John Burns has been telling the news
papers in New York that he finds fewer
workingmen in public Office in the Unit
ed States than abroad. That may be
because he studies them after they are
in public Office "A situation in which we
regretfully admit Americans are too
prone to stop working. But the real
reason why Mr.. Burns misses dis
tinctively working class representation
in Congress, for instance, is that over
here there is no such clear division into
classes as abroad. Practically every
body elected to Congress is working
man, OF was before he became a pro-
feSSiOnal politician. Once in q while
a mere mOneybags gets to the House
Of Representatives, but that occurs but
seldom and he stays there briefly. Nine
out of ten of the men elected to Con-
gress for the first time are men who
must work for their living with pillow or
tools, pen or lawbOOks. Men need not

The Polar CITY.

Numbers of explorers who have
sought the Arctic regions in quest Of
the Pole, have told of Il mysterious city
mirrored against that northern sky
stately buildings in choice architecture,
tall and imposing spires, but such as
differ from anything we know of.
Whether the foundation of this mirage
is reality and only unrecOgnizable be-
cause of transpOsitiOn as to directions,
whether it is a work of some mysteri-
GUS remnant Of our race that once Oc-
cupied the Pole, or whether this is some
fanciful feature of the frost. as the Pc
culiar shrubbery we sometimes see on
the window pane-whatever this is, 1t
must be consigned to the perpleXing
enigmas of the unknown region. Who
knows but that some spot, once the the
alter Of busy and advanced human life,
may have escaped the general cata-
clysmal wreck, and that this city may
be the silent and as yet undiscovered
witness Of pre-pOlar time. standing
alone in the dead desOlation, in the
rigid shroud of now polar death! If
we must be barred from entering this
undiscovered country, we may add to
our equipment by careful noting Of
its mirage, and then give to the bases Of
these phenomena most thorough
study.

A MOnOnOlY.

Shopping agencies of various kinds
are one Of the features of New York
life; and now a scheme is proposed
that, If successful, will do away with
the tour of the shops SO dear to the
hearts Of many women A company
has made an arrangement with the
Broadway cable cars, and it Is said will
try to secure the same right on all the
other lines, for the use of their front
platforms as news and confectionery
stands On each car it will place a uni
formed agent who will sell the things
on hand, and will also take orders from
the passengers for anything they may
want from collar buttons to dress"
The passenger has simply to tell the
boy what he wants and when he will
board the car again, and the commits
sion will be executed. The company
proposes to make arrangements with
a number Of large establishments in the
city to fill all orders that it brings in
ut the lowest possible rates. Under
such conditions. 1t will obviously be
the duty Of the economical woman to
buy by proxy. even though she must
thus relinquish her favorite occupation.

BEGINS A WAR ON PET NAMES.

Public SchOO1teachers in San Fran
cisco to Stamp Them Out.
There is a pretty f1utter among the
public school teachers Of San Fran
else. President Hyde of the Board Of
Education, signing lot of certificates
recently, was struck with the number
Of them bearing the diminutives Mag
gle, Daisy, Essie, Elite and Birdie.
The last seemed to him the worst Of
all. 'Why, just think of it," said the
educator to reporter, 1.-THE teacher who
signed herself Birdie is named Blanche.
Her name isn't Birdie at all. Now,
that isn't right or dignffied. Then
there were Essies, and Daisys, and
Elites galore. don't think it is quite
the thing. l spoke a year ago to the
superintendent about this, but it seems
that the epidemic of pet names is
spreading again. Why, just think;
there Is the principal OF one school here
whom every one calls Bessie. She is
so ashamed Of it now that she signs
herself B. Blank. l won't give her

he repeated slowly. Imagine how that
would sound! Freddie Hyde! Why, it
is preposterous! And yet we see gray
haired women in the department sign
ing themselves Gussie, Jennie, Jessie
and Birdie" Out Of all Of which has
come a rule prohibiting the use among
the teachers Of pet names in official
designation. Investigation disclosed
that one-third Of the Christian names
printed in the school directory are d.
minutives. Armies, Maggies, Netties,
Nellies and Carries abound, many Of
them borne by married women long
past their middle youth, and, officially,
they must all go. Rules affecting per-
sOnal tastes and opinions are always
unpleasant, but the propriety Of the
suggestion that educators should cease
to be Brides" and "Essies" few will
question. The reaction set in here in
the East some time ago, and the use of
diminutives in signatures of profess
sional and business women is much
more often omitted than employed

enjoying to the full all the pleasure
and health-giving motion of riding on
horseback, there is no fear of their
mount rearing. or jibbing, or behaving
like the famous trick horse from the
circus. The motion obtained from the
saddle, as in actual hOrse-riding, is
vertical, and is produced by the rider
rising on the stirrups or fOOt-boards
as if seated upon a horse, and under

One Night in the Cooler.

Our townsman VIM. Vischer made a
business trip into one of the western
counties last week and while there pur-
chased couple Of nags. He employed
boy to bring them to Wellington via the
overland route and expected him to ar
rive here some time in the evening of the
day of rest. Monday morning came and
no tidings of the boy and nags. The
dealer in horse flesh began to mistrust
that the boy had appropriated the prop
erty to his own use and left for parts un-
known, but during the excitement tel
ephone from Norwalk from the marshal
was received stating that he had arrested
a boy on suspicion in charge of two
horses that he had.reasOn to believe were
stolen property, but the boy claimed
they belonged to Vim. Vischerof Yelling
ton. Mr.. Vischer ordered the officer to
release the lad and property instantly
which was done. The boy arrived here
Monday noon. He had sad experience
to relate Of his unceremonious arrest and
what fight he had for his life with the
rodents in the city bastile at Norwalk,
and that his experience in attempting tC
bring horses to Wellington would long
be remembered. For the benefit of thu
Wellington turfmen the records OF thu
two horses from the west is suppressed
