TO the door and glanced out. The man
was still sitting upon the porch. gaz-

AS one suddenly awakened from a
dream. the man started, then arose I'M
steadily and leaned against the post.
Gene" he said. I'm goin' to sell
out and move away from Timber
Creek. l can't live under no rascally
Republican officers, Gene; 1 Jest can't

The evidence of a sleepless night
shown plainly on the old mans face
the following morning. and in his eyes
the dull light of sorrow slumbered.
Bright and early he hi .ched his team
to a light wagon and drove out into
the road. At the gate he drew rein
and shouted to the girl, who was
standing On the porch:
I'm goin' to town, Gene, to see
when they're goin' to hold the fu-
neral"
He laughed hoarsely at his joke and

was out of sight. To the girl it hardly
seemed he had had time to reach the
county seat before he was back again,
driving slowly into the yard, his head
bowed, his hands lying motionless in
his lap, a look of pain upon his face.
Mechanically he unhitched the team
Nand put it in the barn. then slowly
he walked to the house, his hands
clasped behind his back, his eyes fixed
upon the ground.
1t was a clean sweep. Gene" he
said, pathetically. Even Timber
Creek went Republican, Gene; even
Timber Greek went Republican from
top to bottom"
He paused. gazing as one bewildered
at his daughter.
Gene" he continued, they used to
say that hell would freeze over when
Timber Creek went Republican. l

we'll have a pretty severe winter.
Gene"
He hobbled aimlessly through the
house and out upon the front porch.
Presently he called to her, and the
girl hastened to his side.
Isn't that Wilbur Jenkins comm
down the road, Gene" he asked.
A young man, driving a fine team of
sorrels hitched to a farm wagon. was
approaching them.
Yes, pa" the oma replied, a fiush
mounting to her cheek"
Tell him to come in here, Gene"
her father commanded. 81 want to see
him."
The blood left the girls face and her
limbs trembled. but without a word,
she walked down to the gate. She
spoke a few words TO the young man,
and he drew rein and climbed down
from his wagon. Side by side. the
girls pale face. the mans defiant, they
walked to the porch. where the old
man stood watching them, a queer
look in his eyes.

t~hetically, Timber Creek went Repub-

Yes, sir" replied the other, smil-

softly, his voice trembling. his eyes
shining with unshed tears, "Ill give

Paris Shops Contain Many Novelties Not
Seen
The worlds greatest depot for
Christmas toys is Paris, and in the
shops of that city are found some of
ingenuity that can be seen anywhere.
Not only are these toys of interest to
the children, older people take great
delight in inspecting them.
AT each yuletide an exposition of
toys is held in the French metropolis.
The island opposite the tribune of JUS
tice is the place usually selected. On
one side of the stairway leading to the
toy exposition you are confronted by
a tablet telling that this place was
built by order of Napoleon ILL.,. en-
peror of the French" on the other by
a tablet concentrating his first visit
to it in company with the empress;
over the door is the old. untitled yearn-
ings of the people. "Libertie. Egalitie,
Fraternitie." and these p%laythings and
a number of uniformed gems d'armes
lead appropriately to the room full of
smaller toys which form the real ex-
position.
Only toys costing from one to sixty
cents are admitted. But between these
values a long range of wonders is die
played. One sees few toy kitchens. or
doll houses. or carpenter boxes. In
stead are toy toilet sets, with little
mirrors and powder puffs. for the en-
bryo coquette, soldier suits a-plenty.
and gems d'arme uniforms, and, above

being wound up, chops the meat on
the block before him into hamburger
steak, a m d'arme who holds up his
club as IL to stop a line of carriages;
an orange vender, who will walk across
the floor wheeling her handcart before
her; a bonnie" with long-streamered
cap on her head and a baby in her
arms; the whole population of Paris
in miniature; in short. all of whom
Will act in becoming and Partisan
fashion. If you will turn the keys in
their backs.
There is a clever little aquarium
made like a picture OF the ocean bed,
with wrecks and seaweed on the sand.
1t is framed and hung against the
wall, but the fish in this marine paint
ing are alive and swim about in real
water.
The main interest in the exposition
is not, after all. in the toys, clever as
these are; it is in the fact that such
crowds press to see them-crowds of
"grown-ups,'' not of children. Hardly
n in ten of those who go is even ac-
companied by a child. The other nine
are simply big children, breathlessly
interested in every one of the toys,
gasping with delight owe the little
mechanical men. laughing at every
thing, watching open-mouthed the
Santos-Dumont balloons-great chill
dren. some Of them evidently men of
place and cultivation, but all equally
pleased with a rattle. tickled with a
straw'-great children who can ordi-
narily be controlled like babies by a
word-there never was so orderly and
tractable a crowd as a French crowd
but who can yet fly into ungovernable
RACES, past all self-control or reach of
reason, and make unnecessary revolu-
tions.

The president recently delivered some pertinent advice to certain lead CTS of the Republican party in the South. As is his custom Mir. Roosevelt spoke emphstically and to the point.
 He said he was disgusted with Repdb- lican organizations which, in their greed for patronage, sacrificed the in- terests of the party, and that the great est triumph for 6 Republican organiza- tion in the South would be to send a Republican to congress. Mir. RoOse- velt's views in this direction have long been known in Washington and it is believed here that his reproof will have a most beneficial effect on the party. The growth of manufacturing interests ID the southern states is resulting in an increasing protection sentiment, and if the most is made of the situation there is reason to believe that the time is not far distant when substantial gains will be made by the party in that locality.

A comprehensive report of the oc-

A comprehensive report of the Oc- currence of copper in the vicinity of Clifton, in Southern Arizona, is Icing prepared by Mir. w. Lindgren, geolo- gist of the United States geological survey. The field work on which the report Is based was commenced early in November last. The mines near Cliff ton produce at present approximately 2,5O0 tons of copper month, and the mining district ranks third among the copper producers of the territory, only United Verde and Blsbee exceeding 1t. The geological survey had previously prepared detailed topographic map of the region, and the geologic work begun in the autumn was completed in the winter. Special attention was given to a study of the mines, in which portion Of the work four months were spent. The results will be of general interest. as the investigation largely dealt with the secondary concentration so common in copper deposits, and also with the character of the original de- posits, which are remarkable, inas- much as they consist of masses of lime stone altered by cOntact-metamorphic processes.

Gov. Savers Investigating.

Austin, Tex, April 11.-Gov. Sayers
has been urged to issue an appeal to
the people of Texas for aid for the
drought sufferers on the lower Rio
Grande border. He has written TO re-
sponsible parties living in the stricken
section for full information, and if the
reports of starvation and restitution
are verified he will call upon the peo-
pie of the state to render aid to the
sufferers.
1t is stated that hundreds, of people
have abandoned the ranches located
back from the Rio Grslnde for dis
lance of sixty miles, and have made
their way to the river, where they are
at least assured a supply of water. The
destitute people have been subsistins
on the roots of cactis for several months.
1t has been more than two years since
any rain has fallen in that section.
The citizens of Houston have raised
1854, and the members of the Texas
Lumbermen's association have sub
scribed 5000 for the relief of Zapata
county.
President Oscar Lenglet, of the Fort
Worth Retail Liquor Dealers associa.-
ton has addressed a letter to every
wholesale and retail dealer in the state
asking them to donate literally to the
needs of these starving people.
