. HOW ONE O Lb "MAN LI V E3.
Kconomlcal Board and Boom Keeping of
Resident of Washington.
It is wonderful how the theories of
our past lives comes back to us now as
- the realities of the present. Daniel
Webster constantly made notes of cur
rent ideas, and when asked how long it
waa before he used them, replied some
times twenty years, sometimes longer.
.When I was a boy, in Shelby county, 1
Went one day to Mr. John Cooper's shoe
maker's shop to be measured for a pair
of shoes, as the custom of the country
then was. He and his little son Robert
lived alone in the woods in a house of
one room, which was dwelling and
ehoe shop. Soon Bob's uncle, Gideon
Kaylor, about his age, came in, and Bob
joyfully exclaimed, "Come, Uncle Gid,
we've got some potatoes, and there is
plenty of salt."
It seemed strange to me to see how
eagerly they roasted and ate the potatoes
and how happy they were. They lived
happily, and yet this was all their liv
ing. I have repeated this story fre
quently during my prosperous days as a
great wonder, never dreaming that it
would become my own reality, as it now
is, and I am happy too.
A German woman who could not
speak a word of English came into my
office one day with one of my German
circulars in her hand, which Mr. Coop
bad given her in Saxony. I sent her out
into the country with a German mer
chant to look at lands, and that day she
bought a farm. The next day I made
the deeds, and she became the owner
and moved in. A neighbor soon after
ward told me that it cost that lady
nothing to live. He says she puts a tin
cap of coffee on the stove and a tin cup
of cornmeal mush, and that is all her liv
ing, but she is getting rich. I thought that
very strange, too, never thinking that I
should live so, but I do just that thing
now, having remembered hearing how
she lived.
When I lost all my money and yet
must live, I rented a room 14 by 16 feet,
with heat, for $3 per month not a very
good room and not very well furnished,
but comfortable and respectable, and
there are plenty of them at that price.
I bought an outfit as follows: An iron
"handy lamp, 75 cents; three seamless
pint tin cups, 15 cents; one do. quart,
15 cents; one half gallon tin cup, with
cover, 10 cents; three bowls, 15
cents; cup and saucer, 10 cents; gallon
glass oil can, 85 cents; oil, 15 cents;
spoon, 10 cents; total outfit, $3. Then I
bought one month's prpvisions as fol
. lows: Half bushel potatoes, 35 cents;
- ten pounds cornmeal, 20 cents; three
pounds Graham flour, 15 cents; one
pound ground coffee, 25 cents; eight
pounds granulated sugar, 36 cents; one
pound lard, 10 cents; coarse salt, 5 cents;
total for the month, $1.46.
I am a good, hearty eater, and am full
fed and live well, and am thankful for
it, but I cannot eat all of my month's
provision. There is always a considera
ble amount over every month, and I live
well too. In the. morning I light my
bandy lamp, fill my seamless pint tin
cup with water, put a teaspoonful of
ground coffee into it, put it over the
lamp, and turn another tin cup, bottom
upward, over it for a cover. In ten
aoinutes there is a pint cup of good, hot
coffee. While the coffee is boiling I put
a little water into the half gallon cup,
not more than one-eighth full, and then
fill the quart tin cup about one-fourth
full of cornmeal, add a little salt, then
Bet this cup into the half gallon cup, and
fill up the quart cup full of water and
stir up the meal well. Jam in the han
dle of the quart cup so that it will go
into the larger cup. As soon as the cof
fee comes off set the mush on the lamp.
Stir it occasionally, and when it thickens
and fills up the cup take it off.
I buy a loaf of bread for four cents
for Sunday, and melt a little lard and
salt for gravy, and I live well and have
plenty to eat. Many others in this city,
gaunt and half starved, can live well in
this way. John Howard in Washington

Auction Parties.
Auction parties are something of a
novelty. On entering the guest is pro
vided with the means to purchase little
bags filled with beans, every bean tak
ing to itself a dollar value. The "lots"
are carefully concealed from view, and
are being put in boxes and tied up in
varicolored tissue paper. It is not safe
to trust to bulky appearance, as often
the most promising parcel reveals an in
significant result. Some of the pur
chases are dainty trifles, many absurdi
ties and jokes. Funny catalogues add
to the amusement of an auction party,
which is really simply another way to
bestow "favors." Her Point of View in
New York Times.
Brass In England In Chaucer's Time.
A metal resembling brass,' but said to
have been superior in quality, was
known in England as "maslin" as early
as the time of Chaucer, and in the reign
of Henry VIII an act of - parliament was
passed prohibiting the export of brass
out of England. Whether the earlier
monumental brasses still to be found in
our churches were made originally in
England is not absolutely certain, the
m J w dviuo Ubl-
quaries, being that they were of French
or Belgian workmanship. Chambers'

A Snake That Swallowed a Si an.
Large specimens' of boa constrictors
have been known to swallow men whole.
The case is related by the traveler Giro
niere of-a criminal in the Philippine
islands who hid from justice in a cav-
ern. His father, who alone knew of his
hiding place, went sometimes to see him
and to take him rice for food. One day
he found instead of his son an enormous
boa asleep. He killed it and found his
son's body in the snake's stomach.

Our whippoorwill demands his pun

human voice, and the command of the

be mistaken for a human voice. Brook

A Swell Boston Shoemaker.
For several years there has been a col
ored ' shoemaker on School street. He
has owned his little shop, which is big
enough for about four people to stand ut :
without noticeable discomfort. ' He is a
good looking young fellow, and there isn't
anything remarkable about him at first
sight. He has a very good trade for a
small place; and his income is sufficient
to enable him to live comfortably. If
you go into his shop any time of the day
between 7 o'clock in the morning and 5
o'clock in the afternoon you will find him
seated on . a little stool with a leather
apron on. His sleeves will be rolled up,
and he will, be pegging away for dear
life.
If you go into the .place at 5 o'clock
and wait a few minutes, you will pres
ently behold as novel a spectacle as may
be witnessed in the city anywhere. You
will see that a gorgeous light overcoat
has been hanging on a peg in the wall
in a corner of the shop, and that a pair
of flashing patent leather shoes have
been reposing in the same corner on the
floor, and that near by a big silver
knobbed walking stick has been stand
ing, while on a little shelf has been rest
ing a glossy silk hat. When this young
man's work is done- in the evening he
doffs his leather apron and attires him
self in his swell apparel.
He may be seen on Washington street
in the neighborhood of the Adams House
an hour later, silk hat, patent leathers,
spring overcoat, silver knobbed cane and
alL He goes to his shop in this dress in
the morning and leaves it similarly gar
mented in the evening.. He moves in
the swellest colored society of the city,
and is looked on by his acquaintances as
a person of quality. Yet he makes no
diafimise of his business. Boston Cor

Of the Leading City of Eastern Oregon.
-During the little over a year of its existence it
has earnestly tried to fulfill the objects for which it
was founded, namely, to assist in developing our
industries, to advertise the resources of the city and
adjacent country and to work for an open river to
the sea. Its record is before the people and the
phenomenal support it has received is accepted as the
expression of their approval.. Independent in every
thing, neutral in nothing, it will live only to fight
for what it believes to be just and right.
Commencing with the first number of the second
