Bundle TOlePS.

II is said that chief justice Marshaii
once visited the Richmond market
with a basket on his arm to take with
him home supplies for his family, and
while standing at one OF the stalls
heard young man complaining 'ha'
he could get no one to tote his Daske'
TO his home. The immortal lurls'
nromptly offered to do it dor him.
The fault finder accepted his services
handed him a dime, and off went the
basket home by one OF the foremost
Judges Of the ages.

sert our independence and get III the
habit of toting our own bundles. we
would soon learn that it is much more
satisfactory to 90 to market with our
own basket, select our choice OF cuts
and then deliver them at our own
doors.
OF course there are exceptions to all
rules. and some Of our house keepers
must order by phone, and trust to the
carriers but the majority OF us could
and should unite in saving our mer'
chants from the extra expense OF de-
livering the goods we buy and at the
same time enjoy more Of the glorl

LUMBER MEN ARE HuFfY
SAY REPORT CONCERNING BOT
TOMLESS MARKET UN-
FOUNDED.
Rc,ducton in Tariff May Reduce Both
Cost of Stumpage and Labor in
Northwest.

PORTLAND, Ore, April 3.-Colum-
bia and Willamette river lumber man
ufacturers and loggers are cOnsidera-
bly, wrought up over a report which
has appeared in a number of news
papers on the Pacific coast that the
bottom has dropped out of the lumber
market in the northwest. Prominent
men in the lumber business state that
there is absolutely no reason for the
publication of such a report; that
there is no reason for leggers to re-
duce prices on the present output of
the logging camps and that there be-
ing no surplus and with the cost of
labor and the price of stumpage adj
vancing, a reduction at this time is
out of the question. What will happen
if the tariff on lumber is greatly re-
duced is problematical, but some OF
the timbermen maintain that unless
the tariff is maintained it will result
in a reduction in both the cost of
stumpage and the cost of labor.

GREAT INTEREST IN NAPLES
King Emanuel Sends Greetings to Fa-

NAPLES, April 3.-Never before have
the people of Naples SHOWN such an
interest in the arrival of a foreigner as
in the expected arrival of ex-President
Roosevelt.
Unfortunately. however, the brevity
of Mr.. Roosevelt's stay here will COM
pei the abandonment of many of the
arrangements that have been made for
his entertainment. He probably will
be able to remain in Naples but a few
hours, for the latest reports say that
the Hamburg will not reach here until
Monday afternoon or evening.
King Emmanuel has instructed the
Duke of Aosta to welcome the ex-Pres-
ident to Italy in his name and to ex-
press to Mr.. Roosevelt the kings wish
to make his personal acquaintance
which he would have taken steps to
do had not Mr.. Roosevelt travelled In
the strictest incognito. The German
emperor, besides sending greetings. has
ordered the German consul general
here to fill Mr. Roosevelt's cabin on the
steamship Admiral with carnations

ors. or a token of the emperor's hon.
age.
The Roosevelt quarters on the Ad-
miral will be perfect bower. for ev-

The American. ambassador, attended

Journalists are coming in from every

harbor among them Anthony j.

It is probable that spectators on the

KNIGHT OF THE TIES is
FORCED TO ABANDON RIDE
Fails to Provide Himself With Ticket
and Lands on Terra Firma Soon
After Starting.

PASCO, Wash, April 3.-(Special)
That the "Hobos' path is not al
ways strewn with roses was fully
demonstrated this morning when one
of the worthy gentlemen of the ties
who had decided that he would take a
ride with Conductor Anderson over the
S. p. and S. without first providing
himself with a ticket or the where
with to buy one. The man evidently
had an overload of bad "booze' aboard
as it was out Of the question for the
irrita. ed conductor, to make him un-
derstand what was necessary in order
to ride with him. Promptly the train
was stopped at the junction of the N.
p. and S. P. and S., and the conductor,
who had lost good share of his tenn
per proceeded to drag the knight OF
the twentieth century down the isle
of the car in the direction of the door.
Though Conductor Anderson. weighs
iusta little less than 800 pounds he
had no easy task in getting Mr.. Hobo
off the train.

DUSTY WORK BRINGS
GREATER DEATH RATE
BUREAU OF LABOR PUBLISHES
BULLETIN ON RAVAGES OF
CONSUMPTION.
Annual Saving Of $4,000 Lives Would
Result From Intelligent Methods
of Ventilation.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-An an
nual saving Of more than 22.o08 lives
representing reduction in the con-
sumption death rate from % pei
1000 to is per 1000. would result
from intelligent methods of ventilation
and dust removal in the United States
This opinion is expressed in a bull
letin issued today by the bureau OF
labor which says mortality from con-
sumption among workers in dusty
trades is from to 8 times as great
as the general death rate from the
disease.
Of deaths from all causes among
males over Is years Of age, in the
United States 14.8 Per cent are from
consumption, while according to re-
liable figures, the death rate from the
disease among men engaged in dusty
occupations ranges from 24.S per cent,
for those exposed to vegetable hpre
dust to 369 per cent for those ex-
posed to metallic dust.
The occupa Ion showing the hlghest
consumption mortality was that or

of all deaths were from that disease.

The 14th mile saw some pretty
jockeying, Hayes was full mile De-
hind the leaders at the beginning OF
the 18th, but was showing signs OF
waking up. Shrub took nourishment
and slowed up a bit while StYves Kept
on. Dorando gained some of his lost
ground in the 10Th mile and passed
Hayes again. Longboat here showed
signs of weariness and was losing
ground. In the 18th StYves carried
Shrubb along at furious sprint
while Longboat suddenly stopped in
front of his training stand and was
rubbed vigorously by his trainers.
After three or four minutes he re-
sumed, but we was plainly fegweary.
StYves suddenly started fast clup
in the 18th mile, which brought him
half lap ahead of Shrubb in less than
a mile. This was the first indication
of Shrubs weakening and he appear
ed to be using his utmost Strength to
prevent the Frenchman gaining lap.
Longboat about this time dropped out
of the race, thoroughly spent.

more than minutes ahead of tn

Hayes was running strongly in the
21st mile and was cutting down nap
idly his distance previously lost, while
Shrubb had slowed almost to walk.

so far as first place was concerned.

Dorando passed Shrubb, reaching
second place. A few moments later
Shrubb gave up and staggered toward
his dressing room.
1t was about dark when StYves with
a Sensational sprint, crossed the line
winner of the race, and the photogra-
pliers turned loose flashlights to get
his picture. Dorando, Hayes and NAL
oney kept on to the finish.
