in
the house the officer said he was going
into the parlor to wait until they came
back, and, suiting his action to his
words, walked into the elegantly fur
nished parlors and proceeded to amuse

lying on the piano. 1t was some time
before any one came In, but finally he
heard rustllng of silk on the stair
way, and the daughter Mary came
haughtily into the parlor. The Union
officer arose and offered his hand,
which was refused. She heaped all
sorts Of abuse on the officer and told
him her mother said II she should see
him wounded and dying she would not
give him drink Of water.
After the fall of Vlcksburg the same
officer came to New Orleans, in COM
mand of the flagship Black Hawk, with
orders for Admiral Farragut. The first
night he reached the Crescent City he
was notified that a lady was on the
boat DESTROYS Of seeing him. He went
to the forward cabin and found Mrs.
-, who in 1862 treated him so shah
lily, and had said she would do nothing
for him IL he was brought back to her
house dying.
Certainly you are not Mrs. -"
said the officer, stating what her daugh-
ter reported she had said.
ooh, yes, | am" said she. 81 never
said what you repeat. We are no longer
Confederates. Pierre has twelve hun
dred-dollar clerkship in the postoffice,
Walter has nine hundred-dollar place

is in the signal service. Mary and

lions in the postoffice, and cousin lie
Bert is to be appointed solicitor or
something, and Uncle lie Blass is soon

so glad to see you. We are all Union
now, and l want you to come to our
house and make it your home as long
as you stay in New Orleans. How glad

One Of the most important features
of the annual statistics is the review
of the lumber resources of the Middle
herman, covering the output of pine
and hemlock lumber and possibilities
of future productivity in Michigan,
Minnesota and Wisconsin and lumber
manufacturing points in Iowa and ILL
nois on the Mississippi River. The
white and Norway pine lumber output
In 1901 was 5,372. $50, 600 feet; of shingles,
2,476,6S4 600 pieces; of lath, 1,30O,S93,'
600 pieces. The pine product showed a
decrease of 113,O00,OO0 feet. The high
or prices last year stimulated produc'
ton and selling and stocks were
brought down so that with a continued
demand prices are expected to keep up.
The production of pine lumber last
year, 5,372, 600 feet. as compared
with S,597 ,623 600 feet produced in 1890,
would suggest that the time is really
approaching when this great lumber
interest will decline and Northern
white pine will disappear as lumber
material In the market, unless steps
are taken by scientific treatment to re-
new the growth, and the Southern and
Pacific coast forests will have to supply
the lumber demand. The American
Lumberman says that the decline in
output was checked last year only by
the most strenuous exertions and moth
ing like such an output can be looked
for In 1902. OF course, we have all
heard for years that our white pine for.
ests are rapidly falling beneath the
blows of the incisive American AK, and
such large output as that of last year
would seem to give discredit to the eX-
haustlon theory, but there is reason to
believe that the American Lumberman
Is right, and that the decline in the out.
put since 1890 will continue. In Maine
there is still considerable output of
pine lumber because there has been in
tervention and there Is some attention
paid to the protection of the younger
growth of timber. The plan which oh,

"rhcre Is very little success where
there is little laughter The workman
who rejolces in his work and laughs
away it's dlscomforts Is the man who
is sure to rise" Thus Andrew Carne-
gle, a man who has probed deeply into
the philosophy Of success. 1t Is only
necessary to look into the faces of the
successful men everywhere to prove
Mr.. Carnege's assertion. Pessimists
do not usually get on. 1t is your ever
hopeful, ever-smillng, hearty-laughing
optimlst who fails to see the lions In
the way. Difficulties dissolve In the
magic of laugh. The man who sees
only the dark side Is dlsmayed by the
darkness. There Is no darkness to the
man who sees 1.-The light that never
was on land or sea-" The light In the
eye of the enthusiast dispels the gloom.
A disposition to laugh is sign of good

be cultivated. Much of course depends
upon temperament. Some persons are
bound to perpetual melancholy by
heredlty. With most persons, however,
laughter Is cultivated habit. The
habit comes from a persistent DISPOSE
ton to take every advantage Of every
opportunity to laugh. 1t Is easier to
laugh than to cry. 1t is easier to laugh
than to grow glum and impervious to
the humor that is all about and only
waiting to be discovered. 1t Is yours
by right of discovery. And it pays big
dividends.

DR.. E. A. Sloan of Roslyn has about
completed plans for the erection of a
two-story business block at the corner of
Yakima avenue and First street. AS
soon as the Greene Mercantile company
vacates its present quarters in the cor
ner building work on the structure will
be commenced. The building when
completed will have frontage of rs feet
on the avenue and 140 feet on the side
street. The two frame structures will
be moved and replaced by stone, and
when the second story is reached it will
overlap the Richelieu restaurant build
ing on the avenue and the building &C.
cupied by the North Yakima drug store
and that part vacated by D. N. Keene
on First street. The whole building will
be of stone with the latest conveniences
on the inside. The whole first floor will
be for store purposes and the second will
contain flats. There will be large base
ment under the corner, which will be
used by G. L. Brown as barber shop.

SHEEP SHEARING PLANT.
Another Important Industry for North Yakima
Established BY Coffin Bros.

Coffin Bros. have purchased 10 acres
of nd south of the stock yards and will
build thereon a complete 20-machine
sheep shearing plant with corrals, pens,
feeding sheds, separating yards and all
the accessories that go with a complete
plant of this kind. The Northern Pa
cifc railway company will build a side
track to the yards for the convenience of
sheep or cattle shippers who may wish
to unload and feed. 1t is also the inten-
ton to use the premises as sale yard
for any and all kinds of stock where the
buyer and seller can meet Tuesdays of
each week.
The sheep shearing machines clip the
wool off the sheep in a neat, smooth
manner and do not cut the animal. A
half inch longer staple of wool is OBJ
tanned, which brings from one to two
cents per pound more on the market.
1t is the intention of Coffin Bros. to use
these machines on their own sheep as
well as for any other wool growers who
may wish to take advantage of this
method.

Settled With County Officials.

The county commissioners have eff
fected settlement with the other county
officials in the matter of back salaries.
The officials claim that by the census Of
June, 1900, the grade of the county was
raised, thus increasing their salaries
correspondingly as is provided by law.
They had been receiving the pay of
counties of $500 population and under,
and as the census runs the population up
to 5000 they were entitled to the extra
pay. The commissioners settled by
paying the following amounts to the re-
spective office holders: Auditor, E. E.
Kelso, 1888 clerk, G. L. Allen, sll6.66
treasurer, w. B. Dudley, $l75; sheriff,
H. L. Tucker $175; county attorney,
