She first leisurly walks around
along the fence and measures the di.
lance from the ground up to the first
strand of wire and should it be stuff
GENTLY high in any place she very
gracefully lies down as close as posi-
BILE to it and on her side mechanically
slides under and out. If, however,
the wire is too near the ground to
permit of her performing this feat,
she calmly and deliberately goes up
to one of the posts and by humping
her avoirdupois against it several
times, it finally becomes loosened in
the ground. She then goes to the
next post and in the same unique
manner hammars it loose, and so on
until she has four or five of the posts
worked nearly out of the ground;
then she goes back half way between
the loosened posts, lowers her horns
underneath the bottom wire and
throws the fence, wire and posts over
her back and into the middle of the
lot and meekly but defiantly stands
freed.

1.-THE WooDsMAN's HANDBOOK"

Washington, D. c. Nov IA, 1902.
"The Woodsman's Handbook" the
first volume Of which is now in press
and is soon to be issued by the Blu
reau of Forestry, will be of great val
ue to lumbermen and foresters alike.
It's author, Henry S. Graves, director
of the Yale Forest School, has made
the attempt to collect all the rules in
use in this country and Canada for
finding the contents of standing tim
Der and of logs -, 16 and 20 feet in
length and of diameters from to 60
inches. He has compared them in
series of tables and described their
origin and mode of use. The Serb
ner, Doyle and New Hampshire rules
are printed in full; the rest appear in
part in the comparison tables. De-
scriptiOns are given of the methods of
estimating standing timber in use by
timber cruisers in different parts of
the country, and of the method adopt
ed by the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture. The Handbook contains also
an outline for forest working plan,
and descriptions of instruments of use
to the woodsman.
The second volume of the Hand
book which is to be published short
ly after the first volume, will contain
detailed directions for the study oil
age and growth of trees, including di-
ameter, height and volume growth. A i
most valuable feature will be a COM
pilation of the tables of growth, yield
tables and volume tables for all the
trees that have been systematically
studied in this country. The defects,
strength, durability and fuel value of
timber, the amount of tannin in bark,
specifications and weights of logs, and
weights of lumber will be discussed.
In addition. the second volume will
contain compound interest tables, ia
bles for converting metric to English
measure, and areas of circles.
The Handbook may be obtained,
when published, only through the Sen
ate, the House, or the Department of
Agriculture.

EBENEZER SHoRRocK.

e. Shorrock, whose photograph we
present on first page, is one of Seattle's
active, prosperous and prominent bust
i've prosperous and prominent bust
ness men. He was born AZ years ago
in Lancashire, Eng, and graduated
as B. A. of the London University.
Before coming to the Uniteu States
he secured a thorough business train
ing in London, Liverpool and Man
the East by the Land Mortgage Bank
of Northwestern America to take
charge of it's extensive investments in
this state, of which he still has en-
tire charge.
In the winter of 1900 Mr.. Shorrock
organized the Northwest Trust &
Safe Deposit Co., capital $4,000, of
which he is president and manager.
Mr.. Shorrock's idea was and is that
while as business grows it's capital
must expand; the ultimate and per-
manent success of such an institu-
ton depends more upon the charac-
ter, the ability and the conservative
ness of it's officers than upon the
amount of it's capital, and hence par
ticular care has been exercised in
their selection and in the selection of
heads of departments. Last year the
company opened a savings bank de-
partment, and about six months ago
added general banking. In the latter
department, however, no loans are
made on unsecured paper. The total
deposits have grown as follows:
March 1, $3.50; May 1, $2O,345; July
1, $42,696; Sept 1, 47,93S; Nov. 1,
S1,707.
In addition to it's Trust Department,
it has a Public Accounting Depart
ment and a Real Estate Department,
the latter being specially an adjunct
of trust companies in such cities as
st. Louis, which Mr.. Shorrock visited
some months ago.
It's premises have recently been en-
larged and now embrace quite a fine
banking room, private rooms for Off
GERS and customers and an entirely
distinct room underneath the main
premises for the real estate depart
ment. The officers and heads of de-
partments are: e. Shorrock, presi-
dent and manager; j. p. Hartman.
vice president; Alex. Mires, treasurer
and trust officer; J. V. A. Smith, cash
Ter; e. G. Shorrock, manager public
accounting department; A. Robinson,
manager real estate department.
Mr. Shorrock is an active trustee
of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce,
a member of the conference commit.
tee of Improvement Clubs, treasurer
of the Charity Organization Society
and president of the board of deacons
of Westminster Presbyterian Church.
He married in 1895, has a family OF
three boys, and his home is at the
corner of Highland drive and Seventh
avenue west. He was recently elected
a director of Seattle schools.

IN POLICE COURT.
DrunI<s and DisOrderIies Tell Tales
of Hot Weather and foundations.


Tales of hot weather. lusty and long
thirsts caused thereby, and temptations
too strong to bear, were the excuses
which Recorder Myrick listened to yes
terday morning, from the battalion Of
DRINKS lined up in front of the bar in
Police Court Some of the more pa
thetic stories were listened to with in
terest by the Recorder whose soft heart
was touched and many of the Offend
ers who would otherwise be thinking
the matter over behind bars are now
at liberty and are trying to digest the
advice given them by the Recorder be-
hind bars over which the Recorder is
supposed to have no jurisdiction.
The most popular excuse for having
imbibed too heavily yesterday was the
extreme heat of Sunday and there
were no cases on the docket for trial
more important than drunks and dis
orderlies. From the stories told in Po-
lice Court the Recorder would proba-

time when Patrolman Eagleston hove

AT the Casino"

The performance at the Casino this
week deserves special mention, as it
is one of the best seen here this sea-
son. The first number. the Ardrath
sisters, in a singing duo, do a very
neat singing act, then comes the great
Robin, who juggles with his eyes open
and shut, his hoop rolling is novel

a good advantage. He kept the audi
ence in a continual roar of laughter
from the time he made his appearance
until the curtain dropped. The show
should be witnessed in order to be
enjoyed. A good sized house greeted
the audience for an opening night.

A Self Made Man Must Not Expect
Riches.

From "The Evolution of Self Made
Men" by Grover Cleveland, in July
Success
There should be no cause for depres-
sion in recalling the fact that success
will not always bring to the self-made
man either riches or fame. Though
these rewards will be lavishly disWih-
uted, he to whom they may not he
forthcoming, if he endures to the end
and remains true to himself and his
mission, will have in his own keeping
d more valuable reward in the con-
seriousness of duty we'll and faithfully
performed.
Wealth should by no means be dis
paraged as representing success, pro-
Vided it is accompanied by a reasona-
BILE realiZa ton of the obligations it's
possession imposes. If wealth is the
best that can be exhibited as a result
Of success, it cannot do less than to
make its fair contribution to the well
fare of society. We have a right TO
complain of rich people, if, after
spending their lives in gathering
wealth, they find in its possession no
mandate of duty and no pleasure, save
in the inactive and sordid contempla-
ton of their boards and in expecting
the masses to fawn before them.
Sordidness is not confined to those
whose only success consists in riches.
There is a sordidness of education
more censurable, though perhaps less
exposed. There are those whose sue
cess is made up of a vast accumula-
ton of education who are as miserly
in its possession as the most avaricious
among the rich. No one is justified in
boarding education solely for his selfish
use. To keep it entirely in close Gus
tody, to take a greedy pleasure in It's
contemplation, and to utilize it only
as a means of personal and unshared
enjoyment, are more objectionable
than the clutch of the miser upon his
money; for he. in its accumulation, has
been subjected to the cramping and
narrowing influences of avarice while
he who boards education does violence
to the broad, generous influences which
accompany its acquisition.
The self-made man ought to see his
course so plainly as to make it easy
for him to avoid the wrong of sordid-
ness in the possession of any of the
rewards of his success. He ought espe-
cially and with clearness to apprehend
the binding force of the active and af-
firmative obligations which are laid
upon the rewards of success. Their dis
charge involves enlightened and dis
eliminating charity, the Inauguration
and encouragement of agencies for in
creased culture and information, intel
igent liberality in business, clear re-
gard for the interest and welfare of
those who toll. a constant eXemplif-
cation of the strength and nobility of
strict integrity, the Indictment, by pre-
cept and example. to frugality and
economy, the continual incubation of
the benefits and usefulness of educa-
ton in every occupation, the stimu-
Ia ton of genuine patTiOtiSTD ctllti-
walton of independent and thoughtful
political Judgment. and last but by no
means least a hearty and healthful
interest in the ministrations of relig-
len and the extension of a sound moral
sentiment.

THE MACON RIFLE PRACTICE.
Rejoicing over Governors Order
to Fifth Regiment.

Macon, July Three hundred and
fifty soldiers were enrolled here to-day
for the state shoot. The Savannah
teams came in on time and were given
quarters together in one of the streets
of the camp. Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday will be devoted to instruc-
ton, and Tuesday will be devoted to
teaching the soldiers in the company
streets how to fire at targets at close
range with minute loads of powder
in the shell. Col. Cam is delighted
with the rifle range. Some good work
is being done to induce the soldiers to
go to Savannah for the shoot to be
held there in August.
There was much rejoicing here to-
night when it was learned that the
Governor had ordered the Fifth Regi-
ment to attend the shoot. The range
is out near the Log Cabin Club, and
social functions have been arranged
for almost every evening during the
week. The club is keeping open house

POPULAR ISLE or HOPE.
A Notwithstanding Day for visitors
Except Holidays.


Except Holidays.
The season at Isle of Hope is prov
ing one of the most satisfactory in
the history of the island, and shows
the desire of the people to seek the cool
shades of that pleasant resort for rec
reation. On Sunday 2,400 fares We're
collected on the Isle of Hope line, which
means that 1000 passengers We're han
died. This is claimed to be the record
for any day except holidays or other
special occasion.
For its bathing Isle of Hope is also
coming to the front. Mr.. A NJ Bar
bee, owner of the pavilion and bath
houses there. reports that 200 bathing
suits We're let Sunday afternoon Aside
from the good facilities Mr.. Barbee has
for bathers the place is peculiarly
adapted for this recreation. Any depth
of water may be had and there are no
treacherous currents. Fatalities among
bathers are seldom heard of at Isle
of Hope. With the good order and
quiet, which is being maintained there
the place will not likely lose any of
its popularity as an attractive subur-
ban resort.
