Queer Notions Held by People of
Different Countries Regard
ing the Bow
In many countries the rainbow is
spoken of as being a great bent pump
or siphon tube drawing water from
the earth by mechanical means In
parts of Russia in the Don country
and also in Moscow and vicinity it
is known by a name which is equiva
lent to the bent water pipe In
nearly all Slavonic dialects it is
known by terms signifying the cloud
siphon and in Hungary it is the
pump Noahs pump and Gods
pump The Malayan natives call ir
hy the same name that they do their
manded water cobra only that they
add boba meaning double headed
the equivalent in our language being
the double headed water snake
They tell you that the bow is a real
thing of life that it drinks with its
two mouths and that the water is
transferred to the clouds through an
opening in the upper side of the cen
tre of the great arch In the province
of Charkav Russia the rainbow is
said to drain the wells and to prevent
this many are provided with heavy
tight fitting stone platforms
In the province of Saratov the bow

Governor Hughes the Legislature and
Primary Reform

BELIEVE that Governor
Hughes has been support
ed by the bulk of the wis
est and most disinterested
public opinion as regards
most of his measures and
positions and I think that this has
been markedly the case as regards
direct primary nominations I know
that many honest and sincere men
are on principle opposed to Governor
Hughes on this point and I know also
that the proposed reform will very
possibly accomplish less than its ex
treme advocates expect while I am
well aware as of course all thinking
men must be that the worth of any
such measure In the last resort de
pends upon the character of the vot
ers and that no patent device will
ever secure good government unless
the people themselves devote suffi
cient energy time and judgment to
make the device work Finally I
freely admit that here and there
where the principle of direct nomina
tions has been applied in too crude
shape or wrongheadedly it has while
abolishing certain evils produced or
accentuated others in certain cases
for instance putting a premium upon
the lavish expenditure of money
But while I freely admit all this I
nevertheless feel in the first place
that on the fundamental issue of di
rect primary nominations the Gover
nor is right and in the second place
that as the measure finally came up
for action in the state legislature it
was well nigh free from all objections
save those of the men who object to
It because they are fundamentally op
posed to any change whatever in the
desired direction The bill provided
only for direct popular action in the
primaries in relatively small geo
graphical and political communities
thereby making the experiment first
where there was least liability to se
rious objection and avoiding or defer
ring the task of dealing with those big
communities where the difficulties and
dangers to be overcome would be
greatest Moreover while guarantee
ing full liberty of individual action it
also provided for the easy mainte
naance of party organization and
thereby avoided some very real dan
geis among them that of encourag
ing the use of masses of the minority
party in any given district to dictate
the actions of the majority party In
other words the proposed bill while
it marked a very real step in advance
was tentatively and qaytiously fram
ed and provided all possible safe
guards against abuses If in practice
it had failed to work in any particu
lar there would have been no possible
difficulty in making whatever amend
ments or changes were necessary
The Republican party was in the
i
IDEAS ABOUT THE R J BOW
majority In both houses of the legis
lature which refused to carry out the
Republican governors recommenda
tions and although it was only a
minority of the Republican members
which brought about this refusal the
party cannot escape a measure of re
sponsibility for the failure but it is
only just to remember that a clear
majority of the Republican members
of each house supported the bill
whereas three fourths or over of the
Democrats opposed It This is one
of the cases where it is easier to ap
portion individual than party responsi
bility
Those who believe that by thei
action they have definitely checked
the movement for direct popular pr
maries are in my judgment mistakes
In its essence this is a movement tc
make the government more demo
cratic more responsive to the wish11
and needs of the people as a whole
With our political machinery it is e
sential to have an efficient party by
the machinery ought to be suited t
democratic and not oligarchic custom
and habits The question whether i
u seii Koverninc republic we shall
have self governing parties is largn j tni nw clow
than the particular bill We hold tha
the right of popular self government is
Incomplete unless it includes the right
of the voters not merely to choose be
tween candidates when they have
been nominated but also the right to
determine who these candidates shall
be Under our system of party gov
ernment therefore the voters should
be guaranteed the right to determine
within the ranks of their respective
organizations who the candidates of
the parties will be no less than the
right to choose between the candi I
dates when the candidates are pre
sented them There is no desire to
break down the responsibility of
party organization under duly consti
tute party leadership but there is a
desire to make this responsibility real
and to give the members of the party j
tho Tight to scy whom they desire to
execute this leadership In New York
state no small part of the strength of
the movement has come from the pop
ular conviction that many of the men
most prominent in party leadership
tend at times to forget than in a
democracy the function of a political
leader must normally be to lead not
to drive We the men who compose
the great bulk of the community wish I
to govern ourselves We welcome
leadership but we wish our leaders
to understand that they derive their
strength from us and that although
we look to them for guidance we ex
pect this guidance to be in accord
ance with our interests and our
ideals

I confess to being rather particular
about my pajamas said the fastidi

last week that nearly gave me nervous
prostration until I saw the humor of
the situation I was staying in a little
country town down in Maryland and
it was necessary to send some soiled
clothing to the laundry the one laun
dry of which the village boasted
Judge of my surprise when my
stuff was returned to me to find that
my pajamas had been heavily
starched with decided creases ironed
down in front I was not only en
raged but mystified as well until in
looking over the bill I came to this

TRACING COUNTERFEITS
Exciting Employment For Skilled Se
cret Service Men
The tracing of counterfeit bills back
to the persons responsible for thoir is
sue Is u ciirloiiH nud exciting employ
ment The expert assigned by the
government to this work ure among
the most skillful members of the se
cret service The protection of the
rurrenrr depends In large measure up
on their etlieleney und the pains they
Hike are almost infinite The follow
ing case Is one illustrating the diffi
culties which the secret service people
meet mid overcome
A lunik clerk in Cleveland had de
tected 11 counterfeit twenty dollar hill
In the deposit of n small retail grocer
An expert was sent for and under
took the case
lie found that the grocer had re
ceived the bill from n shoe dealer who
had It from a dentist who had it from
somebody else and so on until the
secret service man finally traced the
had note to an Invalid woman who
had used it to pay her physician
When questioned thh woman said that
tho money bad been sent her by her
brother who lived In New Orleans
Tho sleuth looked up the brothers
antecedents nud soon became con
vinced that he was the man wanted
The brother however soon proved to
the satisfaction of the secret service
man that his suspicions were unfound
ed Indeed it appeared thnt the mon
ey had been received by the New Or
leans man in part payment for rent
of a house he owned In Pittsburg
While the sleuth was a bit discour
aged he couldnt give over the case
when he had gone so far so he took
the next train for Pittsburg
The tenant of the house in Pitts
burg1 proved to be a traveling oculist
who spent most of his time In the mid
dle west The secret service man had
the good luck however to catch him
just as he had returned from a trip
and the man at once recognized the
bad bill as one that had been given
him by a patient in Cleveland the
very point whence the sleuth started
The patient was a boss carpenter
The secret service man got his address
from the oculist and went right after
At this point he had a
premonition that something was going
to happen and be wasnt disappointed
The carpenter an honest old fellow
said that be had received the bill from
a certain Parker The said Parker
was the small grocer in whose bank
deposit the counterfeit bad turned up
The expert flew to the grocers as
quickly as a cab could take him and
found it closed He had left town
Afterward it was shown beyoud
question that the grocer was the agent
of an organized band of counterfeiters
His shop was a mere blind That the
bill which he pave the carpenter
should yet hack into his own funds
after traveling all over the continent
was one of those miracles of chance
for which there is no explanation

Interest In Ancient Days
As a rule the ancients frowned upon
the idea of interest They called it
usury and except in the case of
wardships and trusts when the law
insisted upon money being usefully in
vested they looked upon the man who
lived by investments as a bad char
acter and his trade as a disreputable
one Even Aristotle a most advanced
thinker in many respects talked most
energetically against money calling it
a barren thing which could produce
nothing without violating nature It
was not until the crusades that the
money lender had any standing or re

Old time acts of parliament in Great
Britain aimed to stop Sunday travel
ing In 1500 for example two men
were found guilty of the crime of
walking from Bristol to Bath on a
Sunday and were at once fined 20 shil
lings i4S0 each All business was at
a standstill on a Sunday Nothing
was allowed to be sold except milk
For all the traders of England the

Willy having no record of the quan

to give every mourner as much us be
wished with the result that the fu
neral procession having to traverse
ten miles to the churchyard on a short
November day arrived only at night
fall Then it was discovered that the
mourners halting at a wayside inn
had rested the coffin on a dike and
left it there when they resumed their
journey The corpse was a day late
in arriving at the grave
would know were there until pointed
out to you The guns are all disap
pearing and to the casual observer
nothing of interest would be noticed
on these commanding points Arriv
ing at Victoria B C about noon of
June 2Cth we stopped at the King
Edward hotel for lunch and engaged
rooms for the night In the after
noon visited many points of interest
including the Admiralty Victoria navy
yard and some of the war ships of
Great Britain In dry dock was the
steel passenger S S Yucatan which
was wrecked off the coast of Seward
Peninsula Alaska and while she lay
there on the rocks the waves swept
her decks clean of every thing She
was being fixed up so she could go
under her own steam to Portland for
125000 repairs
Victoria is a left handed city all
vehicles taking the left hand side of
the street Pedestrians in meeting
turn to the left and teams when at
rest stand in middle of street instead
of by curb
Monday morning went down to the
dock near where stands the old
fur warehouse of the Hudson Bay Co
built in 1620
We took the steamer Beatrice own
ed by the Michigan Pacific Lumber
Co of which Coleman Cochran and
Moore are one third owners having
sold two third interest to New York
capitalists for 7C0000 and sailed to
their logging camp 30 miles up the
coast on the British side Arriving st
camp those of the party who had
stood the rough voyage on the straits
took a walk into the big woods 3200
acres of which are owned by this
company and after a stroll of two
hours returned to camp and enjoyed 3
splendid dinner served by a good
Chinese cook After dinner a little
walk to the mouth of the Jordan riv
er and back along the beach past a
little camp of Siwash Indians com
pleted the day
Next morning with a delightfully
cool sea breeze blowing took a more
extensive trip into the timber and
saw logging in its entirety Three
donkey engines in as many different
places were snaking logs through the
timber in some cases a quarter of
a mile the huge logs some of them
six feet through and 40 feet long
plowing their way through brush
roots and dirt but coming right
along up onto the platform where
they are rolled onto cars with the
same engine
These log trains are taken down to
the pier with geared road engines
and the logs dumped into the ocean
put into booms and towed to Victoria
to the saw mill cut into lumber and
One ship a four-
masted sailing vessel was loading
with three million feet of lumber for
the East Indies The timber is very
thick on the ground This company
is working about 500 men at the mill
and in the timber and by working
diligently will have this 32000 acres
nearly cut in a hundred years
Their saw mill at Victoria is very
extensive and complete in appoint
ment
The ride from camp back to Victor
ia by moonlight was very pleasant
and a visit to parliament building
j quite interesting Victoria is a plea
sant clean city J H Moore is gen
eral manager of the lumber company
and is building a new home in Victor
ia C A Ward has the contract and
is putting up a fine building which
will be finished about September 1st
The voyage from Victoria to Seat
tle on the Princess Charlotte was
perfect Regrading Seattle is very
extensive some of the hills being
taken down 105 feet The growth of
the city in last eight years is re
markable and many fortunes will he
made in this as yet undeveloped
country Seattle with her Alaska and
oriental trade is destined to become
a great city and has the finest pro
tected deep water harbor in the
world
The journey from Seattle to Spo
kane is through good country farms
look prosperous Spokane is a good
business city and quite up to date
Taking an electric car fourteen
miles to Greenacres we found Mr
and Mrs C B Sawyer nicely located
on their splendid fruit farm and had
a very nice visit with them and also
with their daughter Kathryn who
was home on a little visit Mr Saw
yer has one of the cleanest and
nicest orchards that we saw on our
trip
Leaving Spokane in the evening
reached Missoula about eight oclock
next morning and spent the day
there Expected to visit Dr J H
Hares ranch in the Bitter Root val
ley but missed our train and put
in the day seeing the town The ride
from Missoula to Sheridan is through
the Crow agency and past the histor
ical Custer battle field marked by
many monuments The stars and
stripes are kept flying there At
Sheridan as guests of J R Sirclumb
and family we had a very pleasant
visit and in a quito way celebrated
the Glorious Fourth A little visit

THE END
Only a Dollar Now
The Lincoln Daily Journal has cut
its price to a dollar from now until
January 1 1911 without the Sunday
The big Sunday paper will be added
for only a quarter extra therefore
most people will no doubt take the
125 worth This makes an exceeding
ly low price during a specially inter
esting time as nearly every family
will want a Lincoln paper during the
next few months The State Journals
reputation as a free independent
clean newspaper will prove of special
advantage during the warm campaign
now begun The paper stops when the
time is up without any notice from
you whatever so that you see it is io
plan to get you started and then force
the paper on you
Bixby the poet philosopher of The
Journal is worth the price of admis
sion himself State telegraph is a
strong feature and sporting cranks are
well satisfied The thing above all
others is the fact that when you see
anything political in The Journal that
its for the benefit of the people at
large and not for the selfish political
interest of the owners No booze ads
no nasty medical ads no fraudulent
investment schemes Fact is its the
kind of a paper you want in your fam
ily Why not try it a dollars worth
at this cut price I
