The total valuation for last year was
1,751, 151, showing falling off Of
$2,359,995. Most of this loss has been
on real values; there being practically
no reduction on corporation property
and very small loss on personal; and
the loss is distributed to most of the
counties, very few showing any gain.
The only county which shows notice
able gain is Lawrence with a gain Of
$625,874. Gains in the few other coun-

CHILDREN'S QUESTIONS.


They Suggest the Ccnselcss Activity of the
Youthful Minds.
Many Of his questions cannot be con-
nected with his reading, but appear to
result from reasoning or a recognized
analogy. "How do plants make them
selves bigger when they grow" he ask
ed when we were talking about plant
ing his garden l heard him saying 70
himself, "Wildless, wildless. " l asked
him what he WAS talking about, and he
replied "About plants that are not
wild. What are they called?" Garden
or cultivated plants" | answered.
"What made you say wildless?'
"Why, said he, Il knew that harm
less means something that wouldn't do
any harm, and so wildless means plants
that are not wild. He mentioned the
fall, and l asked him what he meant by
fall. He replied: "The winter at fir !;
the first of it. Do they OIL it fall be-
cause everything is falling
There was some talk about dressing
him or putting on his dress, and, rea-
soning from analogy, he asked, "When
God puts the skin on people, is that
skinning them:' once read of the
people in the moon being like grasshop-
pers and tCld him about it. When had
finished the story, he said: when we
look up in the sky, we see the moon
rolling on above us, and when the peo-
pie in the moon look up i'll the sky they
see the earth rolling along above them.
What is the strange puzzle about that
/ told him that his specimen of mica
was silicate of potash, and he asked
"Why is mica silicate of potash-be-
cause they put ashes i'll pot?"
These questions have been recorded
to represent an innumerable number un-
recorded and to show the wide range OF
thought and the variety of reasonings
that child under years of age may
have. They show his natural method OF
acquiring knowledge, but they can on
ly suggest the ceaseless activity of his
mind during all his waking hours. -

TRICKS OF MEMORY.
Some Amusing Franks the CapricIous Jade
Has Played.

Has Played.
Some one has forcibly remarked that
proper names escape from the memory as
easily as CREASED pigs and illustrates the
remark with an anccdote concerning Joe
jefferson, who never forgot his lines but
has an imperfect recollection of names.
jefferson had been introduced to General
Grant at a time when that distinguished
soldier was the lion of the social world,
and the popular actor was much impressed
with the personality of the hero. A few
hours later as he went up in his hotel
elevator, rugged looking man, with
military bearing, bowed pleasantly to him
and made an observation regarding the
speed of the elevator, when jefferson said:
81 beg your pardon Your face is very
familiar, but cannot recall your name"
"Grant," was the laconic but perfectly
courteous reply.
Il got off at the wrong floor" said JEFF
ferson, for fear | would ask him next If
he had ever been in the war"
A favorite trick of caprcious memory
is TO substitute some other name for the
one wanted a process due to assimilation.
A couple of ladies on Chicago street car
asked the conductor to leave them at Penn
sylvania avenue.
"There is no such avenue in this sub
urb," said the conductor.
"I}ut there certainly is, " reiterated the
ladies eve have friends living there and
ought to know.
PERHAPS you mean keystone avenue?"
suggested passenger, and they said that
was just what they did mean, but they
knew it had somej ming to do with Penn
sylvania. which was Impressed upon their
memories as tie EovIono state.

The recognition Of Cuba may not
come, but the very agitation Of it in
high places will show that there is a
limit to the present destruction in
that island. Coercion at Washington
cannot long prevent the voluntary as
sistance of the Americans who desire
to aid the Cubans, and when such as
sistance is rendered the end will not
be long in coming. Spain can then
take such measures as she thinks
wise.

Senator Mills has conferred no dig

that he has pursued in the senate, not
alone on the Cuban question but on
every matter of Importance that has
arisen. 1t is in order to remark that
the state government has been good
second to Mills in bringing the state
into disrepute. Nothing that has
transpired in Texas within the pur-
view of governmental devising or
doing has reflected any luster upon
the state rduring the six years that

Reciprocity will have longer lease

Perhaps Cleveland will remain in
the presidential chair long enough to
test the right Of the head Of the gov
eminent to override the will Of both
houses Of congress in matters pertain
ing to the recognition of another gov
eminent. 1t Is to be hoped that this
matter will be settled. The represent
atives of the people should have some
rights that the executive has not
usurped. Government Of the people is
a farce if the president is also the ex-
ecutive and the chosen representa-
tives Of the people have no authority
to express themselves authoritatively
in reference to the relations of this
country to the government Of other
countries. If all that concerns foreign
powers is within the sole control Of
the president and his secretary of
state and these can defy the will of
the senate as they see fit, what is the
meaning of "by and with the consent
of the senate" in those clauses Of the
constitution that cover the relations
of the United States to other coun-
tries. There is limit to the patience
of the senate as to usurpations of the
executive, and it is almost reached.

Revenue enough to pay expenses is
the requirement of the government,
