But Katie would not heed their cry
The match blazed up right merrily,
With such a bright and cracking flame
Which Katie just enjoyed to see,
And Jumped about the room for glee.
And Tib and Tab, the pussy cats,
They both held up their paws,
And threatened with their claws
" Your dear mamma has told you not to

But, oh the flame has caught her dress,

On fire the whole dear little girl.
Then both the cats together
Cried mildly, Hither! hither.
Help! help! who'll help poor Kate.
Quick, or you'll he too late!

Now everything is burnt to ash,

They sit with mournful looks,
And their tears make little brooks.

THE INDIAN WAR VETERANS.
An Effort Is Being Made to Increase Their
Pensions

a special from Washington, dated
the 9th, says: Another effort will be
made at the coming session to in
crease the pensions of Indian war
veterans. The law now in force
grants only 81 per month. AT the
last session Il bill was introduced by
Senator Gcarin of Oregon, and final
ly passed the Senate. but when il WAS
referred to the House committee on
pensions, was pigcon-holed, and moth
ing came of it, AS originally intro
duced, the bill provided for an in
crease to $l5 Il month. but the Senate
cut the amount to so, and the relief
carried would have been small had the
bill been enacted.
Senator Bourne of Oregon is con-
Sidcring the adviSablity of introduc
ing Il bill next session giving the In
dian war veterans the benefit of the
service pension act passed last Feb
ruary. At present the service pen
sion law extends only to survivors of
the civil and Mexican wars. Its pro-
visions would greatly benefit most of
the Indian war veterans, though
those who served less than 90 days
would receive no increase. In sub
stance that law grants II pension of
81 Il month to every veteran 81 years
old; those who have reached 20 are to
receive SIS, and veterans 20 years
old or more are to get $50 a month.
The only requirement is that they
have served 90 days If this law
can be extended To the Indian war
veterans it would practically mean
an increase to $50 per month for
every survivor of the Indian wars in
the Northwest, and it is believed th"
benefits, from such legislation would
be greater than Il straight increase
to $l2 or possibly $l5. The only vet
Grams who 1t would not bonetit if this
legislation could be passed, would be
those whose term of service was less
than three months.

Secretary Wilson Outlines the Peril Of Lum-
ber Waste

At San Francisco, on the 9th. Sec
rotary Wilson, of the Department of
a Agriculture, said:
Years of waste. careless methods
and short-sighted policy in order to
gain immediate profits have brought
the United States to the eve of a
lumber famine, was the declaration
made by Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson. who arrived in San Francisco
from the northwest. Although the
federal government is doing all in its
power to ward off the peril. having
set aside l50, ,00O. OO0 acres of forest
reserve lands. the prospective famine,
according to Secretary Wilson, can
be prevented only by the individual
holders of forest lands or by State
laws.
The waste has boon incalculahle, I"
said Secretary Wilson, and the in
creased cost of lumber at present
herald an impending famine. The
loss by forest fires alone amounts to
hundreds of thousands of dollars ev-
cry year
In reply to a question as to the
probability of the federal government
taking some action for prrpctuating
@hc forests by rcpllnting, Secretary
Wilson said;
1t will have to come To that in
time, but the checking of the present
peril rests with the States and
through State laws. The greater
part of the eastern and middle west
country now looks to the Pacific
coast for its lumber and if the coast
States wish tn maintain this profit
able industry in tho future they will
have to pass und enforce suitable
laws governing it,

RIGHT SIDE OF THE STREET.
A Good Moral Can Be Drawn From This
Little Story

There was once wise man Jour-
neying toward u city in which he was
going to live. As he approached the
town he met a man who was leaving
and as they passed, the wise man ac-
costcd him.
Stranger, he said. ;" see YOU
are moving your home from the town
in which am to live. Tell me, pray.
how have you found it,
Ah, replied the stranger, Il
pity you, indeed. 1t is a sorry place.
The people are selfish, unjust and un-
friendly. ! hope / shall not find
their like in the city to which am
journeying."
;" My friend, answered the wise
man, you will find such people
wherever you 90.
y little farther on the wise man
met another citizen leaving the town
and asked him the same question.
Stranger, responded the man,
you are most fortunate to be TAX
ing up your abode in SO favored a
place. Our ncighbors were generous.
helpful and devoted. fear shall
not find their like again"
My friend" replied the wise
man, you will find such wherever
you go.
We are always seeing what we look
for. The world is dark or bright,
sad or gay according as we look at it.
and the brightest sun casts the dark
est shadow. There is Il sunny side
to- every street and we must learn
to live on it.
Some people always live in the
shadow and gloom. One thing goes
wrong and they remember nothing
but misfortune for the entire day.
One person is unkind and they fill
their world with hateful and hated
people. Sometimes we call such peo-
Pile pcssimists. sometimes melancholy
people and sometimes disagrecablc
people, but their characteristic is
that they always live in the shadow
when there is sun pouring down just
across the street and making life
joyous.
But fortunately there are sunny
people too, and plenty of them; no,
not plenty of them either, for there
couldn't be unless all the gloom
les were converted Nothing dis
turbS or upscts them because they
know how to turn everything with
with its pretty side up. They have
Il good word for everybody. Their
friends are legion. They are the
crntrrs of every little group. They
are happiness makers and joy-pro-
duccrS.
Some of us ought to move just
across the way. There is plenty of
sunshine for all ON one sunny side of
thp street

OLYMPIA, WASHIN(TON FRIDAY MORNING. AUG. 16, 1907.

German tariff bill lightened the load
of taxation for the common people.
Item after item can be mentioned to
show that the Democratic Cleveland
tariff was worse than under the Nc
Kinlpy bill. The cause of hard times
during Cleveland 5 second term was
the Bankers Panic" which Wall
street deliberately planned for the
purpose of giving the country an
" object lesson and driving the Gov
ernment to that violation of the
Constitution, of the statute law and of
the practice and precedent of hun
drcd years, known us the single gold
standard.
Under the Cleveland tariff, the d. o.
p. harps so much about, the tariff on
horse and mule shoes was increased
- per cent The duty on wire cloth.
was raised 81 per cent. The duty on
tubes, pipes. tlucs, etc, was raised
143 per cent Doesn't that look like
protection to our poor down-troddcn
infant industries? The tax on rivcts
of iron and steel was increased 20
per cent. Hardwood lumber was
protected by an increase of &c per
cent. The duty on molasscS was
doubled. The Sugar Trust got an
increase of 100 per cent. above No.
Ii ID. =. 1t got an increase on beet
lS5 per cent, cane 236 per cent. ma
pie 500 per cent, Wasn't the Cleve-
land tariff a sweet morscl for the SUI
gar Trust? The duty on cheap knit
shirts and drawers was increased y
per cent, and | might cite many
others, but what $ the use? Suffice
it to say the rich got the benefit of
$16,216, 900 hy reduction on articles
Of luxury, while the poor got the
benefit of only $50 l62, 900 by rcduc-
tions on articles of necessity, Grand
scheme!
Now | submit these few scattered
thoughts to the readers of the STAND
ARD with the hope that they will
read carefully the thoughts presented
and vote for the standard-bcarer of
his party whose platform conforms
to the principle of reason and com
mon sense and to the welfare of the
wh"Ic people. rich and poor alike. If
you do this, you will surely vote for
the most distinguished statesman in
the United States, William J. Bryan.
