TREATING.
BY George Fitch,

Treating is an American pastime.
effort to prove that all Americans
are crazy
Treating is the process OF drink
ing drink which you do not want
In order to buy another man Il drink
which he probably doesn't want, and
then drinking another drink which
you want still less in order to give
him the opportunity of paying you
back before you can consider him
a tghtwad who would rather squan-
der his money on hats for his wife
friends.
This. however, is only the begin
ming OF a treat. Then the firs, man,
having drunk two drinks which he
doesn't want, and drinks third on
himself which is as unwelcome as a
ninth cousin at Thanksgiving.
After which two other mer come

which he hasn't room for and also
buys drinks for the two newoo mers.
Then each OF the two newcomers
buys drinks for the other three. al
ter which the original treater -epays
the new obligation by buying til.

and drinks for the two newcomers
and another for himself. which he
has 10 push down with swab Then
the treatee Indignantly demands thai
he be allowed to square himself and
he buys drinks for all the four and
| for three strangers who have drop
ped In and who Immediately prove
buying drinks for everybody. Then
the original treater, having poured
the ninth. tenth and eleventh drinks
on his hair. buys barrel of refresh
ments for the other six men and four
more whom he goes out and drags In
by force. gives his watch To the bar
tender. tells the free lunch the story
of his freshly picked young life and

az allotment of farming land and let
him work out his own salvation.
And he saw the injustices and the
follies which characterized our ma
tion's treatment OF the Indians thir-
ty years before Helen Hunt Jackson
woke up the rest OF the world to 1t.
In his home life this famous trail
breaker was as domestic as Jane
Austen herself could have wished.
He married twice. His second wife
was Mexican girl of fine family
and his devotion to her was as big
and simple and complete as the man
himself.
An army officer was introduced to
Carson once.
So this is the distinguished Kit
Carson. who has made so many In
dians rum" exclaimed the officer.
The remark bored Carson.
Yes" he said quietly, Il have
made some Indians run. but much OF
tlt 'iiii' AntN were running utteI
me"
But all the s;Ane for all OF his mod
esty. domesticity and saneness. Kit
Carson loved adventure AS much AS
any boy. An old Californian. who
had known Carson as young man
and had then drifted himself into n
/ Guicter way of life. told OF meeting
Kit one day In 1852. The very
sight of the man reused all the old
wanderlust and yearning for adven-
ture. II made him homesick and he
! wanted to pull up stakes and join
the scout at once. He told him so.
We'll, Jake" said Kit, I'VE have
only one life To live and In living II
we should make the most of our OPP
portunities."
And Jake went along with him.
One OF the most characteristic
small things Carson ever did was
the pursuit OF band OF Grow horse
thieves when the scout. then only 22
was employed as hunter at Bent's
J Fort. fur trading post ON the Ar
kansas River. The Crows. sixty In
number. had driven off the horses
belonging to the post. Carson. with
twelve companions ON foot and two
friendly Cheyenne Indians ON horse
back. at once set out In pursuit. The
Crows csmped In u thicket. They
were amazed when they sxw the lit
tie band OF white men approaching x
and rode out TO make an end OF them
but frontiersmcn poured NO deadly a
volley at them from rifles and pis-
tolls that the Crows broke and fled
back 10 the thicket Carson and his
men jumped IN after them. and after
some savage bushwhacking drove
them out. fleeing wildly. Mean
while the two mounted Cheyennes
had ridden around to where the
stolen horses were grazing and driy-
en the Who'll. bunch back out OF reach
of the Crows.
Carson did valuabl. work In the
CNil War and was breyeted briga-
dier general at the close OF the war.
He died In 1865.

A CLEAR NOTE OF GOOD CHEER
FR0M SENATOR BRYAN

Senator Bryan, Of this State, Is
showing himself q close and intel
ligCnt student of the tariff as applied
to Florida citrus fruits. He is now
backing up his recent declaration
that as a Democrat he intended to
vote for revision downwards as the
people demanded and his party
promised. regardless Of local consid-
crations. with some further state.
ments about the effect Of the pro-
POSED tariff on oranges, In refresh
ing contrast with the despairing
walls of Mr.. Temple. Senator Bryan
las addressed letter to the news
papers OF Florida on this issue. and
from it we take the following which
reads like good sense to us and
which we use to sweep all OF Mr..
Temples backboneless pessimism out
OF the way:
"FrOm what source do the grow
ers of the United States fear c0mpe-
t:tion? Not Spain. nor Italy. nor
Palestine, nor Japan, for they are
too remote to compete. Possibly .P0r-
to Rico, Cuba and Mexico-produc-
ing. all told, less than 100000 boxes
1.-THE groves of Spain, especially
those of Valencia and other southern
provinces. from which the greatest
supply is drawn, have been infected
for several years past with the r.t
scale. which is regarded as q most
serious enemy Of the citrus family.
Shall oppose the importation OF or
a'iecs from any country where there
is citrus infection, and to that enc
have introduced in the Senate ar
amendment to exclude such orange.
from our imports. am in favor o
that sort Of protection to the indus
try, but not one through tariff lcgis
laticn.
Frankly, | am Of the opinion tina,
the Florida orange needs no protec
ton, and doubt If the bill, at 3!
cents a box. will raise any but ar
Insignificant revenue. The Florid:
Crance stands in class by itself
j sells in Canada fer more than Il
sells in the United States. The or
ahgc growers attribute this to 9
combination of buyers. Neverthe
loss. the buyers have not the power
TO force the public to pay more foi
q Florida orange than the Florida
orange is worth. II the buyers &c,
What it is worth. why not the pro.
dEcer? DO they? II they do not
whose fault is It?
II wish to suggest also that the
greatest initial development Of 1.-THE
orange industry was between 1879
and 1898, up to which time the tar
lit on oranges was 26 cents a bcx."
