You can take it all in at one
glance A rickety old bedstead,
one wooden chair, no mirror, no
picture, not one single attractive
feature about it. The lad steals
away to this desolate chamber as
the hens go to roOst at night and
is up with them in the morning.
He pulls on his scant clothing and
yawns away out to the hillsides
for the cows, and at a quarter aft
err five they are being MIXED. He
scrubs his face in the washpan on
the back stoop. If a neighbor lad
comes to visit him he is ashamed
of his room, and they lounge in

cessories, nice bedstead wash
stand, mirror, a beautiful shaving
set, carpet and rug, slippers and
all. Then on the quiet Sunday he
would be delighted to introduce
his friend Tom to his room and
show him with delight his very
own things. If these desert spots
could be changed into GASES, the
lad would have more pleasing

WHY THE BOY LEAVES THE
FARM.
By One Who Knows.

tlrst-The constant stream of
talk about hard times and the
yearly failure of the crops. AL
ways and ever after the last cent.
II the barn is on the opposite side
of the road to the house, the inter
vening space looking like a junk
shop.
Yesterday I drove past such a
scene of desolation. Old harrow,
old wagon, two old plows, a brok-
en-down roller and through these
had sprung up the finest crop of
burdocks that you could imagine.
The dooryard full of weeds, and
when the lad said to the father:
/ guess that | will slick up this
old yard" the reply was, "Never
mind it; there is no money in
Sticking up!" The lad knew how
much money was placed in the
bank that very year. This kind of
disparaging talk, with a constant
ly increasing bank account, dis
gusts the lad, and he determines
to seek comfort and prosperity
elsewhere.
Second-Everlasting drudgery.
| was driving very early to dis
trlct conference. The morning
star had just deserted the top of
the hill, and the king of day was
fast taking his place, when / heard
the bars being let down by a lad
of about II. Waiting to be let
through was a most discouraged
looking team. The shame of it
all Farmers teams should be al
ways fat and spirited; the farm
ers have everything at first cost
But all are Of the same piece
the farmer and his wife, the hired
man and the boy; the only happy
thing on such a farm is the lamb
before it has to grub for itself.
I said to this lad, "Where are
you going so early in the morn
ing "
He replied, EDO you see that
plow on the hillside yonderY Well,
I IN going up there, and I shall
pillow until half-past eleven and
then / shall be at it again at two
and work until dark. But / tell
you one thing-just as soon as |
can I shall leave the farm. I'm
tired out all the time, and |
haven't decent clothes and can t
go anywhere. l won't stay when

| watched the discouraged boy
and the discouraged team as they
plodded their weary way up the
hillside that fall morning. And
thought, no wonder the morning
star withdrew from such a scene.
pitied the lad from my heart.
No need of such conditions.
Third-Thoughtless dishonesty.
Not many weeks since, this fact
was tearfully related to me:
| said to the lad of IA, "Have
you colt of your own?"
"Not now. l had one last year.
Father gave me a little colt and
said that if | would take care of it

Gus pleadings of Hin attorneys In the
federal court condensation suits. The
latest story puts very different light
on the subject of the most mysteri-
Gus railroad system the west has ever
known.
The Canadian Pacific has long ago
determined to have its own road in
Washington, uniting the chief job
bling and wheat shipping points of
eastern Washington with Seattle and
thereby gaining an outlet to tide wa
ter shipping.
For this reason the Canadian Pa
cific could well afford to bear the ex-
pense OF the construction of a line
from Spokane, where the British cor
poration Is now well entrenched, to
a junction in eastern Washington
with projected line of the North
western from its Wyoming terminus
at Lander to Kiona, via Walla Walla.
Following out this theory nothing
would be more natural than that the
Canadian Pacific and the Northwest
ern would find it convenient and
profitable to join in the construction
of the main line west from Kiona,
over through the Yakima valley and
over Cowlitz Pass to Seattle.
The routes. indicated in the fore
going are all well outlined in the sur
veys filed by the North Coast with
the state railroad commission. That
the Northwestern will within five
years or less find some means of run
ming its own trains into Seattle has
been privately admitted by officials
Of the Vanderbilt system. The policy
Of the Canadian Pacific of building
feeder lines into Hill territory in the
Pacific northwest was semi-ofacially
announced more than a year ago.

REPORT FROM GRANGEVILLE
SAYS THAT THE CHICAGO &

BUILT VIA WALI4A WALIAA.

That Walla Walla will be ON the
main line of the Chicago & North

following dispatch from Grangeville:
A party of IL railroad engineers,
ostensibly employed by the Chicago

Grangeville yesterday enroute to
Whitebird where they will start sur

intention of meeting the engineering

1t is said that the Northwestern Is

along the Salmon river down the

where connection will be made with
the North Coast railroad.

AMONG THE prominent Democratic lawyers
of Maryland who have pronounced views on
the subject of the Straus Acknowledgement
amendment is Mr.. Francis King Carey, of
Baltimore In an interview a few days ago
he said "Our county friends seem deter
mined to do everything in their power to make
it impossible for the city of Baltimore to keep
pace with her sister cities of the North and
West. While the progressive element in the
community has been doing its best to adver-
tise the commercial possibilities of the town;
to encourage a cosmopolitan spirit and to
lessen the tremendous local resistance to bust
ness activity, our county friends seem deter
mined to advertise Maryland and Baltimore as
a negro-ridden community and to put US in
the apologize position of South Carolina and
other similar states toward which the Northern
and Western communities occupy patroniz-
ing attitude. Just at the time when the people
of Baltimore ought to have their minds fixed
on municipal progress and the big practical
things of life which make for the welfare and
good of community as whole, the State
Democratic Committee seems determined TO
distract public attention and waste public
energy with an acrimonious fight over this
amendment, which, believe, will be over
whelmingly defeated"
