Sure Enough Imperialism.
From the St. Paul Globe.

Imperialism means among other things,
crooked administration of colonial affairs
for the benefit of dishonest officers. That
is part of its meaning, as interpreted by
the decayed monarchy of Spain itself. An
other part of its meaning is the exploita
ton of the people through taxation for the
benefit Of favored interests at home. That
was revealed in the taxation of Porto Rico
without representation. Even Spain did
not go that far in dealing with Porto Rico.
The island had representation in the
Spanish Cortes.
There is plenty of sure enough imperial
ism in the dealings Of the Mckinley Ad-
ministration with the new possessions, and
a great deal more of the imperialistic ten
dencv which needs to be crushed for the
sake of the integrity of our free and repu-
table institutions upon which Is builded
all of our greatness as a nation

FOUGHT A FIERCE GRIZZLY

Piute Indian Ki1Iel the Huge Brute
with Only a Knife.
The California grizzly bear has been
one of the most powerful and uncon-
querable beasts ever known to the
Western pioneer. A meeting with him
has usually brought death to the hardy
adventurer who dared enter the en-
counter, or even stand in his way when
bruin came crashing through the un-
derbrush Other bears are met with
confidence and dispatched with steady
aim, but when a grizzly comes thunder
ing down the powders, tearing off trees
in his superbly undertaking course,
shaking the mountain side with his half
ton of savage bulk, the nerves of man
have to be strong indeed to withstand
the spectacle. There is death in the
red jaws. ripping and tearing in the
powerful claws, strength to dash a
mans head from his body at a blow
from one of the huge forelegs. Coming
head-on, he Is like all savage creation
turned loose He Is usually more than
mortal can face; only the preternatur-
ally brave and reckless court death and
defy the fates by daring to stand and
fight when he comes. Yet few days

Questions
for
Woz,1ez7

If Won were offered sure aid in time
ct trouble would you put it aside
and accept something of doubtful
efficiency?
If YOU saw before you a strong and
safe bridge leading to your goal, would
you ignore it to try some insecu@e and
tottering structure
The answer to these questions is
plain. You would, of course, choose
without hesitation what all evidence
showed to be the safe thing, and you
would risk nothing in useless expert
mentS.
Why, then, do some women risk one
of their most precious possessions
their health-in trying medicines OF
unknown value, which may even prove
hurtful to them?
lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound has stood the test of years. 1t
has the largest sale of any remedy for
female ills in the world. and nothing
could have given it this sale except its
own merit.
Do not try any experiments, but buy
what is known to be reliable. Mrs.
Pinkhams Compound can do all that
is claimed for it, and all statements in
regard to it can be easily verified.
Write to Mrs Pinkham at Lynn, Mass.
for little book she has just published
containing letters from the mayor of
Lynn, the postmaster and others.
Mrs. PinlSham's advice is offered free
of charge to all women who write to
her for aid. This invitation is con-
stantly renewed. A million women
have been cured of serious female ills by
Mrs Pinkham's advice and medicine.

ARCH ROCK, SAN FRANCISCO BAY.

hundred have come within an ace of
going on the rock and had to slip
their anchors in order to get clear. The
first vessel that l remember being
wrecked on Arch rock" continued Cap
tain Boyd, was the pilot-boat Sea
Witch That was in 1855. All the
pilots had boarded off and the schoon-
er was coming in in charge of the boat
keeper. There was dense fog and
the boatkeeper mistook Arch rock for
a sloop under sail and getting his
course accordingly made the mistake
of his life. All hands were saved, but
the Sea Witch was a total loss.
''The next wreck was that of the
clipper ship Flying Dragon in the win
ter of 1S61-62. She made the fastest
run on record from Newcastle, N. S.
W., thirty-five days, and anchored off
Meiggs wharf. Captain Watson the
well-known marine surveyor, was in
command of the vessel, but the pilot
was still in charge when the accident
happened. A sudden change of wind
and fierce squall drove the Flying
Dragon down on the rock and she be-
came total loss.
1.-THE next vessel lost on the rock was
the bark Autocrat in 1862 She was
loaded with coal and drifted down to
her doom in a dense fog. Since that
time numberIess vessels have made the
acquaintance of Arch rock and always
to their disadvantage. The old ferry
boat Clinton went on one of its lodges
in a fog and the steamer Oregon, now
running between the sound and Nome,
lost her bilges on it. The old bark
Columbia stuck on it for day and a
night, and, last Of all, the bark Cey-
Ion drifted down on it a few months
ago and was saved by the quarantine
steamer Sternberg. As it was the Cey-
Ion lost all her sheathing. 1t would
take page to give the number of yes
sells that have just escaped going on
Arch rock by slipping their cables, and
when the contractors come to boring
I'll guarantee they will find more chain
and anchors than rock"

State Department from Lyons. Fifty
two cannon, manned by one hundred
and four cannoneers and their chiefs,
have been distributed over an area of
twenty-five acres of rich vineland A
high point in the vineland to be covered
by the experiments were selected as the
central post Of observation and a sig
nal code adopted under which, when
shot is heard from the central post all
the cannon are fired, at twice minute
and more slowly after the first ten
shots. l translate the report of the first
firing at the storm cloud this season:
The farmers Of Denice were aroused at
| one-thirty o'clock on the night of June
and 6. The storm was very severe.
The artilieries, from forty to fifty
strong, fred their guns and stopped the
thunder and lightning. In the neigh
boring communes the people saw col
umns of flame rise three hundred feet
above the cannon when the shots were

Shag rock No. and Shag rock No. 2
in San Francisco having been disposed
of, contractors are now busily engaged
in work preliminary to the demolition
of the still more famous Arch rock IN
the same maritime thoroughfare. Ihe
forty-niner cannot recall the day when
this picturesque menace to navigation
was not mathematical by the sailor
man. Many time its destruction has
been suggested, and it's demolition
would have been accomplished
long ago but for the sentimental oppo-
sition of a few veteran Californlans
who hated to see their odd-looking old
friend disappear forever. Residents OF
Sausalito have always been particular
ly averse to it's destruction, their cry
always being that it was one OF the
sights of the bay. Eventually contin-
ued agitation by pilots and others in
terested in shipping bore fruit, and now
Arch rock must follow in the way Of
the two others.
In early days Of California's history 1t
was a favorite amusement for young
men to wait for an unusually low tide
and then pull boat through the arch.
So far as is known the first time this
feat was accomplished was in 1857,
when Captain Frank Murphy, one of
the best known pilots of his day, rowed
a small boat through. For few years
the daring trip was occasionally made
or attempted, but eventually a couple
of young fellows. in trying to do the
trick, We're dashed against the arch by
the heavy swell. The boat was smash
ed and the young men lost their lives.
Since that time rowboats have given
Arch rock a wide berth.
Frank Boyd, noted pilot of the Cali
fornia coast, voiced the opinion of all
men in his profession when he called
Arch rock a dangerous spot, and said
1t should have been blown up long ago.
"When they come to survey that spot"
he said, they will find every inch of
ground in the vicinity of Arch rock
covered with anchors and chains.

But few dairymen who have large
herds are as careful in milking as they
should be. Not one in a hundred ever
washes the udders and teats of the
cows before milking, followed by care
full washing of the hands. Any dairy
man who will practice such methods
and who will invite his customers to
witness his mode of management, will
receive the highest prices for his milk,
instead OF selling to dealers. 1t may
take year or more to establish repu-
tation for such milk, but the fact will
become known and the future of the

ago a Plute Indian, armed with only .
monsters. The Indian was living at
last accounts, but the bear was dead.
Mustang is the Indians name. He
| and another Piute were out in a ire
mendously wild region of the Hetch-
Hetchy valley and when descending
| the bed of gorge they almost ran into
/ the jaws of the largest grizzly they had
ever seen. Mustang and his companion
! fired their rifles at the brute, but the
two shots produced no more effect in
arresting the bears charge than would
the throwing of pebble against the
wind stop cyclone. Mustang was
step in advance of his companion and
bruin reached him first, knocking his
gun one way and him the other. The
companion climbed a tree. Mustang
plunged his knife to the handle into the
shaggy monster, slashed it again and
again across his rough~hide, ripped and
cut until blood poured from dozen
gashes in the herculean carcass; then
he fell under a crushing blow from one
of the spiked paws and lay quivering
on the rocks with the bear tearing
strips of hide from his back and chew
ing his arms and shoulders to pulp.
Meantime Mustangs friend was vain
ly trying to get his rifle into working
order. 1t had been injured when he
climbed the tree. From morning till
night this condition lasted. The bear
soon left the mangled remains of Mus
tang and numbered in red vengeance
over to the tree where perched the
other Indian. After trying in vain to
climb he Emped back to Mustang, but
| before he could tear the man to pieces
the Indian, who was by no means dead
yet, drove the knife into his enemy's
vita1s. The bear staggered off few
yards and then, overcome by the fear
of death which comes instinctiyely to
all animals, staggered down the gorge,
but fell for good in few minutes. AS
sistance soon reached Mustang, who
was cared for by cunning medicine
men of his own race.

that are perfect and fully ripe. When

strain it thoroughly. Use lard barrels,
