SCRAPS OF REFLECTION.

II is amazing how much trouble a
human heart can hold without ex-
plodine.
1t is even more amazing how many
imaginary grievances some misguided
mortals can conjure out Of their own
thoughts.
Wait until you have real grief.
Wait until you have a trouble so deep
and terrible that you can't shed a
tear to save your life.
Then you'll wonder why you ever
wept your nose red because the collar
of your spring coat had o pair of
crows feet in Its seams. You'll be
amazed at your own foolishness for
worrying over wall paper that didn't
match the green rug.
When Death. the black camel that
kneels at every mans door," comes to
the household and lays a solemn, quiet
hand upon one Of your loved ones;
then when your gaze for a time is
fixed, In breathless awe. upon that
fearful chasm which stretches be-
tween this world and the next-when
you would cheerfully barter all your
worldly possessions for one more
"clasp of the hand that is gone, or
sound of the voice that is STILL" then
will you look back upon your life and
wonder what were the happenings
that you called troubles.
And there are worse things thsp
death.

He was q big silent man wholly abb

Respected by many, but loved BY
none, his employees said.
No one could be more just than he.
but those about him often wished he
was more like other men.
He was not conscious of the fact
that he threw a damper on every one
in the ONCE.
He had never known what q home
was in the true sense of the word.
His father had deserted his mother
when he was q few weeks old. and
the poor little woman had fingered I'M
til the lad was six years old.
He had loved her passionately. but
after she left him he had learned to
live within himself.
He had found the world q cold, hard
one to the homeless. but with a fine
physical inheritance and dauntless
courage he had worked his way up
from q carrier-boy to the proprietor of
one Of the largest newspapers in q
large metropolis.
He was never q social creature and
refused all invitations.
He knew very few women and they
rarely saw his best side.
He lived in q very quiet boarding

Mr.. Baker made frequent visits to
the city in which Miss Wells resided.

Good Story Told Of United States
Naval Officer.


Naval Officer.
A tribute was paid recently to the
late Capt. w. w. Reisinger, U. s. N,
at the Grand hotel. Capt Reisinger
was the kind of man you can obey
as an officer, respect as a man and
cherish as a friend" said F. c. Ches-
wick Of Washington. THE delayed
news of his death at Panama, which
came to us a week or so ago, was .
great shock to his many friends in
Washington, Annapolis, Pensacola and
elsewhere. remember an anecdote
OF the man which brings out the stuff
there was in him. He WAS q little
man-hardly over the limit to get into
Annapolis, l should say-but he al
ways insisted on being obeyed
to the dot, and he always or
dered everything to be kept right
up to the mark. About ten years
ago, more or less, he was executive
officer of the receiving ship Dale, at
the Washington Navy Yard, and used
to keep the new men pretty hard at
work shining up brass and the like.
Some OF them, especially the big fell
lows, didn't overmuch relish the novel
sensation of being bossed around by
such little chap as they put it, and
used to pass around remarks about
how easy they could do him up some
time on duty. He overheard some of
those remarks and one day when he
was on duty he appeared among the
men, took on his coat and asked for
volunteers in the task of doing him
up. He was a football man at An
napolis. and fully able to take care
OF himself anyway. But the men re-
spected his grit without trial. and
obeyed him gladly after that."-New

Indian Boys and Girls Taking to Do

Indian schools all over the Southwest
have recently adjourned for the sum-
mer, and the students are being en-
ployed very rapidly by those who keep
servants. The Indian boys make ex-
cellent cooks. while an Indian girl,
once trained, is a fine maid of all work,
modish hairdresser and endowed
with an Unborn taste which becomes
picturesque when combined with a few
civilized touches. The system of train
ing now bestowed upon the red chill
dren at school teaches them to become
servile to their superior-the paleface,
and the present generation in training
have become SO accustomed to serving
their paleface teachers that they are

hold as servants. Herein may lie the
solution of the servant-girl question
for time, at least.
Indian youths are strong, agile. and
II brought up by the right kind of
methods are perfectly willing to work.
They are healthy and quick of limb.
This makes an excellent combination
for servant. Statistics of the Indian
taken recently show that OF the 5000
workers among the various tribes 5000
of them are employed as helpers in the
houses of the palefaces. You never see
the Indian servant at his or her best

A FORMER YAklMAM
ELECTED TO MASSACHUSETTS
LEGISLATURE
Richard Olney, the Second, and a
Staunch Democrat, receives
Nice Majority over Repu-
lican Opponent

Richard Olney, former popular
young Yakiman, has been elected to the
state legislature of Massachusetts,. His
many admiring friends in this section
will he pleased to note this bit of infor-
nation. The Boston Globe of Nov. 8,
gives sketch of Mr.. Olney and splen.
did half-tone likeness: We clip the fol-
lowing from its columns:
The election of Richard Olney I'd to
the Massachusetts legislature from the
9th Worcester district, Tuesday, brings
into state politics the youngest member
of the family made famous by President
Grover Cleveland's secretary of state,
Richard Olnev, of Boston, who is uncle
to the young man who bears the same
name.
The latest aspirant for state honors
has the distinction of winning by 1877
votes in republican district, where he
defeated Nathan G. Bryant, of Spencer,
who is chairman of the board of select
men of his town.
Mr.. Olney held similar position in
his home town of Leicester and his pop
ularity is shown by the fact that he
carried Leicester, republican town, by
vote of $40 to 225 for Mr.. Bryant.
Mr.. Olney's political influence in his
own town is shown by the fact that he
carried it for Col. VIM. A. CASTOR, the
democratic candidate for governor.
Mr.. Olney is still young man to hold
such a responsible position in the affairs
OF Leicester, being only 81 years old.
He was born in Milton, N. H., the son
of George w. Olney, and came to Lei
cester in 1874. He attended the public
schools of the town and the Leicester
academy, finishing his education in
Brown university, class of '02.
While in Brown he took a leading
part in college athletics and was mana
ger of the Brown athletic team in his
senior year. After leaving college he took
up newspaper work and for 21s years
he was on the Worcester Spy.
He then went to the state OF Washing
ton where he engaged IN the real estate
business, ranching and mining. He
spent 1895 in Minnesota and came home
in 1897 and took up the wool business in
which his father had been engaged.
In order to thoroughly learn the bust
mess he entered the Olney mills in
Cherry valley as a wool sorter and after
a time in the service of Boston wool
house he entered the wool securing
mills of E. Frank Lewis of Lawrence,
where he remained year.
When he had learned all he needed to
about the business he opened an office
at 275 Congress street, Boston, where he
is now engaged in the sale of wool and
waste.
Mr.. Olney is modest in his manner,
but he has the force of character that is
so we'll developed in his illustrious uncle
and he has the habit of getting there
when he starts out to do anything.

Fruit Growers Union Meets.

afternoon, but the meeting was not lack
ing in interest on that account. State
inspector of agriculture. Won Holder
beke was present, and addressed the
members at some length on the Goblin
moth and its injuries to fruit and sug-
costing remedies, especially urging the
necessity of spraying.
General Manager J. M. Perry, of the
union, had expected to have a report
ready to be read at the meeting, but
owing to the fact of many car loads of
fruit yet to be shipped and some which
have been shipped, vet to be heard from
the business could not be gotten in
shape so as to make report satisfac-
tory. Treasurer w. L. Wright's report
shows money on hand in excess of ex-
penditures.
There are now 1872 members, nearly
three times as many as the promoters of
the union had any idea of securing this
season.
William Liable, who has been travel
ing in North and South Dakota, Mon
tana and Idaho working up market for
Yakima apples, has succeeded in selling
about $1,000 boxes up to date, which is a
creditable showing. The meeting ad-

city hall, at which time Manager Perry
hopes to have full report ready. All
the members are requested to be present.
