The Patriot soon made itself known and
felt in political circles. 1t Numbered its
biggest guns at the devoted head of Barn
aby the party candidate. 1t battered its
heaviest rams against the party behind
him. 1t denounced the caucuses that usurp
the right Of the free people TO choose their
own public servants. But the Patriot
scrupuiously refrained from personalities.
No scurriIous jibes. no sneaking ISLANDERS,
no accusations by anonymous foes. no
H}angy saloon talk about Bill this, Dave
that or Jake t'OIncr degraded It's pages.
Tie paper was written 10 be read by men
and women VINO were neither iillterate,
vulgar. idiotic, nor rampant mad for plum
der: in fact, il was new thing in New
York What was even more remarkable, 1t
admitted he other side into its columns,
printed corrections of It's own errors and
criticisms upon its own editorials, and more
marvellous still, IL did not stop the discus
sion If the other side were getting the best
OF It. Strange 10 say, the snecrs OF its
older competitors We're not indorsed by the
people. Its rival predicted that paper fool
enough 10 be honest right through would
soon fail: that fair play would Kill any daily
il the city, and that the editor who
relies on their merits of his cause and the
yersy IS a dangerous pillar of the profess
Sion. These new-fangled notions. they
feehngly said. never 90 here. We want
no rash Innovations. We have got along
toeraDly well on the lines our fathers laid
down. We think we know good track
when we have travelled on II all our lives.
Leave well alone, say we: this Is great
and glorious country. The people are l
mighty people and we are their leaders.
What has been good enough for US IS good
enough for our children, and therefore. we
say Of our noble, enlightened and brilliant
press. AS il was in the beginning, and IS
nov. SO il ever shall be, world without end,
amen"
But the people liked the Patriot. They
bought it, aad it soon became the mouth
piece of the patriotic citizens, powerful be-
cause they were able 10 hold the rudder OF
the ship Of state while the two old parties
pulled against each other Ut the oars.
The BlarnaDy organs, thanks to the indie
fatigable attentions of Fotherlngham,
bla2ed away n Hogg's new paper, and soon
al flogg himself. Hints We're thrown out
that The opposition was a sham, trick TO
make Blarnaby buy up his paper, and SO on.
AT length Hogg lost forbearanCe. He made
an appeal 10 Blarnaby to stop such per
B0uaI attacks. which had nothing to do with
principles for the sake of mutual friends.
As The attacks went Oh Us before, Hogg de-
cidcd 10 rctort Not wishing 10 bark where
he could not bite. he hat upon certain plan
lu a few weeks the election would be de-
cidrd. The stress OF journalism lad told
upon Hogg weeks holiday would be a
gOdsend Couldn't he ard I'yrwhltt slip
away 10 his ranch in Idaho, and from there
find out Just how the Laramie and Yellow
stone railroad and the mines are looking.
The notion was acted upon without
minutes delay Hogg and Tyrwhitt were
soon living on steam wings To exploit the
great Wyoming development scheme.
Genie felt lonesome.
Il iust feel that idle, Elsie, could almost
kin time by blowing soap-bubbles or scrib-
bling editorials - She happened to have
no serious china painting pastire on the go
lust al that time.

You're Just i'll the right agony for-say-a
Lament of j -Ove-iorn Limnet-'
But how can you expect me to know
just how you are feeling. poor Elsie, DEAR
.'Oh. your own feelings. | mean, my darl-
ing. You can make it begin Ike this:
why O. why O. Wyoming. is he roaming
and Of course you'd suggest something
about homing.'
Those missing his fix ii as an English
song. my dear, and | sympathize with You

Then lct's make it a duet
That's good. Wyoming suits you well,
and If Idaho
