I did not forget and when the buyer
MIR. Durham-arrived in the field a
few days later 1 had manufactured
cheek enough to ask a high price for
my property. He had brought another
chemist with him and after spending
two days in examining the property
and analyzing the water. they came
and sat down on either side of me and
asked me for my figures. 1 was rather
nervous and instead of saying "a mil
lion" as / had intended, somehow
gasped ten millions" Durham fell
over and the chemist walked of little
distance and then turned and surveyed
me with a suspicious look.

That is more like it," said the buyer.

We did talk-did great deal Of

thought that I was the happiest
man that walked the earth, but that
night L could not close my eyes. The
next day I walked-walked all day.
That night I had to hire a Chink to
sit up with me. The next night 1 had
to have two Chinks to keep me from
going wild.
I began to discover that "a cool mill
lion" was a great big load. What would
do with so much money? A thou

tion. In what shape would / take the

Sometimes I thought to have it all in
large bills and go straight home to old
Missouri. At other times / concluded
to forward it by express. Those were
sixty awful days and sixty awful
nights. How slowly the time passed.
At last the horror was about to end
and 1 started for San Francisco to get
my million and happiness. I reached
the city early in the morning, and,
trembling with anxiety, I slowly made
my way to the Office Of the great Eng
fish Soda company. I caught sight OF
something black fiuttering about the
doorknob. Death" I whispered. A
man on the inside slowly opened the
door, and to him 1 gently put a few
questions.
Mr.. Durham has committed sui

been leading a wild life in this blasted
country, and he has spent millions of
the company's money. 1 am afraid It

breath. He knew all about the Soda
Lake deal.
That is all Off" he said.
And then 1 left, walking firmer and
feeling better than for two months be-
fore. Suddenly I became hungry and
sleepy and happier than I knew. I re-
turned to Soda Lake, and. after four
years Of hard work l accumulated a
little fortune. 1t was no trouble to
take care of that kind Of money, and
knew how TO take It to old Missouri.

CONTIGUOUS PANIC CURE.

Mr.. COrtelyOu, secretary of the treas
ury. has devised a plan for the olivia
ton of financial stringency by which
he hopes to offset the constantly recur-
ring paniCs or semi-panics which strike
Wall street every time there is a
heavy demand for money with which
TO transact the legitimate business of
the country.
As everybody knows, the revenue of
the treasury last year. ending June So
was about $S7,OO0,O OO more than was
needed for the nations expenses dur
ing the same period. That is to say.
SS7.000,000 of the peoples money was
unnecessarily taken out of circulation
and placed IN the vaults of the treas
ury, where ii served no purpose but to
limit the circulation of the country.
contribute materially to a financial
emergency and put a premium on
money. Not only does it demonstrate
the unscientific banking system under
which the finances of the country are
operated. but it affords a perfect illus
tration of the excessive taxation in
fiieted by the tariff schedules which
are responsible for most of the surplus
in the revenues.
Since the system itself cannot be
remedied without congressional action.
Mr.. COrtelyOu is probably right in pro-
viding the temporary relief which is
possible in his discretion; but the sys-
TEN itself, and the tariff which is A
twin evil, should both be corrected. A
flexible currency, capable of expansion
or contraction on normal lines and
safeguarded in every way should be
possible in every modern government.
most of all in a nation like the United
States, where development and con-
struction call for enormous working
capital. and where the genuine BUSH
ness of the country has outgrown the
antique currency system now in vogue.
AS for the tariff. even the Republicans.
Of whom Mr. Taft is the exponent, ad-
nit that a reform is necessary and
only urge delay as a means Of evading
the question as an issue in a national
campaign.

as never delegates were entertained
before and they will come away with
the fires of Democracy freshly lighted
in their hearts. They will come away
full of enthusiasm, ready to do battle
for the great cause.
There is one other reason that we
must call attention to, though neces-
sarily we have omitted many excellent
ones. If the convention is held in
Louisville Colonel Henry Watterson
will be there. He just cannot sidestep
it. The colonel said the other day that
he had not attended a Democratic ma
tional convention since 1892 and that
he had made up his mind never TO at
tend another. Now let's take the con-
vention to him.
What do you say to asking your ma
tional committeeman to meet you at
Louisville in 1908?

The SPIRIT OF 1903.

Among the many interesting things
in the recent centenary number of the
New Bedford Mercury, in which are
reprinted stories from the early issues
of that paper, we find the following:
Holmes Hole. Feb. %, 1908.
Sailed from Salem on the 18th of De-
cember, in bark Active, bound for Malais.
On the 4th Jan, lat. Sc. 10 N, lon. IA W,
was boarded by the British letter of
marque, Lord Cranstown, Gibson, from
Liverpool, bound for Nevis, who put a
prize faster and six men on board, and
took out my two mates and five men,
leaving me cook. steward and one man,
and ordered US to keep company with
him, which we did until the 18th, when
we parted company, and the next day l
rose, confined the prize master and crew
below, and re-took the vessel, and arrived
here yesterday.
w. P. RICHARDSON.
A great story, that, and told so SIM
ply and so well that the picture is in
delibly impressed upon the mind of
the reader. Captain Richardson with
his steward, cook and one man rose,
confined the prize master and crew be-
low, and retook the vessel" They were
and crew had all the advantage, both
in numbers and in opportunities. But
Richardson saw his chance and. with
cool, calculating courage, he made the
most of it.
And perhaps the most beautiful
thing about the story is the quite in
cidental way in which it is told. Cap
tain Richardson, peace to his ashes,
didn't seem to think his achievement
was at all out of the ordinary. 1t was
only a part of the days work. His
ship was taken, entirely without war
rant or authority, by a pirate sailing
under the British colors. When the
right time came he took back his own
again and went on his way. 1t seems
a pity that he was not in a position
to complete the job by pursuing the
pirate and sinking him. But if he had
been prepared to make that sort of
fight he never would have been cap
tured in the first place.
We hear a good deal about "the
spirit of '76'' 1t was a very fine
spirit, the spirit that actuated the col
onies in the defiance of the greatest
power the world at that time knew, the
spirit that fought and won the war of
the revolution. But, after all, it was
no finer than the spirit of 1903, or 1872,
or 1850, or 1898. Our private opinion,
and we are free to express it publicly,
is that the spirit accompanies the ne
cessity in the citizenship of this re-
public. Whether they are called upon
to show it on land or on sea, in peace
or in war, it is there when it is need
ed and, please God, it will always be
there.

WHY NOT LOUISVILLE?

Louisville, the metropolis of Ken
lucky and one of the historic cities of
the south, is making a strong bid for
the next Democratic national conven-
ton. There is no good reason why the
convention should not be held in Louis
Vile. There are many reasons why if
should be held there. Louisville is
more easily accessible to a greater
number of real, live, enthusiastic Dem
Ocrats than any other city in the
union. If the convention is held in
Louisville there win be no question
about it's enthusiasm or its attendance
From all over the south Democrats
VIII pour into Louisville, and the CITY
is easily accessible TO Democrats from
the north. east and west. Louisville
has great convention hall CAPABLE of
taking care Of a convention of anv
magnitude. 1t has a number of first
class hotels. and if the hotels should
be filled to overlooking ten thousand
hospitable homes will be thrown omen
to the delegates and visitors. There
will be no lack OF creature comforts in
Louisville.
The south has been furnishing the
bulk of the votes for the Democratic
presidential nominees ever since the
war of the states. 1t has furnished
them cheerfully, and it has never ask
ed for anything in return. No south
ern man, Notwithstanding the fact that
there are no more loyal Americans
than southern Democrats, has been
placed on a national Democratic ticket
since the war. But the south has not
complained. 1t has been too busy with
its own rebuilding and advancement
and progress to enter any protest. And
all the while 1t has marched blithely to
the polls and voted the Democratic
ticket
The south is not now asking any
nomination at the hands of the next
Democratic national convention. 1t
asks only the honor of entertaining the
convention, and the convention will
honor itself by honoring the south,
through the city of Louisville. The

held in Louisville, will be entertained

MHY THEY HATE AsHToWN.

Because the Irish people have long
memories, Lord Ashtown's seat,
Glenahiry Lodge, in County Water
ford, was blown up by dynamite some
days ago. His lordship was asleep in
the house at the time, but escaped in
jury, though it is said that the build
ing was almost entirely demolished
The escape of Ashtown is regarded as
miraculous. The story of the hatred
in which the name of Ashtown is held
in Ireland dates back more than a
hundred years. For. the first Lord
Ashtown, then Frederick Trench, was
responsible, in 1879, for the defeat in
the Irish house of commons of Pom
sonby's declaration that 1T was 1.-The
undoubted birthTight of the Irish to
have a resident and independent leg
islature" Ashtown's vote was against
it and it was the vote the opposition
needed.
A historian says:
That vote, which virtually sealed the
doom of Ireland's parliament, was cast
BY Frederick Trench, who early in the
his determination to vote in favor of the
AMENDMENT that is to say, in behalf OF
the maintenance Of Ireland's parliament.
He had hardly resumed his seat before he
agent Of Lord Castlereagh. and during
the following hour Cook went several
times backward and forward between
Trench and Castlereagh. Finally, just
before the division, Trench rose to say
that he had been mistaken in his previous
utterances, and that ne would vote with
the ministers and against the maintenance
of Irelands parliament For this Trench
was rewarded few months later by his
elevation to the peerage as Lord Ashtow1.
The story of this most fragrant and
shameless of ali the sales of votes by
ireiand's legislators of their country's leg
islative independence is eloquently de-
scribed in Leckys history of England in
the Eighteenth Century" and also in Sir
Jonah Barrington's book on the union of
Ireland with England.
The incident of the dynamite bomb
shows that the Irish are good haters.
And, indeed, they cannot BE blamed
for heaping hatred upon the heads of
the Ashtown line. Had 1t not been for
the first Lord Ashtown Ireland might
today have a parliament of her own,
though it is not by any means certain
that some other traitor would not
have been found. In any event.
though, the act of union would have
been postponed.
The present Lord Ashtown is a large
land owner. He has thousands of
acres in Galway and Tipperary and
also in Yorkshire. When he was only
twelve years of age he succeeded to
the title. Lady Ashtown is the daugh-
ter of Thomas Cosby, representative of
one Of the oldest families of Great
Britain, his ancestors having settled
at Stradbally during the reign of
Queen Mary.
