pcdimcnta. Well chummy road
ster baked at the bend Of the
church hill, perhaps it thought
that we ought 20 60 IN and give
thanks for being alive but we
were headed for the ferry and
not much time to lose. Our
chauffeur phomcd Il 5. O. $. but no
other craft hove in sight and
time was flying. SO he coaXed
her around the corner and we all
piled in once more. Arriving at
the top Of the hill, our chummy
steed took the bit in her teeth
regardless Of the speed Limit laws
and made one grand burst Of
speed until we passed Andy Math-

a little further and it makes no

gets the cOllywobbles or even dies
as we can graVitatc to the bally

sharp report and we all began to
sniff something burning. TO pile

safe distance between the con-
trary machine and ourselves, be-
cause the manifold or whatever
you call the exhaust drum was
burning merrily, however another
autoist came up and quenched the
flame with IA pyrene gun, also the
bus came along and we made the
ferry without other mishap. Now

ours from the city came to visit
with us for a couple Of days with
out prviouS notice, and being very
great friends venturcd to make
themselves at home in the house,
expecting to see us turn up by
the Sunday evening boat and Of
course by the time we should have
arrived home there was no way
they could get back so had to
make themselves still more at
home till Monday, and the first
intimation we had Of the whole
proceeding was a phone call in
Seattle Monday evening, being as
before said, good old reliable
friends, it was all right and we
had Il phone laugh over the Incl
dent. We reached home Tuesday
evening per Virginia ", having
escaped the dangers Of fire, water
and the Seattle streets glad to
have been and glad to get back.

from Madison's irresolute hand and
recklessly pointed the vessel straight
into the teeth OF the storm. The sea-
board East was more for peace and at
that time the military section was the
new West, where the Tennesseans and
Kentuckinns, Indlanians and Ohioans
were Justify shouting "On to Canada !"
Overcome by their rash counsels, Mad
lson consented, rs he said TO throw
forward the flag Of the country, sure
that the people would press onward
and defend It."
Without competent civilian military
leaders, without financial credit, with
out war equipment, the people could
not press onward, as any history OF
the dismal war Of 1912 will tell you.
Even the capital was left undefend-
ed, and Madison, ain little round
hat with big cockade," ran about In
helpless bewilderment as ME British
marched upon Washington.
With the invaders entering at one
side Of the defenseless town, the
president fed at the other As he
turned he saw the flames shooting up
behind him, he fled faster and farther
While the British commander was
blowing out candles on his dinner ia
Bile that he might feast in the light

After an absence of three days, n
heavy-hcartcd, shattered, houseless
president returned to view the
chnrrcd walls of his official residence
and Of the capitol. At every turn he
WINS greeted by ugly mutterngs of the
general disposition TO make him the
sCapcgOat for all the national short
comlngs in war that had been thrust
upon him. But with victory ut New
Orleans and the return of peace, the
voice of the Pathfinder was drowned
in the hum Of sudden prosperity. And
In the closing days Of his admins
tratiOn Madison was cheered by many
assurances that his countrymen wcrn
not forgetful of the 40 years that he
had served them in pure devotion.
Like John Adams, he emerged from
his retirement TO sit In the constltu.
tional convention of his state.

Unless Grant must be excepted,
Madison Is the only president who
found the presidency an anticlimax
to his career. One of the really great
law-givers of the nation, he was
without executive force.
With n weak cabinet, this gentle,
sweet tempered, peace loving scholar
found himself ndrIft on the turbld
sea of the great Nupoleonic wars.
Perhaps it was no longer possible to
keep us out of the war when ut last the
United States was the only neutral

PLACER GOLD IS
PRODUCED n
0SCEOLA

That Osoeola. the once famous
placer mining district Ia still In the
producing class was evidenced this
week by the handful of big nuggets
displayed by Clyde Tilford q pioneer
of placer mining Mr.. 1ilford came
in to appear rs witness in the
mining suit being tried in the dis
trict court and brought few of tho
nuggets along to show the result of
his last weeks work.
There we're hwenty-two nuggets
in all. one of them weighing nearly
half a pound in solid gold, the mug
get was large than hens egg and
to the uninitiated looked like q for
tune. Six of the other nuggets we're
larger than marbles while the re-
manning ones were about the size
that is usually seen in necktie pins.
Besides the nuggets Mr.. Tilford had
q bottle of gold dust.
The Tilford brothers are working
in Dry Gulch. the scene of the famous
gold rush of years ago when nuggets
weighing several pounds we're found
in an ordinary days work.
Owing to the plentiful supply Of
water this year In the mountains
surrounding the placer mining dis
'.trict it has been possible to sluice
the gravel dug out along Dry Gulch
during the winter and the Tilford
brothers expect to clean mp about
$4,000 before the supply Of water
is exhausted.
