something Ior Syuney TO Laugh At.
Sydney is chuckling over the story
Of the wife Of an Australian politician
who, being much interested in such
institutions, was invited with her hus-
band and a party to visit one of the
big London hospitals. They were also
asked by their friend-a gentleman
great in shipping circles-to meet the
Princess Christian. On arrival at the
hospital the wife of the politician saw
a lady of dignifed proportions. whom
she understood to be the matron. She
spoke very gr%aciously to her of the
fine place she managed. The supposed
matron asked If the Australian lady
would bring her husband and intro
duce him, as she would be so delighted
to meet an Austrian minister of the
crown Very %graciously the request
was acceded to, Sir Dash Blank being
presented to "the matron Of this fine
hospital" On leaving the institution
the politicians wife remarked to the
chipping owner, ct is a wonder we
have not met the Princess Christian;
I see Il carriage at the gate with the
servants in royal liveries.' You've
not only seen her royal highness, but
you've talked to her for half an hour,
and presented your husband to her."
said the shipping man. with an amused
smile.

In this year of grace 1901 the doom
of the mosquito has been pronounced,
and it is declared by the human race
that this pest must go. 1t is one
thing, however. to proclaim and an
other thing to compel. Although as
members of the human race we must
sympathize with its efforts to extermi-
nate the mosquito, and confidently ex-
pect that our side will win, we must
express our admiration for the per-
sistent and relentless hardihood of the
foe. He is evidently possessed of a
courage which was once called SPLEEN
did, but which is now 90 common that
we may some day find it even in the
heart of a June bug. But it is. never
theless. true that the mosquito must
go.-Harper's. Weekly.

The Paris-Bordeaux motor a race
held on Wednesday reduced the record
for the 34S miles by nearly three
hours. NJ. Fourier, the winner, who
left Paris at 4:25 a. m. on a sixty
horse power Mors car. covered the dis
lance in six hours seven minutes and
forty-four seconds net" time-two
hours and t~hirty-seven minutes being
deducted for passing through towns
and villages. where the speed is re-
stricted to twelve kilometers an hour
which gives IN average speed Of 56A
miles an hour, and three other COM
petitors. all driving Panhard cars. av-
eraged more than forty miles an
hour. NJ. Fourier, in an interview
published recently in the Daily Mail,
stated that his maximum speed was
two kilometers a minute, and admitted
that the excitement and strain were
intense. But 1t is worthy of note that
although sixty-four cars took part in
the contests, not a single serious ac-
cident occurred.-London Spectator.

Many young ladies have found ii
necessary to improve, or rather to al
tar. the spelling of the names with
which they were originally blessed.
Mabel becomes Mabelle, Jessie be-
comes Jessica, Mary becomes Marie,
and so forth. A brother lately re-
ceived a letter from his young sister
at a fashionable boarding school. 1t
was signed Jessica. He answered;
Dear Sister Jessica:-Your welcome
letter received. Papaica and NAM
maica are well. Aunt Maryca and
Uncle Georgia. started for Glasgowica
yesterday. | have bought a new horse.
You ought to see 1t; it's a beauty. It's

An alphabet luncheon is one of the
late novelties in entertaining. Dur
ing the service of each course every
sentence spoken must begin with the
initial letter Of the course. Thus with
soup, all sentences must have 50 as
the first letter; with fish, "F" alone
can be used, and it is the duty OF
every person to call STOP" when any,
one begins with the wrong letter A
score is kept and a prize given to the

Welded LIFE IN SUMATRA.
Care of the Boys of n Family Given to
Their Father.

Their Father.
The marriage customs Of Sumatra
are quaint in the extreme and yet
neither sex seems to desire a change.
The women certainly a little to
complain of. The husband is COM
PEELED to settle a marriage portion on
his wife before the nuptials are cele-
brated and. though he may subse-
quentiv get a separation from her. he
can neither ALLEVIATE this portion nor
touch any of the property she may
have brought into the marriage con-
tract. Husbands and wives live in
separate houses. the former visiting
the latter every evening. II there are
children, the boys only live with their
mother until their fourth birthday,
when they take up residence with
their father. The girls remain with
their mother until they marry, which
they do at an early age. when they
remove to a small house close to the
maternal dwelling, says Home Notes.
When n becomes a widow she
plants a flagstaff at her door. from
which a flag flies. That flag is of i'm
p%ortance in the widows fate, for so
long as it remains uniform by the winds
she is compelled by etiquette to re-
main unmarried. When the first little
rent in the flag appears-and it may be
most minute-she is free to accept the
first sutton who offers.

STAND UP FOR THE UNIVERSITY

The people of Wyoming should stand
up for the state and her institutions.
On every occasion they should chal-
lence criticism and refute SANDER. II
wrongs creep in they should be treat
ed with the same charity the people of
other states would ask and righted
with firmness. Too many of our peo-
pie believe the institutions of other
states are superior to those of Wyo-
ming and without proper investigation
hasten to condemn that which they
should extol..
Perhaps this Is true to a greater ex-
tent in our public school system than
elsewhere and a large number of our
boyn and girls are sent abroad every
yer to institutions OF learning that do
not compare with our own university.
Various excuses are given for this &C
ton on the part of the parents. Some
say our altitude is too great, others
thu a better moral and social atmos
ph6fe surrounds the colleges of other
stGbes. and still others call the moral
~ OF the Gem City in question.
Tkey r all wrong, and The Repub-
lic1aH is decidedly Of the opinion that
thsfe must be some other reason at
the bottom Of the entire matter. We
wou1d rather believe there is a deep
rooted prejudice in the minds of some
nea and women and that they are
wdfking against the university. subtly
poisoning the minds OF the youth al
NEST from the time they enter the
prtMary departments with the teach
ine that other institutions Of learning
in the east and in Colorado are bet.
tot than own university. and par
eaSs are prevailed upon to accede to
tn wishes Of the children.
he altitude proposition is a fake.
Or boys and girls are as healthy and
strong as those Of any state in the ma.
ten, and the death rate is Laramie is
20 small that it is unparalleled. Nor
ally Laramie Is the peer of any city Of
IT. size. Gambling is absolutely pro-
hiblted. the saloons are restricted and
haxdy- houses give no annoyance to
the people.
One great reason why the boys and
girls Of Wyoming should be educated
ut home Is overlooked by those who
patronize the colleges of Colorado and
the east, and that is the fact that the
students of the university will some
day have control OF the affairs Of
staAe. The friendships formed at col
lege cling to students through all their
liv2sl and 1t ia a grand thing for a
young man or young woman to be in
touch with the people of the state in
which they live. The social ties form
ed ut the University Of Wyoming are
already being felt in the common
wealth and parents who are not far
seeing enough to recognize the great
benefits to be derived from educating
their children here will some day have
reason to regret it.
The public schools Of Wyoming
should stand shoulder to shoulder in
their work for the university. From
the time the little tots enter the pri-
mary departments till they are ready
for the highest institution Of learning,
tney. should be constantly encouraged
In the ambition to graduate there
from.
Patriotism and state pride should be
taught in our public schools.
