FAITHFUL DOG
Tried to Bring Help to Master Caught
 In a Snowstorm.

 Hayfork (Cal) Cor sacremento Bee
 William vienas has probably perished in the snow between Hyampom and this place. That conclusion was reached yes terday when J. w Lattimer arrived here coming by way of Peanut, and was dis appointed is not finding Vienas in town.
 Yienas and Lattimer were working in the copper miner near Hyampom. It was on November 20 that Vienas left the mines, expecting to go through to Hay fork. a distance of twenty-five miles, in one day. He did not even taken along a bite of food, and his faithful dog ac- companled him. Lattimer remained alone in camp.
 Five days later the dog came back to camp in a half starved condition, making great demonstrations before Lattimer, who could neither understand its strange actions nor induce 1t to partake of food. The dog remained in camp about an hour, and struck out over the mountains toward Hayfork, arriving here the same day. The faithful animal again tried to make his troubles known, but no one could understand the message the dumb Cltdlule ildu lO COilNey. liS uOB and refused to be comforted, although it did finally parttake of food.
 When Lattimer arrived here yesterday and did not find Vienas the meaning of the dogs strange actions was understood Lattimer Is sure that Vienas perlshed in the storm that sprang up at midday on November 29, and that the dog kept faith full vigil over his masters body for five days, when hunger or instinct, or both. impelled 1t to return, first to Hyampom and then to Hayfork, for succor for Vienas.
 Searching parties left this morning They will hunt through Indian Valley and over the mountain trail, hoping to find some trace of the missing man, dead of alive. Four feet of snow fell on the summit that Vienas is supposed to have crossed

All unavoided Is the doom of destiny
 --kIng Richard III.
Great Dead of the Year.

The death list of 1905 is not remark able in great names lost to the world. The slain in Manchuria and in the Russian civil strife number thousands, but a widely known name does not ap- pear among them.
 Among those of wide fame who died during the year should be mentioned John Hay, whose poetry will be re- called longer than his diplomatic deeds; Louis Michel, the socialist agi- tator, who will have a place in French history; the Grand Duke Sergeus or Russia, who was blown to pieces by bomb; Maxomo Gomez, the Cuban patriot, and Jay Cooke, financier or the civil war period.
 From the world of literature and science dropped out Lew Wallace, who wrote Ben Hur"; Mary Mapes Dodge, who edited "St. Nicholas" and wrote for the children; Jules Verne, the Branch novelist; Jacques Slisee he- clus, the Belgian geographer, and Henry Harland, the American nov elist.
 From the stage was taken Joseph Jefferson and Sir Henry Irving. From art fell out Adolphe William Bougner- eau whose technique exceeded ms soul; Robert Swain Clifford, the land scape painter, and Adolph Wilhelm Menzel, great German painter MUSIC mourns the death of Theodore Thomas; Tamagno, the Italian tenor, and Mme Galle-Marie, a French prima donna.
 The list is not a long one, but it in cludes some names that history Will long recall No history of the stage, for example, will overlook either Thomas Jefferson or Sir Henry Irving, and the children of today will recall fifty years hence the works of Mary Mapes Dodge.

ROOSEVELT DIsARMs A sRAWLER
How the President Knocked Out a
 Bully in Short Order.

From "Theodore Roosevelt; An Outdoor
 Man.. by Henry Beach Needham. in the
 January McClures.
 Nevertheless he was an invader, and he came not only as a tenderfoot, but as "four-eyed tenderfoot." Manly courage ous. and genuinely human. with big, kind heart and pleasing cordiality, he quickly won his way without much diff culty. The cowboys soon came to love him with an affection which has lasted through the years--lasted until he issued rough riders: growing deeper through Las Guasimas and Jan Juan and swell ing to a wild chorus of devotion at the reunion in Texas last spring.
 On iust one occasion when living in the west was Roosevelt in danger of serious molestation. He was threatened when that physical vigor for which he had striven had come in full measure. A big brawler. mistaking him for a tenderfoo.. cursed him roundly, and, pointing two revolvers at him, ordered him to buy the drinks. Roosevelt perfectly composed, made as if to comply with the request. But as he got within reach of his tor menter. with a rush born of his clever ness in boxing. he delivered a blow on the mans jaw that stretched him full length on the floor. Meantime. the pistols had gone off, the bullets penetrating the ceil- ing and doing no harm to anybody. When the brawler opened his eyes, he was ready to surrender his guns, and to cry for quarter. Wherefore. be it said, that, true to his laterday preachment, Roose- welt was never spelling for a fight, but would not suffer an insult. A man of his type Is not often insulted

 New Pariy Lines Possible.

Tn a House of 3S6 members the re- nublicans have a majority of 116, or almost two-thirds of the entire House. Not often has the minority in the House been so weak in numbers. In 1890 the democrats had, however, majority of 14S, and the republicans had a lead in 1894 of 142.
 The present majority of 116 is chief ly remarkable because it is the culmi- nation of decade of republican ascen- dancy in the House. It is too large Smaiority to be handled readily, and it Promises to breed new divisions. There it feeling on all hands that great pplitical changes are impending.
 History is apt to repeat itself 4 long term of democratic ascendency before the civil war led to great changes, and the unrest in the repub- lican states at present points to changes on new lines.
 President Roosevelt may be able to stem the tide, but he is more intent upon passing pet measures than he IS to the preservation of party lines or supremacy. The present Congress will make or mar the republican party in 1908, for every branch of the gov ernment is in republican hands. and there Is nothing in the way of control on their part except, of course, dis sensions and upheavals from within.
 The possibility of a democratic House in 1906 and of a democratic President in 1908 may operate to keep republicans within party traces, but despite all influences there is feeling that great changes are in the hearts of the people, and that the elections of next fall will bring some of them to the surface.

Tobacco Trade.

"Outside the favored circle of railroad officers employees and dependent mem bers of their families. who are not bar red by law from having passes, just two persons will ride free on the Penn sy1vania railroad after this year. said a railroad man yesterday. One is Miss Anne Thomson, who resides at Mercer and is the daughter of Edgar Thomson, formerly president of the Pennsylvania Railroad company. The other is Mrs, George B. Roberts, who resides at Bala, and is the widow of George B. Roberts, another former president of the company. Holding little silver disks, the same kind that the company gives to it's directors instead of plebeian card passes, these two women are privileged, during the bal ance of their natural lives, to travel free on any and all trains operated anywhere on the entire Pennsylvania railroad sys- tenn of nearly 11OO0 miles of lines.
 Having conferred these two silver passes upon the two women some three years ago, out of respect for the mem ory of two former presidents of the Penn sylvania railroad, the board of directors have no purpose to call them in now.
 ''The legal department of the Pennsyl- vania railroad is prepared to defend this action on the ground that these life passes were given when the company operated under it's old charter and before it had ac- cepted the state constitution of ls74.'

THE LEGEND OF EVIL.
By Rudyard Kipling.

By Rudyard kipling. This is the sorrowful story
 Told when the twilight fails, And the monkeys walk together
 Holding each others tails. Our fathers lived in the forest;
 Foolish people were they; They went down to the cornland To teach the farmers to play. "Our fathers frisked in the millet. Our fathers skipped in the wheat, Our fathers hung in the branches. Our fathers danced in the street. '"rhen came the terrible farmers. Nothing of play they knew. Only they caught our fathers
 And set them to labor, too! "Set them to work in the cornland With blows and slckles and fails, Put them in the mud walled prisons And cut off their beautiful tails! Now. we can watch our fathers. Sullen and bowed and old, Stopping over the millet,
 Sharing the silly mold. Driving a foolish furrow.
 Mending a muddy yoke, Sleeping in mudwalled prisons,
 Sleeping their food in smoke. "We may not speak to our fathers. For if the farmers knew They would come up to the forest And set us to labor, too." This is the horrible story
 Told as the twilight fails And the monkeys walk together

have hive of their own, the comb and honey of which are being formed from the production of mills and factories.
 A rosy light rends the black veil which has fallen over the face of night. What has caused the phenomenon? Is it a phantom reflection of the burning ware houses, and residences, and public build ings of Richmond, the champion of the chivalrous south. the Horatius who raised a gray shield against the blue ranks of the invaders? No. An eruption of blast furnaces accounts for the glare in the sky What is causing that rumbling and clamoring, that heavy smoke in the heavens, which otherwise are as bright as the aerial banners which float above the rose-embowered drdves of the Floren- tine paradise San Nfiniato? The sound sends memory back ito the days when stonewall Jackson was fercely assailing Hooker in the Wilderness. And, indeed, intrepid men are fighting a battle-+a stern. carefully planned battle-dn which the cannonading of mills is being directed by captains of industry.
 Yes the south Is sunny at all times. The spirit of the prophet. Grady, smiles upon the fair land which he pictured be- fore his mourning countrymen had plant ed daisies at his head and feet. The pride of achievement has taken the place of the pride of a chivalrous but poverty stricken past. God bless the southland- thrice blessed is it in the fact that 1t is free of trust magnates, in the fact that

 Atlanta is going to hold a southern ex- position in 1910. At the exposition the world will learn that manufacturing as we'll as planting is meeting success in many of the cities where, during the re- construction period, the carpetbagger like Poe's Red Death. was blasting life and hope.
 Keep the sunshine in your hearts, o ye southerners of splendid aspirations. Remember that the dead line between the north and the south Is obliterafed forever, Think that your success is our success. Recall that your achievements thrill us because we are proud that a brother has won success. Keep in mind the thought that the descendants of the men who marched from the north to Gettysburg have at last concluded that the wealth and happiness of Gods country cannot be monopolized by any section; and then, between good will and the soul which is bathed in sunshine, the united land should march on to the ful- fillment of its splendid destiny.

no true lover of the heayen-sent bev- craze employs them.
 Nor should tea be boiled, for boiling releases properties that hurt the nerves. Tea helps the nerve when 1t Is prepared for use by simply pouring hot water on it. A writer in the New York Herald says water of about 150 degrees should be poured on tea leaves in an earthen pot. and it should stand two and half minutes by the watch. It is then ready to be poured into heated cups. leaving no liquid standing on the leaves In the pot Good tea has smooth, oily taste. and no water should stand on tea longer than three minutes, and no water should be employed too hot to put ones finger in.

TRAIN CARRIED NO PASSENGERS.
Harrisburg Cor. Philadelphia Press.

Harrisburg Cor. Philadelphia Press.
 It was made public here today that the magnificent limited train on the Pennsyl- vania railroad made the run from Jersey City to Pittsburg Christmas day without a passenger on board.
 It left Jersey City at Il a. m. without passenger, stopped at Philadelphia, Har- risburg and Altoona and took on no pas sengers, and went into Pittsburg at 9;S5 passengerless. It Is the first time In the history of the road that such thing has happened
 The train carried a conductor two brakemen. a baggageman. engineer and fireman, a Pullman conductor three DOT ters, a matron and the dining car force of chefs and walters. The passing of an express train through Pennsylvania on the Pennsylvania railroad without a fare Is unprecedented in the history of the com- pany.

Our custom of transforming an infusion of tea into a kind of sweet soup by the additions of sugar and milk or cream, is prac- tice that the Chinese, the Japanese, the Hindu and the Sinhalese abomi- nate, and will not in any case accept. They say the comfort and delight of tea-drinking is in that way to great extent lost. Intrusive substances are barred from tea in the far east. MIX and sugar are interlopers, and

PRIVATE JOHN ALLEN.
Huntsville Mercury.

Iton lilc I1uiilSNlIe AHeTCury.
 There Is talk in Mississippi of pos- sible candidacy of Hon. John Allen of Tupelo, for governor of Mississippi While the Register is not expected to have an opinion as to the suitability of any man for chief executive of Mississippi, 1t has, nevertheless, this much opinion, that it would like to see MT. Allen back in pub lic life. In these days of specialization, no man should hide his light under a bushel and MT. Allen has very brilliant light, that has been eclipsed ever since he retired from Congress. The country has need of men who have broad and strong grasp of public affairs and who -at the same time, possess the happy faculty of commanding the attention of men. Whether as governor, or as holder of any other important public office, Mr. Allen would be sure to make himself use- ful.-Mobile Register,
 Yes, we second the motion Call from the quiet of private life the famous wit and humorist of Mississippi and bring him out into the sunlight of public life. His rare good Judgment and great common sense, after long service in the na- tional Congress, should enable him to make his great state a great governor. There is gloom enough at best in life and we need all the sunshine of good fellowship we can get and more too Many men in public life wear the solemn and serious mien of the owl that they may appear to possess wisdom but this veil is generally seen through and dis sipated by contact with the genial rays of the true and the real, yes it would be refreshing to the whole country for Private John Allen to be again placed in public life by his people of Mississippi.

.'From evidence presented m the news papers," said an old resident last night at the Morris. "it appears that Birming- ham is now confronted with the solu- ton of the world-old and perplexing prob- lem namely, what shall be done with persons of a peculiar stratum of so- ciety?
 'Regarding the settlement of this diffi- cult and delicate question there are u) persons who are satisfied with things as they are @ persons who could be satis- fled only with things as they should be in a social Utopia: and (3) persons who, knowing that human society is at best an imperfect organism, would like to cefii- promise between the is and the right to be in the hope and in the belief that promise between the is and ought to working ideal in the treatment If not in the cure of this peculiar social mal- ady.
 .'The first of these three classes is made up of the ignorant, the indifferent and the vicious elements of the city's population.
 "The second class is composed of doc trinaires purists. idealists and, incident ally, not a few Pharisees.
 .'The third class consists of men and women who understand and sympathize with the frailties of human nature and who are inclined to consider this subject with their brains and not with their emo- tions.
