THE EVENING STORY

back up the mountain, started for
home.
Early the next morning Sam and
Cora went back to Tummlys cabin
Cora had left the children with a
woman who lived on an adjoining farm.
AS they approached the cabin their at
tention was attracted to a paper which
had been carefully tackled to the outside
of the door On 1t was scrubbed:
I've buried Martha on the knoll be-
hind the cabin. She loved to sit there
and look down into the valley. I've
gone where / can't be found. I'm leav-
ing the kids with you. You are kind

mound of fresh-turned earth on
the knoll back of the cabin entirely
covered with wild flowers with the dew
still sparkling on them gave mute testi-
mOny that the contents OF the note
were true
Poor devil" Sam said, brushing his
hand across his eyes. He came I'D
into the mountains to hide-he said
Martha understood She was sacri-
tced"--then turning to Cora he said
pleadingly, I'm up against the same
roposition--either starve out or quit.
I'm going to quit"
That's the right idea Sam" Cora
said, putting her arm about his Shout
ders. You'll make good back home.
What do you care if you do have to
begin over? Lots of men do that and
succeed. I'll help you. And we'll give
the kids good start in life see If we
dont-Sam-my dear"

October 90, 1S64.-Attempts at block
ade running across the lower Potomac
River have apparently increased lately.
Word was received alb the navy yard
that three captured blockade runners
arrived today off Alexandria, sent up
by the Potomac fiotilla, and we're taken
in charge by the guardship Hugo.
For several months past there has
been little blockade running from the
Maryland 80 the Virginia shore OF the
Potomac. Reports received here today.

Some time ago, to more effectually
break up this trade. carried on by
persons in lower Maryland, a larce
number of boats were destroyed. but IL
now seems that they have been replaced
TO considerable extent.
The u. S. S. Yankee alone has cap
tured more than 80 boats found on the
Virginia shore in the last three weeks.
1t seems certain that these boats have
all been used in the smuggling trade
Recently there have been several block
AIDE runners aptured-three by the
Juniper and one by the Rescue These
are the boats brought up to Alexandria
today.
The Union flotilla, under Capt. Parker,
is now in fine trim. according to in

an end to all traffic of this sort across
the Potomac River, and also by way of

Maj. Gen. Sheridan, commanding the
Union forces in the Valley of Virginia,
wired Gen. Grant at City Point Va.
and the message was relayed by Grant
to the War Department here. that we
have again been favored by a great
victory-a victory won from disaster
by the gallantry of our officers and
men"
This dispatch was sent from Cedar
Greek, Va. at 1870 am today. He
says the battle began with Union at
tack at O'Clock yesterday afternoon
and was not completely ended until this
morning, when the Union cavalry made
a dash to Fishers HILL only to find it
deserted by all the Confederates except
a rear guard. At least 1000 Confed-
crate prisoners were taken and 40
pieces of artillery in yesterdays action,
according to Sheridan.

HAVE ANT1MAcAssARs COLOR OF
UPHOLSTERY

AntimacaSsars have become such a

amiss. II was diSregarded of this
essential that killed the fashion half a
century ago when it had previous re-
vival. The antimacaSsarS were COM
monty known as tides" and it was
when any bit of needlework became
sufficient that the style petered out.
AS there is genuine ornamental value
in fine antimacassars, it would be
pity to have the dainty articles diSap-
pear for another prolonged period.
An antimacaSSar that is not choice,
either in textile or Stitchery, is not
ornamental 1t is the value of the arti-
Gle as a decoration that must be re-
membered even though the article orig
mated for protective reasons.
1t is thought probable that the word
''antimacassar" was given because it
served as protection from the hair
dressing that bore the name "macassar
oil" and which was in high favor at the
time. Well groomed men did not neg
lect to use the excellent oil. 1t was
for the homemaker to see that it did
not harm her fine upholstery. without
the implication that such was the OBJ
ject of the bits of lace, the rare fabric,
the choice needlework that were requi
Sitioned. 1t was a subtle compliment.

often now call them. must be exquisite
to accord with the style. Some of the
old antimacaSSarS are of beautiful lace,

1t was when the practical side was
uppermost, and homemakerS sought to
keep their chairs neat and clean

quality or not. that the word tidy"

sars. The ornamental side was lost in
the consuming idea of protection.
Common crash with a design entirely
inappropriate and embroidered in Tur-
key red cotton was considered ade-
Quate! Crochet in the cheapest
mediums. and in colors that clashed
with every other hue in a room was
considered appropriate if the size and
shape were correct. Any child who
could embroider or crochet could con-
tribute her work and find it accept

day to guard against any such travesty.

chair backs" by whatever term we
choose to call them. 1t cannot be said
that the last name is adequate, for it
conveys the idea of the back of a chair,
nothing more. But Technology changes
as we'll as styles and today this is as
frequently used as either Of the other
two names.
There is nothing handsomer for an
antimacasSar than real lace. 1t can
be laundered. 1t protects upholstery
fabrics, without completely concealing
the textile which can be glimpsed
through the mesh. 1t is decidedly
decorative. A type of antimacassar
that is in high favor is of a high grade
of theatrical gauze in the color of the
upholstery on which it is to be used.

decoration is either in drawn work, or
Stitchery in a medium of the selfsame
tone. TaSSels may be suspended from
the lower corners. and if the chair back
is shaped, the tassels may also suspend
from ends of points or in the arcs of
curves. Textiles, If used, must be very
handsome and artistic in color har-
monies. but 1t is the filmy lace and the
fine mesh of nets that are most desir-
able These are beautiful and have the
added value of being washable.

''|RON CH|NK' HEAD ON ANNUAL TOUR IF
 INSPECTION MACHINES

On his annual tour of the coastal
 regions of Alaska, B. R. Brierly, 1 sales manager of the Seattle Cannery
 Machine Co.,, manufacturers of the famous Iron Chink'' arrived in the city Saturday from the South, en-
 route to Cook Inlet and Kodiak Is- land. Mr. Brierly is accompanied by L. c. Mckee, a post graduate of the University of Washington, who is spending his vacation making the rounds with MT. Brierly.
 Many new machines, the Model c type, are being placed in use this season, MT. Brierly reports, about 12, aside from those sold previously which are about halfdozen more. The salient feature of Model G "Iron Chink" is the fish and labor saving and increase in capacity. They are the very latest machine on the mar ket. Eight have also been sold this year to Russian canneries and six to Japanese plants.
 New Model c machines have been sold this year to the New England cannery at Cordova, Sheppard Pack ing company of Cordova, two to the Orca plant near Cordova which will operate this year after being closed for period of about 10 years; one to the Franklin Packing Co.,, at SaWmilll Bay, the San Juan cannery at Saw mill Bay, the Emil Packing Co., at Valdez, the All -Year-Round CanneryI at Seldova, the Alitak Packing Co.,, l at Snug Harbor, the Northwestern Cannery at Kenai, another one in one other plant at Kenai and also one at a cannery near seldovia.
 This years sales includes new Model G machines for Shearwater Bay, the Kodiak Fisheries; the Trin- ity Packing Co.,, at Three Saints Bay, the Kadiak Fish and Packing Co.,, at Uganik, and two for the Alaska Pack CTS at Larson Bay.
 Mr. Brierly does not contemplate going. to Bristol Bay this season for he has been seryicing the canneries in that district annually for years past. Instead he and MT. Mckee will devote their time now to Cook Inlet and Kodiak Island points as we'll as the areas South from Alaska to Puget Sound and including British Columbia.
