CHAPTER IV.
The Landlord.
'Kate's Narrative.
Of his llfo before ho reached this
provlnco Jesso will so far tell ma
nothing;, yet his speech betrays him,
ifor under tlio vivid dialect of tho
stock range, there Is a streak of sail
or, and beneath that I detect traces
of brogue 'which may bo native per
haps to Labrador. Out of a chaos of
books he has pecked words which ,
pleased him, pronounced, of courso,
'to suit himself, and used In some
sense which would shock any dic
ftionary. His manners and customs, too, aro (
ia field for research. Of courso one '
lexpects him to be professional with
Irone. eun. and ax. but how did ho
hearn tho rest? I wanted a lantern
ho made one; my boot was torn he
mado one; my water-proof coat was
ruined ho mado one; and If 1
asked for a sowing-machine, ho would
Irefuse to more camp until he had one
finished. If his name were not Smith
Jrom the Swiss fnmlly Robinson, u
a project sounds risky, I have to as
sume that It is something unusually
.safe, as the only way to keep him out
of danger. If I should ever wish to
be a widow, I have only to doubt his
3ower to fly without wings.
Guided by his uncanny woodcraft,
I began to meet tho parishioners,
.mountain sheep and goats, the elk
And caribou, eagles, bears, wolverines,
and certainly I shared something ofj
Messe's untiring delight in all wild
(creatures. Even when wo needed
meat In camp, and some plump goose,
or mallard was at tho mercy of his
Igun, Jesse would sometimes beg the,
'victim off, and catch more trout "So
hong as they don't hunt us," he would
jeay, "I'd rather tote your camera than
my gun. But thar's that flog-gono
beaver down tho crick, ho tried to
blto mo yesterday again. If ho dont
tame himself, I'll slap his face. Thinks
ho's editor.'
Were there no clouds, would we
realize that tho sky Is blue? If no
jlittle misunderstandings had risen
above our horizon, would Jesso and I
jhave realized our wedded happiness?
(How should I know when I read his
pocket diary, what was meant by "one
night out Took Matilda," or "Ma
tilda and Pussy tonight" or "marched
with Harem!" Matilda and Pussy
!lf you please, are blankets, and tho
jHarom Is his winter camp equipment
What would you "think If you found
ithls in a book?
po says It means, 'Eating-houso wom
an chasing Jesso galloping; homo
dead finish."
And eomo of it Is worse!
I dare not accuse my dear man of
being narrow-minded. I have no
idoubt that ho is quito satisfied in his
jintenso antipathy to niggers, dagos
jand chinks Indeed, ho will not allow
jmy Chinese servant on tho ranch. But
If I wished to uncork a choice vlnt
jagc of stories, I alluded to his preju
dice against tho word "grizzly" aB
.applied to his pet bear.
"Now thar's whar yore dead
iwrong." Ho throw a log of cedar
(upon our camp altar, making fresh In
cense to tho wild gods. "Tho land
lord's a sllver-tlp, fat as butter. Down
(in the low country, whar feed Is mean,
land Britishers nround, tho b'ars 1b
poor, and called grizzlies. I'd be
shamed to have a grizzly on my
iranch."
"Why Is the landlord called Eph?"
"Christian name. Most b'ars Is
fEphralm, but ho's Ephrata which
jmeans 'bo open.' I tried to got him
!to be open with mo Instead of steal
ling chickens. That'B whon tho bad
(year como."
"Were you in difficulties?"
"Eph was. Them canneries down

of petered out. He como to the cabin
and said, plain as talk, ho was nigh
quitting business."
"But, Jesso! A starving gr I mean
b'ar. Weren't you afraid even then?"
"Why for? My pardner attends to
his business, and don't Interfere with
my hawss ranch. Ho owns the grubs,
berries, salmon, wild honey and fix
ings. I owns the grass, stock, chick
ens, and garden sass. When wo dis
agreed about them cabbages, I shot
holes in his oars until ho allowed
they was mine. His ears Is still sort
of untidy. As to his eating Sarah,
wall, I warned her not to tempt poor
Eph too much."
"Sarah?"
"Jones' foaL Being a fool runs In
her family. WnlL Sarah died, and
cabbages was gettln' soldom, and Eph
was losing confidenco in my aim, al
though I told him I'm tough as sea
beef."
"Ho did attack you then?"
"Not exactly. His acts might have
been misunderstood, though. Seemed
Each Night He Would Set Up a Uttle
Tent for Me.
to mo It was time to survey tho pas
ture, and see how much In tho way
of grub could be spared to a poor
widower. These people eats meat but
they llko it butchered for em, and
ripened. Down at the south end, I
spared Eph a family of wolverines,
one at a time, to make the rations
hold out Ho began to get encour
aged. Then this place was just hum
ming with rattlesnakes, so Eph and
mo Just went around together bo long
as the hunting was worth tho trouble.
I doubt If there's any left"
At that I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then Eph gets sassy, wanting;
squirts and chipmunks. Now thar Ij
was firm. Every striped varmint of1
'em may rob my oat sacks, every'
squlrl may sot up and cuss all day.
but they won't get hurt. Though they
has enemies foxes, mink, skunk,
weasel, I fed that lot to Eph, saving
the foxes. Tell you, Kate, the land-,
lord began to get so proud he wouldn't
know mo."
"Your great eagles, Jesso; they
kill squirrels, too."
"That's a fact If I shot tho eagles,
them squlr'ls would got too joyful.
Eagles acks as a sort of religion to
squlr'ls, or they'd forget their prayers.
Tho next proposition was cougars."
"Oh, I'm glad you killed them. At
tho old ranch I was so terrified I'd
lie awake all night." -
"I'm sort of sorry. Many's the
time, camped on your bench land,
which I own is a good place for cou
gars, IM set np half tho night to
listen. They sang lovo songs, big
war songs, and all kinds of music.
Fancy you beln' scared!
Kill them? They're hard to see
as ghosts, and every time you fire
they Just get absent That ain't tho
reason though, for if tho landlord
wanted cat's meat I'd like to see the
fight"
Tho'd never daro to fight that
giant bear!"
"I dunno. Eph a!nt lost no cougars.
Ho treats them as total strangers.
"But tho real reason I fed no moun-taln-ilons
to Eph Is mostly connected
with sheep. Cougars does a right
smart business in sheep, 'specially
Surly Brown's Sheep Is meaner'n
snakes, sheepmen Is meanor'n sheep,
and If tho herders disagrees with the
cougars glvo mo tho cougars. Sheep
men is dirt"
There spoke tho unrcgenerate cow
boy! "But, Jesso dear, aro you euro that
Eph wont expect me to bo 'spared'
next timo ho's hungry?"
"Why, no. Ho was ralsod respect
able, and there's a proper etlquctto
for b'ars on meeting a lady. It's
sort of first dance-movementsi goa
eral slido, pass tho cloak-room, and
whars my little homo?
Jesxfe Nota.
N. B, Kato and mo agrees that tho
next chapter has to be cut out being
dull. It's all about tho barn-raising
after wo got homo to tho ranch. The
'neighbors put us upja flap blt cabin
cOrirrectlhg" to trae olff'tfrre' oy-a
ered porch of cedar shakes. That's
where tho fire-wood lives, tho water
butt the grindstone, which Kate says
Is exactly like my singing voice, like
wise the ax and saw.
Of course our house-raising was a
celebration, with a dance, camp-fire
water-butt full of punch, and head
aches. I bet five dollars I was the
only semaphore signaler In our dis
trict, and lost It to Iron Dale, who
learned signaling five years ago dur
ing tho Itlel rebellion. Cap Taylor
put up a signal system for our use,
of fires by night or big smokes by day.
j Ono means a celebration, two means
help, and three means war.
After, tho celebration wo settled for
tho winter, and I put all tho ponies
except Jones and tho sleigh team
(down in the canyon pasture. That
mado the ranch sort of lonesome, but
we're short of hay on account of tho
weddlng-trlp. We're broko.

Birds Shot With Water.
Shooting n humming bird with tho
smallest bird shot made Is out of the
question, for tho tiniest seeds of lead
would destroy his coat Tho only wny
In which tho bird can bo captured for
commercial purposes is to shoot him
with a drop of water from a blowgun
or a fino Jet from a small syringe.
Skillfully directed, tho water stuns
him. He falls into a silken net and
before ho recovers consciousness is
suspended over a cyanldo jar. This
must bo dono quickly, for if ho comes
to bis senses beforo tho cynnldo whiff
snuffs out his llfo bo la suro to ruin
his plumage in bis struggles to escape.
Humming birds vary In size from spe
cimens perhaps half as large as a
sparrow to those scarcely bigger than
a bee.

OUR CONSUMPTION OF LIQUOR
Compares Favorably With That of
Other Countries, Thanks to Activ
ity of Temperance People.
Our per capita consumption of
liquor compares favorably with that of'
other countries, thanks to tho tem
perance agitators.
When temperance peoplo aro de
risively told that the report of the
commissioner of Internal revenue
shows an lncrcaso In tho output of
tho brewers and the distillers, wo
inuBt consider the Increasing number
of immigrants who como to 'our ooun-
try with their own ideas of liquor
drinking. Tho quantity of beer con
sumed per capita in the United States
is not as great as in Bolglum, the
United Kingdom, Gormany or Den
mark; and our por capita consumption
of distilled liquor is less than that of
Denmark, Hungary, Austria, Franco,
the Netherlands and Sweden. The
quantity of wlno consumed In tho
United States Is loss por capita than
In Portugal. Spain, Italy, France,
Switzerland, Austria and Hungary.
We should consider how much worse
conditions would bo In tho United
States were It not for tho activity of
the tomperanco people of our country.
Wo understand thero 1b in tho liquor
warehouses an Immense amount of
liquor which has not yot been dis
tributed, but which is reckoned in the
internal rovonuo report.
SALOONS CAUSE OF TROUBLE
Convictions In Police Court of Brls
bano Increase Greatly When
Dram Shops Are Opened.
Tho citizens of Brisbano, Australia,
wero rcoontly glvon a striking Illus
tration of tho fact that arrests for mis
demeanors multiply with the opening
of saloon doors and decrease when
they swing shut A big strike was on
in tho city and many workmen wero
idle. As an experimental measure
tho saloons wore closed for ono week.
Convictions in tho pollco courts
promptly droppod from olghty-slx to
twenty-six, and arrests for drunken
ness from fifty to five. After one
week of prohibition the saloons were
permitted to do business from three
to six in tho Afternoon. Convictions
jumped to thirty-five, and arrests for
drunkennoB to fourteen. Next, tho sa
loons wero allowed to run twelve
hours each day. Convictions Jumped
to eighty-eight, and arrests for drun
kenness to forty. The following week
all restrictions were withdrawn, and
the- convictions numbered 109, tho ar
rests for drunkenness sixty-seven.
NOT A PRODUCER OF REVENUE
Intoxicating Liquor Is Not Necessity
Nor Luxury Fountain of Vice
Should Be Suppressed.
By ATTORNEY GENERAL DAWSON
of "Kansas.)
Our Ideas of equity acquiesce read
ily in tho doctrine that luxuries should
bear a heavier rate of taxation than
necessities. But Intoxicating liquor Is
neither a luxury nor a necessity. It
Is a vlco and the fountain of vice, and
wo have no moral right to depend
upon vlco as a source of revenue.
Luxuries aro to be taxed; vice Is to
bo suppressed. Furthermore, It can
bo shown from a myriad of proofs
that tho llcenso system Is not a reve
nue producer; it is not even what It
pretends to be. In cities whero the
prohibitory law has been enforced and
the revenue licenses or license fines
shut off, tho Incidents of the liquor
business court costs, paupers, de
pendent and neglected children, and
kindred publlo expenses, shrink also,
so that the loss of the llcenso rovonuo
does not affect tho ordinary taxpayer.
What He Made.
A prosperous liquor dealer was
boasting to a group of men standing
near his saloon of the amount of
money ho bad mode.
"I have mado $1,000 In the last
three months,' he said.
"You have mado more than that"
quietly remarked a listener.
"What 1b that!" was tho quick re
sponse. "You have mado my two eons
drunkards. You have mado their
toother a broken-hearted woman. Ton
have made much more than I rookon,
but you'll get tho full account somo
day!"
Had Been Tried.
The polloo court magistrate of a
southern town was talking to his
friend, a distiller. "Judge,' ho asked,
"havo you ever tried my number one
brand of old Markhamt" "No, John,"
admitted the magistrate, "but I tried
three men In court today who had
tried It"
God's Great Levers.
There are tho samo difficulties in
onforclng tho restrictions of lloenso as
thoso of prohibition. Wo havo also
learned that If prohibition does not al
wnva nroblblt neither does civiliza
tion always clvlllzo, nor education ed-
uoatb. nor Christianity unriBuaniio.
But they aro God'B great bvers by
