scene that had entranced him. But
many years later, as his little grand
child sat on his knee, he told her how,
in a sequestered nook in a farOff cor
ner of the earth he had seen what he
felt sure must be two mountain elfs.
But they weren't elfs after all. Only
two dear little girls who lived with
their father and mother in a half
bin half-Cottage, nesting in one of
the upper valleys of the Sierras. The
cabin was built from heWn timber
taken from the forests which covered
the whole land, except here and there
the steep mountain side, which had
been made bare by some terrible ava
lanche or landslide. One little stream
traced its infant way quite near the
cabin, and it's water was cold as cold
could be.
1t was an ideal spot with it's wild
flowers, birds, tiny stream, log cabin,
forests and great mountains, all tenn
pered with a delicious quiet. To
matter-of-fa people it would have
been very lonely, for the nearest neigh
bors in this roOmy spot were miles
away To this little family it seemed
all heavenly.
The doctor-for such was the father
of the. children-had spent many very
busy years in San Francisco. At last
old age stole from him the energy to
battle on amid rushing peoples, and,
city-tired he slipped away to rest in
the glorious mountains. 1t was his in

BOSTON TAKES nEEsE,s PLACE.
Will DO the Same Thing for which the
Iowa NIan Was Jailed.

Fort Scott, Kan, Dec. 4.-John P.
Reese, of Abba, Iowa, member of the
national executive board of the United
Mine Workers of America, who is in
Jail here for contempt of the federal
court for participation in the Kansas
coal strike, has been succeeded in the
management of the strike by James
Boston, another of the eight members
of the national executive board, who
lives at DuQuoin, Ill. Boston, after a
long conference with Reese at the fed
eral jail, announced his mission in a
defiant statement to Judge Williams,
of Arkansas, who sentenced Reese.
Boston said:
II am going into the field to do and
say lust what Reese did and said. LIZ I
am arrested another member of the
board will take.m place Immediately.
If he is put, into Jail, another will
come. The board may be depopulated,
and then another viii be at once elect
ed. We would be towards, and not
American citizens. if we were cowed
by such decision
President Mitchell,of the mine work
ers, telephoned from indianapolis Sat
urday that the national union has en-
ployed counsel to institute habeas cor
pus proceedings to secure Reese's re-
lease. Boston will begin active work
in directing the Kansas strike this
week, and will at once, it is said, be
cited for contempt.

Democratic Caucus
SENATE TO CAUCUS TUESDAY.
Committee Reorganization Will be Its
Principal WorK.

Washington, Dec. 4.-The republican
members of the senate probably will
hold a caucus Tuesday afternoon to
make provision for the reorganization
of the committees. There are many
ac-ncies on committees caused bv
the retirement of senators. These will
be eI1cd and in many cases where the
republicans are in the minority on
committees, steps will be taken to So
change the membership as TO give
them control. Having so clearly ma
jority of the members of the senate
the republicans are inclined to assert
their privilege of controlling commi,-
tee work throughout.
No decision has yet been reached as
to what shall be done about filling the
elective offices of the senate, but the
present disposition is to postpone ac-
tion upon that subject for the present.
The general interest in the commit
tee changes centers in the committee
on finances. There are two vacancies
in that committee caused by the re-
tirement of Senators Turpie, OF Indi-
ana, and White, of California. and the
republicans will insist upon filling
both of these places The friends of
Senator Hanna are urgin~ his selec.
ton for one of the places.
The probabilities are that the de-
tailed work of filing the committees
will be delegated to committee and
that no actual changes will be -,ade
for several days or possibly weeks.

BILLS ALL PAID.
Rock Island Gets Its Money for Trans-
OOrlat7OM

Des Moines, Dec. 4.-Adjutant Gen
eral Bysrs, accompanied by Private
Secretary Fleming, of the governors
office, called on the officials of the
Rock Island road this morning and
presented them with New York draft
for $751; ,097. This covers the figures of
the contract made by state authorities
with the Rock Island road for trans
porting the Fifty-first Iowa regiment
from San Francisco to Council Bluffs,
lacking 1888 which is withheld for the
price of two meals caused by the delay
of the last section on the Union Pacific
road. The amount withheld will he
taken from the sub-Gontract of the
Union Pacific with the Rock Island,
the. former being responsible for the
delay. Money has been advanced to
meet all the bills incurred in bringing
the soldiers home, including besides
the transportation, $7,4O0 for other ex-
penses. The meals cost S5,941.66, the
Pullman charges We're S2.55O, and there
We're smaller bills including telegraph,
ETC., all of which have been met by
the state through its governor. 1t is
understood that the largest part of the
expenses have been paid by, the COVER
nor himself, and the remainder has
been covered by temporary loans from
different banks of the state. The en-
tire sum, it is expected, will be refund-
ed by the legislature, the majority of
the members, it is understood, having
already pledged themselves for its re-
turn.

TREATY SIGNED.
Ceremony Connected with Partition OF
t- Samoan Islands Enacted,

Washington, Dec. 4.-The British am
bassador, Lord Pauncefote, was at the
state department Saturday and with
Secretary Hay went over the new
drafts of the treaty for the partition of
Samoa preparatory to the final Signing.
Three copies of the instrument were
prepared, one for each of the govern
ments concerned, and these prelimin-
aries We're satisfactorily disposed of and
the treaty was signed at 1920 Saturday
afternoon.
There was little ceremony connected
with the signature of the treaty. In
the diplomatic room We're Secretary
Hay, with Sidney Smith, chief of the
diplomatic bureau, Lord Pauncefote,
the British ambassador, Mr.. Bromwell,
an attache, and DIR. Won Holleben, the
German ambassador.
The three copies of the convention
were read carefully to insure their
identity and the signatures We're at
tached in the usual manner. The seals
were affixed, and after general ex-
change of congratulations the princi-
pals parted, each carrying his own copy
of the treaty.
