OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

EyAny grumbler can find fault with
the policy of the government in deal
ing with the Filipinos; it would be hard
for statesman even to find better
one.-United Presbyterian.
GTThe real crime of expansion, so far
as William. Jennings Bryan is con-
ccrned, is the fact that expansion is
the policy of the president whom Mr..
Bryan wants to defeat next year.-Kan-

DMr. German declares that silver
will not cut much figure in next years
campaign, and the uninterrupted flour

business men take the same view

Chicago convention as the occasion
when "Stone nailed Bland TO Bryan's

The Life OF Peach Trees.

There is no reason for peach trees
dying out in ten years, bearing them
selves out" some farmers will say.
What they mean is being starved out"
A peach tree, barring accidents, should
be good for 25 years. II should, how
ever, have as good cultivation, liberal
feeding, and as much general atten-
ton as an annual crop. 1t should be
examined twice year for borers, and
when its limbs begin to die out and
look straggly-so that people ordinari-
ly will say IL is played Quit should
be pruncd back severely-cut way back
when new vigorous shoots with dark
green leaves will put forth, and the
second year after n good crop may be
looked for. There are many 30-year-old
peach trees in the country.-Journal of

portant as the railway systems, the
statement being made by them, and be-
ing easily understood, that there is not
an ounce of any commodity hauled over
the railroads that is not first transport
ed by wagons over country roads or
city streets. 1t does not matter if the
commodity is manufactured articles
that are loaded on cars at the factory;
the raw material has first to be hauled
to the factory. But the greatest haul
| ing is done in the farming districts and
there it is that good highways are most
needed.
The subject has not been given the
| attention and support it deserves, as
yet, for the simple reason that private
capital cannot become interested in the
building of common roads since there
would be no income from the invest
ment such as there is in railways.
Municipal, county, state and the ma
tional government have not had the is
sue brought directly before them in its
full significance because it is necessary
to first educate the people to the neces-
sites of the movement This is what is
being done by the wheelmen at the
present time, and it must be said TO
their credit that they have enlisted the
sympathy and support of all the prom
inent farmers organizations in the
movement. With the two classes work
ing together it is only a question of
time until the movement will be made Il
political issue and then will come the
desired improvements.
The argument offered in favor of the
improved roads is, that they lessen the
cost of repairs, make it possible to haul
the largest amount of goods with the
smallest animal power. save time and
increase property valuations. No rail
road company would expect to do busi-
ness If its tracks and roadbeds were in
such condition as to make it either i'm
possible to use the tracks at long sea-
sons of the year, or in using them have
to lose great deal of time and have i'm
mcnse repairs to make; and yet that is
what the farmers and others using the
common roads are doing in compara-
tive way every day in the year.
They make the most impracticable
attempts at road building and repair
ing, and then wonder why there is no
profit in their products, which have
been hauled over bad roads at the great
est expense. 1t has been estimated that
in the states where the stone roads have
been built the cost of transporta-
tion has been decreased to 20 per cent.
of the former figures, and that the
roads pay for themselves within a few
years. 1t has been further shown that
the amount lost in the different ways
mentioned will more than pay for the
building and repairs of these roads on
the annual assessments made for them,
or that it costs no more each year to
have good roads than it does to have
bad ones.

Just as the girl was about to take the
pipe into her trembling hand, we'll
known voice called from the dining
room:
well, sir, haven't you carried your
fun about far enough?"
AS Mr.. Stephenson walked into the
room, both girls sprang into his arms,
while the Indian actually grew pale
under his coat of vermillion paint. Vira
and Jessie could hardly believe that the
brave chief, who had been ordering
them about in such a superior manner,
was only Harry, dressed in an Indian
suit which an old chief had presented
to his grandfather, many years be-
fore. The pretended redskin looked
exceedingly cheap at being discovered,
and stammered that he expected every
minute the girls would know who he
was.
Besides" he continued, "Vira
Dragged that she would be so brave If
she saw an Indian, thought l would
see what kind of stuff she was made Of"
"a joke played at the expense of a
copule of girls, my boy" said Mr..
Stephenson, never contains any of the
elements of fun, and / am heartily
ashamed that you should do such n
thing. a man, and boy as well, should
always defend helpless women and
young girls, too"
Jessie and Nira both suffered from
the fright they received that afternoon,
and as a warning against any more
practical jokes, Mr.. Walling inflicted a
severe punishment upon Harry. For
months the boy had been looking for
ward to visit to the Indian reserva-
ton, GO miles distant from High Banks,
but his father told him he could not
take that trip during the spring vaca-
ton, because of the unwarranted fright
he gave his sister and playmate the Sat-
urday afternoon they kept house.-De-
troit Free Press.

Michigan to Take Part.

Toledo, o., June 17.-The Michigan
legislature on Friday passed bill
creating a commission for the Ohio cen
tennial, and it is understood that Gov.
Pingree will sign it. This is the last of
the states in the northwest territory to
authorize commissions, the measures
having been approved by the remainder
during the winter. Col. Kilbourne,
president of the Ohio centennial COM
mission, will, in the near future. call n
meeting of all the commissioners to be
Territory association and this organiza-
ton will push the Ohio centennial. A
number of the governors of the states
of the northwest territory have already
signified an intention of being present.

"Oid squaw learn liz Injun," he re.
spcnded, with a chuckle.
The unwelcome visitor was dressed
IN Duckskin trousers, a gay flannel
shirt and wore numerous chains and
symbols wound about his neck. His
feet were encased in gayly beaded
moccasins, and lie carried n large blan-
ket, which he carefully deposited on
the floor at his side. Long feathers
adorned his hair, which fell below his
neck, and his face was painted hide
Gus red, which helped to add to his
fiendish appearance. AT his belt were
knife, tomahawk and a whisky
flask, and added to this outfit was a
gun. which he laid down by the side
OF his blanket.
The Indian sat in solemn silence
few moments, watching the girls pre-
pare the corn and coffee.
After eating heartily and drinking
three cups of coffee, the redman pro-
duced black, long-stemmed pipe,
which he proceeded to fill with great
deliberation with a green-looking mix
ture.
'Me smoke pipe of peace" he said.
"You smoke, then me take lii lnjun
and go. Send squaw after lnjun boy"
and he handed the pipe to Jessie, who
began to cry and say between her sobs:
81 can't smoke"
"Pale face plenty 'fraid?' he queried.
"Oh, don't take Nira and Harry, Mr..
Indian pleaded the girl.
The man paid no attention to Jessie,
but holding the pipe toward Vira, said:
"Lil Injun smoke?'
81 don't know how to smoke she
cried. "Oh, dear! why don't papa or
Harry or somebody Gomez and she,
too, began to cry.
The Indian sprang from his chair,
seized his gun, and after giving blood
curdling war-whoop, walked to the
kitchen door and fired the gun straight
into the air. Then turning to Nira,
he said:
''Um tend um bravo; um smoke pipe
now?' holding the pipe toward her
again.
YES, sir" meekly responded Vira
between her sobs.
And I'll try to, too, Mr.. Indian"
cried Jessie, ''if you won't take Nira."

KIondike Gold Production.

Tacoma, Wash, June 17.-Late adj
vices say that the consensus of opinion
gathered from almost every man reach
ing Skaguay is to the effect that the
output of the Klondike in the past year
will be between $i5,OOo,oOO and S20, ,O00.-
900. Fifteen million, which will nearly
double last years output, will be found
to be good figures to gamble on. The
exact figures of output will never be
known for the reason that every effort
Is being made to evade the royalty, and
every trick and device is being resorted
to to smuggle the dust out of the
country.

Readers who see mentions of the

Sick people frequently have strange
desires for foods. One man suffered SO
from gastralgia that he was on the
verge of death through starvation. The
smallest quantity of food caused ex-
treme suffering and all methods of
treatment failed. Suddenly he ex-
pressed a desire for onions, which he
detested when in good health. He was
finally given few onions and no bad
results followed. For three weeks
onions were. the only food that passed
his lips and he got well.
