In Boston harbor; Jack learned Of
the evacuation OF Philadelphia BY the
British and vas transferred to a
Yankee ship putting out to sea on it's
way to that city. There he found the
romantic Arnold, crippled BY his
wounds, living IN the fine mansion
erected By William Penn. He had
married a young daughter OF n OF
the rich Tory families, for his second
wife, and was In command Of the city.

her hand not too f~ervently, I would

HOoUTAM. Aug. 13.--The Hoauiam
Trades and Labor Council win meet
at the /. o. 0. F. haII here Monday
night, August II, c. E. Brown, sec
rotary, announced today. The coun-
Gil has been inactive during the sum-
mer months, Mr.. Brown said, but
starting Monday night, it win begin
a season Of intense activity.
"A circular letter viii be sent out
to every union affiliated with the
council" Mr.. Brown said, urging that
the regularly appointed delegates be
present Monday night and every meet
ing thereafter. The council has a
number of important matters that
have occurred during the summer to
consider, and these must be settled
soon.D
Mr.. Brown declared that there has
been tendency on the part of the
delegates to miss an occasional meet
ing. He says this tendency is unwise,
as matters Of Importance are brought
up at every meeting, and the attitude
and vote of every delegate is required.
Included among the business mat
ters to be considered Monday night
will be the annual Labor Day celebra-
ton which viii be held in connection
with the Grays Harbor County fair
this year, Mr.. Brown said.

PRISON LABORFORpROFIT


Continued from Page Onels
the Statutes of Wyoming. It. says:
"The person or persons in charge Of
any penitentiary, or reformatory, or
jail, or other prison in the state of
Wyoming wherein safe convicts are
confined, shall not, nor shall any
other authority whatever make any
contracts for the employment of any
state convicts at q fixed price per
diem, or by what is known as the
piece price plan, or in any other
manner whereby the labor of the con-
victs is let or controlled by any1 out
side person" It would seem that no
law could be more clear cut and def
mite than this, yet the ''FixersH found
some way to evade it, and the Reli-
ance Mfg. Co. rum a prison sweat
shop in the state penitentiary, and the
law, as well as the wishes Of the ma
jority of the citizens of the state are
violated.

Likes and Dislikss for
Various Kinds Of Food


Many races. many foods. many fads.
The luxury Of one people is the bane
Of another. An attempt is being made
to Introduce snails AZ an article Of food
In certain London restaurants. The
French, Of course, regard snails as a
delicacy, while Britishers almost shud-
der at the thought Of eating them Yet
English folks eat mussels, whelks and
wrinkles, which In some countries are
regarded as being unfit for human con.
sumption. In England the eel Is rel
ished by many people, but in Scotland
1t Is detested by nearly everybody.
Rabbits are looked upon as vermin in
some parts of America and Australia
and are seldom served at table. In
Britain rabbit pie Is favorite dish.
Swede turnips are often eaten In Scot
land and Canada with other vegeta-
bles, whereas In some parts Of England
they are cordially disliked and given
only to cattle. Turnip-tops in Scotland,
again. are not considered worth cook
ing. But in Covent Garden they sell
by the ton.-London Mail.

Horses Repay Kindness

Il is said the Arabs were the first to
appreciate d horses intelligence and
to treat him accordingly. They kept
the history Of their horses written on
tablets of ivory and traced their parent
uge back to the time Of the pharaohs.
They were extremely thoughtful of the
comfort Of the horse and it was even
said they took better care Of their
horses than they did of their families.
Constant companionship made the Ara
bian' horse quick to. understand the
meaning of words, and kindness made
them fearless, brave and ohedient. The
intelligence of the horse varies just as
II does In other animals, or even peo-
pie, and Is developed or retarded ac-,
cording to mans treatment of him,
says bulletin Of the American Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to AMI
mails.

Growth of Jeuyfsh

The manner In which jellyfish pro-
duces its children is really wonder
full.
In most cases the beginning Is, an
egg, which. lying on the bottom, pro-
duces beautiful trce-like growth. The
tree" fastens itself to the bottom and
brings forth buds which, when ripe,
drop on and develop into jellyfish. The
latter, in turn, lay eggs and the process
Is repeated, as told in London Tit-Bits.
Most Of the very large species have
a different way Of reproducing them
selves The egg is set free in the water
md develops into pear-shaped larvae,
Which for while swims about rapidly,
icing provided with hair-like append
ages that serve the purpose of ears.
Then the larvae settles down, anchors
itself to the bottom, increases in size
rapidly and finally splits up into thin,
fiat discs which swim off and grow up
into large jellyflshes

Heat Kills Germs

Radiant Cor visible) heat was en-
phasized by Prof. Leonard Hill-at q
recent meeting Of the London Zoologi-
cal society-as most useful in helping
Gagged animals to fight against infec-
ton" from tuberculosis. Hot-water
pipes, he pointed out, though an eco
nomical way of raising temperature in
the animal houses, do not provide all
the benefits of radiant heat such as we
know best In the form of sunlight and,
in another form, in the domestic coal
fire. In fact, central heating excel
lent in Its place-is not healthy heat
ing, as the prevalence Of tuberculosis
in .steam-heating countries such as
Sweden, Russia and the United States
goes far to prove.

Marvellous Natural Bridge

The Rainbow natural bridge is To-
Gated within the Navajo Indian reser-
walton near the southern boundary Of
Utah. and spans canyon and small
stream which drains the northwest
ern slope Of the Navajo mountains.
This bridge Is unique In that It 10 not
only a symmetrical arch below but
presents also a curved surface above,
thus roughly suggesting rainbow.
Its height above the surface OF the
water Is 800 feet, and Its span Ia 276
feet. The bridge and Its nelghboring
canyon walls are gorgeously clothed
In notified red and yellow. The In
dian story concerning its origin Is that
a rainbow was turned to stone. thus
permitting certain hero gods to es-
cape flood waters in the canyon. De-
vout Indians will not pass under this
bridge without saying their prayers.
The Indian name was Nagee-lid Nom
ne-zoshi-"The rainbow turned to
stone."

Almonds. Queer Habita

The almond tree has peculiar whims.
II seems to prefer California as its
habitat. as 9S per cent OF the almonds
grown In America are produced in that
state, and In a rather restricted terri
tory at that. The bulk Of the crop is
grown around Banning, says Nature
Magazine. 1t seems to require the
spots where extremes Of cold and heat
are present In their respective seasons,
and photographs have been taken Of an
orchard with snow on the ground on
the first Of February, and again with
the trees in full bloom by the Goth Of
the month. The same variety will not
fertiliEe one another. Growers must
plant alternating rows of hardshells
and papershells in order to insure a
harvest.
