The trusts don’t object so much
to the cut of their new style gov
ernment suits, but they want the
pockets as wide, deep and numer
ous as ever.
Eulogies of the dead are beauti
ful tnings to read, but the dead
might have better listened while
alive to the same glorious words
spoken now by those who were
wont to detract.
Since th:s is to be a year of much
pelitics and the choosing of many
county and state officers, just ask
yourself this question when you are
weighing the merits of a candidate:
Is he of such force of character and
ability that you, if you were con
ducting a business enterprise, would
you hire him. The business of run
ning a county or state is in no wise
different from that of private en
terprise. In fact, you are entrust
ing to public officials a great deal
more responsibility than you could,
most o| yoo. entrust to any hired
man or office assistant. Just let
this faifc^oak in when you are test
ing out Ihe statements of candi
dates for this year's election.
The peculiarity of some laws ap
peals to us. In Oklahoma the other
day a boy stole a bicycle from a
companion. When brought into
court the owner of the wheel testi
fied that he had bought the wheel
piecemeal, picking up a piece here
and there until he had enough 10
make up the wheel. He said the
total cost had been $19 99. The
theft of $20. under the laws of
Oklahoma, constitutes grand lar
ceny. punishable by a sentence in
the penitentiary. The one cent
makes it a case of petit larceny,
punishable only by a fine or a short
jail sentence. In other words, the
thief will be sent to jail, probably,
for petit larceny. Had the bicycle
been worth $20 the boy would go
to state’s prison. Although such
the law looks foolish there must be
a dividing line somewhere, we sup
pose. It seems rather hard, how
ever, on the boy who. not a keen
judge of values, is unfortunate
enough to steal a wheel worth
$20.01. for instance.
MAN WHO DRIFTED ON
By GEORGE PATTILIO.
While we dawdled in the shade cast
by the wagon, the Bantys told us'their
history. It was that of restless wan
derers who constitute a never-ceasing
caravan from as far fcast as Louisiana,
wending westward and north through
Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and
Arizona. They find a virgin country,
break it, and nature heaps her boun
ties in their laps. Then comes a bad
year, and they have made no pro
vision; or the spirit of the rover, that
will not die, wakes once more; again
their wagons take their whining way
through the wilderness.
Surely the goal will prove fabulously
rich; always that hope—it never burns
out. The memory of starvation can
not dim; hardships and distance do
but fan it; it fires their souls as the
lure of gold tempts prospectors. Anfl
on their heels comes the plodding
farmer, who goes patiently to work to
wrest a living out of the claims
they have abandoned, and wakes,
some morning, to find that civilization
is knocking at his door and he is
rich.
Tlanty had tried raising maize close
to the nations. No; the climate did
not agree with him and his wife.
•'1 liked it, Ed,” she protested.
“But it wasn't doing you no good.
Goldie," he said. "I could see that
ea*y.”
He bad nothing to say against the
climate. It was good enough climate,
but its effects were far from satisfac
tory. In consequence, they had dis
posed of their acres to migrate to the
Panhandle. All that w as years ago.
“That land is selling at $20 an acre
now, * I observed.
"Twenty dollars. I swan! Do you
hear that, girl? This genTman says
they're paying $20 an acre for that
plains land," said Rarity, his eyes glit
tering. "And we done sold ours for
$.2. If we'd only waited! ’
"Yes," his wife sighed; "it's too bad
And we done lost that $1,900 in New
Mexico, you recollect, Ed?"
Indeed, he did. Banty wagged his
head over the inscrutable ways of the
jade Fortune, and murmured, "Well,
well. Who’d have thought it?”
This was a worn-out tale to us, one
of little meaning. Nesters came and
nesters went. If they did not go soon
enough we sometimes furnished the
impetus, for, of course, the southwest
was intended by the Creator to be a
cow country, and it is an iniquity that
agriculturists should win it for corn
and cotton and other mainstays of
life.
Banty had fenced a quarter section
near El Capitan mountains, and, with
this as a base of operations, had put
his nestegg in sheep. But the sheep
had dived over a cliff on a night of
rocking storm, and there was none
to prove what, t>r who, propelled them.
Much good it would have done him
could he have proved it. So once more
he had gathered his scant belongings
into a wagon to set out for that
promised land.
"This is the last time; yes, sir,"
cried Banty, in his excited cracked
tones. “Where we're going now they
say it's a regular Garden of Eden, ■
like what the Good Book tells about.
All you have for to do is to stir the
ground some and you’ve got a crop.
Six cuttings of alfalfa In a year; yes.
sir."
"And don't forget how calm and
peaceful it all is, Ed,” Goldie spoke
up. “Don't you mind how Brother
Ducey said they were all so friendly?
He said no man's hand was lifted
against his neighbor, Brother Ducey
did.”
“Huh-huh,” Dave grunted. He had
given the recital his most earnest at
tention, and now he shook his head
j-eprovlngly.
“That’s just the way it is every time
—the way you done. It’s what I've
been telling these boys here for ten
years,” he declared. “Birds of a
feather gat'-no moss.”
“What's that you say, Mr. Dave?"
“A rolling stone gathers no feath
ers,” Dave corrected sternly. “You all
know what I mean.”—McClure's Maga
zine.
Only Perfect Gem.
The pearl Is the only gem not need
lng the hand of man to bring it to
perfection, says the Gentlewoman.
History afTords ample evidence of the
intense fascination. It has always ex
ercised among the people of every age.
It is the oldest object of personal
adornment. The records of the Ro
mans, Rabylonians, Persians and Egyi>
tains make mention of it.
, Coming to more recent epochs, wo
find that Philip II., King of Spain, paid
$200,000 for a single pearl known as
“Peregrlna.” Found in Panama, it
was pear shaped and weighed 121
carats. Another king of Spain, Philip
IV., purchased one weighing 126 car
ats. It was brought from India.
France owns some exquisite exam
ples, but the basest pearl known is
that which was .'nee the property of
the banker, venry Philip Hope.
Cylindrical in form, it is two inches
long, four and a half inches in circum
ference at one end and three and a
half Inches at the other. It weighs
1,800 grains and is valued at $3,000,000.

Uncle Erra—You don't seems to

Uncle Ehen—Nope. He’s too old
fashioned. He won’t fight about any

about Andy Johnson's impeachment,
