A CHRISTMAS THOUGHT
From a CHRISTMAS REVERIE,"
(Ry Mrs. Florence Tucker Winder.)

I do not think hat the children or
even those OF older growth think
enough Of what this advent season
looked upon from such a commercial
standpoint and such big things are
before our eye that maybe some Of
us forget that these days before
Christmas, which we call Advent,
should be looked upon as days of sol
eun preparation for the coming of q
King-it is true. but one. thank God,
who came meek and lowly, wrapped
in sWaddling clothes, whose cradle was
a manger and whose mother was a
irg'n.
We have a gentle reminder in a
bright star, that the season is near;
let us look up to the skies for the
source o. light and let US follow its
beams down to earth. and with it,
he'd a radiance by kind words and
good deeds upon those who ignorantly
''sit in darkness" ard make this
Christmas. if none oth@r, a delight TO
the loWly; and pray Almighty God to
give US grace that we may cast away
the works of darkness and put on the
arrcr Of light.
Could we net for awhile sit beside
the weary read AID listen to the voices
of gtntier suggestion rather than be
lmpelleG TO GO so many things that
count for so little.
In the meantime. let us each strive
to elevate our ccuntryrnen n fnefly
hcpe to DIN the new Choir Invisible"
Of children, and rising. meet them
singing:
happy herhor of God saints.
Q sweet and peaceful soil;
II thee no sorrow ran he found,
Nor grief. nor care, nor toll:
Thy a-dens and the good,y paths
Continually are green,
~ such sweet and pleasant
flowers,
As n~wsere else are seen"

Splnners are complaining bitterly Of

possible from the market. Further

In addition there has been not a

NO OFFICIAL CONNECTION.
State Department Officials Disown J.
Ham. Lewis.

Washington, Oct. S.-State depart
ment officials declare that former Rep
resentative J. Hamilton Lewis has no
connection whatever with the state de-
partment. He has not, they say, Wis
tied China on any official mission. nor
ie he cbaTged with any matter in con-
nection with the department.
If Mr. Lewis has come to Washing

pose of having an interview. with Ihe
secretary of state, the officials mere
have no knowledge Of it.
The impression has gone abroad that
the visit of Mr.. Lewis here at this time
had to do with the forthcoming con-
ference with Mr.. Crane, now on his
wav to Washington after having
started for China, but if such is the
fact the department officials profess to
know nothing of it.

WILL FIGHT NEW
GRAIN LAW

| Seattle grain dealers declare thai
the law providing for the inspection
of each car of hay or grain shipped
| to the Sound will be contested wher
an attempt is made to collect the 81
fee which the law provides. The new
law went into effect June L.
/ Aside from the inspection of every
carload of hay, every shipment OF
wheat, oats and barley must be
weighed The inspection and weigh
| ing of hay is the result of a bill
passed by the last legislature which
puts the state grain department un-
der the jurisdiction of the railroad
commission.
The contention made against the
law is that when dealers buy hay and
grain in eastern Washington and
store it in their own warehouses, and
when needed have it shipped to the
coast, the inspection can not possibly
affect the prices that are to be paid,
and it merely means the inspection
of commodity shipped from one part
of the state to another.
The law is all right for growers
who wish to make the shipments di-
rest and subject to state inspection,
but is not fair to dealers who make
their own inspection in the fields be-
fore purchasing and storing the COM
is one argument offered
against the measure.
The purpose of the law is to pre-
vent dealers from rejecting hay on
the grounds of its being of a poor
quality, when passed as good by the
as it is claimed many
dealers at certain dull times in the
year refuse to take the hay they have
agreed to purchase, using that as an
excuse.
