THE OBSERVER.
A few days ago | overheard a mar who
pretends to be something of a politician
state publicly that if he had an opportuni-
ty to take money from the Golfers of I'm
Gle Sam without being detected, he
would MT hesitate a moment. He said
that was Mt stealing, because whatever be-
longs to the government was public and
subject to be plundered by the shrewdest
man that got inside tie ring. | would not
trust that man with any business OF mine.
lie would be pretty apt to carry Socialistic
ideas into all his dealings with his fellow
men. With such men as that avowed thief
in Office. our government would soon be
reduced to anarchy.
The same flag floats over the just and IN
Just alike in this country. The beautiful

bration of our Glorious Fourth, waved a
welcome to J. X. Ioole and Wilbur T.
Sanders from the balcony Of the Park ho-

I remember once of reading about an
invention something after the phonograph,
by means of which speeches could be bot

l took q drive down to the Sulphur
| springs on the other side of the river, a
| few days AGO and found q regular sulphur
ranch d short distance this side Of the well
known springs. For about q quarter Of a
mile along the river, water strongly i'm
| ~pregnated with sulphur oozes out OF the
high rocky bank. One can tap a sulphur
vein with a pen-knife almost anywhere
along there. While climbing about the
rocks We ran into a large cave formed by
the ove4-hanging ledge and almost clos
ed in front by the sediment thrown up by
the rushing river in times of nigh water.
This must be the place where the gallant
young Indian lover carried away the dusky
maiden to whom he was clandestinely be-
trothed. The legend recites that owing to
tribal hostilities the alliance was siren
uously opposed by the patriarchs.
But love laughs at patriarchs as well as
at prison walls. The young warrior knew
of this 'mystic cave" which was not dis
closed to the other noble reds. The water
of the river flowed along past what was APP
p~arently a solid wall. But the lover had
accidently discovered that the floor of this
cavern was above the level of the water.
So he takes his willing bride in a canoe
and when he arrives at the point where he
knows the cave to be, he grasps bride,
dives into the water and swims under into
the cave where he made his happy abiding
place for many moons. This of course
took place when the water was high.
