THE PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE.

Ex-President Harrison writes on
"The Presidential Office" series, in
February Ladies' Home Journal.
In discussing the constitutional
provisions tor the selection of a
Chief Magistrate, he touches upon
the discussion in the convention
relative to a plural executive for the
nation, and upon the point presents
his own views; "Experience has
so fully justified the conclusion
reached by the Constitutional con-
vention in this matter "a single eX-
ecutive head) that no change has
ever been suggested. The lncum-
bent has never satisfied every one,
but the Disseminated have never
sought relief by giving him adouble.
Executive direction should always
be single. When anything is wrong
Iy done we must be able to put a
hand on the man who did it. The
sense Of responsibility begets care,
fulness, and that sense is never so
perfect as when, after full consulta-
ton, the officer must so alone into
the chamber of decision. In all of
the recent reform city charters this
principle is made PROMINENTLY
giving the mayor the power to APP
point the city boards and officers,
and so making him responsible for
the efficiency of the city govern
ment. Two presidents or three with
equal powers would as surely bring
disaster as three generals of equal
rank over a single army. | do not
doubt that this sense of single and
personal responsibility to the peo-
pie has strongly held our presidents
to a good conscience and to a high
discharge of their great duties"

hicting a very painful but not seri-
Gus wound, says the Moscow Mir
ror. Mckee was arrested Monday
and Tuesday gave a $1,000 bond for
his appearance at the preliminary
examination which has been set for
next Monday.
1t appears that King had rented
a piece of land from Mckee and
that the trouble grew out of settle
ment. King swed Mckee a balance
for cutting his grain and claimed
damage from Mckee for loss Of part
Of his grain caused by the latter 5
hogs. One Saturday morning King
went to McKee's place after some
hogs that had strayed away, and
was driving them toward home
when Mckee followed them on
horseback and a quarrel ensued.
Mckee forbid King taking the hogs
away until the balance due him for
cutting the grain was settled and
King insisted that he had no claim
on them and with his brother
Charles King continued to drive
them away; Mckee became abus-
i've and King threw off his coat, in
viting Mckee TO get off his horse
and fight it out. The wordy war
continued for a few moments, both
men exchanging uncomplimentary
compliments, when finally Mckee
declared that he would kill King
and rode up to within 10 or 10 feet
and pointing the pistol in his face
snapped twice, the third time the
shell exploded and the bullet en-
tered Kings shoulder just below
the joint passing through the mus
cles and lodging under the skin in
his back; Kings arm dropped to

and King home, and to DR.. Holli-

The shooting took place about II
o'clock and that night King came
to Moscow, reaching here about
midnight DR.. Watkins removed
the bullet and dressed the wound.
Sunday morning complaint was
made and warrant issued, charging
Mckee with assault with deadly
weapon with intent to commit MUIR

A Deadly Occupation.
From the New York World

The deadliest occupation for men or
horses is teaming in the borax fields of
Death Valley of the Great American des-
ert. There the longest teams in the
world are employed. Scientists declare
that the fierce heat in this narrow rent
in the cracked surface of the earth is not
equalled elsewhere in the world. Where
the thermometer often registers 40 de-
grees of heat, unreneve6 by even breath
of air; where men sleep at night in shall
low bitches filled with water in order to
avoid dying from collapse, the necessity
for the longest teams of mules and horses
ever harnessed to draw the great borax-
laden wagons is apparent.
The desert team is the longest in the
world, and the percentage of deaths among
the horses is greater than that of domes-
tic animals used in any other calling.
Forty to sixty horses are often hitched
to one of the numbering. vehicles in which
the borax is slowly dragged across the
sun-baked alkali plains. The average life
of even the sturdiest horses used in this
work is six months, for in this length of
time they either become broken-w inded,
consumptive from inhaling the deadly
dust of the desert or are driven crazy by
the fearful heat.
"A man lHeIt, lHOuBn pIOlecleQ Dy the
wagon awnings from the suns rays, can
not go an hour without water without
danger of death. When a team breaks
down and the water supply becomes de-
pleted, the men ride off at top speed for
the nearest source of supply, and often
when they return they find that the re-
naming horses, made mad by thirst, have
broken from the harness and dashed off
only to find death in the desert.
The bnraX WnuOng weigh & 0O0 f1Ound {
and carry 10000 pounds at a load. Be
hind each wagon is tank containing
hundreds of gallons of water. The horses
are harnessed In pairs, the trained ones
I'm the lead. and the next in intelligence
just ahead of the tongue, while the I'M
ruly and young are hitched between. The
nigh leader has a bride with the strap
from the left jaw shorter than the other,
and from this bride runs a braided rope
which the driver, perched on the wagon
seat holds in his right hand.
The rope is called the ''terk-llne," and
is a little longer than the team, which
stretches out several hundred feet In
front of the wagon. During the busy sea-
son the boraX wagons make an almost
continuous train. and the horses alone II
placed in single file, would make a team
more than a hundred miles long.
Besides a little food and water the poor
animals get no care. They curry them
selves by rolling in the burning sand.
After a few months OF this killing labor
the poor creature becomes unfit for serv-
ice. A kindly rife bah that ends their
agony, and their emaclated carcasses are
left alongside the TRAN to furnish scant
picking for the lowering vulture.
