While the Record has not endorsed
many of the policies advocated by
Gov. Broward. it believes tnat some
of the papers of the state are too yiru-
lent and bitter in their continued at
tacks upon him. While the governor
viii not retire from Office a very pop
ular chief executive, it can be said OF
him that he is an honest man, and
has not grown rich from holding office
as is charged up against a former

nothing can be said against Broward.
He has many noble qualities, and has
unquestionably been on the moral
side of all questions affecting the

The Earliest Money.

The earliest money was probably
shells or strips Of bark. Skins ap-
pear very early as medium OF e1,
change. Later on sheep, oxen and
other sort of cattle were used as the
measure of value. With the advent
of agriculture the products OF the
farm were sometimes made to be
value units. So late as the early
colonial times in Virginia tobacco
was used as currency. Eventually
the metals iron, silver and gold be-
came the almost universally recog-
nized money of civilized and semi
civilized peoples, iron taking the
lead in point of time.-New York

A NEW YORK FUNERAL.
Death and Burial Of Man. of Whom
No One Knew Muln.

"Dying made easy is Il good mot
to for New York." said business
man to his friend who is visitor
from the middle west. "The other
night when | got home saw an
undertaker's wagon standing at the
entrance. Cheerful sort of thing
to see after you have been out to
the play and a supper with your
friends.
"On the way up to my fiat | came
across the undertaker's men carry
ing upstairs the body of man. The
undertaken explained that the
corpse was that of an elderly man
who had died that night at hos
pital and who had lived with the
people in the apartment below
mine. His friends had employed
the undertaken to take charge Of
the body and arrange for the burial.
"The next day as l was going out
I met the undertaken. I thought it
was the decent thing for me to
show respect for the dead, particu-
larly in view of the statement Of
the undertaken that the dead man
had no friends in the city. The
people with whom he lived were
acoua;ntances only.

room. Only a few persons were
present. The undertaken took a
prayer book from his pocket and
read tie Episcopal burial service.

"'The day before he died he sent

at the apartment where he had
lived. That was all right.

Rendina the Sky.

Sometimes a child in the very

imagery that is language old. For
instance, there are few of US unfa-

lightnings rend the sky" but its
use in the mouth of q child would
be startling.

only four years old, watched an elec-

Tho Cannon Ball Tree.

Of the most curious is the cannon
ball tree. 1t grows to the height
of sixty feet, and its flowers are re-
markable not only for their beauty,
but also for their fragrance. It's
blossoms are of a beautiful crimson,
appearing in large punches and e1-
haling q rich perfume. The fruit
resembles enormous cannon balls; !;
hence the name. However, some
say it has been SO called because of
the noise which the balls make in
bursting. From the shells domestic
utensils are made, and from the
contents are obtained several kinds
of acids, sugar and gum as well as
the materials for making an excel
lent drink IN sickness.

AFTER THE BALL.
CaIifornia'5 First Clearing House Was
Net Financial One.

The meaning OF the term "clear-
ing house" may not perhaps be IA
miliar to all people outside of bank
inc and commercial circles. An IT,
cident which occurred during our
civil var may give clear though
homclv idea Of what clearing
house is.
The occasion was in 1854. when
the citizens of San Francisco gave
the famous Russian bail to the o.
ficers of the Russian feet OF war
s-hips in San Franciscos harbor,
Mich had been sent to the federal
vernment by the emperor OF Rus
/ to the assistance of the northern
atcs in that war.
That ball was the most brilliant
fair OF its kind that has ever taken
ace in California. 1t was attend
BY the governor and all the state
! municipal officers, the members
the supreme and superior courts
i the foreign consulS and the oiii-
.ers of the army and navy within
reach OF San Francisco, besides
many of tie old and wealthy Span
ish families from southern Callfor-
MIA. all handsomely dressed and re-
splendent in diamond ornaments.
The large hall was splendidly dec
grated with Russian and American
flags intwincd. The flags OF the for
eign consuls and lines of cages OF
singing canary birds were hung
around the gallery. A military
band and string band supplied the
music. On the stage of the hall
we're stacks of arms and accouter-
ments of war. while the rich dresses
of the ladies and the uniforms OF
the officers of the navy and army.
together with the grand official re-
gala of the foreign consuls, made
it scene of splendor and wonder
and delight to the Russian sailors.
After the supper. which was serv-
ed in keeping with the rest OF the
ball, the Russian officers, the con-
lis and many of the guests Of hon
retired, but "the dance went on
Soon afterward it was seen that the
walters in the hat room had become
confused in their deliveries, and
gentlemen, finding their hat checks
useless, were obliged to 60 inside
and search for themselves, which
resulted in soon covering the floor
with articles of clothing, from which
each man took that which fitted
him best and went home.
The following day a notice ap-
peared in the newspapers inviting
all persons who had lost their over
coats or hats and had taken Others
instead to return them to a place
designated in the notice and receive
their own. The result of this move
was a success, for every man who
had lost his own and had brought
the article he had taken re 'overed

ty commissioners: First district, Chas.

Chelan: county coroner, Dr.. Blake.
For joint senator Mr.. Gum was
named and a committee appointed TO
wait upon him for his acceptance.
The secretary was instructed to no.
tify those suggested for positions.
AL! democrats are asked to attend
the meeting next Friday, as all filings
must be in the hands of the auditor
by o'clock of the following even
ing.
