Washington OH Partisanship.

There is an opinion in free coun-
tries that parties are useful checks
upon the administration of the gov
eminent and serve to keep alive the
spirit of liberty. This, within GER
tain bounds, probably is true, and in
governments of a monarchial cast
patriotism may look with indulgence,
if not with favor, upon the spirit of
party. But in those of popular char
acter-in governments purely elect
ive-it is a spirit not to be encour-
aged From their natural tendency
it is certain there will always be
enough Of this spirit for every salu-
tary purpose. And there being con-
sistent danger of excess the effort
ought to be by force of public opin-
ion to mitigate and assuage it

Then Elizabeth understood instant
~ why she had been brought here. She
had come from Mrs. Mobiles house and
was dressed in little Miss Elenor's
clothes. The men had taken her for
Miss Elenor and were trying to find
out about Capt. Noble. In her loyal
heart she resolved never, never to be-
tray her friends, not even if the SOL
diers killed her for her silence. If
she spoke at all she must tell the
truth, for she had been taught that a

been to invite Elizabeth to the house,
whence she issued clad in a complete
outfit of little Miss Elenor's garments.
Elizabeth's heart was full of grateful
thoughts
II do so desire to serve Mrs. Noble"
she said, softly. Then her mind went
back to a strange thing that occurred.
While Mrs. Noble was fitting the gar
ments on her they had heard the
voices of two men in an adjoining
room. The lady went quickly to the
door and the voices became silent.
Who could they De? Capt. Noble was
with Washington; it could not be he.
And yet rumor spoke of the daring and
skill of the captain in venturing into
this very city, British possessed as it
was, and gathering valuable informa-
ton for his beloved general.
But Elizabeth's attention was at
tracted at this moment by man who
seemed to be following her. She was
a brave; ouick-witted child, but her
heart beat faster as She perceived that

Ifall the wild turkeys in the Mogollon

Even then the turkeys were not in

held aloof from white companionship
longer than any other American In
dian.
Not until two years ago, when John
Dacey, the chief of the tribe, was killed
in quarrel with deputy sheriff, did
the Cibiques permit a white man to
go to their hunts or to attend their
feasts. Since then they have accept
ed the newcomers as a necessary evil,
and last year they invited number of
officers from Fort Apache, together
with several civilians, to accompany
them. ..
Nearly 70 bucks, with the seven or
eight whites, killed more than 100
birds in the hunt of two days. In
the dense and nearly impenetrab1e

turkeys were extremely difficult to

The white guests soon wearied of
| the tiresome work of crawling and
writing through the brush, and most
| of them awaited at the camp the re-
| turn of the red hunters. Not a bird
was touched in camp until all the
| hunters were in, and then the squaws
prepared the feast.
That night and all next day the
| gorging lasted. The following day it
| continued, and then hash was made of
the remains. This diet served an
other day, and then the last of the
white party left the village.
Three days later one of the white
men CHANGED again to visit the village.
He found the whole population alb
sorbing turkey soup, while the chief
declared that the bones would serve
food purposes for three more days.
One day lately party from Globe
shot nine turkeys near Turkey creek
three of the birds weighing over q
pounds and one tipping the scales at
AZ pounds, the largest ever known to
be killed, although the Apache guide
declared he had shot turkeys weigh
ing so pounds.

Beauty q Ia Japanese.

A japanese belle is smaller than
her European sister, but even in
western eyes shesfs distinctly pretty
as long as her youth lasts. AS a rule
the japanese have very sallow COM
plexions, but these are hidden with
paint and powder. Indeed, so well
are they hidden that on the neck of
a Japanese woman is a hard line
showing where art ends and nature
begins. Beauty, according : to the
Japanese standard, consists of a
long, oval face, regular features with
almond-shaped eyes, slightly sloping
upward, high, narrow forehead and
an abundance of straight black hair.
