Poor Eiris.

The poorest girls in the world are
those who have never been taught to
work. There are thousands o mem:
Rich parents have petted them; they
have been taught to dispise labor,
and depend upon others for a living,
and are perfectly helpless. The most
forlorp and miserable woman on
earth belongs to this class. 1t be
longs to parents to protect their
daughter from this deplorable condi-
ton. They do them a great wrong
if they neglect it. Every daughter
should be taught to earn her own
living. The rich as well as the poor
require this training. The wheel OF
fortune rolls wiftlyaround-the rich
are very likely TO become poor, and
the poor rich. Skill to labor is no
disadvantage to the rich, and is in
dispensable to the poor. Well-to-do
parents must educate their daughters
TO work; no reform is more imperative
than this.

Convention.
Denver. Col, July 12.-Iu marked
contrast with the fiery u~tterances III
the silver convention yesterday was
the address adopted to-day.
The report from the committee on
resolutions was in the form Of an ap-
peal to the United State, asking their
calm and candid consideration OF the
facts relating to silver mining and
the attempt to demonetize silver.
The address contains 1000 words
and embodies no such threatening
language as was uttered by the Gov
ernor in his speech.
In closing, the address says:
Hopeful of speedy delivery from the
crushing burden of a financial system
begotten of the greed Of Great Brit
aims remorseless money power, and
the prosperity inseparable from an
American system, which includes
free coinage of gold and silver at the
American rates of sixteen to one, we

AN ISLAND OF HIS OWN.

A Pacific Coast Man Who Owes No AL
legience Save TO Himself
The people Of Olympia, Wash, and
residents OF neigh boring points know
of a lost island that is actually lost
50 far as the government records are
concerned, says the San Francisco
Chronicle. It is known to steamboat
captains and people in the neighbor-
hood as Steamboat island. because of
it's resem blance to a big steamboat
Instead Of being lost to sight this Is
land has really lost it's identity. Ac-
cording to a frank admission of the
land department. this island is not
under the control of any known gov
ernment. This discovery was made
by q man by the name OF E. Brun-
SON, who squatted on the island
about three years ago and then
sought to file on the land as a home
stead He was sent from one point
to- another trying to get it surveyed,
but met with nothing: but disappoint-
ment at each turn. At length, after
wearisome delay, the department at
Washington sent word that it. had no
knowledge Of any such piece: Of land
withint the borders of the United
States. Brunsom ontinues to- squat
and now deties' the powers that be, to-
GUST HIM He: is, bachelor and is,
the sole resident of the island. which,
contains about six acres. He: has a,
small ranch, where he raises garden
truck, ETC., and lives. as independent
| ly as any of the proud potentates Of
Europe. At; low tide Brunion can
reach the mainland along: d, low spit
of sand, but when the water comes in.
he is cut off from ALL communication,
with the outside world except by
boat. This miniature kingdom Is
about twelve miles from Olympia, at
the intersection Of Big Skookum and.
Oyster bays. According to Brun7
sons first unders landing his
kingdom was just over the line
in Mason county. It seems,
however, that the middle of the
channel is counted as the dividing
line in the bays Of Puget Sound, and
by this Brunson's> kingdom is in
Thurston county. The question of
taxation is now in dispute. Brun-
sou refused to pay his poll tax to
Mason county on the ground that his
island was not subject to any gov
eminent and that he was literally a
law unto himself. This seems to be
the generally accepted view of the
case. Some of his neighbors joked
him about his principality, and he
remarked that he chad a good notion
to run up the British flag and take
possession in the na1ne of Queen
Victoria. " 1t has been sugge sted
that if he should sell whisky within
the borders Of his kingdom he would
soon find out who owned the island.
Since he pays no taxes his right to
vote is called in question. Accord
ing to latest accounts Brunson was
disposed to favor TIL urston county
with his vote. The case is quite in
teresting and has provoked no little
discussion among the inhabitants OF
the sound.

Fruit Growing on the Farm.

s
Joshua Wheeler, before the Kansas
state board Of agriculture, read a pa
per on the above subject, Of which
the following is an extract:
We think with all the advantage of
past experience with the facilities Of
this day for obtaining fruit, the farm
err is without excuse that neglects to
plant all kinds, at least sufficient to
give an abundant supply for the use
of the home. We think there is
profit in fruit raising.
We would not advise every man to
plant what is called a commercial or
chard, although large orchards in
many parts of the state have been
good investments. 81 81
We believe where man has the
taste and skill for fruit growing,
