The Humanizing of the Hubbards
buMBsssbss ^
BY 6ALENA MARTIN
_I
' '
■--—
John Hubbard was tired when
be sat down to read bis evemug
paper; more tired than usual, for
ft bad been a bard day at the
office, and bad to be on the jump, 1
as well as under a severe nervous
strain, for a mistake in the
cheques he was making out
meant that it must be made up
from his own salary. So when
he had donned house jacket atid
slippers, and with paper in hand,
drew his ehair to the fire, it was
with a feeling of relief that t he
dsy was 07er, and he could now
rest
Will you play a game with me,
Uncle John? asked Harold his
wife's seven year old nephew.
No, Harold; I want to read my
paper now, replied Mr. Hubbard,
without looking up from its

■
pages.
have seen that the little fellow
also looked tired, as in fact he
was, for having a cold, he had
been kept in the house all day,
and had exhausted bis slock of
self-amusements.
Harold was only temporarily
with his aunt and utKle, his
father and mother being away
from the city on a trip where it
was not - considered advisable to
take Harold.
The Hubbards having no
Children, bad only the memory
of a little girl who for brief years
haft brightened and softened
their lives and then bad left
them. Naturally, or at least
easily, the Hubbards had dropped
into a way of life and habit that
had no place for childish inter
rnptions or childish needs. They
had both grown to be self suffi
cient so far as children were
concerned. As the years had
passed, if occasionally a little
child had smiled into their faces,
no sooner was a demand made on
their time or patience, then the
smile was discouraged. Neither
of them meant to be selfish, nor
wer e they, ex cept where they
bad to give of themselves along
with their gifts.
Harold's parents, having grown
ap with him, so to speak, were
Accustomed to enter into bis
little world, and in fact if the full
troth be told, almost allowed it to
monopolise them, hence Harold
was not as self-reliant as be
might have been, if left t8 amuse
himself alone more often.
Leaving his Uncle John to the
enjoyment of his paper, Harold
sought his Aunt Louise, who was
jost then coming down stairs to
make snre the dinner would be
on time, for promptness of meals
was one of the regulations of the
Hnbbard home, with which
nnthju g was allowed to interfere.
Aunt Loaise, won't you play h
game with me? Uncle says he
wants to read bis paper.
No, not now, Harold; I must
see if Ellen has dinner ready, so
do something else for a while,
And Mrs. Hnbbard passed on
into the kitchen, giving no fur
ther thought to Harold. But no
sooner had she returned to tbe

Can't I pop corn, Aunt Louise,
before dinner; just a little? 1
know where the popper is and
the corn, too, pleaded Harold.
Mrs. Hubbard had met so
many of bis requests with an
outright refusal during tbe daj
that she hesitated a moment, and
tn that moment Harold pushed
bis claim, Please let me, Auntie,
for I won't mass and I can do it
just as weil —yon just see if I
can't.
Well, if EUen will let yon, re
plied hie aunt, not feeling equal

und wishing to aide step the out
right decision. When Harold
entered the kitchen Ellen was at
that critical moment in the prep
aration of tbe dinner, when
everything seemed to need at
tention at once, and conseqoently
had neither the time nor patience
to have Harold around with bis
popcorn, consequently she dis

Driven oat of the kitchen,
Harold again returned to tbe
dining-room, where he threw
himself down on the couch in
an abandon of grief, feeling that
til the world bad turned against
him in the absence of his father

King time it would be until they

that they had said their^gom

1 It was two months later, when,

FACTS ABOUT COLD STORAGE
.
A reporter for a New York paper
gained entrance to one of the largest cold
storage plants in New York City, a few
.....
aa to the name of his informant, told
some inside facts in regard to the cold
storage business.
It appears that immense quantities of
staple food supplies are kept in storage
in order to force the public to pay exor
bitant prices. Some of them remain in
storage from six months to three years
or more, and are released » lien prices
are high. Among other items were
50.000 pounds of halibut, i I ced in tbe
plant three years ago; barrels of turkeys
and geese two years old or mon ; thou
sands of cases of eggs, purchased at 181
cents a dosen and released at from 48 to
52 cents a dozen as "strictly fresh eggs;"
10.000 cases of fi-li from one to tiiree
years old; egg yolks in cans from China,
fire years old, etc.
A man who participated in the tour of
inspection and who formerly worked in a
cold storage plant, told of the top of
of these egg cans being knocked off in
iiandi ba The stench, he Baid,
overpowering that the workmen refused
to hsniile the can. Eggs in this form
are known to.the trade as "egoline," and
are used exiemively in the making of
pound cake and other pastries by the
hakerie- throughout the country.
Again, the Grand Jury of New Jersey
recently stated it had positive evidence i
that tood products in some instances I
hive been kept in cold storage for seren I
days ago, and ander a promise of secrecy
one
w as so
years.
Yet agaht; here are statistics taken by
the New York World from tiie Ice and
Refrigerator Blue Book, which ia printed
for cold storage men only:
At this time there are being held in
Cold Storage in 558 plants, 14,000,000 cat
•Uibi, Ö0,unü,000 http». Iu seventy eight
fiah-freesiug planta fish valued at $25,
000.000. In other cold storage plants,
1,800,000,000 egge. 130,000,000 pounds of.
pooitry, and fruits valued at $50,000,000. 1
Tiie re are millions of pounds of pota- 1
iocs, onion«, thousands of tnrlles, eels, I
cases of canned good«, milk, batter and
cheese valued, at $ 100 , 000 . 0011 . These I
Saures do not include numerous private!
■ laute.
Boosting of prices i« by no means tbe |
worst feature of this business. Foods
placed in cold storage decay very rapidly
a* soon-aa they are taken oat, and are' j
therefore dangerous. Never eat cold
storage food, if you can avoid it.— In

The most successful season in the
history of this store is just drawing to a
close, and we know no better way to
show our appreciation of your'apprecia
tion, than to give you 18 days of. Gen

dollars for you.
Everybody knows the kind of goods
we carry, but nobody has known such
prices on them as are given in this sale.
Moderate prices being the keynote
of our policy, we would not promise you
so much unless these bargains were
really extraordinary. They are. We
have tried to prove this in type, but that
is a difficult matter. The goods them
selves will prove it conclusively and
moreeasily than anything we might say.
We hope for the attendance of all our
regular patrons. We invite also those
have not yet made our acquaintance to
come and see for what little prices really
good goods can be sold.
Remember that tbe quantities in most
instances are small, but the prices are
smaller still. So don't be late, come
early. -
Prices quoted do not apply to new
