believed that pure economy will be prac-

ure, as the assembling of guns here is now
dependent wholly upon transportation
that, in the event of war, might be inter-

needs plants for gun-making of the heavier

ates 100000 for the purpose of defraying
the cost of selecting and securing proper
site. The Senate Committee has reported
favorably upon the measure, and the only
opposition it is likely to receive will come
from the limited class of obstructionists
who believe that there is no need to pre-
pare for any assault from abroad; that in
case ships and ordnance are needed, the
country can produce them to meet the ne
cessity. But such views are not maintained
by those who have given Statecraft any
considerable consideration. A peaceful
and peace-loving nation should neverthe-
less be prepared at moments notice to
become aggressive, if need be. 1t is not
necessary that we should have a large
standing army, nor naval force of i'm
mense proportions, but we do need to pos
sess means for responding with promptness
and effectiveness to assault upon our shores
or our honor at home or abroad The
greatest end of craftsmanship is to prevent
war. to conserve peace, and render large
armies unnecessary, but this does not mean
the neglect to outfit ourselves in a way
that will enable us with speed to equip
ships of war and ann great forces when oc-
casion demands.

the antics of hackman who evidently
aspired to be q very bad man. He was
staggering around and making himself
generally obnoxious, when an old, decrepit
and white haired man came hobbling
along. The bold Jehu thought he would
be smart. and. walking up to the old man,
struck him in the face. The old man, OF
course, was unable to defend himself
against such a big, burly fellow, and was
about to move off, when suddenly me-
dunn. built, fine looking gentleman (whom
| have since learned is prominent in local
military circles) came over from across the
street., and, stepping up to the would-be
bad man. inquired why he had struck the
old man. AS we all expected, the latter
replied iDsultingly and suggested that
maybe the new conner would like punch,
too. To his surprise, though, the gentle
man was quite willing and, before you
could say Jack Robinson that bold bad
man was undergoing a fearful drubbing.
The military gentleman literally wiped up
the sidewalk with him, and in conclusion
picked him up by the legs and eDdeavored
to knock out an awning post with his
head Oh, just squealed with delight as

The Senate has passed the bill increas-
ing the appropriation to 100000 for the
Government building in Sacramento, and
it is now probable that the bill will be-
come a law in few days The present
generation may therefore revive the hope
that it will see the walls of the proposed
structure arise before its limit of life
shall expire. However, Congress has
dealt fairly with US, and much of the long
delay has been due to our own desire tC
secure a structure of greater proportions
and architectural importance than at first

What is a Model wife ?

A model wife is the woman in whom the
heart of her husband doth safely trust.
She is the woman who looks after his
household, and makes her hospitality a
delight to him, and not burden.
Who hath learned that soft answer
will turn away wrath.
Who keeps her sweetest smiles and most
loving words for her husband.
Who is his confident in sorrow or in Joy,
and who does not feel the necessity of ex-
plaiEing her private affairs to the neigh
borhood.
Who respects the rights of husband and
children, and in return has due regard paid
b, her.
Who knows that the strongest argu-
ment is her wonanliness, and so she cultl-
yates it.
Who is sympathetic in JOY, or in grief,
and who finds work Cor her hands to do.
Who makes friends and keeps them.
Who is not made bitter by trouble, but
who strengthens and sweetens under it.
Who tries to conceal the faults Of her
husband rather than blazen them forth to
an uninterested puolic.
The woman whose life-book has love
written on every page.
Who makes home for mana home
in a house and in heart. A home that
he is sure of home that is full of love

rubies.

New YORK Aldermen have again de-
feated the effort by market men to have
vegetables sold by weight in that city. 1t
was a sensible movement, and the defeat Of
the measure testified to the immense dis
tance the average Alderman of the metrop-
oils of America keeps in the rear of the
procession. That official seldom neglects
the opportunity to block the wheels of adj
vancement. But we confess to not under
standing why the market men and pro-
ducers, since they are agreed, cannot set
up the weight system without appealing TO
the Aldermen. If they adopt that method
of dealing with each other and their Gus
toners, the Board of Aldermen can no
more prevent the operation of the system
than they can stay the tides OF the ocean.
The weight method of selling vegetables
and fruit is the only one that is abso-
lutely fair to the consumer and that en-
ableS the seller to measure his profits and
his losses to fraction. The measure sys-
TEN, on the other hand, in great many
cases results in loss to both consumer and
retailer. 1t is uncertain, very often guess
work, and at all times involves loss of
time. BY the weight system, the dealer
knows just what he is making and the
purchaser just what amount of food he is
buying.

traitors of the outrage ever escaped being
stung, but the victim having been pushed
into the shaft, the next thing in order was
to retreat on the double-quick to the shell
ter afforded by thick clump of live oak
bushes about fifty yards distant, where the
crowd would divert itself in hilarious
laughter at the expense Of those who had
got stung, the victims screams and curses,
etc.
Accordingly we determined that, as
something had to be done, we might just
as we'll drop old Seeds into the shaft as to
waste time in studying up some other
scheme, which might not prove nearly so
effectual and as several of the larger boys
were physically Seeds superior, we were
thoroughly able to carry out the :-nder-
taking.
Therefore, at the noon recess next day,
it having been given out that Old Seeds
was to be the next victim, we seized him
by all-fours and every other available hold,
carried him to the shaft, coolly dropped
him into it, and skipped out for the live
oak bushes to await results, which were
not long in developing, you may be sure
There was not the usual hilarity among
US, however, in fact there was breathless,
painful silence. Seeds gave no signal of
distress, except, perhaps, a lively scram-
bling sound in endeavoring to get out; but
when he did emerge, we knew by his ac-
tons that something singular, if not dra-
matte, was going to occur. Seeds did not
get mad; furthermore, he did not pay any
attention 10 the angry insects which
swarmed about him, but simply walked
away from the shaft and waited till the
yellow.jackets got tired tormenting him,
when he put his hands behind him under
meath his well-worn coat-tails, pretty well
up, we thought afterwards, and strolled
leisureiy around to where We boys had
ensconced ourselves, wishing by this time
that the affair was over, most heartily.
During all this exciting period Old
Seeds had never spoken 4 word, but now,
having come within sight and hearing dis
lance Of Us, be began, as slowly and de-
liberately as If he we're about TO engage in
