THE GRASLE PAPER BOX- COM PANY, 212-214 East Twenty-fifth street, North, Is different. Its management has Us own meth ods and ways of doing business. For example, it will manufacture only collapsible boxes. No other kind Is turned out from this institution, and yet it has every appliance for constructing anything In the box line made of cardboard. On Us two 50x 100 foot floors may be found such an array of machinery that the uniniti ated In the box making art becomes bewildered in wonderment as to what they mean or can be used for. But those young men and women employes fully understand them, and they are handled as if they were toys. NOT MERELY A TRADE. "Paper box making is not a trade, merely," says Howard E. Grasle, pro prietor of the factory. "Many pro ducts are works of art. From those presses you see running on our first floor come some of the most beau tiful pictures! They are actual works of art and the production of our own and outside artists.

If w-e didn't some other factory would. Our illustra tions could not be made at any price the dealer could stand a few years ago. It is the improvement in ap pliances that enables us to do this work at this tlnfe." MARVELOUS EXPANSION. Up to a year ago Mr. Grasle emu lated the mistakes of scores of manu facturers. He attempted to be pro prietor, business manager, superin tendent, foreman, salesman and fac tory hand. He made a five yea'rs' trial of the game, and wasn't getting anywhere at a very rapid pace. A year ago he came in contact with George G. Guild, who had had ex perience in handling lines quite sim ilar to the paper box business, and mads arrangements with him to take over the buying and selling man agement of the plant. Thereupon Mr. Guild opened an office at 810 Henry building, pulled off his coat, rolled up his sleeves and began to wade In. He went it at a pretty lively gait, too, with the result that the three cr four hands employed by the fac tory 12 months ago have been added to until now their number is 15 actual box makers, and Mr. Guild de clares: I "We have six months orders ahead. The factory's output today is ten times that of this time last year, 'and new business is continually rou- lns In. 1000 A MINUTE MACHINE. "In equipment we have more than doubled the capacity of the factory, and I am confident there is not a better appointed plant on the Pacific coast. We have added a second story to the building, and there is more machinery In this new addition than formerly in the entire structure. Among these new purchases Is an automatic gluing, folding and count ing machine, warranted by the mak ers to glue, fold and count 1000 boxesl a minute. How is that for speed? Some of our clients, the Hazelwood. for example, place orders with us for 1,000,000 cartons. Suppose we had these partly printed and the com pany would make a hurried demand for 100,000. "When could we have them ready?. In 100 minutes!

'"It is occasionally stated that east ern paper box factories are more up-to-date than those of the west," Mr. Guild says, "but you may be sure that . not one of them, no matter whera located, ean take the palm away from us.

They refused to depart from the place where their beloved mother had been fated eternally to re main. So Speelel turned them into pinnacles of rock, sometimes called the Pillars of Hercules, now better known as Speelel's children. Thus runs the charming legend that adds the suggestion of age-old mystery to Mist Fulls, above the Columbia rivs highway. " , Mist Kails come from a greater elej vatlon than any of the other waterfalls along .he wonder way. Authoritative height measurement Is lacking but an estimate gives the total altitude as about 1000 feet. I have never known any person to Ktrevel on the highway as far as Mist Falls without ejaculations of wonder and admiration. You have come to the point where the immensity of the gorge begins to grow upon you. The waterfall at Its beginning is a thread of sliver white. It is caught so easily bv the winds that blow where eagles are sailing, and yet o persistently it returns to the cUffs whence it must be repeatedly torn. The rugged cliffs are of heroic, massive mould. Their colorjngs are of magic beauty, and the timings change frjm the subdued to the vivid shades of royal purple, velvet brown and Joy ous green as the light varies.

Prisons do not reform. A clean minded man, after associating a year with hardened crim irals, will never be able to purify his lniiid. The cold, hard world points the finger of scorn at the poor unfortunate and falls to heed the tender words of the lowly Nazarene. The family are worse than orphaned; they are out casts. The prisoner is robbed of from 1 to 0 years of his life by an excessive sentence given by a hardened Judge whose conscience s seared by long contact with unfortunates and hard ened criminals. Parole is the only method of restoration to a man. The state should do more. It should give him employment.

To the Editor of The Journal In this day of pre paredness, when tlie attitude of the citizen toward his country's govern ment Is being more or less sharply out lined, when we are parading the streets mr':ing music and singing modern pa triotic songs, it might not be alto gether out of place to quote the senti ment sung and recited on the streets of Rome less than 300 years after the founding of the city, when already the people were looking back to the good old former days and complaining against the then present government. Hear Macaulay: "For Romans in Rome's quarrel Spared neither land nor gold. Nor son. nor wife, nor limb, nor life, in the brave days of old. . "Then none was for a party; Then all were for the state; Then the great man helped the poor, And the poor man loved the great: Then Jands were fairly portioned; Then spoils were fairly sold; The Romans were like brothers In the brave days of old. "Now Roman la to Roman More hateful than a foe, And the Tribunes beard the high And the- Fathers grind the low. As w wax hot in faction. In battle we wax nold; Wherefore men fight not as they fought In the brave days of old." O. O. HUGHSON. Free Medical Advice. From the Christian Herald.
