Ha Hin, Chinaman

VOW, 1,rr1. n
BY G. R. Pattulo, IF.

A HIN lay on his back in his ncr.
row bunk and scraped upon a
B wire strung violin droning lullaby
of the orient. With dreamy, almond
eyes gazing into space, he thought Of
Yateelha and smiled. In the hollow
wall within reach of his hand lay the
precious American gold that four
years Of persistent toll had won him,
and he laughed with a child's delight
as he tapped gently upon the boards.
The disturbing noises of the street
reached him subdued and slumberous,
and from oil around the cultural
voices of his brot ser orientals min
gled in sleepy monotone. As in haze,
he saw the lazy Yangtse-Kiang flow
mur,nuringly on to the Yellow sea,
its reed-clad banks swept gently by
q perfumed breeze that whispered of
rest, and of love, and of languorou-
delight. Swift birds of heavenly plu-
maga foated by on noiseless wings,
and Yateesha's soft laughter rippled
silver-chiming as music of paradise.
With gentle undulating motion they
were sailing on, he and she, through
the realms of night, and the great
golden moon in the white radiance
of starry heaven sent wide beams of
light over the bosom of the waters.
The peoples dropped their graceful
heads, and from aIar shone fairy
lights. "A continuous murmur of life
was borne upon the passion-breath-
ing mir and they two watched alone
in the high arch Of sky the intense
stars shoot like arrows of fire.

opinion of every person who has

very admirable sheet. OF late The
Pioneer Press has given more space
to the news of the Northwest and
a greater space to sporting news,
and has changed the makeup of
the paper so as to enable the
reader to find at glance Just the
news he seeks. The brightest and
cleverest writer's of the Twin Cities
are requisitioned to make a paper
that will fairly b1istle with news.
non-partisan and complete. Edi-
torials that are clean cut, broad and
fair. Special stories and features
that must appeal to and interest
every person who reads them. In
fact at every point The Pioneer
Press is newspaper and one that
all the Northwest may we'll be
proud of and submit in comparison
with any paper published in any
part of this broad country.

A Plea for Law and
Order.

L nave not the mcmahon nor
intention to uphold the pernicious
doctrines taught by anarchists, but
[ do protest against the violent
and Incorporate articles written
against them. These articles
themselves seem to me to SAVIOR Of
anarchy. When people talk about
taking anarchists out and lynching
them, they, if they do 80, become
for the time being anarchists
themselves.
Now suppose for instance a mob
of persons had taken that blatant
female Emma Goldman out of the
Chicago Jail and lynched her,
every person present who had
taken any part in the proceedings
either by act, word or sympathy,
would have been as much of an
anarchist as the parasite person
mainly interested, and probably
more SO, for very likely she would
have been the only one in the
crowd praying for law and order.
Now can you by any stretch of the
imagination see these lynchers of
anarchistic tendencies taken out
and themselves exterminated, as
one writer has lately held to be
the way to rid the country Of
them?
And we, all Of us, the inmates
of this prison, have been in GER
tain limited sense-anarchists.
Have we not taken the law into
our own hand and broken it? And
should we not be the last to talk
about the determination of body
and soul of all anarchists? Ger
tainly they should be punished,
and the laws upheld; and the gov
eminent is strong, capable and
willing enough to do it. The
sentence Of Most last week to the
penitentiary proves this, and this
course will be a stronger check
upon the anarchists than these
fiery articles written against them,
which only serve to advertise and
to give them the notoriety they
desire. Without advertisement
anarchy as social menace would
die out-a natural death. And
right here the newspapers are to,
blame; if all of them Gas a good
many are doing would refuse to.
take the slightest notice of their
doings, their goings and coming, sit
would have the desired effect. |

seven head of buffalo day. The
way they managed was this:
Brother No. l would stand on one

it, the bullet going into the barrel

stood on the other side. Then
Brother No. 2 would fire through
the next buffalo into the rifle Of
