Paul clagstone did not accept the

Paul Clagstone did not accept the
nomination for governor on the third
party ticket in this state, although
he held the offer under prayerful
consideration for a number of days,
until, as he said, he could come north
to Spokane and consult with his per-
sonal friends and advisers. Mr.. Clag-
stone said he considered the prof
fered nomination "a great honor,
especially in view of the fact that
he had been urged by "the way-ups'
to accept it, and that it required time
to consider before coming to final
conclusion to reject it, Had Clag-
stone stood firmly by his first declar-
alton of rejection, over which he was
heroized by the press of the state,
there would have ben no grounds for
criticising him. But he says himself
that the proposition to become the
third party candidate for governor,
after having ran for the nomination
for that office on the republican
ticket and being defeated by a mar
row margin, was so seriously consid-
cred by him as to require the COM
bined counsel of his near friends to
keep him from accepting the same.
Then following the decision to not
accept, and in making the announce
ment Of that decision to the leaders
of the third party movement I'm this
state, he nulified whatever good ef-
fects, or feeling of confidence he
might have inspired in the public
breast by declaring that he was heart
lily in sympathy with the third party
state ticket and would come out
and work for it's election as against
the republican ticket with which he
would have been associated had he re-
ceived the republican nomination for
governor. This certainly puts Clag-
stone in a very peculiar, and, it
might be said, inconsistent attitude.
Had GLADSTONE received twenty more
first and second choice votes in the
primary he would have been the re-
publican nominee for governor. and
would now be associated with and sup
porting i'm the present campaign the
members of the republican state
Ticket which he is now opposing; and
would have been opposing the very
men he has openly declared he will
now support with enthusiasm" To
A change of ten votes

publican nominee for governor to
Mr.. Clagstone's credit column, would
have changed the whole moral status
of the candidates as we'll as the polit-
cal aspect of the universe, and what
IS now recognized by him as BLACK"
would be dazzling white Admit
ing that GLADSTONE is sincerely pro
sressive in his views and sympathies,
ne certainly has succeeded In getting
his wires badly crossed in the pres
ant campaign, and would clearly man
fest the strongest mark of wisdom
Ind discretion he has yet displayed
by quietly refining into the back
ground until after the present cam
paigm Is over.

MENAeERIE A COSTLY THING
Captured Animals Cost Circus Man No
Small Penny, Though Their
Value ls Fluctuatlna.

"T want to take little 'Georgie' to
see the animals is what every father
says when he starts away from home
on-his annual visit to the circus, and
the same bluff goes for little Gwendo-
len on Commonwealth avenue and lit
tie Mike" at the north end. Fond
relatives always are glad of the ex-
cuse to teach the youngsters all about
the animals-and see the circus them
selves--but the chances are that they
do not appreciate the true significance
of a menagerie. To the circus Wis
itor 1t means strange animals and
thrills, popcorn and peanuts. To the
circus company 1t means something
like $750,000, says the Boston Tran
script. This figure, however, is by
no means arbitrary, for the value of
wild beasts fiuctuates remarkably. To
day the value of rhinoceros may be
$4,000, but let few more rhinos be
hauled from their African lairs and
be put on the European market, and
! the value per animal may drop so
per cent
Another thing that affects the valu-
alton of wild animals is the question
as to whether they are acclimated or
/ green" The mortality rate among the
ilatter-animals fresh from the jungle
is exceedingly high. The wild ami
NAL that has demonstrated the fact
that 1t can live in cage, particularly
cage that hops, skips and jumps
over the country with circus, has
more than tripled his value.
A fresh chimpanzee from Africa Is
worth from $500 to $1,000. Let this
tinued existence that cage life is
not mortally tedious to him and i'm
mediately his value leaps to $1,000.
Another instance is the giraffe. In
spite of the fact that 1t is a rare
beast, its market value Is only about
$1,000. The simple reason for this
Is that the giraffe in captivity has
istence that the average Snowman
does not care to gamble $1,000 on it.
The elephant market auctuates a
great deal. The price of green" ele-
plant runs from $1,000 to $4,000. Get
that elephant used to captivity and his
value jumps; but train him to stand
on his head, ring bell, beat drum
or balance himself on rolling ball,
and Immediately his value scars. That
Is why the herd of 40 elephants In one
big show is valued at more than $780,
900. The animals born each winter in
the menagerie of a large circus are
worth about $4,000

Japanese WeddIno.

From beginning to end, curiously
enough, religion does not play even a
small part in a Japanese wedding. No
priest appears at any stage. On the
evening of the great day, the bride,
with white silk covering on her head
and face. and entirely dressed In pure
white-not the color of Joy, but of
deep mourning, for the girl Is now
parting forever from her parents,
more 80, indeed, than If 1t was death
that had taken her away, for after
death her spirit would continue to be
present in the home of her childhood,
whereas now both body and spirit are
gone-is carried to her new home
There she changes her mourning for
festal garb. A feast is celebrated
the young couple withdraw
and in the presence of only
the middleman and his wife and of
two young girls who act as servants,
they pledge each other in very solemn
form, three times from each of three
cups. This ceremony is the
essential part of the marriage celebra-
tion."-Japan of the Japanese. by Jo-
seph H. Longford.

Betrayed by His Collar.

References which appeared satisfac-
tory had been placed in the hands of
the renting agent, who was on the
point of declaring them unnecessary
owing to the general appearance of
the applicants, when suddenly he ex-
claimed: 'By the way, I'm sorry, but
don't believe / can let you have that
fiat after all. It's been spoken for"
When the possible tenants had de-
parted Indignantly the agent said: do
you know what made me change my
mind SO suddenly? 1t was their dogs
collar. In lifting the little fellow to
pet him / read the inscription on his
collar, and saw it was engraved with
four different addresses, all of which
had been put on since last tax day.
Three Of the addresses had been
scratched out. If those folk had Sc
cured my fiat another would have been
scratched out and fifth added by
day after tomorrow. A dogs collar
marked up like that shows that his
owners don't stay in one place long
enough to get new plate on his col
lar between moves, and don't care to
rent to transients."

FoIIInu a Briber.

The justice of the peace was in the
south and marked state of ignorance.
He was approached by man desiring
a divorce, and he did not know what
to do. Calling a friend to his side, he
whispered:
whats the law on this p'int?"
you can't do It," was the reply.
IT'S out of your jurisdiction"
The husband, observing the consul
tation and feeling keenly his desire to
escape from the matrimonial woe, ex-
claimed:
"I'm willin' to pay we'll; got the
money right here in my SOCK"
At this the justice assumed his grav-
est judicial air. Obviously he was
deeply panied. Never before in all
his life had he been so bowed down
by grief.
"You knew before you came here, "
he said sadly, that 1t wasn't for me
to separate husband and wife, and yet
you not only take up the valuable time
of this court by talking, but you actu-
ally propose to bribe me with money.
Now, how much have you got in that
sock?"
About $3.50, your honor"
"Is that SO? Then / fine you IS
for bribery and $3.50 for taking up my
time with a case out of my jurisdic-
tion; and may the Lord have mercy
on your soul!"-Popular Magazine.

Power of the Mind.

Some people give up all mental ef-
fort as soon as they get sick or af-
fiicted, but there are some minds that
no pain or suffering can subdue. The
most powerful warship afioat, which
was launched in the Thames in Eng
land last February, was built by a
man who can neither sit nor walk.
The most famous of our racing yacht
designers is blind. but he could build
boat that was good enough to de-
fend the America cup year after year.
