A GREAT HUNTING OUTFIT.
The Extensive Retinue of the Khan oi

| The Extensive Retinue of the Khan OF
| Tartary.
| The emperor hath two barons who
are own brothers, one called Baian,
and the other Mingan; and these are
styled Ohinuchi (or Cunichi. which is
as much as to say: ''The Keepers of the
Mastiff Dogs" Each of these brothers
hath 10000 men under his orders; each
body of 10000 being dressed alike, the
one in red and the other in, blue, and
whenever they accompany the khan to
the chase, they wear their livery, in
order to be recognized. Out of each
body of 10000 there are 1000 men who
are each in charge of one or more
great mastiffs, 50 that the whole num-
ber of these is very large. And when
the prince goes a-hunting one of those
barons, with his 10000 men and some
thing like 5000 dogs, goes towards the
right, whilst the other goes towards
the left with his party in like manner.
They move along, all abreast of one
another, SO that the whole line extends
over full days journey, and no an
imal can escape them. Truly it is q
glorious sight to see the working of the
dogs and tih.. huntsmen on such an oc-
casion! And as the khan rides a-fowl-
ing across the plains you will see these
big hounds coming tearing up, one
pack after bear, another pack after q
stag, or some other beast, as it may hap,
and running the game down, now on
this side, now on that, so that it is
really most delightful sport and
spectacle
The two brothers I have mentioned,
writes Noah Brooks in St. Nicholas,
are bound by the tenure of their office
to supply the khan court from Octo-
ber to the end of March with 1000
head of game daily, whether of beasts
or birds, and not counting quails; and
also with fish to the best of their abil-
ity, allowing fish enough for three
persons to reckon as equal to one head |
Of game.

A butler who had been 25 years il
the same family went one morning tc
his master and said that he wanted tc

master, much astonished, asked what
his reason was.

his patience, you've been long time

"Well, SIR" said the butler, finally, "if
you must know, it's all along of the
missus. It's nag, nag, nag from morn
ing to night, and can't stand it any
longer"
His master sighed and then said, SOL

A LEADING QUESTION.
Why Not Buy Where You Can Get Best
Values for the Least Money?

Why Not Buy Where You Can Get Bes
Values for the Least Money?
There is no necessity of spending
time running around over town pric.
ing goods when you know you can get
the very best quality at the lowest pos
sible price at the Great Northern fur
niture store. There you Will find one
price the year round, and that price is
right down to bedrock. just as low as
is consistent with living profits.
To do unto others as they would be
done by, to live and let live, and.to sell
goods so cheaply that customers will
always come back are the three mot
toes established by the managers of
the store. There is no need of going
to Portland for furniture or house
furnishing goods when such reasonable
prices are to be had right here in The
Dalles, nor is there any call for using
old, worn out furniture when new
goods can be had at such reduced fig.
ures. Call at the Great Northern
Furniture Store and get prices on steel
ranges, cook stoves, heaters and all
manner of household goodsx

The right to be cussed fool
Is safe from all devices human"

What right Lowell had to state such
an axiom is little enigmatical. He
wrote English as it is spoken in New
England and took a Yankee view OF
things, and probably saw men and
characters in O different light from
that in which we are now accustomed
to view them. ''rhe right to be
cussed fool'' is not pre-empted like the
Klondikc gold diggings or Uncle Sans
| eminent domains, but is held in COM
mon rs C. N. HolforG says the priries
of the Cherokee Nation ara, where
every white man has right to marry
| q sauaw and make "whistle out OF
| pigs TAIL" if he wants to. So he mar
| ries an Octaroon, half blood or full
| blood sGuaw-''child of the Forest
takes her to his wigwam-enters more
land, goes to raising wheat and little
brown Cherokees, Chocktaws, or what
ever the seed may produce, and makes
"cussed fool'' of himself" At this
kind of amalgamation the nation en-
courages and promotes till you nlether
have white man, Indian or niger
to till the land or build up the towns.
The father turns from his twany snake
eyed progeny with the same feelings
the mother hen turns from ner brood
of waddling ducks when they wade in
the mud and mill pond. The mother
too is regarded with the same repul-
sive, incogenous feelings as the child
rem. Sel6shness and lust take the |
place of all the finer sensibilities of
the heart and finally breed disgust and
sever all family ties and affection.
Love there was none in the begin Mig,
and hatred usurps it's place and over
throws mans dominion. The man is q
"cussed fool" and his wife and little
ones are outcasts and pariahs in the
world. We know some "cussed fools"
and could point them out right here at
home, besides some OF a national char
actor. The annexation of Hawaii and
of the mixed breeds of those
distant, chaotic sea islands, is another
of an avaricious, grasping.
disposition of the present
generation. Our territory is already
broad enough and too much divided in
local, political and racial interests.
What applies to one section is antag-
,nistic to another. Hence we are al .
'eady embroiled in disputes amoung
,ui selves. With Alaska on our hands,
Cuba clamoriug for protection and war
with Spain, we have enough {

shores of Cuba. The exercise of this
supervision would sgnally act to lessen
df not to stop psaceable relations be-
tween the two states. There is no doubt
what the result of such a supposition
would be upon this nation. 1t would
be unworthy of the United States to
tnaugurate the possibilities of such re-
suits by measures of questionable right
or expedlency or by any indfscretion"
Referring to the public aspects of
recognition of beliigerency and review
ing its inconvenience and possible dam
gers, still further and pertinent consldera-
tions appear. In the code of nations
there is no such thing as a naked rec
ognition of belligerency unless accom-
panied by the assumption of interna-
tional neutrality. Such recognition will
not confer upon either party to domes-
tic conflict a status not actually possess
ed or alter the relation of either party
to other states. The act of recognition
usually takes the form of a solemn proc
lamation of a neutrality which recftes
the defacto condition of belligerency as
its motives. 1t is a national law of neu-
tralIty in the declaring state. Lit as
sumes the national obligation of rec
ogHition of public s : of war. 1t warns
all its citizens being within the jur.s-
diction of either party that they violate
their obligations at their own peril and
cannot be expected to be shielded from
the consequences. 1t secognizes rights
of search upon the seas of vessels and
seizure of arms and contra band of war,
which, under Hha admiralty international
law, must be recognized as a natural
result of a recognition of belligerency,
while the recogn, ton of belligerent
rights in the ports to each party in dis
pute would do the insurgents no good,
and would weigh heavily against Spain
herself. Possessing a navy in the ports
of Cuba, her maritime rights could be
exercised not only to the military in
vest ment of the island, but also up to
the margin of our territorial waters, and
a condition of things would exist from
which the Cubans in their own domain
could not hope to create parallel, while
its creation of a navy through the aid
Of some people without it's domain
would be even more impossible than
now, with the additional obligations of
international neutrality we would per-
force assume. The enforcement of this
enlarged and vigorous code of neutrality
would only be influential within our
own jurisdiction by land and sea and
terminable at our own instance. 1t would
do no good to the Spaniards or insur-
gents; 1t would give the United States
no right to enforce treaties within the
paramount authority of Spain within
the code of war.

charge Colonel Mahmoud Bey was

four bullets from his revolver in the
direction of the Turkish officer. NAH
moud Boy then galloped ahead of his
men and with one fierce blow of his
his sword, completely severed the Greek
officers head from his body.
The heat here is tremendous, but the
troops are suffering without amy COM

struck with the wonderful vitality Of
the wounded Turks. One Turkish SOL
der who was shot in the stomach re-
mained in the ranks and afterward
walked 10 miles.

wounded twice in the legs and once in
the shoulder continued attending TO his
duties for "a hours, until an officer no.

The wounded men recover with re-

siberian Province Suffers Long from
the Conduct OF an Insane Omcini.
In the town of Gischiga, in Siberia,
the provincial governor, Sosnin, has for
some time past been quite mad, and has
been discharging his administrative du-
ties in most extraordinary way. The
orders which he gave the soldiers aud
civil officials were always unreasonable.
and frequently exceeded the bounds OF
possibility. One of his fayorite amuse-
ments. for instance, was to order the ar
rest of a number of respectable towns
men, load them with chains and send
them to prison for an indefinite period
At other times he would approach the
scntinels stationed by the powder mag
azine and order them TO leave their
posts. If they followed his directions
they were severely punished for desert-
ing their posts; if not, they were still!
more severely punished for disobeying
their superior officers command. An
other pastime of the governor was to
threaten TO hang his junior officers, and
one who resists an attempt TO arrest
him for this purpose was degraded from
his rank.
/ Repeated representations were made
/ 90 the authorities at st. Petersburg, but
it was only recently, after this state OF
affairs had lasted for IS months, that
the lunatic governor was removed from
his post and conveyed to an asylum.

arose and fearfully opened TO the in

shrieked, being convinced that il was
William Henry's ghost and all the eight
little picllaninnies came tumbling in
fright from their beds and rolling over
the floor. When the returned wandcrer
had assured his wife that he was him-
self and not n spirit, he learned how
he had been drowned and buried, and
realized upon, and his heart grew heavy
thinking of that "other niggah buried
in nah grave" Besides, his wife didn't
seem very glad to see him, and the
eight pickaninnics could i'm no way bC

Early in the morning Mrs. Holloway
arose and, without waiting for break.

the man whom she had identified, wepi

whom she was wearing weeds, was not
her husband, but only mother niggaf
