Talking about heavy. grain-Ells-

and told us ne thought ne could take
the prize for the heaviest grain on the
prairie this year. He has just finished
binding some grain for hay and said
1t took pounds of Irvine to the acre
to bind 1t. The wheat stood over Z
feet tall and was cut pretty high for
binding but had It been cut with n
mower it would have easily have ave-

the measure was not defeated and an
additional $500 in the event the SUI
preme court should declare the bill
unconstitutional
The first $500 was paid in advance.
The attorneys carried the bill into the
courts and as is well known it was
knocked out by a vote of two judges
against one. The lawyers had done
their work and they naturally expected
their clients to carry out the agree
ment for the fee.
A public, or rather q semi public
meeting has just been held in the Of

question of raising the second $500.
This has not been paid and the attor-

fairly and squarely won the fee and

What measures have been taken to
gather up the necessary amount has
not been published. It is impossible to
say who will dig up the $500 to dis
charge this agreed obligation. 1t has
been suggested that the debt be raised
through the proceeds of n dime fair.

Humor qna Philosophy
BY DUNCAN N. SMITH
THE SHEDDING SEASON.

With the first dim. faint suggestion
That the summer seasons due,
When no longer pipes the question,
rs 1t cold enough for your"
When the grass comes softly stealing.
And the pilgrim turns to golf
Bound to shake that tired feeling
Then We take our flannels off.
Summer smiling prematurely
On some calm, serene spring day
Causes US to argue surely
1T has this time come to stay"
So we take a chance at guessing.
Needless though the cynics scoff,
That it's time for thinner dressing,
And we take our f1annels of.
Well the wind its shafts may temper
To the lambkin that is shorn.
Causing 1t to miss distemper
And to view the blasts with scorn.
But it sends a measure double,
Causing at the least cough,
But more often loads Of trouble
When we take our flannels off.
Eagerly the ozone shifting,
Man says winter Is wreck
When the suns warm rays are biting
Earth a swift punch In the neck,
And he sheds his heavy raiment.
Though his years are more than ten,
But next day when he draws payment
Then he slips 'em on again.

It is an embar- rassment of riches, however. 1t will be recalled that the United States joined with the other Powers in sending troops to Pe- kin at the time of these troubles, and that it also joined with them in the claims which were made upon the Chinese government for indemnity. 1t will also be recall ed that it proceeded upon quite different basis from some ofthe other nations in making up the amount of indemnity demanded from a nation powerless to pro- tect itself, with a government scattered and distracted and the allied soldiers of a half-dozen na- tions in its capital. 1t was rath- CT forced, however, to unity of action with the other Powers, and was awarded $24,O0O,OOO as its share of the amount, which was to be paid in annual install ments. The adjucators have dis covered tha the claims of citizens of this country do not amount to $2,OOO,OOO. which have been paid in full from sums already re- ceived. This being the case, the State department is not inclined to accept the other $22, 100000, and intends to return it to China, holding that China should not be compelled to pay the expenses of the military expedition to their capital, even though the Chinese government might have been in a sense responsible for the Boxer uprising. If our Government made unjust demands through mistake upon a nation prostrate and powerless, there should be no question about fighting the wrong by restoring the surplus. This would be the true ethics in the case of an individual, why not of a nation? The embarrass- ing feature arises from the fact that a return of the money may serve as a reflection upon the other nations participating in the holdup, some of whom took even larger amounts, and, who show no indication that they made any mistake in thelr figures, and all of whom made the expen- ses of their military expedition large part of their claim. It would not be the first time the United States has performed such an act. In 1885 it returned $3OO,OOO to China, and only few years ago returned to Cana da almost $15, 5,OOO,OOO remain ing from an indemnity she had paid because ofdamages to Amer ican fishing interests. If injus- t1ce has been done China we can afford to ratify it, even if some of the other governments do not like our policy.

 Compromise in Storm Case
 A compromise has been effected between the bondsmen of James P. Storm, eX-county treasurer of Yavapa1 county, and the Board of Supervisors of that county, by which the county received $1O.- 900 for the $15,3S6 which disap- peared from the county treasury while Storm had charge of the money.
 J.J. Hawkins appeared before the supervisors in behalf of the bondsmen and urged that the compromise be made. His reas- ons for this were that several of the bondsmen were unable to contribute to the amount neces- sarv to replace the deficit and this made a great burden on those who could pay; further more, if the case was to be set. tied in the courts, it might be and would drag on for an indefinite period of time dur ing which the county would be deprived of the money. Already the $1O,OOO has been paid to County Treasurer Ed. s. Wright and the bondsmen have been re- leased. The suit filed in the dis trict court has not been with drawn and Storm will be sued for the full amount.-Phoenix i Enterprise.
