excellent watch-word, and its use in
the campaign Is merely a forerunner
Of its use in the White House when
he gets there.

Editorial Comments

The Democrats continue to ignore
Mr.. Hughes speeches to the extent
that all they do is to sputter and gasp.
Let 1t be conceded there are really
strong grounds for the opinion that
President Wilson may carry Texas
next November If these indications
are taken at their full worth, some
enthusiasts will soon be going out to
bet that the tide will sweep on until
Mississippi and Alabama are also en-
rolled in the Democratic column.

LIVES
 LIKE PET D0G

Arthur Berry who is now in Se-
 ward from the KuskOkwim is the owner of the most wonderful moose alive. Up on the banks of that stream where Mir. Berry lives and conducts the Kuskokwim Trading Company he has a COW moose that comes into the house and lies down like a pet domestic animal. When the door is locked Mrp. Moose comes un 70 tho window and looks in. Then to the door she moves and tries every means to gain an en- trance, and when the door is open she rushes right in like @ frolic- some puppy dog. Mir. Berry got the animal when she was only few weeks old and has raised her. She follows him everywhere and has ab- solutely no fear. The only human beings she cannot tolerate are the Indians and especially the sQuaws. On occasions she goes after the natile women and chases them. Her method of fighting the women is to kick at them with a fOreleg, then turn and kick out with the hind hooe as if wishing to give her fore and aft weapons an equal chance. The reascu for this hostility to the natives Is said to be due to the fact that the Indians punish moose by whipping them in the ears. Last season NJ. Berry grew a lot of cab bage and when the task of feeding his pet confronted him in the fail he let her loose at the vege- tables.-Seward Gateway.

FUNNY MONEY IN CHINA.
Getting OF Making Change Is a Sore
 Trial to e Foreigner.

Getting or Making Change Is Sore
 Trial to e Foreigner.
 A dollar of our money in Chinese cash weighs eighteen pounds.
 In Chentefu, which is a small village where white people seldom go, was going along with my guide when saw a small peddler beside the street with some fine Picking pears. bought six of them for 215 cents and in payment gave the street peddler a twenty cent piece. He turned 1t over and over and tested 1t with his thumb nail, which was surely made for the purpose. The peddler gave back the coin and said that he would not take it. The guide asked him why, and he explained that he had never seen any such money and that 1t might be bad. So had to dig up some cOppers.
 In all his life the peddlsr had never seen a piece of silver money. There are thousands and thousands of people in China whose financial dealings ney- CT amount to enough to have it put into silver, who are born, grow old and pass to their reward without ever hay ing seen a piece of silver.
 All China Is suspicious about money. Every time you put down a dime or piece of silver the other person tests 1t before he will take 1t, ringing 1t on the counter or on the pavement You can't give a merchant the right amount of change and walk of. He won't let you leave until he has tested every piece, and he always gives back one or two pieces. He wouldn't think very much of himself as a merchant if he didn't refuse some of your money.
 If you buy something in one part of a store, get your change and walk to another counter and buy something else and give the change that has just been given you the second clerk on general principles will refuse part of 1t,
 Before you buy anything your money has to have the once over. Sometimes 1t is maddening to have to wait while your money Is tested One day l rush ed up to catch a train with just a min.

LIFE OF A PEARL.
A Good Jewel Never Gets Sick Nor
 Dull, Says an Expert.

Dull, Says an Expert.
 In his book, "The Magic of Jewels and Charms" George r. Kunz, the jewel expert, expIodes the sick pearl fauacy. He says:
 "For years a statement has been gO- ing through the press that pearls are liable to become diseased and die and that the famous necklace of pearls pre- sented by President Thiers of France to his wife and bequeathed by Mime. Thlers to the French government had lost their luster and died, perhaps ow. ing to the death of the owner. For there is an old belief that pearls, as well as opals and turquoises. lose some of their luster when tine owner or wearer becomes i'll and change to a dull and lifeIeSs hue when the owner dies.
 An examination of the necklace by the writer showed that the pearls were in good condition. and to confirm his statement to this effect be had the di. rector of the Louvre museum write him a letter In this official communi. cation the director not Uuly states that the pearls had not sickened and died, but that they were in as healthy condition as they had ever been.
 "The invariable experience of the writer has been that whenever pearls have been said to have suffered in this way the true explanation has been that ,Acy were old and poor at the time of their purchase and that this romance was started on it's travels as an excuse 10 cover up tnc dcrrcr of such pearls and to arouse the belief that they had been remarkably beautiful and yalu- able when they were originally ac- Qured."

Buried Alive.

In the early history of Japan It was decidedly a dubious honor 10 be closely related to any person of note, for one of the laws at that time decreed that when a person of rank or importance died all immediate relatives must be buried alive in 6 perpendicular posi- ton around the pcrsonage's grave. Their heads were left above the earth, and thus they remained until welcome death came TO free them.

EARLY MORNING FIRE
DOES SERIOUS HARM


Fire from an unknown cause did
much damage to a stable belonging
to Baldwin and Brown. in the rear of
1884 East Cary Street, early yester-
day morning and five valuable mules
were destroyed.
A large quantity of feed. building
material and a number of vehicles
were damaged.
In going to the fire Policeman Akers
met a negro who inquired what time
the next car went to the West End.
He came from the direction of the
fire. The officer believes that the man
might have been the individual whom
the police and firemen think has been
applying matches to stables and other
buildings recently.
Fire in the rear of Baldwin and
Browns store at 1857 East Main
Street several weeks ago caused sew
eral thousand dollars worth of dam
age.
The opinion strongly prevails that
a f1rebug is at large in the city, and
every effort is being made by the
police to locate him.
The damages to the stable and con-
tents is fixed at about $4,000 and the
value of the mules destroyed was ST.
500.

DEATH OF CLEMENT
Virginia Soldier Died At His Post

Dear Governor,-Owing TO a terrific
storm, which struck Just after my
wire to you, I have had to postpone
writing particulars Of the tragedy re-
ferred to until this moment. Young
Corporal Clement was native OF
Michigan. but had recided in Warren
ton, where he conducted a tewelry
store, for eighteen months. Had
been a member of c. company for
about fourteen months, and was a
most exemplarv soldier and gentle
men. He was twenty-three years old
and married
"At the time of his death he was
in command of a guard detailed for
duty at the rice mill, which is the
general storehouse for all the troops
in this military district. Three of the
most important duties for detail at
this place devolve upon Coloner
Perry and me, one at the rice mill.
one at the bank where the govern
ment funds are deposited, and one at
the International Bridge, all divided
up into ten day and one month tours,
respectively. This explains why this
young man and his guard were at
the rice mill An urgent call came to
Corporal Clement to run to a house
across the street, where a man was
threatening to shoot a woman. and in
obedience to the call he took two
men of his detail. went over TO in
vestgate. but was shot twice and
killed by the fellow before he ever
saw him. The small detail was arm

Young woman also and emptied the

s470,OO0 READY FOR
VIRGINIA PENSIONERS
Checks VIII BE Mailed First OF Month
to 10000 Confederate Veterans
and Dependents

Pension checks amounting to $40,
900 have been made ready by Pension
Clerk Johnston for mailing September
/. from the Office of Auditor c. Lee
Moore to the l2.o00 Confederate pen
siouers in Virginia
The number of pensioners. Confed-
crate veterans and their dependent
widows, is about 200 fewer than
year ago. Despite the ract that there
have been about a thousand deaths
Of those on the rolls some 500 have
been added There are many in Vir-
ginia who delay in making applica-
ton for pension until every other re-
source has been exhausted and the
fund provided by the State for its
defenders promises aid In making the
closing days of life easier to live.
Deaths OF the pensioners grow in
number each year and each year
there are fewer names added TO the
rolls, Many veterans have passed be-
yond without ever having asked the
State to aid them. but these leave de-
pendents who are too aged and too
inirm to battle with the eorld for ex-
istence unaided. To hundreds the
pension roll is the last resort.
