Entered at the post Office at Ely. Mime
sofa as second class matter.

In the news columns will be
found an item of considerable inn
portance to this section. The
movement to deport undesirable
citizens should meet with popular
favor, and Inspector Dean will have
the earnest cooperation of the
best citizens of the range towns.
Socialism as practiced in the range
towns by the foreign subjects is
anarchism, pure and unadulterated,
and the sooner some of the red-lag
spouters are put out of the way
the better it will be for America
and American institutions. The
Petriellas, Kolus, and a few "presi-
dents" and secretaries" who never
work only the worker, can be dis
pensed with without seriously at
fecting the commercial activity
Of the nation, and the laboring man
would be money and peace Of mind
ahead should these parasites be
dropped into the sea. Some OF the
foreign countries will be tickled to
death to have these subieats re-
turned, and no doubt warm vel
come awaits them. The clique is
getting quite busy secretly in the
range towns and midnight meet
ings by the push are being held.
How long would an American last
in Russia, Austria or Italy it he
acted as these fellows do here?
There would be gendarme, a call
on the boss, a whack with an axe
or shot or two and all would be
over. Here we spend thousands of
the taxpayers money to defend the
most violent redfag adherent.
What's the use? A man who has
been forced by the police to steal
away from the old country makes
a poor citizen and should be kept
on the move. A socialist in the
old country is an anarchist here,
and nothing more.

canny! Close by I hear sighs and groans!"
 The Caliph stood still. Very plainly he heard low whimpering that seem ed far more human than animal. Eag- erly he started in the direction of the sounds. The Vizier seized him by the wing with his beak and implored him not to venture into new and unknown perils. It was vain. The Caliph who had a dauntless heart even under his stork plumage. tore himself away with the loss of few feathers and hurried down a black passage.
 He reached a door which was ajar. Within were the sounds of bitter groans intermingled with curious walls almost like howls. He pushed the door open with his beak and stopped on the | threshold in amazement. On the fioor of the tumble-down chamber. which was lit only din1ly by an on-barred | loophole. he saw a great owl. Big tears rolled out of the large, round eyes, and from the hooked beak came hoarse laments.
 Scarcely did the bird see the caliph and his Vizier ~who had come up be- hind. when shrill acclamations of joy burst from the ugly creature. It wiped the tears from its eyes with a dainty movement of its brown speckled wings and amazed them by crying in good | Arabic: Welcome, oh storksl You are a good sign for me, promising me ! deliverance; for it has been prophe- sled that a great good fortune shall come to me through storks"
 As soon as the Caliph had recovered from his astonishment. he bent his long neck graciously, set his thin legs into ! an elegant position and said owl To judge by your words, may assume that I see in you a companion in mis- fortune. But. alas. Your hope that deliverance may come through us is in vain. You will recognize our helpless ness better when you know our story
 The owl begged him to relate it. and the Caliph told the sad history of the mis-adventure of his Vizier and him self.
 The owl thanked him and said: Hear my story and learn that I am not less unh appy than you. My father Is the King of India. I, miserable one, am his only daughter, Lusa. That sor- serer, Kaschnur. who enchanted you has also made me thus wretched. He | appeared before my father one day and asked for my hand in marriage to his son Mizra. My father had him thrown out of the palace. The wicked one succeeded in approaching me in disguise. One day as I was taking re- freshment in the garden he appeared as a slave and gave \ne a drink that transformed me into this hideous shape I fainted with fear, and recovered in this place to hear his fearful voice in my ear, saying: Here shall you re- main, abhorrently ugly. detested even by animals, until the end of your days or until some one shall ask you volun- tarily. despite your disgusting shape to be his wife. Thus do I revenge my self on your proud father and your self
 Since then many months have pass ed. Lonely and despairing, I live amid these walls, loathed by the world, a terror even to beasts. The. beautiful world is shut to me, for I am blind ir the daytime. and only when the moor pours her pale light over these ruinl does the obscurinR veil drop from m. eyes"

important clapperings had always in terested him.
 When they arrived there, they saw a stork pacing up and down graVely, peering about for frogs and clappering something gravely to himself at inter vals. High in the air was another stork soaring slowly downward toward him.

 Well spoken!" said the Caliph. But first let us consider how me may be- come human again-Correct! Three say "Mutabor. and I shall be Caliph again and you Vizier. But for Heavens sake no laughter, or we are lost"

 You have a pretty beak, Mir Grand Vizier." said the CaIiph, after sur prised silence By the beard of the Prophet. have never seen anything like this in all my life!"
 "I thank you most devotedly," replied the Grand Vizier. trying to bow. but If I may venture to say 1t, Your Glori- ousness looks almost handsomer as a stork than as Calipm But if 1t please you let us go to listen to our com rades wonder and find out if we really can speak good storkish."
 The storks were polishing their feet with their beaks settling their feathers neatly and had begun to speak.

 At that moment the Grand Vizier was | startled by the recollection that l laughter was fatal during the trans | formation. In great alarm he remind | ed the Caliph of it. By Mecca and

 Three times must we bow towards the cast and say: Mu- Mu-- Mu-, said the Grand Vizier
 They turned towards the cast and bowed again and again, so that their beaks almost touched the ground. But. oh misery! The Word of Power had vanished Desperately as the Caliph might bow. longingly as his Vizier might cry. 'Mu- Mu-." the unhappy Caliph Chasid and his poor Vizier Man sor were and remained storks.
 Mournfully the two enchanted digni- taries wandered through the fields. They were so wretched that they did not know what to do. They could not get out of their stork skins. They clare themselves, for who would be- lieve a stork if he claimed that he was a Caliph? And even if 1t were believed would the people of Bagdad accept a stork as their ruler?
 They sulked about for many days living miserably on the fuits of the fields which they could not eat very easily with their long beaks. They could not cultivate an appetite for liz ards and frogs. and they reared, also that these delicacies might ruin their digestions. Their only comfort was that they could fly, and they winged their way often to the roofs of Ba g. dad to see what was going on there During the first few days they ob- served great excitement and greif throughout the city But on the fourth day they looked down from the roof oi the palace to see a splendid array Drums thundered and flies screamed | A man in a gold -emb mbroidered scarlet cloak appeared on gorgeously deck ed horse surrounded by a glitterinE train
 Half of Bagdad thronged about then and everywhere resounded the cry Hail Mizra. the Ruler of Bagdad"
 The two storks looked at each other and Caliph Chasid said. Do you divine now why I am enchanted? Grand vi. zier, this Mizra is the son of the mighty sorcerer Kaschnur, my deadl, enemy who swore vengeance on me ir a fatal hour. But l will not give uI hope Come with me. faithful com. panion in misery. We will go to tb, tomb of the Prophet. Perhaps the en. chantment will be dissolved at the sa | cred shrine"

"rhe Story of Caliph Stork" is one of the many gems of Hauff's story The Caravan" This collection of tales stands unequaled in it's class, and in one form or another the inventions of this young German have entered into the literature of almost all countries sometimes as translatious and more frequently in the form of adaptations.
 Hauff died too soon to achieve the great fame that undoubtedly was al- most within his reach. Although he was only 25 when he passed from the world. he has left behind such marvel ously good literature that it seems quite incredible that he should have been able to write 1t all in less than three years; yet this short time is all that he gave to literary work.
