Local Mattress Factory

It is not generally known that Valdez has mattress factory, but such is the case, and that it is capable of doing good work and in large quantities is evidenced by the fact that 1t has just secured a contract from the Seattle hotel for furnishing all the mattresses used in that establishment.
 M. D. Gleason, who is the pro- prietor of the factory, has had years of experience in the busi- ness, having heen employed in some of the largest furniture fac tories on the coast, and has been in the business for himself for a long tire. He makes all varities of mattresses to suit the demands of the most particular and the local users cannot go wrong if they patronize his establishment.

right In the penguin code. The birds
have regular lighting places, and one
such battle-ground was found under
an overhanging ledge. The results OF
innumerable encounters were present
in the shape OF great quantities of
loose feathers surrounding the little
fighting ring, which itself was clear of
all debris. Although the beak Of pen
guin is so formidable n weapon when
used on thin skinned enemies, vet their

When at last each secures a good

WARSHlPS AT NIGHT.
From the First Call at Shutdown to

the Mournful Taps.
The routine OF life on n battleship
at night will interest boys who have a
nautical bent.
The first calr' Is sounded Eve min
utes before shutdown. when the ensign
and the Jack halyards Ere manned and
q stay light made ready for hoisting to
indicate the ships whereabouts during
the night. Then the color call follows
at shutdown as the fiag is lowered and
saluted 10y all as it reaches the deck.
The assembly is then sounded for
evening quarters and muster, but there
Is no drill.
As rule, it is just after sunset
when the bugle call is sounded to
stand by hammocks." That brings all
the crew on deck, and thes stand In
silence close out TO the ships side be-

ranks facing the stern, until the boat

number is on the hooks below decks
where the hammock has TO be swung.
so that each man sleeps in the same
place every night. and that place is
called his billet"
Unless n boat is called away there
will be no more bugle calls until FIVE
minutes Of Q o'clock. The period is one
OF complete relaxation and is spent by
the sailors in smoking. spinning yarns,
singing. playing on musical instruments
and dancing. At FIVE minutes OF 0 the
first call Is again sounded as a warn
Ing TO the crew TO prepare TO turn into
their hammocks and go to sleep. Then
at Q O'Clock comes the call known as

This tattoo is the survival OF an old
custom. In the 'old navy" it used to
last fifteen minutes and was performed
with drum and fife, playing all manner
OF airs and quicksteps according to the
fancy or ingenuity OF the drummer and

handed down from n period OF super

labaloo after dark to drive the devils
out OF the ship. at the last note OF
tattoo the ships bell is struck twice for

sounds "Pipe down" Every man must

he is sleepy or not. for an inspection is

TRIALS OF THE RICH.

Financial Prosperity and Its Worries

Once upon time young man and
girl loved each other fondly. He
was poor. but bright. energetic and

and amiable. They married. Their
friends thought they might have wait

but they laughed prudence to scorn.
Two years after the marriage the
wife met one of her friends.
How are you getting alongT' asked
the friend.
Very nicely" said the wife. beaming.
MY husband is so good. and have
such lovely baby. And. just think,
we have $1,000 in the bank. and we
don't owe n cent to anybodyr'
Five years later the friend met her
again.
she said. Some one told me your
husband had $4,000 invested in real

why. yes" said the wife, ''but it's
such a worry. There are repairs and
taxes and interest on mortga ges, and
one OF the tenants has just moved out
owing us q whole months rent Isn't

Five years more elapsed. and again
the friend met her.
''They tell me you're growing rich"
she said.

stock market. My husband has $50 900
in stocks. and he thinks they're going
