Come on! Come on in and listen
to my radio!" but the scunle thal
followed showed that the reluctant
one had made his escape.
"He won't go into anybody S mousse
Just runs home and sticks there
well. let him!" and Robert Dunn
slammed the front door in disgust as
he entered his home.
"Hes strange, Sonny, wait until
he gets better acquainted" comfort
ed his grandmother. "He came from
the far west and is strange to our
city and it's ways" For wise Grand
mother had already OWNED that the
Young stranger who had come to
their neighborhood some months
previous had made happy impress
sion on her impetuous grandson
whose friendly overtures were not
meeting with the success ne Woulu
have liked.
"He's the same with everybody, eV-
en- Teacher can't make him talk,
complained Robert.
GLOW can she teach him?" asked
Grandmother.
"She can't. He just sits there END
looks. and says never a word, and
they can't keep the whole class back
for him. They are going to put MIN
in special.
"Oh. I hope not! He is bright
boy and should stay with his grade.
And the woman who had brought up
three sons of her own and was now
noothering this seven-year-oldI
grandson, grew thoughtful.
A few minutes later she was IN
Mrs. Meyers little sitting room eX-
planning to the newcomer that tne
placing of her little son, Harry, III
Especial" meant step backward for
him.
"I can't make out why he won't
talk at school," said the mother ex-
asperatedly. "He talks well enough
around here, but in school, they tell
me, he's dumb"
"What is the difference between
his surroundings here and in IoWa?'
asked Mrs. Dunn kindly, feeling sure
that Mrs. Meyer would understand
her interest.
at was a farm there, and it's a
city here, but he has always adapted
himself easily to his surroundings in
cities we have visited"
"There is a difference. You see he
has been living here steadily for
nearly a year and has been COM
pletely uprooted from his old life.
Did he ever seem to be interested in
any one thing to the exclusion of
others in his Iowa homer"
"I never noticed. There were
horses, COWS, sheep, farm pets; he
took them all casually enough. But,
yes!" suddenly, "he loved his rab-
bits!"
"I've brought up three sons, will
you lend me your little boy occasion
ally? You see, my Robert is fond Of
him, and they make ideal play
mates"
"If you can make him talk and
answer his teacher, I'll be grateful"
said Harry Meyers mother.
Robert Dunn was surprised at his
gift the next day-a
0ure white rabbit with eyes as pink
as a summer evening sky.
''What do you think, Grandma
+berq Harry is coming into see my

Mr.. Anderson, her owner, has de-
velOped a special market for Jersey
cream and dispOses of his output to
a high class cOnfectioner in Youngs-
town, Ohio. He obtains an attractive
price for the cream and feeds the
skim milk to calves and hogs. He
states that this one COW made 1881
for him in the last year, in addition
to the S50000 obtained from the sale
of her four months old son. The
cost Of feed was $23000 leaving a
very satisfactory profit. The skim
milk was also of considerable value.

AMIERICANISM
As Defined By Great Americans
(From National Republicl

(trom National Republic)
We are bound to maintain public
liberty, and, by the example of our
own systems, to convince the world
that order and law, religion and
morality, the rights of conscience,
the rights of person and the rights
OF property, may all be preserved
and secured in the most perfect
manner, by a government entirely
and purely elective. If we fail in
this, our disaster will be signal, and
will furnish an argument stronger
than has yet been found, in support
OF those opinions which maintain
that government can rest safely on
nothing but power and coercion.-
Daniel Webster.
Milford chronicle., 1925-09-11

To all our means of culture is add
ed that powerful incentive to person
al ambition which springs from the
genius of our government. The path
way to honorable distinction lies
open to all. No post of honor is so
high but the poorest boy may hope
to reach it. 1t is the pride of every
American, that many cherished
names, at whose mention our hearts
beat with quicker bound, were
worn by the sons of poverty, who
conquered obscurity and became fix
ed stars in our firmament-James

Have you not learned that not
stocks or bonds or stately houses or
lands or products of mill or field
are our country? 1t is a spiritual
thought that is in our minds. It is
the flag and what it stands for; it is
the fireside and the home; it is the
high thoughts that are in the heart,
born of the inspiration which comes
of the story of the fathers, the mar
tyrs to liberty; it is the graveyard
into which our grateful country has
gathered the dust of those who died.
Here in these things is that thing
we love and call our country rather
than anything that can be touched
or handled. Let me hold the
thought-that we owe duty to our
country in peace as we'll as in war.

In the American state, the legisla-
ture is not supreme, but has limits |
to its authority prescribed by a writ

pens to pass a law which violates
the Constitution, then whenever a
specified case happens to arise in
which this statute is involved, it can
be brought before the court, and the !
decision of the court, if adverse to
the statute, annuls it, and renders it
of no effect. The importance of this
feature of civil government in the
United States can hardly be over
rated. 1t marks momentous ad-
vance in civilization, and it is es-
pecially interesting as being pecu-
liarly American. Almost everything

Cargo and Vessel Seized
We'll Known Seward Man Glad to Get. Out of Clutches of Soviet Gov
 rnment-Talked With Maud

NOME, Aug. P (P-The motor ship Blue Sea, arrived here late We'd nesday night from East Cape, Sibe- ria, bringing Captain Victor Jacobsen known throughout Alaska as "The Scurvy Kid" Jacobsen was captain of the Nome trading schooner Ram, which was wrecked recently in Sibe- ria. He said that Sam Malsage and two members of his crew were taken prisoners by the Russians and his yes sel and cargo seized. Malsage is a we'll known Russian trader, with many years experience trading between Nome and Siberia. He was arrested on a charge of taking furs out of the country illegally, and he and his crew were transported to Petropavlosk on the Soviet freighter for trial.
 Jacobsen said he was glad to get. back 'to Gods country" He declared he did not know why the Russians did not grab him too, unless it was becauase he talked louder, faster and more forcibly than his captors, he said.
 He talked to Capt. Nesting of the schooner Maud, which is still waiting for fuel. The crew of the Maud are anxious to get to Nome so they can eat fresh vegetables and eggs, which they have been denied since leaving Nome in 1922
 It was learned here that Malsage, before his departure from Nome, was returning to Anadyr with 50 or 75 fox skins, which were missing when the Ram arrived on the Siberian coast. Malsage contends that the skins were in transit, all the time in his posses sion, and were not taken out of Si- beria illegally.

 "The treaties being negotiated will make it more difficult for unscrupu- lous operators to take advantage of foreign flags. Customs officials are being organized on the sea fronts and all borders to prevent smuggling. The market is the most difficult problem, because of it's indifference to conse- quences, ignorance, and colossal gull libility. Some day the boxers will learn that their imported whiskey is being made in Canal street from in- dustrial alcohol, which will thus re- strain them from buying.

SICK FISHERMAN LEFT ON BEACH
 BY COMPANIONS
AFTER EIGHTEEN HOURS OF IN TENSE SUFFERING IS LEFT
 IN VACANT CABIN
Flies Blow Mosquito Bites
Trapper Finds Man Nearly Dead and With No Food-Now Recovering
 at Sand Point

A pityful tale comes from Portage Bay on this Starr, in letter to the Gateway from Andrew Grossvold:
 Four fishermen ran away from a codfishing schooner, with the inten- ton of getting across from Herindeen Bay on the Boring Sea side to Port age Bay on the Pacific, and then catch the mail boat for Kodiak, where some of them had made their homes for several years.
 At Herindeen Bay they hired out salmon fishing for the Everet Pack ing Company, until the cannery clos ed up. On the way from the cannery to the divide, they encountered very bad weather, with the result that one William Aucoin, through exposure and the hardships of the trail, became paralyzed and had to be packed over the peninsula by his shipmates.
 AS it is nine miles across the port age the trip took them all day, and when they arrived at tide water on the Pacific side, they left the unfor- tunate man on a sand bar while they went down to 'Portugue Franks" cabin for a skiff, and it seems they became interested in Franks brew and forgot their shipmate. They stay ed at the cabin that night and did not return to their companion until late the next afternoon.
 In the meantime the poor fellow Ia yon the bay, unable to move. Suf- fering from cold during the night and the hot sun the next day he was in a terrible state. With creek flow ing on both sides of him, he was un- able to reach the water, and only se- cured enough to moisten his lips by tying his cap to his belt and throw ing it the little distance he was able.
 During the eighteen hours he lay there the mosquitos worked on him until every exposed part of his body was raw and swollen.
 Upon returning his shipmates took him down to Franks cabin and there left him, placing the remains of an old dog salmon within his reach and a bucket of water by his bedside. The three men then started for Herindeen Bay to get their clothes and food they had left there, but failed to return.
 After five days one Harry High land, who lives about ten miles fur ther down the bay happened to take a trip up to Franks cabin and there he found Aucoin, nearly dead and al- most out of his head.
 The water that had been left him was full of flies, knats and mosqui- toes-the salmon was putrid Every part of the poor fellows body was a mass of sores from the bites, and blue flies had laid their eggs in the sores.
 Harry Highland took what was left of Aucoin down to his cabin, and with the untiring nursing and good treatment from Mrs. Highland and his little girl, he was soon on the road to recovery, but still had to be car ried aboard the power boat which took him to Unga, where Doctor Lane attended to him.
 ! According to our correspondent, the best the Unga people had to offer him was to put him in jail for vag- rancy-getting jail sentence for be- ing sick.
