1t was two days before the herd was
in shape to start on the journey again.
Then the course was turned to the
north, and it was hoped that on strik-
ing the long trail there would be no
more trouble.
On the second day they came back
| to the broad ribbon of brown earth
splain for 400 miles and was the first
I thoroughfare between the ranches of
the southwest and the shipping station
of the north. Upon it We're scores of
herds and it seemed likely that they
would be allowed to proceed quietly and
without molestation. They did not know
the character of the young Mexican
who was hanging ON the edge of the
herd.
Louie was not alone. He had taken
with him another renegade of the
southwest and they were fertile of ex-
pedients to disturb the passage of the
herd. Further than that they would not
stop at anything, no matter how crued,
in order to carry out the scheme of re-
vealee on which they had determined.
The young foreman was unsuspic-
ious. II believe. JIM" said he to the
head herder, that they have got dis

the reply, and then it is we'll to take
no chances
So the watch was kept close, and
day after day went by without incident.
To be sure, a strange cry came from the
side of the trail one night and caused
the cattle to rouse quickly, but 1T did
not amount to anything serious. Then
there was a bundle of red cloth i'm the
middle of the trail one afternoon,
around which the stock rushed and
took a course a half mile out of their
way.
But on the whole the trip was going
well and they were up in the middle of
the territory with hopes of seeing the
south branch of the Cimarron most any
day. A halt had been called early for
night and. ON the level plain the cattle
were scattered for two miles up and
down the trail. The herdeTs were get

and how to get on puzzled him. The
stirrups being some six feet off the
ground he could not get up that way
SO he spat on his hands and started
to swarm up one of the brute's front
legs exactly as one woull tackle a pole.
But Satan put a stop to the proceed

There are over 5000 animals in the
London Geological garden.
The antipathy of animals for certain
things is unexplainable, but the fact
remains, for example, that rattlesnakes
have decided dislike for the leaves Of

that they would rather run over live
Goals than touch white ash leaves.

Presidents Position Correct.

The presidents position in his Bos-
ton speech is held by all careful observ-
ers to be absolutely unassailable. DEM
ocratic criticism of the presidents re-
marks. is not properly criticism, but is
only carping and senseless fault finding,
opposition simply for opposition's sake,
for party purposes purely. The presi-
dents argument meets with the APP
proval of good citizens now, as it did
when uttered, when he says: ''There
S universal agreement that the Philip
pines shall not be turned back to Spain.
No true American consents to that.
Even If unwilling to accept them our
selves, it would have been a weak eva
sion of manly duty to require Spain to
transfer them to some other power. and
thus shirk our W responsibility. 1t
was equally impossible that they should
be tossed into the arena of contention
for the strife of nations. or be left to
anarchy n chaos of no protectorate at
all" This is a true explanation of the
spirit in which the islands are retained.
and in assuming responsibility for the
establishment of good government
in the islands whose only goven-
ment they ever had has been
destroyed. the president holds that
this country is responsible in
determining how this obligation
is to be carried out. In all this Spanish
wal matter, the president has done sim
ply what the constitution made it in
cumbent on him to do, and it is now in
cumbent on congress to carry out its
constitutional obligations and determine
what shall be the country's relations
to those countries now under the IN
troll of the United States as the result of
war. When congress has done this. it
will be the duty of the national eXecu-
tive to carry out the policy as outlined
by congress, which he will certainly do.
The United States has fallen heir to the
de facto government of the Philippines
as it has in the case of Cuba and Puerto
Rico, it is the only government the Phil
ippines have, and after the United
States troops have dispersed the armed
mob under Aguinaldo and restored or
der and public safety, it will be time to
deliberate on other matters concerning
the archipelago.

Enough said,

North Dakota legislators are making
a record which will last as long as that
of the goose legislature" of Missouri.
The soIons at Bismark are determined
to regulate something by legislative
enactment and the senate of the state
legislature has passed Il bill which pro-
vides for the appointment of a commits
sion of three physicians in each county
town of North Dakota whose duty it
shall be to examine applicants for mar
riage license. Under the bill no mar
riage license ear be granted unless both
parties to the union are free from
disease, including d%ipsomania, heredi-
tary insanity and tuberculosis. Kansas
has at last been compelled to take a
back seat as the home for cranks, and
should the bill referred to become law,
North Dakota will be depopulated of
young people so quickly that the minis
tiers will wonder what has become of
the perquisites of their calling.

Artistic Lying UnexceIIed.

1t has been said that the diplomats
and politicians were artists in the in
fernal art of refined lying; but in the
face of the Filipino pronunciamentos
being sent out by the Hongkong and Lon
don %juntas there, the politician and the
diplomat have become abashed and with
that modesty which is ever bound to as
sert itself in the presence of superior
type of excellence, are hunting for back
seats and hushing themselves in a twi-
light of subdued quiet.
The expression 'Lie like a Turk" or
'tLie like a Greek" has become a back
number. When Mark Twain wrote his
famous %"Innocents Abroad" his de-
scriptions of the smooth, oily, slide and
''get thar methods OF certain Orientals
and semi-Orientals in the art of Ananias
were wont to excite more or less s~taccato
observations Of surprise and a sort Of
Mortified amusement from all readers.

STAMPING Express Packages

A decision of the Supreme court OF
Michigan bearing upon the payment OF
the stamp required by the internal rev
enuc law of 1898 upon bills of lading or
receipts required by that act to be is
sued and stamped by express companies.
has Just been delivered. contrary
to that rendered by L. S. Circuit
Judge Lacombe. of New York, and
holding to the opinion of Judge Tuley.
Tho proceeding arose upon a mandamus
by the attorney general of Michigan to
compel an express company to atfiX the
stamp upon the receipt, upon the rela-
ton of certain merchants of Detroit. 1t
was there held, in affirming the lower
courts action granting the mandamus,
that while the question as to whether
the company would receive the package
unless the stamp was rendered by the
shipper, was one between the express
company and the shipper, the company
could be compelled by mandamus to re-
ceive a lawful package, and such com
pany could not raise the rates, under a
guise. so as to compel the shipperin this
way to pay the tax, as it would be a
mere evasion of the revenue law. After
the company, either voluntarily or by
compulsion by mandamus, had received
the package from the shipper, then the
government comes in under the provis-
ions of the revenue law, with the power
to compel, in a civil or criminal pr oceed-
ing, the company to issue the receipt
and afix the stamp.
The court also declared that it was the
language and intent of the act that the
express companies should pay the tax;
the effect of which ruling is, that the
shipper can compel the company to re-
ceive the package, after which the gov
errment will compel it to issue the re-
ceipt therefor and afix thereto the rev.
enue stamp.

his demand IN the matter of the reSolu-

and incensed because of this Snub, the
quondam leader of the opposition told
his fellow partisans they shouldn't slide
down his cellar door or play in his back
yard any more, and thai settled it. The
