DREAM sooD.
Hasheesh, the Strange Drug That Is
Used In the Orient


Hasheesh, that strange drug which
has given our language its word 'as-
sassin''-a man so frenZied by the drug
that he accomIIishes murder-is used
by the Persians, Tuyks and Egyptians
In manner akin to the use of opium
by the Chinese. 1t is the product of a
plant grown in large quantities in the
Peloponnesus (sOuthern Greece) in the
district about Tripolitza. The plant
grows to a height of about four feet.
and its branches are thickly covered
with small leaves and studded with
tiny seeds.
The entire plant, stalk and branches,
Is cut within few inches Of the root
and laid out In the sun to dry. The
branches are then rubbed to separate
the seeds, and these in turn are ground
into a fine powder, which constitutes
the drug. The drug has the power OF
inducing sleep and producing pleasant
and fantastic dreams. Continued use Of
basheesh renders it's devotees wild and
reckless and results In a complete
wreck Of their mental and physical
constitution.
For this reason the Egyptian govern
ment prohibited the importation Of the
drug and entered into a convention
with Greece to prevent its EXPORT \
from there to Egypt where ans
sumers Of hasheesh are very 'opes
The drug is practically never used in
Greece. but rs now exported to the va
rious ports in England. Austria, France
and Italy, and from there much, no
doubt ultimately finds Its way to
Egypt.

4 LOVE LETTER.

Disclaiming at the very outset any
knowledge or experience whatsoever
concerning the gentle and wining art
of writing love letters, we wish to
state that the beautiful effusion re-
produced below is from the pen of
another. But SO well does II express
our sentiments regarding few Of
our admirers that the use Of it IS JUS
tilted. They say" that love letters
are very effective sometimes, that
they produce pleasing results. So
mote 1t be! Here 1t is:
Dear daring delinquent! Our
precious subscriber in arrears! You
are so shy! DO you think we have
sold out and gone? No, little sugar
plum, we could not get away If we
wanted to. We are still ut the same
old stand dishing out the news on
sweet promises and bright expecta-
tions. They make an excellent diet,
darling. with a little pudding favored
with Il word Of encouragement to
serve as desert. We are waiting and
watching for thee. our turtle dove.
We long TO hear your gentle footsteps
on the stairway below and to hear
the ring OF the happy dollars within
our Office. Dear one. we feel unuSu-
ally sad and lonely without you dear
Now. little pie~crust. will you come?
DO we hear you answer I'm a voice SO
sweet and beguiling, I'm coming or
is it only the winds that around our
Office roar? We pause for further
devclopement.'
And in this same connection we are
constrained to say with another:
Lives OF poor men oft remind us
honest toll don't stand a chance; the
more we work we leave behind us big
ger patches in our pants. On our
pants once new and glossy now are
patches OF different hue; all because
subscribers linger and won't pay up
what is due Then let us all be up
and doing; send in your mite be it

A NECESSITY

m HERE has been some talk to this
effect, that delegates from the
northern part of the state. will
oppose instructions for Bryan" and are
in favor of sending to Denver what
they call a free and untrammeled dele
cation. In a campaign which will be
fought around the very issues which
have been originated by Mr.. Bryan and
to all of which he has given additional
life and strength and vigor in his Won
derful career during the last twelve
years as leader of the national Democ-
racy, the nomination of Mr.. Bryan is
an absolute and unconditional neces-
sity-a party necessity, a Democratic
necessity, a national necessity. With
out Bryan at the head of the ticket
it would be folly to plunge into a cam
paign on Bryan issues, questions in
timately connected with his career of
craftsmanship and associated with that
patriotic evolution of character with
purpose which makes him today the
most remarkable living American.
Delegates should all be instructed to
vote for Bryan first, last and all the
time. To vote for anyone else would
be waste of energy. The issues this
year are too serious to allow of COM
plimentary votes. Let favoritc sons
take the compliments of their friends
and admirers for granted and let all
unite in voting for William Jennings
Bryan, the Favorite Son and honored
leader of the national Democratic
party
Los Angeles herald., 1908-05-10
A YELLOW DEAL

Ut is charged that Hartman some
months ago made a deal with
- Hearst by which the former was to
have the passive support of the Hearst
papers; passive support to consist in
the gentle attitude of passive acquies-
cence. Hap what might, the Hearst
papers were to let Hartman alone. 1t
is a notorious fact that the San Fran
cisco member of the Hearst family of
papers has been strangely silent with
regard to Hartman and his offenses
In addition to having deprived himself
of the opportunity of accomplishing
anything for the cause of good govern
,ment by alliance with any party COM
manding enough power to achieve def
mite results by the creation and organ
ization of his ridiculous side show, the
alleged Independence league, it would
appear that Hearst has made alliances
which are handicapping him in any
possible efforts to be good and do good.
1t has been alleged that for some
months now the inventor Of yellow
Journalism has been in alliance with
Hartman, either giving him quiet as
sistance or refraining from criticism.
Until Hearst developed his enormous
and inordinate personal ambition and
vanity there was no more splendid
champion of the people against the
Southern Pacific machine than the San
Francisco Examiner. but it is notorious
that of late that paper has RETAINED
from making adverse comment upon the
machine, although today the honest
papers of the state are waging grim
war and making the greatest life or
death assault on that machine ever
made in the history of politics in the
state of California. Hearst's attitude
would be as extraordinary and mex
plicable as it is irreconcilable with his
former professions and protests were
not his motive clearly discernible and
we'll understood.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-05-10
AVALON'S JOKER

A TOUCH of serio-comedy relieved
IA the strenuousness of the political
IA situation in the Seventeen district.
By one OF fate's strange whims, ex~
actly $50 votes were cast for the Lin
coin Roosevelt league and exactly $50
for the machine. Suddenly somebody
and by and by everybody, remembered
that over on Catalina island there was
a precinct. The Lincoln-Roosevelt
workers, however, had neglected to
send It a ticket. The result was. that
Catalina gave twenty-five votes to the
machine, thereby turning over to 1t
eleven delegates! That little marooned
precinct was a little joker, but the joke
was on the Lincoln-Roosevelt league,
which, however, is not feeling par
ticularly joyous or jocund over it, for
reasons which will be apparent to any,
one who will take the trouble to do a
little bit of figuring.
