him again after seven years at the

had suggested and settled the details
of our trip on the river. 1t was to be
on June Is, and we were to have had
a long, healthy, eXhilarating day, with
plenty OF hard exercise and a long
chat about old times.
The day came and l was in a river
rig at the boathouse agreed upon half
an hour earlier than we had mutually
fixed. But Fry did moi come. l know
of nothing more irritating than to
have to hang about for another fellow
to turn up when one is alone like that.
At last | got a note by his servant.
His excuse for not coming seemed to
me a flimsy one. His wife's father had
fixed a sudden meeting of family trus-
tees, and afterward he had to see his
sister on business of consequence re-
lating to a trust. However, whether
it was an excuse or whether it was a
reason, he was not coming with me for
our projected river trip-that was
clear. 1t was annoying, but l trust l

says.
The following letter has Dee re
ceived from Governor DeForest Rich
ards of Wyoming, on the political sit
uation in hat state. The letter vas
written since Governor Roosevelt COM
pleted his wonderful campaign our of
the state. 1t is of interest because it
plainly shows the trend of public SEN
timent since the campaign of 1896. He
says:
We expect to carry the State of
Wyoming for Mckinley and Roosevelt
in November by a large majority.
Four years 6 the electoral vote went
for Bryan. Two years ago |, together
with the entire state ticket, c~anvassed
the state, squarely drawing the issue
between the gold standard and free
silver; and. after a most determined
campaign, we carried the state and
broke the backbone of the free silver
movement in the Rocky mountain sec
ton of our country.
The effect of our victory two
years ago has been felt to a marked
degree by our %neighbors. | conf

Washington will change their vote

Elwood Hofer, who has made a liv-
ing for many years as a guide and
hunter in Yellowstone park, has gone
to Kadiak island, in the Gulf of Alas
ka, on a difficult errand. He has been
commissioned by the Smithsonian in
stitution to capture one of the mon
ster bears which live on the above
named island, none of which has ever
been taken alive. The animals are of
the polar variety, perfectly white, and
when full grown are twice as large
as the ordinary black bear of the
Rocky mour tains. The average Kad-

A glance at the democratic legisla-
tive ticket reminds II of the legis-
lature of 1898. Albany county had a
delegation that year which did moth
ing from one enc of the session to the
other but try to elect a senator. Aside
from Messrs. Holiday and Dyer, they
knew absolutely nothing about law or
Legislative work. The candidates this
year are rated as good citizens, but
when it comes to Legislative work,
they are simply not in it with the old
barnacles" that have been nominated
by the republican party. Their bust
ness is making hay, not law.

The Boomerang's assault upon the
legislative nominees on The Republi,
can ticket is characteristic. 1t says
there are men on this portion of the
ticket who never amounted to any
thing and never will" To whom does
the Boomerang refer? Every man on
the republican legislative ticket is a
good and capable citizen, and all but
one Of them has rendered yeoman SER
vice in the state Legislature. At least
one man on the republican legislative
ticket carried the Boomerang when it
was almost bankrupt through the
hard times brought about by the folly
of its OWE party.

Many ore puzzled ty the fact that,

w;tlcrs Remainder" applies to the
prese.S year, YET 1900 is not leap
year. Janss Caesar is responsible for
the va,lati;r. Finding that the solar
'.yea," occupied about 365s days, he
decided that it would be better to add
sn ontire day to the year in every
fNurth revolution If the earth around
the SIN, but as tho "quarter" day was
aop:c slmate, being actually five hours
ala little less than forty-nine min
utcs, there would be gain in the
course OF century of nearly day.
That being the case, he further Or
dained that in rider to prevent the
calendar year from getting too far
in advance of the solar all occasional
leap year should be "skippcd," and it
is 1900's turn.

YOU are, in bringing up your baby on
the bottle" was the advice given
young mother the other day by Mrs.
NJ. c. Dunphy, the superintendent Of
Randall's Island, New York City.
The young mother, the wife OF a
well-to-do Harlem tradesman, had
gone over to the island to find out how
milk and milk bottles and nursing nip
ples were really stcrilized. She had
read in the papers and the magazines
hundreds of, directions, and none OF
rections were not worded plainly. Her
three e-mcnths'- baby was not thriy-.
ing, and she very wisely determinedto
have somebody show her exactly how
to sterilize milk ard bottle and nurs-
ing nipples. j. ~
Like hundreds of other would-be
scientific mothers, this one had been
"sterilizing'' milk by simply immcrs-
ing the bottles in water and allowing
them to remain until the water REACHED
the boiling point, and as matter Of
fact the milk was thereby rendered
even more dangerous than before 1t
had been sterilized.
The mother was then shown by sim
plified process how she could prepare
her baby's milk at home with the JOY
full certainty that after sterilizing 1t
was absolutely pure and germ proof
