THE PONY AND THE PANTHER.

THE PONY AND THE PANTHER.
A. story is told about a pony that
saved a little girl from being torn to
pieces by panthers.
The girl was twelve years old ana
she lived In Oklahoma. She a a
small pony, and many a fine gaiiop
| over mountain trails she enjoyed
upon it's back. Once she was out for
a ride cantering merrily along
through a canyon, when suddenly tho
pony stopped. Two panthers crouched
in the path. They sprang upon Inc
girl, dragged her from the saddle ana
began to claw her clothing OF in
strips. But the pony was quick as
the panthers. Instead of running
away. as any frightened amman
might be expected to do, 1t wheeled
and began to kick the panthers with
all the power of its strong, hard
hoofs. And it's blows were so fierce
and fast that the panthers could not
endure them, but skunk growing
away. and when the little girl looked
ND she saw no panther at all. but
Just her pet pony standing quietly

Gc5iiag a Piece Of Cover ment Land

II you will g to any land Office in the
Pacific OF ROCKY Mountain States and
ask. to see the uIaps there open to you,
you will find even in most of the thickly
settled counties, that the township
diagrams are dotted with tracts open
for filing under some one of the various
generous laws of our government. You
can also see u reliable description of the
general character Of ,tSse land in that
township "a township consists of SO
sections of G40 acres each). You can
then provide yourself with q compass
and blueprint" map of the township
(price fifty CENTS to one dollar) and go
inspect the vacant tract for yourself.
Usually there are men in the neighbor-
hood of any vacant public lands who
will guide You to the tracts, for fee
varying from $50 to $3.50. There are
professional lucators in nearly all the
towns of regions wherein public lands
are much sought. The capital of these
persons is simply the knowledge of just
where deir;.ble claims are to be
found. Be sure that your locator is
absolutely reliable. Some of them have
made practice of leading "tenderfeet"
to fine tract, perhaps adjoining the
actual vacant tract shown on the blue
print, but which vacant taact is alb
solutely worthless. The "blazes," or
markings, Of old surveys are often hard
to find, or to read when found; or thew
may be obliterated entirely by fires or
the ravages of time. Unless you have
learned roughly how TO run line, &"
and are somewhat familiar with the
wilderness, pay no money as location
fee until you have had your own
surveyor confirm the location. This
can be done by him in one to three
days work. Pacific Monthly.

to the complaint Mrs. Sybil Brady made
before Judge Bruce Monday, T. F.
Banigan of Mizpah choked her, knocked
her down and beat her up badly. Mrs.
Brady is deputy postmaster at Mizpah
and mail carrier also. From the story
she tells, it appears that some papers
had been left with her to turn over to
Banigan on tine payment of a sum of
money. She locked the papers in the
safe and on the 8th Banigan demanded
them, but refused to pay the amount
she was to collect. She refused to give
up the papers and he choked her. She had
a cup in her hand at the time and this
she threw at BLnigAn. The cup struck
him and cut him and he then knocked
her down and beat her He afterward
wrote II letter 3D. her husband who is at
work at Ely, in which he said that he
had whipped th3 "old woman Mr..

PAYING REPUBLICAN TARIFF
TAX ON CLOTHING

One of the matters which the people
had in their minds when they asked
the government to arrange the tariff
law so that it would bear little less
Oppressively upon them was clothing.
Clothing costs far more in the United
States than it does III any other part
of the world, although this country
produces most of the worlds cotton
and great part of the worlds wJ,'.
In spite of the fact that this natl IN
nells abroad vast quantities of both of
these principal materials for clothes
making, and that with it's improved
machinery and intelligent labor it ought
to beat the world, the price of clothes
is higher here than it is anywhere else
in the world; and the reason is that the
tariff schedules are 80 high as to tax all
the people through every article of cloth
ing they buy. almost entirely for the
benefit of 81 few mill owners who have
done nothing to earn this special priv
ilege.
Congress did not lower the wool
Tense, that it did not raise them, either,
though until the full extent of the
Sleigh-of-hand work accomplished by
Aldrich is laid bare, nobody can he
>nre Of that. Congress did not lower
the cotton schedules. but it did raise
them, and it raised most heavily those
covering articles which most people
buy because most people can afford
nothing better. These things were
done by the tariff law which President
Taft praises, and for voting against
which he has chastised the insurgents
of the west.
These abstract facts are made moro
int resting by few figures Cloth
ing has already increased in price and
still further increases are promised
for next spring. The suit of clothes
that you used to buy for SIG is now
$50, and the additional 81 represents
y1ur tribute to this wool trust and the
'ni,i owners, though there was y largo
tribute III the old price of $40 The

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The s29,-
