San Francisco, Aug. 15--The result Oh the =,

ont the state was the crushing defeat of the Lincoln
Roosevelt League. The league nominated dele

reelection, but both will be returned, and the
Legislature will be so strongly Republican that

The Doc.

The dog is mans most faithful
friend. A man may lie, but a dog
won't; a man may get drunk, a man
may SANDER his neighbor, a man may
embezzle and defraud, a man may
borrow money, a man may steal
money, a man may go into politics,
a mar may knife his best friend, a
man may run people down with an au-
tomobile, a man may gamble himself
to ruin, a man may waste his sub
stance in riotous living, a mar may
go to heaven-but a dog won't. Can
these things be truthfully spoken of
other friends man has about him ?
There is a strong affinity between man
and the dog; it must be the affinity of
contrast. Yet any man will resent be-
ing called a dog. Possibly the dog
would resent being called a man if he
UNDERSTOOD do not know. only
know that the maxim works but one
way; and if we would say; Man is
the dogs most faithful friend" there
would be many a cavil, saying that ii
was mighty rough on the dog.-Suc'

Show Men Like Apes,

Prehistoric paintings recently un-
earthed show man to have been like
an ape. The only known examples Of
paintings of men by prehistoric cave
decorators have been discovered lately
by Prof. Rene Leaunel in the Portel
grotto, a cave of Louhens, in Ariege,
France, where Noulet already had
found q%uaternary remains and human
bones. About 40 sketches in black
OF red, only one in both colors, adorn
the cave as f%rescoes, and two repre-
sent men of a primitive type, while
the others show bisons, boars and
horses. OF the human figures one has
a long head, with %retreating forehead,
while the other shows a remarkable
apelike pose, with rounded back and
arms pendent in front. There is a
cruoching boar, but the horses are
mostly galloping and poorly drawn, al
though the fo%requarters of a horse
are quite skillfully figured in black on
n of the darkest walls of the cavern.

POLITICALLY speaking, the most
disreputable and dishonorable
scheme to thwart the plain intent
of a just law, was that of the
Post Dispatch'S, a few days be-
fore election. 1t printed a ballot
headed, democratic Ticket"
with the name of every Demo-
cratic nominee, from Presidential
EIector down to the lowest Office,
scratched out, and the names of the
Republican nominees substitute
ed. This to enable Republicans
to vote for Folk for the nominal
ton for U. S. Senator. His name
alone was left as printed on this
spurious ticket, those of Stone and
Gebhardt being also stricken out.
l say that the scheme was as
damnable a bit of politics as
was ever formulated and ought
to have been Immediately dis
countenanced and denounced by
its intended beneficiary. But it
wasn't.

Reads Like a Fairy Tale.

An Atchison girl had always heard
Of the impoliteness of women in fail
ing to thank men for giving up a seat
in the street car, and decided that she
would be an exception. A man gave
her a seat Saturday night in a crowded
car, affording her the opportunity for
which she had been looking. "Oh,
thank you a thousand times" she said.
"It is just what l wanted, and how
did you ever guess it? 1t is so thought
full of you, and | do appreciate it so
much" Thea, as she sank into the
seat: And such a comfortable seat!
1t is the most comfortable seat | ever
sat in! Oh, thank you again so much!"

Sunday last being "Feast Sunday"
the vicar of Selston, Rev. c. Harrison,
hit upon the novel idea of preaching
from the church tower. The greater
part of the congregation seated them
selves on the highway.
The reverend gentleman took as his
text THE Builders and the Tower"
and, possessing a strong voice, his re-
marks were heard distinctly by the
large crowd of golfers and others gath
cred together, the weather being all
that could be desired.-London Even

The Wicked Way of Taxation.

Let a man buy a lot and improve
it by building a home, let men en-
ploy labor to make houses more
abundant and cheap, let men en-
ploy industry to add to the wealth
and prosperity Of the community,
and Jul system of imposing taxes
DEGREES that they shall pay a PEN
atty in proportion to the value of
the improvements they have made.
Let men, however, keep their lots
vacant and allow them to become
covered with weeds, and let them
refuse employment to labor to i'm
prove these lots, then we grant to
these men low taxation and place
a premium on stagnation. The
laborer turns the desert into a gar
den, and we increase his taxes for
doing SO; the land Spectator
turns the garden into a desert and
we diminish his taxes. The bet
ter a man does for his city the
worse his city does for him. Our
system of taxation places a pre-
MUM on barrenness and a penalty
on beauty. w have here in
Mount Vernon many acres of o
called farm lands and thousands
of vacant lots that escape just tax
alton and lie dormant as far as USE
fulness is concerned, while they
increase in value because of the
improvements made about them
by those who must pay a penalty
for their public spirit and progress
siveness. We are not preaching
a single land tax. But we are urg-
ing that so-called farm lands and
vacant lots be compelled to bear a
a fair proportion Of taxation, and
