fishing is more than a hobby
with him, for he has invented a

in snaring trout. but has equal
merit in catching salmon.
AS a result of a desire to sup
port himself by writing, he
Joined the newspaper world for

best experience.
Mr.. Fosters first story. 10000
words in length and sold to

written entirely at night In a
newspaper office. He was doing
rewrite work at the time, and
would write down a page OF

of his own story. twas a long
and laborious job. but after
that first success he sold many
stories to the Atlantic Monthly.
He has written much fiction

FAMOUS OLD SONGS
-Auld Lang Syne

rNcE Robert Burns first wrote
the famous "Auld Lang Syne"
that song has been sung at
more social gatherings and
knitted more intimate friendships
than any other melody in all the
world.
1t has been sung by the sober and
by the intoxicated of all nations; OLD
pledges of good fellowship have been
renewed and new faiths in comrade-
ship cemented. 1t has been the OUT
burst of faith fulness. 1t has been
a pretense of melody from the lips
of those who thought they could, but
could not, sing; and yet through all
of its use the old melody of sweet
ness has run like q golden thread.
Like so many sohgs which have
come to stay and which never grow
pld as the years pass by. this BAN
quet song of the world makes no
claim to literary merit. 1t is simply
q repetition of sentimental lines,
whose lack Of real merit is made up
, from another source.
This old song has gone through
| many changes as the years pass oy.
| For instance, two copies are here
presented from different sources-the
first from Graham's Songs of Scot
land" and the latter from "The House,
hold Book Of Poetry"

Mrs Dunlop, whom he would make
believe that Aud Lang Syne' came

The hand on her shoulder she shook
away. With the same movement she
drew the coverings about her. This.

Redmond: and he missed the majestic
rancor of the gesture.

BUYS NEW FREEZER

The Orofino Creamery company
installed new ten gallon Emery
Thompson ice cream freezer Monday
which is the latest device on the
market for this purpose. A brine
similar to that which is used in the
manufacture Of ice, circulates in a
coil of pipe encircling the cream
container. BY this process the cream
is whipped and its temperature is
reduced to between 20 and 25 de-
grees above zero, when it is then
drained into a regular ten gallon
ice cream can and put in the ice
cream hardening room, where the
freezing process is completed. The
temperature of this room is kept at
zero to 10 degrees below.
By installing the new freezer the
Creamery will save Is tons Of ice
and be enabled to keep on hand a
reserve supply of about 200 gallons
of ice cream during the hot summer
months. 1t is the last word in san
itiation and economy, as there Is nc
ice to pack around the cans while
in the process of making, no ladies
to remove, nor waste of ice. 1t is
understood to be the only freezer
Of its make in the Clearwater valley
