4 LETTER OF THANKS

It is with an aching heart and trembling hand that l attempt to write this letter of thanks, but we want to again thank our kind neighbors and friends for their kindness and helping hands shown us during the illness and death of our loving son (Eagle), and also thank our physicians, Drs. Marsh and Ar hold, for the effort they put forth to restore him to health. We can't see why the dear Lord should take from us our loving daughter and son in such a short time but we leave it all with him, for he knows best all things and doeth all things we'll. We pray the richest blessing upon all who showed us their kindness and spoke comforting words to us. His father and mother,

ASSET OF CREDIT CURRENCY

The advocates of asset cur rency, or credit currency, are again chirping merrily in the daily newspapers. Congressman Charles N. Fowler, of New Jer- sey and MT. Henry w. Peabody,
 of Massachusetts have been writ ing letters and interviews urging the friends of national banks and sound currency and gold standard" to repeal the restric- tions imposed by the act of Con- gress of 1882, upon the sudden retirement of bank notes for speculative purposes. The act of 1882 was passed to protect the country against the arbitrary and unexpected contraction and subsequent expansion of currency by banks of issue which had re- suited in disaster to the whole country. In 1881; an aggregate
The Nevada County picayune., 1907-11-21

retirement of SIS, 900, 900 of bank currency had caused a panic;and the act was passed to take away
 from the banks this panic-power. The debates in Congress at that time show that even the Repub- licans had learned to dread the
 exercise of such a power by the interruptions fnanciers of those days. But now, it is proposed to restore this panic-power by en- abling banks to issue asset cur rency with no security and to substitute the 'cats and dogs of Wall Street as security for deposits, and use the government bonds, which the law has hereto fore required as security for de- posits. as a means of obtaining additional notes for circulation; thus enabling the Wall Street gamblers to expand and contract the currency at will, and to mak 2 contraction a subterfuge fo r emptying the National Treasury into their own coffers. Of course Democrats oppose this scheme on principle. Every honest man should oppose 1t from motives of expediency, even if he is not a Democrat.

THE B0BTAlLED D0RG AND TRt
 THOMAS CAT

By "Old Cockeye. All Rights Re
 served. There was a ma n who owned a dorg, A bobtailed. honery cuss, And that thar dorg got that thar ma Into many an ugly muss. A woman owned Thomas cat. That fit at fifteen pound, And other cats got up and slid When that thar cat was round. That man he passed the woman hous
 alway,
 The dorg was close behind, The woman smiled and said good-day She seemed so monstrous kind. The day was warm, the sun was hot, The cat was dozing gear the well, So when that dorg he see that cat He went for him like fits, The Thomas opened wide his eyes And frazzled up his tail, He spit and spat, then went to work And rained his claws like hail The dorg he chewed and chawed And fit and parked and bawled. The woman danced and pranced arour Then got her broom and squalled: ''Lick him Tommie, lick him good, ker-whack that broom came down The man, excited, got in the way And caught it on the crown. The dorg got lose and lit for home, Two-forty was his gait. The man, he thought to fix it up, But concluded not to wait. So to his home he hurried off As fast as he could run, He thought 1t best to not go back, For in women, cats and brooms there
 no fun
 That bobtailed dorg is wiser now, The man, too, has lost his cheek, And travels now another road For he and the woman do not speak.

SPECULATION AND BUSINESS

Take the railroads out of Wall Street, and the tickers out of the railroad offices, and the trouble between the people and the rail- roads will be vastly diminished. It is the gambling of railroad of ficials that cause most of the rascalities of railroad manage ment. The connection between the Wall Street spectators, the railroads, the trusts and the Re- publican politicians is the cause of the panic that is crippiing the industries of the country.

WOOD RAT TYPIFIEs MAN.


Too many Americans have the wood
rat instinct The wood rat, the ami
NAL, is native of southern Oregon,
but the wood rat typified in man is
not restricted to any small section Of
state or nation, but is well nigh uni
versal
The wood rat is small, no larger than
O common rat, but his ambition and
acquisitiveness are Unsuitable. His
one insane desire seems to be to IN
crease the size of his pile Of sticks.
The neighboring field is placed under
tribute First, all the nearby sticks
are gathered into the pile. Then, as
these are cleaned up, he goes farther
and farther away from home, and ev-
cry twig is eagerly seized upon to in
crease the size of his pile of sticks.
The wood rat regards his pile OF
sticks as a refuge In time of trouble.
On the first sound of alarm he rushes
for the pile and crawls underneath. 1t
is here that he often finds his destruc-
ton, for summer fire sometimes
sweeps through the woods, and the
wood rats pile of sticks makes
veritable furnace. The larger the pile
the hotter the fire, and thus he has
piled up the means of his own agony.
We do not need to carry the COM
parison any further. The lesson is
obvious, but still many of us do not
appear to realize that we are like the
wood rat, worshiping pile of sticks.
We marry man because of the size
of his pile of sticks and not from an
innate attractiveness. We call this
man success because he can gather
sticks faster than any of his compan-
ions. We call this man sharp" and
'shrewd" because, after fellow
worker has laboriously made a huge
pile, he steps in and GUSTS his fellow
from the pile and appropriates all the
sticks for his own.
Let us take warning from the wood
rat and the summer fire-the larger
the pile of sticks the fiercer burns the
fire when the time Of destruction final
ly arrives.-Montreal Star.
