Meteors Nearer Home.

The talk of red-hot rock from unknown
regions falling in Arizona recalled the fact
to w. M. de Witt that an aerolite is buried
in the middle of the road near the Woody
House, just east of Tulare. If we ever
knew this we had forgotten it and it may
be news to others. Mr.. de Witt says it fell
about three years ago, his boys seeing it.
In its descent it scared team and caused
runaway. The thing was a good-sized
rock, like limestone or basalt, and buried
itself in the hard road. Some pieces were
taken home, and he fully intended to re-
turn and dig up the whole heavenly WIS.,
itor, but before he was ready to unearth
it, road graders came along and covered it
entirely. 1t is still there, no doubt, if
anybody wants it.-Tulare Register.

for what lies beyond. And the prudent
leader of men, whether he be savior
striving to lift his fellows upward or a
demagogue seeking only personal. ag-
grandizement, must adopt the same means.
Herein we have an explanation of the
power welded by an orator. His task is
not so much to impart facts as to persuade
to action. The information that he offers
is intended to convince his hearers of the
business of his appeal, and can in no wise
be omitted. But it is not information
that makes the orator. The fire and force
of language that stir the blood and rouse
the sleeping energies of the soul leap only
from a heart uukindled by desire. Nor
can any simulated enthusiasm produce
the same effect, though for season de-
ceitful phrases may allure. There is a
certain contagion in thought and feeling
aye, even in character, that tends to like.
ness, and forbids that sturdy impulses
shall be generated by pretenses, except it
be by sort OF reflex action, as when the
presence of disease urges US to hygienic
precautions. Time furnishes the true
test. A false note will not long vibrate in
the heart, while the voice of truth re-
sounds in an undertone through all the
din of life.
Mobs are stirred by appeal to prejudice
and passion. 1t is swift fire that burns
with fury, but soon dies out. Lasting i'm
pressions are not made that way. The
permanent part of mans nature is inteIli-
gence, that calm perception of truth which
regards ideas and events in wholly dis
passionate way. Conscience is its guiding
light, and its desires are for the attain
ment OF lasting good. While mere physi-
cal magnetism, by its warmth, may stir
the passions of crowd, 1t leaves the inner
Judge IN each untouched. When the
storm OF emotion has swept by it is he who
makes final decision and who suffers or
enjoys the result of action. 1t may then
appear that the passion was temporary

own tents and supplies. They live in
comm on and hired cooks prepare meals
for the entire party. All dine at one
large table. In the evening camp fires are
lighted and the time is given over to songs
and stories.
At the first streak of dawn the camp is
astir and after breakfast the hunters and
dogs are off. The hunt ers number from
twenty to twenty-five, while about dozen
hounds are used. The same mum Der of
men and dogs are left in camp as re-
serve, to be used in case the deer Is hard to
run down.
Monday morning at daybreak the dogs
were started to work in the hills west of
camp overlooking Little Paradise Valley.
Three deer were started by Mr.. Hageman,
and the pack was soon in hot chase. After
about four hours hard work the buck was
brought down by Jesus Aceves. This was
the deer of the hunt. The animal was
dressed and loaded on horse and start
made for camp, where they received a
noisy and joyous welcome.
Tuesday morning the hunters, headed
by Vic Poncelet and Dave Bulmore, were
off In a northwesterly direction toward
tuo AlmdUeH MUS. rOur DUCKS were
jumped up, and the baying of the hounds
soon told that the chase was hot one.
The first buck, three pronged
one, was killed by Ed Northam
of San Jose. Mr.. Patti also laid
claim to the deer, he and Northam
having fired at the same time. After ex-
haustive arguments ON both sides it was
conceded by ali that the game was
Northam's. Clemente Argues bagged the
next deer fine fat yearling. The shot
was pretty one, being at remarkably
long range. The third, prime two-year-
old buck, was brought down by George
Millais of Gilroy. The party then headed
for camp, with the splendid record of three
deer in one day.
The hills east of camp were worked
Wednesday morning and soon the dogs
were away after three deer. One was
chased right through the camp and caused
much CONSERVATION. The deer was badly
wounded and proceeded up the creek to a
ranch house, where the family drove off
the dogs and captured the game.
Thursday three deer were started in the
hills toward Almaden.
This morning Sunday will be the prin-
cipal chase of the hunt. 1t is expected
that at least $50 hounds will be securing
the hills in all directionssat sunrise. A
return to camp will be made at noon and

Barrooms are his special delight, and

have occurred where everything breakable
was smashed and the crowd took to its
heels without paying for the damage when
the warning bell of the engine told that
the train was about to start.
Dugan stood one invasion of this kind
and then looked around for a remedy
other than the shotgun, which he was
tempted to use. The result OF his delibera-

looked at the front door, and there to his
amazement saw the som ber Grape that IN

"John Dugan, there is no one dead"
he began.
"Hold your tongue, Tim Cronin," inter-

this time the train was at standstil, and
q crowd of already intoxicated young
fellows jumped from the train and made
a rush for Dugan's place.
They were almost at the door before

back in awe. One glance at that settled it,
and they wandered sadly and thirstily
away to look for refreshments and trouble.
When the bell of the engine announced
that the train was about to pull out,
Dugan took down the Grape, opened the

forty years ago. Many of the men now in

long by half mile wide on the east bank
of the Twas. The grounds are dotted
with huge oaks, whose protruding arms
form massive canopy, from which hang
massive portieres of Spanish moss.
The hills to the west of the camp are
nearly free from underbrush. Clumps of
oaks and other trees afford natural hid
ing places for the deer. Taken all in all,
the spot on the Twas is as natural a deer
park and as ideal a spot for camping as
could be found in the State.

The camp this year has been larger than
heretofore, the sport has been better than

the party will separate with the firm de-
termination of being present at the annual

A Good
Yarn From Newark

John Dugan, the genial proprietor of
the Newark Hotel, at Newark, which is
on the narrow-gauge road running out of
Alameda to San Jose, has discovered way
to circumvent the picnic hoodlum, the
terror of the country folk whose domain
he invades when he goes on the summer
Sunday picnic.
The picnic trains generally stop at New
ark for water and then the hoodlum places
himself largely in evidence.

SAN {. SIN PS0N

Never an earth-born branch before
ne weight OF such weird fruitage bore
Bore through the night, while beading dews
heir chrism to that cold brow refuse
And tell their ros'ry o'er and o'er.
Great Syrian stars look sofIy down
Upon the proud embatted town;
And Jewish maidens, dreamy
Sang songs of love- sang low and sighed
That love, love only, was Iife's crown.
And when the moon came, goIden-plumed,
With Orient rose and myrrh perfumed,
The tree that bore black Judas there
Had died of horror and despair
The sinless by his sin consumed.
Behold the dead borne by the dead,
A mirace!" with awe they said;
And went their old accustomed ways
Till in the storm of coming days
That chill of death had wider spread.
If this were ALL 'twere better so,
And all the years would brighter flow;
But, 10! we pause and think of this,
That in that one betrayal kiss
Was caught and sown a world of woe.
Of mans whole treason was the reek,
And thence repelled for aye became
A plague and red consuming flame,
Whose trail is ashes, gray and bleak.
The tickle maiden's rose-sweet lie
When lips meet lips and wild doubts die
The faithless wife's serene caress,
The very balm of blessedness,
None can evade, none can deny.
The treachery of statesmen great,
The blacker wrongs that stab the state
False friendship, aye, and everywhere
The masks that fawning traitors wear
Are Judas-fowers, blooming late.
Fen here while politicians rage,
Empurpled by the sunset age,
Betrayal lips, with flying foam,
Are desecrating hall and home
And lie to lie throws down the gage.
And thus, 0 tree, by Hinnom's vale,
Whose silence is a sadder wall,
We share the blight that ruined thee
Iscariot's kiss and curse have we,
And Fate goes by stern-browed and pale.
Gone are the splendid courts of ease,
But still, from brimmng chaces,
The Syrian stars pour forth their gold
And watch it with joy untold
Flow over long-hushed agones.
Gone, long gone, the Temples throng,
The concubines, the wine and song,
And yet, though far, 0 fateful tree
Thou teachest how with truth may be
The immortality of wrong.

'Look upl" The guide tawny hand
Thrust toward the gloomy cliffs that stand
In weary silence, rent and pale,
O'er Hnnom's sad historic vale,
The Niobe of Holy Land
"On yon lone tree"-thus spake the guide
"Sef-hung, the chief of traitors died"
Clean-cut against the matchleSs sky
That nurtured youths sweet destiny
1t cast its gnarly branches wide.
To dragomen sometime the spell
Of truth comes not from her deep well.
But sometime on that solemn crest
Pallid with waiting, all unblessed,
The true tree stood, the deed befell.

schedules.

During the last five years there have
been 43,S02 homicides in the United
States-an average of 1917 per year.
In the same time there have been 723
legal executions and Ills lynchings.
These figures are interesting and sug-
gestive. They show, to begin with,
that murder is a more frequent crime
than is generally understood, and that
it is increasing instead of diminishing.
II the last year, lO,5OO persons were
killed, or at the rate of S75 per month,
whereas in 1890 the number was only
1890, or less than half as many as in
1898. 1t is not to be supposed that the
people are now twice as bloodthirsty
as they were five years ago. or that
provocations of murder have been null
tiplied to that extent. There must be
some other reason for this startling
proof of the growth of the worst crime
in the calendar. 1t is to he found, UNI
questlonably, in the statistics which
tell how the murderers have been dealt
with. Only ls4l of them in all have
paid the death penalty, and only 72S
of these -one in sixty Of the whole
number-have been thus punished in
regular way and according to the
forms of law. There have been more
lynchings than legal executions in
each Of these five years, aud the fact is
one OF evident general significance.
1t will not do to claim that the
courts have done their duty when so
many murderers have been allowed to
escape; and to this direliction the
lynchings are largely due. But there
Is another point in the matter that is
of still more Importance as an expla-
nation of this lamentaple state of
things. There Is decided and grow.
ing pubic sentiment against the death
penalty, and 1t influences the action of
courts and juries in murder trials of.

The people voted for change and it
is hardly to he expected that they
want it along the line of further re-
striction of the currency as proposed in
the Presidents message. The drift of
public opinion in congress seems to he
in favor of a return to tariff duties
which will provide revenue to meet
the expenditures of the government,
and revival Of the reciprocity treaties.
