Only LITTLE PIarfnI.

"He amt vicious, stranger, and amt
got a single mean trait" So spoke the
owner of the mustang to the tender
foot who was soiourning in the hills Of
southwestern Missouri. "You just get
on and try him and if you don't like
him, don't buy him. He may be bit
spry and playful, but that's cause he's
been in the stable over a week" The
tenderfOot sprang to the saddle and
what happened thereafter he only dim
~ remembered. The horse reared,
then he came down on all tours with
his legs as stiff as a saw horse. Hav-
ing repeated this operation half a doz-
en- times, he sprang forward and Gov
cred a good section of the county at a
9:01 gait, with no running mate, either.
He reared, leaped, plunged and finally
made his way back to the starting
point, made as if to roll over and then
dived for the stable door, leaving the
horseman dazed, dumb and limp in a
bush near the roadside. The owner
helped the would-be purchaser to his
feet, Strengthened him out, and jammed
his battered hat on his head. "What
Sind-kind of a horse do you call
that?" gasped the tenderfoot. "Sho!
He's all right, Been in the stable a
week, that's all. Feels bit playful.
But he has right nice gait, What dc
you think Of that single foot of his'n?'

widows of officers on pension rolls at
ratings ranging from $50 to SIS a
month. Several important bills are in
the presidents hands awaiting his ac-
ton, foremost among them the immi-
grafton bill,
One act written upon the statute
books this session is noteworthy as be-
ing the work practically of one man.
That is the act to reduce the cases in
which the penalty of death may be in
ficted, a movement to which Gen. Cur
tbs, of New York, has devoted the best
efforts of his congressional career
After years Of agitation of the subject,
he has succeeded in erasing from the
statute books all United States laws
imposing the death penalty for other
crimes than murder, criminal assault,
treason or piracy, and endowed juries
with the power to stipulate whether or
not capital punishment shall be in
ficted for these crimes.
The interstate commerce laws have
been extended to prevent traffic in OBJ
scene literature of articles designed
for immoral uses.
The friends of the Tennessee Cen
tennial exposition Of 1897 have succeed
ed in securing an appropriation of
$40, 900 for a government building and
exhibit, while the Nebraska delegation
is working to secure a like recognition
for the Omaha exposition. One of the
most important pieces Of public land
legislation permits the patenting OF
lands containing petroleum or other
mineral oils, under the mineral land
laws.
An act was passed to validate the
acts of deputy marshals in the Indian
territory sworn between March l, 1895,
and April Is, 1896, when the law was
defective; an act providing heavy pen
alties for selling Intoxicating liquors
to Indians.
Military acts were passed authoriz'
izing officers who served in the regular
army during the rebellion to bear the
official title and on ceremonial occa,
sions wear the uniform of their rank
for issuing certificates Of service to
members of the military telegraph
corps; for the state of Colorado to use

eraI of the appropriation bills not yet
passed by the senate. Much of the
time Of that body has been consumed
in the discussion OF the Cuban ques-
ton. Necessarily, the policy of the
house to avoid new legislation which
involved expenditures has been en-
forced upon the senate. The Nicara-
qua canal bill, which was discussed at
great length in the senate, but not
voted on, was not taken up in the
house, nor has the free homes bill,
which the senate passed, had hear
ing at the other end of the capitol.
The Pacific railroad funding bill met a
decisive defeat in the house. One fea-
ture of the session worthy Of note is
the great number Of private pension
bills passed, many Of them placing the

An Abrurd Suggestion.

A recent writer suggested: IF you
want a gold dollar coined you have to
bring 100 cents worth Of gold to the
mint. Do the same with silver and no
injustice will be cone anybody" The
only metallic dollars" known to the
law are the gold dollar coined from
1922 grains of fine gold and the silver
dollar coined from 37lH grains of fine
silver. The minis can coin no other
kinds OF dollars. You can't get into a
silver dollar 100 cents worth of silver
bullion at its present market price.
AS this price is constantly changing,
the dollars suggested above would have
to be coined of q multitude of values to
correspond with the changing price Of
the bullion. That could not be done.
The present legal ratio of sixteen to one
is all right. Open the minis TO silver
coinage as they are open to gold and
the white metal will take care of Itself.
