81. 900 ASK ROOSEVELT TO COME
More Petitions Urging Him To Attend
Fair To Be Forwarded Soon.

After weeks OF work the state fair
management has called in all the
Roosevelt petitions, containing thou
sands OF names, asking the ex-presi-
dent To attend the fair, and will pre-
sent them to Mr.. Roosevelt person
ally.
In all there have been 1924 sigma
lures secured to the petitions, and as
no definite refusal has been received
from the colonel, the fair officials
think the chances are a little better
than even that he will be present some
time during the week.
Roosevelt has not been heard In
Michigan since he was president and
there are thousands of people In the
state who would travel many miles to
hear the country's most famous citi-
gen. The Board OF Commerce has
taken an active interest In urging
Roosevelt TO attend and united efforts
from many influential sources will, 1t
Is believed, secure his presence.

Carl Christensen, who aspires to the
office Of county auditor, is one of the
pioneers Of Chelan county, coming here
eighteen years ago and locating at
Leavenworth. For nine years he was
employed as a clerk in F. A. Lose
kamp's general mercantile store.
In 1902 he was elected clerk
of the court for Chelan county. In
1904 he was reelected to this Office,
and during his two terms discharged
the duties of this office in careful and
efficient manner. For the past few
years he has been engaged in the real
estate and insurance business, and has
made his residence in Wenatchee. Mr..
Christensen is identified with the pro-
gressive and insurgent element in the
republican party, and is making the
race squarely on this issue. He be-
lieves that his long residence, vide ac-
quaintance and experience in county
affairs will give him the nomination he
is seeking.

Sacrificed Their Lives In an Attempt
to Save the Colors.
In days gone by the Zulus were
the boldest fighters among all the ma
tives Of South Africa, and it was not
until they had been defeated in sew
eral battles that they would live in
peace with white people.
In 1873 1900 Of the Zulus attacked
and killed a regiment Of British sol
diers, and a most heroic deed was the
attempt made by three British sol
dieTs to save the two flags, or colorS,
belonging to the regiment
When it was seen that the ZuIus
were so many that there was no hope
OF keeping them at bay the colonel Of
the British regiment called to a young
officer whose name was Lieutenant
Melvin and said, ''You will take
charge Of the colors, MeIvill, and try
to get away from here"
The lieutenant saluted and took into
his hands the two colors of his regi-
ment Then, with another officer and
Il soldier, all mounted on horses, he
suddenly dashed away with his pre-
CiOus burden.
They were at once seen by the keen
sighted Zulus. however, and after a
long chase the three gallant English
men, fighting to the last, were killed
by the enemy.
Some time afteTward one of the flags
was found near a rocky stream, where
1t was taken to England and presented
to Queen Victoria
And in memory Of the three brave
soldiers who had died while defending

A Amusing Adventure In the Surf on
the West Coast of Africa
Told by Traveller.

West Africa is known to all naViga-
tors for its few harbOrs and it's heavy
surf, which at certain seasons RACES
ike a battle, defying the white man
who would approach its shores. The
author Of The Jungle Folk Of Africa" I"
Mr.. r. II. Milligan, tells Of a success
fuI, and to the observers an amusing,
effort to reach shore at a point where
the surf did not seem to be impossible
One day when the beach seemed
much better than usual the captain
and the ships surgeon ventured ashore.
The captain afterward narrated the
adventure of their landing to a small
but enthusiastic audience. He said
that after waiting outside the surf half
an hour the headman suddenly gave
the order, and in a moment they were
In the breakers, riding on the top Of
one Of them and speeding toward the
shore at the rate Of seventy miles an
hour"
The captain was in the bow of the
boat, well braced and cushioned. But
when the boat struck the beach with
the force Of a railway collision the
doctor was thrown violently over two
thwarts into the captains bosom,
whom he claSped about the neck with
a steel-lilze grip.
The next moment another breaker
picked the boat up and hurled it upon
the beach, throwing both captain and
doctor TO a perfectly safe distance,
where they sprawled upon the sand.
The doctor, still hugging the captains
neck and very much frightened, ex-
claimed

anybody killed but you and me-"

What They Lacked.

There is a certain naval officer of the
United States who is very much op-
posed to the use Of profanity by the
officers under his command. Indeed,
he has been known severely to repri-
mand in private officers on his ships
heard to address their men in profane
terms.
The following story is told concern
ing this admiraPs command of a squad
ron engaged in target maneuvers in
Magdaiena bay, Lower California. The
commanding officer observed one day
that the men Of his ship, the flagship,
seemed to lag behind the crews OF the
other vessels Of the squadron, being
the last to finish the execution of a
command or to carry out a maneuver.
He mentioned this fact to his captain.
Just as the latter was about to reply
there came floating over the water
from the vessel standing by the dag-
ship q VoIey Of oaths, the result of
which was that there was some pretty
hustling on the part OF the men ad-
dressed

A Kindred Feeling.

Justice Harlan Of the supreme court

years ago, when there was tried be-

counsel was a lawyer whose head was
quite devoid Of hair. The day was
cold and damp and the room In which
the sitting was had was badly heated
1t was not long before counsel had be-
gun his argument that he said:
Your honor, | must pause long

demanded.
'Oi did" was the direct reply.
And did he give any reason for at
