BE Sure of Your Yoke Fellow.

A farmer was training a preco-
cious, bull calf for the work of an
OK and injudiciously put his own
head through the other end of the
yoke. Evidently the calf was not
well pleased with his working mate,
recognizing the disparity Of the spe-
cies or perhaps seeing an element
of humor in the situation, and at
once started on wild dash down
through the village. The farmer
could not extricate himself, and
baking was out of the question,
therefore he kept to the pace Of the
calf and roared to the denizens of
the hamlet: tfHeres we: come, darn
our fool -! Head us off, some
body"-Field and Stream.

of death followed, and my eyes wan.

were listening at the door.

CHAPTER Xxx.
THE LAST OF THE YELLOW MAN.
OF that voyage down: the great river
I have nothing startling to relate. OF
course there We're many alarms. for we
feared greatly that Wooching or some
other member Of the diabolical associa-
ton would give chase. but fortunately
such did not transpire, and except for
the Inconvenience of such a method Of
travelling we encountered nothing
which happily we were not able to: sur
mount. Many an anxious glance was
cast back along the river, and any junk
that overlook, us we regarded with the
utmost distrust and could scarcely real
ize when it passed without molesting
us that it contained no enemy. What
was happening away back in the pago-
>da it would be hard to say. But Kung
was dead-Kung, the all powerful and
implacable enemy. This. too, seemed
a thing which it was scarcely possible
to realize
Hour after hour as the boat sped
swiftly down the great river sat and
thought OF, what had been. of the terror
that had so long hung over me. And it
was ended. Was it? We were still in
China, and but half of our work was
complete. "Wooching must die. You
must kill Kung." So my father had
written long ago. Well, Kung was
gone-gone the way of all oppressors,
smitten by the creature he despised.
All powerful and skilled in the reading
Of men. he had yet failed to read Alright
the heart Of Yon, because forsooth a
servant like Yon was to be beaten for
disobedience and then forgotten.
Yon's regaining of grace was told in
q few words. After his branding,
though his heart was full of revenge,
he feigned repentance. and Kung, care
less in his might. forgot that q cody
may have soul So III time Yon was
permitted once more to be Of use. Then
he thought Of u and how we might
help forward his revenge.
Well, Kung was gone, but his lieu
tenant was still at large, and notwith-
standing Yon'ss belief that: Wooching
would let us rest l. was doubtful,
knowing the pertinacity of that dread
full man.
Well. we reached Shanghai without
mishap and after staying there for two
days took ship for Hongkong, intend
ing to make our way back to- Mel
bourne with all dispatch: =Yon was to
accompany Us as far. as Hongkong,
where we had promised him sufficient
remuneration to set him up for the. rest
Of his life. Indeed Jim wished to- take
him across the great water, but I:suc-
ceeded in dissuading him of the idea.
Yon was a most excellent fellow in
pagoda or ON q river but Just a little
too violent for a peaceful English
home. FL.
Though he travelled with us as our
servant, he nevertheless slept forward
with the other cody passengers, and
on the morning Of the second day out
the captain came to Jim and me in our
cabin saying that there had been row
among the coolies and that our servant
was seriously injured. OF course our
thoughts naturally few to the society,
and, begging the. skipper to show us
the way, we hurried forward. ...:y

that could be said of him. His eyes
were glazed, and I don't think he rec.

The position of the Democratic party on
that question has been consistent from
the start. The party opposed the prop
osition for an amendment to the federal
constitution, solely on the ground that
the present laws, if enforced, were am
pie to check the monopolistic tendency.
1t was evident then, as it is now, that
the shouting of the Republican leaders
for more stringent laws to control in
dustrial trusts is made for the purpose
OF delay. No attempt is made by the
attorney general to enforce the Sherman
act. During the first Mckinley admin
istration the cases which came up in the
| fault so far as the attorney general
was concerned, and when an adverse
! decision was secured by the opponents
of the law, it seemed to give more sat
isfaction to the government than to
| those directly interested in securing it.
| Only one honest attempt was made by
a federal officer to enforce the law and
he was promptly removed. The aominis-
tration was and is now in favor of let
| ting good enough alone" not only in
the matter of tariff legislation, but in
the matters of Industrial monopolies.
Neither state nor national officers will
make a move toward the control of mo-
nopolies unless there is political aa-
| vantage in sight, and then the bluff
will be withdrawn as soon as there is
| danger of it being called.

THR RISE OF SHAW.

The appointment of Gov. Shaw to sue
ceive the usual concentrations from the
administration press, is both a surprise
and a disappointment to the country at
large and the party in particular.
Shaw is mushroom statesman He is
enc of those political accidents which are
absolutely uneXplainable. Eight years
ago he was unknown and he has done
nothing since to merit national recogni-
tion Why the president selected him to
head the finances of the country can be
explained only on itical-greographic
grounds, not a strong recommendation
for the position.
Roosevelt with an eye to the granger
vote of the West, no doubt, determined
to combat the idea that the national
finances are dominated by Wall street.
The appointment of Shaw from Iowa
would do this as effectually as any thing
could. With a granger banker at the
head of the department, the horny-hand-
ed-sons-of-toil, in the fields of the West
will no longer suspect the moneyed
sharks of the national metropolis of cor
pering the money market.
Those who fondly believed that Roose-
welt, as president, would make no ap-
pointments for political reasons, but base
everything on personal fitness will re-
ceive many severe jolt before the end
of the ride. This selection of Shaw is
enc of the first, but it was a bone-starter.
Iowa is '1t'' just now in the way of
influence in public affairs. Henderson is
speaker of the house of representatives,
and Wilson and Shaw are in the cabinet.
Allison is the recognized leader of the
Republicans in the senate.

Not content with royal scandal from
Holland, the lovers of gossip turn un-
der their tongues a tender morsel from
the court of st. James. 1t is said that
Queen Alexandra is wroth, very wrota,
SO much SO that she kicked over the
traces and spoiled all of King Edwards
arrangements for merry Christmas.
And it was all on account of a costly
present which the king made to a lady
who pleased him, while his royal spouse
was compelled to go without new dress
parade crown. 1t seems that the royal
exchequer is very low The king has
been trying to pay some of his gambling
debts-so the story runs. What good is
there being king if one must have
domestic difficulties just the same?
