The "Bossing" Boy.

read Il story the other day of two
children who were playing together
in a large hall. They were brother
and sister, the brother being a year
or two older. The girl, weary of her
play, started, after a time, to climb
the stairs. Come down." said the
boy commandingly. "Come down, I
say; | want YOU" II want myself"
replied the spirited little girl, con-
tnuing on her upward journey.
There are many tender, self-sacri-
hcIng, protecting brothers, but this
story Is told for the boy who always
wants t" boss particularly the one
smaller and weaker than himself.
Inere Is a sense in which every boy
wants himself, the qualification of his

sound judgment in business and 9th
er matters, did more to make him one
of the greatest manufacturers in the
world than anything else did.
When MI. Carengie's parents lived
at Pattiemuir, a small village in
Scotland, during his early boyhood,
the school was very poor, and his
mother took him out of school to in
struct him herself. Some of the vii
lage boys called him "a mothers
boy" but Andrew Carnegie never
hung his head under the charge. It
is said that he sometimes used his
fists in return for the stigma the
boys sought to cast upon him. If
there is ever excuse for such action
it is in defense of ones mother.
Andrew Carnegie never swerved
IN his loyalty. When he became i'm
mensely wealthy, in fact during his
entire career, his mother was his
partner in every undertaking. She
shared his best hearts love, as well
as his money.
Let the boys give their mothers
reverent affection, and never let gifts
of money act a substitute.-Young

Owls in Winter.

Owls are really much commoner in
winter than one is led to believe by
the occasional specimens which are
seen abroad in the daytime. IF we
searched the hollow trees systematic
caHy this morning we should prob
ably discover several screech-owls,
and perhaps some of the larger spe-
cies. We might be surprised to find
some of the sreech-owls red and 9TH
ers gray, and, like the early ornith-
ologists, we might conclude that the
difference in color was due to differ
ence in age or sex. It is now known
that there are two distinct color
phases of this species not dependent
on either age or sex, though just
what they are dependent on is not
yet known.
When taken from their retreatslin
winter these birds frequently feign
death-shutting their eyes, and lying
perfectly still in the, hand. By and
by, when they find that little ruse
does not succeed, they will snap their
bills and bite and scratch in a solemn
but very effective manner. How they
manage to get enough to eat ON these
dark, cold nights is a mystery to
those unacquainted with the woods,
but as a matter of fact there is more
prey abroad on winter nights than is
generally supposed. Wild mice are
very numerous-a fact which is at
tested by their footprints on the
newly fallen snow-and owls are
most expert mouse-catchers. Their
hearing is so acute that not a
escapes them and they them
selves are so soft ON the wing that
hey do not alarm the game.-Janu-
ary Woman's Home Companion.

LITTLENESS RESENTED.
Al Omission that is Leading to Hot
Politics in California.

The appearance at the Whlte house
of President Benjamin Ide Wheeler,
of the University of California, has
attracted much attention and revived
a story of month ago in which the
President of the United States and
President Wheeler were the central
figures. 1t will be remembered that
when President Roosevelt was in Cal
ifornia he dedicated the University of
California.
The dedicatOry ceremonies was held
in the University's amphitheatre
which William Randolph Hearst DO
mated TO the University. 1t is WELL
known that Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, the
mother or Editor Hearst, is the chief
benefactOr of the University of Cali
fOrnia. She was made u Regent OF
the state because of her muniticent
donations to this institution.
For four years she has devoted her.
self exclusively to this seat of learn
ing. She hogan by announcing 3
worldwide competition for the Uni
versity plans and these plans alone
cost ultimately 100000. Her total
contributions are said to aggregate
81, 900, 1000.
President Wheeler on the occasion
of the dedication monies read the
names of all the donors except those
of Mr.. and Mrs. Hearst. The CalifOr-
MIA press and CalifOrnians generally
were indignant at this omission. No
one could understand why the name
of the chief benefactOrs of the Uui-
versity should be omitted when the
names of persons contributing COM
paratively small amounts were read.
More than 5000 persons were said TO
be present in the amphitheatre when
thelexercises occurred and President
Wheeler did not mention the name
of Hearst, presumably, because he
feared there would be great popular
demonstration on the part of the
audience and this demonstration, it
is assured, would have been annoying
to President Roosevelt.
The latest news, therefore, that
President Wheeler was guest at the
White House for three days and is
now mentioned as the one likely to
be appointed as minister TO the Hague
is attracting general attention.
Is President Wheeler now receiving
his reward for suppressing the name
of Hearst? Is be to be sent to the Hague
as an evidence of the fact that the
president is grateful to him for fail
ing to mention family name in
California which is revered and
esteemed?
But after all the main questions
are:
Why did President Wheeler fail to
mention the names of Hearst at the
dedication cere monies?
Did President Roosevelt request
President Wheeler to ignore the
names?
If so, why should President Roose-
welt have objected to the mention of
the names and the natural demon
stratiOn of enthusiasm that would
have resulted?
California is said to be so indignant
over this remarkable situation tina /
President Wheeler may we'll feel it
necessary to have soft spot selected
for alighting purposes and there is
eminent prOpriety in the administra-
ton furnishing the spot.

NEW ICEHOUSE
Teamsters' Union Threatens to
Build One.
Tonight's Meeting Expected to Take
Action Other Unions Will Help
With Donations.

From Saturdays Daily.
The meeting of the teamsters' union
tonight promises to be very impor-
tant one. The question to be decided
is whether or not to construct an in
dependent ice house. The union re-
Gently fixed the scale of wages for
hauling ice at IS per day, and the ice
dealers, they say, have since then
been arranging with farmers to haul
ice, offering them IS day. The
wages last year were rs, and before
that we're SO. 30
The teamsters have always opposed
the hauling of ice by farmers, and it
WAS to protect them that the council
last summer passed che teamsters'
license ordinance, fixing license of
SO per wagon This was expected TO
keep the farmers out this winter.
The teamsters say that the farmers
raise their own feed and hay and can
afford to come in and haul ice cheaper
than can the teamsters, who have to
buy feed and hay at high prices. The
teamsters claim that So day is not
too much, as the horses have to be
shod every few days, and the heavy
loads are hard on the vehicles. They
have to begin work at a. m. and
continue until after dark to haul the
number of loads that constitutes q,
davs work.
The teamsters, since they have
heard that the ice dealers intend to
employ outside men to do their haul-
ing this winter. have been agitating
the subject of building a union ice
house, to be large and finer than any
in thu city. They propose to elect a
manager and to go into the ice bust
ness.
Other unions are expected to furnish
the money that is needed. as is some
times done The carpenters union has
offered to donate one days work of
each member. The painters met last
night and offered their services to
paint the building without charge for
their labor.
If constructed in time for this
years ice harvest, which will begin
in two or three weeks the building
will have to be erected Immediately.
The whole matter will be decided to-
night
