Delegate Smith Talks.

A Washington paper quotes Dele gate Smith as follows:
 "Our republican friends in Arizona in their efforts to secure an instructed delegation to Chicago for Roosevelt, succeeded in having the national re- publican committee cut down by ter ritorial representation inetheir next convention to two delegates from each. That shows what folly can bring on the heads of unoffendlng peo pie, and shows further how little re- gard the grand old party pays to the hopes. aspirations and rights of the people in the territories. The demo- cratic national committee met here, and accorded each territory six dele gates to the national democratic con- vention, to be held in Denver, July z, next. l am pained to see the repub- lican party cut down it's territorial representation, for it weakens the ter ritories in the effort they will make to have single statehood plank put in the republican national platform. Six uninstI ucted delegates from each of our territories could have forced such promise, in a convention where the choice of-a candidate for president will be SO hotly contested.
 "Foraker has and deserves the af- lection of Arizona Cannon Is our enemy. Nobody knows where Hughes or Cortelyou stands on the statehood question and the national committee has taken two thirds of our strength out of the convention"

GIRL IN POND CLINGS

through which she had fallen, while
her body swayed in water rs feet deep,
in the private lake at the country
home of c. w. Barstow the other day.
She was rescued by rope thrown
from shore, rs feet away, after her re.
markable case seemed hopeless. Dur.
ing the time, which to her seemed in.
terminable, she followed infinitely the
instructions of J. P. Evers, who finally
pulled her ashore. She kept her senses
despite the excited shouts of men and
screams of women ashore.
Myrtle was returning from school
with Harold Lester, her neighbor and
little sweetheart. AS they passed the
lake, covered with ice, Myrtle could
not resist the temptation to demon
strate to her little friend how grace
fully she could glide over the smooth
surface. Laughingly, she slid out to
the center of the pond. Her weight
fell on the ice directly over deep
well, around which the lake was
created, the fresh waters of which had
partially melted through, and she went
down.
She called to her companion for
help, but he was dumbfounded. The
lake is close to the store Of Mr.. Evers,
who heard her cries and FASTENED to
the scene with two lengths of common
clothesline. When he saw her pre-.
dicament he told her to keep quiet
and not attempt to raise herself above
the water, fearing it would break

needed while her body was submerged.
Time after time Mr.. Evers tried to
throw her the life line, but the brisk
wind blew it aside.
In the meantime residents of the
neighborhood md other school chill
dreh gathered. After many unsuccess-
full attempts to get the rope to the lit
tie girl, and after some of the light
weights ventuered on the ice until it
cracked and threatened two lives, a
heavy stick was tied to the rope and
it was slid out to her.
But by this time the girl was too
weak to tie it about her body, and the
frantic crowd was about to give up
hope when she wrapped the line about
her arms, and, gripping it as best she
could with her benumbed fingers.

Slowly she was taken to shore,
where neighbors took charge of the
chilled child. She was taken to the

provided and Tustoratives admins

did not keep quiet,

the poor girl. trembling with terror.
Finally she decided to walk slowly
along the path, thinking that she
might induce the bear to follow her
home.
After going short distance she
came to pile of logs and brush,
which she soou discovered was Mig
per's lair. The bear now appeared
pleased. He walked about the place
shifting, and he finally came and laid
down at Maggie's feet.
During the whole of the long night
the bear laid and watched the terror
stricken girl. The slightest movement
attracted his attention and he would
raise his head and look at her. Miss

her, but the bear heard voices and
the barking of dogs and he got very

about the girl growing and crashing
his teeth.
Maggie fully realized her peril, and
when she saw her friends she called
to them, warning them not to come
nearer. She explained the situation
and her friends concluded to shoot

These were in effect Zuschlag's ar.
guments, and they proved forcible
enough to convert gradually the whole
kingdom to his views. A private bill
was brought in parliament, but shelved
for political reasons. When, however,
a new cabinet had come into Office the
home secretary brought in a measure
came into force on the first of last
July. 1t provides for the payment of a
premium of not less than halfpenny,
and not more than a penny, according
to the districts, for each rat handed
in, the money to be supplied by state
grant of Ell 400 per annum, and by
levy to be made by the local authori-
ties at the rate of three shillings per
annum for each hundred inhabitants.
1t is interesting to note that the
whole and sole administration of the
rat law is in the first clause of the
law given to Zuschlag and his Incor-
porated Society for the Systematic De-
struction of Rats, to give it it's full
title. 1t gives advice on all matters
appertaining to the law, and receives
from each local authority each quarter
report showing what funds have
been received and how they have been
expended.
From the reports to hand it is clear
that the rat law has, so far, been an
unqualified success. The premium
system has enlisted the services of the
poorer section of the people, as Zusch-
lag predicted that it would, and con-
