Travellers Tales

"a man with toothache can de-

erman,' said the man with the solemn
visage and swollen jaw, as he handed
the hotel reporter a match and told
him to get a cigar to accompany it.

to me got quite chesty and said they'd
rather have a tooth pulled than sit
down to good meal. In fact, it seemed
to me that all my friends had at some
time in their lives had one exquisite
moment of bliss and it's highest cul-
mination was reached when the dentist
got his tools on an aching tooth.
"Well, picked out dentist in town,
one who was highly recommended for
his gentleness, lovable disposition
and whose reputation for never having

A RARE APPLE TREE.

Out in Washington there is a singl
apple tree for which the owners re-
Gently refused $50, 900.
In that land of high-priced apples
this rare tree is much sought because
1t produces an entirely new sort of
apple which keeps longer and retains
it's flavor better than any type the
state has been able to produce so far.
This tree stands on the edge of Lake
Chelan and is called Chelan in honor
OF the lake.
Legend has it that the tree which
Is about twenty years old, grew from a
seed planted by an Indian. OF an en-
tire handful of seeds sowed by the
redskin but three grew-and this tree
which produces a remarkable new
type of golden apples came from one
Of the only three seeds which grew.
Last year the fruit from the Chelan
tree took frs. prize for new variety of
apple at the National Apple show and
first came into national fame.
Boxes of the famous apples are said
to have been kept in storage for two
years without marked deterioration,
and many nurseries have tried to get
control Of the tree and market the
marvellous now type of apple.

WEDNESDAY, JAN. rs, 1911,
HORACE GREELEY.

Feb. 8 will be the hundredth ami
sersary of the birth of Horace Greeley
Some of his admirers have planned to
erect a memorial monument to this
distinguished journalist at Chappaqua,
Y. Y, near his old farm.
Horace Greeley was a great editor
and did much for America, especially
TOR the west. He was unfortunate in
having gone into politics personally
and his candidacy for the presidency
dimmed his reputation to some ex-
tent. AS an editor he was powerful
but as a politician he was failure,
from the time that he failed to heed
the advice of his former intimate
friend, Thurlow Weed.
For many years the distinguished
triumyirate of Greeley, Seward and
Weed dominated the politics of New
York state, and thereby of the nation.
Thurlow Weed thoroughly believed
that an editor should not hold any
official position and this was the cause
of the dissolution of the partnership
in power between theSe men.
When the Chicago convention of
1860 was held Weed desired Seward
nominated for the presidency and for
the first time Greeley was on the 9TH
err side and supported Lincoln. He
was nominated and this event nearly
broke the heart of Thurlow Weed. One
of his letters to a fri nd read as fol-
lows: TT was a wicked conspiracy
against great and a good man, but
believe Mr.. Lincoln will be elected
and we will not be disappointed in
him." This letter was written with an
old quill pen and the original is in the
possession Of the write of these lines.
So close was the controversy that the
night before the convention met,
Greeley sent word to his paper that
Seward would probably receive the
nomination. Greeley's work, however,
was largely responsible for the nomi-
nation of the rail splitter of the Illinois
prairies and the consequent elevation
of Mr.. Lincoln to the post of chief ex-
ecltive which position he so ably filled
through the long and trying days OF
the rebellion.
There is much in the life of Greeley
as an editor to be commended and it
is especially appropriate that schools, !
colleges and public officials study his
character and anaIyze the effect of his |
life and writings upon the history of |
this country.

out He said that was all right, for
me just to sit down, and / sat.
HE looked into my mouth as far
as he could, for l couldn't get it
wide open, and then he shook his
head and said he would have to take
it out. but that / wouldn't feel it a
bit. He talked soothingly to me. Then
he brought in handsome young lady.
and she stood by and looked pleased,
just as though the taking out of a
tooth was real pleasure, and hon
estly between the two, soothed by the
doctor and fear that the lady would
think me a piker, / consented. / al

in dentists office. Now / know
It's to intimidate the men.
Il opened my houth as wide as I
could and the dentist got his ex-
tractor. If | could have got out of that
seat thered been no extracting done
that day. Some times I think I was
hypnotised. Anyway the dentist placed
the forceps in position and the next
minute ! thought the top of my head
had fallen in, or somebody had let
grindstone fall on 1t, and then there
was crash and the cussed thing
was over After a minute or two
asked the dentist how much 1T cost
and he said he wouldn't charge me a
cent il I'd tell him how / kept it In.
He said that it was SO loose that liz
had stood on my head it would
have fallen out. No, it don't hurt to
have tooth pulled--after you're dead"

Bismarck Tribune: The arrest of
the former state treasurer and the con
dition of affairs in the reasurer's of
flee has been subject of frequent
and interested comment in the past
day or so, and about the plainest les
son from the whole transaction is that
the laws of the state providing for the
safeguarding the state funds are based
upon sound sense and wisdom and that
the official who even temporarily dis
regards the plain letter of the law in
the disposition of state funds takes
the first step toward trouble and pos
sible disgrace This whole matter has
been the occasion for common rumor
for several weeks, finally eliminating
in criminal proceedings. There is no
one but feels regret that it is ever nee
essary to bring a criminal prosecution
against an official who is charged with
the performance of public duties. But
the whole matter is indicative of the
necessity of strict obedience of the law.
if difficulty and trouble is to be avoid
ed
An irregularity in the handling or
public funds grows easily into a mai
administration of the affairs of office.
The laws of the state are very clear
upon how the public funds shall be
safeguarded. Under the strict letter OF
the law. an official cannot find him
self in trouble, for the banks in which
the funds are to be deposited are Of
ficialy designated, are protected by
bonds. and once the treasurer has de-
posted his funds in these banks in
lawful manner his responsibility ENDS.
The appointment of an investigating
committee by the legislative assembly
may throw some light upon further
means by which the funds of the state
should be safeguarded, and If any fur
Their legislation is necessary it ought to
be passed
whether the state loses anything by
the transactions which have led to the
criminal proceedings that have been
Instituted, the whole matter Is unfor-
tunate not only for the state, which
gets an unenviable and undesirable
publicity, but to the former state
treasurer himself. and the results of
an irregular and Illegal handling of
state funds become painfully apparent
i'm this case. To feel genuine SYM
pathy for any one pidSSa al thAS Po~
sition is not to say that the causes
for it are the less reprehensible. The
incident ought to have its weight as
a lesson to officials charged with q
public trust to maintain that rust in
violate and not to be swayed from it
bv temporary expediency or Political
OR other necessity. There is only one
middle ground of safety in the dis
charge of a public trust and thai is
strict and ,:xact compliance with TIE
letter and spirit of the law Any other
course is fraught with danger of UNI

THE AuLD BRIG.

The Aud Brig was written sew
eral years ago as a protest against
the destruction of the auld brig o.
Ayr. The verses were copied into
various Scottish publications at
that time.
Spare the auld brig, We Scottish men;
Look kindly on its arches there,
Ere it's too late, all, pause again,
Wreck not the good auld brig of AYR.
What centuries on its arches hang;
And yet, thru all how we'll t has
stood!
Forbear to do a "kennen wrang"-
The auld brig has defied the flood.
Detied the power o. wintry blast.
Stood like the hills the test O. time,
And shall it fall by man at last?
Q man! How prone to ruthless
crime!
Spare the aud sbrigye little ken
WhatE1nenories cling around each
How dear t has grown to Scottish
men,
How far around the world tits
known.
Ye little know with what concern
The world awaits your threatened
deed
Spare the auld brig that We may earn
The honor few Scotia need.
Despite the heather IL We must;
up-tear the thistle from it's bed,
Betray a patEint,s sacred trust,
Turn traitor cen where s'WaIlace
bled"- 5s
Aye, do all this: yet have care,
Your highest honor IS still at stake
Pause ere We reach the banks o. Ayr
And spare the brig for Burnss sake.
