FAVOR OF STATESMEN.
congressman Believe that Wyoming
Should be a State.
Judge Carey Speaks of the Future
of Federal officials.
Restoration of the Mineral Belt,
The Reservoir Scheme.
FAVORABLE

Delegate Carey, who returned from
Washington yesterday said to a LEADER
representative who called at his Office last
evening that congressman and senators
whom he had lately met looked with ia
vor upon Wyoming's suit for statehood.
In Judge Carey's opinion the admission
of the territory is reasonably certain if the
people co operate in the statehood move
ment and throttle political schemes dur
ing the transition from vassalage to state
hood implying free agency and equitable
representation at Washington. The del
egate is inclined to the belief that Wy
oming will be kept knocking at the door
many years il the state enabling act is not
adopted at next winters session of con-
gress. He thinks that body will convene
in October or November of this year.
HANDS OFF.
Judge Carey was asked as to the prob
able lease of official life of the Democratic
incumbents OF federal positions. Accord
ing to the delegate there will be no
further changes until this fall unless these
officials interfere with Republicans.
Then they must GO he said. Unless these
Democratic appointees offend Republican
leaders thev will probably be allowed to
remain until their terms expire. II have

Moonlight removal, ;" remarked the dele

the sort Of a man the people wanted for

THE MINERAL BELT.
Wyoming's representative is rather
proud of his part in the work of secur-
ing again to the public domain the large
area Withdrawn on suspicion of being
mineral land. This tract was more than
a third of the entire territory
and included fine lands in
Crook, Converse, Laramie, Albany,
Carbon, johnson, and Fremont counties.
The area of the alleged mineral belt is
% 5000, 900 acres. There we're many squat
ters on these lands who may now secure
patents, while settlers will soon be attract
ed to the section. This withdrawal was
particularly grevious to farmers near Lusk
aud Buffalo.

Prices in Ecuador,s Cnnito,

There are no fixed prices for anything
In the stores of Quito, says a. writer in
Youth's Companion. If you ask the cost
OF an article the merchant will reply:
'How much will you give for itso If
you name sum he will then ask twice
or three times rs much as YOU offer, and
negotio with you The women in the
market will sell nothing by wholesale.
II potatoes are medic, six cents
pound, every pound will be weighed out
separately, no matter whether you buy
two pounds or u bushel.
There is no money smaller than the
qnnrtlllo, three cents. so the change is
made in loaves of bread. On his way to
market the buyer stops at the bakers, and
fills his basket with bread to make
change with, 80 many rolls to the penny.
very few people have money, and those
who have lack confidence in their neigh
bors, so everything has TO be paid for in
advance.
Ii you go to n market woman, and tell
her you want such and such vegetables,
she asks for your money. When you
give it to her she hands you what YOU
have bought. If you order a coat at the
tailor's, or boots Mt the shoemaker's you
have to pay for them in advance, for
they may not have the means to get the
materials ut the wholesale store. and
have no credit. The landlord at the
hotel. or at the boarding. house where
you are staying comes around every
morning before he goes to market, and
asks you to pay for board for the day.
Otherwise he could not buy food.

Thou hast not liyed-they passed thee by in

And then again, when wantoning aud glad,
The heart holds revel. whilo its tcnse

Boneath life's joyous fingers, speaks sad

THY years to thee are told;

And thou art DID,"

Why the Teeth Chatter.

1t is through tho skin, and only
through the skin, that we receive sensa.
tions OF temperature. The chattering of
the teeth from the feeling of cold is
caused by what is termed reflex action
OF the muscles of the jaw. When all
impression Is made on the sensitive
surface OF the skin it ia conveyed by an
excitor nerve to the spinal cord, and is
there reflected back on the muscles by
corresponding motor nerve, the action
being involuntary, like that OF any other
mechanism. Chattering of the teeth, as
we'll as shivering and sneezing, is natures
effort to restore the circulation OF the
blood which has accumulated in the
larger near the heart.
