THE MAN IN A PINK SHIRT
Plays Stiff Game of Poker, Hunts
a Good Deal and Is Familiar
Figure at Ball Game.

The teleGraphic story Of the events
which threw the fat into the fire in
Mexico and started the war over
again, mentions man in a pink shirt
as the one who led the attack on
.Iuarez. Having touched the spark
to the powder magazine just as the
belligerents were shaking hands for
peace and reformation the man in the
pink shirt passes out of the tele-
graphic narrative and out of the his
tory of Mexico.
Unless this man in the pink shirt
Is an exception, those who live in a
country town know him well. The
pink shirt itself was bought at a
racket store for SO cents. The man
plays stiff poker game, hunts good
deal without reference to the game
laws, and is a familiar figure at ball
games, country fairs and foot races
where betting Is tolerated.
Wagering money on the outcome OF
a ball game Is too slow for him. He
bets on whether the next throw of the
pitcher will be a ball or a strike;
whether the batter misses or breaks
his bat; whether the catcher running
for foul gets or is cut on the barbed
wire fence
1t Is disturbing to know that man
In a pink shirt could oveyrule the gen.
eral of an army and scatter death and
destruction as at Juarez; doubly dis
turbing to believe that he could
change. the destinies Of nation.

VICTOR HUGO'S ACACIA TREE
Planted In Childhood by Author, 1t
Has Just Been Saved From Do
struction In Paris.

An acacia tree, supposed to have
been planted by Victor Hugo In his
childhood has just been saved from de.
struction in Paris. The tree stands IN
the Boulevard Raspail, and its tall,
curved trunk has long been familiar
to the inhabitants of that quarter. A
short time ago a certain M. Charuin
bought the plot upon which it grew for
the purpose of erecting a mansion.
The whole quarter was disturbed at
the news that tree of such traditions
was about to disappear.
When, however, NJ Chaurin heard
that his new mansion was likely to de-
molish the object Of a veneration
with which he sympathized, he altered
his architectural plans spontaneously,
and built a semi-circular frontage to
his house, just inclosing the acacia
within the railings.
The association Of 1t with Victor
Hugo Is disputed by authorities on
that poets life, but one may feel
gratified that tradition retains sucl
vigorous life and that the marking
of places connected with famous men
Is not yet purely municipal in Paris.

SUBORDINATE GRANGE PlCNICS
Attendance Has Been Good and Great
Interest Shown In Lectures and
Speechmaking.

The visit of Oliver Wilson, lecturer
for the National Grange. to Colorado,
resulted in number of picnics
among the Subordinate Oranges of
Colorado. Brother Wilson spoke at
Castle Rock, City Park. Fort Collins
and the Chautauqua at Boulder. He
is the man of the hour and strikes
straight from the shoulder In clear
forceful language Bro. Wilson told
of how the National Grange. the old.
est farmers organization in our coun'
try, had secured practically all the
legislation that has been enacted, d.
rectly favorable to the farming class.
Among the good laws secured by the
organized farmers through the Ma
tional Grange, was the Rural Deliv'
cry" When this bill was first intro
duced there was but one legislator
who had the nerve and strength OF
character to support the measure.
They held up their hands in holy hor'
ror, at the very thought of legislat.
ing for the farmer, who had been
played for a sucker for a century
and they saw no reason why he
should not continue in that role.
However, the Grange persisted and
today nearly fifty millions of farmers
are enjoying rural delivery yet but
few of them realize it was secured
through the efforts of the Grange.
This worthy organization has now
determined to secure the enactment
of a Parcels Post measure into law
and every farmer throughout the
country should give his assistance by
organizing subordinate Oranges and
working for their own interests
through their organizations The at.
tendance at all these Grange picnics
and the interest taken in the speak.
ing was good. If the farmers OF Col.
orado only realized their opportunity
of securing favorable legislation and
better prices for their produce, they
would organize Subordinate Oranges
in every community.

THE WAY THE FARMERS FEEL
Representing U. s. AgricuIturists, the
Grange Has Aided in the Fight
Against Reciprocity.

When the Grange, in many states,
took up the fight against Canadian
reciprocity and declared that 1t rep
resented the sentiment of the farm
ers of the country. there were many
who loudly proclaimed that the farm
ers were being misrepresented and
that the latter We're mot really op-
posed TO reciprocity"
Since then perfect flood of letters
from the farmers has poured in upon
Washington. and no doubt any longer
exists that the farmers of the coun-
try, as whole. are against the
measure, positively and unmistak-
ably. How one Ohio farmer feels
about 1t is seen In an episode be-
tween Deputy w. j. Edgerton OF Bel
mont county, and his congressman,
which shows distinctly the Grange.
farmer sentiment in that state. Mr..
Edgerton wrote the congressman his
views on reciprocity, expressed In
courteous, proper way. The con-
gresham did not think 1t necessary
to reply, evidently. but instead sent
the usual congressional salve-a pack.
age of free seeds. This was little
too much for Brother Edgerton and he
returned the seeds to the donor with
the following letter:
81 see by your recent vote that you
are more interested in the welfare
and prosperity of the farmers of Can.
ada than of those of your district. |
am returning to you the seeds which
came to my address this morning,
with the suggestion that you send
them to some of your Canadian farm
er friends 1t is an insult to any In
telligent farmer to send him bunch
of cheap seeds after you have voted
to rob him of markets rightfulfy his
own This is especially true when
the seeds were purchased with his
money and without consent. Some
of the statesmen (?) of today will
later learn that for every dollar the
purchasing power of the farmer Is
reduced the nation must suffer two
Gold less Allow me to suggest that
YOU later may have plenty of time
to mediate on the fact that farmers
o. your dstrict believe in exact jus.
tice to all classes and will be con.
tent with nothing less. Your
Grange constituents have gone to the
square deal school too long to ac'
cept any apology"
