lie. Mrs. Anderson's literary career
has been unusual in that instead Of
beginning as young girl to send
manuscripts to the publishers, she
waited until she was . grandmother.
Her own life and observations have
furnished material for many story
of the Pacific northwest. Born In
China some so years ago, the state of
Washington has been her home since
girlhood. The plot of her first book
was made up largely of actual ex-
periences of her own and of charac-
tiers fashioned after men and women
who had come under her personal
observation. She tells a love story
we'll and her descriptions of natural
scenery are wonderfully fine and
true. The events of the new story
take place in the Puget Sound cOun-
try and the plains of the upper Col
umbia, whose life, atmosphere and
scenery the author so we'll describes.
Though not a historical novel, the
story hinges on conditions in the Pa
cific northwest in the fifties, after
the territory of Washington was par
celed from old Oregon, and at the
close of the joint occupancy treaty,
before the withdrawal of the Hud-
son Bay company from Fort Nisqual-
ly.

Hungry Hearts.

Mrs. Frank Frost, editor of the
Vandalia (Mo.) Leader, is the author
of the following gem:
How many hungry hearts there
are in the world hungering for recog-
milton, for a word of praise. The
hungriest heart in this. world is an
unpraised woman whose husband
never gives her word of praise or
recognition for sacrifice made in his
behalf. Love may be there in his
heart for her, love deep and abiding,
and should death claim her. the foun-
tains of his heart would be broken up
and he would realize what he had
lost, and cover her grave with roses,
which, had they been presented a
single one at time with a 1.-THE
of the tenderness he now shows, her
pathway would have been far bright
er and her life ray of sunshine, not
that her burdens were diminished,
but by knowledge indisputable that
her efforts were appreciated. A
hungry heart, which is destined never
to be fed, is one of the saddest spec
tacles ever witnessed in this world
of ours.
eff you have a word of praise to
bestow on your wife--if 1t is due
bestow it. Do not wait until she is
dead, and be forced through binding
tears to tell your heart in it's throb-
bling that you have lived dual life
by sitting thoughts and keeping
back words that would have brought
flush of pleasure to her cheeks, old
as she is, and set her heart to dane
ing with pleasure, only known to
those who have had their hungry
hearts fed by praise and commenda-
ton"

THE RICH TIGHTWAD.
Jack Dalton Makes Some Pertinent
Observations Concerning Ger
tain Class of Citizens.

1t is no wonder that some people
get rich and no wonder that some
people stay rich, for, after all, it is
not what one makes, but what he
saves, that makes him rich, SAYS
Jack Dalton, and the people of De-
corah are no exception to this rule.
In fact, they are very much like peo-
rle of all towns and places as far
as money-getting and money-pinch-
ing goes. When man with a large
family and an income sufficient only
to keep them in comfortable living,
with little laid by for rai~y day,
attends a church and sits near a
man with a small family and a big
income, he begins to study up on the
matter of riches a little. Too often
the man of small means will pay
fully as much for his pew and sup
port of his pastor and the church
as the man who has the big wad
And then, when a contribution is
asked for to make repairs or defray
expenses, the man with the small
income will pay twice as much as the
tightwad with the $4,000 worth of
good Iowa land. 1t is the same in
all churches-the man of ordinary
means pays the most, while the av-
erage rich man pinches his dollars
so hard that the squealing of the
eagle disturbs the congregation. The
man with the most money is always
on the lookout to make money by
pinching what he has. He buys
where he can buy the cheapest and
cares not the snap of his fingers
for home industry, unless he happens
to be into a little bit of industry
that is supported by home patronage.
Then he is loud squealer for home
loyalty, but the catalogue house gets
most of his money on the quiet The
rich tightwad is the curse and blight
of every community. His family
eats the least meat, gets along on
the least groceries, drives the hardest
bargains in clothing and either beat
their way in church and society or
pay so little as to always be con-
temptibly conspicuous. The rich
tightwad pays the lowest possible
assessment to church, lodge and
public benefits, and to charity his
name is unknown. He knows he is
spotted as cheap and mean, but that
does not worry him. for he has the
money. and money is his little god.
He eats like gourmand at free
feast, but when he goes away from
home he seeks only the cheapest
restaurants and hotels. If he drinks
at all he does SO ION the sly" so
that he will run no risk of having
to buy for somebody else" No
wonder he gets rich, but he is well
come to his money. He gets little
or nothing out of life and after he
is dead the only thing to remind his
neighbors of him is his costly grave
stone, paid for out of his estate.
