the last issues of the Redwood papers

Those circulars headed Washing
ton Would Not, Grant Could Not and

indeed and certainly the people of
this great, free country will not
stand by and see the terrible Teddy,
with his ogre-like teeth, elected as
president for another term for fear
he might put the country in his vest
pocket and that will be the last of US.
Better another term with Teddy at
the helm than a continuation OF
Taft's plumbers and the plumbers of
the Guggenheim crowd. Roosevelt
should be elected president for just
one more term if only for the joy of
seeing him swat that bunch in con-
gress who gave his last message the

SEA DEVILS ARE MONSTERS

Monster sea devils are frequently
caught in the gulf waters off the
coast of Texas. These fish sometimes
weigh as much as $500 pounds. They.
are ferocious in appearance and are
possessed of wonderful strength. The
method of catching them is to throw
a harpoon into their body and when
they have pulled the boat around for
some time and begin to get exhaust
ed, to finish them by means of a few
rife bullets. Many thrilling encoun-
tiers with these giant fish have been
had and not infrequently the daring
sportsmen have had narrow escapes
from being carried far to sea. While
they do not in any way resemble the
devil fish they are frequently given
that misnomer.

Oriental rules, nor is the community
particularly affected by any sense Of
bereavement. But when a prominent

atonement for his soul, and a feast
is spread out before the assembled
mourners.
