First Chapter of the Book of Chronicles.
' -'w ‘
<1 And it c^me to pass, in the second
year of the reign of Theodore, also call
ed ‘The Strenuous, ’ that a certain out
lying province, pertaining to his realm,
had long been afflicted in divers ways.
* By reason of its remoteness, and rigor
ous climate, few there were who cared
to reside therein. Howbeit, as it was
rich in rare furs and precious metals,
it- the daring sons of men braved its dan
gers and privations for the sake of gain
and they did flock to the land of silvery
* midnight? Men of venturesome spirit;
some with their wives and little ones,
and made their habitations in the froz
en wilderness.
9 In those ddys the Great Sanhedron of
people, which in the New World is call
ed Congress, was greatly vexed by leg
' ions of parasites, known as office-seek
ers,%ho cried aloud and spared not giv
ing the rulers no peace, by day or by
night. And to some who had merit were
given places of great trust, and to oth
ers lesser positions. To each man ac
cording to his size, as nearly as might
be. But there yet remained an howling
hungry pack, who utterly refused to go
home or stop their yawp, by1 reason of
which the rulers were moved to great
cursing and bitterness.
<S Then Satan, whose private office is I
in the lobby, put it in the minds of those
who sat in high places, to give the lead
ing yav.pers positions in the Northland,
knowing full well that the small fry
would follow, even as the ox that know
eth his master’s crib. As he said, so
did they. Whereas did Satan chuckle
* w
mightly for he had already organized
. that region as a cold storage annex of
his own fiery kingdom. No sooper was
the pie apportioned than the motley
' . mob returned;, every man to his own
house, where he filled a carpet-bag with
doughnuts, and set his face to the north.
.. Q And Satan went behind the bam and
lay down in the grass, where he rolled
in ecstacy and howled for very joy.
Uncle Sam Buys Wood
Walter Sunborg secured the contract
t to deliver 30 cords of dry-wood in 12-ft.
lengths, to the Federal jail, at $6.90 per
cord. Three bidders put in the same
. figures, and rather than cut up the con
tract', the cards were cut. This is the
cheapest wood ever delivered to the jail
since it was located at Rampart.
