A PECULIAR WOMAN.
The Born Parisienne, Her Moods. Her
Smile and Her Charm.

The TariSicnne Is not and never has
been representative of the French
woman. although she might be de
scribed as the distilled essence Of all
that is French
She Is too volatile to be typical of the
women of France. She is also bizarre
and the FrenchwOman. broadly speak
ing. never Is. She is gay and morbid
at one and the same moment. She is
eternally young. yet born with the
cynical wisdom Of ages. She is brave
to the point of folly. She Is free from
any faint of prOvinrillis;in and in II
way stands ON II small pinnacle apart
from the rest of wonankind with II
smile that has some fellowship with
that Of the sphinx. Her charm is world
renowned and indispulnhr and of II
peculiar kind
She Is not beautiful. and she is never
merely pretty. but charm runs in her
blood. and 1t Is as natural for her to
use 1t as it is for the sun TO shine
Everything about her is witness to TIN
attribute. and she herself accepts 1t is
a law written by unseen hands. I'M

DERBY procession of the stars" and
powerful as that which brought her
into the world and will one day send
her out of it.-I'nll Mall Gazette.

PERRY SCOTS TURKEY.
This Wonderful Bird Was Wsil Fixed
With leos and Winos.

This Wonderful Bird Was We'll Fixed
With Legs and Wings.
The story Of Perry SCOTS turkey has
come down from Revolutionary days In
Carolina. Colonel Gordon was accus-
toned to tell Of the hasty march which
he made before Rudolph's legion. He
was just sitting down to dinner when
orders were given to cross the Ashley
river. 1t was nearly nightfMll when he
bivouacked in a valley In which the
cavalry under Wayne had just Ell
calnped and. with his officers. began to
sup on dry bread and potatoes. The
infantry which he comma nded were In
Il starving condition. and the commits
sary was without money. but raiding
upon the farmers was stprnly made
punishable by death.
Reports Of the hungry condition Of
the newcomers had circulated among
Wayne's men. Just as the colonel be
gan to eat his musty bread n private
from Wayne's cavalry appeared and
said respectfully: Perry Scott had
some money. colonel. and bought n
all but one leg. took the liberty Of
bringing that to you The colonel
took the leg gratefully and had scarce
ly finished 1t when another Of Wuyne's
men appeared with the same story IT

The colonel congratulated himself OH

tent 1t was growing dark. Another
cavalryman came up. whispered the
story Of Perry Scott and cautiously
handed over u third leg. The colonel
continued his walk through the camp
and before his return had been secretly
offered twenty legs and fourteen wings
of Perry SCOTS turkey.
Wnyne'S men had raided n poultry

protect themselves in case any turkey

The Board Of Equalization

The actions of no meeting of the
county board of Equalization in this
county have been awaited with more
interest than those of this year,
which began it's sessions this morn
ing. The cruise of the county tim
Der is an accomplished fact, after
many years of agitation and delay
and the average taxpayer, amazed at
the exposures of tax lodging made
by the Aberdeen herald, is at last
aroused to the injustice that has long
been dealt him with impunity and is
determined upon square deal this
year, or to know just who is respon
sible If he fails.
No doubt the timbermen will raise
objections to the cruise, and it doubt
less contains errors. Estimating tim
Der is not an exact science, yet it is
upon just such estimates it is bought
and sold, and they must answer fol
taxation purposes. Where error is
claimed, the burden of proof is on the
owner, just as it is upon the owner
of any other class of property who
comes before the board asking the
correction of an error.
Assessor Jones is quoted in the
press as saying that the board OIL
commissioners had gone over the tim
Der values with him, and he did not
anticipate any material reductions
from the rolls as they stand. The
board should not only stand behind
the assessor, but should accept the
official cruise as final. until error is
plainly shown. When demand is made
for a recruise, deposit covering its
cost should be eXacted, to be refund
ed if the contention of the applicant
is found just To do otherwise might
result in putting the county to the
expense of almost a second cruise.

Probe Hanford Case to Roots

Representative Berger. of Milwau-
kee, Wis, urges Attorney General
Wickersham to convene federal
grand jury at Seattle and have it
investigate the record of eX-Judge
Hanford and especially the circum-
stances connected with his resigna-
ton.
1t is to be hoped in the interests of
the judiciary and of the public that
the course advised by Mr.. Berger will
be adopted The people were left in
the dark by the judge resigning un-
der fire and by the simultaneous ces-
sation of the congressional investiga-
ton that he was undergoing Natural
al and justifiably the public is dissat-
isfied with the situation that ensued.
The people have not the exact and &C.
curate information to which they are
entitled in order to Judge rightly and
fairly as to the accused former off,
cial. They have no positive and trust
worthy knowledge about the real mer-
it's of the case. All is assertion and
surmise.
Mr.. Hanford resigned two months
before he could have retired regular
ly on pay for life. This in itself is
suspicious feature. 1t alone is
enough to justify the position that his
resignation should not be accepted
and that investigation should continue
and probe the former judges public

individuals Responsible

Corporations do not do wrong. In
dividuals DO wrong, the individuals
who direct and use them for selfish
and illegitimate purposes, to the in
jury of society and the serious cur
tailment Of private rights. These huge
industrial organizations we continue
to treat as legal persons, as individ-
uals. which we must not think of as
consisting Of persons, within which
we despair of enabling the law to pick
out anybody in particular to put either
it's restraint or its command upon. 1t
is childish. it is futile. We must make
