that preposterous, gerrymandering,
epresentative-cheating, vote-beguiling
and attempt at liie-leasing of the Gen.

bosses, known as the Biennial Elections
amendment.
Following will be found editorially in
full:
"Impelled by sense OF duty and
fairness, and in accord with that broad
and liberal policy that should charact-
erizs the conduct of newspaper pub
lished in the interests OF the people
rather than of partisanship, the Report
er desires to give seasonable notice
that il will oppose the proposed change
in our organic law, commonly known
as the biennial elections amendment to
the constitution, when it comes before
the electorate of the State. as it doubt
less will in the near future.
"It is unnecessary to state that the
Reporter heartily approves OF biennial
elections, and would favor this issue il
the question could be submitted on its
merits, but it most strongly protests
against Legislative authority to make
radical change in the method of repre-
sentation, or rather, the taking away OF
all actual representation from the cities
of the State in the lower branch Of the
legislature.
"Should the proposed amendment be
adopted, and the General Assembly
should decide in favor of ward repre-
sentation, the electors OF Woonsocket
and the other four cities would have no
voice In the choice of representatives.
The several wards and not the city
would be represented in the popular
branch of our legislative body. The
only real municipal representation, for
whom all the electors could vote, would
be the Senator.
stake two wards in this city to illus
trate q probable contingency: The
third, which is overwhelmingly Demo-
cratic, would always have Its man in
the legislature. and the frsta as strongly
Republican, would be perpetually rep
resented by political opponent. These
men would represent ward constituen-
cies of conflicting interests, and to this
the influence Of the city in Legislative
affairs would be lost because nullifed
by an offset, no matter what party
might happen to be in control.
"The proposed amendment, if carried
to its logical conclusion, would not
only weaken or destroy the strength of
the cities in the legislature by similar
ward or partisan divisions, but would
plunge them into factional ward fights,
in which party dignity must be sacri-
feed and party influence on public
questions be rendered powerless.

divided against itself can stand, we

THE ART OF COOKING A HUSBAND
An Amusing Recipe Given by q Baltimore
Cooking School Lecturer.

An Amusing Recipe Given by a Baltimore
Cooking School Lecturer.
One of the lectures before the Baltimore
Cooking school recently gave this recipe
for cooking q husband, which Is not COM
monty found in books on cookery:
A good many husbands are utterly
spoiled by mismanagement. Some women
go about as If their husbands were balloons
and blow them up. Others keep them
constantly In hot water; Others let them
freeze by Indifference and carelessness.
Some keep them in stew by irritating
ways and words. Others roast them.
Some keep them in pickle all their lives.
1t cannot be supposed that any husband
will be tender and good IL managed in this
way, but they are really delicious when
properly treated. In selecting your hus-
band do not go to market for him, as the
best are always brought to your door. 1t
Is far better to have none unless you Will
patiently learn how to govern him.
Soc that the linen In which you wrap
him is properly washed and mended, with
the required number of buttons and strings
tightly sewed on. Tie him in the kettle
by strong silk cord called comfort" as
the one called "duty" Is apt to be weak.
They are apt to fall out of the kettle and
bo burned and crusty on the edges, since,
like crabs and Holsters, you have to cook
them while alive If he sputters and
fuses, do not be anxious; some husbands
do this until they are called done. Add q
little sugar In the form of what confec-
tioners call kisses, but no vinegar or pep
per on any account. A little spice i'm
proves them, but it must be used with
judgment. Do not stick any sharp instru-
ment into him to SEQ IL he is becoming
tender. Stir him gently, watching the
while lest he adhere to the kettle and so
become useless. You cannot fail to know
when he Is done. II this treatment Is
closely followed, you will find him all
that is desirable, but do not be careless
with him and keep him in too cool q
place. Exchange

LOVERS OF SPORT.
Men Who Enjoy Good Health and Prolong
Their Lives.


Their Lives.
Men who love sport will reap there.
from no small advantage, for they will
gain bodily health, better sight, better
hearing and later old age. Above
all, it is an excellent training for war.
In the first place, such men, if required
to make trying march on bad roads
under arms, will not break down; they
will stand the strain because they are
accustomed to go a-hunting wild ami
mails with arms in their hands. Second
ly, they will be able to sleep on hard
bed and keep good watch over the post
intrusted to them.
Ia an advance against an enemy they
will be competent both to attack and
to obey their orders; for it is thus that
wild animals are taken. If they are in
the van they will stick to their posts,
for they will have learned steadfast-
ness; and in rout of the enemy they
will be able, being used to such things,
TO press him over every kind of ground.
If their own side be beaten, they will
be able to save themselves and others
without dishonor in marshy, precipi-
tous, or otherwise dangerous ground
for from experience they will be quite
at home in it.
Men like these, even when the greater
part of their army has been routed,
have rallied and fought against the
victorious enemy when astray in diff
cult ground, and have beaten them by
their courage and their endurance. =.

lan's Magazine.

by some hunter and had been lying
near the road several hours. Her shoul-
der had been badly torn, and there
were other injuries on her body. She
looked appealingly at her discoverer
and then with painful effort stretched
out her paws and dragged herself for
ward to heap of leaves, where lay a
young and almost famished cub The
exertion produced fresh flow of blood,
and with her paws resting tenderly on
her little one, and an imploring look at
her intruder, the mother wolf breathed
her last. Robert Dane was not the
man to refuse the last request of even
a dying wolf, and he read her wishes
as plainly as though she had told him
in the simplest English. He laid down
his torch, went back to his saddle and
from roll of goods took out small
blanket When he had carefully
wrapped the baby wolf he remounted,
and in short time they reached
tho open country, when they sepa-
rated for their respective homes. Rob-
ert fed the wolf warm milk and
put it in a covered basket. After break
fast the next morning he told his two
sons, Albert and Willie, that he had an
orphan which he wished them to adopt,
and when he opened the basket and
told them it was a young wolf they
were greatly astonishcd. They fed it
with milk two or three times day, un-
til it became strong and could walk
about in its little house. They named
It Ponto, and trained it from the first
as though it had been dog, to draw
their little wagon, and bring them OBJ
iects, such as hoop Or ball, or stick
which they would throw away, and to
run with them in their races. They
treated it kindly, but think they were
always on their guard lest 1t show the
cunning of its kind. Mrs. Dane said
that it's food should be cooked, and that
it should have meat only occasionally,
but never until it had eaten heartily of
vegetables and bread.-dumane Jour-

How Humane Frontlorsman Saved q

BaDy Nolf'A Lie
In the early days of our country
there were a great many wolves
throughout the woods of Kentucky,
and tho first white settlers were FREE
quently annoyed by their barking and
thieving, and oftentimes by their saw
ageness. One night four men on horse
back were returning to their homes,
when all at once their horses stopped
and low growl was heard just ahead.
They had followed narrow path
through q dense forest for quite dis
tance and were not far from their
homes, and the thought of encounter
ing pack Of wolves was not at all
pleasant. In those days the thought

steel, some knots of pine and few

was near, and they thought that possi-
bly, there might be number Of them.
Robert Dane soon had a brilliant
torch, and he went about TWEEN

which the noise had come, when he
saw large gray wolf in the agonies Of

CATS ARE NOT SELFISH.
Incidents Which Controvert the Popula
Idea OF Them.

Incidonts Which Controvert the Popular
Idea OF Them.
The domestic cat has never ranked
highly in the scale of intelligence, be-
cause it is said to have affection for
places and not for persons, l am
strongly inclined to think that this is
misapprehension. 1t has been said
that persons who are fond of cats cX-
hibit weakness of intellect. must
plead guilty to the fondncss; my friends
must decide about the weakness. AS
schoolboy l had a pet cat which would
follow me to school Just like q dog, and,
remaining in the strawberries around,
would wait to return with me. My
father at one period always returned
home from his duties at certain hour
In the evening. This cat would wait for
him at certain point in the road, and
as soon as he approached would spring
out, gambol little round him and
then trot yard or two in front of him
for the quarter of mile between the
meeting point and home.
Later in life had cat which ac-
companied my family during three re-
movals. On each occasion he was
carried in the arms through the open
road from the old house to the new
one. Not once did he desert us or re-
turn to the former dwelling. This
same cat surprised me one morning as
was dressing by moving outside my
door, and on opening it he deposited
before me half-grown rabbit quite un-
injured, The servant told me after
ward that the cat was waiting patient
ly outside the door when she opened it,
and proceeded at once upstairs with its
burden, carrying it as mothers do their
kittens. The cats pleasure seemed un-
bounded when took up the frightened
creature and strolfed it, and on my put
ting it down again he made no attempt
to kill it.
My idea Is that the cat knew that
was fond of pets, for was surrounded
In those days by all kinds of animals,
and he wanted to make me present,
and so brought me new pet. My own
experience is that although the cat is
undoubtedly inferior to the dog in intel
ligence, it is far from being the stupid
and selfish creature many suppose it to
be.-Chicago Times.

Johnny Made a Good Guess.

The New Orleans Picayune says that
teacher, in explaining to her pupils
the difference between civilized and un-
civilized races, insisted upon three
things as requisite for civilization-food,
clothing and shelter. The next day she
brought the subject up again, by way
of review.
"What are the three things necessary
to civilized man?" she asked.
Several of the children remembered
food and clothing, but the third req
uisitc seemed to haye escaped their rec
ollection entirely, Finally, after the
question had been repeated two or
three times, one little fellow lifted his
hand, and said:
"a wife"
Whether the teacher sent him to the
head of the class, we are not informed.

The Dog Jtad a Good Memory.

The owner of an Irish water spaniel
was out walking with him, when he
crossed frozen mill dam, and acci-
dentally dropped his snuff box through
a small crcvice in the ice. The dog was
drcadfully distressed at not being able
to get the box, but was obliged to go
home with it's owner, who thought no
more of the matter. Two months aft
erward, when the frost had gone, he
and the dog passed the same place. The
dog paused opposite the spot where the
box had disappeared, seemed to think
intently for a minute, then plunged in,
and returned to the bank with the snuff
box in his mouth.

THE CRAFTY ANT-LlON.
The Curious Way In Which He Prepares
to Mnko Living.


to Make Living.
In the south of Europe there lives a
curious little insect called the ant-lion.
He is about an inch long, and has six
legs, yet he cannot get over the
ground very fast, for he generally
moves backwards.
The ant-lion's habits are most re-
marlsable, but may as well tell you at
the start that he is rather cruel, for
you will be sure to find 1t out before
am through talking about him.
The first thing the ant-lion does
after he has made up his mind to have
a home is to find nice spot of sandy
ground. Then he marks out circle
about thirty inches in diameter, and
begins plowing up the ground with his
body. He gocss round and round, MAX
ing the opening narrower and deeper,
until he has followed out funnel
shaped hole which is very deep. Each
time he goes about he turns quite
round. Why? To rest his fore leg
He has one on each side. So you see
he rests one while he is using the other.
And all the time he keeps throwing
away the sand. How do you suppose
he does this?
He takes it In one of his fore legs,
places It on the top of his head, and
then gives his head jerk. This sends
it considerable distance.
When his house is finished, he goes to
the bottom of it, and buries himself
all but his iaws-in the sand.
The ant-lion Is getting ready to make
his living now. For he lives on the
