Beverly, Mass, Aug. 10.-President
Taft sat on the broad veranda of his
summer cottage overlooking Salem
bay and the open waters of the ocean
lying beyond the rocks of Marblehead.
The little dancing waves broke and

on the Marblehead shore scores OF
small yachts had spread their sails to
the breeze. 1t is NIarblehead race

the bay is dotted with sender class
yachts in preparation for the race for
the German emperor's cup.
1t was an inviting day on the water
and Taft was asked II he were in.

brought a reminiscent smile as he de.
clared he once was an enthusiast, but
lost interest after bitter experience
many years ago of Shelter island.
President Was Land Lubber.
The president said he was spending
summer along the Long island shore

CROSSING THE DESERT.

Cactus and sand and sage brush,
Sage brush and cactus and sand,
With the burning sun above us,
And may the good Lord love us,
But there's little else on the land,
Or it may be the Spanish dagger,
Raises its sun-burned head,
And all too oft skeleton,
Tells of the cattle dead.
All, there is a shack on the desert
What a lonely place to live,
With never a rock for shelter,
And never tree for shade,
Sure this is the .dreariest country
The Creator ever made
Now here and there the crows fly,
What can they find to eat,
Or the hawks whose lazy pinions,
Above the hot sands beat.
Another home on the desert.
With chickens black as the crow.
wonder if women live here?
wonder il children grow?
via cans ana DOttleS and boxes,
Old skeletons white as snow,
are seen on the clustering road side
AS on the east we go,
Hundreds of wearisome miles,
Der the dreary desert sand
They who will may live here,
But we know a better land.
Thank God for the green prairies
Where the river of water flow.
Thank God for the rich black soil,
Where the corn and potatoes grow.
Thank God for the snow that falls,
And praise him for the rain,
We must cross the dreary desert,
But He brings us home again. +.

Mr. Editor:-I was in Charles City
recently and while there went to the
Starr Home where Mrs. Mary Bal
lard, formerly of your place, now
lives. found her looking well and
contented after her nine months res
idence in the pleasant and comfort
able little home where she hopes to
pass the remainder of her days. She
was pleased to seen an old friend
and hear from the old home again,
she sent kindliest greetings to her
Manchester friends.
Three other ladies were in the
home. One was Mrs. Bowie, who lived
in Manchester in the "Toogood and
Bethel days. Most of the people
she knew then are beyond the reach
of earthly friendships.
Each lady had only good words for
the pleasant and capable matron,
Mrs. Sanford, who makes life as
comfortable for them in Starr home.

THEY'RE OUT OF STYLE.
Supreme Court Hands Hot Shot to
Charivari Parties.

Charivari parties are very much
in disfavor with the Kansas supreme
court and especially with Justice Ma
SON. The court in decision handed
down Saturday holds that charivarl
parties are mobs that ought to be
suppressed and any city that does not
suppress them may be held liable Tor
any damage that might occur. Even
though the party is not intent on
serious violence the annoyance ana
insults to the bride and groom are
sufficient to constitute disturbance
and a city is liable for all damages
resulting from disturbances. Frank
Hawman, a s-year-old boy of Cher
ryvale was watching chartvari
party hauling bride and groom up
and down q street in Cherryyale. he
was knocked down and his leg brok-
en- by the wagon. His mother sued
the city for damages and obtained .
Judgment against the city. The su'
preme court holds the judgment
against the city for damages.
"The object Of a Charivari is about
as barbarous as the pronunciation Of
its name. Whatever federation it once
had has long since passed away
Even when in vogue 1t was often at
tended with violence and bloodshed
II it ever was allowable to direct I
jury that such an assemblage. will
all its tumult and confusion, was no
great provocation to those annoye'
and insulted by it, that time has pass
ed away"

Ccnner Malott Tells 81 That City's
Push and Vim.


spokane is the best inland city
in America, and with q population
of more than 100000 It is growing
10, 900, a year." said Conner Malott.
manager Of the mortgage department
of the Spokane and Eastern Trust
company. who is here from Spokane
visiting his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. T..
H. Malott.
washington is a trifle smaller
than Kansas and has a million people
of whom half are in Spokane, Seattle
and Tacoma. The population com
prizes the most nearly pure Anglo
saxon people to be found IN America.
Grain farming. fruit growing, truck
ing on irrigated lands, numbering,
stock raising and mining for gold,
silver, copper and lead are the prin-
cipal industries. The apple lands
are unrivalled and sell for as much
as $500 an acre. The apples are
much sold in England.
Irrigation is growing and the spo-
kane river which has an aggregate
power equal to Niagara, generates
electricity that runs pumps for lift
ing water for irrigation over an i'm
mense area.
Spokane is the greatest railroad
center west of the Mississippi. 1t
has the Union Pacific system, the
Northern Pacific, the Great North
ern. the Canadian Pacific, the Spo-
kane, Portland & Seattle, the Wash
ington Central, the Washington &
Idaho. Northern, the Spokane and
Northern System and the North
Coast. The Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul is building in, the Burling-
ton runs through trains and there is
unrivalled equipment of urban and
interurban electric lines covering $50
miles. The best farm lands, which
grom 80 to IS bushels Of wheat in
an average crop, bring up to $50 an
acre. Newer wheat lands are from
$40 to $25 an acre.
Common labor on the streets gets
$2.75 for eight hours. Carpenters
get $3.50, plumbers and masons gel
$3.50. City real estate brings up to
$4,000 a front foot.
Spokane, will entertain the nat
ional irrigation congress this veal
and the citizens are subscribing sos
600 for that and other purposes. The
parade will be a wonder with 81
bands in line.
"The Seattle fair will be a goot
show, and the railroad rates to ]
| and the national irrigation congress
at Spokane make It possible for visi
tors to see at reasonable COST thu
best part Of the county"
Conner will leave Sunday for Chi
cagO.
