Looking over my neighbours fence
one day" says a lover of animals. Il
was surprised to see on his doorstep
these queer companions: \ beautiful
white sea gull and my neighbours pet
cat sitting quietly together.
Becoming interested. | jumped the
fence and asked Jones about Els feath-
ered pet. lie told nae that some boys
had shot the gull a few days before
and broken its wing. and as they were
passing his house he noticed the poor
suffering thing ana bought it. He BAN
daged the broken wing. and the gull.
seeming 10 understand his Kind inten-
tions. became quite tame and nestled
its pretty head against his hand.
Jones entertained me by showing
how the gull usually took his meals.
Bringing plate Of oysters and a fork,
he called ,Goosey, goosey. gooseyr and
the bird came running to him. Then
he held out an oyster on the fork and
the gun seized it quickly with its yell
low bill and ate it as demurely as if
oysters had been served to it in this
way al of It's days.
The oldest thing occurred one day
when my neighbor gave the gull some
small pieces Of meat for dinner. lie
placed the meat on the ground near
the gun bat the gull. espying pan of
water near by, took the meat piece by
piece and, walking over, dropped it
into the water Then. true 70 its ma
ture. il began fishing for its dinner. -

Arizona is supposed to be almost an
unbroken desert, but in reality it has
the largest unbroken pine forest in the
United States, covering an area Of over
5000 square miles. This timber is
usually found at an altitude of be-
tween $500 and 1900 feet. The total
quantity of pine timber fit for saving
purposes within the boundaries of the
territory amounts to 1O,O00,000,00O feet,
which can supply the needs Of a popu-
Ious state for more than a century.

Thinning The nutcher.


Did You ever buy your own steaks
and get the worst in the shop nearly
every time? An old friend has had
that misfortune. and he is always will
inc to pay two or three cents more a
pound than any other customer. Hav-
ing listened calmly to his tale Of woe,
l inquired if he had acquired the
practice of tipping the butcher. TIP
ping tile butcher? No! He thought
il was a sufficient tip to offer the
two or three cents more a pound.
"That offer." / tried to explain, goes

man thinks yon are trying to make a
thief of him bs inducing him % hold
out FOR himself the extra price. II Will

"Iust say to your cutter: See here,

ny steaks for some time. Come out
and take a drink. and tell me how 70

Then slip a dime into his hand and

The OUTLOOK is HOPEFUL.

We print elsewhere i'll to-day's paper
zette in comment upon an article in The
Times concerning election corruption in
Virginia. Our Brunswick contemporary
takes rather gloomy view OF the stua-
ton. but. bad is it all is. we think that
there are encouraging signs. When The
Times began to agitate this question seve-
raj years ago it had little support from
either people or press. On the contrary
The Times was harshly criticised for the
exposures that it made. and was even ac-
cuscd by some of being an enemy to its
own State.
But there is a distinct change for the
better in public sentiment. The great
body of the Virginia people were never in
favor of these practices, but submitted to
them because they believed thEt they were
necessary to prevent negro rule. That
fear has largely disappeared. however, and
there is a general demand for reform.
Unless we have wholly mistaken the tenn
per OF the people the Constitutional Con
yention was ca.iled mainly for the purpose
of making such charges in the suffrage
as shall take away the possibility of negro
rue III any section, and the fear Of it, and
so open the way to "a fEir and honest
election law.
We tell our Brunswick contemporary.
therefore. and all other newspapers in N.r-
gfnia which are in sympathy with this
movement, to keep up the good work, to
encourage the Efforts that the people are
making in the direction of reform, and
sooner later reform VIII come. The
people of Virginia are honest and they
believe in honest elections. They have
tolerated dishonest practices under the
most distressing circumstances, and, If We
know them, they are anxious 10 see a
genuine reform come. The way TO bring
this about is for the Democratic press
and the Democratic masses to be candid
with themselves. Half the work is done
when the fact is admitted and the neces-
sity for reform realized. But reform will
not come SO long as we hoodwdnk our
selves and shut our eyes TO palpable
abuses.

ABOUT PARTY ORGANS.

Tho yirrjnian-Pilot yesterday indicated
the sort of government that might be eN-
pected at the hands of the Repuhilcan
party that would come INTO power
through the disfranchiScment OF the ne
gro, and consequent detection from the
democratic party OF certain more or less
dissatisfied clements On the same day
The Richmond Times CHANGED to give, IN
reply TO the Old Dominion Sun, a review
of the kind of government the Democratic
party has given the State. AS The Times
has not supported the Democratic ticket
in the last Two national campaigns. 1t is
at present the most insistent advocate OF
negro Acknowledgement. on the ground
that il would purify politics BY BUILD
ING UP A STRONG REPUBLICAN
PARTY. and as it would he the logical
organ of such a party, it will scarcely be
suspected of paying an exaggerated tri-
butte to the Democratic party.-Norfolk
Sirginian-Pilot.
We hasten to rcassure our Norfolk con-
temporary upon one point at least: The
Times Will never be the organ Of any po-
litical party. The Times is not that sort
of paper. 1t is independent in thought
and action, and it will never put the party
yoke upon its neck But The Times Is
Democratic in principle, and it will al
ways be a staunh ally of the Democratic
party SO long the party stands by
those accepted and 1ime-honored princi-
pies that We're delivered to the Saints.
So much for national politics.
AS for local politics, The Times has al
ways acted with the Democratic party
and believes that the Democratic party
In Virginia has been the salvation OF the
State The Times has not sanctioned all
that the party has done, and has pointed
out its errors and sins from time to time.
But this has been done in no spirit of op-
position 10 the Virginia Democracy. in
no spirit of anmosity, in no spirit of cap
tious criticism, but in the spirit of friend
illness and deep interest in the partys
welfare Faithful are the wounds of
friend" The Times is proud of the re-
cord Of the Virginia Democracy, and
proud Of the work that il has done for
che party. Its triumphs are our triumphs
and its lnisfortunes are our misfortunes
If The Times is not part and parcel of
he Virginia Democracy, then we do not
NOV where we are.

State that, the negro question eliminated
there be two we'll matched, equally re-

are necessary to a republican form OF
government. How long would the repub-
lie last if there were practically hut one
national party in this country? But the
idea that The Times is trying to build up
L strong Republican party in Virginia.
IN order that it may be the organ of such
party, is too absurd FOR serious denial.
The Times Will be battling for Democratic
principles and will be chivalrous ally of
