The Pria and His Cane.

Towed by a l1aIibut.

About the mouths Of the streams on
which salmon camps are situated the
Indian dogs and children amuse them
selves catching the fish. Some of the
youngsters are so small that after they
have succeeded in cornering a fish
the combined efforts of the party are
often required to dispatch it and carry
1t to camp. 1 have watched dogs run
ming about in a rift swapping at the
salmon and apparently having the time
Of their lives.
One of the most amusing sights that
/ saw during my stay in Alaska was
two Indian boys being towed about
the harbor at Kadiak by huge hall
but they had just hooked. Utterly un-
able to land the fish, they had fastened
the line to the stern of the boat. and
while they pulled with all their might,
each one at an oar. they rallied each
other for not exerting more strength
and shouted loudly for help. Finally
an Indian put out in boat. and the
fish was landed.-Forest and Stream.

A Wedding Superstition.

1t has been considered unlucky to be
married in May ever since the days of
Ovid, and those people who have spent
their time in looking up roots and
reasons hhve given what they consider
to be the origin Of the superstition as
follows:
In ancient Rome there was held in
HAY a festival called the Lemuria, or
feast of the Lemures, which was a
ceremony in honor of the speeches of
departed souls. 1t became with the
Romans what we should call "bad
form" to have matrimonial feasts at
the season of a solemn ritual. being no
doubt thought to be an insult to the
dead to marry at such time. From
this q number of stories grew Of the
revenge made by the outraged ghosts
upon those who dared to disregard
them, and if anything unfortunate hap
pened to couple who had been mar
ried in May it would of course, have
been put down to retribution. So the
tradition Of i'll luck arose, and its in
fluence has lasted ever since. even to
our time.

The Valley City Patriot suggests
Senator McCumber of this state for
the vice presidential nomination,
and while we cheerfully and unre-
servedly subscribe to the eulogy of
the senator that appears in the Pat
riot, we do not think the state will
be as well served as though Senator
McCumber were continued in the
senate where he has done much good
work and has more yet to do. The
vice presidency is not the COLE of
many political ambitions, and save
an unfortunate circumstance by
which the president be incapacited,
there is little chance Of his succeed
ing to higher honors. His position
is largely one Of dignity and honor
and the office Is largely an altern-
alive one, made necessary that there
shall be successor equipped to
take up the duties Of the presidency
] In case Of the removal Of the presi-
dent. A senator of the United
States has a position Of more prac-
tical Importance and value to the
state and the country and we shall
be glad to see Senator McCumber
continued in his present position.
And we do not think that the vice
presidency will come as far west as
Z North Dakota in this election. The
probable nominee for the presidency
Is western man and the east win
probably get the vice presidential
place.

party which created it. Recognizing
that they could not use this en-
blem, the Davidson Scott faction
got on the ballot under the cap
ton Republican party" but not in
the usual space allotted to that party
which was left blank with the old
emblem of the party at the head of
the column.
Since that time this faction has
adopted the arm and hammer as the
emblem of the party, but the secre-
tary of state for Alabama has ruled
that under the law Vulcan" which
is the emblem filed by the Thompson
faction, continues to be the Repub-
lican party emblem.
The Thompson faction claims that
if the delegates of the Davidson.
Scott faction are recognized it will
be impossible for the Republicans
to get on the ballot of the state at
all. The Thompson delegates are
instructed for Taft and the Davidson.
Scott delegates are not instructed.
At the Republican state conven-
ton in Alabama held in May, 1904,
Thompson was chosen state chair
man for four years and it was while
he was serving that term that he
called the last, convention to name
delegates to- the. national convention
this year. Mr.. Scott has some
strength that cannot be weighed.
Outside of the merits of the case
it is not known what effect the cour-
tesy rule of members of the ma
tional committee standing by one of
their own membership may have on
the vote.
While the question has not been
fully determined it is expected that
all contests will be heard in alpha
betical order, although state con-
tests will be disposed of before dis
trict cases from states where dele
gates at large are not involved are
considered. This would place Flor
ida second in the list.
