WHEREFORE THE DENIAL?

On Friday evening last, the Dcscret
News copied from The Tribune an cdi-
torial expression Of its selection, and
commented upon II as follows:
"rhe American party is not a party Of
cnmty, but a party of fricndlincss; 10 Is
not party OF hostility. but a party OF
peace; ii is not party OF destruction.
but a party of construction; II pcrpetu-
ates no evils. but always gives benefits:
II is not vindictive. but charitabie; IL is
not antaSonistic. but wishes the most
harmonious relations with all; II does not
welcome strife, and engages only in such
activity as is necessary to assert, rindi-
cate. and maintain the principles Of
American freedom and equality before
tire law" says the organ OF the Pseudo
American party. TO have told such a
''whoppcr" as that would have brought
the blush OF shame to the checks Of Jack
talstan or Baron Muncbausen,

uue is a fair and straightforward ex-
position Of the American party pur

we were afraid to let the fox terrier

the parrot.

decided to give him trial with the
leash. 1t only took him a few days to
learn that the penalty for chasing cats
was to leave the roof. Before the end
of the season he was as chummy with
the cats as the Boston terriers.

PAIGNTON'S GREAT PUDDING.
Fifty Years Ago-lt Weighed
Ton and a Half.


From London Globe.
Lovers of old customs will not he
displeased to hear that arrangements
are being made to revive the historl-
cal "Paignton Pudding" festival. which
comes round every fifty years, and is
due this. The making of this great
"white pot" as some term it. dates
back for centuries, for PaignIcn IS not

tering place-which its appearance
would lead those ignorant of its his
tory to suppose. Paignton-in Domes-
Gay Book the spelling is Pentone-
was formerly the richest manor be
longing to the see Of Exeter. It en-.
ioyed the privilege of being a market
town from 1894 On the meadows fac.
ing Torbay the Norman bishops built
a palace, the ruins of which are close
to the parish church. The last Ro-
man Catholic bishop left the palace in
1919, although Miles Coverdale is said
to have lived here from 1851 to 1858
occupying a tower commonly called
the bible tower" which is the chief
feature of the ruins. After the Refor-
nation Paignton dwindled to coun-
try village, and so remained until the
modern town may be said to have
commenced with the making of the
road from Torquay to Dartmouth,
about the year 1910.
The origin of the famous pudding is
wrapped in obsecurity. The first ref
erence to it is found in Westcote's
"View of Devonshire in 1862 That
historian tells of 1.-The huge and costly
white pot these made Of late, some
term it a bag pudding. In former ages
Il was an annual action and of that
greatness that it is incredible to the
bearer and thence it hath the addition
of the white pot, and called Paignton

term for food made of milk, cream,
eggs, etc, and baked in a pot. DR..
James Young, writing about 1870,
states that Paignton was anciently
borough town and held her charter
by this white pot, (which was to be
seven years making, seven years bak-

upon the subject There can be no

a young woman who is working her
way through New York college con-

when they met on the street car and

her lap.

that we paid all expenses and saved

than half pays for our flat. We charge

been so dangerous. AS it was, cash

in his power to reach them, and fail

until he could barely croak. All the
the cats were gazing at him and
swishing their tails. A month ago,
when the owner of the bird wrote to
say that she would like to have us
take it again, We politely but firmly
declined.
Last summer we had twenty-seven
cats and three dogs. We will have
all the cats back this summer and
perhaps all the dogs. If we could on
" get another dog to take the par
rot's place, we could safely count on
saving at least $40 more than we did
last season.

hoving woven wire put around the
roof of the extension and having box

in the boxes and we shut them in
every night That keeps them from
singing and disturbing the neighbors.
"On sveral occasions one Of them
slipped out of her box and the collec-

found scattered over the roof the next
morning was remarkable. Not salts

neighbors tried to get the janitor to
dispossess us.
"That is the seamy side of the bus

are easily cared for, allow almost any
one TO handle them, are the perfec-
ton of cleanliness and thrive on sim

with burden of fears like these

waiting, John Culligan donned his
best suit and set out to find his
son.
He has been to every hospital in
the city and to the hotels, to the
doctors and the police, ever asking
with trembling lips, Have you
seen my boy?" No one has seen
him-no one seems to know the
old mans son.

CAN YOU HELP FIND
THIS LOST SON?

He went to the postoffice and
there found that his son had not
called for any of the letters. Even
the one that contained the money
was still there. There were seven
of them. They had all been writ,
ten by himself and wife.
John Culligan knows how, back
home in Iowa, his loyal old wife is
waiting and weeping; how life is
growing dark without news of her
boys. He has no cheering tidings
for her, and it makes him feel the
sadder.
IT'S awful hard to tramp up and
down the streets, always among
strangers, looking and asking for
my boy, when no one has heard OF
him, no one has seen him, no one
even knows him." the old man said
to a Press reporter last night as
big tears trickled down his cheek.
IT'S all the harder when l think
of mother back home there, griev.
ing herself sick, and to think
can't cheer her with news of him.
I'm afraid he's dead, for ! can't
find out thing about him, but I'm
going to keep on looking; l can't
go home to mother and tell her I've
failed.
John is 20 years old. He Is
about five feet IL inches tall and
weighs about ITO pounds. He used
to be a brakeman on the Great
Northern. He don't have to be
wandering about the world away
from home, and I'm going to try
to take him back if can find him.
Mother and me don't want him to
roam around any more"
