Beware the Mother-in-Law.

BABIES AND BIMErALLIsM.

Gov. Pennoyer. OF Oregon, has ad-
dressed a stirring Christmas letter to
President Cleveland. which, while It is
not likely to rival in popularity or In
widespread publicity the celebrated
story Of the night before Christmas.
when all through the house not a crea-
ture was stirring. nor scarcely mouse,
may yet have an important effect on
bimetallism and the National policy.
The Governor OF Oregon avails him
self of the day OF roast turkeys and
Christmas trees to remind the President
that the Legislature OF Oregon, great
as II is, is not as powerful In National
AFFAIRS as the two Houses of Congress.
and. while he has been frequently urged
to call that Legislature together to allie
viate the condition OF affairs and avert
impending calamity. he feels that the
President can do more even than a
Pennoyer In this direction. He there
fore urges Mr.. Cleveland to look upon
his sleeping babies In their couches,

their having sufficiency OF food and
clothing and as he tucks them up

This appeal to babies and bimetallism-
to cradles and free coinage-is as touch
ing as II Is timely. Who can predict
what its effect may be on our silver
legislation?

Patrick Ryan Of this town. q siioemai-
~. single. ~ years of age. has received
notice of the death OF his brother in Chi

II was early in 1910 that James Ryan,
then n yoaa- man. left Milford in COM
pany with Richard Quinlan and with
hundreds of others went 90 the golden
gate to seek their fortune in the gold
fields of California.
They remained there forseveral years.
but the mine they worked in. although
rich in ere. was far from healthy AID
was particularly bad for the eyes. 80
much so that young Eyan's eyes were
affected and he was forced TO come east
to have them attended to, for Inc was Il-
most blind.
Young Ryan recovered his sight after
few years. but the cast was rather
tame for him. and again 10 went west.
His second trip was to Colorado. The
Glvcr fever had Just broken out. and
Leadvillc was not known. Denver was
town Of few houses when James Ryan
arrived there with q companion. They
were not long prospecting before they
struck u minc that proved a great find.
They sold II for 100000. This was the
firs, big money that Ryan ever made.
although il was but small amount rs
compared with what he afterwartl made
in the mining world.
lie remained bu. silo-. time in Den
yer. when. in company with his partner.
they went to Utah. where they prospect
ed for nearly year. but were only s,,c-
cessful in getting small finds. They were
all about to bid Utah sco,lby when they
struci; traces of silver. the orc proving
the finest they ever met with.
The scam was followed and proved
better than they ever dreamed they
would sec. Iais was 10 other than the
Big Horn silver mine that they sold for
81. 100000.
The money was equally divided he
tween the partners. The money market
always had q chnrm for Ryan. and Ire
lost great deal among the bulls and
hears in Chicago. More than once lac
was tishsiysgueezed by old man Hutch
inson, vino was In his prime In those
days.
But the hidden treasure beyond the
Rockies had charms also for him that lac
coulJ not overcome. and after losing
what to many insn would bc called n
good sized fortune lac returned 20 his
old loyc Of adventure and prospecting.
