Senators at Washington who object to per-
forming their duties during warm weather should
draw consolation from the session OF the Geor-

meets during the hottest part of the year, Just

EsmeraIda County will Get The Mule

Major Minnamascot, the mule Of
fered by Mr.. Bryan during the cam
paign Of 1908 to the precinct showing
the largest per cent'of gain. will go to
Esmeralda county, Nevada, unless some
other county can establish a better
claim. The. Commoner has carefully
considered all claims submitted. The
basis for the computation of results was
made in this way. The vote of 1908 was
compared with the average of the three
preceding elections, 1904, 1900 and 1896,
and gives the remarkable average of
694 per cent Williams county, North
Dakota, stands next with 573 per cent.
The average attained by Esmeralda
county is not approached by any county
even by comparing with the 1904 vote
alone.

much effort and profanity, they gained

marked:

81 guess I'd help myself, all right"
Stark laugned significantly. as did
Runnion. who added:
Lee is entitled to put in anybody
he wants on his own discovery. and If
anybody tries to get ahead of us
there's liable to be trouble"
81 reckon il don't know no short

whereupon Doret spoke up reassur-
ingly:
"Dere's no use g,ttin' scare lax dat,
because nobody knows were Lees

That's right" said Gale. 1.-THE only
other way across Is by Black Bear
creek. and there amt half dozen men
ever been up to the head Of that
stream, much ess over the divide. so
I don't allow there's any use to fret
ourselves"
They went on their way. travelling
leisurely until late evening, when they
camped at the mouth Of the valley up
which the NJ RS cabin lay. Camp
had been made early at Gales sugges-
ton instead of pushing on few miles
farther. as Lee had intended. and now
when the cool evening fell and the
draft quickened. it became possible to
lay off gloves and headgear, so they
sat about the fire. talking, smoking
and rubbing their tired feet.
1t is at such hours and in the smoke
of such fires that men bark backward
and bring forth the sacred, time worn
memories they have treasured to turn
them over fondly by the glow of dying
embers.
