1aekeEays Satire. .,:t. |,
 Thacberay created qtate erroneqqs impressions of himself by often indu'S, ing in irony in the presence of people who were. in<spqble of understanding it. One curious distance. which he gave was, this: Thackeray had; been dining at the Garrick and was talking in the smoking room after dinner with vari- ons club acQuaintanees One of them happening to have left bis cigar case at home, Thaekeray, though disliking the man, who was notorious tuft huntef, good natnredly offered him one of his cigars. The man accepted the cigar, but, not finding it to bis liking. had the bad taste. to say to. Thackeray, -I say, Thackeray, you won't mind my saying don't think much of this :ci- gar?" Thackeray, no doubt irritated at the mans ungraciousness and bearing in mind his tuft hunting predilections. quietly responded, You ought to, my good fellow, for it was given me by a lord" Instead. however, of detecting the irony, the dolt. immediately at tributed the remark to snobbishness on Thackeray's part and to the end of his days went about declaring that Thackeray had boasted that he had been given q cigar by lord.

What a Mortgage Does

The mortgage calls for just as many dollars when grain is cheap
 as when grain is dear. It is not
 drowned by the heavy rains. It never
 winter kills. Late springs and early frosts never trouble it. It grows
 nights, Sundays. rainy days and even
 holidays. Potato bugs do not disturb it. It brings sure crop every year
 and sometimes twice year. It pro- duces cash every time. It does not have to wait for the market to ad-
 vance. It is not subject to specula
 ton by the bulls and bears on the and frets and chafes. It is burden that the farmer cannot shake off. It is, with him morning, noon and at night. It eats with him at the table. It rides upon his shoulders during the day. It consumes his grain crop and devours his cattle. It selects the It lives upon the fruit of the season. It stalks into his dairy, where his
 busy housewife tolls day after day
 and month after month, and takes the incest cheese and choicest but ter. It shares the children's bread and
 robs them of their clothes. It stoops the tailor's back with its remOrse- less burden of care. It hardens his
 hands, benumbs his intellect, pre-
 maturely whitens his locks and often
 times sends him and his aged wife
 over the hills to the poor house. It
 is the memorable and exacting task
 makeh. It's whip is as merciless and cruel as the lash of the slave driver.

Match Sticks.

Certain kinds of matches are shaved with the grain from sawed blocks. Others are cut both ways by saws. In still further varieties the blocks are boiled to make them cut easily. By some machines boiled or steamed log is revolved on its own axis, and a shaving the thickness of match Is cut round and round. This shaving is at the same time cut into lengths and split into match sticks. It may be said that there is hardly limit to the vari- cites of methods employed. Round matches are made by forcing them through dies.-Harper's.

MIKON, MECCA FOR ...
 TOURIsT IHRONes

HS~ASANSA Preparing for a season that gives raomise of being by. far taae. best in
 neent years as a result of heavy tgurist travel through Seattle, the White Pass & Yukon system is over
 hauling its Yukon River Beet. Book ings to date show that the Yukon
 vessels this year will carry reoorE breaking number of tourists, pleasure seekers from all over the United
 States having already engaged pas sage in large numbers.
 The White Pass & Yukca17s fleet operates the entire length of the great Yukon valley. from Whitehorse to St. Michael, including the Panama
 River and Fairbanks.
 Jdhn l.. Burnside, general agent of the White Pass & Yukon and allied corporations, has announced in Seat tie that the Yukon river service will
 be inaugurated the middle of May by a steamer sailing from lower Le-
 Barge. The first river boat from Whitehorse will sail June 1.
 An unprecedented rush for tourist
 bookings for the Yukon river vessels lis reported by Burnside. Last year the White Pass X Yukon made it's first big bid for pleasure-seeking traf- fic, featuring midnight sum- ex- cursion to old Fort Yukon. The pleasure seekers spent June 21, the longest day of the year, at Fort Yu- kon. watching the sun complete it's 24-hour circuit without disappearing below the horizon. AS if to help out the cause, nature staged freak com nlination, adding galaxy of sundogs and an inverted rainbow.
 Wealthy eastern tourists who made the trip have been talking about it ever since. with the result that the company has had to provide for two big excusion parties this year An unprecedented rush in early bookings has made this necessary.
 The first crowd of pleasure seekers will leave Seattle June 4 on the Pa |cific Coast Steamship Company's liner City of Seattle. The second party will leave the following day on the Alaska Steamship Company's liner, Mariposa.
 Advance bookings for the grand tour of the North are also being re- ceived in an unprecedented rush by the White Pass & Yukon. The grand tours were inaugurated last year and drew largs crowds of New Workers, Bostonians and other east ern, southern and Middle West pleas ure seekers to Seattle and Alaska. The company has arranged for two grand tours this season. the first big crowd of tourists leaving here June IA, and the second July 2.
 The grand tour takes the pleasure seekers from Seattle to Skagway. to Whitehorse, to the klondike, to Fair banks and Tanana, to St. Michael, to Nome and Boring Sea, and thence to Seattle by Unimak Pass via Kodiak, Anchorage, Seward, Columbia Gla- cier, Valdez and Cordova. The tour requires forty days.

il must be remembered that this firm

whether it would not be better for the

ANoTHER ApnlrIoN
Started at the Connecticut company's
 Mills Plant.

Ground has been broken at the Con- nectieut mills for still another addi- tfon to this rapidly growing plant. 4 big addition is now beirsg completed and the latest one is to be south of that and between the northerly and southerly mill which are expected to be built into one continuous plant within a very shors time.
 The Connecticut Mills company has grown rapidly since it was establish ed here about a half decade ago and it is said has not anywhere reached it's limitations yet, which is very good news to Danielson people. Company officials continue to lay stress on the need of more dwellings in Danielson. Houses are absolutely essential. There is a lively building boom on now in Danielson. but the demand for new homes is four times the supply, so the relief sought is not in sight Around the mills at Industrial place there is much building activity and more houses are planned for, but a large number of new cottages, in any sec tion of the borough can be rented fm- mediately they are finished The Building and Loan association is an- xious to further the boom that Dan- ielson may enjoy it's opportunity to become a much larger place.
