CAST A LINE FOR YOURSELF,

A young man stood listlessly watch
ing some anglers on bridge. lie
was poor and detected. AT last ap-
preaching a basket filed with whole
some looking fish he sighed:
eff now L had those 1 would be
happy. l could sell them at fair
price and buy me food and lodgings"
81 will give you just as many and
just as good fish," said the owner who
had chanced to hear the words, +" If
you will do me trifling favor.''
"And what is that p asked the other
"Only tend this line till come back
1 only wish 10 go on short errand."
The proposal was gladly accepted.
The old man was gone SO long that
the young man began to be impatient.
Meanwhile the hungry fish snapped
greedily at the baited hook, aud the
young man lost all his depression in
the excitement of pulling them in and
when the owner of the line returned
he had csugh ht large number. Count
ing out from them as many as were in
the basket, and handing them to the
young man, the old fisherman said
81 fulfill my promise from the fish
you have caught, to teach you when
y u see others earning v b It you need,
to waste no time in fruitless wishing,
but cast line for YOURSELF"

A CURIOUS WILL.

A curious will has just been settled
in Berlin containing q moral worth
wider circulation than q miser's last
testament often obtains. The poor
man died. when, to general surprise,
it was found that he left 81 GOO marks.
The $4,000 in package signed and
sealed, was to be given to his native
town in Bavaria; 1000 each TO three
brothers, and 1000 to a friend with
whom he had quarrelled. 1t was stip-
ulated that none of the four should
follow the body to the grave, which
suggestion the three brothers gladly
accepted but the quarreller walked
alone and forfeited his l. 200 marks for
the sake of paying last mitigating
honor. When the package was OPEN
cd for the town it disclosed another
will, giving the $1,000 to any of-the
i four who should disregard the stipa-

INSTRUCTIONS TO A JURY.

NSlhUCJtUNS " n SUnV.
Speaking of courts reminds us of funny
instruction said to have been given by a
Judge by jury in well, We won't say in
what state. 1t turns this way:
''If the jury believe. from the evidence,
that the plaintiff and defendant were part
ner in a grocery, and that the plaintiff
bought out the defendant and gave bis note
for the interes', and the defendant paid for
the note by delivering to the plaintiff COW,
which he warranted mot breachy' and the
warranty was broken by the reason of the
breachiness of the COW. and the plaintiff
drove the COW back aud rendered her to the
defendant, but the defendant refused to re.
ceive her, and the plaintiff t,ok her home
again, and put a heavy yoke or poke upon
her, to prevent her from jumping tho fence,
by reason of the poke or yoke, broke her
neck and died, and if the jury further he.
lieve that the defendants interest in the
grocery was not worth any hing, the plain
titi's note was worthless, aud the COW good
for nothing. either for milk or for beef or
for green hide then the jury must find out
for themselves how they will decide the
case-for the court. If she understands her.

any material over that way that they
think would make good delegates to
the Convention" indicates that in the
opinion of Bagley, there is some doubt
about there being anybody outside of
Olympia who has brains enough to be
good delegate in the Constitutional
Convention. He will do well to re
member that the people over here vote
when the time comes, and that they
WW not rote for nominee who is
placed before them through the means
of any such 'put up job" The 'lion's
share" we do not want; only meet us
half way and treat us as equals. We
all admit that Olympia is an ''import-
ant" town. The writer has lived there and
has a high admiration for both the
town and the people, and he does not
believe the good sense of the little city
will sustain Mr.. Bagley or anybody else
in "usurping authority and putting up
Jobs. In conclusion, if anybody shall
think this controversy trivial, let them
reflect that the science of politics lies
very largely in the initiative proceed
ings, and that no political party can
discard the opinions and wishes of any
considerable portion of their number
in these preliminary proceedings with
out suffering the consequences.

The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1878-02-21

A bill is before Congress, disfran-
chising polygamists and women in
Utah Territory. Mr.. Cannon, the
Mormon delegate, in an argument
before the House subcommittee on
Territories, denied the existence of
union of church and state, and de-
clared the demand upon Congress for
free ballot to be without reason in
fact, as those non -Mormons who are
making such demands are simply
carpet-baggers and adventurers. DIR.
Mary Walker, the great, or little,
American nondescri pit, who, of course,
knows all about the business, pro-
tested against congressional inter
ferance with Mormon polygamists
on the ground that the Utah system
of marriage, from physiological
standpoint, is an Improvement on
monogamy and more enlightened
phase of the social evil. But the best
thing was offered by Mrs. Spencer, a
strong women's rights advocate, who
based her objection to DISTINGUISHING
polygamists in Utah on the ground
that it would be in bad taste for the
Congress of the United States, which
she declared to be composed in part
of practical polygamists, to interfere
with the Mormons.
