A THANKSGIVING ODE.

BY Boy Ten Years Old.
There was turkey gobbler
Who would not spread his tail.
He was not fed on corn or meal,
And his face was very pale.
His wife would lay some eggs
And sit on them four weeks,
Till out come the little turks
With their funny little squeeks.
And when the autumn DAYS are here,
Thanksgiving day draws nigh:
A large. fat turkey on the plate
VIII make the children sigh.
And when the guests are all at home,
And find that they are sick,
They think they'd had better time
Had the turkey ne'er been picaed

LET HIM m nxcuLPATnD.

OF course the Post-Intelligencer has
porary, the Times, In fumiliating posi-
ton. And IL contemplates with regret
the prospect that the former owner of
the university totem pole--'stolen by
vandais disguised as scientists from an
Indian graveyard"-willb begin an action
against the university regents for its
recovery. We discover that Regent
Blethen has already been making an
exhaustive study of the legal aspects
Of totempolery. and has reached some
conclusions as to how the despoiled saw
age owner must proceed to secure his
rights. These learned and instructive
observations are quoted from the Even
ing Times-~.being obviously from the
polished pen Of the regent-editor:
"It is popularity OF our law that when
property has been stolen. and afterward
found In the possession OF certain people.
the owners thereof may have two out
Of three forms Of action to obtain COM
pensation for the loss sustained.
zone of these actions Is known as re-
plevin'-where the party, being able, Is
more willing to repossess himself OF the
stolen property than 10 have It's value.
when It happens, however, that the In
jured party has not the means to pay for
the expense that would arise In recovering
a piece Of property like this totem pole
and returning 1t to It's former place, he
may waive the right Of 'replevin' and sue
In trover, which means for the actual
value of the property of which he has
been dispossessed."
But this variety Of civil procedure,
we learn, does not bar a criminal pro-
cess. To quote further:
but even the exercise Of this right of
civil process, to recover value, does not
prevent the indictment Of the thief his
trial, conviction and punishment under the
criminal law of the land"
1t follows by parity of reasoning that
the accessory after the fact may
be in the tolls of the Alaska grand
jury. Having been duly warned
of their civil and criminal liability, the
university regents, possessors Of the
purloined Hartman totem pole, may
speedily expect some most interesting
news from Juneau.
But we think we see a way out of the
difficulty for at least one regent that
will at once commend itself to the
favorable consideration Of our benign
ant contemporary. 1t Is only simple
justice to great editor and good
man that his fellow regents and the
president of the university unite in a
signed statement generating him from
blame for the "cruel and merciless per-
secution" to which he may be subjected
on account Of this most grave totem
pole scandal. The colonel didn't know
the totem pole was loaded, and doubt
less he would be pleased to print In his
paper a statement showing the purity
and integrity of his relation to totem
polery.

Mr.. Hobart an Able Statesman.

In the discussion on the life Of the late
Vice President Carrot A. Hobart, the worst
that can be or has been honestly said of
him Is that he was elected to his high
office from life OF comparative obgcurity.
And nothing bad is said in this, for every
great man was unknown and obscure at
one time in his life. Two years and eight
months proved that In Mr.. Hooart's
transition to national prominence from
fame limited by the state lines of New
Jersey, no mistake had been made. Fate,
Providence, politician--whoever 1t was that
thus elevated him-chose wisely, and the
opinions and counsels Of vice presidents
In former days never had as great weight
In guiding the nation In hour of trouble as
did the opinions and counsels of Carrot A.

HAS MR.. TRIPLER DISCOVERED
THE WAY?
Los Angeles Express: The New York
inventor, who has worked out the prob
lem of producing in quantity the here
tofore almost priceless laboratory Curl
osity liquid air, has also, upon his own
declaration, found a way to make his
invention of practical value to the for
tunate set of capitalists who may back
his genius, through the employment of
this marvellous agent as motive power
He proposes to move railway trains,
steamships, and to whirl the wheels Of
manufactures, to say nothing about
hundreds of other applications of his
idea which is to do away with coal as
source of energy for motive power.
More than this-as if not satisfied
with giving us a. new means for APP
plying heat direct from the source of
heat-Mr. Tripler says that he will
operate his engine, use his power, and
at the same time store up additional
liquid air which in good time shall be
brought into play as driving and re-
productive energy, and so on at will.
The combination of fact of application
and the surplusage contention is what
is bringing Mr. Tripler under critical
discussion. Can he do it?
So far as any information is avail
able, it all rests upon the inventors
statement. That he operates his ten
horse power engine is true enough;
that he has accumulated a surplus of
liquid air there is no evidence beyond
himself, and we would not for mo-
ment impugn that witness here. That
he has not discarded his now fash
Toned steam boiler and air compressors,
when he has a cheaper method Of sup
plying power, with the entire universe
to draw upon for energy, is apt to make
us stop and think the matter over a
little harder than before.

Fair Oaks Letter.

The Grand Worthy Master of the
State Grange, in company with Erskin
Greer, will be at the Fair Oaks Hotel
on Tuesday the 9th, at II M, for the
purpose of organizing a grange for Fair
Oaks and adjoining communities. Some
thirty persons have signified their de-
sire to become members of this order.
Any one who wishes to join now will be
accepted if present at the time of this
organization on Tuesday next. This is
one of the results of the discussion at
the Farmers Institute recently held
here. Colonel iWeinstock led the dis
cussion in mastery address. This
grange is organized for a purpose, and
that purpose is a good one. 1t is the in
tention to make the grange one of prof
liable discussion in all the ways which
such a community may find for general
and mutual help. 1t is the desire to get
into closer fellowship, and to cherish a
larger fellow-feeling and deeper com
munity interest. Let all who share
this feeling be atthe place named above
not later than / o'clock.
Mr.. Larimore of Larimore, North
Dakota, wife and daughter, and Mrs.
O. w. Ruggles Of Chicago were visitors
at Fair Oaks on Thursday. This was
the first visit of the Larimores and they

Admiral Kautz is plain spoken GER
tainly. No one can misunderstood
him. His latest statement is clear cut
English. When he arrived at Apia he
found that the English and American
Censuls had made a compromise with
Mataafa amounting to a temporary
recognition Of the rebel chieftain. He
thereupon said to them, You have done
what you did because you were in
corner. You had to yield for lack of
power to Withstand. Now we are
stronger: let us undo the wrong" To
this they gladly acceded. But the
German Consul, General Herr Rose, re-
fused. He was arrogant, domineering,
insulting and so acted, says Admiral
Kautz, that Il had to do something or
suffer disgrace, even in my own estl-
nation" He therefore proceeded TO
restore Malietoa Tanu, who had been
declared by the Supreme Justice to be
the rightful King, and under the treaty
the Justices decision had to be recog-
nized and enforced. That is the whole
Samoan story in a nutshell.

1t is calculated to make the cheek OF
the patriotic citizen blush to learn that
Dewey. whom we so recently applauded
to the skies, has been compelled to en-
ploy firm of lawyers to prosecute his
claim against the United States for
prize money due to him because Of his
work on that fateful first day of May
year ago. Under the law, the making
of which Admiral Dewey had nothing to
do with, he is entitled to certain prize
money. He claims that under that law
he is entitled to $4,000 while the
Washington department holds that he
can receive no more than $4,000. 1t is
anything but pleasant thought that
the rest of the world looks on while the
chief of our naval heroes is posing as
plaintiff in a proceeding at law to re-
earned. 1t is true that the department
reads the law differently from the Ad-
miral, but in this case there should
never have been permitted that which
has taken place for SO small a sum as
$12, 900 for such man as Dewey. The
Government cannot afford to wrangle
over it. As the Oakland Tribune"
well says:
When it is remembered what other
nations do for their conquering heroes,
as in the case of General Kitchener,
who was raised to the peerage and
given cash bonus of S125,OOO, it is
rather a come-down for US. to have the
rest of the world commenting on the
fact that we are disputing with Dewey.

things he appears to have justly earned.

Loves Reinca1 nation.

Dear heart, did we meet ong ago,
And walk and talk toe ether then?
l think it must have happened so;
If so, I wonder where or when.
Oft when you blush and smile for me,
When your eyes droop before my gaze,
For one swift breath I seem to see
Some dim, sweet scene from other days.
A CLEAN of gold from that stray tress
OF hair on which the sun has shone,
A loving touch, soft caress.
Or in your voice some minor tone,
Brings to me, like the faint, clear chime
OF silver bells on summer air,
The memory of a bygone time,
OF life and loving otherwhere.
I know that I have loved you, dear,
Fer since I first began to be;
My heart had missed you many year,
Until at last you came to me;
And then I knew that [ had met
The one ] sought, and by your side
I stay. with nothing to regret,
Because my soul is satisfied.
