that he was to be beaten. We went
back to his home, and he was jeered
upon the train and at the depot when
we arrived. We went into his study,
which was Uttered with those famous
caricatures of Mast, representing him
as the embodiment of all that was
evil or vile in expression or practice

over for moment, and then said:

Was Interviewed by Tacoma Paper.

M. Schorn, one of the leading mer-
chants of North Yakima, is in the city
and stopping at the Donnelly. He was
a resident of Tacoma twenty years ago
and notices the wonderful changes made
in the city during the last decade. The
opportunities for business engagements
he thinks, are great, and those who pass
this city for supposed better field, will
be disappointed.
Tacoma is good city for business -
said Mr.. Schorn to an Evening News
reporter. Il am of the opinion that
there are fine openings here for many
special industries. My first days in Ia.
coma were spent at my trade, working
in the Northern Pacific shops. There
was no money then in working for
others, and l have never seen the time
when wages paid me anything. The
best and safest plan is for every man
who can manage his affairs to work for
himself.
yakima is a good place for business
but there is nothing wrong with Tacoma.
Mrs. Schorn thinks this city is all right
and would be pleased to return here to
live. Twenty years ago there were
hardly any buildings on Pacific avenue.
Now | understand the old buildings are
to be torn down and greater ones
erected. The city looks good in many
ways and will grow to greater COM
mercial metropolis"

The Sunshine Of Kind ness.

Only some jostling school boys coming
along splashing in the wet snow and
pushing each other into the slush and
slippery places; and yet, when they
met me, these boys-housed in school
all day, and full of the "romp of life"-
stepped aside, lifted their hats, gave
way with splendid gallantry. 1t cost
nothing and they gained much by almost
unconsciously extending kindness. A
jostling, riotous schoolboy may be a
gentleman, and when he does a gentle
manly act without appearing con-
splcuous, without thinking much about
it, we know he has cultivated the gentle,
the kind, the lovable, and we know it
is true; it is felt; it is from the heart

Laughter is the sound we hear when

Laundrymen are the most humble

To drain ranch-mortgage it.
A great many men in Yakima must
have trouble-stomach trouble-for they
are always trying to drown it.
What we need in this country is an
elastic currency; something that will

That he will stand with smiles ever
bright,
And listen to the anecdotes which bore
And never say, "I've heard that story
before"
A Yakima woman says it is a most
ridiculous thing to call that man in the
bank ''teller." She says he won't tell
at all. She asked him the other day
how much money her husband mad on
deposit there, and he just laughed.
When you want to use the step-ladder
and find out Little Johnnie had it last,
