Has Secured All Over Europe to HIra
 Soldiers.
 This is the first war Great Britain has fought against white enemies with out buying foreigners to fight for us, says 2 London paper Until less than 50 years ago, when we had war on hand we sent oil to Germany and all over Europe, 5age men , fight for Us. The men v..saged were most ly old soldiers, and were hired to fight until the war was fuished. In 1756 an invasion of Engl1rd was feared, SC 5000 Hessians were hired to come and defend these shores against the eW pected attack. These hirelings were paid at the British rate of pay, and foi every man of them killed their king was paid so much per head. Even against the American colonists Hes sian troops were employed. No wep- der our fellow -Englishmen were en- ragged at this shameless action. The iandgrave of Hesse was paid S3,355,- 600 i'll 3 per cent stock for the Hes sians lost in the war of independence This was the amount of $150 per man. The lrish webellio@ of 1798 was put down chiefly by Hessian hireiings, In the long struggle with Napoleon VIC freely hired foreigners, but the bulk of the work was done by British sol diers. Wellington found that he could not rely op his mercenary gangs too much In 1904 the Kings German 1e- zion" of 10000 men was formed. Two years later the force was increased by 5000 men. Besides Germans from all the petty states, there were also en- listed French rogalists expelled by Ma polpon, Corsieans, Greeks, Italians, Turks, Portuguese, Belgians, Hungart. ans and Swiss. At Waterloo, Welling. tons army of 670o0 was made up of only 22,000 British, and the rest were Dutch, Brunswickers, Hanoverians and NassaHmen. When peace came in 1874 there were no less than 29000 hired foreigners forming corps in the British army. The Crimean war was the last time Britain had to go a-hiring sol diers. Thirty thousand men had been sent to the Crimea and more were wanted. So the government went to parliament with bill authorizing the enlistment of 10000 Germans, 5000 Swiss and 5000 Italians, at British rates of pay.

The pIother Love.

It is given to few people to under stand the workings Of the child mind, and 1t is only by the exercise of pa- dence and the utmost sincerity that one can get to know the ideas and de- sires that are formed in the ever busy little brains. A pretty story was once told by Sir Edwin Arnold of three children of his acquaintance, whom he asked at their bed time. when about to say their prayers. If they would pray for what they wanted most. After the two eldest dad made their requests, the youngest, little girl, knelt down and, putting her hands together, said: Dear God, love me when am naugh- Ns like mamma"

roBocGANINo vN CANADA.
A Winter Sport That Is Greatly En~
 ioyed by All Glasses.

Tobogganing is one of the staple amusements in Canada Sportsmen are not content with the naturally formed "ehutes" down the side of hill but construct artificial slides. These are generally wooden creations with the planes fixed at an angle Of 45 de- grees3 and with a sheer drop of about 100 feet. Water is poured over the wooded declivity. which iE the frosty air is soon transformed into ice, with a surface as slippery as glass. When the bottom of the chute is reached the track extends over fields in as straight direction as possible, though in some cases net particularly level, but the momentum gained by the toboggan in living down the chute is sufficient to carry it over any slight uprisings in the ground. The Canadian toboggan is feet in length, and about 20 inches in width, composed of number of nar- row wooden strips secured longitudi- naliy together, curling upward at the front. 4 handrai1 sometimes extends along each side of the toboggan to en- able the passengers to hold on, but the general rule Is for one passenger to clasp the person seated next in front, the whole row of travellers being thus linked together for their rapid flight. Tn some cases there are five or six ocs eupants In one toboggan, and with such combined weight the siedge flies down the chute as if impelled from cannon. Both men and women enter into the sport with great gusto, for the fun is fast and furious. When there is only one traveller to the toboggan he lies prone upon it, and In this manner. on account of the small amount of re- sistance that is offered by the atmos- phere, the maximum of speed is gained. The chutes are properly controlled in order to avoid accidents. One tobog- gan Is not permitted to leave the sum. nit of the chute until the preceding one has cleared the bottom of the slide Occasionally, by some mischance in- cured through faulty manipulation of the toboggan, spill occurs on the chute and if following toboggan were to dash into the overturned vessel the result would be relatively quite as dis, astrous and terrible as collision be- tween express trains.

PORTO RICO,S sORROW.
Visiting La Dor Leaders Give a Gloomy
View of Our Possessions.

New York. Feb. 1S.-Iglisias and
Eduardo Condo, Porto Rican labor
leaders, who arrived here from that
island a few days ago, have issued an
appeal to this government on behalf
Of the Workingmen of Porto Rico.
The two delegates, who have estab-
Ished a headquarters in this city, de-
clare that the working class Of their
island have been reduced by reason Of
the war, the hurricane and the action
of this government since the storm, to
a condition of extreme restitution.
They declare that unless action is
taken riots will occur throughout the
island, as the poor are desperate from
their sufferings.
To get justice, say these delegates, is
laws practically result in the disfran-
chisement of the majority of the labor
ers. OF the 100000 inhabitants, $780, 900
are absolutely paupers through no fault
of their own.
The working men demand a radical
change in the government of the is
land. They ask that the following
ordinances Of Governor General Davis
by annulled;
THAT Iaborers on the public works
shall get no more than % cents per day
for hours work.
2-That only property holders and
taxpayers shall vote and those who can
read and write.
3@That the payment of 81 shall be
paid before a vote is cast.
The working men also ask that the
ordinance forbidding appeals from the
decisions OF tribunals be abrogated.
They also want a general market for
imports and better schools.

HERE IS A MIDDLE.
Change of Ward Boundaries Affects
Representative District.

The recent changes in the boundary
lines of the different wards of the city
and the proposed annexations to the
city, may enter into the representative
and commissioner fights in Shawnee
county in a way that will make trouble.
1t is a question whether the people who
have been changed from one ward to an
other in a different representative or
commissioner district shall vote in their
new district or in the old one.
For instance: The new Sixth ward is
made up of POtWin and LoWman Hill.
Heretofore Potwin has been in the
Thirty or country representa-
part of the Third ward, was in the
Thfrty-ninth district The question now
is are Lowman Hill and Potwin in the
same district or different ones? If in
the same district, which one is it?
Another instance: The Strip is at
present in the Thirty seventh district.
If it is taken into the city, as is pro-
posed, it will be part of the Fourth
ward, which is in the Thirty ninth dis
trict.
Metsker's third addition, lying east of
the Shunganunga on either side of
Eighth avenue, has heretofore been in
the Fifth ward, which is part of the
Thirty-ninth district Part of it is now
in the Second ward, which is a part Of
the Thirty eighth district.
These are the principal communities
affected, but there are sufficient votes
in them to affect the result of the pri-
commissioner districts are also similar
~ affected, but the commissioners can
remedy the trouble at any time by
making the district boundaries conform
with those of the wards.
City Attorney Bird is of the opinion
that the boundaries of the new wards
are also the boundaries of the represen-
tative districts.
said Mr.. Bird today, 'and 1 would not
want to give a definite opinion off hand
but it is my impression that the boun-
DIARIES as established by the city coun-
ell change the representative districts
also. The legislature said that the
Third, Fourth and Fifth wards should
comprise the Thirty ninth representa-
tive district. The city council has the
power to change the ward boundaries
The district would be composed of the
same wards afterwards as before but
the territory might be a little differ
emit"
e. D. McKeever. who represents the
Thirty-ninth district, believes that the
old boundaries remain until changed by
the legislature itself, and a number of
other attorneys believe the same thing
"A representative is a state officer, -
said Mr.. McKeeVer, and a city council
could not change a state officers dis
trict. Otherwise a city council might
be able to gerrymander a whole coun-
ty."
If this view is correct it will be nee
essary to establish separate voting pre-
cincts for each of the communities af-
fected, even if there are not more than
half a dozen votes in them. This will
also have to be done in the primaries
for the nomination of county officers.

When Fitzsimmons left the theater
after the performance an immense
