Ho has filled with unallay ed gladness the heart of every young ster who can beg, buy or borrow a tied, and Is yep pouring the gnow down plentifully from tho great Ice mills he Ik working In the big upstairs of the Hky. More than that It all means that Jood Dame Naluru Is preparing to be good to Grande Konde valley as well life to the rest of the great coun try and will give them abundant wa- tei lor the crops of the Hummer and fall.

The first thing he did was to declare China a republic and elect a Christian man, Dr. Sun Yat Ken, president. Ho will see It through, we me sine. Tho unconriuered rem nant of tho Maiichus are "hugging the delusive phantom of .liopo" and blind ly expecting to retain the already "lost chiiho" but tho various nations of tho earth are In sympathy with the new Idea. The combination of Hear and Lion at leiiHt succeeded In ousting the Am erican, Sinister, from the llnanclal de partment of Persia's affairs. Russia hits made an advance as fur as Tabriz and committed despicable outrages (which, of course, Kugland must Btttiu! by) In tho exocutloil of several pat riotic citizens who stood for their homes and their rights. In 1 25;! tho Mongols of llusKu did the same thing In the sumo city, ltussla Is tho pro tested barbarian among the nations of the globe, Mucnuso sho Is big, she Is boldly belligerent and blustering. Her Cossacks are savages and her nobility varnished heathen. The several would-hu-candldates for the pr sidoncy of tho United States are slipping about among the people like a soft hoy In school and asking! with bashful boldness: "Did you hear any of the girls say anything about ; me today?" Their tentacles are nn-! lion wide following the tlnild touch. of their political atteniie, l.lke a cold blanket, but not near ly so full of comforlng promise as ! tho falling snows, is the wave of frlg-j Idity sent out by "them fellers what j lix tho taxes" down nt Salem.

He turns In the amount asked for, and keeps the rest for his trouble. He Is a lax-farmer. Some persons arc sometimes bold enough to say that is the way things are done In America in places, but of course that could not be thought of for a minute. Last Tuesday night the outgoing i lly administration buckled the mun icipal harness onto the freshly brand ed bronchoes and hitched them to the city cart. They seem to be bridle wise already and the people are pleas ed with the Way they trot on. The late mayor niado himself many friends and as city physician, Dr. -niohardson will be more and more loved by the needy who will have hig calls, Mr. Walden Is honored with the position of head of tho night force, tho hardest stunt to perform in things peace-keeping. At night the roughs try to find play grounds they fear to attack i'i tho daylight; but thanks to the well lighted condition of our streets, rogues hnvo little opportunity to ac complish much.
