Every section collapsed at the sen-1 Ov
tlest touch. I 2
t I went to the telephone and or-
dered more, and dlscoveied that tt '
would probably be Christmas before j J
1 1 could set any. 1
However, after I had examined the j
I rest of the Job I concluded it would T
be Christmas before I rot the iurnaee ; X
cleaned, so 1 stoppea worryins
that.. - J
It was necessary, of coarse, to opr.
ate on the furnace in order to re-
move what was the matter with it,
which was chiefly soot. S
Theoretically, all you have to do to
get into the vitals of a furnace is to
unscrew a lot of bolts, which will X
lcosen the Jacket. X
But the bolts wouldn't unscrew. I
They were rusted solid. W
Heing mechanical. I thought of the
cold chisel and after two mornings I
and a palm" full of blisters I sot the j
bolts out. - ' O
As the last one Jingled on the floor
the main body of the furnace gave a I
dismal groan and separated like the X
one-hoss shay, scattering its debris a
in fragments on the floor, while a I
dark lirown, sooty snow sifted over J
them. 9
The soot was put at all events. All 1
that remained now was to get some B
furnace .bolts, reassemble the frag- S
ments and put on the Jacket. a,
Furnace Dolts Short. I
But there appeared to be a shortage O
of furnace bolts arourfd those parts.
I finally got seven that were too
large and eight that were too small .
and a couple that fitted and went to
work with them.
. But getting the furnace parts to
gether was like putting a picture
puzzle together, except that with
picture, puzzle yon have th picture I
to guide you.
I tried it for three day's and then,
at my earnest supplication, the fur
nace man came up and showed me I
where they belonged. That was all
he had time to do and 1 charged
me $9 for doing U.
In two days more I had her pretty
well together, with the usual half
dozen parts left aver. There Were
holes that would let the smoke and
gas out her od there, but I stopped
them up with Boilermakers' putty and
called it a Job.
The next day as I was sitting down
wondering how to build a fire with
out a smoke pipe and trying to figure
out a scheme to shoot the smoke out
of the cellar window, the furnace
man drove op.
He came to tell me he would have
the furnace' pipe sooner than I ex
pectedIn about three. weeks, in fact.
Then he gave the furnace a critical
examination, which ha hadn t done I
hefore.
The result was that he condemned
the furnace absolutely and forever I
and after he proved to me that prac
tically every part was cracked, I
agreed with him that It would, have
to be discarded.
I wish he'd told me before. It would I
wonld have taved my time, my hands,!
my temper and probably my soul.

friHE Elwyn
concert bureau has
I announced six stellar musical at-
tractions for its artist series this
season. Of these, five will introduce
artists who have not been heard in
Portland before.
The course will be opened at the
Heilig theater December 29, when
Arthur Middleton, baritone of the
Metropolitan Opera corrtpany, will ap-
?ear in concert recital. Mr. Middleton
s one of the best-known bariione
bassos of the concert and operatic
stage and is one of. the most-sought-after
of present-day singers.
The second concert will be given by
Paul Althouse. tenor, also of the Met
ropolitan force. Mr. Althouse bears
the distinction of having created many
of the leading tenor roles in the new
operas introduced duringhe past four
seasons at the Metropolitan opera
house. Among these was his much
heralded work in "Shanewis," the In
dian opera composed by John Wake
field Cadman. '
Kathleen Parlow, violinist, the
third artt to be presented, comes to
Portland direct from European tri
umphs. Born on this side of the At
lantic, Miss Parlow has again demon
strated that Europe must look well
to her musical laurels when reckon
ing with artists from the western
hemisphere.
Myrna Sharlow, lyric soprano from
the Chicago Grand Opera company,
is the fourth artist scheduled. Miss
Sharlow is considered one of the most
beautiful women of the operatic stage.
She is a favorite in concert also, and
her first western appearance is being
looked forward to with keen Interest.
Margaret Matzenauer. prima donna
contralto of the Metropolitan com
pany, will be fiftfi on the list, coming
to the Heilig theater April 13. Madame
Matzenauer is already a favorite with
Portland music-lovers and will be
welcomed by a host of friends and ad
mirers. The sixth attraction, which will
bring the series to a close, will be
the Xew York Philharmonic orches
tra, under the baton of Josef Stran
sky. with Arthur Shattuck. pianist, as
soloist. This is the first visit of this
famous orchestra to the Pacific coast,
and its advent is anticipated with
keen interest by lovers of orchestral
music.

BEST WAY TO FIX FURNACE
IS TO HIRE SOMEONE ELSE
Trouble With Coal Aside From Price Is That It Contains All Sorts
of Material Besides Fuel.

BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE.
. NE way to fix a furnace is to
hire somebody to do it. That
the best way, even if you
hire the wrong man.
The other way is to fix it yourself.
That was my way once. It isn't my
way any. more. . - v
In the north and eastern parts of
the country furnaces must be fed
with coal, because the Country has
been deforested and wood costs any
where from $30 to $50 a cord. That
Is more expensive than coal, -even now
when the coal dealer. if -be consents
to sell you any at ail, charges ill
a ton for it.
The trouble w.fo 'coal aside from
Its price, is that it contains all sorts
of material beside fuel, including
soot. coal, tar, analyne dyes, . iodine,
corrosive sublimate and probably
cyanide of potassium though I have
made no chemical test for the latter.
Anyway after a furnace has burned
coal all winter it gets filled "up with
fire-tProof chem'cais that clog the
drafts, insulate the pipes and make
the furnace useless as a heater, al
though it burns merrily away within
Itself and consumes Just as much 919
coal as it ever did.
One fixes a furnace in the autumn.
Just after the first frost announces
that winter Is on the way.
Job Requires Talent.
The Job requires a talented furnace
man a couple of days. It occupies
lour or live- days of the time of an
ordinary Sicilian, who doubles in fur
naces in the winter after gardening
In the summer.

by working Sights and Sundays and
taking his lunch with him to the cel
lar and refusing to go Upstairs to
answer : the front door bell or the
telephone bell. - (
We had neglected to have our fur
nace fixed for three or four years, so
when a spell of zippy weather came
along and the children began to
shiver as they ate their breakfast. It
was suggested that the task be un
dertaken. 1 called up tne furnace man and
made him' a proposition, but he wasn't
interested. The best he could do, be
said, was to put me on the waiting
list, numbering me somewhere around
350. , -
He allowed that If I would be pa
tient and his hands didn't strike on
him again and tie could get the rati
roads to deliver the material he
needed, he might reach my Job arouad
the 'middle of January.
That wouldn't do, so I tried the
gardener. But the gardener was
booked solid for seven - .-eeks ahead,
and seven werks I knew would find
us tn the middle of zero weather.'
There was nothing for It bat to
tackle It myself. I set my business
affairs In order. Informed the office
that 1 wouldn't be down for a couple
of weeks, bought a suit of soot-proof
overalls and went to work.
First Surprise Comes. .
My first surprise came when, on
trying tj take the smoke pipe down.
CONSTANTINOPLE. Nov. 20. Pil
lage by the Turks of the imperial
Russian watering-place of Abbas
Touman in the Caucasus mountains,
is being Investigated, here. A large
quantity of the furnishings and
paintings beiongtng to the luxurious
villas of this little city, where many
of the aristocracy of Russia used to
pass their vacations, has been dis
covered in Constantinople. Some of
these furnishings are in the palace
of Enver Pasha, formerly Turkish
war minister, on the Bosphorus, now
occupied by the French general staff.
The pillage of Abbas Touman Is
one of the untold stories of the rapa
cious Turkish pashas and generals.
Abbas Touman is unknown outside of
Russia. Yet It was one of the little
paradises with which countries lying
near the Black sea are blessed.
Nestling In the mountains of Georgia,
it possessed one of the beautiful and
lengthy driveways for which the
Caucasus is famous. During the hot
summer months, the Imperial Russian
family used to pass a few weeks
among the pines of this rich center
of museums, villas and churches.
Up the beautiful roads from Batum
to Tiflis. came in the spring of 1917,
the Turkish army, following on the
retreat of the Russian army, which
had gone bolshevik. The Turks were
amazed at the riches of Abbas Tou
man. The commandant of the 31st
brigade sealed up all the valuables
he could find. Then came the signing
of the treaty by which Abbas Tou
man was left to Georgia-
No sooner had the Turkish com
mander learned of ttiis treaty than he
e-athered up. before leaving, ail valu
ables and hurried them to Batum.
He notified Essad Pasha at Constan
tinople that this booty should be
offered to the sultan. MeanwTiile, as
his army withdrew, it is charged
that he systematically robbed
churches and convents and sent these
treasures also to Batum. Two other
Turkish commanders are alleged to
have shared in the loot.
Finally the three men sent their
relative shares to Constantinop.e,
when Enver Pasha demanded to have
a look at the three lots. As minister
of war. he took his choice and sent
some of the furniture and pictures to
Kouroutschesme, his marble raced
palace on the Bosphorus, where they
still remain. j

Along the same road there is a
