UNDER THE SNOW
TRUE STORY OF NEW YEARS EVE

1t was New Years eve on Jack Rails
toms ranch, and the family and guests
were all gathered about the huge open
fireplace in the IivingrOOm. drinking
their coffee after a late dinner. The
lights were not lit and the party sat
in the pickering light of Il big fire Of
cracking pine logs, which threw out
quaint shadows in every direction.
This party was the usual one that
yearly gathered at Jack Ralstons to
spend the Christmas holidays with
him and his family. AS they sat in
the cheerful warmth and glow Of the
fire they listened to the fearful storm
that roared outside. A blizzard had
been raging for the past three days;
the wind howled and shrieked through
the mountain peaks, driving the fast
falling snow before it and piling it.
up in immense drifts against every
obstruction 1t was a bitter, biting
cold wind, too, as it tore through the
valley like a demon seeking whom it
might destroy, doing it's utmost to
completely bury the house from view
in the snow; but, sheltered as it was
by two giant rocks. one on each side.
with the mountain-side at its back.
the house was safe, in it's snug little
spot. even from the storms greatest
fury. The inclemcnt weather had
kept the men indoors, and they were
grumbling over their enforced idle
ness, and Dragged about the amount Of
game they would have bagged had
they only been able TO get out.
Say, Jack, it's some time yet be-
fore midnight Can't you spin us a
yarn?" finally said Bobby Caruthers,
after a long pause in the conversation.

looked like a young woman as she

The Price of Pearls.

Consul General William H. Michael
of Calcutta reports that scheme has
been set on foot to regulate the Indian
pearl market and to prevent a repe-
tition of the disastrous experience of
last year, on account Of the money
crisis in the United States An agency
is to be formed in India with several
branches, and head office at Bombay,
to collect pearls and to dispatch them
to the London market at fixed price,
but subject to offers. Against these
parcels a small advance will be given
in Bombay, while the price is being
cabled for to London. The promoters
of the scheme say that there is a great
future in store for the Indian pearl in
dustry if it can be properly handled.
The syndicate intends to extend it's
operations to the Australian fisheries.

Apartments for Taft Family

The apartments of the President
and Mrs. Roosevelt, in the White
House, are those occupied by Presi-
dent and Mrs Harrison and President

less be chosen by Mr.. and Mrs. Taft.
They are in the southwest corner of
the house. 1t is in the great corridor,
upstairs, Immediately over the famous
one on the first floor, that afternoon
tea is served by Mrs. Roosevelt, a
pretty custom which will no doubt be
followed by Mrs. Taft, as she formed
the afternoon tea habit during her
long residence in the Philippines Dur
ing the spring and fall months this
tea is served upon the south portico,
which Mrs. Roosevelt always has
fitted most cozily with rugs, easy
chairs, benches and innumerable pill

No more our money sQuander;
No more We'll lick their mother;
OF church Wen be much fonder.
No more we'll cuff the children's

No more Wen lick thei rmother;
No more we'll kick our dog about
Or borrow from our brother.
We'll steal no more, though oppor-
Well tap no tills this season;
And highway robbery give up
For most sufficient reason.
Wen want to murder, but we won't
Wen want to play at arson;
Wen want to steal the pews from

And roo the good old parson.
Wen thirst to kill a cop or two
Well itch to make abductiCns;
Wen want to burn the poorhouse
down
And make some big reductions.
But tits the Day when all resolve
The Day OF resolutions;
The Day when all awake to feel
The need of evoluti0ns.
Sc put it down in black and white,
And say it altogether;
Wen angels be the coming year,
No matter what the weather"

TURNING THE LEAF

Another leaf we turn to-day
In times great book OF years,
And shut the blotted sheet away
Wherein the past appears.
And to the paper clean and white
Sit down with hope aglow,
Resolved that what we there may
write
A fairer page shall show
o lax intent! o bootless zeal!
We make our plans in vain;
Full soon the passing days reveal
Unsightly blots again.
Yet to our purpose stout We stand
No failure faith perceives,
Till memory with cruel hand
Turns up the shabby leaves.
And then we see with bitter grief,
AS On each scrawl We gaze,
Although we've changed the year and
leaf!
We haven't changed our ways.

PLAN TO ABOLISH
SUNDAY BURIALS
STOCKTON UNDERWRITERS LEAD
IN MOVE TO STOP FUNERALS ON
THE SABBATH.

STOCKTON, August 24-The UNDER
takers and ministers of this city are
making preparations to abolish Sun
day funerals at an early date. Some
months ago the matter was consid-
cred, but at that time no agreement
could be reached and the proposition
was dropped. Since the undertakers
returned from the recent convention
held at San Jose, they have again de-
cided to consider the matter, and in
tend holding a meeting with a view
of forming an association for the spe-
cial purpose of arranging for day of
rest.
They claim that their business is the
only one that is conducted seven days
in week, and as they are compelled
to get up at all times of the night to
attend to cases, they belive that they
should at least have one day to them
selves.

VICTIMS OF EIFFEL TOWER,

The Eiffel Tower, painted once every

victims every time the work is done.
When, after five painters had met a
terrible death by falling headlong from
the structure, the directors proposed
that ropes and belts should be pro-
vided for men at work on the tower
the painters rebelled. 1t was a matter
of professional honor and trade vanity
with them. In the repainting carried
out in 1895 seven men fell, their bo-
dies crashing deep into the earth. In
1900 the directors endeavored to OBJ
tain the services of men who had pre-
viously painted the tower, deeming
that their experience would diminish
the danger of accident. The men were
obtained, and agreed to work Tor the
usual pay provided only that they
were not required to disgrace them
selves with life-saving belts and rig
