reference to statehood matte1
dwindled down to a determl
nation of getting rid of the
troublesome matter and pass
ing it up to the Senate, witt
the feeling that the members
of the Chamber are more in
clined than those of the House
of Representative to fight ou
the problems suggested by the
statehood documents, and con-
sequently there was lament
able lack of popular interes
in the debates in the House
No doubt the principal reason
for this was due to the taci
that the policy of the Demo-
cratic majority has been set
tied in advance, and that ali
efforts to defeat the majority
committee report were destln-
ed to prove futile. There hav !
been just enough speeche'
made on the matter to place
the positions of the different
elements of the Lower House
on record in order that future
campaigns may have the ben
eft Of plenty Of political thun-
der, and the proof Of the posi-
ton of the two great parties.
The Republicans have sought
to uphold the stand of Presi-
dent Taft and have done so in
their minority committee re-
port, as well as during the de-
bates on the New Mexico and
Arizona constitutions. In the
Senate no one need expect
that statehood will fail to pro-
duce a fight equal in bitterness
to that brought out during the
closing days of the last Con-
gress. Unlike the House the
Senate will not be ruled to anv
considerable extent through
the position of political par
ties, and while it may be ex-
pected that the so-called regu-
lar Republicans of the Senate
will support the position of
President Taft, which in the
case of the Arizona matter is
in opposition to the recall pro-
visions of the Arizona consti-
tutions and in the New Mexi-
CO matter for absolute appro-
val of the constitution in its
original form, yet there may
be individual variations of ex-
pressions among this class of
Republicans. The progress
sive Republicans have taken
a position very much like that
of the Democratic majority in

One day q drover came along the
pike with q long string of oxen and
stopped at the Black Bear Inn, and
engaged q pasture for his cattle over
night. The drover was new in that
part Of the country. and for safety he
handed his pocket book. containing
several hundred dollars. to John Hartx
for safe keeping, in the presence Of
Weisgarber. Shortly afterwards when
the drover was out attending to his
cattle. Weisgarber suggested the idea
to John Of changing the good money
in the pocket book for an equal
amount Of counterfeit that he had on
hand. John was easily persuaded. He
thought his step-father knew best. In
the morning the drover received his
pocket book and proceeded to count
It's contents. He at once saw that
the bills were Of q different kind than
those he had been carrying. He
pulled a counterfeit detector from his
pocket and examined them. Having
satisfied himself that they were bad.

After everything had cooled down.
Mr.. weisgarber. in a burst OF gener-
osity, was good enough to loan the
drover one or two hundred dollars to
pay his way until he could reach
Strasburgh. a little town Mt the foot
Of the Three Brother mountains. The
drover was silenced but not altogether
convinced His money was all right
the day before. but he wasn't quite
sure It was Of the right stamp when
he handed II over to the young man
for safe keeping. Here was an exem-
plif,cation Of the little difference be-
tween the truth and lie well stuck
to. Time rolled on and John Hartz'
career in crime became more and
more firmly fixed.

he exclaimed.
A long explanation ensued and the
sheriff was greatly puzzled regarding
his duty. He was convinced that
the accused man was innocent. and
he thought It might b safe thing to
leave him at his home and go back to
the county seat and report before ma.
king the arrest. When he reached
there he was told to return at once
and bring his man. When he got back
to the Black Bear Inn Mr.. Weissarber
was out He had saddled up and
rode away and might not return for
several days. perhaps never. But the
good -natured sheriff didn't see It that
way. He would come back again. or
he might present himself voluntarily
at the sheriff's once.

BEST BABY ALPINE CLIMBER.

The youngest Alpinist in the world
is probably little Flavia Guidini,
daughter of DR.. Joseph Guidini. Of
Turin, Italy. She is only four and
a half years old, and her mother is
an English woman. On September
4, accompanied by her parents, she
performed what is believed to be an
absolutely unprecedented feat for one
of her years, successfully climbing
several of the peaks Of the Mont
Blanc range.
First, on the previous day, she
reached the Mont Frety but, 7,240
feet, making the ascent from Courma-
yeur. Then in six hours she climbed
the Giants Neck, 1920 feet, There
she rested a little while, and next,
crossing the glacier of the Giants
Neck, reached the summit of the Pet
it Flambeau, 11,450 feet The de-
scent to Courmayeur was made in
two days. So far as is known, no
child of anything approaching her
youthfulness has ever even attempt
ed, much less successfully accom-
plished, any one Of these climbs.
