well, that is doubtful state and
I will have to consult the books as
to that
This indicates accurately the real
attitude of the big interests towards
party loyalty and party principles.
They are for the party which will
serve their interests; and it has been
demonstrated during this Congress
on many occasions as we'll as else
where that they maintain support in
both political parties. Senator For
aker and Representative Joe Sibley
look alike to them. Their agents
are the machines ana bosses in both
parties. During the last muncipa!
campaign in Now York City, Repre-
sentative Parsons deliberately
charged a corrupt deal between the
Cannon machine in Congress and the
Tammany hall machine in the New
York legislature by which the Can
non national machine was to aid the
Tammany Hall municipal machine in
defeating in the New York legisla-
ture certain police legislation desired
by the better elements of the repuh-
lican party in that state. A great.
bluff was made by Speaker Cannon,
as to what he would do to Mr.. Par
sons on account of this charge when.
Congress convened; but an expectant
public has waited in vain for one
word of denial, Of investigation, or
protest since Congress met. The
charges were undoubtedly true and
the action of Speaker Cannon Is
equivalent to an admission thereof.
His consideration in the deal was the
support which the New York City
democratic representatives in Con-
gress, under the leadership Of Fitz.
gerald, gave him in the fight for the
maintenance of his autocracy on the
opening of this Congress.
In the light of such notorious cir
cumstances, which could be multi
piled indefinitely, how it must stir
the hearts of loyal republicans to
hear the bugle cry of the Hills and
Guggenheims for the keeping of the
party faith.
Whether or not 1 have kept the
pledges of the republican party is
to be determined by reference to my

bOST0N-NEW YORK
FRUIT MAN HERE
ALFRED w. OTIS, WHOLESALE
DEALER OF FRUIT IN THIS
CITY-THINKS PACKING PLANT
WILL BE A SUCCESS HERE.

Alfred w. Otis, wholesale dealer of
fruits with headquarters at Boston
and New York, has been in the valley
for the past ten days, looking over
the prospects for the coming year.
1t was he who recommended to Nc
Donald & Sons the building of a
packing plant in this city. Speaking
of the packing industry Mr.. Otis says:
THE fruits of California are packed
almost exclusively through packing
plants. So satisfactory has this sys-
tenn been that there has been no in
clination to return to the former me-
thod of individual packing. 1t means
a uniformity of pack and establishes
reputation for the fruit of this COM
munity. Mcdonald & Sons have estab-
lished great reputation throughout
the country and their brand of pack
is accepted through the east and in
European markets without examina-
tion
Locally Interested.
Mr.. Otis has considerable property
in this locality. He owns a house
and lot on D street and is the largest
individual owner in the Valhalla ap-
pie lands. This is his third trip to

then we are safe" Together they urged their ponies
ahead. Just as they dipped down into the shadows
two more shots cracked sharply. The stranger
leaped in his saddle with sharp exclamation, He's

"You-hit?" she choked, feeling gddy and un-
nerved for the space.
"Nothin' much" he wavered "Its only my arm;
just scratch Lets-hurry, hurry!"
The hours dragged on, endlessly Hester gazed
with big expectant eyes into the violet mystic shad-
What strange fellow this man was, to be
sure. What wonderful heart must be his-to give
UP his life for another-for Chip She forgot for the
interval that he was murderer.
How her poor little body ached How heavy her
eyes became The clatter of the hoofs to the trail
were the only sounds sometimes they dislodged

sounded when she asked him the time.
"Its-nearly-four, now," he returned, unsteady.

lately. He no longer rode up alongside when the
was faint she reined in and waited 1t was unusual
that he should do so.
When they crossed the creek half an hour later,
she waited until he approached.
"Do you mind" she said, thoughtfully 'f I wet
a cloth and bind up your armf I'm afraid the loss of
blood is weakening you" The nodded slowly.
Hester got stifiy from her saddle and dipped her
big handkerchief in the cold, racing water and
back. The man had dismounted and was leaning
against his pony.
At her bidding he held out his arm-the right
and she deftly bound UP the ragged, bleeding
wound with the wet cloth. He sighed, heavily.
You're awful-good," he whispered in under
tone you're awful good to me-little
We1l-save Chip yet won't we" and he laughed

She remembered the look of pain that passed ove
his eager boyish face when she uttered the words
She remembered, only too clearly, watching him
ride down the trail toward the camp, with never a
backward glance; and then she sobbing tremuous,
to the little front room, with its wreaths of wild
flowers she had SO eagerly picked, and cried and

How brave, this great, coarse man; how pitifully
weak and cowardly she was.
Determined, she came to her feet and stole to
the mans side. He turned quickly from her touch
"You can't ever find the way down the trail to-
night" she wavered, her eyes filing. "You can't
ever do it. Ill-I' take the other horse-and

She trembled and redeemed as the big stranger

CHILDREN OF THE CIRCUS.

Travel with Parents During Season
 How They Are Educated.
 Tt is nothing unusual for the larger circuses to carry thirty and forty chill dren, ranging all the way from mere babies to boys and girls 15 and 16 years of age" said Jerome s. Rogers, of Chicago, a former circus man, ac- cording to the Washington Herald. ''The majority are travelling with their parents, both the father and mother doing daily duties in the ring. and while often they are trained to follow in the steps of their elders they are seldom allowed to perform in pub lie.
 Tt is a common belief among circus men that the performer whose train ing is not started until after the age of 6 will seldom make distinctive record. I often saw groups of boys. some of whom could not have been oyer 4 or years old, practicing rudi- mentary somersaults and handsprings, while their parents looked on with gratified smiles. These were the fam lilies of the circus aristocracy, who treasure the records of their ancestors with the pride of son in his fathers sword and who see no more inspiring calling for their own children than that of the great white canvas.
 Not that their education is neglect ed in other respects; several of the families often hire an instructor-per- haps one of the performers who has the time and ability for such work to coach their children in the standard studies. One circus, indeed, has now established a travelling school for the youngsters. If they are to be acrobats they are to be educated acrobats"

Logical Gardening.

A lady who had never owned a gar den at last had the opportunity to have one, in which she could do just as she wished. Accordingly. a care full study of the seed catalogues was in order. Her husband one day, says the Louisville Times, came home to find her boring over its "profusely illustrated" pages. She had a long list of seeds written on sheet of pa per.
 This is a list, my dear" she said, that l want you to buy for me to- morrow at the seed mans"
 Her husband looked at the list. Then he laughed.
 You want these flowers to bloom this summer, don't you?" he asked.
 Yes, of course"
 Well, those you have put down here don't bloom till the second sum mer."
 ''Oh, that's all right" said his wife easily. 'I am making up my list from a last years catalogue"

 They hitched me to a nearby tree and held long pow-wow. I figured they were settlin' when to serve me up. and how. At last one fellow goes away, and that was some relief, but it seems that he had been dispatched to fetch the native chief He stayed away so bloomin' long the other dubs got sore. so they sent another fellow off, and that left only four.
 Now, pretty soon the four of 'em began to get so weary they laid up by tree to doze, and that made me some cheery. And when the four be- gan to snore this chicken got right busy-I wiggled and I wrestled with my ropes till I was dizzy. I yanked this way. I pulled that way, I strug- gled like a steer, and squirmed and turned until, b'goshi I pulled out free and clear.
 And did go away from there? Not yet! I wasn't through. Says I, Now, boys, you've played with me. I'll have some fun with you You see, those boys were sound asleep, their backs against that tree. so I took the rope they'd tied me with and went to work with glee. I strung it through the bloomin' rings that dangled from their peaks clean round the tree and tied the ends, and left the dusky freaks.
 'I beat it quickly to the shore where lay a bark canoe, and on my way heard a fuss that tickled me clean through. Those cannibals had started up, but found their noses tied. They fought and mauled each other while I laughed until cried.

Monster Leg with Flesh and Hair
 After Lapse of Centuries.
 Northern Siberia, in particular, was a happy hunting ground of the mann moth and other prehistoric beasts, as, today, it is the happy hunting ground of those who seek relics of the animals of many centuries ago. The remains illustrated on this page were found two years ago on the banks of small stream by natives who were hunting foxes. These men notified the nearest town of their find, with the result that recently the St. Petersburg Academy of Science sent a special expedition to recover the relics, which had been buried in the river bed. The scientists dug up first of all the skull of a mammoth, with part of the skin and flesh and one eye cavity in a good state of preservation. The right hind foot was found next and was also well preserved. The hair covering it was from five to six inches in length. This excellent state of preservation is not

A glimpse of the strenuous and sus- tained battle against ignorance fought by the pioneer teachers of the Old World in the days preceding the French Revolution is given by Rev. E. Gilliat, in a recent book, Heroes of Modern Crusades" It seems almost incredible that conditions so hopeless should need to have been righted in times so near to ours.
 When Monsieur Stouber undertook the pastorate of Ban de la Roche, a territory in the Vosges which belong ed to Protestant noblemen, as feudal lords of the soil, he found the people very wild and ignorant. When he first went there he visited the only school. A number of children were gathered together in a miserable cottage. As noise of scufiing, quarreling and shout ing.
 Silence, children, silencei" he cried Where is your master%
 One of the children pointed to a lit tie old man who was lying on a bed in the corner of the room.
 Are you the master of the school?" asked the pastor, in some dismay.
 Yes, be the master, sir-I be-"
 "Humph, But don't you teach the children anything?"
 No! l don't teach the children nothing-for a good reason"
 Tt must be very good reason in- deed. What is it, my friend?"
 Well. don't know nothing myself. sir, so how am I to teach?"
 But, my good friend, why did they send you here. then?"
 Because, sir. I be too old to take care of the pigs
