4" FREE LAND"

The Title OF . Pamphlet written
By Govcrnor.Elcct Rogers.
Governor-elect Rogers has issued a
copyrighted pamphlet containing g.
200 words, and entitled Gree Land"
A copy has been sent to members of
the legislature, which meets next
month. He takes the position that
free land is an inalienable, impre-
scriptable and indestructible" night of
man, and draws lessons from the
freedom and enjoyment Of the Puy-
allup reservation Indians, which he
thinks results from their free, inalien-
able and untaxable homesteads. His
position is supported by quotations
from Emerson, Ingersoll and Seneca.
In conclusion, he proposes an
amendment to the State constitution,
providing that real estate and usual
improvements, to value not to ex-
coed $500, occupied as a homestead
BY private family, the head of which
is citizen of the United States and
this State, shall be forever exempted
from all taxation of every kind. The
exemption is limited to homesteads.
The pamphlet states that in no
State would the amount exempted by
the amendment exceed 10 per cent. of
the total valuation. He says that
such plan enacted into law "will
prevent that fatal clash of the classes
otherwise inevitable" The pamphlet
concludes as follows:
County government should be
abolished or reduced to the merest
skeleton of what it is now. Township
and municipal government can attend
to local affairs; let the State be called
i'll when necessary"

than you imagine. At IL you must
begin and the railing must be com.
pleted by the time the clock strikes
l. If it is done, you are free; if not,
you belong to me forever"
Willibald Pledged himself to the
unhallowed contract and followed the
fiend, who hobbled on till he stood by
a new made grave.
At the same instant Willibald saw
fire spring from the ground and
caught a glimpse of several bars OF
iron and the tools of his trade. The
clock struck II, and starting, he be-
took himself to work. So diligently
did he apply himself that the work
grew rapidly under his hand. A sim
gle screw only was wanting when the
clock was heard striking l, and
Willibald fell to the ground insensible.
When his senses returned, it was
morning, the sun was shining brightly
and he thought all that had passed a
wild dream.
Full of shame and repentance, Will
libald fastened to the church to pray
for the pardon of his dreadful sin.
His heart was lighter after the prayer,
but he could not 60 home to work
that day, and sadly he walked toward
Dame Martha's cottage.
Ellen came to meet him, as before,
and shed tears as she threw her around
around his neck.
"This time," she said, "they are
tears Of joy. When you left 80 sud-
denly yesterday, came into the gar
den, where 1 might weep undisturbed.
l sat there long after dusk, when, as /
leaned my head on the table yonder, a
female figure approached me. She
resembled my dead mother and said:
Weep not, my child, but pray-pray
for your lover. He is in very great
danger She vanished before I could
thank her, hut / remembered her
words and prayed for you all night
long"
The young man shuddered, but
raised his eyes upward in thankful
ness.
EARLY this morning." continued
the damsel, "came Herr Werner. /
went out to meet him and told him !
would die rather than become his wife.
He was much vexed, but, without
another word, mounted his horse and
rode away, followed by his servant.
My grandma was angry, but my con-
science told me l did right, and now
that you return to me in safety.
Willibaid, am sure that I have the
blessing of heaven"
And the young smith felt the same
assurance, when, a few days later, his
box of treasure was restored to him by
his masters daughter, who, in fit OF
jealously, had stolen it from him.
Dame Martha could no longer with
hold her consent, but before Willibald
dared to claim Ellen as his bride he
confessed his great sin to the priest
and submitted to the penance en-
joined upon him, and this, of course,
saved him.
The lovers were married and lived
happily, remembering their past
troubles only as warning against dis
content and an act of submission to
Providence.

nad Story Telling.

If Oscar Wilde's assumption were to be taken seriously. that all fiction is ly. ing, it might account for much that afhicts readers, since tho lack of morale affects the intellect. and what is done without conscience is apt to be done badly. Of course all fiction is not lying. as all killing is not murder, but it is a sad fact that many writers of novels and short stories seem to have left their oonsoiences and much of their brains behind when they go forth to work-as if these belongings might safely remain in seclusion, with the dress coat and the white tie, to be brought out only for especial occasions Artemus Ward once remarked that he had a giant mind. but did not have 1t with him, and that Cor tho latter half of it) is apt to be tho case with any of us when we are care less True, even good Homer sometimes nodded, but this affords no example for us who arc not Homers. To come to our tasks otherwise than with all our wits about us and invite public attention to the chance "oozings of our brains" is as if one should issue from his apart ments unshorn and half clad or enter upon the busy haunts of men without money in his pocket.
