GIVING BABY A CHANCE.

A Gold Dollar. Bible and a Step
ladder for Luck.
Think of baby twenty-four hours
old climbing step ladder!
Monthly nurses all agree that if a
baby goes downstairs before it goes
upstairs its path in life will be down.
ward and il-luck viii attend it. Ac-
cordingly, precautions should be taken
against such an omen. In this in
stance, the child having been born on
the top floor of the house, it could not
be carried upstairs, and, therefore, its
mother had suggested the ingenious
plan of having Stepladder brought
into the room, so that the nurse could
mount it with baby in her arms.
But that was not all. A small tesla
ment was attached by a string to the
child's arm and in its chubby little
fist was placed a gold dollar. Thus,
reasonable certainty was secured that
the boy would grow up both rich and
pious. At the same time it seemed
very odd to see such superstitious OBJ
servances practiced in the city of
Washington in the year 1892. Some
people say that it is very bad luck in
deed for a baby to see itself in a mir
ror before it is a year old, though why
this should be so considered it would
be difficult to tell-WaShington Star.

Why Not Buy Dog Meats

Washington. Jan. "A. - Indian Com
missioner Morgan has gone to Chicago
to buy in open market 100000 pounds
of bacon for issue to Western tribes of
Indians. This bacon was contracted for
last May at $7.04 per hundred pounds,
but the contractor has failed to fulfill
his agreement, and the government will
therefore make the purchase, charging
to the contractor the difference between
the price agreed upon and the present
market price. Since last May bacon
has advanced in price about so per cent.

Costly Railroad in South America.
The Oroya railroad over the Andes,
connecting Peru with the basin of the
Amazon, will be opened to traffic
soon, according to the announcement
This road, although but 200 miles long,
has cost about $50, 100000, and it was
begun twenty-six years ago by Henry
Meiggs, the story of whose extraordi-
nary career reads like romance. It's
construction was stopped by the ruin
of Peru in the Chilean war, and it
has finally been completed through the
efforts of Michael Grace, brother of
ex-Mayor Grace of New York, who
succeeded in "financeering" the enter
prise in the English money market.
The opening of this railroad is con-
sidered an event of very great cora

next century will witness an extraor-
binary development of South America.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The president on Tuesday sent his an
nual message to congress. 1t Is very
lengthy. containing about 1900 words
and making Recommendations generally
a. communicated to him by the chiefs Of
the various departments Of the govern
ment.
After dilating upon our foreign pol
icy and stating that we are at peace with
all nations. and making recommends
tons in regard to our navy, coast defense,
Nicaragua canal, civil service and internal
improvements, be deals ct some length
with the financial and tariff questions;
some very interesting statistics are given
in his recommendations on the question
Of finances which might prove profitable
to enumerate here. lie says the receipts
Of the government during the last year
have exceeded by over two millions the
expenditures, Collected from customs
s206, 355, 0l6.75 and from internal reve-
nues 1851 ,027 ,623.93. Our dutiable i'm
ports amounted to 1921 ,256.51l, an In.
crease Of $52,453.907 over the preceding
year. Total revenue on distilled spirits
was $54, 40. 260.55, on manufactured to.
bacco $sl ,sss, lil.o4.
We exported merchandise during the
year amounting to $s47 500, 1914, q de-
crease of sls2. 6lS, 249.54 from the preced-
ing year. Our per capita circulation on
November was $3.50.
1t is estimated that on the LIST day Of
July the metallic stock Of money in the
United States consisting OF coin and bull
lion amounted to 81 ,2l3,559, 1869 Of which
$597 ,s95 ,6s5 was gold and s6l5, SCI .4s4
was silver. Amount Of gold exported
being sos, $50. s44, exceeding the previous
year by 5s,4S5,517.
He recommends an international agree
ment on the subject Of silver coinage.
His tariff policy is the same as marked
out In his letter Of acceptance, which
shows he will stand by bis party's plat
form on subject 80 vital to the country's
interest.
The message as whole is very able
document and will 60 far to convince the
country of the policy which may be ex-
pected OF congress on financial and tariff
legislation and allay the fears Of any who
expect anything but sound financial and
tariff legislation. While it does not suit
his political enemies it meets the expecta-
tons OF his friends and marks him as one
oil the most heroic statesmen OF bis day.

UNITED STATES SENATOR.

John L. Wilson. our present represen-
tative in congress has reluctantly become
a candidate for the United States senate,
and as a result has come to the conclu.
sion that there should be an extra session
Of the legislature. He has also been
forced to admit. after endeavoring in
every honorable way to keep from 1t, that
be Is the best man in all the state for the
position Of United States senator. This
il very praiseworthy in Mr.. Wilson. 1t
Is also unusual for Republican states
man, for as rule he blurts out without
moments notice at any time, and fire.
Quently under the most distressing cir
cumstan ,es for himself, that he, the par
ticular person speaking, il the best and
most fitting Of all men for this truly dig
nified position. That Mr.. Wilson has
been compelled almost at the muzzle OF
shotguns in the hands Of his admising
friends TO admit that he Is by odds the
best man for senator in the. state, is very
commendable, indeed. Why should not
Mr.. Wilson tell the truth. even at the ex-
pense ut what Judge Turner would term
'simmodeat," irightfully? But Mr.. Will
son mistakes our temper in assigning the
excuses necessary for an extra session.
All Of us who are Mr.. Wilson's friends,
are ready to throw up our hats when he
says the legislature should get together to
pass stay law for rs. This Is good, 1t is
fortunate, and at this juncture we feel
that he would make an excellent United
States senator; he would be real down
right pride to the state, particularly II iss
could get his Legislature to make the stay
law permanent. To get such man in
the senate would be sufficient for fifty
extra sessions. But his next utterance is
disappointing; oh, how bitterly dissp-
pointing. He says the revenue law is no
good and under 1t the taxes cannot be
collected. Thunderation! Does the man
suppose that after he has had his legisla-
ture do us the benefcent service Of letting
Us out OF paying our grocery bills, that we
want 10 pay taxes? Not much. We want
to run the government on county war
rants and have the payment OF them
stayed too. So it is that we say that he
mistakes our temper; but 1t is not too
late yet, and AZ soon as be finds out how
we feel we are sure he Is statesman
enough to "take tumble," as ii were,
and get his sails square for the breezes.
We feel sure that there viii be an extra
session and that John L., having amended
bis statements as hereinbefore indicated
and made his proper promises TO Hunt
and McGraw. win permit himself to be-
come our pride as 3 model United States
senator.
