T|EKEL MONARCHY

If you will take the map of the United States and paint that DOT ton of 1t controlled by the Demo crats and Insurg nts one color and that small portion of 1t still under another, the latter looks about the size of calf pasture painted on the map of Kansas
 Not until one has a pen picture of the late landslide will he fully realize what an awful drubbing the special privileges got The next president of the United States will be a Democrat. beyond any doubt and then Alaskans will govern Alas ka. There will then he no more Tiekel monarchies. Then men will not be permitted to take out their naturalization papers that thev may he apnointed to office the next day 10 domineer over honest American laborers and send them to jail be- cause thev did not see fit 10 vote as the naturalized "Judee" dictates.

 The whole history of the Tieke] government is small sample of what we would get if the henchmen of the corporations were appointed to rule over us. Should we dare to demand our rights we would be proven euiltv of most any crime on the cal~ndar by witnesses who could not speak the English language, or by vagabonds who, after bein.. used for the damnahle purposes that the henchmen might desire. would be thrown in jail until needed again.
 As Mayor Valentine says, if such government continues. there is a possibility, but scarcely proba- bility, of revolution for the people are certainly stirring up over this matter But be yet patient, the Dem- ocrats will soon be in oTer.-Cor- dova Truth.

I YEAR LOCUSTS
 COMING
HENCE-ONLY BIRDS CAN FIGHT THEM TO FINISH.

NEW YORK, Oct 19. - To warn farmers and Orchardists against the resurrection of the "seventeen-year loCust' or periodical ciCada' that will occur in certain areas of this country next spring. call for pre- serving the wild birds that destroy this pest is today being issued from the heldQuartCrs of the National As sociatiCn of Audubon Societies in this city. Two giant broods of these remarkable insects, that come to rayage orchard vegetation only after incubation intervals of 13 to r years. are set down by scientists as due to descend upon this continent within the next six months Only the birds that can be counted upon 10 eat tn m up by thousands can check this swarming locust plague.
 English sparroWs, robins, wood peckers, orioles. scarlet tanaeers, cuckoos. goldfnches and nuthatches have been proved by the government biological survey to have rendered the greatest service in devouTing these periodical Cicada on their last raids Cf the country, according to the records that have been searched by the Audubon workers. Eating the soft bodies of the locust pests or their wings and heads, cat birds. fiCkers, towhees. enatcatchers, mar tins, peewees, thrushes, vireos, chick adees and flyCatchers are among their other deStroyers. Only two species of all the birds do not feed upon these destructive insects To protect these birds and all other in sect eaters through the coming months is declared to be an emerg- ency measure that must be seized upon by the farmers of the land.
 Comprehensive state laws for the protection cf the insect eating birds and widespread efforts to shelter them through the storms of this winter are advocated in this emerg ency by the National Association of Audubon Societies.

BLAZE 26 STORIES UP

NEW YORK. - The employees of the Singer building, had a lively half hour one Thursday morning re- gently fighting a fire which broke out Cn the 26th floor in the room containing the telephone switch, boards of the United States and Mexican Trust Company
 he blaze made rapid headway, he tiremen answered promptly, and by using two of the elevators soon reached the scene of the fire They found it unnecessary to bring up any hose, as the apparatus in the building was adequate.
 Captain Sweet, who was in charge of the fire fighters, said that when he and his men got out of the eleva- tors they found the only way to reach the room where the fire was blazing was by passing through mar row railways. We had to make our way as best we could" continued Sweet, through hot smoke that al most choked and blinded us. It Is lucky that the fire did not occur lat CT in the morning.

WERE THE CHINESE ANCES-
 TORS OF THE INDIANS

Minted in the Flowery Kingdom more than two thousand years ago, coin is in the possession of Coon Dip. Chinese consul for the state of Washington, but a resident of Portland, Ore. Together with many other coins of oriental stamp. II was taken recently from jar un- covered by Indians on the shores of Alaska. near Wrancel The coin in he possession of Dip was purchased from the Indians by Coon Sing Chee. an Alaska canneryman, and brought to Portland
 In the same vicinity the Indians dug up a tombstone of ancient make, on which was inscribed in Chinese characters the name of Lee Lei Lang Bay Other relics were found. show ing that Alaska was unQuestionably inhabited by Chinese long before the Christian era began. Among the other finds was a piece of lockwood, T grade of wood produced in no other country but China. It is be- lieved to have come from some ship which was wrecked.
 The coins were in a jar made of pottery. Portland Chinese regard the finds as conclusive proof that the North American Indians are of Chin ese descent. In no other way can they account for the presence of the relics which were unearthed. The coin brought south by the can neryman is described in the Portland Telegram as about a size larger than a silver dollar. It is of cop per metal and little blemished from the stain of ages. There is a square hole cut in the center. On both sides are hieroslyphics undecipher- able to any one but a Chinese stu dent of antiquity
 MOy Back Hin. Chinese consul at Portland, says he has long been convinced that the American In dians are descendants of the Chinese. During his long residence in the United States he explains that many incident coming under his observa- ton have led him to such a conclu- sion. In early days in the West he states that 1t is a wellknown fact that when the Indians were on the warpath they never molested a Chinaman, as they regarded him as relative. He declares that he recalls an instance of this sort over in Idaho. when the regular soldiers were call"d out 10 put down an h. dian uprising. While the red men were murdering any whites who happened to cross their path, they refused to harm the Chinese who were mining in that section at the time.
 Coon DiD, Moy Back, and other leading Chinese residents of Port land give it as their opinion that more than twenty centuries ago a ship engaged in the coastwise trade of the Flowery Kingdom ran into a terrific storm. It is conjectured that she was blown far out to sea and probably got disabled Helplesslv adrift, it is surmised that she event. ually brought up on the Alaska coast. The survivors managed to oct ashore, Unable to return across he Pacific. they made the best of heir lot bv takine up their abode in the bleak Northland. They in creased in numbers, and the trihes found scattered over the North American continent when Columbus arrived on his voyage of discovery many centuries later, were the DOS +eritv of this band of shipwrecked Celestials.

Stop Doing These Things.

Stop gossiping, grumbling, fidget- ing, and finding fault with the weath- CT.
 Stop saying that fate is against you, nagging and worrying and dwell ing fancied sights and wrongs.
 Scolding and flying into passion over trifles.
 Thinking that life is a grind, and not worth living.
 Talking continually about yourself and affairs.
 Saying unkind things about a:quaint- ances and friends.
 Exaggerating and making noun tains out of molehills.
 Lamenting the past, and holding on to disagreeable experiences.
 Pitying yourself and bemoaning your lack of opportunities.
 Waiting around for chances to turn up. Go and turn them up.
 Writing letters when the blood Is hot, which you may regret later.
 Thinking of yourself, to the ex- clusion of everything and every one else
 Carping and criticising. See the best rather than the worst in others. Dreaming that you would be hap pier in some other place or circum- stances.
 Belittling those whom you envy be- cause you feel that they are superior to yourself
 Dilating on your pains and aches and misfortunes to every one who will listen to you.
 Co1ip0 i5lv into tho f,,turo ,.d dreaming about it, instead of making the most of the present.
 Longing for the good things that others have instead of going to work and earning them for yourself

His Farewell,

A preacher in a backwoods parish bade his flock farewell in these somewhat ironical terms, says the Chicago Journal:
 Brothers and sisters" said he, to the hard-fsted farm folk before him, T can stand this position no longer It seems to me that the Lord does not love this people, for he never takes any of you to heaven. There hasn't been funeral here for six years. It doesn't seem to me that you love one another, for nobody ever gets married. I've not had wedding fee since I came among you
 Tt doesn't seem to me that you love your pastor. for you never pay his salary in full. You eke 1t out with poor potatoes, and wormy ap- ples, and by their fruits ye shall know them Now I am going to a better place. I have been appointed chaplain to the penitentiary. Whither I goat present-ye cannot come. But I go to prepare place for you. Farewell"
