JACKS "DOUBLE Play"

His Presence of Mind Cost His Father .
Check For the Doctor.
A graduate of Union college tells
this story: There was in college
with him a young man who, being
accustomed to take frequent trips
to New York, on one of these ex-
cursions was embarrassed by seeing
his father approaching him. In a
moment he resolved to play the
part of his own double. His father,
looking surprised, accosted him
with, well, Jack, what are you
doing here?"
With great dignity the culprit
replied, II beg your pardon, sir,
but you have evidently mistaken the
person.
why Jack, what do you mean?"
Excuse me, sir, but I do not care
to be interrupted in this manner by
stranger, and he turned abruptly
and walked quickly away. His
father stood confused for moment
and then Immediately set off for the
Grand Central depot to catch the
train for Schenectady and prove
that Jack was an impostor. But
Jack quickly guessed his object and,
reaching the depot, caught the
same train, but for safety settled
himself in the baggage Car. When
the nervous ride was over and the
train stopped at Schenectady, the
prosecuted youth ran up to the col
lege at sprinter's gait and, burst
ing into his room, eaid to his room
mate, "Get me in bed quick; the
old man will be here in minute!"
Jack was soon in bed, with a wet
cloth around his head, his face
powdered, a teacup with broken
saucer and a spoon for medicine,
while his roommate was sitting at
his bedside with a Shakespeare in
his hand. 49,.
Soon tbs old gentleman came up
stairs and, with a noisy knock,
Numbered out as soon as the door
was opened, where's Jacki"

Just then Jack opened his eyes
and said family, lis that you,
fathera" and then a moment later:
added, "This young man has been
very kind to me, father" With a
look Of bewilderment the old man
said, "Is there anything can do
for you, my poor boy2" and, taking
out his checkbook, he left some
thing to cover the expenses of sick
ness. He then retired. to pick up
the thread of business dropped in
the city, feeling convinced that he
had met Jacks double. New York

Have American. Any sooi.l Standards,

Have Americans Any Social standards7
Foreigners are always puzzled by
our lack of social standards. Our
country is 60 vast and complex that
they never see it whole They are
always trying to find out who sets
the pace for American life, and they
can discover no order Of precedence,
no rank in occupation, no dominant
city. We have been gradually work
ing into this state Of affairs We
were not democratic when the Dec
laration Of Independence was signed
nor when Washington took the oath
as president. q
Many people have the idea that
the size Of q city determines its So
oial Importance, and that New York
sets the standard Of living for the
rest of the country.
The fact that New York has be-.
come the publishing center of the
country has helped it's aggrandize-
ment more than. anything else. The
great publishing firms, whether Of
books or magazines, and the great
newspaper establishments are To-
Gated there. Society stories, both
the fictitious ones Of literature and
the real ones Of the reporters, have
their scenes laid along narrow.

ny the Virginia legislature. Two
such honors seldom come to any
man in single week, and it is not
surprising that Senator Daniel
should be overwhelmed. with con-
gratulations on lis good fortune.
The republicans of the House
should be held responsible for their
failure to save the S. 900 900 or 81, :
100000 a year which Representa-
tiye Bingham asserted could, in the
opinion OF himself and his colleagues
on the Appropriation committee, be
saved by the reduction. of extrava-
giant salaries paid to clerks in the
departments. If that committee
has such an opinion, it failed to
perform its duty whan it reported
the Legislative, Executive and Ju-
dicial appropriation bill, now before
the House, without providing for
those reductions.
There are reasons for believing
that there are sufficient number of
republican Senators who will refuse
to reverse their previous votes a.

point a Senator after a legislature
has failed to elect when it had an
opportunity, to make it certain that

Preparation to Furnish Water to Be Accepted
With Some Notifications.

Special to the Denver Republicans
WAsHINGroN, ID. c., Dec. H.
Secretary Bliss sent to the Senate
to-day. report upon the proposed
irrigation of the Montezuma valley.
The last Indian appropriation bill
contained a provision directing the
secretary to confer with the Monte
yuma Valley Irrigation Company,
and this he did through George
Wright, Indian Inspector. The
company submitted an offer to de-
liver sufficient quantity of water
to irrigate 10000 acres of land at a
cost of ST so 900 and cost of main
tenance of $40, 900 a year. Wright
says that no other company in Col
orado could furnish the water desir.
cd, for the reason that the Monte
yuma Company has all the water
from the Dolores river appropriated.
There is no other water near the
Ute reservation that can be employ
ed for the purpose wanted. Wright
recommends that the proposition of
the company be favorably consider
cd, with a modification providing
for a 2o-year contract, for furnish
ing I66 % cubic feet Of water at a
point on the reservation line, with
a provision for a renewal of the con-
tract, with provision for forfeiture
for failure to deliver the water, and
that the maintenance be placed at
5000 per year. He also advises
the leasing of part Of the lands irri-
gated to white settlers for term Of
IS years, by which time they, the
Indians, may be qualified to proper
'ly cultivate the lands themselves.
Secretary Bliss has requested the
officers Of the company to come to
Washington and submit q more
definite proposition, and also to
ascertain If they cannot meet the
recommendations Of Inspector
Wright.

the recent election clearly demon
strates that the beginning of the
ending Of Senator Teller's political
career is at hand. = Montezuma
Journal.
The above would lead one to be-
,!ieve that Chas. A. Day had ate an
overdose of sour prunes. Mr.. Day
,forgets that the people of Colorado
have tried Senator Teller in the past
and have found him true and they
are not fools enough to believe he
he will betray them, even if he did
support a candidate in the recent
election whom they chose to lay on
the shelf. We have never had any
political love or admiration for Hayt,
but the fact that he was defeated
last month signifies nothing SO far
as Senator Teller's future is CON
cerned. The beginning of the end
ing of Senator Teller's political ca
reer" will come when he chooses to
retire from pablo life, the editor of
