FIND ANOTHER FUSION GRAFT
Onic inIs Who Drew the salary but Did
Not DO the work Expected
of Them.

LINCOLN, March 6.-(Special THE
manner in which the late fusion admins
tration tlched from the taxpayers and
gathered in the loaves and fishes is gradu-
ally coming to light. The latest discovery
is in the state auditing department, where
1t has been found that at least one man had
his name carried on the pay roll at 81 200
per year es county treasury examiner, but
devoted much, II not all, of his time to the
examination OF insurance companies, thus
not only drawing double pay, but neglecting
to do what he was paid for doing.
The law requires that county treasures
shall be examined at least every two years,
and the state auditor is empowered to ap-
point two individuals to perform that duty.
Investigation reveals the fact that this part
Of the public service during Auditor Cor
nel's last term was sadly neglected many
of the county treasures in the state not
having been examined in the last three
years, and the system having degenerated
into complete farce.
The secret of this neglect lies in the fact
that the examiners are paid salary of
81 200 per year, whether they work or not,
and as no fees are allowed and as fees OF
from 81 TO $40 per day and expenses are
allowed insurance examiners the recreant
officials found it more profitable to neglect
their specific duties and forage upon in
surance companies.
There Is documentary evidence in me
auditing derartment that one J. a. simpson,
who was county treasury examiner under
Auditor Cornell, drew his salary regularly
as such. yet neglected that part of his
duties, and devoted much OF his time to in
surance examination, for which he received
fees of from So to $40 per day and expenses

to show if you have an article of real merit
like Cascarets, advertise it properly and

Ancient and Modern Proverbs.

s3He who knows not, and knows not that
he knows not, is a fool; avoid him. He who
knows not, and knows that he knows not,
is simple; teach him. He who knows and

HIM. But he who knows and knows that he
knows, is wise man; follow him. From
the Arabian Proverbs.
He who travels by the New York Cen

reflection, Il washed my two children
and got them ready for school, and
sewed a button on Johnny's coat, and
mended a rent in Nellies dress. Then
l tidied up my sitting room and wa
tered my house plants and glanced
over the morning paper. Then l
busted my parlor and set things to
rights in it, and washed some lamp
chimneys and combed my baby's
hair and sewed button on one of her
little shoes, and then l swept out the
front entry, and brushed and put
away the children's Sunday clothes,
and wrote a note to Johnny's teacher,
asking her to excuse him for not be-
ing at school on Friday. Then l fed
my canary bird, and gave the grocery
man an order, and swept off the back
porch. and then 1 sat down and rest

struck 8. That's all."-New York

British ROYAL Succession,

In Great Britain the royal success
sion is in the direct line of de-
scent, males and the descendants of
males being preferred to females or
their descendants of the same degree
Of consanguinity. 1t would have made
no difference, therefore, If the Empress
Frederick of Germany, who is the
eldest of the children of the late Queen
Victoria, had remained unmarried; the
oldest male child of the queen, who
was the Prince of Wales, and the issue
of his body would nevertheless have
been the heirs to the throne. The older
daughter of Queen Victoria could have
succeeded only If all of her brothers
had died before their mother and
without leaving any descendants. The
German constitution makes the rank
and powers Of the Kaiser hereditary In
the royal house of Prussia. The rule
of succession in Prussia not only pre-
fers males (as does that of Grea,
Britain, but excludes females alto

The Desire for Gold Teeth.

Gold teeth are not, as a matter OF
fact, beautiful, but the dentists say
that many persons think SO. One such
person, a man of note in Philadelphia,
has lately flashed upon his startled
friends a solid row of six gold teeth.
They illuminate the front of his lower
jaw, and in sunlight. or under good
glare of gas, they certainly shine. A
dentist, in speaking of this man, said
yesterday: He came to me for the
job, and l advised him to have porce-
lain teeth inserted. These, l ex-
planned, can't be told from real ones,
and are as durable, if not as gold, at
least as the human life. But the man
would have nothing to do with porce-
lain. Well, SIR gaid then. you'll
have to go to some one else, for re-
fuse to make any persons mouth as
hideous as yours would be with six
gold teeth in the front of it. To some
one else he went, and now, when he
laughs, you look in on a gold mine -

|X~D@Wear

There are a number Of new designs
found among the stock collars.
Black and white will be the colors
pre-eminent for the spring and sum-
mer.
A very proper ring to wear with your
tailor-made suit is one large turquoise
set in gold without any jewels.
There are long closed unlined sleeves
made of the lace and interrupted at
the elbow by puffs of white tulle.
Both Empire and princess effects
will be conspicuous among evening
gowns formed of delicate or diaphan-
GUS fabrics.
Elton coats of silk are to be popular
this spring. They are generally tailor
made in effect, but corded or stitched
for decoration.
A clever idea just developed is the
belt and position back in one. made
of folded bands of satin, which is
easily removed to leave plain Elton
effect.
There will be few stiff cuffs and col
lars seen on the new shirt waist in
wash goods. The sleeve preferred is
scant bishop sleeve with embroid-
cred wristband. and the collar is mus
lin lined embroidery to match.
1t is authoritatively predicted that
separate skirts Of taffeta, deliberately
trimmed, will be extremely fashion
able. The favored style will be a
fiared fiounce, ornamented with lace,
ribbon or velvet ruchings and ruffies.
1t is said that the summer gown will
have elbow sleeves, SO that it will be
wise to buy literally at the many bar
gain sales of evening gloves that al
ways are held at this season. The ell
bow sleeve always means a return to
long gloves.

Those Amusing Little Girls.

Little girls always amuse me In the
way they have of aping grown wom-
en-" said an observer. 'They do it so
unconsciously, too. and that's what
makes them so funny. OF course. you
have seen little girls. whose dresses
scarcely reach to their knees, take
great pains to gather up their skirts
when they cross street. Not by any
possible chance could the hem of these
garments get within foot of the
pavement, and yet they seem TO do il
instipctively. 1t is the height of ilnita-
tive absurdity; and yet recall that
dear old George w. Childs used to do
the same thing with his coat-tails
when he crossed the street. He used
always to wear a black frock coat that
reached to his knees. Many a time
have seen him crossing a muddy
street, hopping laboriously on the heels
of his shoes and holding up his coat
tails much as a woman gathers hel
skirt about her. So when you come
to think of 1t in the light of compari
tive philosophy. the little girls are not
so absurd as they seem. And yet they
always make me laugh. "-Philadelphts

A NaturaIist's Bill of Fare.

In Mr.. Tuckwells recently published
"reminiscences of Oxford and of we'll
known Oxford men there is an amusing
account of Frank auckland, the natu-
ralist, who surrounded himself SO COM
pletely with the objects that most in
terested him as to make a visit to his
rooms at Oxford or to his house in
London a rather formidable affair. AT
breakfast his guests had to make their
way to the table amid monkeys,
chameleons, snakes and guinea pigs:
in other parts Of the house were to
be found eagles, jackals and pariah
dogs, upon which one stumbled unex-
pectedly; while in the little yard out
side the house was picketed a bear
Buckland's fondness for experiment
led him also to play strange culinary
tricks upon his guests, before whom he
set at different times such unusual
viands as kangaroo ham, horses
tongue, bison steaks and elephants
trunk. His brother-in-law used to
quote with glee from the diary of a
departing visitor this terse passage:

for breakfast" New York Evenine
