Catastrophe.

Forty Cents Almost the Cause OF o
Catastrophe.
Before Mrs. BROMLEY was married
she scoffed at the misguided girls and
women who kept personal accounts.
Her argument was that if you know
how much money you had and it was
all gone what was the use Of piling on
the anguish by having your folly and
extravaganza in black and white to
stare you in the face, especially as you
had no more money at the end of the
month than you had without an ae-
count book?
But since she has been running q
house She has achieved not one but
nearly a dozen account books. There
is one devoted to the grocery man, an
other to the butcher, personal accounts
take third, and so on till she spends
nearly all her glad young life balanc-
ing sums. 1t is matter of pride with
her that they shall come out even, and
SO there was woe last month when 40
cents refused to be accounted for. She
and Mr.. Bromley had grave and
3E12XtuJ OlSCuSSlOu ONSA IuCs bhASSAhS ~
Each accused the other Of frlvoling the
sum away and neglecting to enter it on
the proper book, '.Sundrins." Mr..
Bromley insisted strenuously he was
not guilty. Mrs. Bromley looked pain
ed and urged him to confess. He left
for down town vowing vengeance. It
was late that afternoon when Mrs.
Bromley was entertaining a roomful Of
artstocratic callers that a telegraph boy
appeared. The maid brought in, the
fatal yellow envelope, and at once the
bride knew her husband had been ia
tally injured and was sending for her.
Some one revived her with smelling
salts. a lady in purple velvet famed
her with q hastily snatched lamp
shade, and third visitor with more
presence OF mind than the rest opened
the telegram. The message read:

| There Are Six States Each With Less
Population Than Oklahoma.
Ten years ago the census enumera-
tors found 61.394 persons in Oklahoma.
This year they found there popula-
ton Of 39S.245. It's the record growth
Of the decade. 1t puts Oklahoma at
the head Of the organized territories.
That's not all There are six states Of
the Union--two old states and four
young states-not one Of which can
match inhabitants with Oklahoma.
says the Hartford Courant. If Okla
homa were state, it would be sending
two members instead of it's one dele
gate to the house Of representatives.
Contemplating the CENSUS figures, the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat remarks:
"a few of the states almost doubled
in the decade. Idaho, for example,
made an increase of 90 per cent and
Montana one Of "a per cent. But Okla
homa did UNNECESSARILY better than
any other community in the United
States. 1t has much more than sextu-
pied in population in the past ten
years Moreover. the gain has been
solid. Its increase in business has
been greater than it's growth in inhab-
ltants. The schools and churches have
kept pace with the increase in its in
dustries and general activities. Appar-
emily the territory is growing as rapid
~ now as at any time in the decade.
To be sure. this rate of increase cannot
be kept up indefinitely. But it seems
safe to predict that Oklahoma will
have 100000 or 100000 population by
1910"
It seems safe to predict also that
long before 1910 Oklahoma will be
state Of the Union. A bill for its ad
mission will be introduced and pushed
this coming winter. All the chances
are that it will go through II the

SENATOR Orville H. Plat. of Con
necticut, author of the Plat am end
ment, said in an interview:
| rThe real essence of the PROPOSE
tions of this government is that the
Cubans recognize the right of the
United States to maintain the indie
pendence of Cuba and the stability
of it's government. That right once
recognized by TIE Cuba constitution;
there will be- no trouble about the en-
forcement. All will be plain sailing.
"The newspaper reports from Ha-
vana nave been very conflicting. A
few days ago the Plat amendment
was reported rejected by the consti-
tutional convention by vote of "a
to 2 A little later the vote was given
as 19 to 10. As matter Of fact, final
action has not been taken.
"Very little interest is manifested
in Cuba in the convention. Many
people have never heard of it. The
property owners took very little
interest in the election of delegates,
believing that the United States
government would protect them and
their property, The colored popu-
lation is largely represented in the
convention. Many of them have no
interests at stake. Some of them
fought in the revolution and some of
them are mere adventures. Some
of them seem to think thai now the

session.
yet one-third of the members of
the convention are friendly to the
United States, and appreciate what
we haYe done and what we intend to
do for Cuba; another third is hostile
to America and the rest are indiffer-
ent. It is the hostile element that is
making all the noise and pretending
that the Americans vans their gov
ernment. |
= two of the most important ele-l
ments of the population favor theI
proposition of our government and
rely upon the assurances of our gov

owners and the working class. The

vince them that they should not do

Not only was the legislature active
and effective in its manner of pro
cedure, but it was notably free from
lobby influences. Railroad, tele
graph, telephone and express com
panies, as we'll as other corporations
found themselves being forced into
line on new and increased rates Of
taxation, and, from all that could be
seen, made no great resistance. The
express company's gross earnings tax
/ was increased from 3 to 6 per cent,
and there was comparatively little
opposition to the bill. The gross
earnings tax of railroads was ordered
increased subject to the vote of the
people from 3 to 4 per cent. Many
members, of the house, particularly,
thought this matter should be refer
red to the tax commission. and SO
voted by a majority, but when the
passage of the bill was insisted upon
by its friends the bill was passed.
The senate did not even consider the
reference to the commission but
passed the bill with practically no
opposition. Whether the law is
good one or not; whether it is consti-
tutional or not. it was perfectly clear
that the people wanted a chance to
vote on it, and the legislature heed d
the voice of the people.
The session of 1901 passed more
good bills and killed more bad ones
than any session in the history of the
state. It elected two of the ablest
men in Minnesota to represent the
state in the United States senate. It
reduced the term of it's own service
by twelve days, which means saving
of probably $4,000 unless it is found
necessary to call an extra session. It

Excellent progress is making over
the country pretty generally in effect

appears more hopeful than on the
opening of any previous season. There
is not the speed of progress we might
wish: but the average person moves
slowly where his immediate personal
interests are not concerned. The most
important two questions before the
country are Cd to stop the killing of
game during it's breeding season, and
Cd to provide refugees where it may at

wisconsin shooters are petitioning
their legislature to repeal the state law
prohibiting spring shooting! This helps
to explain other remarkable exhibit
tions with which Wisconsin has pro-
Vided us. Montana has a new game
law, which, among other excellent pro-
visions, forbids the killing of COW elk
and limites the daily bird bag to twenty
of any species. Missouri has a new
and much improved law. Maine has
wisely repealed the law which per-
mitted one deer to be killed in Septem-
ber for food.
Washington has made a three year
close season on it's quail and has linn
tied the bird bag to fifteen a day, ex-
cept ducks, of which twenty-five may
be killed. The California legislature
has just passed a law which has long
been needed in the Golden state. where
bird slaughter has been carried on
without cessation for so long that ii is
wonder any birds remain. The new
law forbids any one to kill or have
in possession at one time more than
twenty-five birds or fifty ducks. That
is generous enough-in all conscience.
The Californian is generous to a fault.
A spring law is still needed, however.

Wrestling.

Martin Julian. the manager of Nour-
olah, the big Turkish wrestler. is eX-
tremely anxious to have his Oriental
phenom meet Ernest Roeber All
patrons of the game are eagerly anti
cipating a match between the two. al
though there does not seem to be much
possibility that an encounter would
not be of the same farcical nature as
the bout between Roeber and Yousouf
which resolved itself iEto chase
around the mat, with the Turk making
strenuous efforts to throw the German
out of the ring.
Roeber is beyond doubt the more
skilled man of the two, but the Turk
has been aptly described as noun
tain of flesh and his wrestling tactics
seem to generally consist in merely
falling upon his opponent and after
passively crushing him into submis-
sive state. securing an easy fall.
Nourolah is so big that he casts into
the shadow even the late Yousouf, and
overshadows all American wrestlers as
the behemoth of Scripture towers over
the modern elephant.
