for foreign customers-is clearly an
abettor of robbery. Labor gets no
benifit from such a law. for wages
are regulated on a basis of foreign
competition. The only purpose served
by the law is to enable the trusts to
hold up the American people and CON-
pei them to pay higher prices than for
eigners are asked to pay for the same
kinds of goods.
That is a phase of the tariff ques-
ton which Secretary Shaw did not
discuss, and which the Republicans
are trying to keep from public atten-
ton as much as possible. But the
people are doing some quiet thinking
about it, and the more they learn Of
the way they are taxed to support the
trusts theless will be the Republicans
chances of victory in November.

INSTRUMENTATION
SHAW'S FRANK ADMISSION.

The best proof that the Republicans
are not so confident of victory as they
pretend to be is found in the fact that
they have begun the campaign early
and are sending their best speakers
into States which they claim as safely
Republican Several members of the
Cabinet have laid aside the arduous
duties of their positions and are going
about the country trying to persuade
the voters that the salvation of the
land depends upon keeping their chief
in Office.
Leslie NJ. Shaw. the amiable Secre
tary of the Treasury, spoke in San
Francisco Saturday night. From the
newspaper reports of the meeting it
was a success, for the Secretary is
known to be an effective, though no1

Mr. Shaw devoted the main part Of

The Lumber Jacks Life

If there is any place in the world
that will force a man to forget that
he is troubled with Indigestion
and cause him to eat three good
meals day, it is in lumber
camp in Northern Minnesota. Two
hours work in the woods amid the
fragrance of the pine boughs will
make a man eat more in one meal
than an ordinary dyspeptic can
eat in three. He will want his
three square meals a day, and a
lunch between meals as often as
fortune gives him the opportunity.
If many Of our city young men
who are run down physically, and
are spending a large part OF their
meager incomes in doctor bills,
would only throw away their fine

yard where the carpet beating
would take place on the morrow
Then we mopped the floor and
moved the furniture back the
parlor.
'Those cobwebs look very fine
up there" said Mrs. H., pointing
to the ceiling.
'They will have to come down. .
said L. Down came the cobwebs.
Then Mrs. 81. said we should take
the pictures off the. walls. We
then discovered how soiled the
wall paper looked, for back of the
pictures it was three shades
brighter.
"I'll clean the wall paper said L
"Can your" asked Mrs. 81.
"Can II" I replied scornfully:
"just get me some bread crumbs
and milk while I get the steplad-
der, and I'll show you how to save
re-papering the parlor.'
Mrs. FL. sighed.
When [ had the stepladder in
position and had mounted to the
top step, I began to show
my contempt for the perilous
position 1 occupied by bal
ancing on one foot while [ reached
to the further end of the window
sash. "Just little further" said
I, inwardly, "and / can reach the
corner" Mrs. FL. stood with
clasped hands and warned me to
be careful.
"Oh, I'm all right" said [, as [
lost my balance and went through
the parlor window, taking part of
the sash with me. Luckily l
landed on my head and escaped
with a fractured skull. Kind
neighbors bore me into the house,
while Aunt Martha hurried for
the doctor.
Four days later I sat up in bed,
and the first question l asked was:
"Did you get the carpet back into
the parlor?"
NO." said Mrs. H., Il gave it to
Aunt Martha, for it rained all that
night and 1t was widowed SO bad
ly it nearly fell apart when we took
it out of the yard"
"Wait till l get we'll, said 1,
"and we will start on the dining
room"
ats all done," said Mrs. H.;
"Aunt Martha cleaned up every
room in the house by herself"
"Look yere, boss,' said Aunt
Martha, coming to the bedside;
"don't 20 60 worryin' about no
orders. Aunt Martha don't need
no orders when she sees two fool
ish chillens like 20 tryin' to play
house. I cleaned house for Ole
Miss long fore 20 wuz horned an

like fallin' outen winders. 70 lay
back on dem pliers an tank de
good Lawd 20 didn't bust 20
brains out! 70 year me talkin'
don't yo?"
"Aunt Martha's right said Mrs.
II.
"She generally is" said 1.
When spring came, Mrs. 81.
said one evening: 81 am going to
clean house next week."
"Wish you luck" said I, feeling
for the bump on the back of my
head.

linens and fine clothes, and don
the. coarse woolens, warm caps, and
clothing of the lumber jack, and
would get ont in the fresh air and
pull a saw, swing an Ak, drive q
team, or do some of the many jobs
around q numbering camp, they
would come out in the spring with
renewed health and a greater re-
spect for many of the noble and
manly hearts that beat under the
rough jackets of lumber jacks.
| Many persons, especially those
living in cities, look upon the
lumber jack only as necessity:
to put the lumber on the market,
and to keep money in circulation.
They associate him with the grog
shop, and because a few lumber
jacks are weak and are enticed
into saloons, where their brains
are deadened with rot-gut whis-
key, and where they are robbed of
their hard earned wages in less
time than it takes the average
man to tell you his grievances,
the town critics ignore the fact
that many lumber jacks are as
honest, as manly, and in many
instances as brainy as their we'll
dressed brothers of the city.
It is great mistake to judge
the many by the few. This is true
in every line of life. It is unjust
to men as men to Judge them by
the black sheep of the flock.
The lumber jack as a rule is a
large hearted parsonage. He makes
his money hard; but you will
seldom meet lumber jack who
will not donate literally to a good
cause, or who. when his brother
worker is sick or has met with an
accident, will not stand by him
like man and see him on his
feet again. The great trouble with
him is that he is generally too
good hearted for his own welfare,
and for that reason he is kept
down to hard work. The regularity
of his camp life, the fact that he
breathes natures purest air "a
hours day, make him feel all the
man-life in him. His open-h hearted
ness is only the natural result of
life with nature.
Let us take a glance into the
camp and look upon it's life. Those
who have not visited a camp, or
who have not spent winter in
one, can not form a true concep-
ton of it.
In the first place, we note the
lumberman and his men starting
for their location in the pines.
Often they are obliged to cut
trail into the timber, a trail wide
enough to admit the teams and
wagons. Finding suitable place
for the camp, the next thing to do
is to make a clearing large enough
for two or three barns, a sleeping
shanty, dining hall and kitchen,
blacksmith shop, and a store
room. The barns are built large
enough to stable ten or twelve
teams each. The dining room
will generally seat hundred men
comfortably. The sleeping shan
ties are generally thirty by ninety
feet with very large stove in the
center. The building is about
ten feet high at the caves and six
teen feet IN the center. On each
side, against the walls, are three
tiers of hunks. Each bunk accom-
modates two men. The hunks
remind one somewhat ofthe berths
on sleeper, the only great differ
ence is that hay or pine boughs
take the place of mattresses, and

CLEANING HOUSE


one evening. I didn't re-
ply, but took up the even
ing paper.
II say" said Mrs. b., "that next
week I am going to clean house.
Il heard you" said [.
my goodness! you needn't be
so offended over nothing. said
she.
I only ratified the paper harder
than ever and turned to the adver-
Using columns.
What do you see in that old
paper that you can't talk?" asked
Mrs. II.
Haven't found it yet l re-
piled. And then I added: "Ah,
here it is!' And I read aloud:
"sSuitable board and room for gen.
tlemen, all home conveniences,
address, etc. That's the place, y
/ commented.
"What do you mean?' asked
Mrs. Fl.
"Only this" said I, eff you are
going to clean house next week,
I'm going to board somewhere till
it's all over"
"Why," said Mrs. H., II had
hoped you would help me!' "Do
you want me to?" I asked.
"Deed [ do" said Mrs. H., all
smiles once more.
'sIn that case," said [, 'l'l stay
home and show you how to clean
house without any fuss.
won't that be fine!' said Mrs.
1--WE shall clean house system
atically," said [.
That's just grand" said Mrs.
II.
l began to feel as if she were
poking fun at me, but not being
sure continued: 1--WE shall start
in the parlor first, and then the
library, dining room, halls and
kitchen, and do it without every
thing getting topsy turvy.'
'How about upstairs?' she
asked.
"That we can do afterwards"
"But where shall we sweep the
dirt when the lower floor is
cleaned?'
"I'll attend to all that" said [.
Every WE'LL" said she.
When next week came [ mar
shalled my forces, consisting OF
Mrs. Fl. and a decrepit colored
woman, and when I had the CON-
pany's attention I began: 'Now,
we are going to clean this house
right; there's to be nosfoolishness;
no unnecessary dirt or noise; and
we shall start in the parlor, work
back to the yard, and then I'll
give you further orders. Forward
march, The company moved
obediently to the parlor and on
my orders the female contingent
began industriously to sweep the
carpet. I busted the chairs and
mantle.
Il think" said Mrs. H., "tha1
we had better sweep the walls anc
ceiling first"
1--WE can do that after we gel
the carpet swept" said [.
"Dis yere beats all de house

Martha.
''Never mind,' said /; "you g
get the tack puller so 1 can ge

Old Aunty went for the tacl
puller, while Mrs. H.. rested
awhile.
Don't you think" she asked
<'that we are only wasting TIM
