The present state administration

~ y
The present state administration
has resorted to very cheap tricks
to conceal the real cause Of the
loss Of over 4ooo acres OF really
valuable white pine land to the
state institutions. OF I6, 900 acres
the portion lost included nearly
three-fourths Of the white pine
stumpage, according to private re-
ports Of cruisers. The loss in
acres does not represent the loss to
the state, that is to charge to the
economic policy of the present
state administration. by the Sc
lection Of these homesteads in the
heart of the states holdings there
are no values left. The acreage,
after the timbered forties have b. en-
culled out, has no value left
Thousand. acre tracts Of the late
selections of state lands can be
pointed out that are absolutely
worthless. This fact is not uurea-
sonable when it is known that the
state agents, by neglect and mis-
takes, left the whole area in shape
that enabled citizens to select ali
the land that was worth locating
after private entry was permitted
at the land Office. What was
worthless to the Individual was re-
tanned by the state. This eco
nomic administration is now tr, ine
to deceive the public into the belle
that something has been saved b,
the buster of these incompeten
agents. They have saved only
what the settlers did not believe t.
be worth locating at the time til,
various townships were opened t
settlement. The states prio
rights were allowed to lapse b,
error or neglect of the states i'm
potent servants.

voters in that state are disfran-
chised by the democratic victory
which carried with it the passage
Of a constitutional amendment to
that effect. The democratic orator
who is busy shedding tears over
the alleged government of the Fill
ipino without his consent will do
well to consider the ways Of de-
mocracy in its nature heath. The
Acknowledgement Of the negro is
accomplished by subterfuge in this
case. The new constitutional
amendment prohibits the ballot
to all who can not read. except
those who are direct descendants
of ancestors who voted prior to
1867, a date earlier than the era OF
negro suffrage.

CHILDREN'S IMAGININGS.
Strange Notions That Sometimes Get
Into the Juvenile Head.

There is a time in a child's life
when his Imagination becomes cosmic,
and deals, according to his tempera-
ment, luridly and terribly or genially
and grotesquely with vast subjects.
There was once a boy, says the Bos-
ton Transcript, who, at the age Of
about eight or ten years, lay awake
nearly all one night trying to think
what it would be like if there were no
world-if there was nothing at all.
He thrashed in bed from side to side,
getting rid of himself, resolving the
world to globes, to vapor, to point
and at last he succeeded in making
the point vanish; and then he uttered
an awful and bloodcurdling scream,
and his mother came running, and
the world was restored. 1t took the
boy long time to get over this ex-
pertinent; perhaps he has never en-
tirely got over it.
This boy is now a man, and has
boy of his own who is seven years old.
The other day the father was lit
tie surprised by having his boy ask
him: "Papa, what would it be like
if there wasn't any world?" And as
the boy is of genial and happy tenn
permanent, and never has been allowed
to let his mind roll on such awful sub
jects as were the childish pabulum
Of the father-damnation and the
dead and such things-the father did
not worry about any midnight visions.
But something did happen-only it
wasn't that. An evening or two later
the boy and his smaller sister, lying
in separate beds in one room, were
heard to be conversing cheerfully
rather long time after they had gone
to bed, and the father went up and
asked them what they were talking
about. The boy answered:
1--WE were talking about how nice
it would be if there were two worlds
that had a chain running between
them, and the monkeys on one world
came over on the chain and played
with the monkeys on the other
wOrldp
The father in his mind made note
of the fact that this was a fancy of a
sort that had never occurred to him
in the whole course of his minds cos

HOUSE PLANTS.

My little window tropics. set with palm,
With bright geranium and cactus rare,
And frail exotlcs from warmer air,
That mock our Northern winter with your
balm,
And smile at storms that spare your in
door calml
You breathe OF summer, though the
trees are bare,
glare,
And winds arc hoarse from their loud
swelling psalm.
In little here you bring the sunny South,
Where all the year the grass waves in
the field
And on the bough the orange-blossom
clings.
The sunbeams are the words upon your
mouth,
BY which the law OF beauty Is revealed.
That summer still Is at the heart of
things.

A MUSICAL PRODIGY.
How Elbridge T. Gerry Helped Insts ad
of HaIming Him

Elbridge T. Gerry's fixed convic-
tion that the use of children as public
entertainers is ruinous to their moral
and physical being has resulted in
much benefit for talented youngsters
and in a deluge of abuse for their pro-
tectors. Several years ago he called
in the aid of the law to prevent the
performances of child pianist. The
child was admitted by all qualified to
Judge to be marvelously talented, and
as the young prodigy seemed to be
well cared for the outcry against the
society was long and loud. But Mr..
Gerry never finched, and the law up
held him. Shortly afterward the
child was taken to Europe, and the
episode faded from the public mind.
Ten years later the same pianist re-
appeared, now in the yigor Of youth.
His musical gifts had been developed
under the guidance of the most ac-
complished foreign instructors. The
public wondered and admired, but
few knew that the musician owed the
training in his art to the generosity
Of the man who had restrained him
from concert playing ten years before.

IL have seep thousands Of persons

and never yet have l seen one display
the slightest fear Of DEATH" This re-
markable statement was made the 9TH
er doy by physician who has prac-
ticed many years in Philadelphia and
who has seen n great deal Of hospital
service.
1T Is popular fallacy," he went on,
ito imagine that a deathbed scene is
ever terrible other than as n parting
between loved ones. The fear Of the
unknown is never present at the last.
Even amid ignorance and vice l have
never experienced such scenes as q
novelist who strives after realism will
sometimes picture.
when n patient is told that he can
not recover and the end is near, he In
variably seems resigned to his fate.
and his only thought seems to be of
those who are to be left behind. This
is true alike Of men and women.
"Those who become hysterical and
declare they are not fit to die are the
ones who are not as i'll as they think
they are. They always get well.

know that there is any. It's just hu-
man trait."-Philadelphia Record.
