GOSPEL OP GOOD CHEEK.
Say, you knocker? Does it do
yourself or anybody else any good to
whine about hard times, real or pros
pective? And 'would it-require less
effort or be a less agreeable task to
help the fellows who are trying to
improve conditions, to build up in
stead of tear down? Good times and
bad are the result largely of the tem
perament of the people who seem
to take spells of being grouchy and
despondent for no apparent reason.
It is to offset these periods that the
philosophers of good cheer and good
times form their "booster" clubs and
"don't worry" societies and you
ought to be Initiated into both before
you become a chronic malcontent.
THE LEATHER INDUSTRY
AND THE FOREST
No other 'nation produces half as
much tanned, curried, and finished
leather as the United States, which
yields over one-fourth of the world's
supply. Six hundred and seventeen
tanneries contribute to this output.
The raw material Includes a hundred
and eight million hides and skins,
including a largo number from Ar
gentina. To tan this immense quan
tity of leather, valued at over 250
million dollars, last year required
over a million and a quarter cords of
tanbark, worth nearly $13,000,000
and more than six hundred and fifty
thousand barrels of tanning extract,
worth $8,700,000.
Over two-thirds of tho tanbark
consumed comes from hemlock, and
over one-fourth from oak; chestnut
and other woods contribute the re
mainder. More extract Is secured
from chestnut, however, than from
all other domestic woods combined.
A small quantity of extract of a little
ovora thousand barrels comes from
over a thousand barrels comes from
Although the tanning industry is
widely distributed over tho United
States, tho greater part of it Is car
ried on In tho States of Pennsylvania,
Now York, Michigan and Wisconsin,
which use moro than two-thirds of
the tanning materials consumed.
Pennsylvania alone consumes over
nine hundred million pounds of bark
and extract worth $8,000,000, or 37
per cent of the total value.
Since 1900 tho quantity of tanbark
used has fallen off 15 per cent, al
though its value has Increased. Dur
ing this period tho consumption of
oxtract Increased from C7.000 to
C60.000 barrels a year, of which
nearly 90,000 barrels were Imported.
Relatively small quantities of hem
lock bark were Imported from Can
ada, and of mangrove bark from tho
West Indies and Africa. In weight,
four times as much quebracho was
imported In bark as in oxtract form,
but the value of tho two forms was
about tho same.
Bark brought the lowest prlco in
New Hampshire, and tho highest in
Oregon, with an nvorago of $9.30 por
cord. More than In mark tho prlco
of extract varied widely according to
tho material from which it was ma
nufactured. Tho extract of quebra
cho, a treo of Mexico, Central Ameri
ca, South America and tho West In
dies, from which soven-elghths of all
imported tanning mntorlals nro so
cured, had an average prlco of $18
por barrol; nnd hemlock brought
$12.00 per barrel; oak $9.90 por
barrol, and chestnut $9.12 por barrel.

A TOAST TO THE "ALSO RANS.'
Ye have drunk, O my friends, to tho
victors,
Ye have toasted the valiant and
strong;
To the great of earth ye have drunk
In your mirth,
To the wise ye have lifted your
song,
It is well they are worthy, my
brothers,
As aught that the flrmanent spans,
Dut I pledge you a health to the
others
A' health to the-"also-rans."
To the men who went down In the
struggle,
To the runners who finished un
placed, To the weak and the young, the un
known, the unsung.
The depraved, the opressed, the
disgraced,
Ye are blooded, developed, com
pleted; They vere bred without stamina,
class;
'Tls to them, the surpassed, the de
feated, I bow as I drain my glass.
Who are ye that should dare to re
ject them?
Do ye know what the handicaps
weighed?
Did ye suffer the pain, run the race,
stand the strain,
That ye scoff at the pace that they
made?
It may be that they ran over
weighted, It may be they were left at the
post
Far or near, 'tis to them the ill fated,
I bow as I drink my toast.
They have lost, they are ill, they are
weary;
Ye have won, ye are well, ye are
strong.
By the drops that they bled, by the
tears that they shed,
By your mirth, by your wine, by
your song,
By all that has e'er helped to sweeten
Your lives, by your hopes, by your
plans,
I pledge you the health of the beaten,
Tho health of the "also rans."

Louis Schott was arrested last
week at Shaniko, and the charge was
that he shot Frank Knott when
Knott was not doing a thing to
Schott. Schott claims that the shot
he shot did not harm Knott In fact
the shot that shot Knott was not
shot by Schott: farther than tint
the accused man swears that when
Knott was shot' Schott was not In
the town. Knott declares that th?
shot that Schott shot at Knott ihot
Knott the shot entering his body
in divers quantities, and phvslciuna
could not extract all the sot that
Schott shot into Knott. . will be
a corker for the juries. If Knott was
shot nnd Schott was' not and Schott
shot not the shot that shot Knott,
who shot Knott? And was not
Schott half-shot when he shot?

The Dog Wasn't Touched.
"Madam," said the conductor as he
punched a ticket, "I am very sorry, but
you can't have your dog In this car. It
is against the rules."
"I shall hold him in my lap all tho
way." she replied, "and ho will not dis
turb any one."
"That makes no difference." said the
conductor. "Dogs must ride in the
baggage car. I'll take and fasten him
for you."
"Don't you touch my dog, sir!" ex
claimed the young lady excitedly. "I
will trust him to no one," and with In
dignant tread she marched to the bag
gage ar, tied ber dog and said: "Re
member, please, I don't want a soul
here io touch my dog or untie hlin.
You understand?"
The baggage crew said they did.
As the train approached her station
tho young lady, hailing the conductor,
asked, "Is my dog all right?"
"I don't know, miss," replied tho con
ductor. "Don't know?" she replied. "Why
don't you know? It's your business to
know. You haven't touched him or un
tied him?"
"No; we didn't touch or untlo him,
and that's just It. You tied him to a
trunk checked for two stations back.
The trunk had to be put off, and so wo
threw tho dog off with the trunkl"

A Prophecy Fulfilled.
Rouello, ono of tho early fathers of
chemistry In France, drew crowds of
enthusiastic students to his classroom.
"Gentlemen," ho said on one occasion,
"you see the caldron on this brazier.
If I were to cease stirring a single
moment an explosion would ensuo
which would blow us all into tho air."
In addressing the students Rouello
actually forgot to stir. There was n
horrible crash, the windows blew out,
and some of tho walls went down,
whll several were blown bodily into
tho neighboring garden. No one was
killed, and tho only damage sustained
by Rouello himself was tho loss of his
wltr.
A Grand Ovation.
"I finished my peroration," said tho

Impressed and enthusiastic were they
over by effort. I was gracious and
shook bands with all who mado the

on the harp of his emotions, leaued
