AMERIcA-THE MARVELLOUS NATION.

With the opening of another great American eXpos
ton this at Norfolk to commemorate the 3OOth annlver
sary of the founding of Jamestown, reminded
again of the marvel of our national growth.
When remember that jamestown founded
only rs years after the discovery of America and add
to this 800 years. bagaee in the cycles OF his
tory it affords appreciation of countrys great
and sturdy young development that can hardly be
obtained from any other point of view.
In ALL 415 years We were discovered when the ma
tions of Europe growing old. The great empires
of the orient had existed for thousands and thousands Of
years The world had the rise and fall of nnumer-
able powers England was hoary when were born.
Look at the picture present today.
If our exposons were merely educational and
broadening, if they merely drew together the citizens
from all quarters of the American empire they would
be distinctly advantageous; but when this at least,
present such a realization of vy and stur-
dness and of development hitherto unknown in the
mails of all history, it is more than worth while.

REAL SNAKES IN
SWELL HOTEL

SAN BERNARDINO, Cal, May
1.-Rattlesnakes are all well and
good when away by their lonesome
in some forsaken desert, or they
are nice enough tucked away in a
gilt cage where they cannot get
out. But they are very undersir-
able residents of a fashionable
hotel.
A pair of energetic chamber
maids who were doing the cleaning
up act the other day in the St,
Charles hotel here ran across a
bunch of of the biggest rattlers
in the country in a closet off one
of the guest chambers. They did
not tarry to test their ability as
charmers, but set up a howl of
terror that alarmed the entire
neighborhood. A huntink party
was organized and the snake an
initiated. Besides the A live
rattlers other specimens as dead
as doornails were found near at
hand.
The proprietress of the hosiery
had housed a couple of medicine
fakirs recently and when they
jumped their board bill they left
their drawing cards stored away in
closet without telling the people
of the hotel anything about them.

The Daily Short Story
JAMS TREASURE


Jan Michal lay under the sunny
side of the sand rock cliff his dilap-
idated "dicer" pulled over his eyes
| and his bare toes turned to the
ocean. In a small cut in the sand
cliff a few steps away fire of
driftwood smoked .indifferently and
can of savory coffee dubbed mer-
rily in the hot ashes. Four large
"murphies" were roasting in the
Goals and happy at the thought that
the next meal was provided he
pulled the "dicer" down over his
nase and invited slumber.
Jan was a "bum"-not an Ordi-
nary hobo, however, for he had
ideas about life and things which
were truly philosophical. He came
hither and went thither, always
happy when plodding along the
wayside, a bit of song on his lips
and a smile for everyone he met,
loathing labor of any kind and per-
haps as fond of water as a pullet.
But he was happy. He lived not in
the yesterday nor the tomorrow of
life; he kept neither diary nor a
bank account but he lived in the
today, enjoying each living minute
and trusting luck with the next
mealf And the only thing that puz-
zled Jan was why other people did
not live in the today of life. Con
slider the lilies of the field" he ar
gued, they spin not nor do they
| toll"
Jan became conscious of some
thing boring into his back between
his shoulderblades He sat up
dreamily and probed in the sand
where he had been lying and the
rough corner of an iron chest came
to light. He dug away feverishly
and lifted the chest out on the sand,
and with a rock he broke off the
lid. And then ran his arm clear to
the elbow into pile of yellow
coins. Gold! gold! gold!
And Jan was rich Each day he
wined and dined sumptuously,
bowled about in magnificent motor
| cars. A hundred servants waited on
| him and a thousand friends smiled
upon him. But, oh, the misery of it
all! They made him stay and sit
over his chest of gold; they made
him wear shoes; he dared not come
and go as he pleased. How he
longed for the free highways and
! byways, the daisies and mOonlit
trails and wild seas. The fine
steaks and tenderly spitted fowls
We're never so good as the baked
''murphies -
Jan sat up suddenly shivering. A
white, frothy wave had broken over
his bare feet. The sun had gone
down, the tide had approached
| perilously near the base of the cliff
and the moon above was shining
brightly. The frothy, white break
ers cleaned white in the moonlight
and roared monotOnously.
Jan, who a minute before was
just in the act of severing a savory
piece of white meat from the
/ breast of fat, young pullet, got on
his feet and raked the ashes away
from the baked "murphies." He
was ravenously hungry and he
swore to find that during his sleep
the coffee had boiled away.
what a bloomin dream" he
said. Thank God it was only a
| dream,"
The cool sea breeze blew across
his face and daisies in the sand
rock seemed to open their eyes and
smile at him and the moonlit beach
showed a white trail toward the
starry horizon wall. An Jan want
ed to dance and shout but he only
sank on his knees in the sand and
raised his hands to heaven.
Thank Cod" he echoed, at was
only a dream!"

Water company has been cited to ap-
pear in Washington. before the as
sistant attorney general. and show
cause why fraud order prohibiting

complaint alleges that the company is
conducting a lottery and using the
mails as a medium to advertise and
that therefore it should be denied the
use of the mails. The only chance in
connection with these Carey act open
ings is the drawings which the state
conducts, the process being entirely in
dependent from the company except
that the company advertises extensive
ly so that they may sell water rights as
speedily as possible,
The plan of the state drawing is pat
termed after the method of allotment
in the opening of Indian and other res
ervations and the case therefore pre-
sents an interesting feature. In all
probability. as the state is vitaIly in
terested. the matter will be referred to
Attorney General Guheen.
These proceedings were instituted
when, after some of the advertising
matter had been held up, an investi-
CATION was made by one of the agents
of the department. The agent recon-
mended that the company be cited to
appear and show cause why such mat
ter should not be excluded from the
United States mails.
Should it be held that such advertis-
ing matter should not be transmitted it
would undoubtedly greatly handicap
similar land openings in the future, or
compel the adoption of new system
of allotment As the federal govern
ment employs identically the same
methods at openings the outcome will
be watched with interest. Boise
