The second powder mine of the

secretary Of the Interior Ballinger
rose to speak. His subject was
The Attitude Of the Administers

Vest"
H The interest Of the delegates in
|ihat he could or would say was
AIMED to flame by news this morn
Ing that the Hetch-Hetchy water
Deserve in Yosemite valley, upon
(9hich San Francisco ia dependent
Tor new water supply, had been
losed secretly by order of Bal
Finger.
The frs. intimation given of this
fiction was warning served by SOL
Tiers posted on the Hetch-Hetchy
b surveyors sent to carry on the
Tater works project. No public
announcement had been made in
me regular manner.
The water power trust, under the
resent administration of the in
erior department, appears to have
rarted the United States army
ITO its service In grabbing power
jites, when more underhand means

San Francisco had secured the

ecially by show of armed force,
obviously used by federal orders,

Ballinger refused today noon to
lee a representative of The Press,
Sr make any statement concerning
he Hetch-Hetchy confiscation.
His secretary stated that Bal
singer had not authorized the seiz-
re and that he would In time pro-
uce a telegram to prove 1t. He
wasn't certain just when he could
produce the telegram.
On the platform this afternoon,

Travel In Morocco.

When the weather is fine and the
roads are in good condition, what can
be more pleasant than journey in the
land Of the Moors? The climate dur
ing the autumn and spring Is perfect.
The nights are cold, and you may find
ice on the water in the early morning,
but directly the sun appears the
warmth is like that Of beautiful Sep
tember day in England. The sky Is
never overcast by clouds, except when
the rain is about to fall, and the at
mosphere is one Of a wonderful blush
transparency. I find something in the
atmosphere of Morocco which I have
not found in other countries, some
thing Of freedom which is elevating
both to mind and body. There are
none Of the so-called conveniences and
comforts Of civilization. There are no
time tables to be consulted, no arbi-
trary hours Of departure or arrival, no
right of road or speed limits to be OBJ
served. There are no bridges to the
rivers, no taverns or resthouses at
night; no laws to be observed and no
authorities, If there were, to carry
them into effect There Is no one to
protect you in case Of danger, and you
are entirely dependent on yourself for
your food. your lodging and safe con-
duct. Thus you can make your own
laws to govern your daily life and the
lives of those who accompany you.
You are in supreme authority, for far
L., nfvafr
and no redress.
Each tribe through which you pass
may regard you with different feel
ings, and therefore you must make
friends with each separately and reg
ulate your conduct to meet each indi-
yidual case. There Is no race more
peaceful and hospitable than the Arab,
once they know you. Every Moor you
meet on the road stops to salute you
and to ask the usual questions:
Where are you from?" Where are
you going?" What is your business?"
Once these are answered to his satis-
faction, the stranger will become a
friend and often accompany you for
some distance on the road.
Then your servants, horses and
mules with their many vagaries are q
constant source of study. Mules are
among the most intelligent Of animals,
and they regulate their lives and their
conduct in a manner that Is almost
human. The mule never grumbles or
protests. If asked to do a journey Of
twenty miles, 1t will do it; If asked to
go fifty, 1t will go the fifty without a
halt with superb determination. On
arriving in camp each mule stands
quietly until the load is lifted from its
back. Then they roll and lie down to
have a nap before dinner, which they
know will not be served until night
fall. If the hour Is passed by a few
minutes they demand their corn with
plaintive cries. All who are fond Of
travel and who enjoy life in the open
air under the bluest Of skies and In the
most agreeable of climates and in a
company Of chivalrous and romantic
people should travel in Morocco.-Na-
tional Review.

Saved BY the court.-A supreme
court Judge tells this story about q
famous character around the minor
courts. Tall, gaunt and gawky, The had
a fund Of ready Irish wit and dig
nifty Of presence and carriage which
combined with a booming bass voice
was humorous in itself. All the judges
knew him and were lenient with his
infractions Of court rules.
The character, who was a lawyer OF
the shyster class, was defending case
in court one day before justice who
was particularly fond Of him. He
went to luncheon with his client
When court resumed after luncheon II
was evident that he had enjoyed his
midday meal. Realizing the situation
the justice leaned over and said:
"This case is postponed until to-
morrow. The counsel for the defense
is in no condition to proceed with It.
The lawyer rose to his feet unstead-
lily and gazed earnestly at the court
Then his deep voice doomed out
Your honor, I have known you, man.
boy and child, for thirty years-on the
binch and off the binch-and it is the
first time in all these years I have
known you to make rulin' in accord
ance with the facts"
Then he sat down.-Cosmopolitan.

Disadvantages Of chinsse.-A Chi
naman was called as a witness in the

of a driver who had run over dog
The Judge asked him what time 1t was

Me no sabe," replied the witness.

time was it when you saw this man

lied that the witness did not under

other Chinaman was hailed into court
to act as interpreter. ASK the wit

Made Him Homesick.-At

Made Him Homesick.-At a diplo-
matte reception in Washington, Mrs
Taft, on being complimented on her
exquisite French, told little story
about a senator whose French (ac-
quired in twelve photographic lessons)
is by no means exquisite.
The senator, fresh from one of his
photographic recitals, pounced upon
an under secretary Of the French le-
cation at a dinner.
Monsieur" he said, "eska-ah-
eska-voo-eska VOC voo-ly ma-voo

The Prodigy's Punishment

The Prodisy's Punishment.-The
infant prodigy of a Cincinnati house
hold had just learned to swear.
One evening, when the family were
sitting about, and his father, man OF
rare absence of mind, was reading in
his easy chair, the youngster looked
wickedly up at his parent and said
aloud, Papa, go to de debbil."
There was a moment Of astonished
silence. the boys sisters and mother
waiting in quiet horror for the lord
and master to administer chastise-
ment.
That gentleman, affected by the at
mospheric pressure, suddenly laid
down his paper and gazed about him
Having a misty idea that his son had
questioned him, and gathering from
the faces of the assembled multitude
that something was expected Of him
a father, he plunged at words and
said gravely,-
Say please, Richard"

DAM" said the bank teller politely,
but you'll have to be identified" He
pushed the check across the marble
slab toward her as he spoke.
'Identified?" repeated the lady,
what does that mean? Isn't the check
good?"
The bank man did not smile, for
this was the thirty lady who
had asked this question that day.
81 have no doubt it is," he said, "but
/ don't know you. Do you know any
body in the bank?"
why, I'm Mrs. Weatherley!" ex-
claimed the lady. Didn't you see my
name on the check? See-here 1t is"
The teller shook his head wearily.
you must be identified" he insist
ed; you must bring somebody who
knows YOU" The lady drew herself
up.
"That check" she said with dignity,
was given me by my husband.
There's his name on 1t. Do you know
him?"
'T do" said the teller, "but I don't
know YOU
Then" said the lady, "Fll show you
who / am. My husband is tall man
with reddish hair. His face is smooth
shaven. He has mole on one cheek
and looks something like gorilla,
some people say, but I don't think so.
When he talks he twists his mouth to
one side, and one Of his front teeth Is
missing. He wears No. Is collar,
No. shoe, and won't keep his coat
buttoned. He's the hardest man to
get money out Of you ever saw-it
took me three days to get this check"
The banker waved his hand.

your name right there-no, on the
back, not the face."-Galveston News.

ened it securely. The same method
was followed with the second animal.
When, after two hours hard work,
the two deer were securely fastened
with his lariat, there was no place on
the horse for him, and there was no
alternative but for him to walk to the
ranch and lead his horse. The dis
tance to the ranch was ten miles and
most of the trail was obliterated by
snow, but John was the son of a
plainsman, born on the great central
plains, and reared under just such
conditions as now confronted him.
So, leading his pony, he began the
long march home. A score Of times he
was neck deep in snowdrifts, through
which he managed to founder, finally
reaching home and receiving a royal
welcome.
The hardship Of a 10-mie tramp
under the conditions which the lad
was obliged to encounter, with the
mercury in the thermometer lowering
above the zero mark, would have
caused grown men to hesitate before
they made the attempt. But John
Wesley Wolfe made nothing of his
trip, and it was with difficulty the au-
thor could get him to relate it.
The summer of 1907 found John
Wesley Wolfe a member of the Harlan
l. Smith archaeological accommodating
party in the neighborhood of the
Rawhide mountains. Mr.. Smith Is q
well known scientist connected with
the American Museum of National
History, New York City. In the course
of this trip the boy, then IA years of
age, made some important discoveries,
and his name figures in the official re-
