undertaking 70 contrast the work Of the
legislature which has just closed its sss-
sion with the work OF the preceding iegis-
ia,ure. make q rabulated statement IKE
this:
Amount expended by the AcGraw
administration during lsse and

Total amount appropriated BY the
legislature Of 1897. -..sll4.TTs
Saving 10 taxpayers ............N. $3.50
The impudent nature OF the claim which
these Populistic organs undertake TO play
upon their readers is shown by the fact
that tho first set of figures represents
every dollar expended during two years Of
Republican administration. while the latter
amount represents the total OF but one
single appropriation bill which passed the
legislature. There were fifteen or twenty
other bills which contained appropriations
ranging from upwards Of a half a million
dollars down. not one OF which Is taken
Into account IN this statement
AS single item. the amount expended
by the last state administration for school
purposes forms one OF the items In tho
total expenditures above given. The
amount provided for II the school bill this
year is estimated at upwards OF s73o. 600;
nearly three-quarters of million dollars
which does not appear in the sppropria-
ton total as given by this Popuiistic false
witness, and this is but one single item.
The one particular saving il the compart-
son as given is in the appropriation for
the state university. The expenditures for
the past two years were s2s9. s55.s2. includ-
ing therein the cost of construction OF the
present buildings. The appropriation for
the present year is but $4,000.

now in the governors hands are approved.

prlations made by the last legislature real

ever. IL Is pretty safe 10 say that those
bills. and the school law together. Will add
at least sl.60o.ooo to the figures falsely put
forward TO represent the total appropria-
lions for the expenses OF the state for the
next two years.

Few careers have been more romantic
than that OF Sir John Thurston. governor
and high commissioner OF the Fiji islands
and OF the Western Pacific. who has just
died. He was born Of humble parentage
at Bath. ran away TO sea, served as a
cabin boy and as q sailor before the mast
until he finally landed IN Australia. where
he became first errand boy and then clerk
in small grocery store In q mining town
called Nurdgee. He subsequently sue
ceeded his employer In the ownership OF
the shop. but failed IN business, and there
upon went on a trading voyage TO the
South Pacific islands.
Shipwrecked OF the coast OF Fiji. he was
ono OF the few on board who escaped,
and few weeks later found position
as clerk to the British consul In Fill.
Four years later he had become consul
himself but resigned this office 20 be-
come prime minister to the king OF the
islands. When the latter were annexed by
Great Britain, Sir John was induced 10 ac-
cept the Office OF colonial secretary 10 the
first governor, Lord Stannore. and on the
departure OF that dignitary for England
stepped into his shoes and ruled as gov
ernor and high commissioner in his stead.

was TO tie string TO doorbell. and. after
jerking It violently. run away and watch

Snow Comes and Promises to Bring First.
Glass Slsishing.

There was Il feeling of Understandable
relief to the minds of the many in
this broad section of the land, when
the snow was found, some four or
five inches deep, Thursday morning,
and good snow at that. No one took
any stock in the few flakes that fcated
they meant well and all that but we
have had too much of that sort of bust
ness to be easily taken in.
All day long the snow came. AS it
grew warmer, it packed down solid
and the sleighing was all that could
be asked for. The sound of the bells
heard for the first time this season
without an accompaniment of the grit
of dirt beneath. was welcome enough.
Business has long felt the need of
snow. The rural sections have been
specially Handicapped by it's absence
Work in many lines has come to a
standstill. and dependent business has
languished in consequence.
1t was a snow that needed shovel
ling, and of course we We're out with a
shovel of some kind, wreck of years
of service, perhaps, coated with dust
and rust.
Milady with her broom, about as
much use as a feather buster against
the heavy snow went at it with a
sense of relief of change from the
daily routine of homework, house
cares, or no cares at ADJUST for the
fun of it. And there are others, who
don't find any fun in such business.
