Wolfe City Sun: The editor OF
the Petty Enterprise is badly worried
over theological problems. He says:
Christ said all interest is usury, yet
there isn't a saint or sinner in La
mar county who wouldn't loan dol.
lar at 20 per cent IL he could get II.
Christ demands that we love our
neighbor as ourselves yet there isn't
saint or sinner in Lamar county
who does 1t. Christ lifted up the
fallen woman, told her to so and sin
no more, and scathIngly rebuked the
Pharisees who would have stoned
her, aud yet every day we stone
Magdalenes and pat their betrayers
on the back. The man or woman
who violates one command of God is
guilty Of the whole. Who is going
to heaven, anyhow"

him. The tax assessor and tax collec.
tor gave him a wide berth; the man
who owned the land which he had pre-
empted made no attempt to eject him.
He never came down off the mountain
and neither white man nor Kanaka
cared to go up to see him.
His body was stumbled on by
stranger who had gone up the noun
tain without knowing that danger was
popularity supposed to wait at the top
for all intruders. When this stranger
reported his find several men from the
nearest plantation went up to the wild
Chinaman's hut.
The body could not be removed, 80
pile of wood was beaped about it and
it was burned where 1t lay, with the
hut which had for 80 years been the
lonely hermitage Of All Chow. The
strange man must have known the ap-
proach of death and deliberately laid
himself down in his coffin to die alone.
The Investigators looked about and
discovered how It was that the Wild
man had lived high up the mountain,
alone with birds. By what must have
been tremendous and long continued
effort All Chow had cleared about two
acres Of the tropical jungles back Of
his hut on the mountain shelf and had
there planted plineapples, peanuts,
mangoes and potatoes.
He had even set out a few orange
and lemon trees, probably from cut
tings stolen at nights from the planta
ton homes below him. The old man
had kept no animals; all the bitter
work Of grubbing the jungle from his
place he had done with his own hands
Besides the vegetables that had
sustained old All Chow the hermit had
not lacked for flesh, as bird snares
and nets found in his hut and set
about among the nearby trees showed
He had even fashioned out of bamboo
a sort of sampitan, or blowgun, such
as is used by the natives Of the Dutch
East Indies, which will propel a dart
several hundred feet.
Like another Robinson Crusoe, Alb
Chow had lived on his dizzy shelf OF
rock high above and even within sight
of the civilization that spread out
below him in plantation and village

San Francisco.-People who have

It matter Of moment that the wild
Chinaman of the Papaikoumanka Is
dead. Like many worthy folk, All
Chow did not have his name printed
much in the newspapers until after he
died, but that was the fault of the
papers and not OF All Chow.
They say down in Hilo that All Chow
came TO the islands 30 years ago as q
contract laborer on a sugar plantation.
He evidently did not like being q con-
tract laborer, for he ned from the plan

him back was given up.
Eighteen years ago the report spread
about the country thereabouts that the
lonely Chinaman was a leper and
posse was sent up the mountain TO
bring him back into town for transpor-
tation TO Molokai, the Hawaiian leper
colony. All Chow fought the posse
with powders until they gained q foot
hold In his narrow shelf of the noun
tain, and then charged the timorous
Kanakas with a spear fashioned of
hard wood and with the point har-
dened IN the fire.
He was captured finally and exam
ined- 1t was found that the wild Chi
naman did not have leprosy and he
was allowed to go back to his aerie on
the mountain.
From that day until the Chinaman's
body was found a month ago. lying in

say so, from the tone of his eonveTsa-
ton it was easy to see that he would
like to see William Jennings Bryan
declare himself on the two points:
viz, his excuse for his third defeat ana
his position in the future as regards
his leadership of the party. II
Bryan, in the face of his third defeat,
is TO attempt to hold himself in the
position of the dictator Of the party
and of its policies. then John A. John

he says, he will find plenty to engage

WILL JOHNSON LEAD THE
DEMOCRATS NEXT TINE?

ST. PAUL, MINI, Nov. 16.-John a.
Johnson, plain Democrat three times
elected governor in Republican Min
nesota, has some very decided views
on the future of tae Democratic party
nationally and upon the cssuses that
resulted in such rout for The nation
al ticket in the presidential campaign
of 1908.
Many attempts have been maae
since the ballots were counted the
country over a little more than a
week ago, to get an expression of
opinion from johnson. 1t has been
pointtd out to him that in many quar-
ters he is looked upon as the Moses
who will be called upon to lead the
party out Of the wilderness of defeaL
and dependency in which it now
finds itself; he is looked upon by
many as the logical leader of the
party in view of Bryan's everwhelm-
ing defeat and that he owes it to HIM
self and to the party to speak now.
But to all Of these importunit es, Gov
ernor Johnson has but one answer, 1T
is too soon."
1T would Ill become me TO speak
at this time" said the governor to-
day. The storm has not yet clear

WILL GET new
TUNGSTEN jNG Ian LAMPS
FROM THURSDAYS DAILY.

Superintendent G. H. Burr has
ordered supply of new tungsten
electric lamps, which are expect
ed to arrive in few days. Tung-
stem is the mineral of which the
6lament is composed, and it is
claimed that this lamp is greatly
superior to the kind with carbon
filament, such as those now in use
here. The tungsten lamp will, it
Is said give three times as much
light from the same amount of
current as the old style lamps, will
last longer and will hold up their
efficiency until they burn out, in
stead of making reddish light to-
ward the end of their life. They
will mean a great saving to the
consumer using meter and will
give better service for the money
to the consumer on a flat rate.
The only disadvantage is the price
of the new lamps, which cost four
or FIVE times as much as the car
bon lamps.
