it. Where can you git a piece

TT was Dick Wilson But here How could it be?
1t could not. But it was! What reason could
- there be for the presence of Dick Wilson in the
middle of the island of Tugidak that forsaken spot
which reaches by long running jump from the
uttermost edge of uttermost Alaska! For myself,
there was the excuse of Government business
nected with certain tribal census taking. For him,
there validating circumstance whatever. L
had last him ten years ago, six thousand miles
away on the island of Manhattan; and
even there he far enough from his natural home
in Wyoming There nothing IN the world to
take him to Alaska and he could not possibly be in
Alaska. Yet there he was!
There was no mistaking the height of the figure
that approached along the tundra path There
could be no doubt about the set of his shoulders,
or the quick sdewise, suspicious turn of his head
a habit he had acquired in times when now and
again he was an object of pursuit. For instance,
there the historic time when he and his friends
raided dance hall and corral in the same night.
and clad in ballet costume, drove OFT a bunch OF
horses over the Red Desert And again there was
the time when he married a Carlisle girl in Okla
homa and sold the remains of his revered and de-
ceased mother in law to a museum in New York
could guess; but he looked over his shoulder as
if he was expecting something.
To certify myself, | turned the field glasses on
him from my place of COnCealment. We two had
read brands together at greater distances than
this before now under circumstances not quite the
as these. Dick would have scotfed at me had
l failed to read human brands at that distance,
whether in the Panhandle of Texas or the Panhandle
of Alaska. 1t was he, and hailed him by name
when he came closer Something OF his Old nervous
way remained with him; for he went for his gun
with old facility, and then bushed as he recolected
that he had gun.
MAN." he remarked, if your human, come out
AvA If you're ghost, stay right where you air!
l laughed and stood up, making the peace sign.
"Prithee gentle stranger" said he suavely,
"why this suddenness? | suppose this is all
right; but l wasn't expectin' you for another ten
years. You haven't got warrant for me, have
your"
We sat down together the wet ground, in the
waery sunshine of this most wet and watery of all
created places. l observed that Wilson wore no
hat, but that he disported sealskin waistcoat.
and was festooned as to his neck with garland of
yellow feathers, raiment singular the part of a
self respecting cowpuncher His boots likewise
were of seal leather and had no heels at all. None
the less with the retcence of the old days when
knew each other | showed no unseemly curiosity
neither was he at first in any hurry to explain:
"My grub wagon, such as it is said he after a
time, is over that-a way" He waved vague
hand toward Eagle Harbor settlement, where my
schooner had touched Government business.

Sullivan IS my solid supporter.
If it wasn't for him, I'd have
been out of politics long ago.
He seems to be white, and

sounds like it; but he
amt neither. He's yellow
brown, and Allyoot all through.
Sullivan was King when l came
here. l couldn't pronounce his
name; so l called him Sullivan
for short. I'm King now; and
Sullivan's the Secretary of
State, | reckon. But he don't
care; he's glad of it-and got
good reason to be, as near as

their stocks and bonds by the simple pro-
cess of doubling the paper and ink.
Then these men, who are all bankers
as we'll as railroad kings, will step over
to their bank Offices, and will issue bank
paper based on the railroad paper. This
bank paper will circulate as money.
The net result will be this The stocks
and bonds issued at the railroad office
may represent no honest investment of
money, but the people pay interest on it
in the shape of dividends.
The bank paper issued on this railroad
paper represents no honest investment of
money, but it will circulatesas money and
the people will have to pay interest when
they get the use of it.
To use bogus railroad securities as a
basis for bogus bank money, and to get
interest on both, is true purpose of the
angels who are favoring the Aldrich bill.
They will get what they want, and then
our system of finance will be truly per-
feet.
Panics are real nice things to have, and
with the vast addition to bogus stocks
and bonds which the A1drich bill is sure
to bring about together with its encour-
agement to speculation and over capitali-
zation-we are pretty certain to have a
panic every year Or SO.

Circumstantial evidence that Mr..
Hearst, late ally of Murphy and the Re
publicans, has reached an agreement with
Hartman, continues to crop out. He
is editorially clamoring for that ship sub
sldy which Hartman is SO eager to get
for his steamship lines.
Mr.. Hearst says that England subsi-
dies certain steamship lines and that,
therefore, the United States should follow
suit.
If we are to initiate Great Britain, why
not copy the best parts of her system in
stead of the worst? Great Britain runs
her government in such way that tt
necessaries of life are untaxed. She puts
a direct tax on the great land owners !;
she taxes the railroads she taxes incomes
and inheritances; she puts taxes on a few
luxuries such as foreign wines, brandies,
fruits, tea and coffee.
The poor man, in Great Britain, can
build his house, furnish it, clothe him
self, feed his family, and warm his hearth,
without having to pay one penny tax to
the government.
In this country, the poor man is taxed
on every rag of clothing, on ev-
cry article of furniture, on the mate
,ials with which he builds his house, on
the coal that makes his fire, on the tools
of his trade, and on almost everything
that he eats, including the salt.
In his recent wobbly now-you-see-it-
now-you-don't manifesto, Mr.. Hearst in
effect declares that we must not deal with
this Infamous system of taxing the poor
for the reason that it would disturb bus
mess. IL,
