NONE EVER WtllTER

DOUGLAS, Nov 2.-It was Shakes peare who used the expression 'I thought her as chaste as unsunn'd snow"
 Speaking of "unsunn'd snow" a finer, winter, purer article than that which fell here this morning never appealed to old Pegasus. It began falling about o'clock and by noon Then winters time-bleached locks did hoary show" and four inches of the beautiful" covered that which yesterday was verdure. First it came from the north, then it veered around and came from the east but finally settled down to shooting it in from the southwest where all brands of weather in this particular portion of the country comes from The hearts of the children rejoiced, fuel dealers mugs were wreathed in smiles and even dogs romped merrily; but the hearts of the family meal tickets, the unhonored and unsung fathers who occupy the position of family janitor, became as heavy and sod den as domestic science pastry.

EXTRA WORK DAY SUCCESS

DOUGLAS, Nov. 1. - The, extra work day for Red Cross work, the first of which was held yesterday, was great success as a number of ladies were present who had not previously attended any of the work day sessions owing to the fact that they had been unable to attend on Fridays Henceforth both Wednes- days and Fridays will be set aside for work days in behalf of the Red Cross-not that it is imperative for the workers to be present both days, but that some can come on Wednesday who are not able to- attend on Friday, while the latter day suits others better than Wed nesday By having two work days each week it is believed, as was exemplified yesterday, that better results will be obtained. A good attendance is desired for tomorrow and attention is also called to the exchange sale which will take place Saturday afternoon at the Palace of Sweets.

DEMAND FOR WHALE
 MEAT ABOVE SUPPLY

ABERDEEN, Wn., Oct. 31.-The building of another whaling station on the Pacific Coast, probably in southern California, is the plan of the American Pacific Whaling company, which is fitting out the whaling steamer Aberdeen for a trip of inspection as to possible To- cation.
 The demand for whale meat. which is now extending from the coast to New York, is the cause of the new movement.
 During the last year a cold stor- age plant has been built at-Bay City to take care of the whale meat, but the demand exceeds the supply. It is also understood that company which started station at Trinidad, Cal, some years ago is planning to go on with the enterprise.
 In addition to whale meat, an un- usually fine leather, suitable for gloves and shoes, has been made from the skin of the intestines and stomach of the whale.
 As soon as the war is over, this part of the whale industry is also to be tried out.
