me to call the attention OF the gen

Of some method for the equalization

following the rule established by the
constitution. assess the land in theiI

assessment Of this year will be the
basis Of taxation until 1916. and the
importance of having a uniform as
sessment Throughout the State can
not be oyercstimated-
Equal to Emergency.
AT this late day of the session
il msy not be possible 10 adopt the
wisest measure Of equalization. but
as our finances will be affected fol
five years and our plans OF progress
halted. am confident that the wis
dom end patriotism of the general
assembly is equal to the emergency
and that a measure will be adopted
which will result in great good even

John Lind was nominated for Gov
ernor by the democratic state con-,
vention last week but he absolutely
refuses to accept the nomination or
the office in case he should be elect
ed. He made this plain to the party
managers as we'll as to his friends
before the convention but they did
not take him seriously and now they
have discovered to their sorrow that
Mr.. Lind is a man Of his word. The
democrats, therefore, are all at sea
as far as the candidate for Governor
is concerned and the Sheaf would
suggest to them that they make it
unanimous for Governor Eberhart.
1t would be no more than returning
the compliment for past favors.

Legal Advertisements at Legal Rates.

The Wright brothers have the pat
ent on aeroplanes or heavier-than.
air flying machines, hence own a
monopoly of that kind of aerial craft.
No one else can build an aeroplane
without being in danger of infring-
ing on their patent. This monopoly,
we believe, will do much to hinder
progress in aerial navigation, as the
risk Of a lawsuit with the Wrights
will deter many men with inventive
minds from making experiments in
that direction. The magazine, Human
Life, for August, advocates the pur-
chase of Wright's patents, even if a
million dollars should be necessary
to do so, and make the invention &C
cessible for the free use of the peo-
pie. We believe there is much merit
in the proposition. There ought to
be no monopoly of the air, nor of air
craft

Musical Announcement.

Because the Bankers were always
doing ridiculous things in a ridiculous
way nobody was surprised at their
sending out mysterious Invitation to
something, presumably musicale, be.
cause the notice consisted of just four
bars of music; but everybody was sur.
pr1sed that the invitation should have
been mailed several days after the
printed date, which was June 15. One
man who never liked to miss anything
called Barker up and told him how sor-
ry he and his wife, were that they
didn't get the invitation in time.
''Invitation?" said Barker.
Eyes, to your musicale. It just came
this morning"
Barker sent back an embarrassed
cough over the wire.
II am afraid you didn't understand J,
he said. THAT was my wife's way of
letting you know It's a boy. From THE
Messiah you know-'Unto us a son
Is born"
"Oh," said: the other man. Then he
added: Those crazy Barkers!"

The Banner supports the candidacy
of William Forsberg, of Warren, for
the republican nomination for sheriff,
because we believe him to be the
best fitted man for the Office in the
county, (and if we may say it here,
it takes a pretty big office to fit Billy,
too). We also believe that he is the
only man who stands any show Of
being nominated at the republican
primaries, with all due respect to his
opponent. It's the man that voters
consider now days more than the,
party, and since Mr.. Forsberg has
made an honorable and efficient Of
flcer in the past, it is the least to
be expected that he will be support
ed by his party at the republican pri-
maries in September and returned to
office in ovember-Argyle Banner.

this issue. Mr.. Bjorklund was a can
didate for the same position a num-

OF THE NATIVE SERVANT.
Ludicrous Experience Of an American
Residing There During the Mem
orabie Santiago Shock
of 1906.

"The South American servant Is
usually most considerate Of your com
fort, but he is not apt to use his
brain very much.' said John H. Gil
NOR, an American who has passed
most Of his life below the equator.
During the earthquake in Santiago
de Chile In 1906 my cook refused to
go upstairs to help me save some
clothes and valuables, but unthinking-
~ risked her life to get me a bottle
Of whisky. tN@z
II was at the Union club early in
the evening of August 16, and some
OF us were shaking dice for drinks.
When the first shock came l, not be-
ing used to earthquakes, ran out into
the patio. My companions jeered me
when went back to the table. We
got busy with, the dice again, and
pretty soon came the grand shock,
that lasted three minutes and forty
seven seconds. There was no jeering
this time, but everybody made for the
front door.
my house was about FIVE blocks
from the club, btu all the lights were
out, the streets were pitch dark, and
1t seemed an hour before got there,
though I was running as hard as l
could. There was light in the dining
room, and everything was on the floor.
I shouted for my wife. but she, the
servants and the dog were gone.
while was turning off the gas,
Abtonia, our cook, who was an Arau-
canaan Indian, came to the front door.
Master, for Gods sake get out,
she cried.
"She told me that my wife had gone
to the Alameda, a wide street some
distance away, and would wait for me
there.
1T was midwinter and bitterly cold.
l ran into the house again and up
stairs to get some wraps, and begged
Antonio to come with me to help find
them and some valuables, but she
would not. She ran to the kitchen
and fetched candle and then caught
the things as I threw them into the
patio. When I got downstairs she had
made them all up into bundle.
II put on heavy overcoat, and
we started for the Alameda. AS l ran
I felt something humping against my
legs. I reached into my pocket and
drew out bottle of whisky Antonia
though she would not go upstairs,
which was fairly safe, had ducked in
to the bodega or wine closet, the most
dangerous sort of place in an earth
quake, and dug out the whisky. ,
Everybody in the city who could
get there. was in the Alameda, and
there was such throng that l could
not find my wife. We searched about
the spot where Antonio had left her,
but there was not sign.
1--WE walked about calling her name,
but it was not until 2 o'clock in the
morning that we found her. Then it
was by our little fox terriers recog-
nizing my voice, and coming and leap
ing toward me. I found my wife and
the other servant sitting on the curb
near by. We Communicated a vacant
carriage, and my wife and I lived in
it for two nights

THIS A MOST UNHAPPY CAT
Everything and Everybody Seemed in
Conspiracy to Make the Unfor-
tunate Feline Miserable.

-NebuchaneZzer was the unhappiest
cat in Christendom, and there was
some reason for it. He felt very much
as If he were imprisoned in a wire
cage, just like the fool canary bird
And that bird was part of it. Hav-
Ing an acute sense Of hearing, the
song of this feathered nuisance dis
turbed Nebuchanezzer to the bottom
OF his being. In plain, unvarnished,
up-to-date English, it made him sore.
Time after time he'd tried to get
that bird, but they'd made the cage
strong enough to keep tiger out, and
the last time some one caught him
climbing up, and welted him with a
barrel stave. s--~
Then grandma was so blamed deaf
that 1t was an outrage. Nebuchanez-
zer ragged about it. She had slam
med the pantry door on his tail, and
when he remarked bitterly about it
she thought some one was calling her
and left him there.
Then underneath the refrigerator
was the incest place to sleep. They
had dishpan put under the refrigera-
tor to catch the dripping ice water,
and In summertime all cat had to
do was to curl right up against It and
sleep In peace.
Then they got careless about the pan,
and one night it overflowed and del
uged him, giving him bad cold, and
making him so hoarse he couldn't at
tend the annual concert Of the Moe
turnal Felines' Back-Fence Joy club.
And he had been counting on going.
Nebuchanezzer had other griefs, too.
How was he to know that milk in q
crock on the table was different from
milk In saucer on the floor? It
wasn't right to hit him with a pan
when he made such q mistake
Altogether, Nebuchanezzer was un-
happy He sulked. He loafed about
and got stepped upon, and was gener-
ally 50 disagreeable that they decided
he needed tablespoonful Of castor
oil. And he got.
But they paid for 1t, confound them!
Nebuchanezzer bit and scratched, and
tha man who had the spoon said things
he ought never have said in the pres
enoe OF children. and wiped the blood
on his hand on his best trousers.
But even this didn't make Nebuchar
neEzer happy. He went back IN the
yard and lay down under the goose
berry bush and wished he were dead.
But shucks! What's the use. Of .
cat wishing thatf II he.got his wish,
he'd have to get eight more. Calves
