lOr aC nlgnJ aIIef returning from work in
the city. How much he will make on the
chickens is more or less problematical, but
| feel absolutely certain he will lose nothing
cholera, he will realize as much as he will
from his daily labors, as hogs are hogs
just now. He can sell six weeks OLE
pig for $40 and a six months old hog for
nearly $40. He has more than twenty pigs
and so you can see what he practically has
IN his hands. When you see person Won
cannot always tell what's under the hat.
There is small church just beyond Ken
nydale and services were being held therein
last Sunday and being acquainted with the
most Of those who worship therein, I hung
about in the warm sun shine until after the
services and the first person I met was
Johnny Mathews, whom I had known for
many years. In Seattle Johnny is a Jack
OF all trades and [ was rather surprised to
learn that he was the pastor Of this church.
The OLD adage you may be entertaining an
angel unaWares" was quite applicable in
this case as [ had from time to time done
business with Mathews and little suspected
that he was preacher and held a regular
MISREPRESENTATION case of one half of the
world not knowing what the other half is
doing. Get out and stir around and the
wisest ones will learn something new.
"A stranger in country community in
quired OF an Irishman the direction to a
certain home. "Take that road and go
down through the timber half mile, then
the road will fork and you take the left
hand fork; go another half mile, when that
road will fork and you take the center fork;
then go one mile until you reach a heavy
underground where the road stops' The
Irishman had no further description for the
man and in despair he exclaimed, "and
then which way do you go?'' "In faith
and be jasus if you are not lost you are
dam close to it." I inquired the way to
reach the home Of S. S. Mounday and after
receiving the desired information I set out
to find it from the description 1 had received
and after getting lost half dozen or more
times, finally reached my destination, and
was Immediately convinced that 1 was fully
repaid for all my worries. In the deep re-
cesses Of valley the Mounday home is
located and it's true case of living at
home and boarding at the same place. A
comfortable home sits on an acre tract of
land that's so rich that potatoes, turnips
and beets grow so large that you have to
split them open to get them into the bin.
In other words, the Mounday family raises
more fruit and vegetables on that plot of
ground than the family consume and
though in Seattle they know nothing Of
want But few colored families would have
gotten home so far from the thoroughfare
as did the Mondays and, believe me, but
few colored families in Seattle live as indie
pendent as do the Mondays. It's worth a
whole lot to get acquainted
Last Monday evening John F. Cragwell,
who has seen Seattle grow from thirty thou
sand to four hundred thousand, invited
few of his friends, who like himself, had
watched her grow, to a stag dinner at
which the delicacies of the season were
served In the midst of the festivities it
was announced that the occasion was the
celebration of Mr.. Gragwell's ffty-eighth
birthday, which made it doubly enjoyable.
When the birthday cake was brought in as
surprise to Mr.. Cragwell his little grand
