WHEN THuRsER WAS SMALL.

An Incident OF the Eoyhood OF the Presi-
dent > Private Secretary.
Private Secretary Thurber has al
ways been Of a very inquisitiye turn Of
mind in all matters pertaining to re-
ligion. He will forsake a French novel
1t any time to discuss theology. His
research has been great, and he de-
lights In nothing so much as to rescue
some old divine whose mental eyesight
being dim has permitted him to stray
from the path and set him In the right
direction once more. Thurber feels that
the day in which he has performed such
a deed has not been wasted. His friends
expressed much surprise at his accept
ing his present office. Those who had
known him from childhood were sore
perplexed that one SO religious as he
should voluntarily venture into the de-
yyious path of politics. And their per
plexity continued until they were able
to appreciate the truth of his declara-
ton that he accepted the position be-
cause he believed it to be his duty TO his
country. They tell o story OF the first
recorded search Thurber made into
things pertaining to another life. He
was but a tot, scarce ont of petticoats,
but quite p~recocious withal.
The canary bird of a little friend had
died, and it had been buried In d tiny
coffin with much honor. Two or three
days later the owner OF the bird on
reaching the grave 70 drop her tears sur.
prised young Thurber before the grave,
which he had opened, and with the bird
in his hand.
why. Harry Thurber, she cried,
running up and shaking him, sswhatde

boy!"

An invoice of lit 900 bushels Of Rus
sian barley has been received ut New
York. Farmers have h~eretofore com-
peted with Russian wheat "in the mar
kets OF the world"-and went broke
while doing it-but here they have Rus
sian competition at their very doors,
thanks to the new tariff law. Dakota
farmers have also already discovered
that this same Russian barley is compel
ing with their own product in Milwau-
kee, at 40 cents a bushel and they don't
like it. Thanks to the new tariff law.

nomination for governor from the de

THAT DEMOCRATIC ENDORSEMENT

THAT DEMO0RATIC ENDORSEMENT.
The democratic committee appointed
to examine into the mental and political
status Of the populist Legislative candi-
dates of Lake county reports:
sYour committee finds that the popu-
list legislative candidates are sound and
in line with the democracy on he prin-
ciple points OF the democratic PLATFORM
and u~nalterably opposed to repub
licanism and Pettigrewism. Your COM
mittee finds that populist senators at
Washington have been to all intents and
purposes democratic in principle. Your
committee, therefore, recommends that
in view of the approaching senatorial
election, and the part which u Lake
county representatives may take in it,
that the democracy of Lake county en-
dorss the populist legislative and county
ticket and congressional ticket" etc.
Well, this is pretty straight evidence
of the chameleon character. Of t"our
friends, the enemy" First republicans,
then populists and now democratic, all
within a very few years. Anything TO
get oficel Democrats at heart, abusing
the democratic party on every stump,
electing democratic senators and at
tempting to elect democratic congress
men aud democratic county officers
What a medley of hypocrisy, raut and
barter. Devoid of principle, ~self-respect
or party honorl Who can vote for such
men and expect them 10 do aught else
than they have always done when placed
in power? Well may such men as Hugh
j. Campbell turn from the populist party
in disgust aud say it a never become a
national party. 1t has no national prin-
ciple to stand upon, elects democratic
senators as in the case OF Kyle and aids
in bringing on US all the miseries OF a
democratic national calamity and all the
disgraceful contentious and mal-odorous
administration OF local or state populist
government, IL there is astraight party
man, or man Of fixed principles. in any
party in Lake county he ought, out OF
self-respect, to vote against the conglom-

In a ship some veteran in that line
stands by her, and his name is given
merely to comply with the law. Not
once in six months has Ii been necessary
to change any of her orders, as she
knows every reef, shoal and current of
San Diego harbor.
Her talent il largely hereditary. Her
father is q veteran.of the seas, fought
for his country In the navy, has sailed
all seas as master Of big merchant ships
and now holds an important position In
the harbor of San Diego. The daughter
has lived all her life by the sea or ON 1t.
When in her teens, she could handle an
80 foot schooner in q stiff breeze almost
like a veteran and at length won the
highest honors of the profession. One
afternoon during o half gale from the
southeast q 8, 900 ton collier came in.
and the master, in his eagerness to
make port that afternoon, ran too close
before taking a pilot and found himself
about to be driven ON Zaningu shoal, off
the harbor mouth.
Miss Polhemus, being the only pilot
available at the time, oon reached the
collier. and after giving the captain her
opinion Of his carelessness in very forci-
BILE sailor English took the wheel, gave
orders TO shorten sail and soon had the
vessel ON another tack. This achieve
ment excited the enthusiasm of all che
pilots ON the coast. When Miss Polhe-
mus gets her pilots certificate, her fees
for bringing q vessel In will be % pen
