THE GOVERNMENT IS WARNED Placidity of the Quiet Town Breaks In a Rally of the Eaters Resolutions For a Change and Spirited Raid on the Molasses Barrel. By M. QUAD. Copyright, 1910, by Associated Literary Press.J MY DEAR WILLIAM-I am no alarmist 1 have never alarmed even an old setting hen. Neither do 1 Jump at conclusions. If I owe a man a dollar I tnke a whole month to pay It In What I atn gofcig to any Is that 1 know Jericho from top to bottom. I know tier moods. I know what ber people are capable of when driven - to the wall. I know what It means when Elder Lysander Johnson walks about with his bands crossed under bis coat tails and a rye straw in bis mouth. Last week Jericho was enthusiastic. There was cheering and whooping and swinging of hats. The hens clucked In the sunshine, and Jericho creek babbled on Its way to the sea. A change has coma. Jericho is plac id. There Isn't a whoop. There Isn't a cheer. There Isn't a cluck. Kirs. PInkham has diagnosed the symptoms, and she agrees with mo U0LA8SES COME DOWN. that It Is the calm before the storm the placidity that an old cow takes on Just before she Is to let a hind leg go and plant a foot against your manly bosom. Monday morning Silas Qoodheart en tered my grocery and asked If the price of butter had come down. I an swered that 1 was sorry to say It had Jumped up instead, lie asked me bow long 1 thought the outraged people would stand It and went away sbak lug bis head and muttering. lie was followed by Moses Taylor, who asked for codfish. I hnd to tell him that cod Ash bad advanced. 'Tap," sold he as be drew closer and lowered bis voice to a whisper, "get ready tor trouble! The people have been driven to the dead line. If you have any Influence with the president set It to work at once." I tried to pump him, but It was no go. Ho Just gave me that warning and then walked out. I at once lowered tlio price of butter and codfish and had the same proclaimed through the town, but the placidity still continued. The butcher was called a robber; the cob bler was called a villain; the feed store man was looked at so menacingly that lie shut up shop and went to Dobbs Ferry for the day. Tuesday opened with the same pla cidity. Not a leaf stirred. Men simply bowed as they passed each other on the street. Not a cluck from a cluck ing ben. Mrs. P. and 1 both moved about as If tbero was fear of an ava lanche. Symptoms of Distress. On Wednesday there was a smell of sulphur In tlio air, and at intervals a faint rumbling was heard. 1 was un usually urbane and unctuous, both in tne postoiiico and grocery, but no smiles greeted me. I felt myself a marked man. Late in the afternoon Honry Smallman, who is known far and near for bis gentle disposition and the length of time It takes to collect a bill from him, entered the postoIBce with a musket on bis Bhouldcr. It was the same musket his grandfather car ried at Hunker UilK In a Joking way I asked him If ho was out for wood chucks, and the look be gave me sent a shiver up and down my spine. Tho answer ho mndo mo was that I had best go home early and not put my nose outdoors again until morning. William, I have fought grizzlies, In dinns, wildcats and men, but the situa tion took hold of me, and I followed Henry's advice. As I wolked through tho town after closing up I beard whis pers and murmurs and the loading of guns, nud men passed mo without even a nod. Mrs. PInkham sat down with the symptoms and diagnosed them to mean that something was going to bust be fore morning. She was correct, as usual. Something did bust, but we hnd passed a night of terror before we hoard the particulars. A public meet ing wns held ot Kagle ball, and the place was Jammed with men and wo men. They came nrmed with all sorts of weapons. It wns announced at the outset that If I appeared and attempt ed to break up the gathering my Ufa would be taken In five or tlx different sorts of ways. Rally of Consumers, Auuiuuna simtu, wno was never known to hurt a fly, was the first speaker, lie Jumped out and began to shout for blood the first thing. He de manded the life of every member of a trust and flourished a crowbar around his head as he demanded.' Adluabnd was followed by Jericho Jones, son of the founder of the town, lie has been known to faint away at eight of the blood when bobbing off a H.ebeep'a tall, but he was all there! that evening. Uo flourished an old sa uer una demanded that every grocer and butcher be tortured to death. Ills countenance took on such a look ferocity that people who had known him from childhood failed to recognize mm. fcaturaay Splllman was the third speaker. He is a man who will run sooner than tight and has been licked I by women, but on this occasion he sur prised everybody by appearing on the platform with a pitchfork and demand lng your scalp. He charged you with standing In fear of the trusts. and thus bringing about the extortionate prices of living, and he fairly roared for your scalp. They bad to tie bim up by the leg to keep him from starting for Washington at once. Resolutions For a Change. Silas Good heart was the last speak er. He made no attempt at oratory, but announced that I should be hung wun you on tne same limb. No pre amble was Introduced. The people couldn't wait for it They Just start ed right off with the following resolu tions: Resolved, That we give the president, Kim t ap i-iniinam, and otner Heads of gov ernment fifteen days from this date to move against every trust in the land; and. nesoivea, That It tliey don't move we will; and, Resolved, That the persons responsible ror mo present high prices of all food- biuiis, wnemer Belonging to trusts or not, be Investigated, locked up and kept tor ins next nve years on a diet of old ruDDer boots and axle grease; and. Resolved, That we demand a law mak ing It a crime equal to that of murder In the first degree for any person to put meat or foodstuffs In cold storage for over ten days; and, Jtesolved, That all meats, vegetables. wool and leather be admitted to this coun. try rrce or duty and that if prices don't come down we will see to It that Benator Aldrlch and others ioud: and. Uesolved, That as Old Tap PInkham has even barrels of N. O. molasses that he is homing at 65 oents a gallon we begin on mm me nrst thing tomorrow. William, that last resolution was car ried out to the letter. I had scarcely reached my grocery next morning when a committee carrying Jugs, palls and pitchers entered and demanded to know what 1 was gong to do about It. Did you ever read the story of Davy Crockett calling a coon to come down the tree? The coon came. So did 1. N. O. molasses went down to 35 cents a gallon as soon as I could find a piece of chalk to mark the heads of the barrels, and it was speedily fol lowed by codfish. At this writing 1 seem to have the situation well in hand as far as Jericho Is concerned, but the molasses Is going fast, and when the last barrel Is empty what the outraged populace Is going to say and do I can not predict. Something has got to be done In Washington. Don't be afraid of bring ing on a money panic. Let her come and be durned. It's a panic as it is. And meanwhile Teddy Is grinning and wondering what you are going to do about it, and W. J. B. is smiling and rubbing bis hands and saying: "Didn't I tell you how It would turn out?" OLD PAP PINKHAM, Present Postmaster, You Bet. A Thoughtful Lad. A Glddlngs schoolboy announced the other day that bo didn't want to go back to school. "Why not?" demanded bis father. "The teacher doesn't like you," the boy replied. "Doesn't like me?" the father ex claimed. "What do you mean by that? "Why, she sho wants to hurt your feelings." "See here, my amiable child," re marked the father with growing stern ness, "I want to know what you mean by this nonsense. Speak up." "It's like this, dad," said the boy 'Heneher lias sent you a letter tellln' you some things about about me an' I know It would hurt your feellu'a, an' sho shouldn't have done It, an' that's why I hate to give you tho let ter, 'cause It ain't treatln' you kind." Somebody's feelings wero hurt a llt tlo Inter, and then the boy slowly and stiffly went back to school. Cleveland Plain Dealer. Cut Off In Infancy. Mrs. Jones had been rending of germ laden banknotes. "Goodness gracious!" she exclaimed. "George, do you know how deadly dan gerous money really Is?" "I should say I do," replied her hus band. "Look at tho number of bills It has killed nt Albany alone!" ruck. Persiflage on Shipboard. Sho (on llnen-Sii you've crossed the ocean quite often? Ho Hundreds of times.

And that's enough. -Washington Star. Getting Away From Land. The question has been asked, la it possible to sail 1,000 miles from land? This can be doue nt several points. By leaving Sail Francisco and sail ing northwestward Into the north Pacific a spot is reached whero there is no land, not even nn islet, for 1,000 miles in any direction. So, too, sail lug from tho southern point of Kam chatka southeastward ships reach a polut equally distant from land of any kind, tho nearest to the north being tho Aleutian Islands and to the south the outlying member of th Sandwich group. In the southern Indian ocean it Is possible to sail 1,000 miles out from the southern points of Australia and New Zealand and still be as far from any other land, and tho same may be done in a westerly direction from Cape Horn. Indeed, from this point a much longer distance might be reached, for the southern Pacific between the norn and New Zealand covers a space of 80 degrees of longitude and 40 of lati tude of absolutely unbroken sea, mak ing Its central point over 1,200 miles from anywhere.
