A BIT OF POP LAUNDERING.
Legislature Made = Blur At Economy

Him.

Topeka, Kas.. March 2s.-(SpeciaI.) Three
reform patriots who were caught by the
false economy of the Pop legislature and
who will have to go without a couple Of
months pay this fiscal year are Charles A.
Taylor. assistant state auditor; A. E. Nc
Coubrie. assistant state insurance super
~tntendent. and Charles Ross. assistant sec
rotary of state. All of these officials will
have a deficiency in their salaries for the
next legislature to provide for. Taylor's
and Ross salaries are fixed by law at
81, 600 a year. Instead of amending the law
fixing these salaries the Pops simply cut
down the appropriations to $3.50 each.
They have been drawing at the rate of 81 800
n year. however. and on April 1 their APP
propriations will run out. They can't get
any more then until next August. Nc
Coubrie's salary is fixed at 81. 800. but only
$1,000 was appropriated to pay il. He has
been doing the same as the others have
drawing his monthly salary on the l,50o
a year basis. The appropriation will ex-
pire next month. and he will nave to fore
go the pleasure OF drawing any salary for
a couple OF months. There are a large
number OF other subordinate officials who
will be caught the same way. The next
legislature will be called upon to meet
the deficiency. and II 1t does not the officers.
It is claimed, can sue the state and recover.

From Harpers Magazine.
1 took my first and last look at the great
Confederate chieftain. This is what I
saw: A finely formed man apparently
about 60 years Of age, well above the aver
g height. with a clear rudy complexion
just then sunused by a deep crimson
flush. that rising from his neck overspread
his face and even slightly tinged his broad
forehead. which, bronzed where it had
been exposed to the weather. was clear
and beautifully white where It had been
shielded by his hat-deep brown eyes
abundant gray hair, silky and fine in tex
ture. with a full gray beard n mus
tache. neatly trimmed and not overlong,
but which nevertheless almost completely
concealed his mouth. A splendid uniform
of Confederate-gray cloth. that had evil
IDENTIFY seen but little service. which was
closely buttoned about him. and fitted him
to perfection. An exauisitely Mounted
sword. attached to a gold-embroidered Rus
sia,leather belt, trailed loosely on the floor
at his side. and In his right hand he car
ried q PREDETERMINED soft gray felt hat
encircled by a golden cord. while in
his left hand he held a pair Of buckskin
gauntlets. Booted and spurred. still vigor-
Gus and erect he stood bareheaded look
ing out of the open doorway, sad-faced
and weary; a soldier and a gentleman,
bearing himself in defeat with an all-un-
conscious dignity that sat well upon him.

KEEPING MEAT.
A Scientist Says 1t Should Never BE

A Scientist Says 1t ShOuld Never BE
Allowed to Remain in
the Paper.
A scientist gives a bit OF information
for housekeepers that may be found use
full. He says meats ought never to be
wrapped in PAPER even while coming
from the butchers, much less should they
be left in paper over night or when put
away in the Ice box. A large-sized sheet
of paper will absorb half of the juice of
a good steak If it has the opportunity.
and thus destroy the most delicate and
relishable portion of it. One h~ousekeeper
has a covered china dish that she sends
to the market. and in this meats are
placed. When she requires a large
lined preserving kettle with a rack in
the bottom and a piece Of ice underneath.
Of course this is not necessary in very
cold weather, but during fall and
spring people do not realize that meats
deteriorate very rapidly upon exposure to
the air. The temperature Is so much
cooler for them that they forget that
chemical changes take place quickly even
in moderately cool weather. A market
is excellent for meats. An ordinary COW
