He Wanted His Horse Back.

Civilization has made great and
mighty strides among the Siletz
Indians, but the fact that old Gus
toms and rules are not completely
eradicated is evidenced by the fol-
lowing tale of woe that comes from
there. About year ago or so,
Joe Cook, who is a little lame
legged Indian, concluded that it
would be good plan to get mar
ried. He did not have many good
looks TO commend him to the gen
tier sex, but he had a horse, and
he made the horse answer the place
of physical beauty. So Joe traded
the horse to Old Joshua Tom for
one TOMS girls. So tar, all right.
Joshua Tom took the horse and Joe
Cook took the girl and everybody
seemed happy, until short time
ago when the girl proved tickle and
went off to Southern Oregon with
"handsomer man." leaving Joe
Cook with an empty chair by fire.
side and an empty stall in his sta
BILE. This did not seem fair to Toe
Cook. He was minus both horse
and girl, and it occurred to him
that the time of action had come.
The girl was out of his reach, and
So he went over to Joshua Toms
and demanded the return of the
horse. Joshua demurred and tried
10 impress Joe with the idea there
was no guaranty on his part con-
corning the girl. He had deliver
ed the girl over to Joe and if the
latter let her escape then he only
had himself to blame. Joe could
not see 1t is this light; he knew the
girl was gone and he wanted his
lorse back, so he started to cut the
he argument short by untying the
lalter TO take the horse home.
Then the inevitable happened.
oshua tried to prevent Joe's UNITY
.ng the horse, and Joe kicked at
Joshua and missed. Then Joshua
sailed in with full right-hsnder
on the jaw and Joe went down, and
right here is where Joshua made
his mistake. He jumped onto Joe
and went TO strike him in the mouth
with his fist. Joe's legs had failed
him when he kicked, but his mouth
proved to be his salvation, tor as
Joshua struck Joe opened his mouth

hand away Ioe's teeth had closed
down on 1t, and they hung on like
grim death. 1t did not take long
to effect settlement. Joshua soor
had enough, and upon his promise
to give up the horse Joe relaxed his
hold and released him. Full of vic.
tory Joe got up and took the horse
and departed for home. The chai,
by his fireside is still vacant, bu,
the stall in the stable now holds a
horse.

Washington, June Ex-senator Daniel of
Virginia was the chairman and principal
speaker at largely attended Cuban mass
meeting held at the Columbia theater
this afternoon. He declared that the con-

1t was not only a condition of war, but a
war of murder and arson.
Reference was made to the Cuban reso-
lutions that have passed congress, and
the senator declared it was the duty of
those In power to consider the wishes of
the people who placed them there and stop
the Spanish atrocities in Cuba. He asked
what had become of the Cuban beligeren-
cy resolution adopted by the Senate, and
replying himself to the ques ton, said 10

where straw Hats Arc Made.

FROM the lJO0uou llhltH
An interesting report of the straw hat
industry of Tuscany by Mr. Linard Of the
British consulate general at Florence, has
recently been published by the foreign Of
flee. The industry is of considerable an
tlquity, and was of some importance at
the close of the sixteenth century, when
IL was carried on at Sigma, a village near
Florence, the straw being imported. In
l71S attempts were first made TO grow the
wheat In a particular way, so as to pro-
cure a fine white straw suitable for plait-
ing. These were successful, and the
fashion for wearing the so-called Leghorn
hats extending. the industry became high
ly prosperous, and in 1922 gave employ
ment to $4,000 persons. In 1926 It suffered
greatly by the introduction In England Of
the manufacture OF particular style Of
hat with Florentine braids, but II revived
with the discovery OF the system OF eleven
straw braids. by which eleven straw or
ends were Joined together so as to form
an extended sheet OF plated work. Vari-
Gus other Improvements led 10 the inven-
ton Of the once famous cappotte, or Leg
horn hat In thirteen braids. IN the shape
Of a sugar-loaf, and made 81 125 or 20)
strips OF braid. These hats, when In
fashion. sometimes cost from fl8 TO f33
pounds each. In 1870 the industry reached
It's zenith, and of late years, owing TO
competition from China and Japan. II has
declined, and Is now In a very depressed
state. The report describes the methods
OF growing the best straw and preparing
II for plating, as well as the different
kinds Of plalts and the processes Of
bleaching and dyeing. The total number
of hands employed In the industry in the
province OF Florence IS S4.55S OF whom
over 5000 are females. The magnitude Of
the decline in the trade will be estimated
from the following figures; In 1880 the
total Italian export OF straw goods was
over 100000 lire, In the two succeeding
years Il was over s0,0O0.0OO; during the past
seven years II had huctuated between g.
10000 and ", 10000 The outlook to-day
OF the italian straw hat and plating in
dustry Is very black. Tnconstant fashion
may, however, favor again the Leghorn
hat IN which case there would be a re.
vival In its manufacture; otherwise, the
italian. like the English. Belgian and
Swiss straw plaiters. must accept the In.
evlthble and give place 10 the cheaper
