1t is that the Senorita wishes to
hear the love story Of Manuel and
Lyzette? The children Of the
ranchero have told her how old
Heyila knows all manner of strange
tales and legends? An, but they
did not know it was the love-legend
Of her own lost youth for which they
bade you ask. Who, indeed, could
dream of Heyila in the same breath
gith youth and love! But women's
hearts are so pitifully slow to grow
old, Senorita, and the Heyila Of long
ago was beautiful, men said, fit VIC
tim for the merciless espado, Love !
All, he is cruel, that Loyel for
when he enters the arena, he fights
not with the slight weapons Of the
Toreo, but with the swords of life
and death, of hate and despair; and
the quiyering flesh he pierces is not
that Of helpless brutes, but the shud-
dering life of human hearts. All,
Senorita, wait until you have loved
ere you seek to comprehend love ;
wait until you have hated ere you
think to understand hate, stronger
than life, conquerer over death, de-
flying hell, ITSELF
Listen, then, and l will tell you
how Mexicans love and hate. For, ia

cratic paper in Judge Evans con-

Judge Evans attack on time
tried Democrats. In its last
issue the Democrat editorially
says:
Judge Evans made a mistake
in his Joplin speech. He quoted
Mr.. Cowherd as saying:
I call upon the old time-tried
democracy to rally to the flag
"Then Judge Evans said:
Why should Mr.. Cowherd lay
stress upon the words time
tried Democrats unless he meant
to rally and call to his support
the old machine. And in the
magic of these utterances the old
guard, as they call themselves,
have found new inspiration and
new hopes, and have taken on
new energy and the captains are
now giving orders from one end
of the state to the other, and are
proclaiming victory already; and
I tell you, the fight is not over,
but has just begun, and every
inch Of ground will be contested,
and there will be no retreat.
ut seems strange that Judge
Evans should object to any call
that a Democrat may make to
get his party in line; to get the
wanderers back, if there are
any; to secure harmony, if there
has been discord.
Judge Evans, for years, has
been an ofice-holder, and be-
longed to the old guard, or he
could not have held his office.
And what does old guard
mean but the kind of Democrats
like Major John N. Edwards,
Senator Vest, Senator Cockrell
and those grand old leaders
referred to? Surley old time

wrested Missouri from the Nc
Clures, Fletchers and Rodmans,
and Mr.. Cowherd, no doubt,
had these in mind.
Judge Evans is specious in

Is it asking tOO much that, law abiding intelligent natives should have the doorof opportunity and faircompetition opened to them? Are they not as well qualified to exercise the right of citizenship as nine tenths of the foreigners hitherto naturalized by our courts? They should at once be given the right to hold lands, to locate mining claims, to be come licensed pilots and engin- eers. and to forge forward asfast
The Thlinget., 1908-09-01

In judging of this philanthroplc work carried on by missionaries and teachers, the first glaring mistake they make is to com- pare the natives with the whites: and because they do not see them as a whole living equally as well as the whites on a whole, they boldly declare that nothing has been done for the natives.
 Now thiscomparison ismanifest-
 ly unjust both to the native and the worker.

Git now seems timely for the eD missionaries of the various denominations to unite in peti- tioning Congress to determine the legal status of the natives Of South Eastern Alaska.

conscientious. Without lookinginto the merits of the case, or viewing it from various Standpoints, he takes a one-sided view Of it, hastily draws his con clusions and flatters him. self that he is capable of delivering an opinion upon
 it. Now the education- al and missionary work amongst the natives Of
 Alaska, has a host of just
 such irresponsible critics They seem to be supreme ly indifferent about being just either to the cause or the workers.

He knew that she had risen not in

He wished that she had died before

last night in the garden while he held
her in his arms and their hearts beat
together. She had told him then that
she loved him, yet she was here with
this man-here Of her own free will,
the same girl he had worshiped as a
goddess in the white moonlight twenty
four. hours ago.
The thought was hot in. his heart as
the soaring touch of iron red from the

His blood sang In his ears song Of
death, and for an instant all was black
