CARVED ON THE MOUNTAIN
An Inscription Sixty-Four Years Old
From Byron.

An Inscription Sixty-Four Years Old
From Byron.
Judge H. A. Sharp spent q day this
week on Shades Mountain, near Ok
moor, says the Birmingham News,
and to while away d few idle moments
he memorized an inscription cut in q
large rock on top of the mountain and
near Farrar's Cave.
The letters were clear cut, but COW
cred with moss. The inscription is a
quotation from Byron, and the date.
1927" is shortly after the time Byron
wrote it. At the bottom of the quota
ton is carved the names, Thomas W.
Farrar and Seraphine Farrar.
Here is the quotation:
To sit on rocks, to muse DER flood, and fell,
To slowly trace the forests shady scenes,
Where things that know not mans do
minion dwell,
And mortal foot hath meier or rarely been.
The quotation is incomplete, and the
following is the remainder:
To roam the trackless desert all unseen,
With the wild fiocks that never need a
fold
This is not solitude, 'tis but to hold con-
verse with NATURES self,
And view her stores unroll.
TIE quotation is from Byron's

cara of One Famip, >,

In the light of recent events it APP
pears that at last the partisan leaders
have got together, fully realizing that
the farmers movement was not a politi-
cal annex to either of the old parties.
The Democratic editors and bosses met
in Topeka this week and made their
last will and testament or farewell adj
dress, and bravely stated that they
would not have any fusion in theirs,
Notwithstanding the amusing fact that
nc one had asked them to fuse. And
the Republican press had generally pub-
lished the fact that all that was left Of
the Kansas Democracy was the editors
and their bosses.
The result of this last rally of the
remnants of the Democratic party gives
great joy to The Daily Capital, the off
cial organ of the Republican party,
which says: ''The Capital congratplates
its esteemed contemporaries of the Dem
ocratic press for their address issued
yesterday from Topeka. They are done
with the third party, and there is no
such word III the bright lexicon of Kan
sas Democracy as fusion In opposi-
ton to the calamity foe, Democrats and
Republicans are of one family in Kan
sas."
The Capital then gives brief interviews
with the different remaining landmarks
OF the Democracy. and they are now
ready to strike hands (they don't believe
in ~fusion) with the Republicans to knock
out the farmers movement.
1t seems that both Democrats and Re-
publicans have at last had a sudden
awakening, a la Ingalls,, and now ap-
parently realize for the first time that
the masses of the people propose to have
a new deal, and these old party cham
pions of obsolete ideas are out of date,
have become a back number, and are to
be placed on the shelf as 4 relic of an
ti0uity, because they have failed to re-
deem their promises to the people and
are altogether out of touch with the
masses and legitimate business interests
of the country. Political parties are
supposed to be q public necessity, but
when they get out Of sight Of the people
and business interests that they should
benefit, decay is inevitable.
Now if they will only get together on
resubmission, this happy family will be
forever united until death, which is not
far distant. And surely there will be nc
rest for these valiant partisans until
death, because they have proclaimed
that they are a unit hereafter to try tc
down this farmers movement, and thus
they sound their own death knell. Kan
sas Farmer.

Yuan Hsing~fu, who recently re

there invitations to skip and posture

Tho "pig of the ssns.,es.'

In Ireland the lizard is called s.aire
fuichair," which, literally translated,
means 1.-THE pig of the rushes." 1t is
held in great esteem for its curative
powers. When caught the person
who is anxious to receive the curative
power takes the aire luichair in his
hand and ticks the creature all over
head, feet, belly, legs, sides and tail;
and the tongue of the person who thus
ticks the aire luichair is said to ever
afterwards possess the power of
taking the pain and sting out OF q
burn. The aire luichair crawling
across the throat Of one suffering with
quincy or the hands of a person who
has licked or even recently handled
one of the. little creatures is thought
to be a sovereign remedy for that dis
ease. There is also a prevailing
idea that the aire luichair is always on
the watch to crawl down the throat of
any person who happens to fall asleep

An Unexplored Region Said to Exist liz
the State of Washington.
An old friend, who has just returned
from a town of the new Western
States, tells me, says a writer in the
st. Louis Republic, that there is an I'M
explored region in the State of Wash
ington which is as little known as the
interior of Africa. 1t is the country
shut in by the Olympic mountains and
includes an area of about 9, 500 square
miles, being some 400 miles greater in
extent than the whole state Of Della
Are
This trackless waste, to the positive
knowledge of old residents Of the
state, has never been trodden by the
foot of man, white or Indian. The
mountains mentioned rise from the
level country to within ten or fifteen
miles of the Straits Of San Juan de
Fuca, and, towering to a height OF
6 1000 to 8, 900 feet, shut in this vast
u%nexplored area.
The Indians fear the spot as the
Javans do their Poison Valley" and
say that no man, white or red, can
cross the great basin enclosed by the
Olympic mountains and live to tell the
story of his explorations. But the at
mosphere Of this American wonder
land is not poisonous, neither is the
tangled Jungle the home of wild, fierce
beasts or dangerous serpents; the In
dams simply claim that it is inhabited
by a race of men which are so fierce
that no representative Of the white or
red mans nations could stand before
them for a moment. Being unexplor-
| ed, no one can even guess at what the
physical aspect of this great silent
wilderness is. The most generally
accepted theory in regard to it is tina,
it consists of great valleys stretching
from their inward slopes of the noun
tains to a great central basin.
This theory is supported by the fact
that, although the country around has
abundant rain, all Of the streams flow
ing towards the four points of the
compass are insignificant, and rise
only on the outer slopes OF the range,
none appearing to drain the great
tract shut in by the mountains. This
fact supports the theory that the
streams flowing from the inner slopes
OF the mountains feed a great interior
lake. But what drains the lakeP Il
must have an outlet; can it be thai
this outlet is through a su~bterranear
river which empties into the ocean,
strait or. soundp
Evidently there is room for much
exploration and a chance to make
many new discoveries in W~ashington's
great .unexplored regions"

enemies OF the people is then forced
home by the editor in these words:
There r many troubles that can
Fovertake the Alliance that are far worse
than defeat. "A defeat which results
from a contest v e a principle simply en-
courages the true hearted to greater
effort and usually brings a victory in the
end. But a battle won on wrong prin-
ciples or through unfair means is a dis
aster to any just cause, no matter in
what light it may be considered. II the
Alliance cannot successfully contend for
its principles in a manly, honorable and
honest manner, it had better go down.
and that at once.
Let the contest, therefore, be made
openly. Let no entangling concessions
be entered into. There is no middle
ground between right and wrong. There
can be no compromise between organ
lied good and organized evil. If the
principles of the Alliance are just, if the
cause of the farmer is well founded, if
the fight against plutocracy is right, let
there be no concessions, no side tracks,
no swaying to the right or left; but. in
stead, let each take courage from pres
ent indications and stand together
against a common enemy upon the broad
platform of equal rights to all and spe-
cial privileges to none.'"

PROTECT OUR BREAD.

The machinery of the law has not been put to work
TOO speedily against the fraudulent use of ammonia and
alum in Baking Powders. Both health and the pocket of
the people are demanding protection. The legislatures of
New York, Illinois and Minnesota have taken this matter
of adulteration up, and especially that of Baking Powders.
It Will be in the interest of public health when their sale
is made a. misdemeanor in every State in the UNION, and
the penalties of the law are rigidly enforced. There is no
article of human food more ~wickedly adulterated than that
Of Baking Powder.
Dr.. Prices Cream Baking Powder is the only pure
cream of tartar powder having a general sale that is free
from ammonia, alum or faint of any kind of impurity. It
makes the sweetest and lightest bread, biscuit and cake
that are perfectly digestible whether hot or cold. 1t costs
more to manufacture DR.. Prices than any other baking
powder. 1t is superior to every other known and the
standard for forty years.
Dr. Prices Cream Daking Powder is r.
ported BY all authorities as free from Ammonia,
Alum, or any ether adulterant. Ii fact, the
purity Of this ideal powder has never been ques-
