A CHANGE of sentiment is said to
be going on in the East favorable
to bimetallism, and the monometal-
lists of Wall street view the situa-
ton with CONSERVATION and dismay.
After debating the financial legis-
lation Of the country since the days
when Republicanism first gained
the ascendency it is a hard struggle
for the plutocrats Of New England
to realize that old proverb Of Pres
ident LINCOLN that you can't fool
all the people all the time" is only
too true, and that the days Of the
trusts and combines to depress the
wages of labor and increase the cost
of the necessaries Of life, gambling
in the product of honest toll, pen
sion thievery, and Government job
berry will have to 80 along with the
defeated party which gave them
birth.

AN OBJECT LESSON.

Here is an object lesson for the
farmers of Benton County. The
production Of wool in the United
States in 1891 fell short Of meeting
the nations total consumption by a
little over 2O0,O0O,OOO pounds, and
during the past three years it has
been utterly impossible to supply
the domestic demand for mutton;
in fact most of the time not sin
gle market in the country shows re-
ceipts of wool and mutton to sup
ply the demand. 1t strikes us that
a little enterprise upon the part Of
the people of this county might de-
velop highly profitable business

parently despised industry Of rails

THERE is every reason to believe
that the present Congress will en-
act an income tax law. The South
has for years been paying a large
share Of the tax for pension pay
ments, and it is reasonable to be-
ieve that we will be relieved of a
portion Of it, at least, as we receive
none of the benefit, the money be-
ing all distributed throughout the
East, North and Northwest. There
is an almost unanimous sentiment
among the Southern men in the
House and Senate in favor Of a tax
on incomes, and leading members
from all parts of the country agree
that an income tax would transfer
a portion of the burden of taxation
to the North, which is now being
unjustly wrung from the South.

Millions of Quail.

There surely will be an exodus from
some sections of the world take up Its
line of march for the Mohawk Valley in
Yuma County. The children of Israel
were at one time fed by the number of
quails that focked around them and
mama from heaven. If they were in
Mohawk Valley to-day they could do
equally as well. The quail literally
cover the ground, and can be caught by
hand. Those who are proftiug by catch
ing them and shipping to San Francisco
catch more than they can bag. Hun.
dreds of dozens are shipped daily by ex-
press. They have used up all the lum-
Der for boxes and have about used all
the barley sacks in the county shipping
them in that mlDner. The children
make from seven to twenty dollars a day
catching them, and their numbers do
not seem to diminish. Similar reports
of their numbers come from Aqua Cali
ente and Gila Bend, and their slaughter
goes daily along. You fuu-loving
sportsmen, the world over, if you want
to have genuine good time shooting
quail now is the time to get pleasure.
There are millions upon millions of
them, and no let up to their numbers.
When q band is routed the sound OF
their wings is simply deafening, re.
sembling distant thunder roll. There
is no telling what a Yuma climate will

The Lady and the Big Gray Cat.

"Kindly assist me with this basket

The speaker, large, handsome wo

decorated with vari-coloreI ribbons.
The contents were covered by quilt
beautifully decorated with needIe-worG.
1t weighed in all nearly forty pounds.
Mr.. Cummings was amazed that a woman
of her evident wealth should be carrying
such heavy burden.
Suddenly he felt a strange jolting in
the basket. The quilt was heaving up
aud down. Mr.. Cummings thought OF
babies, dogs, snakes, chickens aud mud
turtles all in less than a second. It was
with feeling of relief that he deposited
the mysterious bundle on seat by the
side OF the woman.
Come, Dick" she said, pleasantly.
instantly the quit went up WITH
volcanic burst, and out popped, like a
whss cred Jack-in- the-box, a huge gray
cat. It was the largest that Mr.. Cum,
mings had ever seen. Dick stood nearly
eighteen inches high, and was long and
broad in proportion. HIS weight ex-
ceeded thirty-fve pounds. After show.

finger and the hugh cat jumped bacs
into the basket.

lady, never Travelled without him close
at her side. D.ck was given drink of

A Great Philaqthropist,

The new Peabody Institute, recentl
dedicated at Danvers, Mass, was neces.
sarily built of wood, but as long as ii
stands 1t will be very worthy memorial
of the gift of the philanthropist to his
native town. George Peabody was born
In panvers, February 18th, 1898, and
died in London, November 4th, 1899.
In 1856 he donated $40, 900 for an insti-
tute in his native town, and in 1866 he
endowed it with $4,000, but unfor.
tunately the original structure ws
burned in 1890.
The present structure cost but S2S, ,O0J
The architecture is colonial, and the
dimensions are ffty-two feet in width
and niuety-two feet long. 1t stands in
a beautiful pa-k, which is bordered by
Sylvan and Pond streets and Peabody
avenue, and is finished in fine woods,
with the usual rooms of such building,
as library, main hall, etc. The latter has
a seating capacity of 100, with large
stage fitted up with scenery for plaiU
heatricals.
The library has shelves for 0,O0d
rolumes, and the reading room adjacent
is very cozy and pleasant place. In
one room hangs the portrait, six by I inc
feet, of Mr.. Peabody, which was savei
with great difficulty when the original
building was burned. Its cost was
$500. The structure is designed for
library, museum, social hall and general
gathering place for the Dauversites.-

Novel Climbing Device

A French inventor has devised a novel
and practical arrangement for use by
fremen and others TO facilitate rope
climbing, and, at the same time, to per
NIT the climber to have free use of his
hands. The apparatus consists of two
boards joined by hinge, hole passing
through both the hinge and the boards,
and the extremities of the latter are pro-
vided with straps, which caa be fastened
to the feet of the man using the appara.
tus. The method of climbing involved
in this arrangement is simple. When
the feet attached to the boards are lifted
the rope is free, but the moment the feet
are pressed down on the two boards the
rope is firmly grIpped. 1t is only neces-
sary, therefore, to lift the body with
both hands as far as possible, and it can
then be held by the hinged clamps until
another lift is made. By the use of a
belt to hold the body close to the rope
the hands may be left free for work. -

Amusing Experience With Squirrel

"In Memphis, said Charles E Elmire,
of Union City, Tenn, ''there Is a little
park called Court Square, situated in
the center of the city. The parkkeeper
told me that there were over 500 SOUR
rels that mads their nests in the big

amusement to the children and to the
weary foot travellers who stop in the

about six inches long and to the Other
end fastened 'goober' aud threw it on

that tackled it. He picked up the
'goober' between his paws and started
to open the shell when he discovered
that there was a string tied to it. Their

should have witnessed the actions of that
squirrel after he saw that the bag still
pursued him. Up tree he went; down
one side and up another, the way he
went. After he had chased himself
about ten minutes, he stopped and
'sorter' turned his head around slow like
to see if the bag was still there. 1t was.
Then he started again, and of all the
running ever saw that squirrel did it.
He moved about among the branches
and limbs like a streak of lightning.
Finally, out of breath, he stopped again
aud the expression he wore on his face
seemed to indicate that he was saying 20

Tracing the Name "Chos,." "

The word "chess" is said to be cor.
tuption OF the Arabic word "sheikh,"
|neaning chief or king. The game came
Sestward by way of Persia, where the
word sheikh became shah. 1t was the
tare of the king. The term "check"
j merely to give notice that tho king Is
,ttacked, and ''checkmate" means 'the
King is dead;" the verb mata being from
he same root as toe Spanish matador, the
layer of the bull. The word check,
whether verb or noun, may be traced
through several curious ramifcations
back to the Persian and Arabic. Even
the word ox,hequer is curiously tangled
,p in this verbal network.
