She Likes to Get Even.

eff there is one thing more than an
other that pleases ME, it is to get even
with a grumpy man." said bright
girl in our hearing the other day. 1.-The
other night man and l were out walk
ing and he asked me into a drug store
to have some soda. Before we ordered
he asked the proprietor if he could
change a ten dollar bill and that indi-
vidual snapped out No as though my
escort had insulted him. Leaving me
seated there, my man friend went
across the way, where he secured the
change right readily, and when he
came back we sat down to vanilla soda
and lemon phosphate. When every
drop was gone fifty cents was offered in
payment, and I was just ticl1led to
death when the cross old thing couldn't
change that either. There we were in
two drinks and the grabbed druggist
had to see US depart without his pay
My friend wanted to go back and pay
him later, but told him if he did I
would never speak to him again Oh.

A New Cereal.

A traveller in the Himalayan noun
tain region has discovered that the ma
tives of that country cultivate grain
hitherto unknown in civilized agricul-
tural operations, which has something
the look of wheat but has very much
longer ears, and which has peculiar
inward curve. The shiny, brown grain,
unlike wheat, is, on the other hand,
much smaller than wheat grains should
be for so large an ear. But the inter-
est is that a cereal of this character
should yield such heavy crops in so
high an altitude, where the seasons are
necessarily short and the temperature
low. The natives call the grain kow-
nee.

The ST. LOUIS Globe Democrat, misled
by interested parties lately, made seri-
GUS charges against Governor Hughes
which even the enemies of the governor
were obliged to pronounce utterly I'M
true. The attention of that paper hav-
ing been called to these misstatements
it has not only corrected them but has
instituted an investigation at the de-
partment of the interior as to the
charges alleged to have been preferred.
1t finds that they are utterly ridiculous
and have not and will not receive the
slightest attention from the president
or the secretary of the interior. Gov,
ernor Hughes will serve until he is sue
ceeded by successor duly elected by
the people. The article in the Globe
Democrat appears elsewhere.

AGROWING DEFICIENCY.

The financial affairs of our beloved
Uncle Sam are in much more desper-
ate shape than the most fearful OF us
imagined. We knew his purse was
gradually fattening; in fact we had
been told by the custodian of his funds
that at a stated time, June l of the
present year, he would be $2S, 10000 in
the hole unless something was done for
his temporary relief. The exactness OF
the estimate was alarming; if it had
been made in round numbers, say $780,
100000 or 100000, 900, we might have
supposed that it was rough guess
based on an unfamiliarity with the
country's prospective expenditures and
sources of income, but the very definite
sum OF $2S,O00,000, consisting, so to
speak, of dollars and cents, left no rea-
son to doubt that the estimators knew
what they were talking about and had
figured the liabilities out to the dead
cent. At last last, when the tariff re-
formers began to size up the deficiency
occasioned by further drains upon the
treasury, the prospective deficit was
put at just $3O,00O,000. The rotundity
OF this estimate led many of us to be-
lieve that it was meant for the afore-
mentioned definite and square $28 ,000,-
600 and we congratulated ourselves that
things had grown no worse since the
last report, though they were bad
enough then.
Little more than half the time be-
tween the date of the first estimate and
June l has passed, and Secretary Carl
isle is driven to the senate finance COM
mittee with another estimate and a
prayer for help to preserve the honor
and integrity of the nation. He admits
at the outset that his first guess was
way off by several millions; thatin fact
the real deficit, based on figures which
he offers and about which there can
certainly be no mistake, is nearly three
times the original guess upon which the
tariff reformers have been basing their
calculations for keeping the national
Golfers full. On June l the deficiency
cannot be less than $78, 900, 900.
1t is annoying to think it will exist,
but it is much more decorating to realize

ADMINISTERED MEDICINE.
The tariff reformers are not agreed on
the tobacco schedule OF the Wilson bill
so it happens that the most positive OBJ
lection to the proposed reduction comes
from Demscratic congressman of Con-
necticut, who insist that the present
Mckinley duty be allowed to stand
Their arguments are two-fold. One is
that the infant industry OF tobacco rails
ing in Connecticut is in need of protec-
ton; the other is that the proposed re-
duction will cut off Sc. ZOO, 900 of badly
needed revenues. Both arguments are
easily answered by their brother re-
formers, who tell them that protection
is not to be considered in carrying out
the pledges upon which the Connecti-
cut congressman themselves were
elected. The last argument is trivial
what is loss of $5,00O.O0O in revenues
compared with a loss of $4,000 900,
which the Wilson bill was framed to
lose?
The tobacco congressman are malic-
iously advised by their Republican
brethren to either take their medicine
heroically or else pool the issues of their
constituents with those of constituents in
other parts of the country whose inter
esrs are also threatened by the Wilson
bill.

rIi..ON LUIS.
A Big Snake in Connecticut Lays Half a
BuShel of Eggs,

Perhaps about as curious thing as
DR.. Knox ever had in the line of GU
riosities, says the Danbury Conn.,
News, is his African python snake,
Eve, as she lies coiled about a half
bushel of eggs laid a few days ago. 1t
is an event that ophiologists will be
interested in.
The discovery was made one morn
ing. For some time Adam and Eve,
two big African pythons, have been
domiciled in the big snake cage in
the doctors back office. The bottom
of the cage is covered by deep layer
of dirt and gravel. Both these snakes
have been in DIR. Knox's possession a
year, and have sometimes been on ex-
hibition.
One evening DR.. Knox passed the
cage several times. going to and from
MS front office. Every time he passed
the cage the python snake Kissed at
him. He paid no attention to the
otherwise at the incident Later in
the evening he locked up his office and
drove over to Brewster, where his fam
lily is now stopping. When the doctor
opened his office the next day the
first thing he remembers doing was to
examine his snake collection. He
looked in the cage and saw what he
supposed were several new potatoes
lying under the python snake, Eve.
He opened the cage to remove them.
Going close to the snake, it Kissed at
him. This made him pause. Then he
took second look and was surprised
to see about one hundred snake eggs
under her.
Two of the eggs are on the writer
desk as samples. They vary in size
and are rather heavy. They are soft to
the touch, oval in form, and ashy gray
color The smaller of the eggs is the
size and shape of ducks. The larger
one is no thicker, but about six inches
long. They were slightly speckled.
1t is said that the shell will become
hard.
Perhaps snake laying eggs in cap
tivity is not unusual, but the only case
called to the writer's attention was
when a python did similar thing at
the Paris geological garden in 1914.
This serpent laid three dozen eggs.
She brooded on her eggs and Matched
young ones. She deposited her eggs
on the 5th of May, and the first young
one made its appearance on the I'd of
July.
Whether DR.. Knox's collection of
pythons will be augmented or not by
the eggs is matter to be seen.

THOU ART THE MAN."
A Bit of Romance from One of MI. Walter
Beasant's Rocks.

Beasant's Rocks.
Walter Besant gives US pretty bit of
romance in his own peculiar fashion
in 1.-The Voice of the Flying Day" The
physician was young, he says; so was
the patient. The case was strange;
none of the symptoms correspondent
with any known disease. The physi-
clan came every day, and the more he
came the worse grew the patient.
Presently the physician began to sus-
pect that the trouble was mental-of
the heart, perhaps-and at last he
charged the patient with the thing.
81 believe" he said, that there is
nothing in the world the matter with
you, but that you are in love-" and,
with bushes and tears, the patient
pleaded guilty to the charge. ''And
does the man know?"
"Alas," she replied, che does not
even suspect" '"Can you tell him?''
Never" And then the physician
pleaded with the patient that she
should tell him who it was, that a
physician is a father confessor, and
that it might relieve her to confess all
to him.
''Since you have asked me" she said,
with confusion, come tomorrow,
then perhaps if L can, 1 will tell you. y
And when the morrow came the pa
tient put into his hand little slip of
paper, on which was written only II.
Sam, xii. 7. And for fear that you
will not know where your Bible is to
look it up, will tell you the words of
the text are: "And Nathan said to Da-
vid, Thou art the man."

Owing to the fact that the act admitting
Arizona passed the house of representatives by
a very large majority, and the further fact tha'
the senate is undoubtedly in favor of our early
admission, we concluded that it was unneces-

This conclusion has been submitted to various
of the committees of the convention and they
have all concurred therein.

Palmer, Mitchell and Wyman were then
asked to go out to the new City Hall and
tell the Grand Jury what they knew Of

Another depositor called at the Peoples
Home Savings Bank yesterday ignorant
of the fact that it was in the hands of a
receiver or that any trouble had existed
there. This depositor had $50 10 his credit
in the bank and wanted 10 add S5 to his
account.
Answer was filed in the Superior Court
yesterday by c. o. Swanberg. Henry w.
Westphal ana the Merchants Ice and Cold
Storage Company to the suit of John f.
Shehan for the recovery of the Swanberg
securities.
All the allegations contained in the COM
plant are generally and specifically denied
in tn g answer, and the following history
given of the case That in March, 1893,
both the Peoples and the Pacific banks
were known TO be in difficulties and IN
pressing need of ready money. The Pa
cifc Bank acted as treasurer, Swauberg
being director Of the Peoples Bank
1t is claimed that an agreement was
made between the banks. Swanberg and
Westphal, whereby it was arranged that
Westpbal should make a $4,000 note in
favor of the Peoples Bank. The note
was to be Endorsed b. Swanberg and Sc
scured by the transfer of 1000 shares Of
the Merchants Ice Company and 400 shares
oF ha
The Peoples Bank Was then to draw a
check for $4,000. which was to be hon.
ored by the Pacific Ba9k, md letter of
credit for $4,000 given to Swanberg on
the Union Bank of London. Swanberg
was then to proceed to Sweden and realize
all the money he could on his letter of
credit, the money to be used for the bsne-
fit of both the Peoples and the Pacific
banks.
Swanbsrg claims that the agreement
provided that il he did uot succeed in OBJ
tanning any money on bis letter of credit
then the contract was 10 be declared void
and his securities returned to him. That
is what Swanberg claims happened. He
proceeded to Sweden, entered into neg0-
tiations for the realization of money upon
his letter of credit and was on tha eve Of
completion of those negotiations when news
I arrived of the Pacific Bank disaster, and
the whole scheme fell through.
Since that date Swanberg and Westphal
claim that they repeatedly applied to the
bank to have the note Cancelled and the
securities returned, but no notice was
taken of their application until the very
evening when the directors met and re-
solved to return to Swanberg his securi-
ties-a proceeding which caused much
trouble and gave rise 10 the present suit.

character of both Mr.. Graves and Mr..
Montgomery.
The first witness called by the Jury was
William 4. Palmer, the secretary of the
Peoples Home Savings Bank. whose place
Secretary Graves took through the influ-
ence of ''Dick" Mcdonald.
Palmer was not in the bank when Swan
Dergs securities were returned, but he was
clerk there when the transaction and
agreement about the European letters of
credit took place. He testified to his
knowledge OF this tran sactiOn, history of
which has been already published and is
we'll known. Palmer would not admit his
being questioned on any other subject than
those Of the Swanberg securities. 1t was
otherwise learned that his examination
took little wider range, and that he was
examined in a more general way on the
management of the bank under "Dlck"
Mcdonald and the previous board of
directors.
Manager FarnunI, the manager OF the
Pacific Bank under the Bank Commits
sioners, responded to the subpoena issued
10 him, and was closeted with the jury for
some little time. Farnum was previously

Bank, and was familiar with the history
