Stati sites About Picnics.

Picnics date back to the time when
Madame Eve gave her first garden
party.
As a general thing, people who
go to picnics are so happy to GET
home that they are glad they went.
A man may be great in seversl
directions, but he can't hold pic
mic plate on his knees without sit
ting pigeon toed.
Picnics are not conducive to the
health of young ladies. In the lam
guage of the poet:
Tue girls are making dresses for
The coming first of May,
In which to catch bronchitis, or
what's worse, pneumonia.
Joan of Arc successfully led ar
army to victory, but could she have
gone to a picnic and not screamed
when grasshopper crawled dowI
her back?
Even at a picnic the average CIR
is aristocratic in her tastes. Fash
ion demands that a girl shall ge
wet sooner than hoist an umbrella
that does not match her suit.
The eatables are sure to ge
mixed up en- route to the grounds
The custard pie is scraped from tn
bosom Of the cold chicken, the COLI
tea is wrung out of the napkins
and the warm mellow lemonade
drunk with a grasshopper in it.

WHY NYE MADE A HIT.
One Of James Whitcomb RiIey's Quaint

James Whitcomb Riley tells 9

much like an Othello in his sun.

to him the application Of some
''liquid- white" a cosmetic much
affected by the gentler sex OF the
profession.
Nye sent for the preparation, and
never having used anything of the
kind before, he filled the palm of
his hand with it and carelessly

There was no mirror in his very
primitive dressing room, and Riley
was beautifying himself on the 9th

The "liquid-white" dries out
somewhat like white wash, and
when Nye appeared before the au.

His head looked like a frosted toE

white as the driven snow, was ex'

again he made his exit, and agair
was redemanded by the uproariou'
audience.
Believing he had made hit, ht

DISCUSSING THE CENSUS.
Recommendations by the American Econo-

1t More Economically and
Effectuallv.

New Haven, Conn, Dec 2S.-The re-
port of the committee on the scope and
method of the 18th census occupied the
attention of the American Economic
Association today. The committee con-
sisted of Professor Richmond Mayo
Smith, Walter F. Wilcox, Carroll d.
Wright, Professor Roland P. Falkner
and Davis r. Dewey. The report en-
bodied a large number of extracts from
essays submitted to the committee in
response to questions sent to leading
economists. The committee says:
"There is criticism not so much of the
accuracy of the census returns as treat
ment of data Gn the 18th census re-
ports) and lack of continuity from CEN
sus to census. Both defects we be-
lieve to be largely due to the INSULT
cient time allowed by law for prepar-
ing plans and schedules. Work on the
census is seriously impeded by the
number of Investigations ordered and
their variety; consequently fundamen-
tai inquiries cannot receive adequate
attention A number of subordinate in
ouiries might advantageously be trans
ferred to established bureaus of de-
partments equipped with expert agents
and some of which now publish several
volumes of kindred statements"

found carrying weapons and firing pro-
miscuously inside the city limits. Many
accidents occur in consequence, and
recently one Of our best citizens met his
death through the carelessness of a
small boy. The coal oil inspector office
should be abolished. There is no sense
in the territory fostering a trust. But
to return to Las Cruces: We have as
good a portion of the territory as any,

Buda Pesth, Dec. 2S.-The first of six
duels arranged between M. Horanszky,
member of the lower house Of the Hun
garian diet, and his seconds and the
seconds of Baron Banffy, the Hunga-
rian premier growing out Of still un-
settled dispute between the two prin-
cipals, took place today between Baron
Fejervary, minister of the national de-
fense and Count Karolya. Pistols were
the weapons. Baron Fejervary missed
his opponent, and the pistol of Count
Karolya missed fire. Later, Banffy's
second, Gajard, and Horanszky's sec
ond, Zemore, fought with swords. Ze-
more was cut on the head. After the
wound was bound up the duel was re-
sumed and Zemore was again severely
wounded in the head. The seconds then
stopped the fighting.
