The Pointer and Setter.

The Pointer ana Setters
Grafton Record The bird dog
family is divided into two classes,
the pointer and setter The pointer
is tall short-haired dog followed
by tail in all kinds ofweather. The
steady business OF this dog is pros
pectinm for chickens. He is lifted in
to a wagon early in the morning ana
carried into the country, and when
IL promising place is struck heis told
to HE on. Ii he is asleep or forsome
other reason does not 'llie, he is
given loost that greatly assists
him oyer the wagon wheel into the
tall Grass. After he strikes the
ground he throws his head up in the
air and starts to run like u clock oil
el with butter When he strikes a
scent his nose is worn ON the ground
and his tail is worked like town
.pump handle on circus day. The
dog has chickens" says the man
who hna borrowed a No. 10 gun AMI
bought No. L shells. "Sure thing
saws the man who owns the dog, as
he Jumps over the back wheel with
his Gun in one hand and some geese
shells in the other. The dog lifts up
his head and starts on piece OF
blowing and gets up a meadow lark
and chases it into Il pasture. The
barb wire fence catches the dog by
the ear and he hOllers like II steam
boat fed on soft coal. The dog gets
back into the RIG and bleeds over the
dressed-up hunters pants and shakes
the blood over his white shirt which
has not been yaccinated agains dirt.
The man who owns the dog gets in
an explanation. He says the mead
ow lark smells like the prairie hen
and the best dog getS fooled on it.
The man with the ruined shirt dareS
to inquire if his dog is blind or has
not been wire-fence broke. The own
err OF the rig says he will get out of
the rig and shoot hawk. He stuifs
his Gun full of shells and blazes away
two barrels. The hawk swoops
couple OF times and sails OF better
than ever. Just then nine tine chick
ems get up in front OF the horses and
the hawk-shooter tries to get q she'll
into his gun brass end first. The
chickens get away withOuta shot be-
ing fred at them. One is spotted
down and the setter dog is lifted out
This dog has long hair and tail
like a fly fan. He likes to roll in mud
puddles and dead oxen After a
proper roll he smells like a soap fac
tory leaning against glue mill In
this condition he is not fit for the
parlor carpet. The setter runs
around FOR u while and begins 70 dig
for a gopher He IS a borrowed dog
and gets kicked for his pains. The
dog starts over the hills for home on
a dead run. About the first thing hp
runs into is the lone chicken and the
man with the No. 10 gun and small
shells gets very busy making ar
rnngements to shoot. He finds out
where lie has made mistake and
makes a terrible roar. Then the
party drives home bv way OF tho
meat market and talk OF many
things by the way.

STRAIGHTFORWARD ANS
WEIR.

The Nidette requests q straightforward
answer to the question: "Why was the
debt of the county increased under reform
government, " bile at the same time taxes
were increased?' The answer has been
made sufficiently often and explicit to
convince anyone, whose mental vision
has not been too severely strained in an
endeavor to see the return OF CRATER rule
in Chehalis county, that the debt has NOT
been increased under fusion rule, nor has
the tax levy been as high as it was when
the erafters were revelling in clover. Still,
for the benefit OF the purblind Nidette,
we publish, elsewhere in this issue, a
straightforward statement of the finan-
cial condition of the county from Jan. /,
1896, to July !, 1898, which will show
that the present county government HAS
REDUCED the Indebtedness over $4,000.
If the Vidette is disposed to question this
statement, which has been compiled from
the records, it is to be hoped it will tell
its readers in just what particulars it errs,
an not content itself with the entry OF Il
general denial

The illustrated midsummer edition of
the HERALD has done more to attract at
tention to Aberdeen and Grays Harbor
than all other efforts in the last seven
years. The Seattle Post-lntelligencer,
last Sunday, contained quite description
of Aberdeen's lumber and fishing indus
tries illustrated with half-tone cuts from
the special edition Of the HERALD, and
Mr.. Shawnan, OF the Tacoma Ledger, was
in the city several days during the week
collecting data for a descriptive article, to
be illustrated with HERALD cuts, which
will appear next Sun day Let the gee
work go on.

issues a manifest or bill Of lading without
the prescribed stamp, but that in contro-
verses arising between shippers and eX-
press companies as TO which one shall be
required to bear the expense OF the stamp,

50 certain is Republican defeat in this
state this year that the party Organs have
lost all sense OF deccncy and are carrying
on a campaign OF vituperation and SLAM
der, aimed at the leaders OF the fusion
lists. Men OF ability, and who have made
their own way to places of public conf
dence and trust, as have the nominees OF
the fusion party in this state, can always
expect to receive billngsgate and Islander
at the: Hands OF the opposition.

THE VITAL ISSUE.

THE m.in issue upon which the cam
paien this fail will be fought, as it was
two Years 40, will be the control OF the
currency. The Republicans Of this state
are trying to avoid this issue, and are
seeking to make side issues the basis OF
the campaign, but in other states they
are themselves conducting campaign
Tor the single gold standard and bank
notes.
The house committee on banking OF the
last congress prepared a currency bill in
conformity with the indianapolis plan,
but the party leaders were afraid to sub
nit it for discussion until after the fall
elections we've held, in the hope that by
holding the matter in allegiance they
might obtain complete control OF both
branches OF congress, and then pass just
such II measure as would be most ac-
ceptable to the money lenders.
The bill provides for the retirement Of
all forms Of government notes and the
substitution therefor OF bank notes, thus
destroying all forms OF money issued by
the government except gold and the mi
nor coins, the silver dollars to be redeema-
bic in gold and ultimately replaced with
bank notes. 1t will thus be seen that
the control of the currency for the millions
OF tradesmen, farmers and artisans of this
nation is to be placed absolutely in the
hands of the national banks. That they
shall say how much or how little currency
shall be available for the use OF the vast
business interests OF he country The
gold viii, as now, be held for reserve, and
bank notes, based upon commercial as
sets, the only available kind OF money.
No wonder the party leaders Of the Re
publicans feared to discuss the matter
before election. II is a monstrous scheme.

This vital issue Of the campaign must

that this state may not only retain its

The Republican organs have not yet
recovered their eQuanimity over the re-
suits OF the Ellensburg convention. At
first some attacked the Populsts for SUR
rendering to the Democrats, while others
reversed the order. They have since re-
ceiyed their cue and all are now shedding
tears Of coincidence of the poor Democrats
who have been swallowed by the Popu-
lists. Poor things, they must serve their
master someway, and we guess it won't
make any difference to the Democrats or
Populists which tack they take.

strated by the manner in which the
gentleman's ideal productions have
been patronized.
One feature that was paramount in
both "Heartsease' and THE Master"
was the circumstance that, notwith-
standing the company is a capable one,
there is never any diversion of interest
from the central figure-Mr. Miller.
The other members are unassuming
parts of finely adjusted machine, the
perfection of which is remarkable. To
some who think themselves competent
judges, it is too highly scientific in its
operations, but we consider that the
uniqueness of the performance should
assure it's freedom from such criticism.
While many admirers of high art In
comedy may prefer to see more dash
and spontaneity in the action, they
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1898-09-04

can appreciate these dramatic tid-bits
and treasure the recollection thereof
for purposes of comparison.
So far as the story of THE Master"
is concerned, it is hard and unnatural
to Americans in whose homes such a
character as Mr.. Miller's idealized
master is unknown, heaven be praised
In this connection, comment is made
on the fact that with many the narra-
tive is almost entirely ignored. All
of which is an unconscious compliment
to the actors art. We admire Mr.
Miller. He is a model in his peculiar
line and it is to be regretted that we
are not to see him in some of the
lighter, more flippant characters, In

by the rule of three. 1t is safe to say
that Mr.. Miller in his gestures and foot
