CHAPTER y.
Bitter Prospects.

The storm had continued throughout
the day and arose at night with renew
ed fury. 1t was a common thing to
have weeks of storms at this season of
the year and the sun rarely ever showed
itself. But every storm was the
"worst" and the oldest ind;v dual
would verify the fact.
1t only goes to show how quickly
people forget even the unpleasant
things OF life. A month of rain and
sleet and snow last year, which at the
time was declared unbearable, is for
gotten in the spring sunshine and when
another winter storm comes, although
mild compared with former ones, it is
a recoTd-breaker while it lasts and the
complaint is long and loud
But such is the way of weak, frivolous
humanity. 1t was sunshine yesterday
Is storming today and tomorrow will
be whatever the temperament suggests
1t amounts to nothing anyway; forever
complaining forgiving, expecting, be-
ing disappointed and disappointing 9TH
ers yesterdays TREND is today's enc
my; in the deepest poverty and dis
tress yesterday, rich and happy today
After all the mind is the weather vane
in life's short span of time and the
tongue the thermometer. Whatever the
mind conceives is 80, and the tongue
indicates the state of the mind. Life
is storm OF sunshine just as the mind
makes it, and the wagging tongue re-
cords the impression.
But whether in reality it was the
mildest or most severe storm in the
history of the fishing village on the
north banks of the Columbia, in the
mind of one it was the darkest hour oil
her life. The wind blew louder, the
rainfall on the roof was more rsspine
and the night had closed in with great.

PINE sTUMPS YIELD OILS.
Plants Set UP In Lake Superior Re-
rion by weyerhaeuser Syndicate.

u,ion by Weyerhaeuser Syndicate.
A new proof of the fact that what
is wasted one time becomes a yalu-
able material under other circum-
stances, is given in the success Of pine
tar plants that have been started up
near the head of Lake Superior. That
the industry is no experiment and or
no doubtful value is shown by the
fact that the Weyerhaeuser syndicate,
the largest numbering concern In the
world. has taken it up, has just bought
out the plants already established and
is installing more.
All the region about the head OF
Lake Superior is, or was, covered with
nine timber, and when this was cut
the stumps remained on the ground.
pine stumps do not rot as do those OF
hardwoods and the presence OF these
stumps was a serious obstacle to the
spread of farming In the region.
Now comes the pine tar company
and offers to clear a farm OF all its
old stumps or to pay the owner So
for every cord OF them thrt he will
pull himself. For farmers, through
out thousands OF acres, this is an est,-
mable boon and 1t will open hundreds

to put on the table If they are not per-
fectly fresh. In those families which
are lucky enough to possess an Ice
chest or refrigerator 1t is generally
placed in the cellar, where 1t is always
cooler and where the ice melts less
rapidly, or sometimes 1t is put out In
the yard. Every time an article Is
wanted. even If it is only a glass of
ice water, 1t means a trudge up and
down stairs, which is very firing 10
the housewife. A very compact and
convenient substitute for the refrig-
orator is shown in the illustration 1t
will be observed at glance how use
full 1t would be and also the time that
would be saved. The inside compart-
ments can be arranged to suit the in
dividual taste, and the box placed
where it would be most easy to reach.
The idea of the inventor is to fasten
the chest, as it might be called, on
swinging brackets just outside of the
kitchen window, where 1t would be
handy to reach. After the article want
ed has been removed from the chest,
it can be pushed back against the wall
out Of the way.
Another very great advantage is that
it could be used in winter as well as
summer, as in winter the cold air
would be sufficient to keep fresh all
perishable articles. The inventor is III.
G. McClung, of New York City.

Tester for Eggs.

We are all more or less familiar with
the cold storage house and its uses. but
few of us fully understand the inside
workings nor the part it has come to
play in everyday life. One of the pri-
mary objects of the cold storage house
is storing of eggs In the spring when
eggs are cheaper than at any other
time of the year, the managers of these
establishments purchase immense
quantities and put them away in cold

for a man to wash his hair, as he can
dry it again in very few minutes, but
with the woman it is entirely the oppo-
site. If she could do it as quickly as
a man, there is not the slightest doubt
but she would delight In performing the
operation as often as he does, as all
women take pride in their hair and like
to have it look as neat and clean as

But the transaction is beginning to
cost me something. Bumbo, the law

is true, but it all counts in the end

"How about the gillnetters, hus-

"Well, fish are getting scarce on their

SCHEME MEATFANINE
President Donnelly's Favorite
Weapon a Big Boycott.
FREIGHT HANDLERS ARE CALLED IN
1t IL Stated That No More Beef Will
Be Handled on I. nilroads After
TOday-Strilxc Leaders VIII
Fight to a Finish.

CHICAGO, Sept. IA meat famine
will be forced at all costs. 1t is the
best weapon with which to fight the
trust packers, although it may not be
welcomed by the independents" ,
IN these words President Donnelly
of the Butchers national organization
has declared u boycott against all meat
and announced that union men will
quit in all packing establishments re-
CARELESS of where live stock is secured.
D0nnelly's announcement was made
at the conclusion of a meeting of the
Allied Trades conference board.
Following his appeal to the people
to abstain from eating meat while the
strike lasts President Donnelly has
taken steps to call out every butcher
in the country who Is under the juris-
diction of the Amalgamated Meat Cut
ters and Butchers workmen.
The executive board of the Retail
Meat Dealers association of Chicago
had Just been in conference with Mr.,
Donnelly and his associates, having
come to ask certain concessions for the
independent packers and to seek au7
thority TO attempt to bring about a
meeting between the packers and rep
'resentatiyes of the strikers.
With the beginning of n general
strike against all the packing COM
panies the freight handlers employed
by railroads throughout the country
will be called upon to ease handling
meat. President Donnelly has stated
that the freight handlers will handle
no meat after today. This was based
OH action taken by the Freight Han
dlers' union three weeks ago when that
organization voted to support the stock
yards strikers to the extent of boy
cotting meat shipped by the strike af-
fected packers.
BY ignoring the latest attempts at
peace and by adopting such arNaggres-
siyc step the strike leaders have demon
strated their intention to make 1t a
