MUCH HIGH TONED INJUNi


When the Nez Perez Indians re-
ceiyed their money from the gov.
ernment for the reservation lands
recently opened TO settlement, they
went, as is the custom of the red
man under such circumstances, at
once to the nearest town to spend
it. A large number went to Farm
ington, Wash, and were taken with
a craze for buying buggies and
wagons. One old Indian, having a
large allowance, could not find a
vehicle that seemed to him to COM
port with his wealth, but finally
wandered to the undertaken sta
bic, and Immediately fell in love
With the hearse, and wanted to buy
1T. The undertaken was astounded.
but, being a man Of business, sold
IL for good round sum. The In
dian loaded his squaw and popooses
into it, and climbing on the box
among the nodding plumes, drove
proudly back to the reservation,
the occupants lining up against
the plate plass sides in great state.
The Indian agent protested, but
the old man refused to give up his
state Garage, and he regularly
drives it to the neighboring towns
with his family or his dogs inside.

THE COMMON VEAL.
BY L. f. MRAcnAM


Tune, Goodbye My Lover Good Bye."
Times are hard and moneys scarce,
The factories are shut down
And hosts of men who want to work
Are loafing round the town;
Their children cry for bread to eat,
Their wives are starving too,
The landlords bowling at the door
Because the rent is due.
CHORUS.
But times will brighten,
Factories will run
When the Commonwealers
Get down to Washington.
The grocers and the market men
Won't credit any more,
For they say--and its true.
That TRUST can't run a store.
They mortgaged all their furniture.
They borrowed all they could,
But ere the winter months had gone
Twas spent for coal and wood.
Day after day they hunt.a job,
But everysplace they go
The bosses shake their heads and say:
There isn't any show"
The same old story evorywhere-
1t makes them wonder why
Things are not as they used to be
In the good old days gone by
We have no law to keep mensfrom
Thinking just as they please,
And every mans opinions como
From what he reads and sees,
SO when the papers tell them that
Its everywhere the same,
They say that surely something's wrong
That Congress is to blame.
Our Senators and Congressman
Are getting lots of pay,
And each one is indulging in
Three square meals day,
But 1T seems they are engaged
In some occupation
More important-to themselves,
Than good legislation.

JAP HEADS ARE SWElLED.

They Think They Have vaDguished the
Greatest Nation Oh Earth.
SAN Francisco, Aug. 5.-Congress-
man d. II. Mercer of Omaha is ON his
way home from pleasure trip to the
Occident. Mr. Mercer says that the
result OF his observations in Japan have
convinced him that political crisis is
imminent in that country. The masses
are restless and disconted with Count
Ito and the ministry, because of the
concession made to the European pow
ers. Russia is blamed by them more
than Germany and France for Japan S
REIMBURSEMENT OF Port Arthur and the
Lao Tung peninsula.
Think They Can Whip Anything.
The people believe that as China is
the largest nation in the world, and
therefore in their eyes the most formi.
dable, and was whipped by their coun-
try SO easily that the ministers are
wrong in giving up some of the fruits
Of victory at the command of Russia
Mr.. Mercer is confident that complica.
tions will ensue in the near future not
withstanding the policy pursued by
Count Ito. He says further that the
IMPRESSION prevails among people in the
Orient that Russia will before long
rain foothold in Korea. The situa-
zion, as a whole, on account Of the war.
like attitude of the Japanese people, is
rather menacing, in his opinion.
