LOOKING; FOR WORK.
BT Monntiox 1. SWIM
Before I left the East I was told that
anyone could obtain. work in Washing-
ton Territory with entire ease. Trust-
ing to this•assurance,-I at length found
• myself in Seattle with,very few dollars
leftiu my pocket. It was now abio-
lutely neoessaryfor me to find work. I
put on my laboring suit, a blue flannel
shirt, a hat with markt_ of age, shoes
somewhat mended, -and other things in
keeping, and took my way to the lum-
ber rains. -
At the first office the clerk said they
were full but I could come mornings at
seven, if I wanted to, and when the fore
man needeWa hand he would putme
on. The keges were $1.75 per day. ..in
the yard, and $2 in the mill. From
there I applied at the office of an adjoin;
ing mill. The manager did not look at
me, but said, curtly, that the foreman
did the hiring.. I searched for the fore-
man. One of them was courteous; but
had no vacancy. If I would come every
morning at six o'clock, however, the: e
might in tune be a chance. This was
the best he could do. I found the -fore-
man of another department, buthe
would hardly allow me to talk with him.
His brusque, unfriendly bearingsaid,
"This ckritinual askiug for work is too
much."I saw ailI went away that I.
had no right to ask this man for achance
to earn a livelihood. I wasted his time,
and he felt irritated and insulted. He
made me distinctly sensible, as his em-
ployer in the office had done, that I was
in the way. *-
• had, torn my trousers on ef project-
ing nail, and one of the workmen vib.ont
' I stopped to question perceived* this,
and, saying that it looked bad, searched
his clothes for a pin to improve it. ' I
was surprised and gratified at this mark
of personal interest.
I visited another large- mill with the
mama result, save that here the foreman
was a perfect gentleman, and. seemed
sorry that he could give.menothing to
do. Then I entered each place that
showed any promise of work. One was
a wagon -shop, and there was nothing;:
another was a coal -yard office, but they
had men enough. I gained stink: infor-
mation at the latter place. The assis-
tant, himself a workingman, advised me
to apply for a job it wheeling bricks- at
some of the new buildings. He had
done this for several weeks_ after first
arriving in the city. I noted the loos -
ion of several unfinished buildings that
be mentioned, and went to one of them
for trial. It was the new schoolhouse,
and the men were laying the extensive
foundation. A man who appeared- to
be directing the work was walking about
the low walla, and occasionally helping
the others, and after some manoeuvring
• I headed him off.
"Do you have charge of the . work
here ?" I asked.
" No ; what do you want ?"
"1 wafitto get work," Isaid. "Who
does the hiring 2"
" There's., nobody here."
•
'Knowing that his words were not
true, I asked again with mote decision
for the man who employed; and he then
admitted that it was himself.
"Have you all the wheelbarrow 'men
you want?' I inquired. _
* "Yes," and then with a kind of pre-
liminary explosion lo prove his sincer-
ity, he added: "Ugh I. We're pretty
„ near done."
* Perhaps heaneant that the founda-
tions were nearly completed, and this
was true. ;But my twillingness to wheel
-brick was inno wise limited to the
foundations; and if his contract ended
there, it was no excuse for treating me
like an interloper: I simply wanted to
o be allowed to work if there was work,
and I Was, met with lies and a,
manner that said, "Anything to get rid
of you,"
Immediately after my arrival In Seat-
tle I had called at the leading newspaper
office to apply for a reportership. I
wore a white shirt and' collar, and . a
black suit of clothes, nearly new. .- I
was never received with more kindness
and affability thau by the proprietor of
this paper. He explained that their
force was full, and that they -could not
take another man without injustice to
the present -staff. When Deft the office
he expressed his desire in cordial tones
'that I should- call upon him again,
although he could not offer me a place.
Between that time and the day of my
visit to the mills I had several times
dropped into another newspaper office
but without. success in finding the pre
prietor. . On this -particular day, after
trying the shops;*1-had improved my ap-
pearance by putting on a good soft felt hat,
a necktie and well -polished shoes, but I
still wore the navy-blue shirk and a coat
that had not been made for the and Was
not altogether friendly to my form. I
hardly expected to fihd the editor, -but
luck had it that I did. -
"Have you all the reporters you
need ?" I inquired.
The editor glanced from my shoes up
before he answered. Then he said, with
perceptibltaincredulity in his voice and
look, "Aro you a reporter ?" He was
engaged -with something, and he hardly
paid me any attention after that. I ex-
plained. that I had been a reporter, and
had had some experience in writing. In
-a disconnected, impatient way he con-
veyed the impression that perhaps they
might Want somebody, and possibly he
would see about me some other time. It
was with difficulty that I forced my
name and address upon him. v
To complete this -part of my narrative
I will add that a few days later I re-
visited the office. taking care, however,
to attire myself in e, white shirt, a
rather high standingcollar, and- a finer
coat than I had previously wornl' This
timeI met the partner, - who ,lid not
know of my application. He kfeoeived
tne with ordinary businees courtesy, in
gratifying contrast with the "be off"
mien of his colleague, and said that they
had just engaged a reporter from one of
the other dailies after careful delibera-
tion. They had an unusually large
force now, and should perhaps be; com-
pelled to reduce it after electien. From
this conversation I was led to infer that
. my impression upon the leading partner
had not been sufficiently favorable to
cause him to even include me in their
deliberation. .
To return, that evening I offered my
-- services as waiter in one of the restaur-
ants. "Isn't that sign -taken down
. yet I" the clerk .aid; "we've just got a
man." I had.not seen the announce-
ment, "Waiter wanted." "Have you
had any experience waiting?" he con-
tinued. I was forced to admit that I
'had not. "Well, if you take witting
because it looks likes soft snap, you're
:mistaken. -It's mighty hard work, and
s'inin's got to be used to it. The best
way for you to do, if you want to learn
the business, is to start in, some little
coffee-houselor go out to a country
hotel wherethere /Many people,
and you can learn to take orders. A
passenger boat would be a good place, as
steward. You couldn't possibly do the
work here, and we wouldn't . think-. of
taking a man without experience:"
"How long would it take to learn'?"
I ventured.
Well,. a mall who was interested,
and eve his mind to it, would get Fhidd.
of it m five or six weeks." ,
The next morning at seven o'clock
was at one of the mills to: await my
chance of being set to work! • I regis-
tered with the others, and waited.
Several new -comers, like thyself, were
there doing the same. One had been
brought by afiriend, an old' band; and
had the advantage of .an introduction
and recommendation to the foreiresm • I
placed myself in a conspicuous position,
and the recommended man actually
went to work Under the direction of his
friend.- A third applicant, followed tthe
foreman about at a respectful distance.
-
But eventually we all had to give it [Up.
Every place was filled. Several days
after I saw one of these men standing on -
the street corner with his hands. in his
pockets. He had not yet found
work.
- I strolled Up - one of ttho prineipal
streets until I came t� the sited -a new
brick building, just begun. My blue
overalls and brown blouse ought to Com-
mend me; possibly1 should be allowed
• to`wheel bricks here. No; the foretean
• had put On some -new men at seven
o'clock that morning, and needed .no
more, -
I began to wonder if all men had the
same ditliculty in finding work 'that I,
was having. - •• -•
They were laying a cable road, and I
inquired of the "boas ".if there was any
vacancy. "No, they were all full."
It seemed to me there Was little use
of trying further that day, and I Made
. up my mind to begin at the mills •-again
the next morning. I had _stopped a few:
moments to watch the workers 00 the
cable track. Just as I was aboutto go
away a person came up and accosted an-
other idle laboring man. "Do. you
want work ?"' he-iaid. The, man asked
if it was a steady job. No." Then
he would not take It. This: was 111S:r op-
portunity,' and I offered my services.
"Come along; then." I thought it best
to inquire the natured': the work and
the amount &the pay. It was Moving
a pile of old boarda and boxes, and the.
pay was "just what everybody else
pays, twa,dollars and a quarter," gruffly
eommneleated. The man's wife soon
met us, -ithei would take me to the house
and shot, me what was to be done. In
the afternoon the husband and father
came home and awore savagely because
the blank -Wank . woman didn't iknow
howl," do anything. She had told. me
precisely . wrong; the small • boards
should have been thrown over the fence.
.She had directed Me to tlitovi the f large
ones over. The second -day's work was
diggiug away under the house with pick-
-and shovel, and grading a part of the
yard. My employer, the proprietor of
a small fruit and tobacco room, always
ttddressed me as "young • feller:" The -
work lasted nearly two days, in& when
he paid metii the amount Was five cents
less thanmy due. This r perniitted
him to keep, althoughit was consider-
able to me. - •t
I had spent my last cent, with the. ex-
ception of a few postage Atamps; for a
fifteen -cent dinner at aJapaneserestaur.
ant that -day, and I was -very glad to re-
-calve a few dollars. , But I was out of.
work, and no:meter a permanent. place
than before. : My Muscles were eXtteme-
sore,.and, fortunately, the next day
was Sunday. On Monday I made a tour
Of the employment offices. There wawa

un-
premeditated, particularly where the'
man has • notemoney enough to come
-back to reclaim his fee.' Well," the
clerk of -the office said, "1 have got a_
good opening as hod -carrier." As my
observation had hitherto inclined me to
regard this occupati6n as one' requiring
more than 'ordinary, muscular develop.
ment. which I did not at that,tirne p08 -
seas, I hesitated to accept the • offer % I
had previously applied to various -engi-
neers in the city for place on their sur-
veying corps without success,end Inovr
inquired of the employment agent what
the chances were of getting intO• such a
party. " Itook a three yearecourse in
engineering in Blank. college, in New
England, and I can't get such, a posi-
tion," he replied, with undisguised
tempt for me, who was:s o presumptuous -
as to try for the thanes tic, carry a rod or
chain without a three years' &hired. I
was properly humiliated, and asked,
with visible admiration, how he came- by
his present position.- . I had fallen into
the way of envying every min who had
regular work. Oh, he rejoined,
talking down from a octusiderable height,
"I was here asking for work and they
offered it to me."
The foregoing is a-ne phase of a, labor-
ing man's life in a country that is new
and uncommonly favored by -.nature.
The .actual experience of what he is com-
sielledto. undergo is far less enjoyable
than he is led to believe by those. ,who
talk and write of the brilliant oppor-
tunities, in our West for the !laboring
class. Washington Territory is tc day
the very garden of that West, and I
would suggest. to Mr -Edward Atkinson
mato Mt. Andrew Carnegie that . they
go there as workingmen aed .gather•
statistics first hand as to the actual -life
and outlook of the working . people.
There are .some singular advantages in
personal tests. There • are certain in-
sightalliat can be gained - in - no other

Fish Living In Hot Water.
There is a pond on the hay rancle of
GOlonda, Colorado fed bythe waters of
the hot springs. .This pond has an area
of two or three sorest and.the , tempera-
ture of the water is about 85 degrees,
and in some places where the hot water
bubbles up from the bottom the tem-
perature is almost up to boiling point.
Recently -the discovery has been made
that this warm lake is literally alive
'with carp, some of which are more than
a foot long. All efforts to cetch there
with a hook and line have failed, as
fish will not touch the most 'tempting
bait. A for of them have been shot,
and, contrary to the generalsupposition,
•
the flesh was hard and palatable. How
the fish got bite the lake Ise mystery
unsolved. Within one hundred feet of
ere sprbigs which are !toiling hot, and
the ranchers in the vicinity use the,
water:to scald hoge in the lintohering
season.
Duties of Host. and Gina.
Dayou ever see a.palette when an ar-
tist was preparing -to paint e picture?
A row of tiny munch; of color stand
to:indite edge,-oradely isolated, and, as
the French say, 'Wearing at each other.
How can they ever be mingled in•1 the
subtle hues of sunlight and shadow?
Wait a moment, and you will see the ar-
tist draw from his °box a slender, flat
-
bladed, flexible knife ; with this he takes
upla bit of one color and adds a little of
another,. and mixes in. a hint of ivory
black or flake white, and, lo! the mir-
acle is wrought before our eyes. What
this blending knife is to the palette the
hostess. Intuit be. to- her company,
The greeter its diversiti,and the, strong-
er its coloring .of individuality,the bet-
-ter, if she can unite the differing. ele-
ments. : • ,
, The first duty of the • hostess is to
-make her guests acquainted with each
ether. A hint of scitne topic in which
the people introduced -are. .mutually in-
terested, in allusion to an acquaintance
which they hold in common, a mention
'of some plaoe, book or picture familiar
-to both, launches them successfully;
and the hostess may turn to her other
'guests with her mind at ease. If
she is Wise, she will have -° asked
several peptone preferably young
girls, to. . act as. hostesses, to
share the duties of . introducing
and. entertaining. She will also have
invited several more men than women
in order to have a circulating medium;

count of the -milder light. Strew the

Alas! there are people who- settle
back, a leaden weight, upon their enter-
tainers; people whose eyes are fixed on
a hole in the sofa over while they listen
languidly to their host; people who re-
gard vivacity as a mark of iderior
reeding—social oysters, who -hope, by
never. opening their shells,to deceive the
world into the belief that they hold a.
pearl.. All these are as common as they
are depressing. , The ideal guest is much
more.rare than the ideal hostess.. The
role involves the power to play second
fiddle gracefully, to take time .from the
first violin, and aim simply to aid the
general . dffeet. With nopersonal in--
terest in making a party a success, to
throw one's vital energy into the breach
is a stretch :of altruism as rare as Ad-
mirable. - Much of the explanation of
the lethargy • of guests lies
in . that phraie, The expend
Mire of vital energy:" We, as a race,
are too tired for social enjoyment. An
editor who was invited to a literary
gathering to listen to a patter responded,
with More vigor than civility, "Good
gracious ! wouldaTou ask a than who had
been-felliiig trees all day for a living to
come to a wood chopping party in the
evening for fun 2" -
The task of making Society sociable
maywellstagger a hostess if it involves
-
first regulating the business* day of
the guest. But that a leisure class
does not solve the problem is suffi-
ciently attested by Byron's descrip-
tion of
"Society, one vast and polished horde,
Formed of two migiaty tribes, the bores and
hived." - •
This is the verdict ofonewho had tried
all the luxury and elaboration that
dould be derived by a class which made
society a chief pursuit. • Suppose, then,
we begin at the other end, and - try
what help may lie in simplification, and:
the adaptation of -society to the re-
quirements of business men and busy
women; in adopting a soeial code
wherein, the only thing dethanded. of
the hosts shall be a spirit. of hospital-
ity, and the only requisition of the

BBING due to the presence of vile
acid in the blood, is most effectually '
-cured by the use of Ayer's Sarsapa-
rilla. Ile sure you get Ayer's4and no -
other, and take it till the poisonous
acid is thoroughly expelled from the
-system. We challenge attention -to this
testimony :—
"About two years ago, after suffering
ror nearly two years from rheumatic
gout, being able to _walk only with great
discomfort, and having tried various
remedies, including mineral waters,
without relief, I saw by an advertise-
ment in a Chicago paper that a man -had
been relieved of this distressing cam-
- plaint, after long suffering, by taking
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I then decided to
ina,ke a trial of this inedicine;and took
it regularly for eight months, and am
pleased to state that it has effected a
complete cute. I have since had no
of the disease." -,-Mrs. R. -Irving

fined to my house six months. I came
out of the sickness very much debili-
tated, with no appetite, and my system
disordered in every way. I commenced
using Ayer's Sarsaparilla and began to
improve at wince, gaining in strength
and soon recovering my venal hearth.
I cannot say too much in praise of this
well-known medicine." tits., L. A.
