THE commission to make white the
faint of Algerism is becoming an OBJ
ject of ridicule and derision from one
end of the country TO the other. The
papers that have been active in invest
igating army abuses and incapacity,
and thereby correcting them take no
stock in the commission. Its purport
is evident to every one. The New
York "Evening Post" says sit is all
adrip with white wash" Instead of
forestalling it makes more imperative
the need of congressional inyestiga-
ton. Only witnesses whose evidence
it was known would be favorable have
been called. These are volunteer wit
nesses, and it is in evidence that when
their testimony is of the desirable
kind they receive their reward from
the administration. The commission
is to postpone further testimony and
visit the camps This will tide mat
tiers over until after the election.
What has the present condition of the
camps, reformed under public pressure,
to do with their condition when they
were pest houses and grave yards?
That's the question, and where re-
sponsibility comes in.

LIGHTNING!
Strikes Poker Table and Divides the
Money Equality.


During terrific storm a few
nights ago, near Creston, Writ coun-
ty, a peculiar and strange thing
happened.
A party of four we'll known citi-
zens were engaged in playing a game
of old fashioned poker under big
stiff with big rock for a table, had
a poker pot pretty well filled and
were so deeply interested in the
game that gathering storm Was
not noticed to any apreciable extent.
Suddenly from out the rifted clouds
came flash of lightning and crash
it went through the poker table,
scattering the players and the mon
ey pell nell.
Strange to say however, the mon
ey in the pot was equally divided,
one-half going to one side of the
table and the other half to the other
side of the table.
After the storm the stakes were
found as stated, but no more poker
will be played on that table.

 They loved the gentle hand that caressed and cared for them and en- tered into Trixie's ideas daintily and intelligently. Why, after they had been placed in position two or three times they understood, and afterward only required a signal from her to know just when and how to repeat it.
 Such specialties as running up minia- ture stairs and lying down, getting up or turning a somersault is what she taught them. In her own room she had a bay window. A branch of eucalyptus placed there furnished a place for the Australian paroquets to slide down and to sleep at night, hanging by one foot. upside down.

 derstand how Trixie loved these warm little creatures. After all, you know, they were only dolls!
 The little girl coaxed until she had an aviary also. A room opening off the old lumber room of curiosities made a splendid one. It had "pigeon-hole" nests and bracket nests, and nice drop fountain for bathing purposes, where the feathered friends could take their daily bath. There was a large wire cage looking out on to the side porch, where stood two long, high back settees, where Trixie could lounge and learn of happiness in the songs of those singers who would come out into this cage to sing to their dear little mis- treSS.
 Trixie used to go into this aviary room, sit down and read and watch her pets She would pretend to try to rob a. nest builder of the bit of paper or raveled rope he was gathering in his

Trixie did not love her dolls as de- votedly as most little ladies do. Then you think she must have been very lonely sometimes because she had no little brothers nor sisters to play with :? No. ihdeed!' Her warm little heart kept her very busy with her pets of various kinds.
 Grandma and grandpapa had a large play house built for her. Oh! yes,, the dolls were all there, to be sure, but they were disposed of in distant cor ners!
 I suppose if they had suddenly be- come animated there would have been much comment and indignation ex- pressed in their wide open eyes be- cause their mistress had brought into their presence birds, a pet guinea hen, and once a guinea pig, and had caressed and chatted with them and allowed the two mountain quail to walk up her arms to her head before their very eyes!
 While they, the dolls, might only be elegantly attired in ball gowns and walking costumes. They did not un-

 The speaker was Nellie Weaver. She lived in a little village. Mrs. Weaver wanted to raise Nellie to be a helpful child, and she made Nellie wipe the dishes and dust the chairs.
 When Mrs. Weaver found Nellie cry ing she asked: What is my Nellie cry ing for?" Nellie told her and then her mother said: Nellie, if you lived in the city you would not think so. There are so many people there that if you were not careful you would be lost"
 Nellie said: "Oh, yes, l would like it. Mrs. and MT. Weaver and Nellie took the cars to go to San Francisco They arrived at their destination at II o'clock.
 Nellie thought it was grand So many stores and pretty dresses!
 In the afternoon they took a walk Mrs. Weaver said: Nellie, walk in front of 'us" Nellie said: "Yes."
 She walked along very happy. In a few minutes she turned around and she did not see her mother. She started to cry. Her mother was looking for Nellie and soon beheld Nellie crying. Mrs Weaver picked her up and carried her into a car. Nellie soon dried her tears and enjoyed her ride.
 When they reached the hotel Nellie was nearly run over by horse in get ting out of the car.
 She was glad when the week was up and her parents and herself started to go back to their little village home.
 After that Nellie always did what her mother thought best.

 Fine trick.' growfed the Big Bear; and I think we'd better eat these children up at once, for am growing very hungry"
 Good ideal" said the Middle-sized Bear.
 Just then a queer noise came from the parlor, where the Tiny Bear had found the piano and was playing upon it, seated on revolving stool. There were some tinkling sounds, then a great crash upon the keys, and then a heavy fall. The Tiny Bear had not understood that the top of the piano-stoo turned so 1t fell off In a second it was angry, but it's accident served to call the other bears into the parlor, and before they thought more about eating the children Tom had run to the poultry-yard and was back again.
 Quick, Goldilocks,' said he; "put on your apron and cook supper for the Bears."
 In a trice fire was crackling in the stove. Goldilocks had on her white apron, acting as cook, and she looked so sweet that the Three Bears fell in love with her. Truth to say, they were more in love with the sweet smells that came from the stove. Such white bis cuitl Such yellow cookies as she made!

Bears had lost their curiosity and had begun to growl again.
 She placed a white spread on the ta- ble and put so much on it to eat that even she was astonished. She had roasted three geese, one for each of the Three Bears. When she opned the oven it was full of roast goose-ten, fif- teen, twenty birds-all Drowned and smoking hot: and there were three huge platters full of hasty pudding; pies and frosted cakes by the dozen. The Three Bears murmured with de- light, as they tucked their napkins up into their necks. They made funny noises while they ate; and they were as greedy as pigs. When they had eaten until it should seem that they must burst, Tom pronounced the magic word:
 Honey"
 "Eh.' said all the Three Bears at once Whats that? Honey? Bring 1t at once"
 Tom went out and came in, stagger- ing under load of honey in three pans, huge one for the Big Bear, me- dium sized pan for the Middle Sized Bear and a smaller pan for the Tiny Bear.
 What growl-three growls in fact of pleasure rose at that festal board!
