There are thousands and thousands

Virginia mountains that are to day
standing idle and are well-nigh worth

that these acres could not be trans
formed into orchards and made to
produce something more than an in
crease in the tax tickets of the owner.

that composed the Southern onfeder-

adopted. practiced. and adhe I'd to by
one or twO-Or, better-three Or four
successive Republican administrations.
The thing IN that section tina calls it
self the Republican party il loafer
that is in politics for meat anG bread,
and is as destitute of patriotism as it
is devoid of character. 1t app oints the
public servants and it's most important
concern is to grow crop of Southern
delegates, quadrennially. to market at
Republican national conventions. 1t
is pariah and scamp, and the South
will be practically solid as long as it
purveys the official patronage of the
Federal government. Self-respect, il
not self-interest, forces the South to be
Democratic. What the Republican
party needs is a President brave enough
to drive these cattle out of the party.
or rich enough to buy their appointed
delegates and pay for them with cash
rather than patronage.
And this philosophy and patriotism
is as much for the Democrats as the
Republicans. If the next President
is Democrat-and he will be Dem
ocrat if the party discovers sense
enough to put up" panel of draw
bars''-the very best thing he could
do. both for the country and for the
party, would be to continue in Office

publican community at the North. l

dous roar that ever was. know that
liberty would bleed at every pore. l
know that the Democratic party would

Arnold at every cross roads; but the
country could stand it and the Dem |

by the facts OF history
that official patronage has lost more

now" whispered the ore.9 "One GER
tainly has strange experiences when
one is strata Of the finest ore. You
may be glad that you are not as tai
ented as ! am. 1t brings its own
troubles with it."
Just then a miner lit a fuse that
led into the black stuff in the wound.
And in another minute all the ores in
the mine thought that surely the top
ore had been correct when it prophe-
sled the end of the world; for there
was a tremendous roar and then a
whitening blast of fire and then every
thing was filled with choking fumes.
But when these cleared away, the
world was still just as solid as it ever
had been; the only sufferer was the
top piece of ore, which had been
blown into a thousand pieces.
However, its conversational ability
had not been at all injured by the ex-
perience. Indeed, it had been in
creased, for each fragment spoke for
itself.
1--WE have movedp they cried. "We
have moved. Now we only hope that
you will not be crushed by the weight

any longer. We are going on our
travels, and we shall achieve some
thing"
Go on its travels it did. With rum
| bic and roar the black ore-cars came
laundering down from the daylight
to the dark and carried the broken
ore away to the surface, where it was
seized by human hands and steel hands
and beaten and crushed and melted
and fused and rolled and welded until
it felt quite certain that the whole
round earth was doing nothing ex-
cept to work over it.
So it. stretched and stiffened itself
and shone with vanity until one day
it heard voice say:
"This is fine steel. We will take il
for Our pen factory"
We'll, well!" said the ore, which
was now steel, to itself: "How quick
| ly true merit is recognized. To think
that | am to go to the pen factory
and to become a writer. How the
other ores would envy me if they
knew it.
This was said SO pompously that the
men said: Listen to the fine temper
of this steel. 1t actually sings"
So the ore, which was now steel
went in state to the pen factory anc

The photographic office in San
Francisco has always found the Paci-
hc Coast shippers willing helpers in its
work of discovering new currents and
rendering more accurate the marine
navigation charts. One of the most
active observers among the master
marines was Capt Calhoun of the bark
Ceylon. On his trips to Honolulu and
Tahaiti he would often cast over
board bottle containing a piece of
paper upon which would be inscribed
the latitude and longitude Of the ships
position when the bottle was thrown
overheard.
He did this one day down in the
South Seas. The paper in the bottle
read:
"This was thrown overheard from
the bark Ceylon on Jan. 10, 1901, in
lat. - and long. -. The finder
will please return to Capt. Calhoun at
Honolulu or San Francisco"
About two and half years after the
bottle with this inscription had
been thrown over in midocean two
roughly clad sailors came aboard the
Ceylon in San Francisco and knocked
at the cabin door. The steward ap-
peared.

the seamen in strong Scandinavian ac-

Eyes, but he isn't up yet" replied
the steward
"Den give him dis" said one of the
strangers, and he gave the steward a
package done up in newspaper.
When the captain arose he undid
the package and found the bottle he
had thrown overheard two years pre-
viously. He looked at the paper, but
to his disappointment, found no rec
ord of when or where it had been
found. Then he turned it over and
read:
