Fifty Dollars Worth of Advice

1t seems always to have lain within

name was Delacour. The waiter was

his orders in very domineering fashion,
finding fault freely with what was put
before him and the way in which 1t was
served. Finally the waiter became in

Certainly not. But do 1t by process

The landlord was first interviewed and
the waiter discharged. That was not
sufficient to satisfy the wounded feelings
of Mr.. Delacour. He asked who was
the best lawyer in the city and was told
it was Rufus Choate. Making his way
to his office, he said: "Mr. Choate,

lard Mr.. Blethen is stockholder in
the Associated Press. and has been in
New York, attending the meeting Of the
board of directors. He has been en-
gagged in the newspaper business nearly
half century, and has been publisher
most of that time. For years he lived In
Maine, and was friend and admirer OF
James G. Blaine.
When Mr.. Blaine was a candidate for
the Presidency, Mr. Blethen was gen

the Kansas City Journal" and was a
strong Blaine supporter. Later he was
associated with a paying paper at Min
neapolis.

what he could appease them, and still

Gov Mcbride and the Railroad Merger

en-. THE general prosperity in that
country precludes all possibility of there
being any change there in the way the
votes go. The people are satisfied with
the present Administration. They like
President Roosevelt, and there is gen

not include the Pacific Coast States.
Now. take my State, for example.
Everything is Republican there. No
fights of any kind have occurred. except
that between Governor Mcbride and the
railroad lobby over the question of the
merger. That is more serious than it
appears on the surface, however. The
governor has made fight against the
interests of Hill and Mellin and there is
very grave doubt whether the merger
would not be for the best interest of the
State.
For instance, since the pooling OF
issues by the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific, great many improve
ments have been made, ard recently
voluntary reduction of freight rates OF
about 10 per cent. This affects all
classes of shipments In which the farm
ers are interested, and enables them to
market their products with greatly In
creased profits. The farmers are not
opposed to the merger.

Prosperity of Washington State.

prosperity wave had hit Washington
continued Mr.. Blethen. Il have seer
that contention disputed in some East

to the collapse of Dawson City and the
failure of the Klondike country. Now
I'll tell you of the collapse of Dawson
City. The Canadian government has
stepped in and has weeded out the cut
throats and the thugs. and left the le-
gitimate merchant, the honest gold
seeker, and other desirable citizens

has not injured the State of Washing
ton The trade of the gold country
still comes through our State, and, OF
course. a share remains there.
Gold mining in the Klondlke country
is Just as great an industry as it ever
was, and it is my belief that there
is enough Of the yellow metal there to
wipe out the government debts of the
world. OF course, the placer mining
is getting scarce, but there is still gold
In the cheap ore and in the quartz.
After the placer mining has been ex-
hausted, the man without money will
have to take up employment with min

The loss to geological science in the disappear

unwise the waste has been.
The extirpation of the fur seal and sea otter de-
prives this country of millions of dollars of
annual revenue; the elk and deer, if carefully pro-
tected, would yield flesh and skins of considerable
value; the wild pigeon and the prairie chicken,
nearly extinct, have had definite market value of
no small amount.

SAMUEL ELMORE kELL.

1t Is with feelings Of sadness that we
mention the death of the little boy
whose name heads this notice. He was
not quite eleven months old, and while
the earlier months Of his short life were
those of suffering to himself and of
great anxiety to his parents, his health
had been SO much improved in the re-
cent past until suspense and anxiety
had given place to hope, and they in
common with anxious friends felt that
the crisis in his infant life had been
safely tided over.
He was taken seriously sick on Dec.
ember %, and died about noon the fol.
lowing day. His father is o physician
Of extensive practice and wide expert
enee, but his own skill and O fathers
care, with the assistance Of two other
able physicians were not able to stay the
hand of death. His condition seemed to
be hopeless from the beginning of
the attack. His suffering, though
severe was brief, He was q child Of
unusual brightness and promise. His
death is q sorrowful atfliction 70 his fond
father and a great bereavement to his
mother. The separation from him is
oil the more painful from the fact that
two others have been taken away. The
funeral services were conducted by Rev.
w. o. stephen, Of Moss Point and the
writer in tho presenc OF q large num-
Der of friends and relatives. "Safe in
