Andrew Jackson, the Democratic
idol. A president must keep in
touch with his party or become
doless. Remember how Andrew
johnson Jared. But a wise pres
ident can do a good deal to guide
his party.
Is Col. Bryan better than his
party? We never heard him ac-
cused on that score. We have
heard Democrats berate him.
We know that in 1896 and 1900
many Democrats helped to de-
feat him. They must have re-
garded him as worse than his
party, so much so that they re-
pudiated him.
William Hearst thinks Bryan
no better than the Democratic
party, and that both are very
bad. One thing is plain, and
that is, the Democratic party and
its candidate are much alike in
one thing, changeableness. There
is no telling where to find either
six months ahead. Col. Bryan
has a new paramount issue for
every campaign. When a man
processes to believe so much
most likely he believes nothing
very seriously. He puts on his
political creed to play his part
like an actor; and then doffs II
for some other part.

Land and Mineral Decisions.
Reported by woodford D. Harlan, Land Attor-
ney, Washington, ID. G.

Residence. Occupation through a
tenant is not the maintenance or
establishment of residence requisite
under the public land law.
Settlement-Thefa failure of settler
to assert his right within the statut-
DRY period, and consequent loss of
priority as against an intervening
entry, does not preclude the assertion
Of his right as against subsequent
entryman, where said settler remains
on the land and the intervening entry
is cancelled.
Relinquishment.-A REIMBURSEMENT
when filed operates instantly to re-
lease the land from the entry.
Practice. Papers presented for fl
ing, but refused by the local office on
account of press of business, should
be held as fled of the date when pre-
sented.
Mining Claim. The right to pur-
chase mineral land is restricted to
citizens of the United States, or those
who have declared their intention to
become such.
Mineral Land. The mineral value
of vein is not established by an
ordinary essay certificate.
Coal Landau entry of coal land
attacked by subsequent homestead
claimant, may be Cancelled as to the
legal subdivisions that are not vaiu-
able for coal.

A Pernauerinn rraueler.

4 commercial traveller who is noted
for his perseverance once called on a
merchant and sent in his card. re-
questing an interview, says n western
paper Happening to glance into the
Office he saw the recipient tear up his
card and throw it into the waste paper
basket. The Office boy returned with
the old story that "NIr r. was sorry,
but he could not see him"
The traveller nothing daunted, re-
quested that Mr. b. should return his
card, which of course he had seen de-
stroyed. In a minute the boy returned
and handed him tWopence and re-
marked that Mr.. b. had destroyed the
card and thought that this sum would
cover the damage.
The traveller succeeded in getting an
other card into Mr. BIS sanctum, and
Mr., b. read on it, "These cards are two
for threepence."
lie got his interview, and Mr.. b. be-
came one of his best customers.-Lon-

Flour Tests.

Since more bread Is eaten In the
course of a lifetime than any other one
article Of food, it behooves us to have
II of the best possible quality. Even
In this era of strict pure food laws
-four will be adulterated, SO 1t is up to
IIs to be able to test Its purity for our
selves. The chief ingredients that are
mixed in flour are whiting and alum,
both Of which can be discovered by
simple tests. To discover alum in
-four 1t is only necessary to remember
that it coagulates with milk. Soak
piece Of bread in water until 1t Is en-
tirely dissolved then put 1t on to boil
with an equal quantity of milk. II
there is any alum lurking around great
clots will be formed. Even simpler Is
the test for whiting. Molsten the
thumb and first finger with a little
olive oil and rub between them a good
sized pinch of -four. If it turns brown,
but does not get sticky, its purity is
pretty certain. Writings presence
will be shown by sticky, pasty feel
Ing and no discoloration.

A Story From India.

An Indian merchant wished to dis
pose of an old elephant and took 1t to
a fair. AS soon as he had arrived he
noticed Il man who, without saying a
word began to walk round the animal,
examining it attentlvely on all sides.
The merchant became very anxious,
for he feared the man had found out
that his elephant was not worth much.
He took him aside and whispered in
his ear: 81 see q customer coming.
Do not say word until I have sold
the beast, and l will give you so
rupees" The man looked at the mer-
chant and wonderingly complied with
his request. 1t happened that the
customer had more money than sense,
so he was easily taken in. When the
bargain was completed and the ele-
plant led away by its new owner, the
merchant handed the 80 rupees to
the silent man, saying: "Now 1 want
YOU to tell me how you discovered the
defect in his left leg. l thought had
concealed it so skillfully." 81 have dis
covered nothing replied the stranger.
at is the first elephant I have ever
seen, and l wanted to know which
was the head and which was the tail"

"My friends, are you aware with
what vile compounds you insult your
stomachs?" said an eloquent preacher
in a mining town recently. After a
short pause he continued: 1.-THE stuff

is not honest whisky, but a mixture Of
alcohol and water colored and favored
with fusel oil and chemicals. You can
go to any drug store and for so cents

AS he reached this climax a great
burly man jumped up and, waving
Eve dollar bill high in his hand, ex-
claimed in stentorian tones:

Anthropologists have remarked that
taking aim is human Characteristic
that even the anthropoid apes cannot
be said to share. Apes and monkeys
frequently throw nuts and sticks,
sometimes with unpleasant conse-
quences to others, but they show little
or no ability to take accurate aim. The
balloon is said to excel somewhat in
this respect, but still it would never
pass for a marksman. Accuracy Of
eye and the judgment of direction and
distance that are involved in real aim
ing have been developed only by man
and ere among the tokens of his in
tellectual superiority Louis Re

Poisonous Water.

Water that has once been heated, or
that has stood any length of time in
the kettle, cannot be made to boil as
quickly as freshly drawn cold water
If this fact we're fully appreciated, it
would have more weight with house
keepers as an argument against using
water that has stood over night than
numerous homilies on the unhealth-
fulness of stale water. Fresh water
is living, and water that has been
boiled, or allowed to stand long alb
sorbing gases and heat, is either dead
or poisoned, so it is easier ito hOil
fresh water than stale or dead water.
For drinking purposes, water should
be boiled, bottled Immediately and
fastened tight. When cool, Clay the
bottles on the ice. 1t will he found
superior to ice water on all occasions.
In connection with the subject Of
water, there is one peculiar property
of that liquid with which every one
should be made acquainted, and that
is, its capacity for absorbing impuri-
ties, which it increases proportionate-
ly the colder it gets. Hence, water
that has stood in an insufficientIy
ventilated sleeping chamber all night
is not only unpleasant, but is injuri-
GUS to drink, since it readily absorbs
the poisonous gases given off by res
piration and the action of the skin
An ordinary pitcher Of water, under
such conditions, at temperature of
GO degrees, VIII be found tn have
absorbed during the night from a
pint to pint and half of carbonic
acid gas, and an increase Of ammonia.
Ice water is an Objectionable drink at
all times, but if it is INDUCED in, the
vessel containing it should never be
left uncovered in sleeping or sitting
rooms, because at freezing point its
capacity for absorbing these deleteri-
GUS substances is nearly doubled. -

Gently and agreed to support the
Hayes bill, or at least the principles
in general which it advocates. They
listened TO various speakers, aud
then agreed to give all the assistance

lied Messrs Kahn, Hayes and Nc
kinlay to appear for them before the

we'll prepared with facts, figures, and
arguments to sustain his position in

1t attracted wide attention and was
in great demand by those who we're
desIrous of Informing themselves on

come an authority on this subject,
and has just returned from Michigan
where he went ON special invitation
to deliver three addresses on the sub

signed to remedy a defect III the
existing law, has been introduced by
congressman b. A. Hayes, whose dis.
trict includes part of San Francisco,
San Jose, and other cities where the
naturalization laws are of Importance.
1t provides that in naturalization
cases either party--the government or
the individual, can take an appeal to
the circuit court of appeals, but on
questions of law only. This bill
will probably become law as the
need of something of the kind has
been manifest to lawyers tor some
time. The bill was referred to the
committee on immigration and
naturalization.
Congressman Englebright was one
of the first to recognize the need of

bill for its creation, but half
dozen other congressman introduced
similar bills almost immed lately and
now they are being considered in

amalgamation and digestion they will
probably be evolved into a composite

some measure of the kind receiving

ASSERTS THAT HE OWNS
VALUABLE REAL ESTATE
Stranger Appears In Santa Ana and
Submits Claim to Local Attor-
ney, but ls Thought to
Be Crazy

Special to The Herald.
SANTA ANA, May 29.-A well
dressed stranger, giving the name of
Jonathan Henry Phippen, who says he
formerly resided at Colorado Springs
and has since lived in various places
in this state, called upon Attorney
Clyde Bishop today with the request
that the latter take up the work of
making good his title to certain real
estate In this and San Diego counties.
Phippen claims to be the real owner
of a considerable portion of the big
Santa Margarita ranch and also of
several thousand acres in San Diego
county, and produced mass of docu-
mentary evidence to substantiate his
claim.
Attorney Bishop, however. was not
impressed by the story, and after more
or less close examination of the papers
submitted to him decided that the man
was demented and dismissed him with
the promise that his case would re-
ceive attention later. The man has
money to pay his way and seems much
in earnest In his protestations, and the
police are inclined to believe he has
escaped from some asylum or SANTA
rum. They will keep him under sur
veillance.
