Thomas Bailey Aldrich's Humorous
Rebuke to correspo ndent Whose
Writing Was llIeolblc.

1t takes n clever man to find good
word to say on every occasion. 1t Is
said Of Thomas Bailey Aldrlch that he
once received letter from his friend,
Prof. Edward S. Morse, and found the
handwriting wholly illeglble. Mr.. Aid.
rich was not at n loss for an answer.
In due time there came to Mr.. Morse
the following reply:
MY Dear MorSe-It was very pleas.

to decipher It. don't think | mas

"There Is singular and perpetual

SUMMARY DISMISSAL
OF SOLDIERS OPPOSED

Washington, D. C.-Prcsident Hard
ing informed congress that while he
had signed the army appropriation
bill with its provision for a reduction
of the regular army to 100000 men
by next October 1, it might be neces.
sary to ask for modification of the
measure later to avoid embarrassment
to the secretary Of war.
The executive declared in special
message sent to both the senate and
the house that summary dismissal
from the army OF men who had en-
listed for a longer period than Oc-
tober 1 would seem to involve re-
pudiation of moral obligation by
the government which would have It's
effect upon the morale of the army
and possibly influence enlistments in
the future.
The nature Of the modification
which might be asked for later was
not disclosed, nor did the president
explain how 1t was proposed to meet
the moral obligation to the men and
at the same time carry out the direc-
tons of congress to reduce the force
by some 10000 men in the next three
months.
Secretary Weeks, in discussing the
bill, said that If the war department
succeeded in meeting the limitations
imposed by congress, some 10000
civilian employees of the army, be-
sides the 10000 enlisted men, would
be thrown on the labor market

A STRAWBERRY d" PATCH

Last Saturday we took an af-
ternoon off and roamed about
the island. One Of the places we
visited was the sixty acre straw
berry farm Of b. d. Mukai,
locally known as "The Straw,
berry King" Mr.. Mukai is an
agreeable sort Of chap who
manages his berry industry with
as much system and with as
great ease as a circus tent is
raised, and then taken down af-
ter the show.
He has about a hundred pick
ers at work during the season,
which usually lasts about three
weeks. He IS picking on an
average so barrels of berries
each day. Each barrel will con-
tain 300 lbs of berries and $50
lbs Of cane graduated sugar is
added. These barrels are then
headed up, trucked to the city
and put in cold storage where
the berries are distributed to
different ice cream parlors and
served as crushed fruit" sun
dacs.
Mr.. Mukai will this year pick
upwards of half million lbs. of
berries Oft his patch-and such
berries as they are We know,
because he loaded our Ford with
baskets, pals, crates, and pans
filed with them, until the women
folks declare they dream of
Strawberries at night. This is only
tne of Vashon-Maury patches
and as soon as the strawberry
is gone the logan will occupy
the stage of activity for its due
period Of time.
