We are for Colonel Roosevelt in

him four years ago. No one fought

easy to put aside our pride, our
sense OF resentment at what occur

so we are doing the best thing not
only for the nation but for the Re.

We might have preferred another
leader, but there is no other leader
Justice Hughes might have spoken
II he had been free to speak. In
deed, we feel sure he would have
spoken, and for Americanism, had 81,

and then we should have preferred
him. But the plain fact is that he
did not speak that he could not
speak.
II the Justice should be chosen as
leader in the fight for a worthier ma
tionalism, he would have to take the
torch that Colonel Roosevelt has
thus far borne. He would have to
accept an issue that meant its most
only in another mans hands. Surely
in the transfer we should lose our
stride. As a people we should feel
that we had hung back, that we had
not gone the limit in the true Am
erican way. The governments of
Europe would feel this, too. They
would conclude that We meant to
temporize. Something would be lost
OF the moral effect of moving straight
on under the leadership of the man
who represents the purpose of this
country as no one else does or can.

that In Lop Ear and me had impclled
US to venture away from the forest,
had driven the puppies out Of the cave
to frolic. l know how their mother
would have punished them had she
caught them.
But 1t was Lop Ear and l who
caught them. He looked at me. and
then we made dash for It. The pup
pies knew no place to run except into
the lair, and we headed them Off. One
rushed between my legs. l squatted
and grabbed him. He sank his sharp
little teeth into my arm, and dropped
him In the suddenness of the hurt and
surprise. The next moment he had
scurried inside.
Lop Ear, struggling with the second
puppy, scowled Mt me and intimated by
a variety Of sounds the different kinds
of fool and Il bungler that | was.
This made me ashamed and spurred
me to valor. l grabbed the remaining
puppy by the tail. He got his teeth
into me once, and then l got him by
the nape of the neck. Lop Ear and
sat down and held the puppies up and
looked ut them and laughed.
They Were snarling and yeIping and
crying. Lop Ear started suddenly. He
thought he had heard something. We
looked at each other In fear, realizing
the danger Of our position. The one
thing that made animals raging de-
mons was tampering with their young
And these puppies that made such a
racket belonged to the wild dogs. Well
we knew them, running I'm packs, the
terror Of the grass eating animals. We
had watched them following the herds
Of cattle and bison and dragging down
the calves, the aged and the sick. We
had been chased by them ourselves

caught just as she reached the shelter
of the woods. Had she not been tired
out by the run she might have made 1t
into a tree. She tried and slipped and
fell back. They made short work OF
her.
We did not stare at each other longer
than moment. Keeping tight hold of
our prizes, we ran for the woods. Once
In the security Of tall tree, we held
up the puppies and laughed again. You
see, we had to have our laugh out, no
matter what happened.

The Attorney In England.

The use of the word attorney denotes a belated mind. Since Nov. 1, 1875. attorneys have ceased to exist, their title merged by law into that of solic- itor of the supreme court of judica- ture. says writer in the London Mail. The name had long been used as a term of abuse. Johnson observed of an acquaintance that "he did not care to speak i'll of any man behind his back but he believed the gentleman was an attorney"
 Archbishop Trench in 1859 noted that the word attorney was going out of fa- vor and that the lower branch of the legal profession preferred to be called solicitors. So when the judicature act of 1873 was before parliament clause was inserted abolishing the obnoxious title. But with our delightful con- servatism we still honor the attorney general"

BIG GUNS OF A CENTURY AGO
The Turks Used Cannon That Fired Great Granite eowldsrs.

The Turks Used Cannon That Fired
 Great Granite BowIdsrs.
 It would scarcely appear feasible that a shot weighing 800 pounds could have been employed a century ago. yet the Turks, who used the largest cannon in Europe. actually used guns of such caliber at that time.
 When Sir J. Duckworth passed the Dardanelles to attack Constantinople in 1907 his fleet was dreadfully shat tered by the immense shot thrown from the batteries. The Royal George. of 110 guns, was nearly sunk by only one shot, while another cut the main- mast of the Windsor Castle almost in two. a single shot knocked two ports of the Thunderer into one; the Re pulse (seventy-four guns, had her wheel shot away and twenty-four men killed and wounded by shot, the ship being saved only by the most wonder ful exertions.
 The heaviest shot which struck the British ships was of granite. weighing 800 pounds. and was twenty-six inches in diameter. One such shot to the as- tonishment of the tars. stove in the whole starboard boy of the Active. and. having crushed this immense mass of timber, the shot rolled ponderously aft. the crew standing aghast at this singular spectacle.
 One of these guns was cast in brass. 1t was composed of two parts. it's breach resting against massive stone- work. and the difficulty of charging such a monster would not allow of its being fired more than once.-Dundee Advertiser.

 BUSINESS B00A|
BRING MANY MEN
LaJM of Transportation Creates Eum- :ber Famine in Town and Bufltiing Is at a Standstill-Clam Ganneries Operating Osrr-Time.

c. P. Micke1spn of CordUva, and one -oi the leading democrats of that town, is in Valdez on jury duty. MT.
 Mickelson states that the railroad
 town is in the midst of a boom and
 that business there is better than at any time since the construction days. Owing to the erection of several canneries there, there has been a
 large influx of people, with the re-
 suit that the hotels are crowded and
 nave been compelled to turn people away. One of the greatest needs of the town. he states, is a large in crease in the number of dwelling houses, as the demand is greatly in excess of the supply. Lack of lum- Der. and the 1mpossibility of securing lit at this time. has greatly hampered projected buildings, and even the rail- road company has been compelled to lay off several crews because timbers for the work planned were not ob- tainable.
 MT. Mickelson states that inability to secure transportation is caused hy the fact that this year the steamers have been compelled to bring all the supplies and crews for the canneries where in former years the canner:es used their own ships for this purpose. This year the enormous demand for ships in the States has caused the can- neries to charter their vessels as car- go carriers. The ship St. Paul which has brought the supplies to the Orca canrery for a number of years, and remained anchored off the cannery during the fishing season, has this year been chartered in the lumber trade. and was sent to Australia with a cargo. The charter rate is said to have been one hundred shilling per thousand in advance of normal rates. and the single trip will bring to the owners the full value of the ship.
 The clam canneries recently built at Cordova are operating and turn ing out a first class product. Only razor-back clans are used, and of these there seems to be an unlimited supply. The salmon canneries are not yet. in full operation. only few king salmon having been brought in, but within a short time the run of red fish is expected and the canneries will run at full capacity.

Knockinu on Wood.

Knock on wood" is one Of the most antique expressions in use today in' stead of being modern slang. according to Professor William F. Bade. The ex- pression dates from custom in vogue 5000 years ago. when wood was re- garded as the antipathy of evil genius es. Metals were regarded as tabooed by certain spirits. and if man han dled these metals he immediately touched wood to appease the spirits. Ancient records show that King Solo, mons temple was built with wooden tools and implements made of precious metals. for iron was tabooed and would have polluted the temple.-Exchange
