Exploitation of the West.


Five years ago we who lived In the
far west were wondering when the
marvellous resources of our one-thlrd
of the United States would be discov-
cred and exploited. To-day, says a
writer in The Reader, we awaken TO
find our forests stripped, the places
where we pitched our tents, built our
.smudges and fried our bacon and game
made desolate by the steam saw and
the freight car. The rivers where we
speared our salmon and the rushing
waters of the northwest where we cast
our seine have been made to fill the
labeled tins of highly capitalized syn
d'cates, until the preservation of the
'-sock-eye," the most delicious OF all
salmon, has become the subject of in
terstate conference. The immense
plains, whose phenomenal productive
ity made legends of our "Mussel
Sloughs'' and our "Yuba Dams" are
being turned into irrigated plaisances,
into trolley-strewn highways, into the
dense social conditions of Ohio. Iowa
and Illinois.

Mental Poige and Health.

People who reach extreme old age
are, as rule, pretty well balanced,
physically and mentally. A poised life
is serene, and serenity and harmony
tend to longevity. The mind that is
not well balanced is constantly jan
gled and out of tune, truly says o. s.
Marden in Success Magazine. There is
a constant Earring which racks the
whole human machinery. There is
discord in an unbalanced life, and dis
cord is always destructive-deadl
The well-poised, dignified life is not
thrown off it's center quickly. The
man who goes all to pieces over trifies
is one-sided. There is momentum
in poised, balanced nature which
steadies it's progress and helps hold 1t
on it's chosen track. Hot temper, con-
slant mental confusion and disorder
are vitality-sappers.- Observation-Disclosures.

1t seems especially incredible that a
strong, sturdy, self-made man, who
has had to fight his way up from pow
erty, and who feels the backacho in
every dollar he has earned, should let
his savings slip through his fingers in
the most foolish investments, with
scarcely any investigation, often send
ing his money thousands of miles away
to people he has never seen and about
whom he knows practically nothing,
except through an advertisement which
has attracked his attention, or through
the wiles of some smooth, unprinci-
pied promoter-Success.

tary to a Professional
Player.

Walter ]. Travis, the golfer, set up
his ball, and then made half a dozen
swishes at the short grass with the
driver, relates the New York Tribune.
II am not in good FORM he said, Il
am playing like a broker we had here
last week.
This broker played once around,
making a dreadful exhibition of him
self. OF this, though, he was not
aware. He was doing pretty well for
him.
THE mans caddy was an unusually
quiet, stolid lad, Coy with freckled
face quite devoid of expires sion.
And since the caddy never once
laughed or sneered at his bad play,
the broker took a fancy to him. And
he said at the end of the round, in
the hope of getting a compliment:
q have been travelling for. the last
six months. 1 am quite out of prac-
tice. That is why l am in such bad
fern to-day
THE caddy' replied, calmly:

A London scientist says that life in
a metropolis makes young children
sharp but not clever; that it often de-
stroys their chance of ever being
clever, for it hastens the development
of the brain unnaturally; it makes
them superficial, alert, but not OBJ
servant; excitable, but without one
spark of enthusiasm; they are apt to
grow blase, tickle, disconnected; they
see more things from the country bred
child, but not such interesting things;
they do not properly see anything, for
they have neither the time nor ca
pacity to get at the root of all the be-
wildering objects that crowd them
selves into their little lives. There is
more than grain of truth in this as
sertion.

many dining-rooms that are larger
than this are so cut into with projec-
tions tt, it is almost impossible to
accom- late anyone extra without
considerable inconvenience. These
are the little things that go to make
up a good house plan. A great many
houses are very disappointing when
been carefully worked out in the plan.
Things that look we'll on paper often
are dismal failures when the test of
practical use is applied.
Although the house is quite large
and roomy, it is not necessarily ex-
pensive. Under favorable circum-
stances, where the cost of material is
not excessive, and where carpenter
work can be had at reasonable prices,
the house should be built with ordi-
nary inside finish for from $1,000 to
81 500, but of course a man can put
$500 or 5000 on top of this in expen-
sive inside finish, if he has the money
to spare, with perfect impunity- A
CRATE and mantel, for instance, may
cost $50 or they may cost 5000 or $500.
The fire in a $50 CRATE will burn as
brightly as it will in the other Often
the extra expense is suggestive OF
ostentation, but some men possess
the art of lavish expenditure without
this accompanying curse. There is a
great deal in the way in which a thing
is done.

circle is sure to form, with each
member facing the fire, and each is
ready to talk and help e-Nertain each
other. This is in noticeable contrast
to scattered furniture placed in out
of-the-way corners, with the girls in
some and the boys in the others, as
far away from each other as the dis
lance will admit of.

long there is room for long extern

Speaker Cannon and about half the
members of the house went down the
Potomac river to a planked shad par
ty. They organized a ball game and
put Uncle Joe in as umpire. He was
spry as a cat and made some mar
velous decisions. His star performance
was when Gen. George Harries. having
made a home run, started round the
bases a second time. You're outi'i

There is something about a square
house that suggests room and COM
fort; a satisfying sense of freedom,
light, warmth and fresh air that is
not conveyed to the same extent by
any other manner of building. This
is an old-fashioned house outside, very
much like the plans of the best houses
built 100 years ago, but the interior
is different indeed. With width of
"a feet and length of 35 feet 6
inches, exclusive of the porch, the nee
essary space is provided for eight
good comfortable rooms with several
accessories by way of liberal hall
ways, closets, bathroom and other
conveniences.
1t is a square house with square
rooms punched together for comfort
and utility. The rooms in such a
house seem to nestle alongside of each
other in a sort of sociable, friendly
familiarity that 1 like, and 1 think a
great many others like it, in fact 1
