THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS.

THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS.
The holding of the National. Irriga-
ton Congress in the east, as it turned
out, was a wise move. The people OF
that half OF the country have had the
subject OF national Irrigation brought
Home to them in a manner not other-
wise possible. The far-reaching im-
portanee of the problem has been pre-
scented to them and a genuine interest
has been awakened. Instead OF find
ing opposition in the east, the congress
found that EASTERN men Of prominence
were more than interested in a propo-
sition which promised an increased
western population Of millions Of peo-
pie.
AS the aenemy's country" has been
invaded, the myth OF eastern opposi-
ton has faded away and its people are
found to be anxious TO zee inaugurated
a national policy Of western arid Land
reclamation. t
The western delegates went home
with the feeling that they have the
hearty support Of eastern interests in
securing action which will open to set
Element a half a continent, capable OF
supporting fifty million people. They
cannot but feel that this support As
growing; that it is developing into a

TRUSTEES PASS UPON THEIR BIZ
ENNIAL REPORT 70 THE Gov

ENNlAL REPORT TO THE Gov
ERNoR-WoRK BEING DONE.
The p~enitentiary trustees met Sat
.urday and passed upon their report to
the governor. The report OF the war
den and trustees shows greater
amount of work accomplished and adj
ditions made to the permanent build
ings at the en5than in any like period
since the institution was established.
The entire tWine plant has been
erected and Installed since the last
meeting of the legislature, and in adj
.dition warehouses have been built and
a good beginning made upon the yard
wall, which has been raised along the
west and part of the south side OF the
prison grounds. The stone founda-
tion has also been laid for consider
able additional distance and the wall
is as well an ornament as a necessary
protection against the escape of con-
yicts. Another year will see the wall
completed and this will give much adj
dItional room within the prison
grounds.
Foundations are being laid for a
large new irvine warehouse to be
erected as soon as spring opens. This
will be necessary for the storage of
the product OF the Irvine plant.
The Irvine plant has been shut down
for several months but work will be
resumed about the middle Of this
month. This will give an opportun-
ity for members Of the Legislature to
see what is being done at the institu-
tion in @the way Of manufacturing.
Winter preparations have been made
about the plant, the pipes wrapped,
and the interior OF the factory build
ings painted and improved in appear
anee.
Another considerable improvement
that has been made is in the exterior
OF the main prison building which has
been repainted, worn bricks replaced
and the entire aspect improved and
made whole--at it were.
The yard wall on the west side Of
the institution has been so begun as
to leave ROOF for the erection OF an
addition to the cell block. which will
be necessary in few years. AIT pres

A typical instance of the effect of a
pension on longevity comes from Lu
ton, where the death has occurred of a
man in his SOth year, who enjoyed for
over half a century an annual allow
ance from the war Office. He was born
IN 1918, in Canada, where his father
was soldier, and at the age of s be-
came drummer boy, subsequently
bioSsoming into a full-blown private
OF loot regiment. He never did any
lighting, and retired at the age of 80,
with a pension, on account of i'll
health. A few years later he joined
the Bedford constabulary, and attained
to the rank of sergeant, subsequently
becoming an instructor OF fife-and drum
bands, and holding the post of drum
major in the Luton volunteers.

Physic Street, Canton. China.

Canton possesses the queerest street
IN the world, in spite of the fact that
IN nearly all the big towns in China
there are some remarkable streets. The
chlet thing Of interest attaching to this
eccentric thoroughfars is the fact that
1t IS rooted in with glazed paper fast
ened on bamboo and contains more
slgnboards to the square foot than any
other street in any other country. The
next interesting fact about this Can
ton byway is that, though a business
street, it contains no other shops but
those OF apothecaries and dentists par
lors; no professional men but doctors.
1t is a sick mans paradise and Chi
nese PHYSICIANS Klondike. They call

Conan Doyle's Marriage Max,ms.

In his latest novel, ga Duet" Conan
Doyle lays down some "Maxims for the
Married" that are worth framing and
hanging over the mantle piece in every
new home. Here are few Of them:
Never both be cross at the same time.
Wait your turn.
You were gentleman and lady before
you were husband and wife. Don't
forget it. A blind love is foolish
love. Encourage the best.
If you take liberties be prepared to
give them. There is only one thing
worse than quarrels in public. That is
caresses.
Money is not essential to happiness,
but happy people usually have enough.
So save some.
The easiest way of saving is to do
without things.
If you can't, then you had better do
without wife.
The man who respects his wife does
not turn her into a mendicant. Give
her purse of her own.-Washingto
Post,

King Alfonso's Spirit of Fun.

The young King Of Spain seems to
have inherited his mothers cheerful
temperament and to have a spirit Of
fun which even-and this is saying
much - Spanish etiquette cannot
quench. The following story is being
told Of his majesty: The little king
had been reading out to his tutor a
sentence in the words, "She possessed
In the highest degree the distinguished
manner of grace and speech inherent
in princesses," and to his tutor s
amazement remarked: "That writer
didn't know much about courts"
why do you say that, sirT
well, look at that pair Of prin-
cesses."
One of his royal sisters, evidently
dreadfully hot and sleepy, was sprawl
ing over her desk in a very degage at
titude, while the other, apparently un-
able to solve a difficult problem, was
absently rubbing her eyes and looking
dazed meanwhile. His majesty tugged
the hair Of one arg pinched the arm
of another princess, evoking some
very strong and familiar terms Of Sis
terly reprobation.
"There are distinguished manners
and grace of speech for your he eX-
claimed, regarding triumphantly the

PUMA SHOWS ITS GRATITUDE.
Big Cat Amazes Its Keeper by an Ex-
hibition of Friendship,


hibition of Friendship,
Keeper Mullen is constantly exposed
TO the wild beasts in the zoo in giving
them their food and in cleaning their
cages. Last week he was engaged in
the pleasant occupation of Frightening
the outside apartment of large puma.
For reasons Of his own he has always
been IN the habit of permitting the ami
mails to roam in the inside cage while
he cleaned the outside one. But this
time he somehow forgot to lock the
door, and the puma walked out upon
him.
There was brief pause, during which
time Mr.. Mullen hastily reviewed his
past life. The puma stood in the door
way blinking at the light and blocking
up the only means Of escape All around
were the hard iron bars of the cage
The puma, waving it's long catlike tail
slowly approached, and Mr.. Mullen
brought his broom to a position which

ed every moment to feel its sharp fongs

animal, he began bluffing, too. acting as
II it were the most natural thing in the
world that he should be patting the
puma's head. He tried to make the
animal feel how much he was enioyino
1t, and the result was that they were
soon romping on the ground together
like two friendly children.
This Is the eXplana ton of it: Keeper
Mullen had removed a tumor from the
side OF the puma. The operation was
performed by the aid of catgut and took
some time. The puma suffered a great
deal with it and seemed relieved when
it was over
1t has shown great affection for its
keeper ever since, permitting him to
pat its head between the bars, but not
until he accidentally found himself in
the same lnclosure with it did the keeper
believe that he could ever enter it's cage
and come out unscathed.
Keeper Mullen naturally attributes
the display of affection to the operation
which he performed, and he says that
hereafter he will not be afraid to enter
the puma's cage any time he may see
fit. He knows that hereafter they will
be good friends.-Philadelph Times.
