Her Repair Kit.

The gum chewing habit among girls
has come in for deal Of criticism first
and last, but who can deny that 1t has
its good points after reading the fol-
lowing from the Punxsutawney Spirit?
"A Punxsutawney girl was out hiking
the other day with Punxsutawney
young man. They were six miles from
home on country road. She punctured
her tire. Alas said the young man as
he dismounted and looked the picture
Of despair, I have no repair kit! What
shall we do? It is awful Quickly ex-
tracing a large wad OF chewing gum
from Ter mouth and placing it over the
puncture before much Of the wind had
escaped, the girl said: Lend me your
handkerchief. Young Augustus Fitz
James handed her his bandanna. Delft
ly she wound 1t round the tire over the
chewing gum and tied the ends in a
hard knot on the inside. 4 am ready
she said, and she mounted her wheel
and rode off with a nonchalant air and
fresh wad Of gum"

Show Your Manhood!

Mr.. Pullman's last admonition to his
twin boys was not unkind. live could
have the ears Of those young men, says
the Interior, and others like them, who
are born to the paralysis of great
wealth, we would say: "Now is your
chance! Now you are on level Of
opportunity such as your father en-
ioyed and as the rest Of us who have
made anything Of ourselves possessed
the opportunity of demonstrating
ones manhood" To all sons OF wealthy
families we would say: "You were un-
fortunately born. The circumstances
are against you. But you have the
good blood and the good iron in you
'acquit yourselves like men and fght;'
beat the hindering environments of
luxury down and show that you are
better than wealth; that you are
strong, brave, determined men, able to
hew your own paths in the world.
There is true glory in that. There is
none of it in inherited wealth. Come
join our band of self-made men, boys.
We will give you good cheer and manly
fellowship. We are hearty, happy,
genial, proud and self-respecting lot
Of fellows. We would like to shake
hands with you, congratulate you and
make you welcome in the ranks which
are the hope of the world and the glory
of mankind"

One of the best prescriptions that can
issue from a physician is change,
a specialist friend of mine tells me.
says a writer in an exchange.
The effects of mingling with new people
who have new methods of thought is
very salutary, he says. Always to see
the same people do the same thing,
feel the same way, produces a!stagnant
condition of the mind and heart that
is very distressing to behold. There
are thousands Of invalids who might
be greatly benefited by getting away
from home, If only for a short time,
to mingle with strangers and be
touched with the magnetism Of the
great world as 1t courses in Its accus-
toned rounds. And there are mental
and moral invalids who need the same
change to get their heart and mind
enlarged and let in q little more Of the
great light of life.

Land Barons Of Mexico.

Topeka Capital: In an article in
the Scientific American appear some
facts about the real condition Of Mex
leo and its people that throw light on
Mr.. Bryan's theory that silver is "the
poor mans money" They indicate
that in a country where silver lis the
standard the laborer who gets 1t is a
poor man indeed. Out Of a popula-
ton Of twelve million people the Sci
entfc American article states that
5000 people, or one-twentleth Of one
per cent Of the total population, own
all the land, "with influence enough
to avoid practically all taxation;
which falls on the poor" This condi-
ton is likely to get worse before it
gets better, since where labor is so
cheap profits in labor employment
must be enormously high, which ex-
plains the rush of foreign capital into
Mexico Of late years. Capital rapidly
increases. This is cited by silver
champions as a fine thing for Mexico,
but it appears to be really afne thing
for capitalists, but a very doubtful
boon to the masses Of the people. In
q country where 5000 lords own the
land, where profits to capital are high
and wages to labor low and where
taxes fall almost entirely on the poor,
II would seem that the rich are bound
to grow richer and the poor poorer.
The depreciating silver standard
means continually rising prices, but
wages remain stationary or are very
slow to rise. In our own country the
course Of prices, on the contrary, has
been constantly lower and Of wages
higher. 1t is estimated that the fall
Of silver and the equivalent rise in
prices in Mexico in the last five years
have greatly reduced the purchasing
power Of the Mexican laboring man Of
every class. II Mr.. Bryan has been
honest in his opinions about the ef-
fects Of a silver standard he will come
home from Mexico with his pet illu-
sions pretty effectually dispelled and
with more pride in his own country's
common sense and capacity for self
government.

Under the new fee and salary law,
as construed by the state legal de.
partment, county commissioners will
not be permitted to draw over IS a
day for their services. The law gives
them IS day and fixes a maximum
annual salary. Some were inclined
to the opinion that they could draw
the maximum, no matter whether
they put IN enough days to earn it or
not. The attorney general has decid-
ed that they can draw pay only for
the number Of days they actually
work, aud that II the amount aggre-
gates more than the maximum, then
they can only draw the maximum.
Dickinson's commissioners have al
ways received payment only for days
actually served. An opinion has also
been given that county commissioners
must decide upon the amount neces-
sary for clerk hire in the county
clerks office. There Is q maximum
amount fixed by law, but the commits
sioners can fix the umount just as
much under that as they see tit.

Advancing Civilization.

II you do not believe that the lower
animals have done their share in pro-
noting civilization, read very inter-
esting article on "The Economic Value
Of Animals" by Charles Frederick
Holder, in the Popular Science Monthly,
in which the following paragraph ap-
pears: 1.-THE influence which the lower
animals have had upon mankind has
never been Appreciated; had it been
they would have received more consid-
Grafton at our hands. They not only
provide us with food, raiment and vast
array of industries, but they have been
factors in the physical and intellectual
development Of mankind. The beauty
of the birds and insects. the splendid
coloring of the fishes and reptiles, the
quiet harmonies of nature and the prob
lens they suggest have insensibly had
a refining effect and aided in the evolu-
ton of the higher and esthetic senses.
In a word, the so-called lower animals
have been important factors in produc-
ing the high civilization which marks
the Caucasian Of to-day And now the
ladies who wear in their hats the bodies
of birds slaughtered for their beautiful
plumage can plead good scientific au-
thority for the claim that they are thus
advancing "high civilization"

Poultry is high in Arizona and feed

McNall's Injury to Kansas.

Apologists for Supt. McNall in bis
action in driving from the State large
insurance companies have pretty poor
picking. 1t is not alone the business
taken from the State that is regret
table but Kansas is advertised as
commonwealth that Is so cratic as to
refuse admission inside its bound
aries to the largest corporations oil the
nation about whose standing there is
no manner Of doubt-except in the
mind OF McNall. 1t is pretty well
understood that the only reason that
the superintendent is so bitter against
the companies is that they will not
submit to his "examination".--a sort
OF taxation that it is rather expensive
to the companies, though highly re-
munerative to the superintendent and
his examiners. 1t was but the other
day that a judge from the bench de-
nounced as "repugnant to the minds
Of all right.thinking men" the
methods Of the Kansas department Of
insurance at the present time. Nc.
Nall has not done the State a single
item Of good in return for his injury.
He is making it the sneer OF the best
businessmen Of the nation. Take the
Mutual Life that leaves the State
next Saturday. 1t has in Kansas but
one-one hundred and sixtieth Of its
its business. 1t will lose little by
the Withdrawing, yet it throws out OF
employment many men here and
there is nothing gained. The COM
panies are criticised for their with
drawal but they can better do it than
submit to the everlasting attacks OF
the department Of insurance upon
their integrity--and an "examina-
ton" is vastly more costly under the
present management Of the depart
ment. 1t is a sorry record that the
administration is making in all its
departments and the insurance Sec
ton is about the worst Of them.

variously as a grinding mill and cir

lows them to examine the bullets" as
they call the balls-an eloquent COM
mentary on their education; and when
they see him mounted and spinning
along their exclamation is: "Ko banda
kasikolol" which is alleged to be
equivalent to Good graciousl" Could
they behold one Of our American
