lit* Wan In Such it Hurry.
A man who has resided in Cairo told
this tale as au illustration of the dil
atory ways of Arabian trades people:
"A certain gentleman ordered a
suing to !?? erected Iti his garden foi
the use of his little hoy, aired six. lie
waited and waited, but the swing nev
er arrived. Iu due eourse of time that
boy grew up to man's estate and l>o
came himself the father of a little K\v.
When his son was six years old h?
remembered how his own father had
ordered a swing to be made for him
So he called on the tradesman, whc I
lived at his gate, and asked him tc
send up the swing that hail been order
ed twenty years before. The man
agreed to do so. The little boy- lie
coining impatient after three weeks
his father called again and remon
strated with the Arabian as to his dil
atoriness. The iudlgnaut tradesman
replied that he could not really under
take to serve any one who was in
such a fearful hurry."
Homnultj and Machinery.
Machinery is the cornerstone of mod
ern society, the very foundation oa
which law. science, ethics, the art*,
even the state itself, rests. It is so
new that we do not yet know its
poetry. We do not yet understand.
Only two generations have lived be
slile the highway of steam: only one
has seen the Bessemer converter trans
form the blacksmith into the master
builder of ships and towers. The sow
ing machine, the far speaker, the type
writer. are common things of today, ac
cepted as a matter of dally conven
ience. and yet are they teachers of the
people. Machines that come close to
our lives and homes Insensibly teach
truth, precision, the adjustment of uni
versal laws to human needs, respect
for that wise American idea that
labor saved is labor released for high
er aud nobler toil. The machine is the
head master of the high school of the
race.? Reader Magazine.

CHERE is no better land in the famous White River Valley than this, and
there is very little as good, Rich deep soil, School, Store and Postottic*
all being on the ground. Can go to Seattle or Tacoma any hour ia the day.
The land will double in value before last payment has to be made. The Chicago
Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad is going through the land and two other roads
seeking an entrance to Seattle will almost be compelled to go through the land,
making five roads in all. and it is only a matter of a very short time when al'
the valley will be takan for Railroad pnrjtoses, Factories, Machine Shops and
Faim Sites and become very valuable. NOW IS THE TIME TO IiOY.
YOU CAN'T MISS IT. We are making a low price, considering the land
and giving easy. See John W. Troy or I, M. Jensen at this office for terms etc.
