story of a Wire Mattress.

Portland Oregontan.
 Bronson had never taken wire mat tress to pieces. but he, always thought he could. The mattress was too big to go up the stairway uf the new house. except on the installment plan, and 1t had to go up there, the thing being so ordered by Mrs. Bronson. Bronson ex- amined the mattress and found that 1t was composed of four modified scantlings framed together by bolts and kept firm by the wire web He diagnosed the case after he had searched half or three-quar- ters of an hour, he found the wrench. He noticed that the nuts on the bolt turn ed hard. but said that they were rusty, and a little patience would conquer When the nuts finally came off the two end frames flew together like long-lost sisters, and shut Bronson up in the folds of the web like salmon Tn a gillnet. He got out after a while, and when he ex- pressed himself sufficiently, carried the mattress upstairs, where he set about putting 1t together again. To his sur prise he found that the web had shrunk about fo IF sizes, and that the frames re- fused to resume their former positions. He tugged and hauled for a while, but the sticks had an irritating habit of Wrenching themselves out of his grasp and Joining forces, and he always hap pened to be in the trajectory of one of them. At last he nailed two of the scant- ling to the floor and began drawing the other two into their places. Mrs. Bron- son here entered the struggle. but still further endorsements were required. and the children came. The family lined up along one stick and pulled until Bron- Son strained his wrist, and let go. Then the web got in its work and two children were thrown violently to the ceiling, while Mrs. Bronson, caught by the escaping frame, was knocked breathless. Bronson said a few things, gathered up the chil- dren and renewed the attempt But the esprit de corps was gone from the com munity efforts, and after few further trials, in which the list of injured was like that of an excursion train accident Bronson summoned neighbor. The two men toiled all the afternoon, and then the neighbor let go of the straining wei at the wrong time. It was Bronson's jaw that suffered. Bronson thought he did it purposely, and the two fought earnestly and convincingly for half m hour at the end of which time the neigh bor's wife came and called him to supper
 My dear" said Bronson, that evening when the doctor had left the house, 'l think if the secondhand man will give youN25 cents for that mattress. you haC better take 1t. I always despised that secohd hand man. and this will be a glo. riou9 opportunity to show my ill-will to- ward him.

Latest of the Numerous Sins Charg-

London. July st.-The latest of the numsr- ous sins charged to America by I.ondoners Is responsibility for the high prices of food.
 The increase in the cost of meats and other necesaries of subsistence reaches figures this week never paraileled bfore in London.
 The representatives of the Chicago meat packers deny that any abnormal prices of meats are chargeable to the American ship pers Both they and the retailers are com plaining that there is no money in the bust ness All concerned say they would be glad enough to suspend business until more normal
 The representative Of one of the big Chi caRo concerns, when questioned by a repre- sentative of the Associated Press as to why the wholesale prices of meat were pence higher this week than they were at this time year ago, said:
 fit Is due to various causes, but not in the least degree to the combinations of other schemes of Americans. Australia's freesinS plants have been shut down on account Of the drought there cattle have suffered and Aus traIian shipments have fallen of three-quar- ters The embargo placed bS the Government on Argentine cattle on account of diseases has increased the scarcity of meat. The primary causs of the high prices If American bees is the scarcity of corn and feeding material. Then the American farmer is selling corn at higher prices instead of feeding 1t to cattle.
