Sir Ground Hog Saw the
 Town.

Town.
 On February 2d, in accordance with the usual custom, Mir. and Mrs. Ground Hog and their three children, came out of their hole, up near the Treadwell ditch. Having rested long time, they were not at all sleepy, so they arose early in the morning, perhaps about 3 o'clock. Coming to the edge of the ditch, they took long look toward the east. Mrs. Ground Hog, whose eyes were sharper than the old mans, espied twinkle of light in the distance. "What's that?" she cried. "Street lights in Douglas" replied Sir Ground Hog. "Must be a new thing" "Yawl YawV cried the raven, as he flew over the trees and lit on log near the group. "Sixteen power incandescent lights" "What does that mean?" asked the Ground Hog. "It takes only sixteen of lem to make as much light as candle" replied the raven. "Come on down near Mu,ray's water tank and I'll show you the town"
 They all readily agreed to this, and led by the Raven, they slowly made their way down the hill. By the time they reached the water tank, day was breaking and Mrs. Ground Hogs quick eyes discovered the new school build- ing looming up. through the snow. "What's that?" she asked. "School House." said the Raven. "Did the gov ernment build it?" "Not on your tin type" said the Raven. "The town gets half the tax money" "Tax on what?" "Oh, stores, shops and saloons" "What! build school house with money taken from the saloons?" "Yep," said the old Raven with disgusted look, "there neyer-would have been decent school house in Douglas any other way. All the towns in the States are falling over themselves to get Carnegie to give them a library, and most of the colleges are tickled to death to get a lift out ot Rockefeller's Standard Oil sack, which strikes us as blamed sight worse than letting the saloons collect your school taxes" and after this the Raven flew oil to the beach to get his breakfast.
 After the Raven left them, the Ground Hog family continued to look down at the town. They saw the new Odd Eel lows Hall, the Roene building, the new Iy planked streets, the churches, and the happy, we'll dressed people on the streets, and finally MT. Ground Hog turned to his wife and family and said 'sThis town of Douglas has improved wonderfully during the last year, anc it's pretty good place to live, after all . l have been told that the people ar' n ;, bad-awfully bad, but don't believe it. They are honest, and pay thei debts, that's certain, and they hav' built lots of churches, and they mine ? their own business, and if you Urea them half right they'll do the squar thing all around. I hope no one vii try to throw them down. It's only sl: weeks until election, and 1 think w
 may as we'll stay right here"

I'm Rhode Island, as in some other

was to designate the guilty man 1t
would be he, who acting through
agents has bribed hundreds of voters
by disbursing tens of thousands of dol

rather than one who has been but a

pose OF the good people OF this state
to suppress bribery at the election Of

hid them in this effort to the extent

Philadelphia. June 26. = The name
of Charles Herbert Clark, the widely
known economist, author and expert
in the manufacturing arts, is being
urged in connection with the appoint-
ment as chief of the new bureau OF

merce and labor. Powerful influences
are being brought upon both Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Cortel-
you in Clark's behalf by leading man
ufacturers of this city and all parts
of Pennsylvania and the great man
ufacturing east.
Politically Clark has long been
known as an anti-Quay and anti-or-
ganization man, but rather than allow
the place to go to California 1t is be-
lieved that the political chieftains
will consent to support him for tho
position.
