Hampshire avenue northwest. recently
wrote 10 the Commissioners complaining
Of the location OF an unused electric
lighting pole IN the alley in the square
bounded by New Hampshire Avenue. Nine
teenth. y and p Streets She states that
the pole was put up in the night five or
six years ago. and that no wires have ever
been attached to il. On account of the
naTrOwness Of the alley Miss Bishop says
that the pole IS the cause Of more cruelty
70 horses than aLy other object she has
ever seen She states that the pole is
where II CaEnot be seen upon entering the
alley. and that it IS the usual thing for
the wheel OF the cart OF wagon to be
caught by the pole. Then ensues the jerk
ing OF the horses and often the whipping
OF them to eXtricate the wagon She
states that there is no room TO back out
and it is with difficulty that the vehicle IS
got into position 10 move along
Miss Bishop thinks that as the pole IS
Of no use TO the United States Electric
Company,to whom it belongs. that it ought

The party started and proceed

far as Fort Hamlin, encountering no
more hardships than are experienced
by all travellers through that frigid
world. At Fort Hamlin, however, it
was learned that gold in quantity had
been found near the source of the
Koyukuk, and the party determined
to strike across the intervening sterile
regions and be Gin at the killing"
From the Yukon, then, they started
northwestward, and, after thirty days
OF travel, reached the Koyukuk river.
Here began for Mrs. Hewitt a series
OF misfortunes which in their progress
and final outcome demonstrate her TO
be one of the bravest members of a
sex that generally receives less credit
for bravery than it deserves.
One day Mrs. Hewitt started with
dog team; and alone, to do a little
exploring on her own account along
the branch Of the Koyukuk. 1t is a
country where rivers, creeks and trib-
utarles abound. and in the maze of
them the woman was lost Up one
branch and down another she wan
dered with her dogs until she had
hopelessly lost all idea of direction
and distance.
Fortunately in her wandar;nes eba
came upon a deserted cabin, and It
afforded her poor sort of shelter IN
the first night of her struggle with
the wilderness. She had with her n
gun and ammunition, and they alona
stood between her and starvation DIR
ing the weary months that passed be-
fore she again looked upon the face
OF human being.
On the next morning a bit OF good
fortune came to Mrs. Hewitt That
is, she succeeded in killing a moose
Its meat kept her alive. She fro1e
some OF the moose meat, and, carry
ing 1t with her, again started out 70
ind the camp from which she had
strayed. So she searched for her COM
panions while they sought her. but in
that painless wild it was small wonder
that they missed one another. Per-
maps 1t would have been greater won
der If their paths had crossed.
She gave up the weary quest at last
and, finding another deserted but
made her winter home in it. There
she stayed while days, weeks and
months of ceaseless monotony dragged
on; there she walled for the help that
never came; there she occasionally
shot moose or caribou, and, subsist-
ing solely on its meat. grew more and
more like living skeleton. The win

starvation must. Very late in the

M'KiNLEY,S HEALTH.

Mr.. Mckinley, we must regret 20
say, Is a man in feeble health. Much
care was used by the trusts and Hanna
In selecting the vice-presidency be-
cause of the fear that Mr.. Mckinley
might fail to live out his term.
The idea was to carry forward the
idea OF changing the form OF govern
ment now existing here-a form that
now makes trusts and their profits
depend on an election. and is, there
fore. insecure.
Roosevelt was selected to run for
vice-Dresident.
IL anything should happen to Mr..
Mckinley, the trusts would be quite
content to see Roosevelt in the White
House
How would the average thinking cit
lien like that?
We do not ask the opinion of the
citizen whose personal physical timid-
ity leads him to worship a magazine
made hero. We ask the thoughtful
men-men brave enough to do their
own fighting If cause should arise,
men who do not hand over their think
ing or governing to a magazine blus-
terer:
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE ROOSE-
WELT IN THE WHITE HOUSE?
Roosevelt stands for a huge perma-
nent army. and for using it against
those who should fail to agree with
him.
He has said that this way of treat
Ing those with whom he disagreed DO
litically would be to stand a few of
them up against wall and shoot
them"
He is a man who would use the coun-
try and its citizens for his own stupid
ambition and big-toothed glory. He
could conceive no better use for young
men than to make the tough ones
rough riders and the tender ones
rough taxpayers-the rough riders 70
build up his fighting fame and the
rough taxpayers to foot the bills.
Some peaceable frogs-not much
more intelligent probably than the
average Roosevelt nthusiast-wanted
a stork to rule them. The stork ac-
cepted and had fun. The frogs did not
have fun.
How many voters want Mr.. Stork
Roosevelt to come along and dispose
of their destinies for his greater
glory?
How many want to be rough riders
or rough taxpayers without their own
consent?
If you vote for Roosevelt for vice
president you are not necessarily vot-
ing to give an ornamental job to an
ornamental blowhart. You may be
voting to make of dangerous, ambi-
tious braggart president of the Unit
ed States.-San Francisco Examiner.
