WOULD NEVER, NEVER DO.

There's an army of us tramping. .
Don't you hear our staggering tread!
Yes, a million drunkard's stumbling
Toward the city of the dead.
And the preachers talk of Jesus,
And good tidings of great joy,
While the votes fall thick to license
The destroyer Of the boy.
In the mansion and the cottage
We have drained the poison bowl
But the christian voters are saying.
Give US money for soul.
And the smoking of their torment
Will forever rise, they say,
But to throw away ballot,
For million souls won't pay.
Put white lilies on the pulpit.
Shout hazannas from the pew,
But to cast vote for Jesus
That would never, never do.

Great God ! what demagogues
and rascals there are among us.
John A. Stewart, who heads the
syndicate to buy all of the govern
ment bonds, says he was actuated
solely to help the government. He
is simply co.conspirator, and for
him to pose as friend is worse
than the apostle who betrayed his
Master with a kiss. - Lawrence
World (Rep.)
Who is to blame--the buyer or
the seller? If it is right to sell, it
is right to buy. Who can blame a
man for making a good investment
when he has chance? If there is
any wrong, it certainly lies with
the ones who made it possible for
the bonds to be sold. Who did
this 4? Our representatives. The
question is then asked, (Which OF
our representatives was it-Demo-
Gratis or Republicans p The ones
who have been in power for several
wears past. This condition of az
fairs did not spring up in few days,
but has been growing for years.
We must lay the blame where it be-
longs. We sent representatives
whom we knew were in favor OF
sustaining the national debt, and
we, by doing SO, said that we were
in favor of paying the interest and
maintaining the men who own the
bonds. The remedy is to elect men
whom you know are in favor OF
paying the national debt, and not
extending it. Now, as we cannot
help the past, let us take care OF
the future, and never send man to
represent us without he will repre-
sent our principles.-Ot Bulle-

d Wood-Duck's Tomb.

At the farm of G. w. Hutchins, seven miles from Marysville, a bee tree was found near the east bank of Feather river, which was cut to obtain the honey. After the tree was cut down to the ground an investigation was instituted and the honey located in a hollow halfway be tween where it was cut and the top. On cutting open the body of the tree they secured about eighty pounds of honey, eleven duck eggs and dead duck. It appears that a wood-duck had formed a cavity through hole that was originally large enough to admit her body. After laying eleven eggs she had commenced setting to hatch them and while doing so the bees had filled the hole with comb, so that she could not get out and she died on the nest.-Red Bluff (Cal.) Democrat.

A Strange Sight.

One of the most amusing spectacles of the Columbian exposition was seen in front of the California building on the day of the state celebration. A free distribution of fruit had been widely advertised, and carloads of fruit had been sent-great luscious peaches, plums, pears, nectarines and half-yard punches of white Muscat grapes and flaming Tokays Great booths were erected outside the build ing, and dozen fine young California men, her best products, handed out fruit to vociferous, struggling, eager crowd for seven long hours. It was sight to be remembered. Sometimes the air was full of the larger fruits, which were tossed out among the crowd and promptly caught, but the punches of grapes had to be treated more tenderly. Hats, hands and bas- kets reached out for the generous punches, and hundreds came away bearing their well-fought-for burden to share with friends. On this occasion many had come from distant parts of the grounds.

Crime and Immorality.

The international pickpocket art is, in Europe at least, almost entirely car ried on by Roumanians, Servians, Bull garians, Russians and Galicians. They outrank in cleverness by far the once world-famous English and American professionals in that line. The in crease in all civilized lands of crimes against morality, religion, public peace and the government is mostly due to the socialistic wave which permeates all classes. While crimes and crim- inals will always exist as long as the world lasts, the next few centuries in their onward march of education and civilization will bring about marked decrease, and the criminal statistics and annals of the present time will read like fables to the people of that remote future.

DAsHINo A DUDE.
A Masher Who Could Not Stand a Girl

A Masher Who Could Not Stand a Girl
 with Sketch Book.
 Three decidedly attractive girls got on a Sixth avenue elevated train and immediately score of masculine eyes were leveled at them, says the New York Advertiser. The girls found seats together and tried to appear uncon- cerned and quite oblivious to the pro- nounced advances for irritation from two young swells who sat opposite. But all their efforts to appear at ease were unavailing. The young men per sisted and the girls blushed and looked uncomfortable.
 Finally one of the girls opened a small sketch book on her lap, and then raising her eyes she gazed straight at her admirer opposite. He petted his mustache and smiled. She made few strokes with her pencil in the sketch book, but did not smile. When she raised her eyes again he realized that she was sketching him. The other two girls watched the progress of the sketch and giggled. This, with the smiles of the other passengers, was more than the subject of the sketch could endure. He crossed and re- crossed his legs, pulled his hat down until it touched his nose, and at last rushed desperately into the next car. When he had gone the girls closed the unsettled pages of the sketch book and laughingly threw away the bit of pen cil, which, when picked up by another, proved to be quite devoid of lead.

Martha Mashingtop,s Slippers.

A curious memento of Charles Thom- son, the first secretary of the conti- mental congress, has just turned up in Lower Merton township, in Montgom- cry county, where he passed his declin- ing years. Catherine Scheetz, an old lady who lives in little frame house on Mill creek, treasures, among many relics of the revolution, lock of the distinguished statesman's hair. This came into her mothers possession soon after Thomson's death in 1924 and was handed down to Miss Scheetz as a precious heirloom. It has preserved it's original color, grizzleC white, to a wonderful degree. Miss Scheetz also has pair of white high-heeled slip pers which were once Martha Washing tons. The heels of these slippers would awe even the most experienced modern society belle, tapering off to about half-inch square at the bottom in their height of three inches.

sealipg wax St iu u.ea ln Franoe.

In France sealing wax has by no means gone out of use as conse- quence of the introduction of gummed envelopes. There is even a sort of code or language of sealing wax among ia shionable people. White sealing wax is chosen for communica- tions relating to weddings, black for obituaries, violet for expressions of sympathy, chocolate for invitations to dinner, red for business, ruby for en- gagged lovers letters, green for letters from lovers who live in hopes, and brown for refusals of offers of mar riage, while blue denotes constancy, yellow jealousy, pale green reproaches, and pink is used by young girls and gray between friends.

A BEARS REVENGE.
An old Grizzly Lies In Wait for the Pos
 sible TransgressOr.

An old Grizzly Lies In Wait for the Pos
 sible TransgressOr.
 Mir. Theodore Roosevelt, writing o1 grizzly bears in his book, 1.-The Wilder ness Hunter" relates story told him by Dr. Merrill, of the United States army. "A remarkable incident" Mir. Roosevelt calls it. Dr. Merrill, in company with an old hunter, was fol lowing an elk trail in a deep, narrow canyon.
 On turning a corner of the canyon, the two men were charged on by an old she grizzly, so close that it was only by good luck that one of their hurried shots disabled her and sent her tumbling over bank, where she was easily finished.
 They found that she had been lying directly across the game trail on a smooth, well-beaten patch of bare earth, which looked as if it had been dug up, reflled, and trampled down. Examining this patch curiously, they saw bit of hide only partially GOV cred at one end, and on digging they found the body of a well-grown grizzly cub. Its skull had been crushed and the brains licked out, and there were signs of other injuries.
 The hunters pondered long over this strange discovery, and hazarded many guesses as to it's meaning. At last they decided that probably the cub had been killed and it's brains eaten, either by some old grizzly or by cougar; that the mother had returned and driven away the murderer, and that she had then buried the body and lain above it, waiting to wreak her ven- geance on the first passer-by.

A CLEAR CASE OF BUNco.
Artifce Adopted Successfully by Negro
 Beggar of Panama.


 had just started from the hotel toward the market place, when I noticed an elderly darl5y, standing on the opposite side of the street, looking from one to another of the people go- ing in and out of the various entrances to the hotel. The moment his eyes caught mine his face lighted up, and with outstretched hand and smile he came hurrying across the way, says a correspondent of the New York Sun.
 "Fo' de Lawd, boss, I'se glad to see you. Pse been lookin' for you all this mawnin'."
 There was no refusing such a cor dial greeting. I shook hands and said:
 Looking for me? I don't know you. How did you happen to be looking for me?"
 How come I look for you? Pse gwine tell you. 'Co'rse you don't know me. I'se gwine tell you bout dat, too. rse been waitin' fo' you be- cause ain't had CT mouthful O coffee dis blessed mawnin'. rse on de beach an I'd jess like ter borry dime"
 It was clear case of Panama bunco, but there was such happy expression on his face-he so thoroughly enjoyed his little game and he worked it so wel-that there was no refusing him. Besides he is the most artistic mem- Der of great gang of peculiar negro beggars to be found on the streets of Panama. They are, without excep- tion, from the islands ruled by the British in the West Indies, and they beg only of English-speaking stran- gers. On every corner and on several blocks between corners, while walking to the market, met negro men. With out exception they bowed and touched their hats and said: ''Good mawnin', boss. I'se on de beach, sah. A dime, sah, if yo' please" 'On the beach, is equivalent to the American Ion his uppers," or 'dead broke"

A Hungarian Court.

The Hungarian prime minister has succeeded in reestablishing a royal court in Buda Pesth. Hitherto, when the emperor of Austria, as king of Hungary, came to.visit the capital of Hungary, he took his Austrian house hold with him. Henceforth the Hun- garian lords are to surround him upon all ceremonies in Buda Pestb, and they will also attend him at ceremonies in Vienna, side by side with theE Austrian counterparts.

INVITED TO HER SUICIDE.
A Chinese Woman Calls in Her Friends
 to Witness Her Adieu.

Chinese Woman Calls tn Her Friends
 to Witness Her Adieu.
 Mir. Medhurst, for many years British consul at Shanghai, tells of g singular s'card of invitation" which, says the Million, he once received in China. 1t was from lady, intimating her inten- tion to commit suicide at a specified date. She was very young and attrac- tive, and belonged to- a wealthy family; but the Chinese gentleman to whom she had been aftianced from childhood, having died just before the date fixed upon for their nuptials. she gave out that she deemed it her duty to render her widowhood irrevocable by dying with her betrothed. So she sent cards around to the local gentry giving no tice of her purpose.
 No attempt was made by her rela- tives or the local authorities to frus- trate her design, though MT. Medhurst appealed to the mandarins, the gen eral opinion being that she was about to perform meritorious act. Eventu- ally. on the day named, the woman did deliberately sacrifice her life in the presence of thousands of spectators. A stage was erected in the open fields, with tented frame over it, from which was suspended slip of scarlet crepe. One end of this slip she fastened round her neck, and then, embracing little boy presented by one of the bystanders, she mounted chair and resolutely jumped off, ''her little clasped hands saluting the assemblage as her body twirled round with the tightening cord"
 The woman was not bounded on by a frantic mob, as was the practice at suttees in India, but immolation ap- peared to be an entirely voluntary act. Sacrifices of this kind, according to MT. Medhurst, are not uncommon in certain districts of China, and, strange to say, they are rewarded with monu ments, sometimes erected by order of the emperor.

WALKING CLUBS FOR GIRLS.
Keeping Up in the Fall the Athletic Prac-
 tices of Last Summer.

tices of Last Summer.
 Walking clubs are the popular fad through September and October. One very exclusive club which was formed in St. Louis recently consists of eight members. Athletic girls they are who have been at the seashore and mountains all the summer. They were restless when they reached town for outdoor exercises, so the club was immediately started. It meets once a week on Friday afternoons. The plan is that each week a different walk shall be taken. In describing the walking costumes, the Post-Dispa:ch says they were very sensible gowns, indeed. One was a brown cheviot made with full plain skirt, trimmed around the bottom with four rows of black and gilt braid With this was worn waistcoat of scarlet broad cloth, glistening gilt buttons, and over it loose three-quarter length jacket. This was elaborately braided and made with revers and epaulettes over the shoulders. At dinner the coat was re- moved and little Eton jacket of the cheviot, with scarlet sleeves, substi- tuted. An extremely novel hopsack- ing gown was also present. It was black, the skirt trimmed with two rows of guipure insertion over lining in the new blue shade. The baby waist tucked iD beneath a belt. It was made with deep yoke of the in sertion. which showed very plainly it's silk lining. A jaunty little cape in black, with wide guipure revers, com pleted the costume.
