THOMAS T., LEWIS,

Mr.. Mitchell. There has been no open
hostility between the two men. Their
personal relations have been harmo-
NOUS, but they frequently disagreed as
to policies.
A well known writer on labor topics,
discussing the temperaments of the
two men, said: 1.-The trades unionism
of Lewis is Of more militant charac-
ter than that of Mitchell. Lewis is es-
sentially fighter. The occasional
warlike declarations emanating from
the official board of the Mine Workers
during the recent years have in a
great measure been due to his inf1u-
ence.''
Mr.. Lewis is said to be a man of ex-
ceptional capacity and thoroughly ia
miliar with the labor movement.

SESSION OF DIET
Financial Budget Approved by Japa-
nese Lower House.

Toxic, Feb. 14.-After an exciting
debate lasting six hours, which devel-
oped into a riot on the floor of the
house of representatives, the financial
budget was passed by majority of
I02. Speakers on both sides occupied
long time and towards the last they
thowled at the chair and charged favor
.dtism the opposing members demand
dngsan apology.
The chair suspended the session
FOR half an hour and upon resuming
the chair apologized to the opposition.
Impressive speeches were made
. during the debate, all making a point
OF the feature that more than one-half
.of the budget was expended in arma-
uments. 1t was also urged that the
f5tscal measures of the government did
g,,ot contain provisions to prevent an
'toutflow of gold while the balance of
strade had a tendency against Japan,
sfear being expressed that the basis of
ethe gold reserve might be endangered.
Upon the side of the ministry the
.principal speaker eloquently argued
what it was both unwise and danger
.ous to }publicly discuss the nations
finances from pessimistic standpoint,
thereby creating unnecessary alarm
abroad. He called attention TO the
natural resources of Japan, which
were only awaiting development by
cheap capital.

GUESSING Hide and Seek,

This is a quiet game, played sitting
still. The child who is to make be-
lieve'' hide decides in his own mind
where the hiding place is to be. This
may be On top or under bookcase, in,
vase or any nook or corner that ap-
peals to the child and not necessarily
place large or accessible enough to
really hide in.
When the word ready" is given, the
other children take turns at guessing
the hiding place, and as they may be
near or far from right, the old answers,
Hot" cold very hot" etc, are
given, just as in the regular game Of
hide and seek. If desired, prizes man,
be given to the one or two aking the
most correct guesses.

Game of Definitions.

This game is extremely simple. Pen
ellis and paper are distributed and each
member of the group asked to write
question or ask for definition.
The question papers are folded and
placed in a dish or basket, and each
player draws one. He is required to
answer the question which has fallen
to his lot.
Latent cleverness is often called
forth by the exigencies of the moment,
and when after each round the an
swers are read the war Of wit is most
amusing.
If desired, the players may use pseu-'
donyms. The best definition wins a
prize.
Examples of the questions, with anna
teur answers, are:
What is luck? Other peoples sue
cess
What is a hobby? A horse that
sometimes rides its rider.

SHIPMENTS

Railroads Hope to Stimulate Lumber
Shipments.
Seattle, Wash, Feb. 14.-At a con-
ference held here between attorneys
for the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific railways, Northwest lumber
men and the business interests ten
tative compromise of the rate ques-
tion was reached by the railroads
offering to haul lumber at 0the old
rates, leaving it optional with the
carriers whether or not the shippers
shall be required to put uD bonds to
guarantee the payment of the new
rate in case the railroads secure a
favorable decision from the interstate
commerce commission. Under this
agreement the railroads hope to slim
ulate the lumber shipments and the
lumber and single manufacturers
gain a point in not being absolutely
obliged to put up bonds to guarantee
the payment of the new rate. The en-
tire matter will be presented to Judge
Hanford of the United States court as
soon as the necessary details can be
agreed upon.

To Clean Wood.

If your kitchen table or your bread
board is discolored and scrubbing with
soap does not whiten it, take piece
of bath brick, wash the board with hot,
soapy water and then rub it thickly
with the bath brick. Then use a good
scrub brush and more hot water, give
thorough scrubbing, rinse it in clean
water and if possible put it out in the
sunlight to dry. Fine sand used in
stead of a bath brick will usually in
conjunction with soap and water re-
move the obstinate stains.
