Every now and again the benight-
ed Oriental sets On example which
the civilized nations of the world
would do well to emulate. An in
stance OF this has just occurred In
connection with the atrocious MUIR
der OF New York girl by the China
man known as William Leon. Ad.
vices have been received in Wash
iugton TO the effect that the Imper-
ial government at Peking purposes
itself 70 offer large monetary re-
ward for the apprehension and con-
viction OF Leon, and the Chinese
Charge d'Affairs in Washington.
Mr.. Du. has been instructed to send
20 all Chinese consuls, promtnept
merchants and leaders OF tongs or
Chinese secret societies, q letter urg-
ing them 20 call together their fel.
low-countrymen in their neigh bor-
hoods and. addressing them In the
name Of the Imperial government,
10 say 10 them that China is shamed
and disgraced by this brutal mur.
der and that every Chinaman who
has the good name OF his country at
heart will do all in his power 10
bring the fugitive 10 justice.

The Demoeratle PrImarIea.

In this issue we publish the call
for the Democratic primaries and
hope 10 will be carefully read and
considered, and the primaries be at
tended by every So. Mary's Demo
crat.
The Committee has included In its
call o clause empowering the Coun-
ty Convention TO select the Central
Committee for the county. This Is
something OF on Innovation, but we
think will give greater satisfaction
shan the old method OF having the
committee selected by the delegates
TO the State Convention. The Gen.
tral Committee is to be commended
for this action which is undoubtedly
q step in the right direction.
The selection OF the candidates OF
the party by direct vote or the
Crawford county system imposes
upon the Democratic voters o grave
responsibility. It Is up to them to
pick out winners for the Falls cam
paign. and to do this they must use
discretion and Judgment in casting
their votes. In addition to possess
ing the Jeffersonian qualifications
OF honesty. competency and Democ-
racy. our candidates should be pick
cd TO represent, as far as possible.
every section Of ST. Mary's. Too
many candidates from any one dis
trict may prove o weight to pull the
ticket down, and in selecting the
party nominees, voters should bear
this fact In mind.
The direct system Of selecting
candidates Is on trial, and II our
voters will pick winners in this
Falls campaign. the system will
come to stay.

The proposed Taft tax will gain

have long fumed and fretted under
the tariff burdens laid upon them,
and they rejoice at the squeals Of
the Trusts at the proposal TO make

saw a beautiful princess seated
OH a ruby throne.
The prince knelt and said :
Dearest, I have come to marry
YOU" The princess looked into
his eyes and loved him. She
said softly: Lead the way, 0
prince, and | will followp
Just then a wicked fairy. who
was very powerful, changed the
princess into a little brown owl
and put her up a tree. The tree
had a glass trunk and all the
branches were swords.
The poor little princess felt
very sad and lonely and cried
bitterly, but the prince remained
near the tree and would call !:
Dearest love, | will work hard
to free you, for I love you still, =
Then the wicked fairy would
fly around and croak:
"TIo! Ho! tIo!.

IA without leaving the tree guarded
by two fierce dragons. The poor prince
was at loss to know what to do next,
but he called his godmother and con-
suited her, and she gave him these in
structions: Go you into yonder forest
and get an old owl similar to the one
into which your beloved princess has
been changed. When you have done
this go as close to the tree as possible,
saying these words: Princess, princess,
list to me now. Princess, princess, come
to me now. Come be my wife, come be
my life, forever more

make a noise and fly right into the
face of one of the dragons and blind
him. Before the other dragon can
reach YOU, you must rush in and take
the owl, your princess, and call me.
I'll be sure to come"
1t all came about just as it should.
A dragon was creeping toward them
and he remembered and called out:
Codmother, godmother"
The godmother came in her beautiful
milk-white. gold trimmed fairy chariot,
drawn by four sky-blue silyer-spotted
butterflies. By her magic the fairy
lifted them into this chariot and drove

n NE day many years ago a
prince who had just come of
" age was walking through u
beautiful garden.
In this garden were many
flowers; in the center of each
flower was a diamond of great
price, and each diamond was
guarded by tiny fairy.
AS Prince George walked
through the garden all the fairies
whispered: Behold Our prince
Where is our princess?" ?"
Then the prince looked up to
the sky and cried aloud: Il
must find my princess! p
He put on his velvet mantle
and jeweled cap and called ;
'Godmother Godmother Where
is my princess" ?"
His godmother flew to him at
once-she also was a fairy-and
whispered to him: GO through
the forest until you see silver
palace with golden chimneys.
You must go alone and you must
walk or you will not win the
princess"
The prince walked through the
forest, and the stately fir trees
threw little green cones decked
