SEEK MEN WHO SAW
ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Sucker State Society Will Specially
Honor Those Who Have
Looked on Great Man

Fortunate in having for a native
son one of the great men of the
world, Abraham Lincoln, members of
the Illinois societies the country over
have a tie and a set date for their

state societies. The former Illinois

North Yakima and their yearly ban
quet ever since organization have
been successful and well attended.

speakers in the society, men and
women with reputation for wit and
for scholarship, who will be drawn
upon for speeches and toasts. While
the fact that it is a Lincoln day OBJ
servance will be emphasized. there
will be time to talk, formally or in
formally, of the virtues and achieve
ments of the old home state, provid-
ing nothing in the remarks be con-
strued as to disparage the new home

ALL NEWSPAPER BOYS
LIKE COLONEL MOREN:
SEATTLE STAR BOOST

With his face wearing that genial
Kentucky smile that won't rub out
and his head surrounded with falling
red apples, the likeness Of Represent
tative Walker Moren appears on the
front page of the Seattle STAR under
the caption of who's Who in Olym-
pit" The Star says:
walker Moren. representative from
North Yakima, is a serious looking
man. He is the author of the longest
and one Of the most important bills
before the egislature-12,000 words
on a public utilities commission, after
the lines of the Hughes New York
law. Moren was also one of the at
torneys in the famous Caleb Powers
case back in Kentucky years ago.
But life isn't all serious with
Walker Moren. He showed that last
week when he appeared in the legis-
lature with big box of the famous
Yakima apples. which he dealt out
to everybody. A smile went with
each apple"

Racetrack Follower Caught Gives
Unique Account of Beating Rail-
road-Traveled in Pullman
Left Windy City Without Cent
and Arrived in Fast Time on
Best Trains

SPOKANE, Feb. From Chicago
to Spokane with stolen hat checks as
transportation is the way James
Doyle, of Seattle a follower of the
race tracks, stalled the rattlers on
cushions, as he termed it, making the
trip in four days without any more
serious difficulty than a severe lee
ture from u railroad detective here
Yesterday afternoon. The detective,
or a dick" according to his Ian
guage, released him when he told
him he worked the conductors.
Doyle followed the races in New
Orleans all winter only to arrive in
Chicago without a cent and an earn
est desire to reach Seattle, where
he has relatives.
His story, told with all the novel
terms of the wayfarer, is as follows:
II rode from Chicago to Spokane
without funds and riding the entire
distance on the cushions
II left Chicago on the Pioneer Linn
tied at S.25 Tuesday evening without
money enough to buy even a short
board (meaning a ticket to the first
stop. AS the conductor started to
take tickets in the smoker l stayed
in the day coach until he was almost
to me, then l put my cap in my
pocket and started to pass him. He
stopped me and asked for my 'ducat.'
l told him my mother had it in the
next coach. He let me pass. There
was a lot Of passengers and by the
time he got into the next coach he
forgot all about my mother.
T lis Joke; Gets Ticket.
80 whipped out into the smok-
err and picked my mark: He was a
Swede who was going to st. Paul.
He was very accommodating and told
me his destination and how much his
fare was. My next move was to get
his hat check. I told him the story
about the chicken crossing the road
and during the laugh I slapped him
on the back and knocked his hat
off. I begged his pardon, picked his
hat up and placed it back on his
head. 1t was minus the hat check.
Now everything was soft for l
simply had to lie down and go to
sleep. My friend the conductor new
err got wise I landed in st. Poul
the next morning and waited until
night and then grabbed another fast
one. This time the conductor would
not let me pass him. He told me to
stay with my mother. I went back
into the chair car and told some
travelling men I was trying to get to
the coast and asked them If they
would help me.

HIGH MEAT PRICES AND FILTHY CONDITIONS
IN SLAUGHTER HOUSES DROVE PARIS, TEXAS,
TOMUN|C|PAL ABAT TO|R-|TS MAKING MONEY

bacon are cheaper in Paris than in
the rival city of Sherman, sixty
miles distant, and that much nearer
to the nearest big packing house.
Paris had five slaughter houses.
The buildings were cheap shacks,
never cleaned. from which disa-
greeable odor constantly filtered. The
butchers were dirty, unkempt negroes
whose primitive ideas of sanitation
were not improved by their expert
ence in this business. Each of these
slaughter houses showed hygienic
horrors Upton Sinclair knew nothing
of when he wrote 1.-The Jungle"
Flies were allowed to swarm in the
open doors during the summer time
and feast upon the freshly slaughter
ed meat. Hogs, waiting in the pen,
Tapped up the blood of their kind
which had preceded them to the
block. The water which was used
to wash down the cows or hogs
came from a pool in the hog lot or
from a surface well near by. OFF,
Gals of Paris in describing these
conditions now say, with reason, that
they believe the same fragrant con-
ditions exist today in hundreds of
the smaller cities.
Deaf Ears to Reform.
More than two years ago Mayor
McCuistion began to call attention to
the bad conditions of the slaughter
houses. Like most reformers, he
preached at first to an Indifferent au-
dience.
The little city of Paris paid scant
heed to his warnings and apparently
was satisfied with the old fashioned
way Of getting it's meat. The butch-
ers continued to haul cows, hogs and
calves to the slaughter houses in the
same dirty wagons and the same ne
groes continued to kill
Deciding finally that he could not
awaken public sentiment, Mayor Nc
QUESTION called the butchers together
and demanded a joint slaughter
house, operated under the direction
of a competent inspector. Meeting
after meeting was held, but petty
jealousies always stood in the way of
concerted action. All the time, how
ever. the mayor was working out one
idea after another. In this, he was
ably assisted by one OF the leading
meat market proprietors, Hiram
Hirks, and the two eventually evo'v-
ed the abattoir.
UP to this point, the meat consum-
ers of Paris had taken little interest
in the warnings of the mayor. The
business men and the housewives,
knowing nothing Of the dirty meth
DDS through which the steaks reach
ed them, could see no reason for a
change. Established custom is hari
to change. whether 1t be In the
matter of meats or morals.
| A Bond Issue.
Just as soon, however. as the city
council called an election on a &c.
900 bond issue to erect an abaittoir,
Paris people became Interested. The
name itself sounded strange and sent
half of the town to the dictionary or
TO his neighbor for the meaning. The
purpose was still more novel ana
soon the town was engrussed with
the proposed bond issue as 1t had
been with the prohibition election

Trust on the Run

You know how the prices of meat
have jumped around during the past
year. Time was when one could. for
fifteen cents. secure a piece of ham
and an egg. cooked by the most ex-
pert Fly" cooks. The nthe price
jumped to twenty .snts and the i'm
petus carried it up until a hungry
gentleman could not satisfy his APP
petite with these delicacies for less
than twenty-five cents. In the mean
while, the same violent waves were
disturbing the MINUS in the big res
taurants upstairs. Planked steaks
rose in price so violently that only
the idle and carelss rich continued
to order it without looking first at
the latest quotations. Oftentines
during the year Mother Hubbard was
not so much disturbed by the fear
that she would find no bone in her
cupboard as by apprehension over
the bill of the butcher from whom
she bought the bones
In the reneral storm over meat
prices, it is pleasant to find one port
where all is peaceful and house,
keepers throw out the bones to the
family dog and wash the breakfast
dishes without a dread of the NOR

MAN EMOTIONAL.
ANIMAL, NOT
THE WOMAN
lBy Dorothy Dix

For a long time, one OF the chief
reasons urged against giving women
the right to vote was that women were
so emotional they could not be safely
trusted with the ballot.
Now comes along a great nerve
specialist who declares men are far
more emotional than women, and that
it has taken centuries of training and
hard fighting to give them the power
to suppress their emotions, and to re-
sist the desire of a good cry, or go
into Mysteries.
Of course men are more emotional
than women, though they display their
feelings" in a different way Men
that is Anglo-SaXon men, don't burst
into tears, when they get wrought up:
but neither do women, always, unless
there is something to be gained by it.
Weeping is not a reliable barometer of
woman s. emotions. 1t is the meas
ure of her ability to work people and
set what she wants.
| Generally speaking, crying is becom-
, ing a domestic art. A wife weeps to
get a new dress. A business woman
doesn't weep because she'll get fired if
she does, and so the water-line, in
emotion between the two sexes, is
| gradually dryyi,7o ~,
Barring tears, as the indication of
hysteria, in every other matter of
Temperament man is far more emo
tional than woman, as even the most
cursory observation will show.
Take the Matter of Swearing.
Take, as a very common example
the matter of swearing. Suppose in a
crowd, somebody steps on a mans
foot. Isn't the air Immediately rent
with blue blazes? Doesn't the man
sputter, and fume, and emit forked
lightning, ind call upon all of his gods
to consign the malefactor to places
where he won't need to wear an over
coat even in winter.
But suppose an even worse accident
happens to a woman, and some great
numbering lout treads upon her fine
new frock, and tears it past all mend
ing, what does the lady do? Does she
rip out few sizzling oaths and tell
the man what she thinks of him, and
what she hopes will be his Ultimate
doom?
| Not at all she smiles sweetIy and
serenely in his eyes, and says that it
doesn't matter. She may be thinking
! things that begin with a big D., but
she doesn't utter them, and this is a
triumph of self-control that no man
could exhibit under the circumstances.
