To THE EDITOB: I have been vis iting and sightseeing across tbe Sound, after laving just sold our little place (2 acrt-s) in Ballard, auu Allie and I are biddiog frieud.-. adieu prep, ratory*1 to leaving: for Los Angeles ^onie liuit* this week In one sense vve regret to move Very much, for we like Ballard and Seattle very much, and believe $bose towns have a great future, but the school board wanted our little place for a school house site, w*nt ed it quick and paid me my price as it was central for that ward, and before we bad tiot& to get out had a new building erected right in tbe middle of the strawberry patch, $H£RWIHWlLllAH 7 MODERN' METK—' which has supplied us neatly all summer and fall with the choicest berries. The Everett car lice is being built, streets graded, electric 'light, telephone and water main laid just as I predicted' when I bought the place, and it netted me just 100 per cent per annum on the invest ment in three years. As Allie wants to be near her people, I am going to Los Angeles to look things over but do not expect to find the opportunities there that are here. "Uncle Sam" put on three carri ers in Ballard May 1st. I took the examination for clerk, served abcur, two months as substitute, and liked the position and all connected very much was of course in .line for pro motion. I do not like tHe carriers' work! I think there are good opportun ities for goyernment positions here, but don't know how it will be at Los Angeles. We aim tp see some ihing of the fair and San Francisco en route, and if Red wood Falls were Within reach you may guess we would stop there too, although I would have to see something much more promising than I have ever seen yet to induce me to live there. Yesterday my cousin who lives at Coupeville, found a few hours to spare, turned the attention of his cider press over to a lieutenant, and drove us across tbe island to Fort Casey. This is a scenic as well as strategic spot, and should be visited to be appreciated. Leav Ing Coupeyille behind a spanking span of bays, such as Minnesota grows, thrilled with a sense of rur al freedom contrasting with tbe noise and rattle of Seattle street car riding, we were soon out in a fine open prairie farming district, some of whose wealthy owners braved the displeasure of* Indians fifty years ago in block houses still standing. This rich black loam yielding this year 70 or 80 bushels of wheat per acre apd vegetables and fruit in profusion needs no irri gation, and yet is porous enough to drain the heavy rains and make driviug a-pleasure. *"*s The'fine orchards and stock en gaged our attention for an hour when we were suddenly told to "see tbe Straits of De Fuca," and rounding a higher elevation of mea dow land we beheld this great high way of commerce, plowed by tbe giant steam and sailing vessels Of the world, the glistening turreted cruisers of all nations, and the puffing steamers and launches of a busy and prosperous island traffic. As one sees no land obstruction looking down the broad watery waste, while opposite our shore lies Port Townsend, flanked by long rws of government buildings be longing to Fort Flagler on our side and a deep and sheltering, shim mering bay on the other. After breathing deep breaths of salt sea air filtering through the rays of an autumn sun, we follow the fine gravelly road winding through some small forests of apple and pear trees planted by the earliest set tiers and bending with the loads of fruit which they are sometimes un able to carry. The trees reach far beyond the length of any ladder, and not being a sailor myself- am still wondering how they will get the fruit. Onward we wandered along toward Fort Casey, passing the sumptuous officer quarters in front of which stood a dispatch auto in waiting. The parade grounds with its maneouvering soldiers and reviewing officers with the accom panying band and martial music engaged our attention for a few moments, especially the ladies of .. v. 4 kk'Yf 51 it 6P0 MADE »YTW£ The Wonderful Growth CALUMET Baking Powder Is due to its Perfect Quality and Moderate Price Now used in over 2*000*000 homes our party, who all at once became exceeding patriotic. Thence the winding road leads us by a battery of mortars hidden behind the brow of a hill the green sod terraced with precision, and no doubt connected by tunnels piercing the bill and giving access to ammunition and quarters. We crossed a well grad ed railroad used only in transport ing tbe heavier guns to still higher ground. Tbe battery of long rifles, seven or eight in number, near the water front, is protected from an enemy's tire by great walls of solid concrete banked by earth, each^un being raised by machinery to fire and lowered to a safe level to load. On our return drive we passed near two tall poles each spliced to reach a great height aud stayed by guy wires. One carries itbe wire less telegraph apparatus, tbe other the good old Stars and Stripes. Our drive bome after traversing a tract of heavily wooded land, with long vistas of fern and shadow, emerg ing into another open farming sec tion w„s equally surprising. W. A. HUBBARD. Everett, Sept. 29. Preferred Jail to Scales. A burglar who entered a Harlem house recently suffered a unique form of punishment. It happened that the family he had come to rob were incon veniently early risers, and before he had half finished his work he heard a step on the stairs. Quickly gathering up his booty, he slipped behind the pi ano, intending to make good his es cape as soon as opportunity offered. But opportunity did not offer, for'it appeared that the step he had heard was that of one of the daughters of the house, who had come down to the par lor for a couple of hours' piano prac tice before breakfast. When she had finished another daughter was stand ing ready to occupy the stool for an other two hours. Next followed the music lesson of each of the young la dies in turn. After these lessons were over theij brother's violin teacher ap peared and, seating herself at the pi ano, began his accompaniment. But this was too much. The burglar rushed from his hiding place. "For heaven's sake, have me arrest ed!" he implored. "At least there are no pianos in jail!"—New York Press. Pill Counters. When you buy pills do you stop to count them before you leave the drug store? Lots of people do. Indeed, one observing drug clerk claims that the person who does not is a rarity. "What they all do it for I don't know," he said in an aggrieved tone. "Possibly they thjnk they are getting cheated. Anyway, most drug store pa troiis have the capsule counting habit and if by chance the number they re ceive does not tally with the prescrip tion they raise no end of a fuss. If the directions say, 'Take one pill fc ,times a day for five days,' and the c": tomer finds that he has only eighteen pills to be taken, he swears that has been 'done' out of two doses a demands satisfaction."—New York Post.

What does it sul phur?" V^ "Twenty-five cents a can." w "Then you can give me a can." "T "hafe seldom cinnamon who thought himself as witty as you," said the chemist in a gingerly manner, feel ing called upon to do a little punning himself. "Well, that's not bad, either," laugh ed the customer, with a siruptitious smile. "I ammonia novice at the busi ness, though. I've soda good many puns that other punsters were credited with. However, 1 don't care a cop peras far as I am concerned. We have had a pleasanj time, and I shall car raway"— But the chemist had gone to wait on another customer.—New York Press.

"Yes, if you are careful," replied his mother. A few minutes later she heard a racket in the parlor and, lookr ing in, saw her little son sitting on top of the piano with his feet on the keys, while his playmate was trying to climb into the instrument. "Here! What are you boys doing?" she asked. "Play in' on the piano," replied her son. "You said we could."—Kansas City Times. Tommy Gets Informed.

Probably every one who has noticed the green and roasted coffee sitting to gether in sacks in the dealer's stoi*e- i house has observed the difference in size of the beans. It is a peculiarity of coffee that in roasting while it loses considerably in weight it gains in bulk. At the reddish brown stage the loss of weight has been about 15 per cont and the gain" in bulk about 3& at the chestnut brown, 20 and C'» per cent respectively, and, if carried to a dark brawn, 25 and GO. It is in the roasting that the volatile oil to which the delightful aroma is due is developed, as it is not present in the green berry. If the roaming is carried too far—beyond a light brown—this oil is injured and destroyed, and the disappointed housekeeper properly complains that the cofltee has been roasted to death. Genius Inimical to "Prizes." There is not in existence a single great opera, oratorio, symphony or in deed any fipe piece of musical art which is the result of the prize system. There is "Cavalleria," which is drivel, there are other works which are worse drivel, but no one can name to me a really fine work that has won a prize. The reason, though apparently ridicu lously simple, is sufficient. In music the big men contemptuously refuse to compete for prizes. I know that in sculpture it is otherwise. Stevens' Wel lington affair, which, they tell me, is kept in a cellar somewhere, is proof of that. But there is not a fine prize play, prize picture, prize poem, prize piece of music.
