Governor Van SAINT was requested
TO attend and deliver an address at
the Farmers institute held at Still
water Wednesday. His talk was en-
pertaining and logical, and in his
remarks he dwelt briefly upon the
proposed primary election law now
being considered by the legislature,
He unqualifedly placed him
self on the side Of the bill, as being a
measure for promoting purity in.
politics, and stated that he would
promptly sign the bill if given an.
opportunity. The sentiment Of the
people in this matter was shown by
the hearty and spontaneous applause
his remarks received from the five
hundred farmers present. The ex-
tension of this primary election law
was advanced by Governor Van SAINT
in his inaugural message, and if this
is enacted, to him will the credit, in
great measure, be due.

MICE QUICK TO LEARN.

So Says a Maine Man Who Finds
Them Interesting Pets.
Out on Forest avenue is a mouse
fancier whose residence, lest he lose
caste with his nhighbors, is withheld.
In pen he has half dozen or so or
binary field mice.
'@They are the most sociable pets
ever had" he remarked, land any one
of them will rise to attention as he
hears my step approach the pen. /
have had these young ones about six
months. They don't live long when
cooped up, and they will come freely
to my hand to eat or drink. Some of
them are so tame that they will climb
to my shoulder and display not the
slightest alarm at being touched. They
haven't acquired SO much faith in all
humanity, however, and have refused
to trust any one else so far.
while mice eat great deal for an
animal so small when food is abun-
dant, they can exist for surprising
long time with next to nothing. Any
one whose house has been invested
with mice and who had passed weary
weeks when everything that possibly
could serve as food was carefully I'M
der lock and key, finally calling to
service al active ferret, will appreciate
this fact. He is a mighty aggressive
and tireless forager after food, not
hesitating at walls or similar obstruc-
tons. through which he patiently
gnaws a path. AS test of persistence
in this line hung a basket of food
from the ceiling by a rope and after
a weeks fast placed a mouse at a hole
in the ceiling above the basket. He
descended some eight feet or more on
a slender cord and safely reached his
haven, later climbing up again.
''All Of my mice l have taken from
nests about the premises and notice
that they invariably seek shelter be-
low or behind something, never in so
q locality as almost any other
animal would select. For a nest pa
per, cloth or any soft material seems
to satisfy, and the exceeding fneness
with which it is chopped suggests some
mighty artistic work with their teeth"

'@The man who devotes his life to the

States will no doubt be great, though
it need hardly be expected but that
the disorganized bands of bandits
will require the presence of a police

now the case ever in some of our

1t has not yet been decided what
will be done with Aguinaldo, but if
we do not mistake the policy of the
American government, the answer to
the question depends largely upon
himself. It has not been the policy
OF this government to adopt any line
of policy more severe than the cir

HARD TO PURCHASE.
The Peculiar Red Ribbon of the
French Legion OF HOnOr.

The Peculiar Red Ribbon 0f the
French Legion OF HOnOr.
The peculiar red ribbon which mem,
bers of the Legion of Honor OF France
are entitled to wear is to be had in
New York at one establishment, which
is naturally sought out by Americans
honored with this decoration. But
they never have the satisfaction of get
ting the ribbon until the firm that has
the exclusive sale of 1t has received
official notice that the persons applying
have the rightSo display it.
II know it" said one OF the clerks
the other day to a would be purchaser
B OF the ribbon. II know that you are a
member Of the legion and have right
to buy the ribbon, because read your
name in the paper and know who you
are. But we have not received Official
notification Of your appointment and
you have not your diploma. So could
not sell you any of It.
I'VE had to make this rule first be-
cause the French government required
IT. of US when we received the agency
but we also realize the necessity Of it.
All kinds of persons who have no right
to this ribbon try TO get hold of 1t. All
of them pretend when they find that
we sell 1t only to persons entitled to
wear It either that they are members
of the legion or that they are buying II
on behalf Of persons who do belong to
the order. The ribbon is not like any
other, and we know that ii any OF this
ribbon Is bought in New York that It
comes from US. For that reason we are
particular to the extent of requiring
documentary proof from every appli
cant unless we have received official
notification Of his right to wear it."

GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS DE-
rlANDED in CANADA.

How suddenly new conditions may
advance question like government
ownership of railways from the stage
of academic discussion to that of a
blazing practical issue, has just now
been illustrated in the neighboring
country of Canada. Our people on
this side of the line, by the way,
make a mistake in failing to observe
more constantly and closely the
trends of Canadian policy and che
very intelligent and vigorous discus
sion of public affairs that goes on in
the Dominion Parliament at Ottawa,
and alsoin the provincial parliaments,
and the Canadian press. The whole
Dominion has been thrown into a
great discussion by the recent rail-
way consultations III the United
States. The foremost part in this
has been taken by the Hon. William
Findlay Maclean, editor and proprie-
tor of the Toronto World, for some
ten years past a member of the Do
minion Parliament. MIR. Maclean
declares that the railway movement
under the leadership of men like
Messrs. Pierpont Morgan; James J
Hill, Mr., Hartman, Mr.. Vanderbilt,
Mr.. George Gould, and others in the
United States, will not be content to
unity transportation interests on the
southern side of an artificial political
line across the continent, but will
naturally enough seek to assimilate
the Canadian Pacific and Grand
Trunk systems of Canada with the
other factors of a traffic system to
which these Canadian lines naturally
belong, Elaborate and pro.racted
debates have been going on in the
Parliament at Ottawa, and the news
papers from one end of Canada to
the other have taken up the theme.
It should be borne in mind that
Canada already has government
railroad, the Intercolonial system Of
about Zoo miles, the total railway
mileage of the Dominion being about
1900. There is pending proposal
favored by the Prime Minister, Sir
Wilfred Laurier, and the government
OF the day, to build an additional
national railway from Toronto to a /
point on the Georgian Bay. The
object Of this line is to provide an
outlet by way of the all Canadian St.
Lawrence route for the largest posi-
BILE amount Of the vast business that
is developing on the Great Lakes.
This proposition Mr.. Maclean strong
~ favors; but he deems it wholly in
sufficient for the protection Of Cana
dian interests. He advocates the
complete and immediate absorption
