Official proceedings o. the Board Of
County Commissioners uf Buffalo

Los Angeles herald., 1907-12-01

for they had seen the nuggets But Desmond,
assured them that his search for gold was over;
that all he desired to get home and to see
Jeanne restored to her right mind. He told the
men in what direction he had searched and where
he had found jeanne 1t was agreed that one of
the party should travel back with Desmond and
his sweetheart and early next morning they set
out.
The men had improvised some sort of sling
by means of which Jeanne might be carried part
OF the time. 1t was therefore, some days before
they struck civilization, but finally, one never to
be forgotten day, Desmond and Jeanne entered
their native village.
Jeanne recovered her mind, but it was apparent
from the first that she had clear perception
of her wanderings, and except as to restricting
the possible area of the location of the treasure
her information of no value
The young people were married shortly after
Jeannes recovery. Her gold nuggets amounted
to some few thousands of dollars, enough she
declares to set her husband up in business and to
live comfortably
"And we care for nothing more" she always
adds, smilingly, 'let the awful desert keeps it's
secret 1t is great hot, relentless monster"

The Cowardly Shark.

Every sailor in the South Seas knows that the
shark is coward. man who has served many
years in the navy tells of experience with
sharks at Tahiti. crew of seamen gunners had
obtained permission to take beach SWIM and
had not given thought to sharks although they
had seen numbers of them about the harbor
In addition to being young, writes the sailor,
/ was more self-confdent than I've ever been
since, because there wasn't a man or boy on
board that could teach me anything about swim
ming. That's how it came about that as soon as
we jumped into the water on the Papete beach l
proceeded to outswim all the rest
l didn't turn to look back until I was about
three hundred yards from the beach. The only
reason why turned around then was because l
heard lot of noise from the beach,
When l turned l about hundred naked
natives and all of the fellows from our ship lined
up on the beach at the edge of the water, jumping
up and down and waving their arms at me, and
yelling with all their might. But I some
thing more important than that. There were, it
seemed to me, about million huge, wet and
shiny Shark-fins between me and the beach. Some
of them weren't more than ten yards from me.
stopped and trod water, and nervousy slapped
the surface of the water with my hands. l no.
tced that when l slapped the water particularly
hard the sharks that were nearest to me edged
back and circled at a greater distance from me.
So kept on sapping the water
The sharks were waiting for me to get tired,
and they took it easy. Forty natives put out
after me in one of those sixtyfoot-long and two
foot-wide canoes with the outrigger arrangement
familiar in the South Seas, and in the bow of the
boat and directing them was an old quartermaster
from British trading schooner in the harbor.
Splash, keep a-splashing, you Yankee pup
idiot" he bawled at me as the canoe approached
where in the middle of the semcircle of
waiting sharks.
l was a good deal scared, but as the canoe
approached I noticed that all of the natives that
weren't helping to pull the canoe were leaning
over the side and sapping and churning the
water with all their might and main. That set
tied it. The sharks dispersed like bunch of
stampeded mountain-goats, and was hauled into
the and scolded by the British quarter
master for my folly until we pulled up the
beach. That was my first experience with the
cowardice of sharks.

Thanksgiving Dayis Here


And so the heart of man is glad and he is
thankful to the brim for many things, especially
for the fact that the turkey is not migratory
but in certain sense, mandatory bird. Be-
cause it is an unwritten law that man, to do
himself and the day justice, must look upon the
turkey when it is brown and oozing odorifer
ously and well. And as rule he does not trans
gress or violate this unwrtten law any more
than if fine were the penalty of becoming amen
able to it.
1t is time when he thinks turkey to such
an extent that when the antique bird is swept
into his ken hanging by the talons, he doesn't
see anything else in the restaurant window. The
corned beef and mutton, though they shine In
the flesh in carvings of wood painted real
istically impressionistically to cajole or to
deceive or to create or waken an appetite in the
famished palsied seer, are dimmed into in
significance by the antique bird in whose wake
is joy and peace and which is, on any set of
general principles that may be laid down, an
ornate biped, with whose traditions all are in
such hearty sympathy and accord that 1t Is at
once pronounced a gorgeous feast that is tooth
some to the toothess.
On Thanksgiving day that all round democratic
dish, corned beef, though smiling in its death
less cabbage wreath feels that even the glory
of democracy has limit and may be tempo
rarily dimmed and it's pride is therefore natur-
ally wounded And the fact that it is put upon
the restaurant menu makes it feel itself on a
level with the admiral the retired list, who,
through with fighting is still eligible a writer
of magazine articles and stove polish testi
monials 1t seems a great pity that the turkey
should live and die and be eaten in utter ig
norance of the great, luminous joy that it makes
in the human heart-a joy that revolves to the
measure of unheard melodies eighteen
carat golden axis in the human stomach.
Considered in the abstract in the concrete
the turkey rises far above the eagle that they
are not fit to be named on the same DISH The
eagle was hatched to shine on the national coin;
the turkey bursts the shell to shine upon the ma
tional damask and it is matter of fact that it
takes more than the dollar coin which the
eagle spreads himself until he feels less like
ffty-two cents, to buy turkey Therefore, the
turkey outranks and outsoars the eagle finan-
cally, as we'll as the table. And yet the tur-
key is ignorant of this fact even it is of the
fact that it is the excuse for day or feasting,
of which day it is itself the feast.
And it doesn't know that unlike the pancake,
it is as good cold off the ice hot off the griddle
or even off the bat If the turkey knew these
things it would probably put on an air of i'm
portance and pride that would, all things
sidered be quite proper and worthy and becom-
ing 1t would strut with the peerless grace of a
drum major, and feel like drum major from
Los Angeles herald., 1907-12-01
Fictitious Writings.


worthy correspondent of our own, layman
in the common walks of life has often alluded
to the mischief consequent on too intimate an
acquaintance with fictitious writings-or that por-
tion of them which have become as numerous and
obtrusive the frogs of Egypt 1t matters lit
tie by what they are called, whether ro-
mances, novels, or tales. Most of them profess
to have moral; but who can afford to toll
through 300 or 1000 pages to find moral. Be
it not understood decry all romances, nor
declaim against the wellchosen book. But the
incessant pursuit of clammy untruths told at so
much per page will initiate against one in the
proper realization of life's duties. When the
mania for reading is on, it may not be seen and
felt TOLL but the effect on the mind and body
is wasting than the toll of the slave; and is
more certain to deprive both of rest when the toll
is professedly suspended. Aching limbs, and per-
turbed spirits, and feverish dreams are not very
desirable bedfellows; but they are the best that
determined novel reading provides.
Coleridge with the perception and discrimina
ton of a philosopher but not therefore the less
lucidly and impressively, exposes some of the
evils of habtual novel reading: "It cannot but
be injurious that the human mind should never be
called into effort The habit of receiving pleasure
without any exertion of thought by the mere ex-
ctement of curiosity and Sensibil1ty, may be just
ly ranked among the worst effects of habitual
novel reading. Those who conine their reading
to such books, dwarf their own faculties, and
finally reduce their understandings to deplora-
BILE imbecility. Like idle morning visitors the
brisk and breathless periods hurry off in quick
and proftless succession, each, indeed for the mo-
ment of it's stay, prevents the pains of vacancy,
while it indulges the love of soth; but all to-
gether they leave the mistress of the house (the
soul, I mean,) flat and exhausted incapable of
attending to its own concerns, and untitled for
the conversation of rational guests"
1t is not in fiction or narration, that this evil
consists; the framework may be fictitious, and
the filling up solid truth. Jotham's account of
the trees going forth to anoint, elect king,
was not, and could not be literally true-but it
brought truth home to those concerned, with
force which moved them than the literal
truth could have done. Cowper apostro-
phzes Bunyan as the
Ingenious dreamer, in whose well-told tale
Sweet fiction and sweet truth alike prevail,
Whose pilgrim points the road
And marks the progress of the soul to God"
This is book of truth, theoretical, experiment
tai, practical truth, real Bible truth, although
city earth could be found like that through
which the pilgrim travelled, and no such per-
sonages, objects, incidents and adventures he
met with on the way. But they all indicate
facts and feelings, triumphs, and depressions.
1t is the MATTER of book which renders it
valuable worthless.

THINGS THEY WERE NOT AC-

Disgusting Aftermanth of the Verdict
in the Rowland Case

The acQuittal of DR. Rowland and his
wife. in Raleigh. yesterday. was ioi-
lowed by some unusual scenes. among
them a public reception. during TIE
course of which a wagon load OF flow
ers was broght in. DIR. Rowland and
his wife were accused of having killed
Engineer Strange. the woman's hus-
band. SO as to make her marriage 10
DR. Rowland convenient Soon after
the engineers death they registered
at a Norfolk hotel as man and wife
before they had been married. That
testimony was proved. Other evidence
not of 4 character to call for flowers
was brought out during the trial In
the jubilation over the verdict Of an
acquittal which had all the time
been expected, the Raleigh people who
trod on each others heels. smashed
each others hats and tore each other :
clothes in a mad rush TO get the hand
shake. must have overlooked these
things The Rowlands We're acquitted
of the murder Of the engineer. but
there were things they were not ac-
quilted Of The hysteria excited by
their case would have been out o.

Corporal Punishment Again?

The New York board Of registration
has ordered An investigation into the
question Of whether or not the aboli-
ton Of corporal punishments in the
schools of that city has been beneffc-
iaI or detrimental to the system. A
special committee of three members
will look into the matter and make
a report to the central body. Nine

North Carolina Literature

The literary work being done 10
this state now is on a much larger
scale and far more pretentious than a
few years ago During the past five
years North Carolina authors have
written a number Of books along diff
ferent lines that have attracted wide
attention, and more of such work is
expected from them. 1t Is TO be hoped
our writer's Of ability will pay due at
tention to history to the end that he
facts about this states and sections
past may be known and known in the
proper way. The making of histories
in the past has been left too much to
New England writer's. Our own writ
ers have had little to say along these
lines AS result the facts of Nassa-
chusetts history are much more famil-
lar to many school pupils in this Sec
ton than the facts Of North Carolina
history. Now that this state and sec
tion are producing more writer's Of real
ability who are willing to engage in
literary pursuits it is only natural to
suppose that this defect that has ex-
listed to such great extinct heretofore
will be remedied-WinsOn Sentinel

,RyAN,S PROMISED ANNoCNCH'-
MENT

November 25th will be the big day VI
tho wear for democracy in this couh-
trv, On that day Mr.. Bryan will make
an important political announcement
.ccordinr to his own statement. Oh
that dav the country, we suppose, Will
know what Mr.. Bryan's present views
are on the political questions now agi-
tating the public mind. Washington
CITY will be the place where this mo-
mentous announcement will be made.
Not long ago Mr.. Bryan was invited
to deliver a lecture before the school
of nolitical science Of George Washing
ton University on November 2oth.
He accepted and in doing so staten
his intention of making on that occa-
sion IAN important political announce
ment''. 1t is said that before making
the address Mr.. Bryan will hold
conference with his political frlenos
and that the conclusions sf that con-
ference will determine the position he
will take in his lecture The friends
whom Mr.. Bryan will consult will be
those closest to him politically, of
course. For that reason the tenor of
the important political announce
ment'' he will make can be pretty well
guessed this far ahead Of the occasion.
We suppose it will be in the nature Of
a bid for the support of the conserva-
tive element in the party, especially
that of the south. We believe, how
ever, that to secure the electoral votes
of the south Bryan must not only
modify, but recant his former deslar-
ations of government ownership of
railroads and of the initiative and ref-
erendum. Even should he make such
recantation so many of the demo-
Gratis of the south would be afraid OF
him that were he to become the party's s
nominee the solid south would be
broken-''A man convinced against his
will is of the same opinion still'', the
conservative democrats think applies to
politicians as we'll as to people in
other callings.
