JOHN 6. BRADY
It was late in life when the hand of
misfortune wn? laid heavily upon John
G. Brady, for he Is three-score years
and ten. Seventy years of this world's
battles usually carry with them an ex
pectation of relief for the balance of
one's days, but such is not what the
tickle Goddess has made for the unfor
tunate former governor. A ruined and
brokeu old man, John G. Brady, the
victim of a keen and cultured scouu
d el, has no complaint to make for the
treatment he has received? no whim
per about the losses he has suffered.
His first thought is about the friends
who, through faith in him, have seen
their savings swept from them. All
the world knows that John Brady is
honest. His fatal error was in confid
ing absolutely in the judgment and
honesty of H. D. Reynolds, by whom
he was betrayed. But since the whirl
ing of this oil world began the story of
betrayal has been daily recorded, and
the cas? of John Brady Is but like the
one of yesterday, tomorrow and thoee
that will come up until time shall be no
more. It Is idle for newspapers to
maintain that Governor Brady benefit
ed by the failures at Valdez- his all
was with the rest.
The fact that Governor Brady was
connected with a religious denomina
tion in a prominent manner has been
the cause of much of the bitterness
that is expressed against him. This is
wrong A man's failures, shortcom
ings and good qualities should not be
gauged by the number of times he goes
to church. >'or should his standing be
rated according to the particular de
nomination he adheres to.
The religion he followed was what he
learned to lisp at the knee cf some good
woman and the misfortunes he recently
sufff red were brought about by confi
dence in a false Jriecd. Wherein, then,
should John G. Brady be blamed?
STRANGENESS OF MAN
Men are queer. Now wouldn't there
be a roar when they went home to their
meals, if they had to climb up on a high
stool in front of a table on which there
was no cloth, and eat their meals in
that fashion? Yet a majority of men,
when they go to a restaurant to eat,
will pick out the highest stool and
feed-board with no cloth on It, in pref
erence to a comfortable chair and a
cloth-covered table, A man will
borrow a chew of tobacco, and most
of them will set their teeth into the
plug right where some other man has
gnawed out a chew. Offer them a
piece of pie at home from which the
wife or one of the children ha# taken a
bite, and they would holler their heads
off. At home such a fellow will not
urink out of a glass or cup from which
one of the family has been drinking.
Call him into a back stall of a dirty old
liverv barn, pull out a bottle and he
will stick the neck of the bottle half
way down his throat in order to get a
swig after a dozen other fellows have
had the neck of that same bottle in
their mouth. Man is a queer thing. ?

IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
"It is fomewhat amusing to contrast
the treatment of the anti -Asiatic riou
In Vancouver by the English newspa
pers with the comments of the same
newspapers upon a much milder affair
in San Francisco. Nothing was suffi
ciently harsh to sjy of the riotous ele
ment in San Francisco, while there are
excuses found for the actions of the
British Columbia mob, not on account
of the exhibition of race prejudice, but
on economic giounds.
"The London Times, following the
lead of its New York correspondent,
places the responsibility for the Van
couver outbreaks upon agitators from
the American side of the border, for
getting; that the agitators could have
accomplished nothing had they not
found a mob in hearty sympathy with
them. For the matter of ttiat, the
United States could n well excuse itself
for all of the actlAsiatio agitation by
the easy showing that tbo bead and
front of that agitation is foreign to our
soil, the leaders being a'aiost uniformly
men of foreign birth.
"The London Spectator, now that the
agitatlou i? in British territory, rather
tfcan American, takes ground In favor
of exclusion of Asiatics from British
Columbia. It points out that the gov
ernment of India has tbe right, which
It has exercised in the past, to forbid
emigration, and considers that the time
is opportune for that government to
make provision against any further ml
gratlon of Hindus to British Columbia.
The case is different with Chinese and
Japanese immigrants, but tbe time has
come, in the Spectator's view, when it
is necessary to 'treat openly and frank
ly with tbe governments of China and
Japan, to plead the necessity, in the In
terests of peace, of preventing any ra
cial conflicts, and to induce them by
persistent diplomacy to prohibit the
migration of laborers except under
strict restriction as to number, charac
ter ;#nd, if possible, return.'
' This is the manner in which the
UnLed States has endeavored to treat
with tbe same problem. It is note
worthy what changes in tbe viewpoint
occur occasionally. Who would have
expected, a few years since, to see Eng
lish newspapers commending and urg
iag for adoption the Chinese exclusion
policy of this country."? Seattle Post
Intelligencer.
Down on a Southern plantation the
dairy hands were accustomed to do the
milking squatting down in a primitive
fashion, until the owner introduced
milking stools with other Improve
ments. But the initial experiment
with the innovation was not exactly a
success. The darky who fiist sallied
forth with the stool returned bruised
and battered and with empty pall. '*1
done my best', sab," he exclaimed.
"Dat stool looked all right to ir". l??v
de blamed cow she won't sit on it."

MELODRAMA RESUMES
Once more the villain wants the faun,
likewise the farmer's girl.
Once more the hero's strong rl?ht arm
defends the priceless pearl.
Once more the villain sets a trap and
digs a fearsome pit.
Once more the handsome hero ch*p
walks blindly into it.
Ooce more we watch with bated breath
th9 thrilling sawmill scene. .
Once more th Lerofuc sdeith beneath
the blades so keen.
3ut, see ! Here coairs the hero's man !
The villain beats retreat !
And virtue reigns supreme again, at 5O
cents per seat.
