had only half punches scattered
round in spots, while others had a

The experience of the other boys
I am unable to relate. We never
spoke about the affair afterward
But old Sam Goodland suffered
even more than / did, and served
him right, to-. Inithe first place,
he couldn't run so fast; and in the
second place, he was bigger, and
therefore the bees had a better
chance to get in their work on him.
And then he met with no sympa-
thy at home. When he told his
daughters how he had whipped
the boys they all cried: "Shame!'
and roasted him numerically.
You see, Hiram, they liked the
boys, if the old man didn't.
Strange, isn't it?
I frankly admit that l was mis-
taken about the number of bees in
that particular swarm. There
certainly were millions in it. Per-
haps there were more bees than
there are mosquitoes in Minnesota.
[ am positive that at least 100000
injected their venom into my nose
alone. A still greater number
attacked my neck and throat, and
at the least calculation 100000 of
bees sent their stingers through
my thin summer clothing. But
it's my belief had I been clothed in
13-inch armor plate they would
have stung through 1t all the
same.
Hiram, I was at Stagnationville
last week, and [ had intended to
send you batch of news from
your friends down there, but you
will have to wait till you get my
next letter. | hear a noise down
in the cellar, and [ believe one Of

suspicious prove true there'll be

there is more life and vigor in old
Slowgo than he gives him credit
for.

Labor Day.

Mr.. Edutor,
Deer Sturdy the Twin twist,
if Labor Day wasn't the best holi-
day I've sawed for hull bunch of
time, then I'm no Dutchman! No,
l hain't.
The way them cullered gents
from the sunny South went after
them watermelons was like ten
cent politician runnin' after a two
cent job up in Duluth. It was the
first time I ever sawed a critter
eat a watermelon like a horse
drinkin' i. out of a tin pail. They
jest closed their eyes like a Teller
startin' to dive in a twelve-foot
pond an went at it head first, an
1 swear that if they could only
have pulled their feet in it would
have tickled their audience to
death. The only fun [ could see
was lookin' at them an hollerin'
cause the other fellows did. That's
all. But the cullered gents said it
was delightful an called for more
watermelon. Yes, they did. You
no they had enuff watermelon in
their hair to last their best girl for
month. They reminded me of a
whale spoutin' in mid-ocean, an
80 natural was the spout that Ad-
miral Sinbad declared that it real
| ly made him homesick to be on
salt water again. Yes, he did.
But the swatermelons wasn't in
it with the pie contest. One Teller
in particular unbuttoned his shirt
lumber-jack fashion, you no, took
a full breath, swallered a chew oil
tobacco, prayed for north wind
an at the word Go he made one
dive, took the hull center out of g
pie, an bit out the bottom of a pie
tin, an down it went. He then
trimmed up the edges an held uI
what was left of the pie plate
which looked like tramp's hal
after a railroad wreck. Then be
called for more pie. Now, thai
chap said his stomach was linec
with zinc, an I guess it is by this

Fearless And Independent.

The Chicago Record Herald is a
conspicuous example of the sue
cess with which the public rewards
fearless nonpartisanship in the
columns of great metropolitan
daily paper. It is an independent
newspaper, in which men and
measures are invariably viewed
wholly from the standpoint of the
public good and not from that of
the interests of any particular po-
litical party. It is the very reverse
of neutral-fearless and outspoken
on all the great questions of the
day, but presenting It's editorial
opinion upon independent judg-
ment and entirely regardless of
political affiliations. Partisanship
is barred as strictly from the news
columns as from the editorial page.
All political news Is given without
partisan color1ng, thus enabling
the reader to form correct conclu-
sions for himself. In the ordinary
partisan newspaper political news
is usually colored to such an extent
as to make it difficult if not impos-
sible for the reader to secure
sound basis for intelligent judg-
ment. Ado.

Anarchy.


Our President, referring to the
conditions in the, South about a
year ago, made the statement that
anarchy was the mother of tyranny.
Admitting that the statement is
true, and considering it from the
most liberal standpoint, we can
draw but one conclusion; that is,
if anarchy is the mother of tyranny,
then the human passions uncon-
trolled by some set rule of action
is the mother of anarchy.
As to the causes of mobbing and
lynching, there have been many
theories given, such as race preju-
dice, rights of citizenship, person
al rights, equality, educational
rights, and lastly the judicial
branch of government has been
blamed. There is no question but
that security of life and property
has been endangered by the in
human punishment of individuals
by mobs in place of by an orderly
and an unprejudiced court. Our
individual liberty depends entirely
upon the enforcement of law and
good government, and those who
attempt to destroy these institu.
tions in the name of liberty and
justice, destroy their own immuni-
ty and invite the injustice of in
dividual oppression.
It is the natural inclination to
lay the blame of anarchy on those
whose natural instincts are for
vengeance in place of justice, or
for brute force in place of law.
Mob law is one of the great dan
gers to free and republican form
of government. There is no ques-
ton but that every civilized coun-
try must have some law, and those
who are incapable of ruling them
selves must be ruled by those who
have the ability to rule them. Ii
men will not control their savage
instincts, and if law and govern
ment cannot enforce their rulings
and desires, then law and govern
ment will themselves dissolve into
anarchy, out of which there will
arise party strong enough to rule
those that will not or cannot rule
themselves.
! There seems to be a tendency on
the part of many writer's to throw
the cause of anarchy on the judi.
cial branch of our government
Whether they have drawn their
conclusions by careful study or not
I am not in a position to say. A
writer stated not long ago that per.

sons who criticize our courts are
called anarchists, defamers of the
bench, conspirators against the
government. Let as ask the ques-
tion: Who does most to destroy
faith in courts, to cause dissatis-
faction, and to add reason to the
argument that justice is suscept-
ible to the weight Of influence?
IL there is one body Of men more
than another who have given
ground for discomfort, they. are
those whose professional habits or
desire for popularity has caused
them to hesitate to punish wrong,
or to show mercy to those deserv-
ing of it. When a mans surround
! ings are such that he is not him
self, but part of a party or clique,
then he is an associate in the social
crime of anarchy. If it is the ma
ture of our laws that they throw
network around officials in the
performance of their duties, then
it is high time for revision of our
laws.
While [ am not in a position to
advance a remedy for this evil, yet
l would advocate court system
appointing all judges and prosecu-
tors for life. to be removed only
for justifiable cause; because I
question very much whether our
laws will ever receive their due
reverence when our courts are
obliged to go hand in hand with
local politics.
L trust that the time will come
when the servants of our grand
American republic will be placed
in a position where they can adj
minister the laws without being
obliged to cater to any party, local
or otherwise, or to take into con-
sideration what they think will be
personally advantageous to them
at some future time.
If that period in our history ever
comes you will see fewer men be-
hind prison bars, there will be more
respect for law, and you will wit
ness more honor among men.

The angry Tree"

The ''angry tree" a woody plant
which grows from ten to twenty
FIVE feet high, and which was
formerly supposed to exist only in
one state in the Union, Nevada,
has been found both in eastern
California and in Arizona. If dis
turbed, this peculiar tree shows
every sign of vexation, even to
rufaing up it's leaves like the hair
on an angry cat and giving forth
an unpleasant, sickening odor.-Ex.

m n a Y Dear Son: The feel
~ ing Of animosity per-
vading your remarks
L on the Minnesota mos

quitoes is perhaps par
donable on the ground that most
likely they took mean advantage
of you. Not only mosquitoes, but
other insects as we'll have a habit
of making one acquainted with
their business ends when one leas,
expects it. [ we'll remember what
happened to Rube Stiltweed, joel
Stringer, Amos Subsoil and myself
when we were boys. We were
having a good time in old Sam
Goodlamb's woods on Indian Hill
Just rambling about, joking, quar-
relling, telling lies, throwing stones
at birds and squirrels, and all that
you know, enjoying ourselves as
only boys free from all care know
how to enjoy themselves. 1t was
a rather warm summer day, but we
didn't mind that. Boys pever mind
the hot weather as long as there is
no work connected with it. 1t is
only when they are told to perform
some labor that boys begin to com
plain about the heat. And, OF
course, all who understand boys,
and more especially the peculiai
traits that distinguish them from
men, know that boys will lie under
any and all circumstances. Boys
are natural liars. Natural liars are
savages. Civilized man never lies
for the sake of lying. He only
lies to cheat either himself or his
neighbor. These sweeping gener-
alizations you can easily verify by
looking into your own nature. AS
boy you could outlie anything
in Stagnation County, or in
YORK State, for that matter. am
glad you have outgrown the habit,
Hiram.
Well, then, when we were near
the top of the hill Joel Stringer,
whose head has a backward tilt
due, according to Prof. Humbug,
to an overgrown bump of self-es-
TEEN, discovered a swarm Of bees
which had settled for some reason
best known to themselves on y
limb of a wild cherry tree, about
ten feet from the ground. Helost
no time in making known his dis
covery, and we all stood looking at
the bees, wondering where they
came from, and where they would
finally 60 to. It was good sized
swarm, and by and by we fell to
guessing the number of bees that
made up the swarm. Rube, who
liked big figures, said there were
at least a million, or perhaps even
billion bees in that swarm.
fatty contradicted him, because
We always kept bees, and father
had often told me the ordinary
swarm contained only few thou
sands of bees. Amos then Clipped
in, and said it was foolish to sup
pose a million bees together woulc
only make lump as big as stove
pipe hat. Joel Stringer, who ever
as boy was as stubborn as a mule
and who always took it upon him
self to act the part of final arbitrat
or from whose decision it would b.
foolish to appeal, now put on al
air of authority and loudly pro
claimed that Rube's guess wa
about right, and that we two othe
BOYS didn't know a bee from
grassbopper.
"How do you know?' aske'
Amos Subsoil.
Because my pa told me there
a million bees in a swarm" h
replied; "and," he added after
few moments reflection, she ough
to know, for he was very nea

eye on young sStiltweed because L
knew he was a sneak who never
fought fair. Suddenly he made
an attempt to catch Amos by the
leg, but I had him by the wool be-
fore he succeeded. Well, Hiram,
we fought with hands, and feet,
and teeth, and nails-hitting, kick
ing, biting, scratching; stumbling
over rocks and broken limbs OF
trees; rolling over and over, get
ting up only to renew the fighting.
il think it was the hardest battle
ever fought outside of football
ground. 1t is foolish to fight hard
battles. Hiram. And the bloodier
the battles, the bigger the fools
that fight them. Put that in your
pipe, and smoke it.
We might have been fghtingyet,
for we were pretty evenly matched,
had not something happened. 1t
seems that old Sam Goodland who
hated boys on general principles,
and more especially because he
had no boys Of his own, but was
burdened with the care of eleven
grown and half grown daughters
an awful load, by the way-had
seen US trespassing on his ground,
and had followed us with a whip.
We, of course, were altogether too
busily engaged lambasting each
other to notice his approach, and
he must have chuckled to himself
when he found he did not have to
run after us-he was rather stout,
and running wasn't to his liking.
When he got to us he piled his
whip with vigor and impartlality
that would have won our applause
had we not ourselves been the
victims Of his vigorous blows i'm
partially applied. But before we
had time fully to realize what had
Interrupted our conflict, something
else happened. It appears that
the bloodthirsty old villain acct
dentally touched and irritated the
bees as he swung his whip for our
benefit, and the bees accepted the
challenge at once. In less time
than it takes to mention it they
had formed their line ofbattIe, and
they charged the enemy with a
swiftness, directness, and a per:
sistency that would have elected
smile of approval from the lips of
Napoleon or Won Moltke. Talk
about your double-action hammer
less revolvers, your magazine guns,
your repeaters, self-loaders, auto
matte firing guns, dynamite guns,
and 16-inch cannon! I am willing
to make affidavit now, or on my
deathbed, if required, that any of
these guns singly, or all of them
conformity, and the sons of guns
superadded, are not in it with the
business end of bee in fairly good
working order. 1t is we'll you

future. If you could have seen

they were wings on a Dutch wind

steep hillside; then the final effort,

Souaw winter is the precursor
of Indian summer, it is said, but
as TO the exact time of their ar
rival many minds differ. Some
have, it that they are not due un-
til after Hallswe ZEN; then there
are others who claim that Indian
summer is usually about the last
week in October and that squaw
winter is a myth. An octogenar-
ian told the writer that the dates
vary, depending upon the condi-
tions of the season for several
months previous. For instance,
sauaw winter this year will be
late, because the summer was so
cool. There is, he said, so much
heat coming to us every year. If
we do not get it in the summer
we will get it later on. That is
why this fall has been so mild
and pleasant so long and so late,
and probably there is more nice
weather before us.
