A Good One On Lewis Larson.

Florence, WASH, Oct. 80, 1910.
Editor of the LEADER: 1t is with
great pleasure that l enjoy reading
the LEADER away out In this western
country and If it is not through the
courtesy of the Grant scribe that l
am enjoying this pleasure, 1 am at a
loss to name the friend. Judging
from olden times and as a brother of
the Grant scribe, I am Of the opinion
that there IS something going tc hap,
pen. When the scribe attends swell
parties and tries to be a boy again
and Guidance all the girls in the
house, some one ought to buy him a
rocking chair with words On the seat
reading "Sweet Home" We don't
mind his having a good time as he
did at the LEADER picnic when his
wife was along, but when he under.
takes to go 1t alone he needs looking
after, as he is liable to go the limit as
he did With the steer.
This Grant scribe, when a boy, was
herding cattle or the prairie and was
anxious to Guido any cowboy in the
country, and one day tried it on a
steer He got a steer by the tail and
tried to leap on it's back. The steer
got skeered and beloved and away it
went snorting with Lewis holding on.
In passing a few prairie schooners
one of the men yelled: where are
you going. boy?" Lewis said he didn't
know but he was on the road and as
long as the tail held out he was going
to stay by 1t.
l have had the pleasure of seeing
that boy but once since that steer
race, and that was when he made a
trip out here to make me a visit, and
he wrote an account of that trip for
the LEADER, but he didn't tell all
that happened.
He and l 9 taking a steamboat
ride from Seattle to Bremerton, and
during that trip he saw two big fish
jump out Of the water. He COM
menced pulling his coat and said he
was going to catch those fish. We
told him he was on a steamboat over
deep water and might drown, and
that Puget Sound was not like the
big ditch In Grant township. He
wanted to know if h sound &c. dry
and we told him hardly ever, and
IS dry as Grant township even
when the fish stole the calf.
l remember, as a boy, coming home
one day from the prairie driving my
nag At full speed to get home before a
big rain storm which I saw approach
ing caught me. A neighbor asked me
why | ran my. horse SO. l pointed to
the rain. "Thatsisn't rain," said the
man. "What is it?" l asked. That's
only shower OF grasshoppers," he said
and | nearly wilted, with a mile be-
tween me and home. I started again
and 1t took whip and spurs to get my
horse Through that shower of destruc-
ton.
/ see BY the LEADER that Lincoln
county Is now the home Of peace,
autos and happiness and may
The Lord continue to bless you all.

Mr.. and Mrs. Stubstein enjoy good

figured that their elegant dinner

notes and finally discovered that the
Sunday dinner was intended as a sill
Q wedding event, aud they did not
propose to be denied q surprise on
their part. The invited guests were
made wise to the scheme and they
surprised the silver wedding groom
and bride by presenting them with u
lAne set OF table silverWare.
Mr.. and NJ rs. Stubstein have ten
children, seven daughters and three
sons. and Mrs. Henry Skie Is the only
daughter married.

Of MI. and Mrs. Stubstein and to that
end we viii live in hope.
The day was an %unnsally happy n
for all concerned and none seemed to
enjoy the event better than those
who figured out what the dinner was
really intended for. It's hard to fool
the young people.
We are going to the election Tues
day, you bet, and vote mo" on all

rather like option and some other

row OF white china cups, the latter all
of a size. Behind then Is a pair of
scales, very small and sensitive to the
least touch. Near at HAND flames a
gas heater, with a Geamtng kettle
perched on it.
Such are the tea experts tools. Here
are his methods. with careful hand
and calculating eye he measures into
the scales just enough tea to urn the
baaance-the weight is equal to a sill

TO tearh. And not only vas CONSTANT
application necessary, but alse a
naturally keen. sense of sM1cll and an
analytical mind. The work Is exact
ing; 1t demands astonishing precision
and persistence. Those are some OF the
reasons why only SO tea experts are to
be found in Boston. Within a few
months there will be 81.
All the experts now in the city are
working for private frms. soon Boss
ton Is to ave an official expert who
VIII work for the government. That is
because Boston Is such an inveterate
tea thinker. In the last two years taae
importation Of tea into this port has
doubled. Boston now receives at its
Wharves 100000 pounds annua1lys
not a huge amount when compared
with New York's As, zoe, 900, but yet
quite a respectable shipment.
The corps of experts in Boston al
present are grading tess for their
particular business houses. The United

any Is too poor for admittance. Wbet
Boston obtains her own expert she WAL

quantities may be brought in. The
right is granted to New York-by far
the greatest importer in the United,
States3hicago, Tacoma, San Fran
cisco and st. Paul, So Boston looms
up pretty we'll, especially considering
the treatment she gave this herb at the
memorable tea party. !,
These ports were decided upon by
the United States board of tea experts
and 1t is the same board which now
grants an expert to Boston. All tea
things are in the hands IF his COM
mission. They decide just how low
grade g tea can be and stli enter the
country, and that is not very inferior,
either. They allow tea to be handled
by only a few large ports for the rea-
son that it is easier to control six x
perts than 600. Before the pure food
law-even away back in 1S97-the
United States board OF tea experts,
comprising seven members, was es-
tablished. Tea is thus the only article
OF consumption which has In
the United States a special law to pro-
tect the consumer.
