Harris Hammond, the eldest son Of

He had seen one riding on the trucks
under the car, and at the next station
he went down and called the hobo out
When the tramp entered the car ne
was covered with cinders and dust and
looked like something from the lower

Hammond shook hands with him
and introduced him, saying:

ReckIessness and Caution.

Robert S. Lovett, the new president
of the Union Pacific, said of reckless
ness:
"Recklessness in finance doesn't pay,
unless, indeed, it be the cautious kind
of recklessness that Legler, the baker,
was noted for.
"Legler bent over his counter, work
ing away with a pencil and piece OF
wrapping paper, when Mrs. Liscum en-
tered for loaf Of bread.
Noticing on the paper a lot of IA
miliar names, Mrs. Liscum said:
What are you figuring there, Mr.
Legler?"
We'll, ma'am, says Legler, I'm
just putting down the names of all my
friends that l can lick.
lis Harvey Liscums name there?
asked Mrs. Liscum.
Yes said the baker. Yes, got ii
down.
Mrs. Liscum went home and told
Harvey. He was enraged. He snatch
ed his hat and hastened to the bakery
"Legler,' he shouted, is it true what
nv wife tells me-that I'm on the list
of the men you can lick?
Yes said Legler, calmly, I've got
you down, Mr.. Liscum.
why, you little shrimp, roared
Liscum, I could wipe up the floor with
YOU. 1 could eat you alive!'
"Are you sure you could? said the
baker.
You bet I'm sure!' said Liscum,
shaking his fist in Legler's face.

THE PONY EXPRESS.
A Daring Young Rider Who Won a
Name For Himself

Historians of the frontier tell many
stories of adventure Of the pony ex-
press riders who blazed the westward
way for settlement. Among these
| there is no story more thoroughly
typical though there may be other
stories more remarkable. than that
Of a young rider who was assigned
to the important task Of carrying
over his division a large sum of
money. In that mysterious manner
known only to the frontier life the
news of this valuable message was
spread abroad. The rider, realizing
the danger of his trust, fastened this
money to the underside of his sad
die blanket and consigned in it's stead
heavily padded envelopes in the sad
dlebags Carrying his revolver ready
the face of certain danger. In a
lonesome spot in a valley, in spite of
his nerve and expectations. he was
startled by being confronted by two
men who sprang out from the shrubs
to salute him with the words:
Hold! Hands up. Pony Express
Bill, for we know yer, my boy, and
what ye're carr'in'."
Il carry the express, and it's hang
ing for you two If you interfere with
me-" was the plucky response.
"Ah, we don't want you. Billy, un-
less yer force us to call in yer checks,
but it's what yer carry we want"
"It won't do you any good to get
the pouch. for there isn't anything
valuable in it."
I'VE are to be the judges of that,
so throw us the valuables or catch
bullet Which shall 1t be, Billy"
The rider was covered. Mark my
word, men. you'll hang for this" he
said as he unfastened the pouches.
IF you will have them. take them,"
he cried. With this he hurled the
pouches at the head Of one Of the
men, who quickly lodged and turn
ed to pick them up. Instantly the
rider fired upon the other with his
revolver in his left hand. The bullet
shattered the mans arm. Driving
the spurs into the flank Of his mare.
the express rider drove directly over
the man who was stopping to pick up
the pouches. The fallen man, though
hurt Dy the trample OF the morse,
scrambled to his feet as soon as he
could, picked up his rifle and fired
after the retreating youth. On that
remarkable ride this rider made 324
miles without sleep, stopping only for
his meals. For saving the valuable
express he was highly complimented,
and for this and other deeds Of its
kind ne was later highly honored.
When the Union Pacific railroad was
being built this rider entered into
a contract to supply the working
gangs with buffalo meat. Through
this contract he earned the dub OF
Buffalo Bill.-Richard Lloyd Jones In

In response to request to tell of her
early life she began laughingly, dis

1T was finally decided that l had
outgrown the instruction of my tutor,
grave, elderly man, and my mother
sent me to a Canadian convent to COM
plete my education.
THE death of my father and my
mother within a few weeks of each

LAS a rule, the citizens in COM
munities where it is purposed to
have an apple show, are liberal in
their contributions toward the cost
of the show. The small admission
fee charged never pays more than
half the total expense, but the people
in general are more inclined to sup
port an apple show than any other
form of exposition.
1t is to be regretted that the Can
adian National Apple show at Van
couver has not been able to secure
a special grant from the government,
as had been expected. This will be
the first big apple show ever held
in the western Canadian provinces,
and it was expected that the govern
ment would appropriate at least $6,-
900, but the decision went to the
contrary, and an effort to have the
matter reconsidered also failed.

started by the hotel men of that city,
who soon created enough interest
among the business men to guaran-
tee the preliminary plans.
Colorado may have its second
show at Denver this year, but moth
ing definite has been decided upon
as yet.

apple show for the north central dis

WORKING TOGETHER.

1t is remarkable what a change
of sentiment has taken place in
North General Washington within
the past two years with respect to
the feeling of cordially which exists
between the different localities. The
old time jealousy has given place
to a feeling of friendliness and a
desire to cooperate in the work of
building up this section of the state.
1t has been the constant aim of the
Daily World to foster this sentiment
of unity and this policy has result
ed in mutual benefit to Wenatchee
and it's neighboring towns.
The sentiment expressed in the
excerpts taken from up-river papers
which were published in yesterday S
issue, show conclusively that the
people on the upper Columbia ap-
preciate the disposition of Wenat-
chez to cooperate all along the line
and the visit of representatives of
our commercial interests will tend
to cement this bond of solidarity
more strongly.
North General Washington has
come to recognize it's true place in
influence in the affairs of this COM
monwealth.

BUYING Of WATER
OPPOSED
Conrad Rose Does Not Fa.
vor Purchase of Miller
dale Water Right.

Considerable discussion has been
aroused regarding the purchase of
40 shares in the Millerdale water
right. Conrad Rose is much OPP
posed to this purchase, claiming that
it will deprive the ranchers of the
Millerdale district of much water
when they are most in need of it.
o. B. Fuller, of the Wenatchee Real
ty & Investment company, who was
one of the owners of this water right
claims that the ditch carries a full
800 inch flow throughout the sea-
son except for about one month.
Personally he is opposed to making
the sale to the city for the reason
that an offer from private parties
for the amount of water in question
exceeds the offer from the city.

committee in charge of arrangements
has been disappointed in its efforts
to secure the attendance of President

pected nevertheless that both Mexi-
co and the United States will be Of
fIcially represented. Texas and the
Mexican state of Tamasulipas will
have representatives at the opening
ceremonies.
The completion of the new bridge
across the Rio Grande is regarded as
an event of great Importance to in

Immediately the opening of the
bridge, which is owned jointly by the

Railways of Mexico, a new transport
tation route Will be opened from st

of national conservation of resources
as defined by President Taft in his
messages to congress and in his
acts of Withdrawing some rs mil
lions of acres of timber and mineral
lands to prevent them from passing
under the control of great syndi-
Gates.
1t must be refreshing indeed to
the voters on the coast to have on
opportunity to hear man who be-
lieves in fulfilling his campaign
pledges. Over in Tacoma the re-
publican county convention courte-
ously invited Judge Polndexter to
speak before it notwithstanding the
fact that it met primarily for the
purpose of endorsing the candidacy
of General James M. Ashton which
needs tender nursing. The chair
man of the convention in introduce
ing the Judge, said he was the kind
of a man whom they would support
if they did not have a candidate of
their own.
1t is noteworthy that while the
press of the coast indulge IN rank
appeals to prejudice which discount
that of the most rabid fire-eaters of
slavery days, the people there mani
fest disposition to be fair and
open-minded. Judge Polndexter ap-
meals to the heads of the voters, not
to their sympathies and prejudices,
and this style of campaigning wins.

FAVOR APPLE DAY
IN WENATCHEE
Sentiment is Favorable for
Fete Days in the Har-
vest Season.

Since the refusal of the Wenatchee
Commercial club. to participate in the
Spokane National Apple show there
has been a well defined sentiment
created in this city towards having an
Apple Day, or several of them, dur
ing the fall season, at which time the
products of the orchards may be ex-
hibited. 1t is possible that such an
exhibit may not be made here this
fall, owing to the fact that the bust
ness men have on hand all that they
can take care of for the fall season,
but it is very likely that arrange
ments will be made toward an Apple
Day commencing a year from this
fall.
Il believe" said R. F. Holm, that
Wenatchee always has made a mis-
take in the upbuildlng of Spokane by
the exhibiting of Wenatchee apples
there every year. Spokane cares
nothing for Wenatchee only as a
means to her own advancement.
Through the east Spokane is known
as the apple center, when really the
apples which have made Spokane IA
nous are the Wenatchee apples. l be-
lieve that we could get better results
by having a little show here of our
own at which the Okanogan, Cash
mere, Leavenworth, Moses Coulee,
Moses Lake and Ephrata districts
might be asked to participate. Our
first mistake was in abandoning our
county fairs. I believe that as an
advertising medium these fairs are
of great benefit to our people"
Regarding the National Apple show
M. j. Costello, assistant traffic man
ager for the Great Northern, gave out
on the Sound the following interview
regarding the matter. He said:
The Wcnatchee growers have
fought all along for high standard
of fruit grading, and in this they
have my sympathy. The standard
by which apple exhibits are to be
judged, as now prepared by the Of
ficials of the Spokane show, IS con-
demned in Wenatchee as out of date.
In my judgment, the 1910 rules of
4 h. oh ta1yr will
work out to the benefit of the apple
orchards of Oregon, and especially
of the Rogue River district.
"The Wenatchee apple growers OBJ
jected to standards which are suit
ed to the outgrown methods of At
lantic Coast orchards, where apple
growing long has been on the wane.
The objection of the Wenatchee peo-
pie to a lowering in the standard o.
fruit was due to their determination
to maintain the excellence Of their
product.
"It is because of this high stand
dI tHdL w CudtChCC oPpASo al =
known for their excellence and high
quality all over the world, and l am
not surprised in the least that the
Wenatchee men should refuse to
countenance the new rules"
| "All these shows have the same
great purpose in view-to popularize
the apple as a food product, to en-
courage perfection in growing, grad
ing and packing and to extend the
market" said Rem H. Rice, secre-
tary and manager of the third Ma
tional Apple show in Spokane, No
vember IA to 10, on receiving re.
ports of the proposed expositions OF
the king of fruit to be held at Sc.
