THE republicans of the house census committee have finally decided upon the apportionment bill which they wish to become law. It provides for total membership of 356, and is a better bill than the one originally in- troduced by Representative Dunnell, because no State will under it lose any representatives but it is still dis tinctively partisan measure and as such will be opposed by the democrats in congreSs.-Ex.

ON the great leading issues now before the country the Farmers Ali ance and the Democratic party occupy substantially the same ground. This shows that there is no call for third party. With third party, the farm CTS and all the various labor organiza- tions will simply jeopardize their own interests. If the Democratic party should obtain full control of the af- fairs of the national government, and should then fail to meet the require ments of the farmers and their allies in that case there would be neces- sity for third party .-Ex.

AmoIie Rives and Her Husband.

I must mention O curious resemblance
between the wooing OF Chanler and the
strange relationship which existed between
Barbara and Jock. While at Castle Hill,
and while Mr.. Chanler was in New York
awaiting the decision of his fate, Miss
Riyes did read in "a newspaper paragraph
about an Archie Chandler being hurt in a
runaway accident in the streets of New
York She did ride several miles across
country, in pelting rsinstornn, through
mud and over bitches and fences, to get to
telegraph Office and place herself in COM
municatfon with Mr.. Chanler. This Incl
dent was afterward worked in the story Of
Barbara and Jock. It turned out to be a
Chandler and not Chanler who was hurt,
and the wild ride was in vain; no, not in
vain, for it had its influence in opening the
eyes of Miss Rives to the hold her affection
for Mr. Chanler had upon her heart, and it
strengthened Chanler's courage, which had
begun to droop, and led him 70 think he
might after all win the prize which be was
seeking. A month or two later he re-
turned to Castle Hill, and before he left
this time Miss Riyes had put her hand In
his and let il rest there.

Manchester, England. Mr.. j. L. Bott is

machinery necessary to furnish the com
pressed air to drive the projectile, Mr.. Bott
supplies shell containing highly COM
pressed air In its rear portion. The gun
used is breechloading smoothbore.
When the shell is entered. the action Of
firing forces pin inward at the base of the
shell, thus tearing a hole In the retaining
valve and rberating the compressed air
This drives the shell from the gun with
