An Ugly Problem.

The farmers have an ugly pro blem
to deal with in what may be rightly
named the great packer conspiracy.
The way in which this great com bine
works to the detriment of the

and brought to successful issue bv

of the strongest reasons why this bill
should become law.

s.How It Happened, ;,

8 A rich man named q. Samuel was
the owner of two dogs named Dem
and Rep.
Dem was an ill-favored. ornery-
looking dog. but Rep was sleek and
fat
This was caused by their both being
fed from one dish. and Rep being the
stronger compelling Dem to subsist
upon the leavings.
One day. while Dem was patiently
waiting for Rep to finish gnawing q
bone a strange dog named Pop q
large gaunt hungry looking animal
OF the Clam Howler breed. boldly
entered the yard and began shifting
the bone.
hep was greatly enraged at This
1ndignlty and Immediately flew upon
Pop. evidently intending to chew
him up.
But Pop though little more than q
pup was something of chawer him
self and a fierce fight was the result
OF the encounter.
A. first Dem took part in the fight
oy biting vigorously whichever dog
was uppermost but toward the finish
he wisely withdrew, and Selling the
bone which Rep had dropped ran
away with it and buried it in a secure
place in the garden.
Meantime Rep. being so very fat
became badly winded. and when Fop
let go to get a better hold Rep in.
gloriously turned tail and ran into his
kennel.
Reps defeat and the buried bone.
especially the bone. caused Dem to
nearly 60 frantic with joy and he
spent the next five minutes racing up
and down. turning somersaults and
standing on his head with delight.
Then. wagglng his tail as it had
never wagged before. he said to Pop:
You have done me a good turn and
helped me lick bad dog. When YOU
want a similar favor of me call
around and you will always find me
IN. Now please go outside the ward
like good doggie and leave us to
ourselves
But Pop gave a low growl and re.

nose on his forepaws.

to the front porch where he could

The World Is One CITY.

It was but the other day that the
police of New York city discovered a
rat hole into which infants were Drop

to face hard world in which the de-
mon of want held them to life of

made at the other end of the globe.

REFORM.

The time has come when men with hearts
and brains
Must rise and take the misdirected reins
OF government, too long left IN the hands
Of tricksters and Of thieves. He who
stands
And sees the mighty vehicle of State
Hauled through the miro to some ignoble
fate,
And makes not such bold protest as he can,
Is NO American.

Recently at UmfulL Newfoundland,
a very rich gold mine was found I'M.
der old workings. from which the
ancient miners of this region must it
is thought have extracted large
quantities OF gold. Who were these,

were Arabs of period preceding the
birth of Mohammed. The ruined

GOOD WILL TOWARD CHINA
But the Exclusion Law Must Be Enforced
While Upon the Statute Books.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-In regard to the
account of the interview between Secre-
tary Gresham and the Chinese minister on
Monday last in which Secretary Gresham
was said to have told the Chinese minister
that the administration did not intend to
enforce the exclusion law, 1t Is said at the
state department that whatever the views
OF the president and Secretary Gresham
might be In the matter they would not
give assurance to the Chinese government
that q law would not be enforced while IL
remained on the statute books, and that,
therefore, the statement attributed to
Secretary Gresham was inaccurate. It Is
understood that Mr.. Gresham merely as
sured the minister of the good will the
United States felt towards the Chinese
government and hoped that tho question
of exclusion would be arranged in a salts
factory manner, 80 that the amicable re
atoms between the two governments
would not be disturbed.

The wierd blasts of Chinese horns, the deafeniuy tintinnabulation of ori- ental bells, the clangor of tom-toms and the dragon floating from the Joss house all Sunday afternoon and until after midnight, forced the thermometer up about seven degrees and gave notice that another Chinese holiday was being observed.
 Just what was the occasion of the racket does not seem to be generally understood. Joe Holland said it was a new memorial day sprung on him and Charley, of the Palace restaurant, who is supposed to be on the inside of most Celestial mysteries, was equally un- certain. Someone had told him it was Joss's birthday, which one he didn't know.
