QUESTION.

Dear heart, II We could walk away
Adown the wales of yesterday,
Could climb again like laughing Hope
Each green-clad knoll. each verdant slope,
Coulh nit and see the rivers SHINE
Through beech and fir and spruce and pine,
Would we achieve all that we knew
OF peace and love betWixt US two?
If we could see the clover bloom
And catch the far-blown sweet perfume
OF the wild flowers Of the wood,
Know everything that seemed SO good
In those bright days to you and me.
The shadow of the buckeye tree,
And everything, would your soul then
Speak through your eyes to mine again3
II We could stand beneath the moon
In purple shade by the lagoon
And see the poplars slim and high
In silhouette against the sky
And see afar the city's light
In thousand stars against the night
Where the moonpath just shuns the SHORE.
Would We be as We were once more?
Would we-would we between US two?
Would that rare bond that once we knew
Hold our two souls as once it did
When my warm kisses were unchid?
I know the knobs and slopes are there,
The whole vast scene. The skies are fair
AS they were then, my heart beats true!
Do you still treasure all we knew?

Increased Traffic.

Increased cotton shipments to
Japan indicate revival of trade con-
ditions in the Orient. Japan mixes
American cotton with the product
from India in manufacturing yarns
for Japanese and Manchurian mar
kets.
Through control of the Burlington,
President Hill is carrying immense
quantities of cotton across the terri
tory traversed by the Hartman lines
and is bringing it to Puget sound
over the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern.
Heavy cotton shipments during
February made the Puget sound dis
trict the fifth in cotton shipments.
Similar shipments are continuing
through March and April. In the
Tacoma yards are 400 cars of cotton,
500 carloads more are en- route over
the Northern Pacific, and that roads
Oriental warehouses are piled high
with thousands of bales. Recent
heavy shipments via Puget sound
show that the Hill roads are carry
ign more cotton west than the Harri'

ODD BITS FROM ABROAD.

A woman in Sydney, Australia,

TRANS.PAclF,c TRAVEL.
The Great Northern Steamship Com.
pauy Ihaugurates New Era in
Pacific Transportation.

The Great Northern Steamship
Company in placing in service be-
tween Seattle, Wash, and Yokohama,
Nagasaki, Kobe, Shanghai, and Hong
Kong, the magnificent American
built steamships the. minnesota and
the ''Dakota," marks new era in
transportation facilities between the
United States and the Orient. Tho
magnificent steamships with their SUI
perior facilities in handling immense
freight cargoes and the luxurious
appointments for passenger travel
has given an impetus to our Oriental
trade. The North Pacific route to
the Orient is rapidly becoming the
popular one, and now that the two
palatial steamships, the minnesota
and ''Dakota'' have been put in COM
mission, there is no question but that
a further greater increase in our
trade with the Orient as well as in
creased passenger travel to Asiatic
ports will be inaugurated. The first
sailing of the minnesota" in addi-
ton to carrying the largest cargo to
the Orient ever carried by any ship
In the world, as we'll as an extensive
passenger list, augurs we'll for the
future.
The minnesota" will sail on it's
next voyage to the Orient on Satur-
day, April goth, and it will not be
amiss to say that the excellence of
her passenger accommodations will
be heralded to the travelling public
of the United States by all who en-
joyed the pleasant voyage across the
Pacific on her first trip, as furnish
ing the acme of travel comfort. The
fact that the superior accommoda-
tons of the Great Northern Steam
ship Company in connection with the
comfortable journey afforded by the
Great Northern Railway to Seattle,
the sailing point of the 'Minnesota"
will make this route the popular ono
from Occident to Orient.

the sale of 2O,000,o00 feet of pine and

A Rice
Pudding

TN the first place, they were both elder
ly, sober-minded, dignitied people,
SO there was no possible reason why
anyone should be inspired to play ridic-
ulous tricks on them when they finally
decided-after 20 years of waiting-to
get married and go east on a long we'd
ding trip.
Thomas Carr was So, a deacon in the
First church at home, and a business
man of standing and reputation, whose
frosty side-whiskers were more likely
to inspire. respect and awe than levity
Sarah Anderson, his bride, owned to
more than 40 summers and possessed q
quiet and serene disposition-which
latter fact proved, after all, q great
blessing.
Then they took care to see that no
one was invited to the wedding who
might have been moved to do anything
foolish in the way of throwing old shoes
or rice after the bridal party And
Thomas Carr, with craft and guile
which hurt his conscience, concealed
the route they were to take and the hotel
they were to stop at in Chicago-at least
he though he did.
No, indeed! There should be no fool
1shness about. their wedding trip. They
were too old to be stared and laughed
at On the train to Chicago they sat in
the same seat, but Sarah looked out the
window. while her newly made husband
read the morning paper, with hardly a
glance in her direction. AS a matter
of fact, he played the part of an unin-
terested escort too we'll to suit the bride,
who, after ALL was a woman.
On arriving in the city, they,took the
common bus and were driven over to
the Sherman house, where Thomas
wrote. "Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Carr, Earl
vile, Ill.," on the register, without be-
traying In any way that he was doing
anything unusual
About two dollars, please" he said,
