ing have a right to so think. and also
to act in accordance with the thought.
And those who think differently have
no right to interfere with the others
in thinking and acting as suggested.
This does not, however, mean that
criticism as to the manner in which
the privileges are used should be shut
off, and so far as this paper is con-
cerned it will not be either shut off
or curtailed.
Dubois was once like Napoleon in
one respect-one only: He was a
man without model and without
shadow. Nobody else even remotely
resembled him. He was in a class by
himself. Let those who are disposed
to complain because of the hayward
ness of fortune, of the partiality of
providence in dealing with them think
of that and, if they cannot behold
positive benefits pertaining to their
lot in life, take great comfort in the
knowledge that there are some things
which it is blessing not to have and
this has been their lot in goodly meas
ure, as set out in the last preceding
sentence herein.
Even Dubois now has models and
shadows; he also, according to all
accounts, sometimes has other things
clustering around him which only
himself can settings of direful
shape, visage grim and frightful hue;
but no matter as to that-better men
have trod that path. He also has adj
mirers, some of whom are themselves
good men, having no other vice on
earth, so far as known; but God
knows, that is enough. Other ad-
mirers have also some of the Idaho
ans peculiarities, prominent among
them being a determined repugnance
to the practice of one man associat-
ing intimately with more than one
woman-if he is married to them;
another is steadfast hostility to the
church welding influence in POLITICAL
affairs except when it is welded for
the said admirers; and still another
is fixed opposi on to the Mormon
practice of taxing themselves for the
support of church institutions when
all their tax-paying ability and energy
should be directed to supporting
American party rule wherever the
same exists. There are other pecu-
liarities, but these will do for the
present.
AS general thing, and as it is I'M

Flowers Now
Replace Ashes

"There is no more reason why man
should grow grass and flowers in his
front yard, while he uses the back
yard for a dumping place for ashes,
tin cans and broken glass, than there
is that he should wash his face and
let the dirt accumulate behind his
ears
There is a sipshod hypocrisy which
inspires some people to do both. There
is a source of self-satisfaction in know
ing that the back yard (Which can't
be seen from the street Is as pleasing
to the eye as the front yard.
A Cleveland man who is quoted
above owns house. Five years
ago he let the house out to tenants.
They never carried anything unde-
sirable away from the premises. They
buried it in the back yard. The back
yard became a desert of ash heaps,
broken barrels and bottles, bones. bits
of crockery, old corsets, rusty wire,
scrap iron and other junk.
Five years age the owner moved his
family into the house. The sight of
the back yard panied him. The front
yard looked good.
He garfield away five wagonloads of
ashes and rubbish. Then he had ma
nure hauled on. He turned over the
soil, again and again. He planted
grass seed in a square which he edged
with a stone walk. On all four sides
of the square he planted flowers.
With pieces of gaspipe, ash rods and
wire netting he rigged up an arch at
the far end of the yard, and trained
VIM over it, morning sslorieJ, rambler
roses and clematis.

vancing upon him, sat on his launches
and nibbled away.
In another minute a muzzle covered
the funny long nose of young Mr.. Bear,
and much to his discomfort he was
obliged to stop eating cake. Then he
was led away, Lucy walking quietly
beside him, for she felt no fear of the
funny fellow who had come to bring
her assistance in the woods.
The rough men told Lucy that she
was half a mile distant from the pa
vilion and that she had taken the turn
which led from the zoo grounds into
the wild woods, right at the base OF
the hill where the bears were kept.
"And this fellow got out last night"
they told Lucy, "an' we've been hunt
ing him all this day. Oh, he's not a
pet by any means, but he don't seem
very hostile to you, young Miss"
That's because I'm not afraid of
him, and fed him some cakes" laughed
Lucy. Though, if I'd known he was
really and surely a bear I'd have run
and climbed a tree"
Lucy found Ned all right. He was
lettering round the pavilion, on the
watch for his strayed or stolen cousin,
and you should have seen his eyes stick
out when he heard of Lucy's expert
ence. Wen go to the bears caves
now, and I'll point him out to you-my
friend who rescued me in the woods, "
said Lucy. And straightaway she and
Ned went to see the bears, and there,
just being led into his pen, was the
young Bruno who had eaten cake from
Lucy's hand a little while before.
"Ah, the little girls brave uni" ex-
claimed one of the hears captors.
Sure, an If it hadn't been fer her
an her cakes-we'd had fine time
catchin' inn
"And IL 1t hadn't been for him I'd

said. "And / won't go a step farther
in this direction unless l see someone
who can direct me rightly. While
wait for a few minutes for someone to
turn up I'll have my lunch" So she
took a cake from the bag and began
eating it, but not with her usual relish
for such dainties. Indeed, so occupied
with her own serious dilemma was
little Lucy that she ate without tast-
ing, and after the first few bites We're
taken she was about to throw the cake
away and to return over the grass
grown path to the spot where she had
so suddenly come upon the wood. But
lust as she was planning to do this a
soft step was heard behind her, and
before she could turn round to see who
approached a warm nose thrust itself
over her shoulder and mouth opened
and bit at the cake. Then Lucy sprang
to her feet and saw q strange-looking,
long-haired little animal beside her.
still reaching its nose for the cake.
"What funny dog!" she exclaimed,
smiling and holding out the cake.
well, little old doggie, just eat of the
cake all that you wish, for I've got
plenty more in the bag. And I'll sit
down here and give you your fill.
You've certainly got a master some-
where near by who'll call to you pretty
soon. And then I'll go with you to
join him and he'll put me on the right
path to find the pavilion"
"Ah, there he isl" cried a mans
voice. "And-bless my eyes, am see
ing right ?-theres a child, feeding
him! Be cautious, there! Go round to
the right. Well, never seen the likes
of that before!"
In another minute half dozen men
had surrounded the spot where Lucy
sat on the bank feeding cake to the
animal Slowly they closed in on the
two-the child and her four-footed
companion. "Sit still, there, kiddie,
an keep feedin' that bar. He'll not
hurt you-seein that he's eatin' out
O. your hand" The speaker was one
of the burly men, and he was slowly
approaching the spot where Lucy sat
almost petrified at his words. "a bear

quickly. .'Oh! 1 thought he was a

under her breath. But maybe l was
looking at the people and did not notice
this spot. Anyway, I'll follow the open
path and 1t will surely lead me to the
right place."
For another five minutes Lucy fol-
lowed the plainest path of several dim
ones. But as the scene about her be-
came wilder and she met only an oc-
casional pedestrian, she felt more and
more anxious.

the path will take me to some place in
the grounds of the zoo, where I'll see a
policeman and I'll have him take me to
the refreshment pavilion"
Lucy trudged on again, her little wrist
bag dangling from her wrist and a
paper sack of sweet cakes under her
arm. Her auntie had given her the
bag of cakes, thinking that she might
become hungry while strolling about
the zoo.
Now Lucy was a very sensible little
girl, considering her tender years. And

that she was lost was to sit down an 3

SAN FRANCISCO, May 14.-The
cross-examination of eX-Supervisor and
ex-State Railroad Commissioner Wilson
occupied all the afternoon session of
the court in the Ruef trial and adjourn
ment was taken until tomorrow MORN
ing at 10 o'clock.
On direct examination Wilson said
that he had been at dinner at which
Schmitz, then mayor, presided and
spoke In favor of the project.
Wilson stated that he met Ruef sub
sequently at a Sunday caucus of the
supervisors and that the former boss
told him he wished the franchise held
up. According to Wilson, Ruef said
the Parkside people had not supported
the administration, and for that reason
the franchise should be held up. Will
son declared that was the reason he
failed to support the franchise The
witness further stated that James L.
Gallagher. at a caucus held in the office
of Schmitz when he was mayor. had
told him there would be $3.50 apiece for
the supervisors if they passed the fran
chise and later said there would be
$3.50 more for them when the route was
changed from Nineteenth avenue to
Twentieth avenue. An adjournment
was taken at noon for two years.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Vree-
land currency bill, agreed upon by the
Republican caucus, was today put
through the house under special rule
by a vote of 1874 to las. Fifteen So
called insurgents of the majority par
ty voted with the Democrats, who went
on record solidly against the measure.
The closing moments of the debate
were repiete with excitement and Re
publican enthusiasm, caused by the
refusal of the great majority of the
Democrats to go on record for the
Williams bill, which had been offered
by Mr.. Kahn of California as a substi-
tute for the Vreeland bill, in accord
anee with well laid plan of the ma
jority leaders to ascertain where the
Democrats stood on the proposition,
which, it was claimed by several, was
supported by Mr.. Bryan. Ninety-three
Democrats voted present. which
aroused the Republicans to high
state of hilarity at the expense of the
minority.
Only a handful of Democrats had
the temerity to vote AYE" or mo"
The action of Mr.. Kahn was due to
the refusal of Mr.. Williams to present
his bill as a substitute, which under
the rule he was specifically authorized
to do.
At $40 o'clock the house recessed
until tomorrow at 1880 a. m,
AS soon as the bill reaches the SEN
ate Mr.. Aldrich will call meeting of
the committee on finance to consider
it. 1t Is expected the committee will
vote unanimously to amend the house
measure by striking out all after the
enacting clause and inserting the pro-
visions of the bill which was passed
by the senate.
IT is not doubted that the senate will
approve the action of the committee.
The effect of this course would be to
send both the Vreeland and Aldrich
bills to conference.

SALT Lake, Utah, May 14.-Jacob
Schiff and Otto Kahn, two of the de-
PENDANTS in the so-called anti-merger
action brought by the government I'M
der the Sherman law against the Union
Pacific railroad and others, today filed
answer in the federal district court. All
the defendants have now answered ex-
cept the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern roads, and from these no
answer is expected
Schiff and Kahn admit many of the
facts recited in the complaint, but
deny the charges of conspiracy and
combination in restraint of competition
between the Union and Southern Pa
cifie, or any of the other lines engaged
in competitive traffic.
1t is asserted that all t transact
tions between Kuhn, Loeb e. Co., and
the Union Pacific or Oregon Short Line
were entered into by the members of
the firm as bankers. AS directors of
the Union Pacific, the defendants say,
they always acted for the best inter-
ests of the company and the stockhold-
ers. For the reason that they resigned
as directors in February, 1906, Schiff
and Kahn maintain that they should
not have been made defendants in this
suit
