the French call Memories. They have q

DR.. Edward Everett Hale. who nlls an

readers that the discovery OF America he

California, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas

influence Of the Home.

The memory of home is one of the
richest of our mental investments and u
powerful deterrent against evil lives. OF
course, 1t depends very much upon the
kind of a home one has, and there is the
point The way people try to get away
fraN their home is not favorable symp-
tom.
One starts home, fills 1t with beauti-
full furniture, dishes, rugs, bric-a-brac,
pictures, everything that pleases the eye;
then he packs his trunks and goes of
somewhere Or at night, when the lamps
CLEAN, and the books glitter, and the pic
lures smile. and the plano coaxes for
some sweet voice, one must robe up and
go down to the club or to the society of
antiquated anecdotes, and spend the
evening" This is no thrust at the social
Side or life. 1t is an announcement,
rather The only society that is worth
picayune is that which is built on beau
tiful homes-homes of Intelligence, Ct
taste, culture, of courtesy and pleas
ant personality. They may not be splen.
did homes. but places where the soul
shines as best as IT may. These make
true society. The stale. insipid, CAD
away-from-home kind make superficial
and gossipy society. II one is a member
or true society, he has a home altar
where his friends may come and enjoy a
season OF mirth, OF knowledge, of Gull
ture' and where wife, a sister, or a
daughter is a priestess to lead in the
service of grace, beauty and goodness
That is the sort Of home that adorns
the present and makes happy and profit
able the future. There is no finer altar
anywhere. 1t is the good reason one may
have for visiting others.

WORK ON THE Il.
WACO RAILROAD
TUNNEL UNDER FIT. COLUMBIA
OVER HALF DONE - HARD TO
KEEP A FULL CREW AT
WORK.

Work on the extension OF the llwaco
Railway is PROGRESSING slowly and 1t
will probably be January lst before the
line is finished to the new terminus op-
posite Astoria, where the finishing
touches are now being put on the dock
and warehouse which is one of the finest
in the country and fitted up with all
the modern appliances for the fast
of traffic. Work on the tunnel
under TT. Columbia is progressing rap
idly and 800 feet of the 800 remains to
be bored. Between Ilwaco and Chinook
there are several cuts that are giving
the men a lot of trouble as the ground is
full of springs and it is impossible for
teams to work in it so the track has
been laid up to the place and steam
shovel has been put to work. The one
great trouble is to keep men at work
and there is a steady stream coming and
going. For example, there are supposed
to be 50 men on the laying gang,
vet last month over 200 names appear
on the pay roll.

PUNCTILIOUS.

A French schooner went ashore at
one of the fashionable resorts. When
day dawned she was plainly in sight
from the beach, the waves breaking
over her decks, and the crew clinging
to the shrouds. Then the summer
residents focked to the waters edge,
where hfe-saving crew was working.
Mercy man, why don't you all do
something-try to save those poor men?
I wonder what they are" an excited
woman gasped catching a bronzed
coast-guard by the ram.
'We are doing all. we can, madam"
was the hurried reply. "They are
French. We have just sent them line
to come ashore"
The lady turned with a look Of ad-
miration in her eyes.
Gust think of that, Mary" she said.
"And isn't it just like those awfully po-
lite Frenchmen? That man said they
had just sent them a line to come
ashore. You see, they wouldn's come,
though they were about to be drowned,
without a formal invitation."-Success

A BIG CLAIM.
Miss Annie Anderson Files Claim Against
City For $4,000 Damages.

J. H. Smith, as attorney for Annie
Anderson, filed a claim in the city audi
tors office, yesterday, for $4,000, dam
ages resulting from an accident month
ago. An affidavit was fled in which
the claimant states that she was in
jured, during the regatta, at the foot OF
Eleventh, by stepping off an approach
leading to the regatta stand. She
claims that she was so badly injured
that she has been confined to the hos
pital ever since. She sustained severe
shock to her nervous system, she AYERS,
and suffered bruises and internal in
iuries. 1t is not the institution of a
suit, but really to protect a claim, which
owing to the charter, as it now stands,
any claim for damages by accident, on
the streets, must be filed within 30 days
after the accident occurs.
Several interesting questions will arise
over this claim. The full result of these
injuries, to Miss Anderson, cannot yet
be fully determined, as she is still at
the hospital. While her ultimate recov-
cry is looked for, it is impossible, owing
to her age, to forsee possible compli-
cations 1t is for this reason that the
amount of damages is placed SO high
There is a question as whether the ac.
cident happened on city property or or
private property. While it is evident
that suit will be commenced, it has
not yet been determined who the suit
will be against. This will be matter
for future consideration, the filing Of
the claim at this time being to protect
the rights of the injured lady as to the
city authorities.
