LITTLE BEDTIME STORIES,
SAMMY JAY PROVES THAT HE
is NOT ALL BAD.
BY Thornton w. Burgess.
BY Thornton w. Burgess.

Sammy Jay hadn't had so much fun
for a long time as he found in watch
ing the funny little school in Farmer
Browns old orchard, where Johnny
Chuck was teaching his three baby
Chucks the things that every little
Chuck must learn il he would grow up
into big Chuck. When they had learned
to mind without waiting to ask why, and
when they had learned the signals which
told them just what to do when danger
was near, Johnny began to lead them
further and further away from home.
He took them up along the old stone
wall and showed them how to find safe
hiding places among the stones. Then
he took them off a little way and sud-
denly gave the danger signal. 1t was
funny, very funny indeed, to see the three
little Chucks scamper for the old stone
wall and crawl out of sight. The. first
time two of them tried to squeeze into

IN MENORIAM

When Edward P Martin of Cold
Greek left us the other day at
Berkeley, Cal he left behind him
not only as many sorrowing friends
and relations as the best Of us can
hope TO make before our time comes
but something far better than sor-
row, he left us a memory of a
CHEEKY smile, and hearty friendship
and good word for everybody.
He was a loving father, a kind
brother and a goud true friend.
He was born at Gold Creek on the
18th of September 1878 and leaves
behind him two children, Annie
and Susan, an aged father, Hugh
Martin, four brothers, Hugh, Walt
err, Jim and Will Martin and one
sister Mrs Annie Bicroth.
May his memory be as bright

HARRY THAW

The escape of Harry Thaw from
Mattewan asylum and his capture
in Canada is another chapter in
New Yorks criminal history. Ninety
per cent uf the American people
believe that Thaw is as sane as his
keepers, the superintendent of the
asylum or any of the judges who
persisted in holding him in the asy-
lum. 1t is safe to say that he will
never see the inside IF Matte wan
again. Even if Canada decides to
deport him, it will probably have
to send him to New Hampshire as
he crossed the Canadian border
from that State.
1t would be great wrong and a
gross misapplication of the immi-
grafton laws to send deported
man to one state when he came in
to that country from another, es-
pec:ally in this case. Thaw will
give the officials a run for their
money if he is deported to New
Hampshire the State from which
he came into that country. He
has no more chance than rat in
sinking ship out in mid-ocean if
he is sent to New York. Canada
has no right to send him to New
York in case he is deported. That
country should not use its power,
if it is found to have it. to put
this man back in an asylum when
he is perfectly sane. The question
of jurisdiction should be left to
New York and New Hampshire
to settle between themselves
That is a question which concerns
this country alone.

Interesting Letter From An Ex-Brinkley Man Now
 in Virginia.

Petersburg, Va, May 3, 1913. Editor ARGUS:
 Last Sunday 1 was in Char lotte, N. c. This week I have visited Lexington, High Point, Chapel Hill, Raleigh, Clayton, Franklinton, and Weldon, N. C., and Jarrate, Va. and tonight I am in Petersburg.
 Charlotte is an old Scotch cen- ter with no saloons nor houses in the midst, and the Sabbath is observed.
 Lexington is the home of H. B. Warner, the editor of South ern Good Roads," and one of the leading good roads advocates of the south. Highpoint is the furniture center of the south. Chapel Hill is where the Uni versity of North Carolina is To- cated, and Raleigh is the state capital. The other towns named are small villages, while Peters burg is the trunk and bag center of the South. Yes, and one of the liquor centers, this being a distributing point for the whole salers. 1 saw scenes here to- night which reminded me of other days in the days of the open saloon when l was citizen of Brinkley. Drunken brawls, hilarious talking, swollen eyes , and red noses, and young men by the dozens seeking the houses. Such scenes are rare these days. They are a relic of a passing generation. They do not ex- 1 press the ideal of the present age, an age fraught with moral ideals and reaching out for the higher, the purer. the help ful things of life. But some are slow to learn, because the pro- cesses of evolution are construc- tive and it requires energy, eff fort, application to learn.
