The Barefoot Orphan Boy and the Other
Candidates for Governor.

Come all ye anxious waiting throng
And listen to my campaign song,
I'll sing of an illuStriOuS six
Who've got into political mix,
They all, it seems. do wish to reign,
Ger MiSSiSSipi'S vast domain,
They re all in love with the "red neck"
man
And each one claims the largest clan,
They'r good, and great, and wise aud
clean,
And the biggest six that e 'er was seen.
At least you'd judge so from their
speeches,
So full of truths (?) that each one
teaches.
There's Scott from the county of Boil
iyar,
Brave he is like Rowland or Oliver.
He just wants the office for the honor
that's in it (?)
And promises never to run for the
Senate,
But 10 retire to his big plantations
And raise cotton for the world s graft
ticatiOn.
Then Senator Noel, he's a grand old
man,
He's 'er Smelling the woods" from
BeerSheba to Dan,
He touches light on "nigger" educa-
And yearnS for them on the old planta.

If he's elected we'll see the glad frui-
tiOn
Of governor that wants prohibition
Then from Greenville comes ex-
Speaker Thomas,
Who makes to all the clean-cut prom
Use.
That if he's elected the Augean
stables
viii be thoroughly cleansed if he's
able
To find good men who'll do their duty,
And not be turned aside for booty.
And there's another, he's little un-
ruly
And stubborn as a mule is our friend
Judge Truly.
If he thinks he's right he'll fight to a
finish,
And from first to last no effort will
diminish.
He's noble old Roman, a grand old
judge
And then he's free from all malice and
grudge,
Then there is another, the know
Nothing" candidate,
But he claims to know how to manage
it,
He halls from our nearby town, WI
mona,
And honors the sex that wears the
kimona.
He goes along like steam-car "whiz-
zing"
And fiaunts to the breeze the name T..
y. SisSon.
He says to all, "don't take an
alarm,
For I'm standing square on an old
platform.
Now I've come to the last and 1t gives
me great JOY.
To speak of the erstwhile barefoot,
orphan boy,
Who pulled the lines over Dinah and
Beck
And at that time did any, little reck
That today he'd ne reaching for the

And the name of Brewer would be or

when one answered that he wanted tC
buy a nat, and led the way to the real
or the store near the cash drawer,
where he said he had seen a hat that
struck his fancy. On reaching that
point he made grab at the cash
drawer, while his comrade watched
! the 'front.'. Mrs. HotchkiSS endeavor-
ed to save some of the money, when
the brute took her by the throat and
threw her against the shelving, which
is the last thing she remembered un-
til her reScuerS came. Her throat
bears the bruises made by the negro's s
fingers and her head and arm show
other evidences OF the horrible expe-
rience to which she was subjected.
The robbers only secured SIS or S2O
as reward for their daring. A vigO-
rouS search was at once instituted for
the perpetrators. A special train
was run to Greenwood where blood
hounds were secured, but up to this
writing no tangible evidence has been
secured to locate the guilty parties.
Mrs. HOtchkisS feels sure that she
could identity the negro that she had
the struggle with.
Every effort will be made to appre-
bend the demons, and il they are To-
Gated they will doubtless be expedited
oy that route that requires neither

'The Race Question and Southern
Symposium" has made it's initial ap-
pearance from Atlanta, Georgia.
This unique monthly magazine is de-
voted exclusively to the negro problem
from the viewpoint of white Southern
opinion. 1t contains a remarkable
editorial article on What the
Problem Really Is," discussing the
negro's "crime of crimes. The psy-
chology of the nameless crime is anal
yzed, the conclusion being that its mo-
tive is racial, springing from the al
most instructive yearning of the low
er race for amalgamation with the
higher. and that the atavism OF jun
ole savagery also figures in it. False
teachings encouraging miscegenation
have made the negro an IShmaelite

Piano Awarded to Miss Mason.

Our Piano Contest was wound up
with a lively finish on last Monday
night. Promptly at O'Clock the
committee closed the ballot box and
began the count. The race came down
to finish between the three leading
contestants, Misses Mason and Doak
and Mrs. J. w. Talbert.
While Miss Mason was an easy
winner, the other two leading con-
teStanuS evidently did not poll all the
votes they had in reserve. They
suffered Miss Mason to get so far in
the lead that it would have been a
herculean task to have overtaken her.

Peculiar Land Case in KliclIitat.

In February, 1908. H. l.. Moody
and wife, of Spokane, bought of stone
brothers of I<lickitat county, $50
acres of land on contract, agreeing to
pay $6.67 per acre. A clause was in
jected into the contract that Moody
might sell any part of the land on
contract and place the contract with
Stone Bros. as part payment on the
land. Moody sold 2560 acres of the
land by contract sale for S22, soc
shortly after buying of Stone Bros.
and then rendered them the balance.
$1,000 and demanded deed for the
balance of the land, 1880 acres, which
is the best land on the place. Suit
followed the demand and the case
has just been decided by the supreme
court OF Washington, sustaining Stone
Bros. in refusing the deed, 1t appear
ing that the pretended buy on con-
tract made by Moody was q sham, by
which Moody attempted to get the
land for $500 instead of s25,60O,
which he agreed to pay.-Goldendale

THREE WAYS TO SUBDUE.
A story of Buddhn and the Trainer
of Elephants,

From Hindoo tales that have come
through the-Chinese, who give us most
of our Indian records-the rishis were
dreamers and not recorders-we have
this story Of Buddha:
The lord demanded one day Of an
elephant trainer what were the means
he employed to subdue his beasts.
Three" said the mahout. "One ap-
plies to the mouth hook of iron,
which he attaches to breast clasp, and
the elephant cannot lift his neck Then
one gives less and less food till thin
and weak and finally beats"
"And what does one accomplish by
these meansw asked he-of. the yellow
light.
''The crochet de fer serves to over
come the resistance Of the head; the
deprivation Of food and drink, the vio-
lence Of the body; the stick subdues the
spirit. After this, all is easy"
The nimbused- -bronze-one said:
II also have three ways to subdue.
First, by perfect sincerity l control
what goes forth from the mouth; by
affection and charity l harmonize the
irregularities of the body; by inward
vibration Of thought l calm the spirit.

A VENERABLE FICTION.
rhe Ceremony of Carrying the Purse
In the House of Lords.

In the House of Lords.
When the lord chancellor enters the
house Of lords to preside over its de-
Hberations he is accompanied by his
purse bearer" This functionary, how
ever, does not carry the purse of the
lord chancellor, which would be
welghty responsibility, as his lordship
draws salary Of 10000 year. The
purse the purse bearer" solemnly car
ries as, arrayed in court dress, he pre-
cedes the lord chancellor to and from
the house of lords is a gorgeous satchel
other heraldic devices in white and
gold and lined with the richest silk
1t is supposed to contain the great seal.
As a matter of fact, that emblem Of a
mighty sovereignty Is never in the
satchel. If 1t were, the responsibility
of the purse bearer" would be great
much greater indeed than If he had to
bear purse that carried salary of
10000 year.
The ceremony Of carrying the purse
in the house of lords is but one of the
many venerable fictions which play u
picturesque part in the parliamentary
procedure. The purse is placed on the
woolsack, 1t indicates that the lord
chancellor is in possession Of the great
seal and therefore entitled to perform
his duties as speaker Of the house OF
lords.-London Globe.

FAMILY HISTORY.
Universal Interest In Knowing What
Our Forefathers Did.

why don't you trace your family
history?' The common reply to this
question is summed up in the words,
If knew how to 60 about it l should
enjoy doing so." For few are the indi-
viduals who do not at times feel a
longing to open the book of the past
and read the records of their ancestors.
Edward Everett felt that longing when
he wrote, There is no man of any
culture who does not take some inter-
est in what was done by his forefa-
TIERS" The desire to trace the descent
Of ones family and to transmit the
record to ones successors is as old as
life-a strand in the binding cord OF
filial love.
So prevalent has the desire been
among all nations to which either his
tory or tradition extends that it has
been regarded by many writer's as an
instinct In human nature. Observing
its universality, the historian Hume
began his history of England with
these lines: 'The curiosity entertained
by all nations of inquiry into the ex-
plolts and adventures of their ances-
tors commonly eXcites regret that
the history Of the ages should be in
volved in obscurity, uncertainty and
tradition. England Magazine.

Sheep shearing is in full blast all
over the Yakima valley, says the Yak
ina Daily Republic The sheepmen
are consequently busy. They are
busy during the day experimenting
the shearing of their flocks, and in
the evening they are kept busy by
the ever present wool buyer.
The wool market is up in the air.
to use an expression of one of the
wool buyers, and | seriously doubt
whether the woolgrowers of the Yak
ina valley are going to get 25 cents
for their crop this year, as they seem
to think"
There are a number of woolbuyers
in this city this week, and others are
scattered throughout the valley maxi
ing an effort to get contracts with the
growers, but in every instance refus-
ing to give the prices asked for by
the growers.
No deals are being closed. The
buyers are offering usually from 16
to IS cents. The growers are de-
manding usually from % to 25 cents.
In talking to ]. Sheuerman, a big
wool buyer from Pendleton, Ore, this
gentleman volunteered the informa-
ton that the wool market was 2
cents lower than it was last summer,
and he could not see any indications
of the market strengthening.
What is the price of wool in the
valley" asked the reporter"
1T is hard matter to stipulate n
certain figure as being the price on
wool or any other commodity" was
the reply, but when you state that
wool is worth between IA and 20
cents you won't be far off. 1t de-
pends, Of course, upon the quality.
Latter figure, however, is the top
market price at the present time
continued Mr.. Sheuerman.
on the other hand the sheepmen
are quite optimistic concerning the
wool market, and they are not going
to sell at the prices that are now be-
ing offered by the eager-to-buy wool
men.
James Wright, probably one of the
biggest sheepmen in the country,
thinks that wool will bring 81 cents.
Coffin Bros. are of this opinion. Err
cent wool. Dan Goodman feels the
same way, and so do Sam Cameron,
Forrest Wenner and many others.
While the wool buyers and wool
growers are sparring for an opening,
and some one is trying hard to close
a deal in order TO establish a market
price in the valley, the sheep shearers
are slashing away, piling up thous-
ands of pounds of this much-sought-
after product for its owners to specu-
late with.
James Wright received 10 carloads
of sheep from Montana last week,
sheared them at his plant south of
the city and shipped them on to Brit
ish Columbia. on next Monday he
will receive II cars from the same
place in Montana and will treat them
likewise. Sheep are much cheaper in
Montana than in Washington and
Oregon.
Prosser and other points in the
lower valley are busy shearing. 1t is
