1T WOULD De SIMPLE.

from Hotel Was Easy.

In the days before the dawn OF his
lame it vas the practice OF a certain
well known author to wander up and
down the land seeking what he might
devour in the way of suggestion and
local color. In this way he had drift
ed down into Arkansas, "%rouShinS it"
and not. as he expresses it. presenting
an appearance calculated to inspire a
hotel proprietor with unlimited conf
dence.
The only hotel in the town, a frame
structure, seemed to have been built
upon the theory that there was plenty
Of room straight up, but that ground
bad to be bought, and the wanderer
was shown to a room on the third
fnor, reached through many narrow
and winding passages. From the one
window It was a straight drop to the

Say, how would I get out Of this
place in case of fire." he asked the
landlord, who had brought up his

FIRST TO CROSS PACIFIC.
Ste amer Aroused Much
Interest In Japan.

Il saw the first steamship flying the
American flag that eve crossed the
Pacific ocean enter the harbor or
Il%ongkong," said Frederick X. Ster-
ling, a merchant of Hongkong.
THAT vessel was the Colorado, and
1t landed in Hongkong in 1869. 1t was
the first day of January, and there was
a big crowd of people Of all nationali-
ties to see her. Being a side-whee.er
OF the old-fashioned type, she was a
curiosity. At the request Of Isaac J..
Allen, the American consul general,
the ship gave an excursion around the
island on which the city is situated. I
was among the 1900 on board. 1t
was a gala day. Whistles blew, people
shouted, and numerous small sailing
boats and tugs escorted us.
las ] remember now, the vessel be-
ionged to the Pacific Mail Line and
sailed from San Francisco. She made
the trip of 5000 miles in 80 days, and
when she arrived was in perfect trim
and good order. Everybody realized
that il means the beginning Of tho
great development Of the Pacific"

A Fish Story.

Trout protection! Nonsense" said
a gunner Of local eminence. Trout
are amply able to protect themselves.
Look at their deprcdations among
ducks, for example, and you will agree
with me that it's the birds that need
protection. It's a common thing for a
trout to jump from the water, seize q
duck by the neck, drag the unfortunate
fowl into the depths sufficiently to
leave its feet sticking In the air, where
it can get no purchase upon the uni
verse, and thus drown it. Then the
trout picks the feathers from the bird.
eats it at its leisure and swims away
out of the jurisdiction of the courts.
Are there any fishermen? None? Too
bad. This would be a match for one
of their fish stories"

DISHES LIKED IN ENGLAND.
Counties Have Their Own Favorite
Forms of FooS.

There is scarcely a county in Eng
land that has not a favorite common
dish among it's people.
In rural Essex one meets with a
combination of stewed rabbit and
raspberry jam.
Whenever apple pie makes its APP
pearance on a Yorkshire dinner table
cheese finds a place there, and the
two are eaten together.
Rabbit pudding is a dish only to be
encountered in Norfolk, which coun.
ty believes in stuffing a turkey with
chestnuts. Lancashire has a parsnip
pudding peculiarly its own, as we'll as
a kind of cake made of fat bacon and
oatmeal.
The little villages dotted about the
mud fats Of Essex are the only
places in England where clam SOUP
forms an article of diet.
A Cambridgeshire mar usually fries
and eats apples and sausages tOgeth-
er. He also is fond of making jam
of his surplus marrows; but in Ian,
cashire they would be picked.
The practice of eating sweets with
meat is to be found in D%evonshirc,
where the natives rarely think of
eating fried bacon without sugar of
some sort, either powdered, white or
brown.-Home Chat.

Upholstered Furniture.

Upholstered furniture which is left
unused for considerable periods in the
summer should be sprayed occasional
ly with benzine or naphtha. This will
not injure the most delicate fabric.
Caution must be exercised, however,
on account of its inflammability.
Never use either preparation with any
light in the room. Another means CT
protecting articles is to wipe them
over with a dilute solution of zorro.
sive sublimate in alcohol, made weak
enough so as not to leave any white
stain.
An sassy way to apply the naphtha
or benzine is to put it in a small
watering pot, such as is used fol
sprinkling house plants.

WHERE WOMAN is CUPERlOR.
Vegetarian Springs a Few Facts on
Astonished Companions.

Since the first of the year" he
said, Il haven't had a smoke, and

Everybody looked at him with
amazement, respect and awe. How
s~trong-willed he must be. they said;
how a~scetic, how SPIRITUAL! 1t was ire
mendOus.
And yet" said a pale vegetarian.
"all women, or at least so per cent. OF
them, maintain this wonderful absti-
hence their whole life long. Why
don't you praise them for it,"
With his medicated handkerchief
he brushed the from his lips.
I'VE men," he said, beside women
are hogs. We call our women silly;
we won't give them the vote; but the
average woman lives on a higher
plane than the average man. She
thinks of nobler things than money
~grubbing, drink, tobacco, food.
Did you ever hear your wife
growl about the cooking? Did you
ever hear Of a oma epicure? No;
woman is above the hoglike pleasures
Of the table. She is above such a
tobacco and whisky seanc as is now
going on here"
The vegetarian put on his cap o.
medicated flannel, and, despite the
warmth Of the night, drew the flannel

LABOR UNIONS OF THE FUTURE.
Labor Editor News-Democrat:
Sir-At the present time there are
good many international labor organiza-
tions that have as an attraction sick and
death BENEFITS after a certain period OF
membership. These In my opinion. while
endcavoring 60 be OF value to their re-
spective crafts--the best for the great
est number concerned--are not working
in the best interests of the union men.
The average working man on Joining
labor union Is generally affiliated with
some fraternal society or like insurance
company. In endeavoring TO maintain
his good standing in all three or more,
the matter Of dues becomes burdensome.
l would therefore suggest that all inter
national bodies having such benefits
would eudeavor TO work In the true in
terests Of unionism,-which at all times
should be the purpose OF obtaining better
wages and hours for union men-by cut
ting these sick and death benefits out.
As l understand II. labor unions were
organized to serve the workngman In
and in so doing he can easily adjust mat
ters as TO sick and death benefits In his
own way
Labor unions, while having accomplish

deal of good In the future by concentrate
