WOMAN GUARDS PROPERTY With Gun In Hand, Kanclier's Wlfo Holds Logger's Party at Bay. ABERPKEX. Wash., July JftWSpe- claL) Objecting to the removal of logs from her land because of the damage the dragging of the logs over her property would do, Mrs. P. D. Eno, wife of D. r.

VALUE 0FAN ANCESTRY Worth of Jefferson Hurls and Abra ham. Lincoln Contrasted. Washington (D. C Post. . The Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch, whose opinions on any and all suDjects merit attention, has taken a fall out of Prof. Dodd. of the University of Chicago, ror his attack upon "subsidizing capitalists and a "reptile press." which, according to the professor, are demoralizing af fairs in the Old Dominion, as they have already done In the States of the North and West. Incidentally, the Ledger Dispatch mentions a previous Doddism. to the effect that "The ancestry of Jef ferson Davis was no better than that of Abraham Lincoln." To which assertion It seems that several rejoinders were printed TS Richmond of a nature cal culated to bring no enjoyment to Dodd.- It must be the time of year, or a fondness for dead Issues, or a predilec tion toward the whimsical, that lends to tha latter statement of Professor Dodd a greater fascination than invests his strictures against tho money power snd an unscrupulous press. Perhaps it Is that these have been a trifle over worked In recent times, while the other, mellow with age and crusty with long seclusion, takes on the flavor of a rare vintage that waa bottled In tha days when tho ancestral question was a burning topic No one holds In soorn or light esteem the value of gentle birth. It Is a heritage so much greater than money that the two may not be mentioned In the same breath. A long line of unsul lied lineage Is an Incentive to manly honor, a bulwark behind which woman ly virtue may take shelter unafraid. Hut It should not become an empty boast. It was not meant to be traded upon, nor, like charity, to cover a mul titude of sins. Neither waa It Intended to be dragged In the dust of little dis sensions, nor made alone the determin ing factor as to the high seat and the social pas. While ancestry Is a good thing, it can bo overdone. If men go back far enough, they will surely find a common parent. Then they can sit down with Mark Twain and weep with him at the grave of Father Adam. It la not stated Just what the Rich mond rejoinders were. Presumably, they were something awful. But there have been decisions quite contrariwise from equally high sources. Burns waa a Scotch peasant, and declared that The rank is but the guinea's stamp; A man's a man for a' that! Burns may have been overbold. But he carried his democratic beliefs to Ed inburgh, as proud a city In bis day as the world held. And Sir Walter Scott has told how, when a child, he stood In tho stately company and saw Burns re ceived as an equal by the bluest blood and brightest Intellects of Scotland. Jefferson Davis was a gentleman born, as his life and his family tree equally prove. Abraham Lincoln was a gentleman born, as his life proved, without reference to his genealogy. Why not let It go at thatT If there ba those who rest wholly on ancentry, we commend them to the Incident of tho boy who repeated the Darwinian theory to his father. "You may have descend ed from a monkey, young man, but I didn't!" waa the haughty reply or the chesty parent. PENDLETON MAN CAUGHT Alleged Horscthief Arrested at Van couver- Put In Jail. VANCOUVER. Wash., July 20. (Spe cial.) Wanted In Pendleton, Or, for stealing horses. T. H. Redding, alias Big Slim, waa arrested here last night by George Sanford, JJeputy snerm.
