Treasures for the Children

Del Monte, Cal, May 10, 19O3.
Blessed Kermit:
The last weeks travel l have really
enjoyed. Last Sunday and today (Sun-
day. and also on Wednesday at the
Grand Canyon | had long rides, and
the country has been strange and
beautiful. | have collected a variety
of treasures. which l shall have to
try to divide up equally among you
children One treasure, by the way, is
a very small badger, which l named
Josiah, and he is now called Josh for
short He is very cunning and l hold
him in my arms and pet him. | hope
he will grow UP friendly-that is if the
poor little fellow lives to grow up al
ALL Dulany is taking excellent care
of him, and we feed him on milk and
potatoes.
1 have enjoyed meeting an old class
mate of mine at Harvard. He was
heavyweight boxing champion when ]
was in college.
l was much interested in your see
ing the wild deer. That was quite
remarkable Today. by the way, as !
rode along the beach I saw seals, cor
morants, gulls and ducks, all aston
ishingly tame.
More Treasures
Del Monte, Calig., May 10, 1908.
| Blessed Archie:
| l think it was verv cunning for
| YOU and Quentine to write me that let
| ter together. l wish you could have
| been with me today on Algonquin, for
we had a perfectly lovely ride. DR.
| Hixey and l were on two very hand
some horses, with Mexican saddles and
brides; the reins of very slender
! leather with silver rings. The road
led through pine and cypress forests
| and along the beach. The surf was
beating on the rocks in one place and
| right between two of the rocks where
| really did not see how anything
could swim a seal appeared and stood
up on his tail half out of the foam
ing water and tapped his flippers, and
was as much at home as anything
could be. Beautiful gulls flew close
to us all around, and cormorants swan
along the breakers or walked along the
beach.
have a number of treasures to d.
vide among you children when / get
back One of the treasures is Bill the
Lizard He is a little live lizard,
called a horned frog, very cunning,
who lives in small hox. The little
badger, Josh, is very well and eats
| milk ana potatoes. we TOOK MIN out
and gave him run in the sand to-
day. So far he seems as friendly as
possible. When he feels hungry he
squeals and the colored porters insist
that he says, "Du-la-ny, Du-la-ny.'
because Dulany is very good to him
and takes care of him.
A Homesick President
Del Monte, Cal, May 10, 1908.
Dearest Clearinghouse:
I loved your letter. am very
homesick for mother and for you
children; but l have enjoyed this
weeks travel. | have been among
the orange groves where the trees
have oranges growing thick upon
them, and there are more flowers
than you have ever seen. l have a
gold top which l shall give you il
D mother thinks you can take care of it.
!. Perhaps | shall give you a silver bell
instead. Whenever l see a little boy
being brought up by his father or
mother to look at the procession as
e we pass by, l think of you and Archie
j and feel very homesick. Sometimes
Y little boys ride in the procession or
d their ponies, just like Archie on Al
d gonquin.

L'ENVOI

Lest the lack of signature to the
above ditty lead the reader to extend
the palm to us, we will explain that it
came to US through the mails. We
could wish that it bore some sort OF a
signature.
And while We enjoyed reading it and
While we subscribe to the bulk of its
philosophy we must set down here a
word or two of comment on it. And
So
In the main, what this particular bit
of the west has of dead beats, super
anuated, sewers of wild oats, measly
dollar mongers, snobs and tops, four
flushers and fakers-all these are not
Western people. BY Western people
we mean the native sons and daugh-
tiers and those immigrants who have
grown up with the West.
The bulk of the above undesirables
here are comparatively recent arrivals
from the east and the o-called east.
Many of them, coming here any time
within the past ten or twelve years,
landed here without a cent in their
jeans. The wealth of opportunity here
has made them what they are today.
And it must be admitted that at times
is appears the stored great-hearted-
ness of the West is being crowded out
by some of our eastern customs and
practices.
AS one from east, we have observed
that whenever and wherever you meet
the dried-in- the-sun, blown on the
desert Westerner, who is naturally
happy and optimistic whose creed is
loyalty to his friends, who practice
generosity and hospitality, who has a
wholesome capacity for worl1-wher-
ever you meet him, and he's all around
in these parts, THAT. my friends, is
where the West begins.

EDITORIAL
THAT'S WHERE THE WEST

c. G. h. Editor
with apologies to Arthur Chapman

BEGINS
with apologies to Arthur Chapman
Out where the rents are a little higher,
Out where the land is a little drier,
That's where the West begins.
Out where the glare of the sun is
brighter,
Where the summers grip is little
tighter,
Where Divorce it taken a wee bit
lighter,
That's where the West begins.
Out where the rich area little newer,
Where kindly smiles are a trifle fewer,
That's where the West begins.
Out where a faster Youth is growing,
Where the old folks aid in the wild
oats sowing,
Where there's less of paying and more
of owing,
That's where the West begins.
Where there's more of selling and less
of giving,
Where there's more existing and less
of living,
That's where the West begins.
Where you pay three times for the
stuff you're buying,
Where a house hunt ends in a fit OF
crying,
And you can't make friends though
you keep on trying,
That's where the West begins.

DULL COMMENT

Some weeks ago this great Friend
of the People gave voice to its sneak
ing bunch that the safety razor barons,
coincident with raising the price had
cut down on the quality of their pro-
duct Our bunch is confirmed by read
ing similar comment in several feature
columns in various dailies throughout
the country.
Moral: % Sharpen your wits by
reading it first in the Cancels Back.
CD Don't shave.
On the theory that one of the es-
sentials of first class bolshevik is Il
good crop of unkempt whiskers, it is
justified to hold that the safety razor
producers are recruiting for the Reds.
1t is announced that there is now
forming a local chapter of the Bloody
knights of the Safety Razor.
Calamity is a social animal de-
handing company. AS soon as the
BARRIERS got next to the tinware that is
being peddled in the guise of steel
razor blades, they increased the price
of a shave.
"Guise" is not the proper word in
the above paragraph: 1t should be
guys. They are guying us.
Hone your wits before you try that
one
Now we know why they call them
safety razors. You could stand one
of the blades on edge and slide to
town on it in perfect safety.
For best results, shave with the
grain" cautions the directions wrapped
around a package of the so-called
| blades The bird that framed that had
sense of humor. Only a blockhead
would try to shave with the blades
they are turning out now.
Suggested title for a song to be dedi-
Gated to the safety razor blade manu-
facturers: II Didn't Raise My Beard
to Be Hacked OFF,
We really ought to be getting com
mission from the BARRIERS for writing
this stuff.
Barber barber, shave this pig;
He's been using a safety" rig.
We will now give the unkindest Gu
of ALL
Answering their ad. we sent to on,
of the manufacturers for their blad
sharpener and winded up by saying
Also, please send me information a
to when you intend to make you
blades al 30 cents a 8 good aS thew wer
when you sold them for IS cents"
All we got in reply was the sharp
ener.

What You See in Others Determines What You Are
(By the Rev Charles Stelzle)
1t requires the highest type of religion to be a
real sport.
Sport" meaning sportsrna nshin fairness annra
citation.
In England, when cricket player misses ball,
the crowd usually cries out: well tried! Well
tred!"
In America when a baseball player out in the
field muffs fly the crowd yells: Kill the SON
of-a-gun!"
It's just the difference in appreciation Of tbe
players efforts.
And life is a game-in which some win but
most lose.
We can't all be champions
II could, what credit would the chamnion
ship be?
But all try to be champions.
And most of us do.
Many of US suffer from severe handicaps, in
speed, and strength, and skill
But the average person does his best
1t may be poor best, and it wouldn't he ac
copied as the best of some others who have had
better satrt in life, but it's their best and it
should be accepted by the rest of us as such
Now it requires high-grade man to annreciate
the people who have tried-and lost
There's real genius in seeing the pood in
others which the world simply passes by
But he who can see the dvine-and the bu-
man-in the wrecks of lives all about us is in nos
session of one of Gods greatest attributes
For God sees and knows.
He recognizes that in the wreck that men
despise there divine possibilities
He sees soul-not sot
And God takes that outcast and reeanera+os
him-and he becomes "son of the Highest .
What do you in men?
Your answer is not test of others but IF
yourself.
Ii you see only wrecks and failure-f you are
impatient of their shortcomings-th Won have bea
weighed IN the balance and been found wanting
And may the Lord have mercy on your sorf

But what our feeble mind fails to
grasp is why we should spend time
and money gathering in the criminals
only to have the juries that find them
guilty recommend that sentence be
made as light as possible or be sus-
pended entirely, on the plea of extern
uating circumstances.

DRIFTWOOD

IL was a wiz, Wild nlSnl-tflaI ntsHl
when the river swallowed a cloudburst
and rose up out of her bed to get rid
of it.
The first intimation that we had had
that. pandemonium was floating our
way, came when Pete, our swarthy
neighbor below, reused us out of our
midnight bed and requested the use
of our "shovla" and "lonten".
"Wassamatter, Peter" we asked.
oh moocho aqua. Da river-he's
come like hell; he's two feets in my
housed"
Pete had loaded his household
goods, family and chickens on his wa
gon and needed our "shovla" to
''shovla" the outfit out of an irrigation
ditch he ran into coming across the
field.
Wake a man in the dead of night and
acquaint him with impending catas-
trophe, and you get some strange
comebacks from him.
A couple of neighbors oozed from
ranch to ranch, arousing the sleeping
inmates At Jones' place they called
out, Jones! Hey. JONES! Better get
up and take a squirt at all this water
coming down here!"
Jones: HUH Who's there?'
Neighbors: It's US. This place is
getting flooded out. Shake leg and
come to lifei"
Jones: Flooded? He'll! I didn't Or
der no water. Has that dam zanjero
gone and turned another head of water
down here?"
Here's how we prepared for the
! inundation-it's a good recipe, and so
We give it.
! Packed a few necessities in bags and
suitcases, stacked the library on a
pyramid of chairs and tables, placed
pile of bills now due" on the floor;
opened the gate to the chicken yard
and offered a consoling word to the
ladies on the roost for not being born
ducks; opened the gate to the sheep
run and then ran ourself to get out of
the way of the ram who had knocked
us over the day before; threw a few
| hunks of wood up on the haystack
against a damp return; called up
neighbor Griffiths and received well
come hospitality for the night; called
up the sheriff and learned that the
worst was yet to come: decided to sit
before the fire until we heard the
tapping of muddy waters against the
sides of the house; awoke from a fitful
nap, to have our eye fall on the follow
ing col. streamer on the front page
of that evenings Gazette, lying on the
table:
THE LORD MADE IT EASY TO BE
THANKFUL IN THE SALT
RIVER VALLEY
We fell asleep trying to figure out
a good comeback for that. When we
awoke it was daylight and we learned
that the river was falling rapidly, and
so we didn't need any comeback to it
