Prof. G. H. Pepper, an archaeologist
Of renown, who has been excavating in
southern Colorado has discovered an
ancient Indian city with an area of 400
square miles and evidences that it
was once inhabited by about 100000
people. The professors announcement
will probably bring tears to numerous
aldermen of our larger cities as they
realize what field for franchises they
would have had if they could have but
lived in that prehistoric town.

If | were only Santa Claus,
And Santa Claus was me,
I'd show to him just what a good
Old Santa I'd be.
I'd always bring the kind OF toys
And story books for him;
I'd find his stocking ev'ry year,
And fill it to the brim.
This year I'd bring a book or so
On how we conquered Spain,
Or how boy pursued his foe
Across the Klondyke plain.
And boxing g.oves-and, say, I guess
A pistol would be fine

The demand for rapid transit along
the canals of Venice bids fair to run
the picturesque gondolier out OF busi-
ness. The present tariffs are fairly
low. but the service is slow. and to
make speed one must pay double fare
for an additional boatman. The ques-
tion of running electric launches is be-
ing strongly agitated. the swift. clean.
noiseless service seen at the Worlds
Fair at Chicago being cited in evidence
OF what can be done, and 1t is likely
that syndicate will be formed TO de-

An officer of the United States life
saving service declares that its eff
cheney is chiefly due to the fact that
fitness and merit have always governed
the selection OF Its agents. On the
other hand. 1t is clear that place seek
ers shrink from entering a department
where achievement and heroism are
the rule. Even the thought OF pay day
is not alluring enough to bring assent
to the endurance Of hardship and peril.
Thus the merit system has an easier
opportunity to exercise Its beneficial
Influence among the life-savers than
in some safer spheres Of the public
service. It is none the less credltable
to the government that spoilsmen are
not allowed to use the life saving bu-
reau for political purposes.
