AND 1T CAME TO PASS AS
IN HEROIC DAYS OF OLD


The whole country is sounding the
praises of one American citizen OF
European birth who has the stun in
him Of which American heroes are
/ fashioned We are told about this
man, who happens 70 be mayor OF a
| city, BY little leaEet sent to us by
, the national bank OF the same place
and that institution is spreading
abroad the best sort of patriotism In
the story reeountea, which follows:
! And IL came TO pass that the city
lof Seattle which Is by the Sound OF
Puget, waxed strong and fiourishod
as green bay tree, and the inhabi-
tants thereof grew and the city be-
came mighty because OF its people
And many ships were hailied within
the gates of the city, even ships for
the nation.
And behold there came 10 the city
many workmen to fashion the ships
because of the great need of them.
| And there came also few men
called radicals" who sought TO set
the workman against their employ
ers. and against the government and
tiAe SlioStn rulers tHSfcOI.
And much mischief was done by
| by the radicals who iniamed the
workmen, saying. "Ye are poorly
paid. why will ye toll with your
hands for 80 paltry recompense?
liarken unto us, refuse to labor IN
Ill your employers increase your sti-
pend"
And many OF the laborers heard
! tile injunction of the radicals and
twot not that the radicals devised TO
overthrow the government and its
rulers and do violence to all In au-
thority. And many more did hear the
radicals and OWNED their hidden
purpose, but fe~red 10 raise their
voices against them lest they be
dealt with harshly.
! And after many days II came 10
pass on fixed date the radicals who
compelled all who worked with their
hands to cease from their labors, and
refuse to do aught
! And all the people were seized
| with n great fear because the cars
ran not through the streets neither
ibid the jitney pursue its usual coursa
| and many threats of violence were
heard. and much Inconvenience was
fastened upon the inhabitants.
Now Ole Of the Tribe of Hanson.
Norseman. was the ruler of the city,
and when he saw the evil which was
being wrought to all the people a.id
the defiance of the radicals OF arthor-
lity. he was very wroth with right
eous Indignation for he knew OF the
great harm being done to the lAborer
as we'll as TO the employer.
And he arose and girded up his
lpins and smote his breast and called
for his Chief of Police. one Joel J..
Warren, mighty man of valor,
whose stature was very great, and
who feared no man. And the ruler.
even Ole said unto the Chief, "Canst
thou with thy valiant band provide
full protection for these my people
who suffer. for | will issue an edict
directing business to be resumed as
usual at a. m. on the morrow
Then the chief raised himself To
his full height. which is head and
shoulders above other men. answered
the ruler saying. Verify ! with my
men am fully prepared to Offer the |
fullest protection TO all the people |
against our common enemy, and |
should any there be who openly defy +.
thy authority or seek TO destroy /
property or life, will drive them be- +
fore me until their hats float over
them in the waters of the Sound" /
And ole the ruler was much pleas.
ed for he knew II was even az tho i
Chief rid said
And Ole called In a scribe and
caused parchment 10 be written re-
assuring all the people even tho Ia I
.borers. and he denounced the radl.
Gals as ''reyolutionists.' reds Dol
she9ists." enemies of the goven.
ment." And he tore from the radi-
Gals their mask which had hidden
them.
And all the people heard their rrii-
