SECRETARY ROOTS HOME.
Attractive Mansion I'm the Qafst,
Cultured Village of Clinton.

The visitor to Clinton, n. Y, who
climbs the hill which leads to the far
famed Hamilton College, passes many
delightful homes. There are no great
mansions, no pretentious edifices
which bespeak large wealth, but the
residences are attractive in their arch
ltecture, some OF them are spacious
and all have the outward appearance
Of unusual comfort and culture with
In. Half hidden among trees and sur
rounded by closely trimmed lawns,
they suggest themselves as retreats OF
poets and lovers OF nature. Any one
Of a dozen OF them would excite envy
in one accustomed to good things.
These are the homes, for the most
part, Of tutors In the college further
up the hill.
1t is amid such environment that
the home of Elihu Root, Secretary OF
State, is to be found. Hlther be comes
when the strain OF great burdens de-
mands a bit of relief and here, amid
the scenes Of his boyhood. he ia reju-

CHAPTER XVII

When Mary came in about one o'clock
to clear the table and lay the cloth for
dinner she found her uncle in very
surprising condition. He was In tears.
Daniels papers lay untouched upon the
table. and he had turned his head unto
his pillows, as Ahab turned his unto the
wall
"why, uucle,' cried Mary, whatever

venated. Within n stones throw Of
this place he was born. 1t Is an at
mosphere Of beauty, but 1t Is also an
atmosphere Of work, and 1t is from
this that he drew that 10y OF the
working" which keeps him so steadily
employed and which causes him to be
regarded as a marvel among public
men. The surroundings of youth
were calculated to make him a lover
Of nature, but his bent was for mathe-
matlcs and devotion to the exact sci
ences. though heredlty should have re-
lleved this by an affection for out
doors. The splendor Of the Oneida
hills and the Oriskany valley was not
wholly lost upon him, however, even
amid the busy scenes OF a metropolis
throbbing with varied activities and
the charm OF a capital where intellect
is supreme. and thus II was that in the
years Of his greatest achievements he
returned to Clinton and purchased an
estate which adjoins the old home
stead. Here he has a fine farm and
here. with his family, he spends as
much time as he can spare from his
official and professional duties.

Lost Railroad Tickets and Quarreled
Over Them to Fool Passengers.
Il have Travelled as Pullman con-

CLEANING FISH BY MACHINE.
Labor Saving Devices In Use in q
Great Northwest Cannery.


Great Northwest Cannery.
Hidden away among the ware
houses and sheds on Railroad avenue
south Of Moran's shipyards is the only
cannery In seattle
In speaking Of the work Of the can.
merry, Superintendent E. b. Dutton
said:
This cannery was installed here
more as an experiment tan as a pure
ly business proposition, but every one
connected with It had full faith in its
ultimate success. The short time that
it has been running has demonstrated
that 1t Is one Of the safest and best
investments that could have been
made; In fact, it has exceeded the
hopes of the most sanguine. Since the
opening Of the season we have been
canning on an average Of 10000 fish
daily, not counting a large number Of
halibut that were packed fresh.
THE run this year. although not as
large as that Of 1901 OF the run Of
four years before that date, is very
good. Last week we had more salmon
than we could handle We are conf
dent that our seasons pack will reach
GOOO0 cases. We employ about 100
people, but during the heavy run we
have almost double that number.
Most Of our cannery hands are Chi
nese and Japanese. The Chinese make
the best men for the delicate testing OF
the cans after they have been soldered
and boiled. All our overseers are
white men, and. Of course, are old
fishermen.
Our new nsh-cleaning machine In
the latest addition to the plant This
machine is one OF the most marvellous
Inventions ! ever saw. 1t scales and
cleans the fish and also cuts of the
heads and fms and washes the body
ready for the cans. From that machine
they slide down chute, where they
are caught by another cleverly ar
ranged mechanism that cuts them into
pieces that just At the cans Another
machine puts the pieces IN the cans,
and by means OF an endless chain they
are passed along to where the cans are
automnticlly covered and soldered.
From the time the fish is put In the
cleaning machine It Is never touch ed
by the hand Of any man. The use OF
machines insures perfect cleanliness. j"

For people who are weak and run
down there is no medicine SO valuable as
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
1t cures diseases of the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition.
Many diseases in organs remote from the
stomach have their origin in diseased
condition of the stomach and its allied
organs. When the stomach is weak"
there is failure to properly digest and
assinlilate the food which is eaten.
Hence the whole body, and each organ
of it, suffers from lack of nutrition, so
that as a consequence OF "weak" storn-
ach, there may be weak lungs, "weak"
heart, weak" or torpid liver, rweak 1"
nerves, etc. By curing diseases of the
stomach and other organs OF digestion
and nutrition, uGolden Medical Discov-
cry" enables the assimilation of the
nutriment necessary for the requirements
of healthy body. 1t increases the &C
tivity of the blood-making glands, and
SO increases the supply of blood which
is the vital fluid of the body.
There Is no alcohol in the Discovery"
and it is entirely free from opium, CO.
caine, and all other narcotics.
Sick and ailing people especially those
suffering from disease i'll its chronic form
are invited to consult DIR. Pierce by letter
free. All correspondence Is held as
strictly private and sacrediy confidential.

There is no similar offer of free med

is considered the duty Of every citizen

goes and tells his wife, who will send
her servants with water for the stran-
