about two. years in which to mature

One important item of q showman's

was aware that the Canadian govern.

Now. there was no printing house
anywhere in Canada that could begin
to turn out the kind of work that Mr..
Barnum required either in size, color
or finish. Nevertheless his immense
posters came under the same classi.

and printed colored matter did, and he
knew that the Dominion custom au.

the full toll, but would rather rejoice
at the opportunity to mulct the foreign

So Barnum studied tue question

AT THE JUNCTION.
The Situation That Grew Out of
= a Long Wait.
By DONALD ALLEN.

copyrighted. 1909. by Associated Literary
Press.l
Miss Carrie Mayberry had made a
Journey of seventy miles up the state
to pay months visit to her aunt. She
had had to change cars at a junction
Ell route, but the conductor had been
so courteous and there had been so
many passengers changing with her
that she had not minded the ten min
ute wait. In returning after her visit
was up things were different. The con-
ductor was Il crossgrained old chap
who had no good looking daughter Of
his own. and then the only other pas
senger to get off and take the G. and
b. road was young man. who pro.
ceeded to saunter up and down the
platform without giving Miss Carrie q
second look.
AS if these three or four things were
not bad enough. she learned that the
train she had to wait for was three
hours behind time. She did not learn
this from the young man-oh. no. He
found out for himself and then kept
the information to himself, though he
must have known what a hurry she
was in to get back home and see pa
and ma. He just didn't care whether
she got home that day or the week
after.
Miss Carrie learned about the late.
ness Of the train from the red headed
depot agent. 1t was a country juno
tfon. The depot and his house we're
the only two buildings there. The only
landscape for three miles around was
made up of a spotted COW, swamp.
q haystacli and a water tank. 1t took
the red headed man just one hour to
get ready to come out on the platform
and say:
"Your train was three hours late an
hour ago: now it's only two hours"
"What-my train late!' was the ex-
clamation. ".Why didn't you tell me so
when got off?"
mo good. You'd have had to stay
just the same"
The young man saw her look of cha
grin, disappointment and anger from
the -four barrel on which he was sit
ting, but did not come forward and
take the red headed man by the neck
or speak words of consolation to her.
She looked at him and mentally called
him names-real hard names.
The agent had home, wife and two
children. The home was quite near.

the pronered Kindness he said:
"Mistah Johnsing. sho is glad you

OF course the two Samaritans were
somewhat taken aback by the unusual

secretary's question the Georgia negro
replied in whisper:

Reached tho Limit.


An old sailor noticed something sus.
picious about sack Of meal that was
being swung by q crane at Port Mol
10th on to his hip. The sailor told the
captain there seemed to be something
moving in that particular sack, and
the captain said:
"Aha. a stowaway, guess! Keep
1t till the last Then sling it to the
yard and let 1t hang there"
The sailor kept the sack till the last.
Then he swung it up over the hold,
and as the winchman was going to
lower 1t he shouted:
mo, no! Don't lower down! Let
her hang,"
And there the sack hung in midair.
The ship put out to sea. The sack
swung this way and that with the
rolling Of the waves. Now 1t spun like
. top. Now it bumped against the
mast. And for nearly three hours
this swaying and banging, this bump.
Ing and spinning, went on, but never
q sound came from the sack.
Finally the captain winked and
shouted:
'That sacks damp. Drop It over
board"
There was mufled aerial shrek,
and the sailor lowered the sack with
. great splash into the sea: then he
hauled it up again at once.
"Lemme out! Lemme out" splut-
tered q terrified voice. and the sack
was opened, and out rolled gigantic

WHO is MAYOR OF

The Intermountain Republican an
nounces that Ogden. after being with
out mayor for four weeks, owing to
the deposing of Mayor Brewer by the
city council, at last has new mayor,
A. ]. Anderson. former city justice.
Mayor Brewer will receive this news
with shock For four weeks he has
been roaming around Ogden with all
the air and dignity of real mayor,
wholly unconscious that he WAS in a
somnambular condition and his may
orally was but dream. Perhaps that
accounts for the mayors speech at the
Pinchot reception In tho Tabernacle.
But why the Republican made A. j.
Anderson. city justice. mayor, over
looking the judge OF our municipal
court. calls for an explanation.
1t may be the Republican has be-
come confused over the city affairs OF
Ogden and Huntsville and that after
all Alex Brewer is still mayor OF Og.
don and A. j. Anderson is now mayor
OF Huntsville. II that be true. the
Republican, after due apology, Will be
forgiven.

LAST INDIAN UPRISING.

Oklahoma. though thought OF as an
indian state, has undergone such a
great change In the makeup OF its
population in the last ten years that
the Indian there finds himself small
minority. easily held In subsection by
the whites. This fact Is made evident
by the quick defeat which Crazy
Snake and his followers have met and
the small amount OF assistance the
lawless bands have received from the
inhabitants In the back country whore
they have been operating.
Nearly all western states. have at
some time called on the general gov.
eminent for troops In the suppression
OF Indian outbreaks, yet Oklahoma,
once the heart of Indian life ON this
continent, Is able TO put down Its In
dian uprisings without thought or out.

The day of the redman has passed
that Is the day when the warriors
such as Crazy Snake can cause any
great uneasiness by going on the war
