They Were Patriotic Paupers.

The paupers in the city of Cork
workhouse declined to eat special
meat dinner provided for them in cele-
bration of the jubilee. Ordinarily work
house fare rarely includes meat, but the
patriotic feelings of these poor people
prevented them from participating even
in that way in commemoration OF the
queens record reign. To remove their
objections they were assured that the
meat had been sent from New Zealand
and Australia by their own kith and
kin, but the Cork paupers only replied
that they would have no part in honor
ing Queen Victoria in any way what
ever as long as Ireland is ruled as II
now is.

THE TEXAN RANGERS.
The Force Now but Shadow OF What 1t
Was.

Was.
In the appropriation bill which the
legislature of Texas was recently called
in extraordinary session to consider IS
an item which provides for the mainte-
nance of the ranger force. 1t will not
exceed $25, 900, and the smallness OF
the sum emphasizes the decadence or
an arm remarkable for its singularity
and efficiency. There is nothing exactly
similar among the forces of the world.
The mounted constabulary of South Al
RIGA bears, perhaps, closer resem-
blance than any other, though there
are wide divergences.
The Texas ranger wears no uniform.
His dress is composed OF stout, dark
trousers, sometimes protected by over
alls, wooden shirt, heavy sack coat,
sombrero, boots stout gloves and spurs.
His arms are single action 40 caliber
colts six shooter and winchester car
bine-not rifle. He furnishes his own
horse and bedding. If the horse Is
killed in action, the state replaces it. IL
it dies or is stolen, the ranger must get
another. The pay is $50 month for
privates, $40 for sergeants, $50 for lieu
tenants and 800 for captains. The state
feeds them. Their supplies include -four
coffee, sugar, lard, bacon, beef, mutton
and canned goods. They Stay much
game and add variety to the bill OF fare
in that way.
Owing to the settlement of the from
tier and the gradual establishment OF
law and order the ranger force has stead
lily decreased for some years past. For
merly it consisted of six companies,
numbering approximately 100 men each.
Today there are not more than 90 men
in the service, all told, nor are they OF
SO high class as those who risked theil
lives back in the eighties. In those days
the composition of the companies wal

ranks. They were not enlisted because

Shared Its Oats with Less Fortunate
Equine Near by.
The horse is generally rated as one OF
the most intelligent of animals, and
pretty incident that was witnessed by a
number of persons the other day shows
that generosity also enters into his char
acter.
Two fine looking horses attached to
single buggies were hitched at the curD
opposite the Chestnut street entrance to
the Merchants Exchange, st. Louis.
They were hitched several feet apart,
but the hitching straps allowed them
sufficient liberty of movement to get
their heads together if they so desired.
The owner of one of them had taken the
opportunity of a prolonged stop to give
| the horse feed of oats, which was
| placed on the edge of the sidewalk IN a
bag.
This horse was contentedly munching
his oats when his attention was at
tracted by the actions of the other horse
The other horse was evidently very
hungry. He eyed the plentiful supply
of oats wistfully and neighed in an in
sinuating manner. The horse with the
feed pricked up his ears politely and
replied with neigh, which must have
been in horse language an invitation to
the other fellow to help himself. Evil
IDENTIFY he accepted it as such, for he
moved along in the direction OF the bag
as far as his hitching strap would per
NIT, but the strap was not long enough
and his hungry mouth fell about yarc
short of the bag.
The other horse noticed and seemed
to appreciate the difficulty. Fortunate

Secretary Cages Report

Those who expected Secretary Gage
to make sensational financial recon-
mendations in his annual report to
Congress were disappointed with the
conservative policy outlined in the
statement prepared by him and made
public after it was read to the cabinet.
He starts out by saying that while
the present satisfactory condition of
things financially may continue for an
indefinite period, he deems it the part
OF wisdom to suggest some reform in
our financial system. He recommends
either that steps be taken largely to
increase the gold reserve, or to de-
crease the amount of currency in cir
culation, for which gold may be de-
manded, and expresses preference
for the latter; and that the bonded
Indebtedness of the country be re-
funded by the issuing for the entire
amount OF l2 per cent. bonds, pay
able in gold, which would save the
country very large amount of money
In the shape of the higher interest
that is now being paid, and would,
Secretary Gage thinks, greatly
strengthen the credit of the nation.
Several amendments TO the national
banking laws are recommended with
the idea of largely increasing the
amount of national bank currency,
among them being the establishment
of national banks with a capital of
So, 600 in places of less than 900 in
habitants, the reduction of taxation
ling notes TO one half
of per cent. per annum, the privi-
lege to issue notes to the par value of
the bonds deposited with the govern
ment, and others more or less techni-
cal in nature.
That Mr.. Gage has not been bit by
the cure -all-ills financial dog was
shown by the following modest intro
duction: THE recommendations
take the liberty to make must be con-
strued as tentative steps in direction
which, if consistently pursued, will
ultimately lead to conditions theoret-
ically desirable, rather than in being
in themselves final measures to that
end.''

seemed in fair way to be fulfilled.
