Caiifornians Unable to Pay Funeral

SANTA BARBARA, Cal. Feb. A.
Climbing a mountain daily to throw
fresh snow on the body of farmer
schoolmate in order to keep the
corpse preserved for interment is the
loving task which for weeks Edward
Schooley and his wife have performed
in InyO county. The body is that of
Raymond Kelly. who, in recent noun

a mining claim at the summit.
Schooley and his wife were unable
to raise $3.50, the sum demanded to
remove the body to Santa Barbara i'll
the winter time, so they determined
to keep it as long as they could in the
high altitude, and a friendly under
taker promised to go to the spot in
February.
Kelly lost his life while climbing the
mountain and cOmrade ran miles
down the trails in the snow to get aid.
The Schooleys responded, but could
not save Kelly. They carried the
corpse mile down the mountain trail
and hurled it in the deep snow of a
canon temporarily.

Toast Ruined His Chances

If the history of tOasts is generally
familiar, the interest attaching to their
specific character is sometimes ignored;
they have in great measure gone out
of fashion; occasionally now as in
past days the practice is denounced for
it's alleged undesirable tendency. But
for all that. most of us revive the old
custom. and look upon it, indeed, as
one of the most indispensable of that

revive it that we realize how essential

The old service toast, again-which

'Sweethearts" is not necessarily re-

think, does the attitude it implies cease
with marriage. This view admittedly,

punishable by Imprisonment from one
to five years or by a $4,000 fine and
grants immunity to any person testi-

measure goes through it will be the
first antitrust law to find it's way on
the statute books of Washington. While
it has a general scope the particular
purpose of it's Introduction is to break
up the so called combination said to
exist between the grain dealers of Sc
attic, Tacoma and Portland, whereby
the price of wheat is not shown. The
bill carries an emergency clause and
this reputed combine will be the first
attacked. Superior courts have juris-
diction and prosecuting attorneys are
authorized to bring suits in the name
of the state and may secure injunctions
without putting up a bond.

New York Times. Until that dinner
Mr.. Schurz did not know that l was
the author of the editorial he had so
earnestly condemned. The talk at
the table turned upon the results OF
the war, and the recent election OF
General Grant to the presidency. Mr..
Schurz happened to mention the edi-
torial and in very strong terms COM
batted the arguments used in it. After
listening to him for some time IN

of the Objectionable editorial l MAIN
tanned my side as best l could. and
at last Mr.. Swinton joined me in it,
but We could not convince Mr.. Schurz
that it was the correct policy.
"Mr. Schurz was duly elected to the
United States senate, but had not been
long a member of that body when he
became one Of the foremost champions
of extreme leniency toward the south.
One day, happening to be in Wash
ington, l called upon him, and in the
course Of the conversation referred to
his mild attitude, smilingly remarking
that lit had not always been thus,
and called his mind to the editorial
1 had written and his severe structures
thereon, saying that l still retained
the letter he had written to Mr.. Blair,
and that l had a very vivid recollec-
ton of his arguments at the Planters
House dinner in st. Louis. At first
he seemed somewhat nettled, but at
last said it was a poor sort of man
who never changed his opinions. Mr..
Schurz did not WELD with the Grant
administration the influence he eX-
pected to and became a soured and
disappointed man.
During that same visit to Wash
ington / met Senator Morton of In
diana, and in our talk l asked him his
judgment of SchurZ, giving him the
story of the editorial Senator Morton
replied in about these words: ''Schurz
is an intellectual giant, but he is a
dreamer He dreams of an impossible
Utopia, a government constructed and
operated after the manner theologians
talk about as coming with the millen-
ium. He is not only a dreamer, but
lacks stability. If he takes up hobby
for some time he will see nothing but
that hobby, but it will in time give
way to another. He regards himself
as being the only honest politician in
public life, and because other men will
not agree with him in this he will
always be a soured man."
