Nanny. She didn't know he was
big enough to march in the pro-
cession with the rest.
Later in the day the dreary little
procession was moving slowly
along the narrow, dusty streets of
the struggling Southern town, to-
ward the road leading to the ceme-
terry where 'the men who died"
had their humble graves. 1t was
meager little procession, indeed.
A drum and fife furnished the
music; there were a few white men
who led, and then a Struggling line
Of colored people, men and women,
too, each carrying little bunch of
flowers; and behind them all hob
bled little Joe. Even their slow
pace was too fast for him, weary
and foot-sore as he was; but he
struggled bravely to keep up, and
held his head high, and carried
his big posy proudly,-the biggest
of all, as he had thought it would.
But no; Joe wasn't quite the last
one-Jack was last, close behind
Joe, and much impressed with the
dignity of the occasion.

times, and soon toiling along the
dusty road. 1t was bright,
warm morning, and Joe sang like
a little blacll-bird as he lilnped
along; past the log cabins like his
own, where swarms of children
were already about, and dogs of
all sizes came yelping out and
gave them noisy welcome; past the
broad fields where lately the kale
and spinach had been cut, where
the level country stretch away on
either hand, unbroken by wall or
fence, the boundary lines being
bitches or low hedges, till he turn
ed off to follow the Branch, only
a narrow creek, up into the swamp
lands where the flowers grew. Oh,
what a wealth of them, as if
purpose for oe all he had hoped
and more He picked and picked,
meantime looking warily about for
moccasons. His posy would be the
biggest and gayest of them all, he
said to himself, as at last he tied
his flowers into great, Struggling
bunch with strip torn from his
rags. Rags are very convenient,
sometimes. He was tired now, and
the sun was hot, but there was no
time to lose; so, trying carefully to
shield his precious posies with his
torn hat, he shufled along, bare
headed, the weary way home.
Jack had been rushing about
everywhere; back and forth, here,
there, and yonder, now diving un-
der the bushes, now jumping the
creek; but he, too, was tired now
and followed close behind Toe,
painting very dejectedly, paying no

on his own account; and so; at
last, they reached home.
The old goat slumbered in the
doorway, and the little black pig
scurried away with shrill squeals,
as Jack, reused again, made a dash
for him. But Jack was only in fun
and piggy knew that very We'll. He
was squaling only to carry out his
part of the performance.
Nanny had gone out, too we'll

roamings to wonder where he was.

Asks the State for 100000.

1t is given out that a bill viii be
introduced in the legislature of the
state of Washington asking the state
to appropriate 100000 for the i'm
provement Of the upper Columbia and
the Snake rivers.
1t is claimed in this connection that
while Oregon has spent over 100000
towards the improvement of naviga-
ton on the lower reaches Of the Co
lumbia, Washington has not spent a.
cent toward the improvement of this
great waterway, which will be of much
greater benefit to her, it is argued,
than it can ever be to Oregon, since
a much greater proportion of Wash
ington than of Oregon is closely af-
fected by the improvement in facili-
ties for transportation by these rivers

A circular issued by the war depart
ment to the army gives the text of a
letter received by the secretary of war
from Representative Littlefield
Maine, relative to the anticanteen act
and the secretary S reply. In his letter
MIR. Littlefield states that he is the au-
thor of the inticanteen amendment and
adds:
81 regret to say that an impression
prevails that the officers in the army
are not adverse to the legislation, but
are prejudiced against it. If this is
true it has created an unfriendly at
mosphere that not only will impair
the efficiency of the recreation and
amusement feature, but will of itself
practically defeat the objects of the
legislation.
Secretary Taft, in reply, said:
81 think you are correct in assuming
that a great majority of the officers in
the army regard the anticanteen amend
ment as i'll advised, and as likely to in
crease rather than decrease drunkenness
in the ranks. Indeed, | must admit to
you that, as at present advised, share
their opinion.
The secretary then says he recognizes
that it was the intention of those who
avored the amendment TO substitute for
the canteen post exchange, and that
the question whether the present sys-
tenn is to be maintained or the canteen
restored with the privilege of drinking
beer and light wines only, will be set
tied by congress after careful investi-
cation.

To PERJURY.
Partner of U. S. Senator Mitchell Ad-
mIts He Perjured Himself Before
Federal Grand Jury in Connection
With Land Frauds-Shady Agree
ment Between Mitchell and Tanner.

Portland. Ore.--Judge A. II. Tanner.
United States Senator Mitchell's law
partner, confessed in Judge Bellinger's
court Saturday afternoon to perjury
in his evidence before the federal
grand jury in connection with the in
vestigation of the land frauds in this
state, when testimony was being TAX
en- with a view to connecting United

10 nave the proceeds Of practice of the
law firm in the federal courts and that
Tanner should have the proceeds re-
sulting from practice before any of the
government departments which would
involve Senator Mitchells oath de-
claring he would not take part in any
law proceeding in which the govern
ment is interested.
Judge Tanner made the following
statement to a representative of the
Associated Press:
mo one knows the terror I have
endured since January 81 when |
made statement to the grand Jury
concerning the date of the copartner-
ship agreement between Senator Nit
chell and myself The last straw came.
however, when | learned that the fed
eral grand jury was preparing to in
dict my son, who had written the
agreement between Senator Mitchell
and myself, on the typewriter, for per-
jury, and when | learned that the
agents of the government were in pos
session of facts proving that the doc
ument was not signed March s, 1901,
as had sworn, but that it had been
prepared and signed last December
Judge Tanner do you expect to tes-
tify against Senator MITCHELL" was
asked.
Yes, expect to be called as a wit
ness in the case against Senator Nit
chell and | will tell the whole truth
regarding the business of the firm,
without regard to consequences.
Following close upon the sensational
testimony of Senator Mitchell's law
partner, Judge A. II. Tanner, and of
Harry G. Robertson, Mr.. Mitchell's pri
vate secretary, came the announce
ment that the federal grand jury had
returned an indictment against Con-
gresham John r. Williamson DR.. Van
Gessner, Mr.. Williamson's partner in
the sheep raising business, and Marion
r. Biggs, United States land commits
sioner at Prinevlle Ore. The indict-
ment alleges that on June 30. 1902,
the accused persons entered into a
conspiracy to obtain 100 persons TO
file applications for public lands in
Crook county, Oregon, and swear thai
the land was for their own use, when,
according to the indictment, it was
for the benefit of the firm of Gessner
& Williamson, who desired the lands
for sheep grazing.
