CLEVER SCHEME NIPpED.

A scheme which was being worked
nader the new caucus law was nipped
iii the bud in Burlington. IL was the
glever move al candidate for office,
md d prominent one at that, To go
around with the party utilization slips
among those Republicans who had ne
elected to sign and to get the signatures
81 those who would vote for bis candi-
slacy for nomination. In this manner
the aforesaid candidate reaped about
two hundred votes, is he thought Then
he turned in the slips himself, perhaps
10 save the trouble of going 10 the
assessors' office. But there is whore the
machinery slipped cog. The city at
forney of Burlington. when appealed to
for an opinion on the matter. decided
that the voters must present the party
utilization slips themselves and not by
proxy. Consequently the two hundred
votes for the overzealous Republican
candidate were thrown out and he had
al bis labor for nothing. What makes
the scheme more to be criticised was
the fact that the party slips passed out
for signature were not those which the
secretary OF state furnished by law. but
some which had been printed by private
parties. a. near like the official slips AS
possible. The very intention Of the
trainers OF the law, to prevent the pack
ing nf cauclises, was being thwartcd
and By Republican who claims to-
be good citizen. too. This Is another
leaky spot in this leaky boat which
the legislature OF 1904 threw MS into.

Fine Indian Photographs.

We recently published an illustrar
ton of Indian Twins which should
have been credited to Major Lee Moore
house Of Pendelton, Oregon, who has
perhaps one of the best collection of
Indian pictures of the north west.
Major Moorehouse's famous pictures of
the Cayuse Twins has had more re-
cognition, perhaps, than any other
Indian photograph ever taken and he
has now issued an album containing
other striking pictures. "The Last
Outpost of a Dying Race" is a pictur-
esque photograph Of lone Indian tepee
or wigwam with a background Of dark
landscape, suggestive in the extreme
of the title Of the picture. Many of
the Moorehouse pictures attracted
much attention at the Lewis and
Clarke Exposition.

Longest Climb In the World.

Imagine making the ascent or Mount
Washington by means of a staircase
But feat akin to this many travellers
in China have accomplished in going
to the top Of the holy mountain, some
six thousand feet above Taingan-fu.
The road leading to it is the best in all
the kingdom. About mile north of
the city walls stands large gate amid
the ruins of once flourishing suburb.
Leading from this gate the road is
lined with temples, converts and
shrines, where pilgrims stop to pray If
they are fortunate enough to rid them
selves of the hordes of beggarS.
Where the real ascent begins there
is a stone portal which is inscribed
with the fact that here the great Con-
fucius halted $500 years ago, not hav-
ing the strength to ascend the six
thousand stone steps leading to the
top. These Taischan stairs are by far
the highest in the world, for, taking
the number of steps in one story of an
ordinary house to be twenty, the num-
Der of Taischan steps equals three
hundred stories. The coolies will carry
pilgrim up the stairs and back, dis.
lance of twice sixteen miles, for thirty
cenIS-UIIeeu CeHJS lOT edCu COOllc'
When the ascent is made one finds
himself upon a large plateau, which is
covered with numerous temples and
stone monuments. The main temple is
that of the holy mother, consisting Of
several buildings surrounded by a
stone wall. The several courts are
adorned with magnificent statues and
monuments of bronze, with a huge
statue of the holy mother on the altar
These doors are opened once only
each year, when an imperial commits
sion comes to collect the money offer
ings of the pilgrims. By means Of a
substantial "tip" the guard may be in
duced to push the bar Of the main
gate aside. so that one may have
glimpse within. The floor of this
large temple is usually filled with a
heap of coins of every description,
size, and value, probably represent
ing $4,000 in American currency.
The money is divided among the con.
vents and beggars of the holy noun
tain, but the largest share goes in
to the pockets of that enterprisine
lady, the Dowager Empress.

Entrapping the Victim.

Entrapping the Victim.
1t is now the Decider's moment to
step in. Pretending to have noticed
the chiffon velvet. for the first time,
she thrusts out a perfectly, gloyed
hand, and eagerly catches hold of an
end of the material. She hangs it up
against her fingure, and looks at it
admiringly. The doubtful lady looks
annoyed, gives the chiffon a tug, but
the Decider holds on.

Having settled this little business of
the chiffon velvet she sails of to the
fur department.
Here she fixes on a sallow-faced
young wife, who has brought her hus

"Do you like 1t, dear?" the lanky
girl-wife asks, holding up white boa

Then another is brought out but he

"Oh! take it Off"
"Well, dear. what am I to do? You

the other one is too ashy." The tone
is despairing.
"Try this one on again madam"
says the saleswoman, and the wife
turns to take it but it is gone. She
finds herself confronted with the ele

Chapter III


To tho surprise of the nation. Con.
gress held back during the day, a mar
row fringe of conservative members
standing between the country and
war. The news service, which had
picked up again and was voluminous
and detailed once more, still carried
the prediction that war was inevitable
and could be only delayed.
Meanwhile the stolid helplessness t
the War Department, which had blan-
keted even the energetic efforts of the
department chiefs to do the best they
could at the eleventh hour, had give,
away to feverish activity extending
even to departments unaware of tn
purpose.
Atsins had taken fast express ship
back to Susquehanna, returning at top
speed with the concentrator, the plans
of which he had shown Shod and Mon.
trus, and which, many months before,
he had constructed.
Shod had his orders regarding
power, orders which carried a sig
nificance to him but to none other at
the power station.
At No. 10 Sending Station, Atsins,
with an army of electricians and
racking speed during the day. Mon
trus, possessed by devil of I'M
patience, foreboding, and fear, could
not contain himself either in the Office
or at the station.
The work progressed; the death
dealing concentration went into place;

photography and transmission. Some
where above the hostile fleet, Montrus
knew, the scout hung precariously in
position to send not only informa-
ton but a continuous reflection of the
movements Of the airships. He might
be discovered, but that was the hazard
of his occupation. If he were well
concealed by distance, and out of the
path of the enemies scouts, he would
win out. If otherwise, he at least had
done his duty to the best of his ability.
With one finger on button which
would give the signal to Atsins, the
general waited word from the Capitol.
Sixty seconds after the vote had been
taken and war declared, the world
would know it. The hostile fleet would
know it almost as soon as Montrus. II
was in the arrogance of superior force
tha' the enemy had waited the formal
beginning of hostilities.
Ripples OF light were chasing each
other across the reflector; shadowy
forms appeared and disappeared in
vapors and fc~s. Then came an outline
growing distinct, and presently
he had the picture again.
Outside the hood was the black
drizzling night: inside, the face of the
reflector was glowing with picture
of clouds lighted by the early rays Oh
the sun and OF feet Of airships Ian
guidly floating at rest.
Montrus ccu'd see the flags floating
from the ships, could see their torpedo
tubes and the graceful movement o
one here and there as IL changed posi-
tion slightly.

Before they could step out of the
door, messenger came in.
Curtis reports" he said. "The fleet
has left Kiel. He will send location
Tell Curtis" said Montrus speaking
low-voiced, that the outcome of this
war depends on him. We want the 10
cation. We must have it. If he can
send photographs, send them; but
first the location"
With Atsins, he walked out into the
night. The sky was black. The air
was heavy and wet. A gentle drizzle
was starting.
The two men took a few deep
breaths, and then turned to each other.
Neither spoke, but each held out his
hand. One close grasp. and they
parted, Atsins for the sending station,
Montrus for the tower.
When the latter stepped off the ele-
vator al the top, he found two assist
nts busy with the reflector. Far away
the drizzle were the lights of Wash
ington and the Capitol. The general
glanced at the bulletin, but it told him
nothing new. The roll-call was being
'nlaye' by members who insisted on
explaining their votes, notwithstand-
! that they and the others had reach

At another televue he got Atsins at

Increased to the limits of possibility
Night had come and was advancing.
Still Congress held to its tense debate.
Ten o'clock came; and Atsins sought

back and forth in his Office. The young

general, turning to the aide In the
