DIRECT LEGISLATION.

The legislature was incompetent,
and its record demonstrates it, from
beginning to end. Its inoapacity pre-
vented measures which the bosses
would not have objected to, while re-
forms which might have injured cor
porations or the bosses were easily
throttled. -Newark \. j. Sunday
Call.
The legislature is defunct. It was
marked by a few virtues and thous-
and crimes. The members return
home to receive the curses, loud and
deep. of their disappointed constitu-
ents. Representative, Minneapolis,
Mimi.
Thank God. they have adjourned,
and may the people never again be
cursed with a similar aggregation of
bold party politicians and jobbers in
Legislative council. -Tulare Co. Cal. J
News.
AS marking the beginning of pro-
found changes in American constitu-
tiOns the legislation concerning the
referendum and initiative in Nebras-
ka and South Dakota the past year is
important. In Nebraska the law en-
ables the voters of cities. by special
election, to adopt the referendum.
provided d two-thirds ma iority is re-
corded in its favor. When thus adopt
ed by city. all future ordinances
passed by the council do not go into eff
feet for thirty days. and in the mean
time. on petition of five per cent of
the voters. any ordinance must be
submitted to the people, and receive
the approval of majority of the
votes, in order to give it legal effect.
Exceptions are made for public peace,
health and current expenditures.
Also ID per cent of the voters may
petition for a proposed ordinance,
and 20 per cent of the voters may
compel the mayor and council to
submit such ordinance to popular
vote.
In South Dakota a Joint resolution
has been adopted submitting a con-
stitutional amendment to the people

A MINIATURES daily prints half
column editorial about the Rev. f.
E. Baker of that city who has given up
the ministry to devote himself to the
labor movement. The paper in ques-
ton wonders at Mr.. Baker because he
''cannot understand how wealth can be
accumulated while poverty continues.
Neither can understand it. and | wish
the all-wise editor of the above sheet
would explain it. The bare fact of pow
erty among willing workers IS conclu-
sive evidence that the wealth their
hands have created has been stolen
from them. Poverty is not divine
gift it is man-made condition. and
the wealth of one man can never excuse
the want and suffering of another. Mr..
Baker is right, plutocratic papers to
the contrary Notwithstanding. and |
honor him for the step he has taken.

Manufacturers employing women
claim that married women, especially
those having children depending up
on them for support, are more at
tentive and docile than the unmar-
ried, as they are compelled to use
their utmost eXertions to procure the
necessaries of life. Thus are the vir-
tues, the peculiar virtues of the
female character, to be converted in
to her injury, and all that is most
dutiful and tender in her nature

Bats and Where to Find Them.

Frogs are most plentiful on the
shores of ponds and streams filled with
plant growth and in low moist places
in meadows In searching for them in
grass wait till you see one jump, then
catch it in your hands. They are not SO
easily got from the shores, as they
are apt to take to the water at the first
alarm.
Crabs are usually found under stones
along the shores of stream or pond,
and in some localities in low moist
places in grass lands Seize the crab
back of the pinchers and it cannot nip
you.
Dobsons are only found under messy
stones in swift running waters. They
are of dark gray color, have many
legs, and when fully grown are about
three inches long The head is shield
shaped and armed with good stout PIN
GERS, so handle the dobson as you would
crab The best way TO get supply OF
dobsons is to have some one hold one
edge of q fine meshed net on the bot
tom of tho stream, while you turn over
the stones above the net with hoe.
The dobsons, loosing their hold en- the
bottom, will be carried by the current
into the net. Put frogs, crabs and dob
SONS into pail with plenty of grass and
some water. If you are to keep them for
some time, change the water occasion
ally.
Grubs are excellent bait for trout ear
ly in the season. They are found in par
TALLY decayed tree trunks, stumps and
old timbers left in moist places. Cut
into the wood with an ak, and If you
find it full of holes of the size Of lead
pencil knock it to pieces and pick out
the grubs. Put them in a tin bait box
with some of the rotten wood you found
them in. Harper Round Table.

OF absolute honor
But there are other causes for the liars

social degradation and tried to correct it.
Let your communication be yea, yea, nay,

sometimes lie, and all the worse because
they have placed so much emphasis on the

A Live Beetle In Iron Orc.

a. Il White who is now or has very
recently been citizen of Ell Paso, Tex,
was once the owner of the most wonder
full chronological specimen ever found
since the creation of the world-a live bee
tie found in a solid matrix of iron ore.
The curiosity was discovered a considera-
BILE depth below the surface In the Long
his iron sarcophagus as snugly as though
the iron had been in plastic state when
IL came In contact with the creatures
body The bug was of dull reddish
gray color and was Of course of species
wholly unknown to the entomologists.
According to the El Pasa Bullion, this
wonder was presented to well known
scientific association Of the Atlantic slope
about two years ago.-St. Louis Republic

A Curious Lion Story.

When lions were still numerous and
easily observed in southern Africa, they
were sometimes seen instructing one an
other in voluntary gymnastics and prao-
ticing their leaps, making bush play
the part Of the absent game. Moffat
tells the story of lion, which had
missed zebra by miscalculating the
distance, repeating the jump several
times for his own instruction. Two OF
his comrades coming upon him while he
was engaged in the exercise, he led
them around the rock to show them how
matters stood, and then, returning to
the starting point, completed the lesson
by making q final leap. The animals
kept roaring during the whole OF the
curious scene, talking together" as
the native who watched them said. BY
the aid of individual training of this
kind industrial animals become apter
as they grow older; old birds, for in
stance constructing more artistic nests
than young ones, and little mammals
like mice becoming more adroit with
age. Yet, however ancient in the life of
the species these acquisitions may be,
they have not the solidity of primordial
instincts and are lost rapidly If not
used. M. q. Letourneau in Popular
Science Monthly.

attended, A very interesting program
consisting OF Rotations and vocal and
instrumental music was rendered, which
was greatly appreciated by the audience
The band was materially assisted by MIR.
James Letcher OF the Quincy and james
Sullivan OF Calumet. The selections by
the band boys speaks volumes for their
leader, and althou n the organization
is yet young the pieces rendered IN the
manner they were would do credit to a
much older organization. BY steady
practice the band can be brought up to
high standard OF excellence. Previous

ladies' of the burg from until 1;3o

A Native Australian weather Prophet.

"Warrigul, 4" called Sergeant Dalton
- the black tracker, "look out for
nigh, dry spot for the camp tonight My
bunnion and those black clouds up there
say it's going to rain SOON"
The aborigine rolled over on his back,
and for several minutes he scanned the
somber banks above Then he darted a
glance into the forest about. Dalton
watched him, for he knew that the eye
of weather prophet peered into the
elements.
The whole time the black lay on the
ground, with his arms under his head,
he never moved muscle. His eyes roll
ed about in his head like irresponsible
PUZZLED white marbles, covering the
whole space from the ground behind
him to the horizon in front and the
earth rim of the black vault above him,
OH each side. Then he slowly closed his
lids for a moment and rolled over on
his elbow, facing the sergeant.
"No rain. massa Plenty dry spell
all along two months.
"How do you tell all this weather
business?" the sergeant asked, for he
knew by past experience that the weather
prediction of any true Australian tribes
man was more to be trusted than that
from any scientific meteorological bu
reau. These people predict seasons Of
wind and rain with perfect accuracy.
"See gum leaf?' said Warrigul, point
ing to the eucalyptus trees.
"Yes, plenty of Them" assented Dali
ton.
"S'posin it rain, leaf lay down.
S'posin it keep dry, leaf stand up See,
all leaf stand up to look for water Wa
ter long time off.
"Look on ground, T" continued the alb
original bushman. "Gum leaf dry, turn
up, crack loud. No rain. S'posin rain
soon, leaf drink in wet first; lay out.
Plenty heavy dew all nights; plenty
long dry spell ahead. Outing
