Wholly Unnecessary.

Going home from church Sunday
morning many of the citizens of
Owosso were incensed to see force of
men engaged in unloading wagon loads
of bananas for one of the Italian fruit
stores of the city. Such thing is a
disgrace to the city and is wholly I'M
called for There is plenty of time and
opportunity for such work during
week days and it is to be hoped that
the city authorities will serve notice
that prosecution will follow repeti-
ton Of the offense.

A New Story Of Old Virginia.

Irene of the Mountains" ro-
nance of old Virginia by George
Eggleston. has recently been issued
from the press of Lothrop. Lee &
Shepard Co., Boston. AS the title In
dicates, this is romance, plentifully
grounded, however, with historical
facts, written in a manner which can
not help but /captivate the reader.
Politics plays an important part in
the action of the story, the heroine
being power in the mountain Sec
ton in which she lives. The hero
inc is later transplanted to the fash
ionable circles Of Richmond, where
she seems to have carried the spirit
of leadership. 1t is story well
worth the reading.

that they were deep in one of the

poses as being very democratic, but is
at heart a thorough aristocrat.

South American Inns.

A traveller who recently returned to
Philadelphia was narrating some of
his experiences in South America at
banquet of globe trotters. He had
skirted the entire coast of South
America and had found the inns or
hotels in most sections very poor. So
bad were they in Peru, he said, that
one American who had been thrown
into Jail pending some dispute over
his papers and after his release had
s; ught the hotel of the town, returned
the next day to the jail and begged
that he might be taken In.
The most curious sign he had seen
was In the window or restaurant tn
Buenos Ayres, which read American
cafe-champagne and fried potatoes.

SYNOPSIS.

Three girls Elizabeth. Gabrielle and
Elise-started for Canada to spend the
summer there. On board steamer they
were frightened by an apparently dement,
ed stranger, who, finding bag belonging
to one of them. took enjoyment In scru::
tnizing a photo of the trio. Elise shared
her stateroom with a Mrs. Graham, also
bound for Canada. The young women on
sightseeing tour met Mrs; Graham,
anxiously awaiting her husband, who had
duced to Lord Wilfrid and Lady Edith.
A cottage by the ocean was rented. Two
men called. They proved to be John c.
Blake and Gordon Bennett, one friend
Of Elizabeth's father. A wisp of yellow
hair from Mr., Graham's pocket feil int into
was black. Fearing for the safety of
some gems, Lady Edith left them in
safe at the cottage. Mr.. Gordon Bennett
was properly introduced, explained his &C
bag. Exploring, the cellar, one of the
girls found a sphinx cuff-buton, the exact
counterpart of which both Gordon Ben
nett and Lady Edith were found to pos
sess also. Elise, alone. explored the cell
lar, overhearing conversation there be,

Lady Edith told a story of lost love in
connection with the. sphinx key. At a
supper, which was held on the rocks,
Elizabeth rather mysteriously lost
party. Gabrielle witnessed stormy
scene between Lady Edith and Lord VIII
frid, red roses being the cause OF the lat
ter's anger. Mary Anne brought back
Elizabeth's ring. Elise went sailing with
her to return the Jewels left in the girls
care by Lady Edith. He told her he

For there were two men upon It,
and an unlighted steam launch waited
beside 1t. One of them knelt before
the door of the boathouse, evidently
trying to unlock 1t, while the other
watched with interest, and finally pro-
duced a bunch of keys from his own
pocket and selected one as he handed
them to his companion, with apparent
directions how to apply it. And saw
plainly that the man who supplied the
keys was Gordon Bennett, who, with
his friend Mr.. Blake, was trying to
force an entrance into our boathouse.

SALOON BUSINESS GROWING LESS.

A number o' saloons went out of business in Cochise county with the beginning of the present month when the county licenGe for one year was payable. Four saloons in Blsbee and two in Douglas closed their doors because of lack of bus ness. This is circumstance which points to the
 fact that the saloon patronage Is growing less. Four years ago, when
 Douglas was incorporated as a city, there were forty saloons doing bust. ness. In Bisbee there were many more saloons four years ago than
 now. The imposition of a city license put several saloons out of business both in Bisbee and Douglas. but what proved the most fatal blow to the sa- loon business was the abolition of the banking gambling games two years ago and the prevention of all forms of gambling in saloons by the recent sventy-fifth legislature. The disap- pearance of saloon patronage n Co chise county and throughout Arizona is a gratifying testimony 10 the ele- vation of the character of the citizen snip of Arizona. This creditable con ditioa is growing throughout the na- ton. because of the better education of the individual as to the injurious effects of alcoholic stimulants on the
 human body without legislation of

NOTICE.
AN EXTINCT INDIAN TRADITION

Crazy Snake. the Creek chief. who's, daring and cunning has the militia O Oklahoma on still hunt, hal sqvelched an Indian tradition that ha. been the boast of the proud Chero kees. the aristocratic Choctaws aac the war gods of the Sioux anl APsches. The spectacle of "CuTfy' and Poor Lo" pooling the issues and openly resisting the authority of 8 sovereign state would cause Geroni mo and Sitting Hull Go blush with shame.
 It is traditional that the Indian never recognized but one equal, the pale face, and only when lashed to the masthead of civilization, has he ad- rnitted the superiority Of the white man. Crazy Snake, according to press dispatches, has negro allies. In fact. it appears that regro agitators in- cited the Indians to warfare. Men who cut trails in the west well re- member that, while the Indian de- spised the pale face, he respected him as worthy foe and that the ne- gro he would not regard as his equal Greenwood LaFlore felt himself as big and powerful as Andrew Jackson, and proved himself Jaekson's equal in obstinacy. He would not have en- tered into an alliance with men Of African blood. In fact the American Indian has not played strong game ss to allies. Each tribe has stood alone and solitary in it's ideas of the Indians "inalienable rights" There is a poetic beauty III the story of the American Indian. one that Longfellcw and Copper recognized.
 Crazy Snake has upset the tra- iition and trailed the so-caIled pride of Lo in the dust He has allied himself with the dusky sons of Ham This co-partnership is defendant in a very important case being prosecuted by the state of Oklahoma. It goes without gaying that Crazy Snake and "Cuffy" will pay the freight and that the tariff will be even heavier than reports show it to nave been. Which causes us to remark: TemIAra mu- ta1tur ct nos matamur in illis, or words to that effect.

Nation oF CauIta1is.s,

The Pennsylvania railroad. our big. gest railroad property, announces that the dividend paid on November 27, 1908. was sent to 5S.739 stockholders. Of whom about 2S.0O0 were women. 4 year ago the number of stockhoId- CTS was 52 622. and about 24.000 of these were women. The increase in thc number of women stockholders is one Of the strong tendencies shown by this and other high-ciass railroad properties. EVen more noteworthy. However. is the tendency toward the e imination Of foreign holdings of stuck, and inc gradual gathering of the stocks of our big properties by the citizens Of the United States. Ten years ago almost half the stock of tbe Pennsylvania was held abroad. To day, according to figures kindly fur -ished 10 us by the Pennsylvania Rail read Company, only about 16 per cent. of it's stock is owned by stockholders who live outside the country. World s Work
