THE HONEYMOON AND A CHRISTMAS
ADVENTURE.
A New Method Of Bunting the Grizzly.
wintering In the Yosemite ValleJ-The
Neglected Christmas Dinner-A Nara
tive of Fact.
By 2. A. OBER-

By F. A. oBER
All our friends said we were foolish, and
really suppose we were-foolish in the
first place to fall in love; foolish to get
married, and. lastly, foolish to spend ou
honeymoon in the Yosemite.
Yes, they declared that to be the crown
ing act Of all our foolish deeds, and they
washed their hands and cleared then
skirts Of us entirely But, bless them, We
didn't care Alicia and l had fallen ir
love with each other just because WI
couldn't help it, and we didn't want t.
either-that is, we didn't want to "hcll'
it, And we cared not straw what ou:
friends thought or did so long as they lei
us entirely alone
And at the end of the week, when tho
others started for the return trip, we proved
the integrity Of our intentions by remain
ing behind 1t was then late in Septem-
ber, and soon, the guardian of the valley
told U.S. the first snowflakes would fly and
not long after the Yosemite would be
closed entirely to the outside world
"Ycs. indeedy," he said, There won't
be nobody in here except now and then a
logging team and whoever's left over. So
I'd advise you two to get out mighty soon. .
But we don't want to get out, l ex-
claimed, and my wife nodded her head
affirnatively 1--WE want to stay here all
winter. all alone.
"Yes. and don't you know Of some nico
little cabin we can hirep" asked Alicia
"Any kind of q hut will do, SO long as it
can be made warm and comfortable. We
want to stay all by ourselves.
"Shol You don sayl Yes, do know
of one It's that log cabin over the river
But it'll be awful lonesome, let me tell
you There won't be nobody but me
within milo and p'rhaps half dozen
fam lies scattered over the whole seven
mile stretch of the valley"
What Do you mean that darling little
log hut among the apple trees, with the
tiny flower garden in front and the river
flowing byp"
"That's the one. The man who built 1t
has gone east; staid here one winter, and 1t
was too lonely for him If you RELY want
it, can put you in possession at once. ;"
IF we want itl" exclaimed, ready
to hug the old man on the spot. And
Twas almost afraid Alicia would hug him
then and there, but she didn't, only her
eyes shone and she clapped her hands for
Joy.
why, we don't want anything else IN
this wide, wide world" she exclaimed
"It will be perfect, just too heavenly for
anythingr
"Well, guess you'll want little some
thing else" rcjoined the dear old man,
"some pervisions, for instance, fuel, and
the like.
At this sudden descent to sublunary and
substantial things our countcnances fell
We hadn't thought but that we could
live on air perhaps or on ambrosial nectar
We looked at each other doubtfully.
The old man noted our disappointment

the Day.
The establishment Of tho Christmas fcs
tival now the most joyous Of the yearly
holidays throughout the civilized world.
is the most recent in date Of the great
church days Its social and secular sig
nificance, of o,urse, followed its religious
adoption. Yet, curiously enough, it de.
rived its rites of merry making not from
Christianity SO much as from the customs
of the heathen world The rulers Of the
early church, from Constantine down,
were shrewd politicians They knew how
important it was to include as many as
possible of the old pagan usages and be-
liefs to which the people Of the Roman
empire had been attached in the observ'
ances Of the new faith. =.
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1897-08-20

AS previously stated by the RECORD,
Congressman Mesick has prepared and
submitted to Pension Commissioner Ev-
ans an exhaustive brief showing why
the rulings of Hoke Smith relative to
the pensions Of old soldiers should not be
set aside Commissioner Evans has de-
cided not TO make any ruling on the SUBJ
joct but to deal with individual cases re-
viewing each case on its merits as it ar
ises This practically amounts to vic
tory for Congressman Messick and the
old soldiers.
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1897-08-20

Even Senator Stewart who tried 10
deliver free silver speech here last fall
throws up his hands and acknowledges
that he knows whole lot more now
than he did when making his productions
all over the country that wheat and
silver would keep on even terms as they
rose and fell in the market But 1t took
a short crop i'll other countries and big
one in this TO convince the senator that
he was not wiser than the convention he
bolted. When the laws of nature take
q whirl at false theories, there is no use
in irving TO collect the remains of the
theories We wonder if his silver NINE
is still in his wife's name.
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1897-08-20

There are two pitiful hypocrisies i'll
the writing and talking of the free silver
advocates one Is the constant use of
the word "bmetallism' in sense III
which it is falsehood. The use Of gold
and silver by a single nation at the old
ratio without limitation is impossible
without Just such bimetallism as they
have in Mexico. The other hypocrisy
is to speak of the ''free-coinage of gold
and silver" as though there was any
thing the matter with gold. When an
intelligent man gables either of these
falsifcations, he is guilty of intentional
fraud.

1t is not true that anything that was
done by Congress in 1878 reduced the
value of silver In 1913 there was no
gold or silver in circulation, and, years
later, the first coinage by way of pre-
pairing for specie resumption was OF
subsidiary silver and then the silver
dollar coinage began at a rate unknown
in the history Of minis. twas necessary
20 fix a limit to this coinage in order not
todemonetize silver, for that was not done
but that gold might not be demonetized
The fall Of silver has been caused pri-
marily by the cheap production of the
Metal

II is simply folly for free-silver man
TO talk of himself as bimetallist when
tho actual ratio of the metal is 80 to /,
and the Democratic platform demands
that it shall be Is to /. An ounce of
gold will buy 36.6 ounces of silver i'll any
market in the world where silver is sold.
Free coinage of 44-cent dollars as 100
cent dollars would, of course, Danish
gold, except so far as it was boarded.
Now all gold not hidden is practically
III circulation. then none of it would be.
This is contraction to the extent of
the gold in use, aud having but one
metal, silver, is silver monometallism.
