with Mrs. Belle Freeland in raising and

sworn to by Mrs. Freeland in Parkers-

is very well known here and the news
of his arrest caused a shout of conster-
nation. He came here on Thursday
evening of this week and on Friday
morning, by his request, the merchants
and citizens of the town assembled at
the drug store to hear a statement from
the gentlemen. Quite a crowd collected
at the appointed hour. Mr. Hawks
opening his remarks stated that he was
we'll known in Terra Alta and expected
to make his home here sometime in
the future and for this reason he desired
to state frankly what his acquaintance
was with Mrs Freeland. He said that
he, in company with another gentleman,
had gone to the house of Mrs. Free
land on one occasion and had had a
time" in the usual way; that he, in
company with the same man, had gone
once afterwards. This opened and
closed his acquaintance with the wo-
man. Hawks was very frank in his
statements and made no effort to hide
the purpose for which he had visited
Mrs. Freeland. The gentleman has
many friends and is quite popular here.

The Patent Office was established In
1892 and the number of patents grant
nd that year were nine. In the year
1909 or lust one hundred years later,
Abe number of patents granted was 25,-
0o0 In the year 1892 the public mind
was of an extreme practical turn ap-
parently. for the patents of that year
included brlck-making, wire weaving,
eteel-teinper1ng, thread-spinnins and
wood-sawing. At present the work OF
the Patent Office covers each year al
most every line of invention.
New England still holds the cham
pion belt In the matter of inventions,
the little State Of Rhode Island having
one patent for every 1,l91 people, and
Massachusetts, doing still better with
one patent for every 1852, while Con-
nectlcut gets one for every 1,0S0 people.
The inventive mind seems to lean
westward rather than southward. Even
such States as Illinois, Ohio and Indi-
ana get large number Of patents. In
Illinois the number OF patents is at
the rate OF one for each 1,944 inhabi-
tants, while in Georgia, which holds
about the same relation 10 the South
as Illinois does to the West, the num-
Der of patents runs at the rate of one

THE LAWS OF CONGRESS.
How a Bn Has to Run the Gauntlet of
Both Houses.

Considering the number OF laws en-
acted by each successive Congress-, IL
might be imagined that the process
was simple, whereas II Ia long and
rather complex. To introduce a bill Is
the work of few minutes, and then It
is referred to committee, From the
committee it Is reported to the House.
let us say, and is debated II It Is
passed, II goes to the Senate. and
through a similar ordeal.
After bill has run the gauntlet OF
the two Houses 1t Is publicly signed by
each presiding officer and taken to the
President for his approval. He has ten
to examine the bill and make up his
mind. II nothing is heard from him
by the end of that period the bill be-
comes a law without his signature
Should he disapprove or veto bill.
he sends II back to that branch of Con-
gress In which Il originated, stating
his reasons in opposition, and then
the measure is again referred TO a
committee and undergoes much the
same experience as 1t did at first, with
this important difference. that II must
be voted for by at least two-thirds of
the members OF each House in order
to overcome the objections Of the chief
magistrate.
Only very strong public sentiment
will develop sufficient vetoes to over
ride the Presidents veto, and this right
gives him almost equal power in leg
islation with Congress. Should the
President decline to sign bill, and
Congress adjourn before the expira-
ton of the ten-day period, 1t receives
what is popularity known as pocket
veto"
After bill has been approved by the
President, the Department OF State
causes it to be printed and promulgat-
ed. Not the slightest variation is made
in printing the new law; even mistakes
in spelling and punctuation are close
ly copied
Many people would think this fool
ish practice, but it is wise practice,
after all, for were the Secretary OF
State given permission to revise the
language of a bill, he might make
changes in wording and punctuation
that would completely overturn the in
tentions OF Congress when the bill was
enacted. Millions of dollars are in
volved, and grave Constitutional ques-
tions arise on the insertion or om!s-
sion of even a comma.

The Largest l'arrcl IN the World.
The one at Heidelburg will not hold
LIQUID, neither will the one in Arizona.
In this they are the same, but are diff
ferent in many other ways. Arizona's
barrel is the work of nature, and 1t Is
on a high mountain peak, about five
miles from Aguas Calientas, which Is
in the Catalina Mountains, about six
teen miles from a railroad.
The barrel is one of those peculiar
rock formations and Is about 200 feet
high, and the top OF 1t is at least 1000
feet above the valley. II can be seen
for miles before the traveller gets to IT,,
and its appearance is most deceiving,
1t requires no effort of the imagination
to see the large utensil OF Bacchus
perohed on it's peak with glass under
a faucet as If ready to be filled. A
large fissure in certain spot forms a
bung-hole. 1t does not look like a
barrel unless seen from the plain; on
all other sides it is simply rugged
rock 1t is a soft granite formation OF
volcanic origin and is crumbling to
pieces all the time 1t Is so soft that
half a dozen men with picks could
knock it to pieces in few days.-San
Francisco Call.
