Seemed a long Time.

Jim was ten years of age and OF an
adventurous spirit. Instead OF going
to school, he started out to join a
band of buccaneers, leaving a letter
of farewell for his mother He a
gone pretty far aield when he was
caught in the rain. Growing miserable
and hungry, the young adventurer
then gave up his idea OF a ptrat1cai
career and came home very late at
night. He met with a chilling recep-
ton. The clock licked. his fathers
newspaper cracked, and his sisted did
not look up from her book. Even
his mother did not seem 10 care
whether he had returned or not. The
cat, however, not being in the con-
spiGacy of silence, came and rubbed
against his leg. Jim stopped and pet
ted it. and then in a desperate attempt
TO open up the conversation he re

Diplomacy.

Diplomacy is a matter Of business
though a polite business, hedged about
by etiquette and forms and adorned
with a few frills. Get behind the ling
erie and the lingo and go to the heart
Of the thing and you will find it very
much like the practice of law. The
man with the best case ought to win,
and when he doesn't and the man
with the poorer case does win it is be-
u he is the better man and knows
better how to present his case and
how to handle it. There is another
popular notion that the American dip
lomatic establishment is weak be-
cause our representatives abroad con-
tend with men trained all their lives
in the diplomatic school. We have
no permanent diplomatic establish
ment. Our ambassadors and ministers
abroad r picked from law offices,
editorial rooms and even counting
rooms. Usually they had no previous
acquaintance with diplomatic work.
Yet nine times out of ten they are
more than a match for the men they
have to deal with abroad. Breadth and
strength of character, knowledge of
human nature and experience gained
in the rough and tumble of life count
for quite as much as the other fell
lows dilettante culture. 1t is the
judgment of the best observers
throughout the world as the other fell
full American lawyers and editors
easily hold their own against their
competitorS-Walter Wellman, in

Road Building a Science.

Everyone should be an advocate
of good roads. The farmer who has
his produce to market could haul
larger loads and would also be able
to do much of his teaming and run
ming to town when the ground is too
wet for general farming thus never
losing a good day in the field. With
good roads, riding for pleasure
would be a delight rather than a
source of discomfort.
There is a feeling among some
that good roads are for the owners
of automobiles and other land
crafts" but this is q grave mistake
as ninety per cent. of the travel on
our public highways is in line of bus
mess. Then, too, the success of the
rural mail delivery depends largely
upon the condition Of the roads and
routes are laid out along the best
highways, With the same idea that
prevails in cities where the mail car
riers do not have to deliver mail on
streets having no sidewalks. Then,
too, land values are increased by i'm
proving the highways for who wishes
to live in a community where there
is not enterprise enough to secure
good roads? So long as the tax is
worked Cd out by the taxpayer so
long will our roads be poor. Road
building is I science.-National Fruit

Mrs. Partinaton In Court.

asking a good many impertinent
questions-just like some old folks
and people were sitting around max
ing minutes of the conversation. I
don't see how they made out what
was said, for they all told different
stories. How much easier it would
be to get along if they were all made
to tell the same story! The case, as
they call it, was given to the jury, but

with a long pole was made to swear
that he'd keep an eye on 'em, and see

A WITH BEEF.

Beans to be boiled with beef should
be put into a kettle or cola water
with a quarter teaspoonful OF Dahlns
soda. They should be brought TO a
good boiling temperature and be kept
boiling briskly all the while they are
cooking. Boil, or rather, parbo1l them
until the skin cracks and rolls PACK
when the breath is blown over a lew
held in a teaspoon. Be sure to nave
a teakettle full of boiling water TO
fill up with as the water bolls away.
The meat, beef or pork, should De
put into a separate kettle and COOK
Just enough so that it will have plenty
of time to finish cooking" and Secom
tender after being pIt-with the beans
after they have been drained. Gaze
must be taken that the beans do not
cock too long in the first water 1or
if they do they will cook to pieces be-
fore the meat is quite done. Beans
cooked this way for a change are
quite agreeable-the pork being too
rich to have as often as desirable
even in winter. Remember though, al
ter beans start TO cook they should
be brought to a good boil as speedily
as possible and keep them boiling
Right here lies the secret or ooklng

 However, there IS opposition to the investment iu Portland. Some of the business men do not think it would De a profitable investment. But the com mittee expects to win out anyhow.
 The chairman of the committee made the following announcement last Friday st Portland:
 "IJ should be stated that large ma .Ority Of the general committee desire and propose 10 press the pending plan tO d successful issue even iu the face Of the unexpected attitude of a very small number of individuals and members of firms The conviction of these mem. bers ot the committee is that the posi- L!Ou Of the few disSenCerS should not be allowed because of their wealth and sOcial or commercial prominence to override the wishes of the large ma Ority and to defeat sn honest and effec- tive plan for establishing this steam ship line which IS TOW so close 10 the point Of success.

LOW RATES
Pacific Coast Steamship Con- pany After Juneau Freight

The Juneau Dispatch says there is a rate war between the transportation companies which are competing for Juneau business, and that the Pacific Coast Steamship Company has cut rates 50 per cent. The agents of the steam ship lines deny knowledge Of a war. l. is admitted that there has beeh a cut of 20 per cent at Juneau and aU Skag- way, also. E. A. Murphy, agent for the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, says there has heen no such cut in the rates of his company to Juneau as indi- cated.
 The Dispatches story follows:
 "l9O6 freight rates have been cut in tWo,' This assertion is freely made in Juneau. It IS known that the Pacific Coast Steamship agent have been at work in Juneau for the past two weeks offering great inducements to shippers. Among the large companies said to have been signed are the c. w. Young Co.,, B. M. Behrends Co.,, C.. Goldstein, Bower X Kennedy, Shattuck & Co. and host of smaller shippers. None of the shippers mentioned will make any statement regarding this years rate but it is hinted freely that re. Guctiou of fifty psr cent landed con tracts. So far there appears to be little effort on the part of the Alaska Steam ship Co.,, agents to meet the cut. lt IS now claimed they are preparing to insert the Prune knife and bring rates tumbling down.
