Must Put Down Awful Sin.

''That sin of all the most henious and ineXcusable. l shall touch but lightly here, but we must remove 1t from the race as We would any cankerous growth on the body. We must do 1t for two good reasons:
 First. We owe 1t to the white race to put down this sin-to stamp 1t out as far as we can.
 Second. We owe it to ourselves from a selfish standpoint for if we do not put down the criminal assalant he will become satiated by prey on innocent white females. and like the wild beast will turn upon himself; and our own females will become their victims to a greater extent than he has preyed upon the whites These will be evil and sorrow full days.

HAD BRONCHITIS FOR TWENTY YEARS
AND THOUGHT he WAS iNcURABLE

WITH ONE END OF THE TORCH BURNING, HE
WOULD SMASH AT THE CLEANING EYES.
grew bolder, and, despite the fact that
the fire was burning as brightly as the
fires Of the previous nights had done,
the gray timber terrors crept closer and
closer. Ever and anon one, overbold,
would jump out of the shadow circle
cast by the flames of the fire and snap
viciously at the feet of the silent
watcher.
All night long Mahoney fought those
wolves. He would take long piece of
pine timber, and, with one end burning,
he would strike and smash at the glow
nag eyes and cleaning teeth, and in
that way he not only kept himself
awake, but he also drove back his foes
And he saved the body Of Mayor
Humes to his friends and his own life
from the hungry teeth of the wolves.
When morning finally came Mahoney,
half crazed through fear and loss of
sleep, once more took the trail, and at
noon that day he came to road house.
where he was received, fed and put tC

MAHONEY SAT THERE ALONE, THE CASKET
FOR HIS SEAT.
the fact that 1t was time to pitch camp
there came upon the bosom of the
night wind long, low wall. 1t echoed
and re-echoed through the forest trees,
and it was closely followed by another
and still another
1t was the cry of the wolf
Mahoney brought his dog team to a
stop and listened. In short time the
wall was repeated. This time it was
answered by another, coming from a
point down the trail, but Enthusiastically
nearer. And this man., standing upon
lonely Alaskan trail hundreds of
miles from the nearest habitation and
with burden on his hands that he had
sworn to bring safely to Seattle, knew
what it all meant, and the heart in him
became frozen and his blood ran cold
Up to that time he had left the body
of Mayor Humes upon the trail at
night while he and his dogs sought
refuge from the biting winds Of the
north in the forests that line the way
some few hundred yards back from the
trail. But this night he knew better.
There was only one thing for him to
do, of course. and the fact that he
brought the body through safely shows
that he did 1t. He spoke to the leaders
Of his dog team, and they, hearing and
understanding the "call of the wind"
wheeled quickly and made off for the
woods in direct right angle to the
trail
Once under the shelter Of the pines
and frs Mahoney built a big fire and
proceeded to get himself and his dogs
hasty supper. 1t was well that he
acted quickly, for hardly had the even
ing meal been finished when the wolves
arrived.
Mahoney placed the casket contain
ing the remains of Mayor Humes as
closed to the fire as he dared and then
sat down. The dogs, from sheer weari-
ness and fright, crept between the box
and the cracking wood fire and lay
there whining through the long watch
es of the night.
All night long that lonely camp, pitch
ed upon one of the most desolate and
solitary trails in all the frozen recesses
of Alaska, was surrounded by a row of
cleaning eyes. Mahoney sat there
alone, the casket for his seat, and
stared back into the eyes that cleaned
SO hungrily at him.
Sleep? 1t was out of the question.
Rest? Every nerve in the mans body
was strained to tension that bespoke
a breaking.
But nature often commands despite
the frail attempts of man to fight
against her. and from time to time the
heavy lids on that silent Watchers eyes
would droop and his tense muscles
would relax, and he would doze to a
slumber.
And then 1t was that the fire, the one
safeguard, the one real Waterman.
would die down. And as the cracking
flames became Pickering shadows Of
their former selves and as they in turn
were reduced to glowing embers that
long line Of cleaning eyes crept closer
and closer, while the gaunt jaws of the
timber wolf, with it's rows of cleaning
teeth, were licked In anticipation by a
hungry tongue.
And when Mahoney awoke with q

the multiplication OF libraries and the habit of
access to books might have the effect of slacken-
ing the native energies of mind dulling the edge
Of the will, and of numbing mother wit He did

Pray get into your heads that library is

whelming drama OF humanity there. To be
sensible or this was what somebody another
had called the feel of a library He entirely
agreed with a friend of his who told him that
when at night he turned down the lamp OF his
library and turned the key and left all the
procession Of saints and sages, warriors and
martyrs, the champions Of freedom and justice,
those who had been trampled down and had
fallen, and those who had succeeded, those who
had been the torchbearers of truth-as he left
them I'm sublime solitude and darkness it was
then that he felt more than in the working day
the true pathos of mankind and the real mys-
terry OF time. This left him one more remark:
II democracy had any faults-of ii had
faults; ii was only aristocracies and oligar-
chies that had faults-it was that it did not
always feel or show reverence. He thought that
true of all democracies that he had been
brought into contact with. 1t tremendous
defect. The notion that because one was
good another, therefore man had just
as much right another TO opinion upon
every subject and that all opinions of
equal value was erroneous His advice was not
to allow the spirit of reverence to fall so low
TO lead them. at all events to any such fatal
and unworthy delusion-there was a great diff
ference between the value of mems opinions.
