BACK FROM INDIANA

j. w. Mathews, the attorney, re-
turned Sunday noon from a five
weeks visit to his old home in In
diana. His sister died while he was
there She had been in i'll health for
some time Mr.. Mathews went east
five weeks ago with M. G. Gray. He
returned over the Canadian Pacific
Soo-Spokane railroad and reports the
latter one of the most pleasant roads
over which to travel between the east
and the west. Crops are good in
Indiana and throughout the states of
the middle west. Wheat in Indiana
is yielding about 20 bushels per acre
"a good crop for that state. Corn
looks well and promises a good
yield.
Il was surprised at the ignorance
of people n the middle west display
ed about this western country" said
Mr., Mathews. Il was asked have
you this?' and have you that?' until
got tired. | told people we beat
you in everything but sunshine. You
get the sunrise about two hours earl
Ter than we do, but aside from that
the west beats the middle west on
everything you can mention" Mr.
Mathews says he suffered more with
the heat and the humidity than he
has ever suffered before and long
ed for the pure, dry air of the west.
Il would not think of going back
there to live again after having lived
here" he said.

SCARCITY OF CARPENTERS

Pullman's building operations are
so great that there is a great scarcity
of carpenters and efforts are being
made to import some workmen from
other places. |. Dysart. the contrac-
tor, said to the Herald reporter: a
have been trying to get some men
from other places and can use several
more men. All of the carpenters in
Pullman are behind with their or
ders and work is increasing all the
time. | lave refused to take any
small jobs because Ican't get the men
to do the work. | have the promise
of some men from other places and
IL they come will be able to catch
up with some of my work, but l am
not certain that they will come"
Efforts to hire men to do some car
penter work have been without avail,
for every man who can handle a ham
mer and a saw is busy and has work
enough ahead to keep him busy until
winter. A number of good carpenters
can find work here now, for Pull
man is making a fast and steady
growth and more building is being
done here than in any town in the
Palouse country.

HER sAARE IN THE OWNERSHIP.
Something Proud Young Fathef seemed
In Danger Of Forgetting.

He picked up the baby. he hoped,
just as II picking babies Up were an
everyday occurrence. In point OF fact,
he remembered that an elderly lady
had told him in his youth that eats,
when lifted, like to be supported with
a hand held underneath, and he
thought that this principle would work
out with babies, and it did. And hay
ing awakened Louise, he handed her
back, triumphant. to Constance, diffus-
ing an air Of competency, as though he
could help rear any number OF chill
dren at once. At any rate, she was
comforted. Whether he knew much
or little, he stood back Of her.
1t may be that Johns success as a
when he was not. He certainly put
on airs about the baby. 1t was not
long after this that he lured two old
friends ostensibly to dinner. His in
vitation did not include a visit to
Louise. and, of course, it was merely
an accident that she should have been
awake at the time when they were
there. As matter Of fact, she usually
awoke at that hour, but the men didn't
know this-or perhaps they wouldn't
have come. Men have becoming shy
ness about babies, and these were
bachelors.
John had arrived at that state of ar
rogance when he actually went over
to the crib. and asking no ones per-
mission, picked Louise up and dis
played her to the two men, who were
as embarrassed as a. dog in the pres
ence OF June bug He laid her down
again with an expert hand, and osten-
tatiously changed the subject, to show
that he was not among those fathers
who pushed their children down other
peoples threats. But his manner
said:
This is my baby; and when you fell
lows can show me anything as inter-
esting you will be of value to So
ciety."
1t was after they had gone that Con-
stance came up, and put her hands on
Johns shoulders, and said:

too."-Woman's Home Companion.
