"Last spring, after trying many doc

WOOD FOR THE STOVE.
Many a Tired Farm Wife IL Com
PEELED to Do Her Cooking Under
Trying Condition..

Nothing is more exasperating to a
woman than burning wet, soggy
wood. On a cold morning to have
the house filled with smoke instead
of heat sets all things wrong. Then
many loaf of bread is indigestible
and unwholesome because the wood
was green and wouldn't enable the
cook to control the heat of the oven,
giving too slow fire, and then,
when not required, too hot fire.
These are phases of burning green
wood with which the most of the
farmers wives are only too ia
miliar.
Green wood is so per cent. heavier
than dry wood because of the excess
of moisture. This Of course increases
the expense of hauling, if green
rather than dry wood is used, for
only half as much of the green wood
can be hauled on a load as OF dry
wood. Don't argue that the horses,
boys and yourself are not very busy
and your time and labor don't count.
Such logic added to rooms filled
with smoke is what will leave you in
old age alone on the farm. Time
and muscles are many times the
farmers only capital and should
never be unwisely expended.
Then, aside from increased expense
in hauling, so per cent. of the heat
is consumed in evaporating the wa
ter in the green wood. Now figure
how much more swinging of the ak
is necessary if you have provided
green wood for fuel this winter. 1t
takes good business push and a
knowledge of farm economics to cut
wood and cord it up to dry out for
another seasons use. This is an
other evidence that energy and
knowledge are as large factors in
success on the farm as in other lines.

"A Lot o. AIR"

The inhabitants of the little town
of Somersby, in England, where Ten
nyson was born, are frank in giving
their opinion of their distinguished
fellow townsman. One old woman
thus related her impressions of the
poet to a visitor:
"'E was very quoiet man. e
seemed as if e was 'alf asleep, with is
Dyes 'alf shut an peepin'; an e used
to poke at ye, loike i fun, wi is stick
e 'ad such lot O. air und La long beard,
and (sinking her voice confdentially)
"'e never looked very clean, no, e did
n't.'
And this somewhat startling testi-
mony was promptly confirmed by her
husband, who added:
"If you'd met i'm gooin' along thus
dusty rooad. you'd "a taxen i'm for a
tramp gooin' to Brigg for nights
lodgin'."-Youth's Companion.

THE AFFAIR Of
BUNKER THE
BOOKKEEPER

rTHE boys in the brokers' office
always had made butt OF
Bunker. Bunker was the bookkeep-
er, taciturn and rather solemn-look-
ing at all times. The boys called
him 1.-The old man." Bunker was 40
and 1.-The boys" were 81 or there
abouts. All sorts of jokes were
played on old Bunker, but he never
showed the slightest sign of resent
ment. If any of the shafts of weak
witticisms which were hurled at him
day in and day out pricked there
was no wincing. The cubs finally
came to the conclusion that Bunker
was dense physically and mentally.
How this may have been nobody per-
haps but Bunker knew definitely, but
he was good bookkeeper, and that
was as far as the real old man of the
Office cared to inquire.
"Teddy" Long. the office masher,
who wore patent feathers from
Christmas to Christmas, and knew
all the latest things in fancy vests
and flowing ties, used to say that il
a woman should speak to Bunker the
old man would fall dead. When it
happened on rare occasions that
woman would drop into the office
to make an inquiry about something
Bunker would send one of the boys
to answer her questions. Once or

swept into the crevices between cakes.
When freezing cold, a little water is
sprinkled over the whole surface to
cement the layer solidly together.
AS each layer is completed the saw
dust should be filled in around the sides

down. Allow no sawdust to remain
on top of the various layers until the
icehouse is filled. The figure shows the
sixth layer in and ready for the saw
dust. Ice is preserved by being packed
away from the air. AS hot weather
comes on the ice will settle some. Be
sure to keep the sawdust tamped down
around the sides frequently during
early summer and see that NO air holes
form.
When the ice is all packed in, cover
with 10 to Is inches of sawdust. Leave
the gables open more or less to allow
free circulation of air over the ice.

Pure Ice on the Farm.

twice the cubs succeeded in getting
Bunker himself to wait upon the fe-
male visitor, and then they lay back,
mctaphorically speaking, and enjoyed
themselves hearing the old man slut
ter and stammer and in seeing him
blush rosy red while trying to an
swer the fair visitors queries. They
came to the conclusion in the Office
that Bunker was not woman hater
simply because it wasn't in his dis
position to hate anything or any
body. They put it down that with
him it was a plain case of just wom-
an scared.
The Office was on the twelfth floor,
and it's windows looked out over the
roof of a low building just beyond.
Teddy Long had desk at one win
dow. Teddy frequently was more
occupied with the office behind the
windows in the twelfth story of the
building beyond than he was with
the business in his own Office. 1t
was law firm that held the prem
Uses opposite, and the lawyers were
known to the boys in the brokers'
office for the frequency with which
they changed their typewrting staff.
About once month new face, and
always a pretty one, would appear
in front of the machine back of the
legal windows. One morning Teddy
Long cast his eyes across the way,
and there he saw new face behind
the big window pane. AS he told the
other boys few minutes after, this
gone before "beat to DEATH"
"She's a daisy, fellows" said Teddy.
"When you get chance go to the
window and shy a look over there.
She's got black hair, swapping eyes,
red cheeks and daisy figure"
Distant inspection by the other
young members of the brokers' staff
fully confirmed Teddy's opinion Of
the new arrival. The next morning
Teddy sat at his desk biting the end
of pencil and stroking his upper lip
where there was just the faintest
'substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not SEEM Teddy
had been casting languishing glances
in the direction Of the typewrting
charmer in the lawyers office. He
knew she had seen him, but as far
as any evidence that she cared to
pay any attention to him was con-
cerned the girl might have been
stone wall. Teddy was nettled.
Things had been easy for him at
other times, and his bump of conceit
now had a dent in it. Joy! All at
once the charmer looked up and
smiled, showing set of even white
teeth in a framework of scarlet.
Teddy smiled back and nodded al
most imperceptibly. There was
very decided bow in return, and
Teddy went soaring. Instantly, how
ever, the young woman turned again
to her machine and her white fin
gers went flying nimbly over the
keys. Though she might be bit
given to flirting, the young woman
apparently did not mean that the
little weakness should divert her
mind too long from her work.

MIR. HILL ON THE STAND

Spokane Spokesman and Review.
Mr. Hills testimony confirms the general
belief that his merger is hard and fast
consolidation Of the Great Northern, the
Northern Pacific and the Burlington. This
was achieved by the following successive
steps:
Step One-The Community of interest be-
tween the Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific, brought about by an INTERCHANGE
between their large bond and stockholders of
the securities Of the two companies.
Step Two-The purchase by the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern OF majority Of
the stock of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy In payment the two companies
issued their joint bonds and exchanged them
for Burlington stock-$2 in bonds for each
81 in stock.
Step Three-The organization Of the North
ern Securities company, with $AoO. 600 900 capt.
talization, and its purchase Of the majority
OF the stocks of the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific on the basis of 1855 Of its
stock for 800 Of Great Northern and $115 for
$1OO Of Northern Pacific.
This is something more than community Of
interest. 1t is consolidation; ana when Mr.
Hill and his ..'incense burners argue that
the three roads are to continue on independent
lines. they are as ingenious as the little
girl who offered to carry her doll II her
father would carry her.

society. but society Is in all capitals a
clog to public business. The influences
exerted on legislation and public business
by society are generally vicious. The
legislator who lives simply in little
boarding house or hotel will do more for
his constituents than the one who enter
tains seven evenings in the week, occu-
pies grand house and generally strives
to be swell.
With cabinet members the social pres
sure has already reached the point where
it has become practically impossible for
man without considerable private means
to accept such an Office. And if the
salary were doubled or trebled it would
be only a little time until, to keep UP with
the pace, they would have to have still
more.
1t may seem old-fashioned and savoring
OF the days Of national poverty rather
than these days Of Astounding wealth to
say so. but what is needed at Washington
is more simplicity, more attention to pub
lie business and devotion to the national
veal, and less 'sassiety''. and less dis
play.

HOEVEL QUARTET CONCERT

AS compared with the two preceding con-
certs given by the Hoevel String quartet at
the First Unitarian church, that of last night
could scarcely be said to have showed any
marked improvement as to the work OF the
quartet itself. In some respects it was better
than it has been before, and this was notable
in the tonal quality Of the ensemble. The in
struments seemed to be more in sympathy
with each other and there was less individual
prominence. On the other hand, save on the
Haydn quartet which closed the program,
there was distinct loss of tprecision and at
tack which detracted from the perfection Of
the Interpretation, at times quite seriously.
The opening Choral by Bach, always de-
lightful, was played with the sordino, and
save for a lack of complete unity was very
enjoyable. 1t was not, however, so well rem
dered as was the opening Bach number Of the
first concert. The only other numbers played
by the quartet were "a Quartet" by Schu-
bert, opus 1925, No. /, and Haydn's opus rs,
No. 1. Both were very enjoyable, but the
latter went with better spirit, it seemed to
me- not solely becaue Of its animated move
ments but because 1t had received the more
careful rehearsal and attention
Messrs. Hoeve1, Strachauer and Woodruff
PLAYED the Andante movement from Beetho-
ven 8 Trio opus 81, with but fair results. The
piano for some inscrutab1e reason was left
open during the entire concert. and for that
reason became unduly prominent, not only
for this number, but also in the vocal num-
bers A little more attention to details of
this sort, minor in themselves but all Of
which go to add to the enjoyment Of the au-
dience, would be wise.
The soloist of the evening was Miss Clara
Williams soprano. She sang recitative and
aria from Handlers "Alessandro'' and two
ballads, Venetian Song by Bemburg. and
the Daughter Of Cadiz," recently sung here
by Nordica. Miss Williams singing was ex-
uuisitely sweet and pure. and her execution
was faultless. The selections were calculated
to display her voice and its superb training
to the best advantage, and were greatly en-
joyed. She was obliged to respond to an en-
core, and sang who Will Buy My Laven-
der?" -Boardman.

BUSINESS MEN AND THE TAX LAW

The petition published in T h e Jour-
a l to-day, which the business interests
of Minneapolis vii! present to the Hen
nepin delegation in the legislature in OPP
position to the proposed tax law will
carry great weight. After scanning the
list Of names attached to this petition
names representing all the chief business
interests Of olis-there can no
longer DE any doubt that our business
men are profoundly alarmed by many Of
the features Of the proposed law 1t is
probable that in some instances they are
more alarmed than they can possibly be
hurt. But the uEdeniable fact remains
that they are alarmed, and alarmed to
such an extent that the adoption of the
law without substantial amendment
would create in them state Of appre-
tension bordering on panic. And such a
state Of mind would tempora rily at least,
cause the same effect that actual damage
would.
1t was in recognition of these facts on
the one hand, the possibility of the adop-
tion Of the law as it stands to go into i'm

constitutional amendments, without which
there can be no real tax reform in this
state.
h G j Journal is not stubbornly

though it still believes it the best course
yet proposed. The need for tax reform is
pressing. 1t has been recognized for

a general disposition to accept the report

the fruit of Il years work by three men
we'll qualified for the task. No law can
or ever will be passed that will satisfy all
interests. The Journa has in mind
the general best interests of the state and
city and would regret any legislative ac-
ton that would bring to naught the pres

OTHER PEOPLES NOTIONS
I4tian, Not Raphael


To the Editor Of The Journal:
The Journal, in common with other
papers, in referring to the possible sale Of
the Borghese picture gallery in Rome to
parties in the United States, refers to the
famous picture therein known as Sacred and
Profane Love-" as having been painted by
Raphael. This is q mistake. 1t was painted
by Titan, and there never was any dispute
in regard to this fact. It was one of his
earliest great pictures, painted in 1908, when
the master was but Fl years of age. The
name by which English speaking people
know the picture is misnomer. Perhaps
the italian name would be better interpreted
as Earthly and Heavenly Love- or, as
some have It, ''Artless and Stated Love-" It
represents two female figures by a we'll, with
Cupid in the background. The figure to-
the right is almost nude, and is supposed to
be the one that represents Sacred Love, while
the other figure is a Venetian beauty sitting
near by. This is not one of the painters
greatest works. He had not found his own
style when he painted it, but was working
largely under the influence Of Geirgione
Raphael never painted a work of this charac-
ter. At that period of the renaissance, among
the great painters, only a Venetian would
desist long enough from painting religious
pictures to paint one so clearly allegorical
