Modern Whalers Use Cannon and an
Explosive HARMON.

with modern methods in Alaskan
waters is an exciting game, especially
for those who are new to the business.
The modern Whaling steamer is a
little vessel almost round on the

managed with the greatest ease.
Mounted at the bow is a small, can

The spear is thrust well down into

The whaling station is group of
buildings situated in bay or cove
near enough to the feeding grounds to
allow the steamer to come in each
night with the days catch. The
whales are anchored at buoy in
front of a long. inclined platform,
upon which they are drawn, tail first,
by means of steam winch
The saying that every part of the
pig but the squeal is now of market
value Is also a fact with the whale.
Not a particle of thu animal is wasted
After the skeleton is stripped of flesh
it is disarticulated and the bones
chopped in pieces.
The blubber is tried out for oil and
the meat and bones are boiled for the
same purpose. Later the flesh is arti-
ficially dried and sifted, making fine
guano, and the bones are ground up
for fertilizer. Even the blood IS
boiled and dried with the flesh, and
the water IN which the blubber has
been +ried out makes excellent glue.
The fus and tail after being sliced
into thin strips are salted and bar
relied and shipped TO Japan as an ar
-icle of food.

earlier in the day to Enrico, and added
the following brief postscript:
why did you tell me nothing of
Count Carossa's marriage? Send me

More than that he could not bring
himself to put even to his friend, but
to Clare he wrote a long letter and
poured out all his trouble, for she was

In Locust street, close to the stage

he bowed his head on his hands and
sat for long time motionless, over

Well, there was a certain increasing
fame. But, after all, what was that?
Success as sweet, and yet in way it

Eating FOR Strength.

The greatest pleasure to be de-
rived from eating is the pleasure one
gets in the knowledge that his food is
giving him greater strength and vi
tally.
Because of this fact there is a con-
slant increase in the consumption OF
Quaker Oats; every time the strength
making qualities of Quaker Oats have
been tested by scientific investigation
or by experiments in families 1t has
been found to be food withoat am
equal
1t builds the muscles and brain with
out taxing the digestive organs; IL
costs SO little anyone can afford 1t.
and it is so carefully prepared and
packed that it is absolutely pure and
clean. A Quaker Oats eating family
is always healthy family. N
Quaker Oats is packed IN regular
size packages and also in large size
family packages. The latter very con-
venient for those not near the store.

COURT IS DIVIDED.
Bell Company Wins Suit Started
by Mrs. Susie Brown.
ASKED CIVIL RIGHTS DAMAGES
iowa Supreme Court Holds That Pri-
waite Business Concern Is Per.
mitted to Refuse Negro at
Food Show.

Des Moines, Nov. 20.-The Iowa
supreme court declared that a BUSH
| ness concern serving coffee or lunch
es or giving away souvenirs at a
pure food show is not obliged to serve
negro unless it feels like doing so,
and that business concern can make
such a discrimination against a ne
gro, even though the person SO dis
eliminated against pays the regular
admission to the pure food show and
is as much visitor at the show as
white person.
The question was brought up in
the case of Mrs. Susie Brown against
the j. II. Bell company. Mrs. Brown
attended the Des Moines Pure Food
show on Nov. 23,' 1907, and paid her
admission. Appearing at the booth
OF the Bell company, she asked for
cup of coffee and was told by ]. F.
Lane, in charge of the booth, that
the company did not serve negroes.
she brought action in the district
court for $1,000 damages for the hu.
initiation. A demurrer was overruled
unu tthC QutSIiOu taken 10 the SUI
preme court.
The court in its majority opinion
holds that the sole question involved
was whether or not under the civil
rights act of Iowa, Mrs. Brown suf-
fered any injury to her rights when
she was refused coffee that was given
white women. The majority opinion
also holds that the Bell company was
| merely concessioner at the show,
was not per Sc part of the show
to the extent that those who paid to
see the show were entitled to gifts
which concessioners might make to
visitors, and that those booths were
in the nature Of strictly private BUSH
| ness. The court then holds that such
being the case, a person engaged lii
strictly private business can do
| business with any person he sees fit
| and can discriminate against any per-
| son he chooses.
Chief Justice Evans and Justice
Weaver strongly dissented from the
! opinion of the majority, and held that
the plaintiff was entitled to be served
| with coffee the same as white women.
because the booths were part of the
! general show.
