DESPERATE MEASURES
 PROPOSED IN HUNGARY

Count Tisza, the Hungarin Pre- mier, eontemplates making the cul- tivation of wheat a State monopoly, according to the Posts Budapest correspondent, who declares that it Is desperate scheme, showing that national bankruptcy and ruin are not far distant. The correspondent says it seems incredible that the government should propose such a measure, and the mere fact of its being proposed proves the gravity of the present situation.
 Referring to the idea in Parlia- ment NJ. Szterenyi. former min ister. said to Count Tisza: If the government proposed a monopoly on wheat it would be the most das- tardly act ever committed by the government, and they would find millions of people involved in open revolution before the plan could be adopted-Toronto Globe.

A TRIBUTE

Hadley, Alaska, is an oasis in the desert life of one who writes these lines. It's perfumed flowers, will to memory cling, until lifes fever is e CT. All honor to the ladies of Hadley, who when I was stranger took me in, when sick visited me. and even followed me with kindly remembrances, when in the hospi- tai at Ketchikan. To thank each personally, would leave me for ever a debtor of gratitude.
 And the men also who, when the voice cried Stand By sprang uickly to the ropes, and manned h ship until it was safe beyond the breakers. All honor and all gratitude. I can send no royal di- adem. l can only crown you with my affection.

most terrible spectacle, having been burned by the savages. After having performed this sad and sick ening task We pursued our journey to its end without further incident of note. many going to what is now the state of Oregon, while we. @litfl several other families, including Mir Meeker, the father of John and Ezra Meeker of Puyallup and the Whitesels of Orting, made our way to Puget Sound by way or the Nat chez pass over the Cascade mouu- tains, which was a per;lous trip. Very few undertook this route with wagons. In coming down tke noun tain sides the wagons had to be tsnubbed" down, as it was called, with ropes, which was done by mak- ing strong ropes fast to each wagon taking half-hitches to trees. by which means they could be kept under control while going over the steepest places. This road was lit tie better than nature left 1t and was simply route picked through the mountain wilds. Our course was down the Natchez river, which we had to cross sixty-two times in one day. Here I had another bit of perilious experience. I, in company with my brother next older than myself, fingered behind the wagons to gather gum from the pine trees. After having crossed the river twice in succession and thinking that we would not cross again soon We al- lowed the wagons to get some dis tance ahead of us. and when We started to catch them, to our sur prise the river was between us and the wagons. As we could see no other way We set out to wade through the stream, which. although not very deep. had strong current. My clothing soon became so heavy that 1 was unable to keep up. the strong force of the current throw ing me down and carrying me from one boulder to another, to which would cling as long as 1 could, but my strength was fast failing and would have succumbed very soon had it not been that we were miss ed and my cousin. Arnold Lake was sent to find us, which he did, in the condition described, from which he rescued me not five min utes too soon. My brother was slowly getting across, as he was older and somewhat stronger, as we'll as being clothed in a manner which did not ineumber him so much in the water.

branch from which the supply came
headed just east of Atlanta Street
within the City limits. At that time
some private sewers emptied just a
boVe the head of this branch, within
few feet of it. The drainage from
quite a number of residences during
rainy weather ran into this branch.
The pumping station was only about
two miles from Marietta Now sup
pose that the excavations from a pa
tient with typhoid fever had been
washed into this branch and then
this water pumped back to town for
the citizens to drink, We would have
had not only hundreds, but perhaps
thousands of cases of typhoid fever.
!, among others, helped to create a
sentiment against the use Of this CON

was that the citizens took the matter

Resurrection

III WAY back last summer nature
III prompted the caterpillar to seek
out its place, weave its tiny web
and go 10 sleep there. Perhaps could
the humble caterpillar have thought
about II he would have wondered and
maybe rebelled because he was forced
to do this inexplicable thing. He had
been very happy in his tiny way.
Life seemed very good to him out
there In the sunshine of last summer.
and he could not understand why he
should have TO give up all this and
weave "A web In a remote corner and
20 to sleep.
But you who see the chrysalis there
In the spring sunshine know that he
had TO do this I'm order that he might
progress to the higher. better and hap
pier life OF the butterfly.
The caterpillar had to die that the
butterfly could be born. Death had to
apparently triumph for a little while
that the ultimate and far greater tri-
umph OF life and evolution might be
the more complete.
And here we have I'm a humble but
none the less effective phase the story
OF the resurrection. the passing OF life
into death, that 1t may emerge the
greater and more perfect life.
