When the horse cars were in exist
ence there was a greenhorn known as
John who conducted OF the Thirteenth
and Fifteenth street lines. He boarded
with his two aunts, who lived on Cath
arine street, between Thirteenth and
Broad: One day his aunts thought they
would take a ride with John and see
how he was getting along, so they
waited for his Mr. Soon The car began
to get crowded and passengers got of
and on at every square. John began to
get angry. At last he became SO exas-
perated at having to stop 30 often that
when an old lady asked him to stop at

A DRAGON HUNT.
II. Took Place In Turkey and Wss :
Great Success.

Il Took Place In Turkey and Wss =
Great Success.
Eyes, I wunst hunted dragons, and
the hunt was successful, too" said a
sailor.
ut was in Eyoub, the native quarter
Of old Constantinople. I lived there
with my wife, a Circassian gal, Fat
nah by name, and, comm, home from
the calf one night
"Calf"
Sure! Calf. Don't you know what
a calf is? Kind of restaurant where
you eat and drink and smoke. But
where was II"
"You were coming home."
"Well, as we come home from the
calf Fatmah grabbed my arm, pointed
to the moon and give a loud yell. The
full moon behind the domes and min
arets was goin' into an eclipse. I
laughed, but Fatmah says:
GA dragon, o my beloved she a
is tryin' to devour the moon!' she
says. If the faithful Stay it not, there
will be no more moonlight says she
'never!v
'Then, by tar, begun the biggest
racket l ever hear. All Eyoub was on
q dragon hunt. From every housetop
the faithful fired blunderbusses at the
moon in the hope Of KILN the dragon.
"When we got home l tried to ex-
plain to Fatmah what an eclipse was,
but she thought l vas laughin' at her.
So I. gave I'm nv explanations. and.
with a pistol, each Of u Joined in the
hunt. bangin' away at the dragon from
the winder turn and turn about.
"By crinus, we got him! The hunt
was a success! The dead. dragon
dropped off the moon, and she hoated,

the palms and minarets standin' black
agin the pale sky.

what landed him, but I was always

to Mckenzie he did not lose il
the senatorial fight for he had two
candidates, G.. B. Little and NJ. N,
johnson. Little fell by the way
side but johnson landed a suM-
Gent number Of votes to put him
on the ballot with Thomas r,
Marshall, who received the high
vote.
1t has been pretty well under
stood in North Dakota that
Mckenzie backed johnson in the
recent primary election wherever
it appeared that Little would not
be acceptable but he has made no
public statements concerning the
alliance with the Petersburg man
until the one quoted above. Dur
ing the campaign recently closed
it was apparent in many sections
of the state that Little and johnson
were the choice of Mckenzie.
Orders were issued: Support
johnson where Little will not CO.
These orders were given to railroad
men. harvester agents and many
others.
johnson managers are counting
a good deal on the support of Nc
Kenzie in the senatorial fight. On
the strength Of McKenzie's back
ing some Of the stalwarts here,
who always have followed his lead,
have been offering to wager. large
sums on the result"
When the TIME comes no one,
need be in doubt as to the position
Of the Leader on all public men
and public measures, which is in
striking contrast with the Garrison
Independent that takes a stand
only after the Doodle agent has
been around to give it light.

THE TREATY TREE.
Where Penn and the Delaware Chiefs
Exchanged Tokens.

(! Where Penn and the Delaware Chiefs
Exchanged Tokens.
The treaty tree" the original Ameri-
can Hague, where our first peace con-
gress was held, with William Penn on
the one side and the Delaware chiefs
on the other, was a mighty elm that
stood at Shackamaxon, on the banks of
of the suburbs of Philadelphia, now
surrounds the spot.
AS was customary on such occasions,
the parties to the treaty exchanged
belts of wampum, and the belt said to
to have been given Penn or this occa-
sion is now in the collection of the
Pennsylvania Historical society. 1t
consists of eighteen strings Of black
! and white beads. and in the center are
two figures, representing a European
and an Indian, with hands Joined in
friendship. In exchanging tokens with
the chiefs Penn said:
"The friendship between you and
me l will not compare to a chain, for
that might rust, Or the falling tree
might break. We are the same as If
one mans body were to be divided into
two parts. We are all one flesh and
blood" When the Indians handed
Penn the wampum belt Of peace they
said:
we will live in love and peace with
William Penn as long as the sun and
the moon shall endure"
The treaty tree was blown down in
a windstorm March 10, 1910. Its age,
estimated by rings, is 2s3 years. The
William Penn society erected a marble
column upon the site as a permanent
Observation-Disclosures City Star.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF MCLEAN COUNT,
AND vILLAGEOF WASHBURN
FRIDAY. JULY "a, 1908,
The Leader Misquoted.

The Leader MiSquOted.
Consistent with its record fo5
misinformation the last issue Of
the Garrison Independent contains
the following:
1.-The Washburn Leader in the
last issue pounces onto M. n
Johnson in their usual dirty man.
ner and accuses him of being the
Stalwart candidate for U. S. sena-
tor, backed by Alex Mckenzie
We had hoped that we had heard
the words "Stalwart'' and ''Insur-
gent" for the last time for two
years, at least, but not so with the
Washburn Leader - as long as
there is'a chance to create dissen.
sion factionalism in the Republican
party, they apparently will boost
it along,
This is the very first mud we
have seen thrown at Hon. M. n.
johnson and it seems that this is
a pretty weak method Of campaign
ing, but it is the Leaders old
system, instead Of giving their
favorite candidate a. little clean
support, to Immediately commence
to throw mud and make dirty
attacks On his opponent. And at
present any candidate who does
not favor bossism in this county
belongs to the Mckenzie Gang,
according to the Leader. W.
have been hearing this for the
last three months, and had hoped
for a rest"
Readers Of the Washburn Lead.
er, who are not acquainted with
the circumstances of the ex-Ne-
braska democrat who wallows
around in the columns Of the
Garrison Independent, will be
somewhat mystitied when they
read this accusation because the
Leader has not 'pounced onto M.
N. Johnson" as the Independent
charges.
We simply copied a news item,
taken from the Minneapolis Jour
nal, that was being published all
over the state. We have said
nothing about Mr.. johnson in the
editorial columns of the Leader
have not pounced onto him at all.
The Leader is not in the. mud
throwing business. 1t leaves the
monopoly Of indecent journalism
and jingoism to the Garrison
Independendent, whose editor an
nounced in its first issue that his
paper might be something else
than republican, although the edi-
tor had been a republican once,
'in days gone by" which was a
saving clause because editor Nine
han may have in mind his old idol
Bryan and Organism.
One thing about this misquoting
Of the Washburn Leader has been
demonstrated very forcibly and
that is that Minehan reads the
Leader religiously but does not
read the news columns Of other
papers, else he would not have
credited the Leader with the au-
thorship Of the following article
which was not original with the
Leader, but simply copiedin these
columns as a news item:
IN. N. johnson is my candidate
for the United States senate de-
clared Alex Mckenzie to several
people from the northwest who
visited st. Paul this week. This
statement was made voluntarily by
who discussed North
Dakota politics freely. According
