THE WHIsTLING MARMOT.
He Bears Not the slightest Resem-
biance To the PopuIist.


To the Editor: l confess il was with no
little surprise that l read in this morn
ing's Post-IntelIigencer that some Eastern
Journal had made the mistake OF con-
founding a ''whistling pig and a Popu-
list and ascribed the habitat Of the for
mer 10 the plains of Kansas instead OF
the mountains Of Washington. The dis
tance between the TWO localities is great
e. than are the points OF divergence be
tween these TWO animals / have OFTEN
heard mountain men talk OF the ''whls-
tiers in the Icicle mountains, but while
j have made good many trips up the
Icicle river. / never had the fortune 10
see or hear one until the present season.
When nearing the snow line near Mount
Stewart We were greeted with a long.
shrill whistle. not unlike that with which
the average school boy gives expression TO
doubt or sudden surprise. and readily
conjcctured that Il came from the long
lookei-for " whistler" Although rather
plentiful in that locality. IL was several
days before one succumbed 10 the per-
suasiye influence of my Winchester and
gave me an opportunity for close in
spection. as they are far more shy than
Is the ordinary Populist.
II Is usually difficult to approach within
go yards Of A whistler as he sits in his
usual place on top OF big rock. for he
will apparently turn a somersault after
-
pear into his hole. He is a rodent. in size
and appearance between a ground hog
and a badger. and partaking somewhat
Of the characteristics of both. but he ap-
parently has little in common with the
average Populist. While my acquaintance
with the one is rather limited, with the
other IL is rather extensive. so / think I
am enabled to indicate many points of
difference.
In the first place they are of different
genera; the one being a quadruped Of the
genus Arct0mys, the other a biped of the
genus Homo. The habitat of the one is
high UP in the mountains. near the line
OF perpetual snow, that of the other on
the street corner. The habits of the one
are solitary. those OF the other grega-
rious From the holes and tunnels dug by
the one ii is evident he works principally
with his paws. while the work Of the
other. as is we'll known. is done principal
~ with his mouth. The one utters no
sound save a shrill whistle the other
walls and howls. The one is seemingly
content with the world as he finds it,
while the other Will never be content
until he can reconstruct it, These are
some points Of difference that present
themselves 20 PROSPECTOR.

RABBI BLUM IS BACK
He Went to New York and Not San
Francisco
The Reverend Gentleman Says He Has Been
Grossly Sianderel ana Someone
VIII Have to Suffer

Rabbi A. Blum arrived home on Sun
day night and yesterday he was securing
the town seeking to run down the charges
affecting his character which have been
made against him during his absence
from the city. Dr.. Blum has been to
New York, where he vert to visit his
mother. He denies the allegations affect
ing his morality which have been mad g,
and has retained legal talent to prosecute
those who have been slandering him.
DR.. Blum thinks that his enemies acted
in most cowardly manner in setting
sfoat the various stories affecting him
while he was several thousand miles
away and COLD not defend imself. Mr..
Blum told a Herald reporter W tsterday
that he would gladly court any investi-
cation into his character. In fact, he
will insist that such an investigation take
place.
''As for my accent said he. "the
board of education ought to have con-
sidered that before any contract to teac b
French was signed. The other stories
about me are deliberate lies and ISLANDERS

ers who will have to eat their state.
