 little later published in the Journal and Courier and Register. It has been widely discussed. for three months past MT. Wallace is vigorous and original thinker, and I am sorry that he did not sooner give his attention to this mat ter.
 The evil is great and urgent, and thousands of our citizens are suffering for the relief that this bill will give. Let me offer new illustration to those who understand the steam engine. We propose to insure the observance of the existing law by the addition of a sim pie, automatic, self-adjusting attach ment, which may be called regulator. We apply the most simple principle of cause and effect on the ascertainment of present market value, instead of depending entirely on the fallible judg- ment of assessors and board of relief.
 It will be just to all but especially favorable to the taxpayer of small means who cannot afford to appeal to the Superior Court.

ELd2HEHN OF HOMO

| A great many people who haven't be-
 count and who don't believe in duelling think better of the little French count something that looks like pluck. He went and licked big editor who had
 offended him and then he challenged the big editor to fight duel. The sword is the little counts favorite
 weapon but the big editor chose .pis-
 tols. This didn't trouble the little
 count, or if it did he didn't let on.
 He calmly proceeded with the prepara-
 tons for the duel, stood calmly up at
 twenty-five paces from the big editor,
 was shot at without being hit and then
 calmly perforated the big editors thigh.
 Then he shook hands with the big edi-
 tor like a little gentleman and rode away from the field of honor with his honor at high water mark.
 Even a French duel with pistols isn't @ thing to be laughed at, and 1t re- quires nerve to make target of oneself at an early hour in the morning, or, in- deed, at any other time. So the little count will be called game" and it will also be confessed that the big editor played his part courageously. His honor is saved, and he has the evidence of it with him. The story of the affair as it now stands is stirring and proper ly dramatic. If no revision of 1t Is to come 1t will stand as an illustration of life as she is or can be lived in Paris at the beginning of the century.

spise? So of dancing and theatricals.
 You dance and you go to the theatre;
 why should not the workingman also?
 We have dancing classes and a drama tic society here at Oxford House. Our
 Communicants' Guild meets in the same room where we have our operet- tas and farces. Why shouldn't it? The finicky line is the secret of failure Here, thought I, was fine practieality. The head of Oxford House thought like wise. As soon as you insist on an arti- ficial, hyperethical code of behavior, he continued, you miss the very men you are after. You don't get the man from the ale house and the low resort: in- stead you get the respectable citizen. In other words, you bestow your benefac- tions where they are least needed, not where there are most needed"

Many queer things in Kansas. For instance, curious system of land sales exists in Ellis county. where large Russian colony is rapidly getting a monopoly of the soil. The price is fig ured in bushels of wheat instead of dol lars. and the contract of purchase Is a novel one. A man wishing to buy a piece of land agrees to give, say 5000 bushels of wheat for it. He agrees also to SOW given number of acres of the purchased land in wheat each year, Then he agrees to deliver half of this yearly crop to the land seller. No &C., count of the value of the wheat is taken at all If wheat goes to high figure in one year, the seller may make a big thing, or, if it is lower than usual. he may be out of pocket If no wheat is raised in given year, nothing is paid
The daily morning journal and courier., 1901-03-18

that year. No interest is charged, the
 seller simply being assured of getting f half Of the wheat which is raised on
 the land each year. The buyer may
 pay for the land in two or three years,
 or be might, by consecutive crop fail-
 ures. fail to get it clear for ten years.
 Thousands upon thousands of acres of
 land have been sold in Ellis county un-
 der this system during the past three
 years.
 1 The Kansas City Journal says of these people: Kansas has never known more unique settlement than these Russians of Ellis county They came in train-loads in 1S75-6, and since have been reinforced by new arrivals. The colony numbers perhaps 4,000 souls, They are frugal and industrious. They are Roman Catholics and must not be confounded with the Mennonites in the counties south. They shut their eyes anu NOle LHG DelIlOCTdllC tlCh6I III u fashion once described by profane though forcible writer as from h--l to breakfast" Their beverage is whisky straight. and often they use it during meals like tea or coffee. The men are great singers and the women work in the fields. As a rule they are happy and social people, and their wedding festivities are quaint and long drawn out. As whole they appear to have been made by the Lord for the special purpose of going out upon the somewhat doubtful plains of Kansas, there to demonstrate that riches may be accu- mulated by the cultivation of the soil. They are great on churches and have astonishingly large and costly ones i'll all their villages. And they possess the quality of assimilation to such de- gree that if you threw stone into a bunch Of schoolboys you really could- mt tell whether you had hit Russian of the second generation or pure blood American kid.

The Singular Life of Adventure of
 Temistocle Solero.

The Singular Life of Adventure o1 Temistocle Solero. l As Verdi has been so much spoken | about, naturally his librettists have come in for their share of mention, es-
 pecially the first Temistocle Solero, who had so adventurous fife that it reads | like romance of Dumas.
 He was in military school in Vien-
 na, placed there through the direct in- | fiuence of the Austrian emperor, when, tired of the confinement, he ran away and joined gypsy band, going with
 them into Hungary, where he was even-
 tually found by the police. As he was
 being marched off he met his brother,
 an officer in the Austrian army who took him under his care, putting him in
 a college in Milan. From there he was graduated, and made an acquaintance with Verdi, poor and lonely as him. self, for whom he wrote the librettos of five operas. He afterward went to Spain as director of the orchestra. One evening at the theater. hearing an off, Ger insult Queen Isabella, who was preS- ent, he turned and boxed his ears. Upon this ensued scene of confusion. The queen, hearing of its cause, desired to see and speak with her defender. Sole TO, handsome man of most prepos- sessng manners, soon became first fa- vorite and had all Spain at his feet. One day he discovered a conspiracy against her majesty, led by Don Fran cesco, her cousin. After that Solero's life was no more safe, as several at- tempts were made to assassinate him, so that even the queen advised him to return to Italy, which he did, after spending everything he had. He set tied in Milan, earning precarious liv-

SUNDAY corr, ETC.

Those who want to play golf in Mas sachusetts on Sunday and those who do
 not want golf played in Massachusetts on Sunday are much interested in the
 bill whicb has been introduced in the
 legislature providing that nothing in section or ? of chapter ASA of the acts | of the year 1895 shall be held to prohibit on the Lords day such quiet and harm | less recreation or sport, not otherwise forbidden by law, as does not trespass
 upon private rights or disturb the pub
 lie peace or public worship The peti- tion which goes with this bill points out that the provisions of the Massa-
 chusetts Sunday laws which broadly
 prohibit any and all kinds of sport
 upon the Lords day are oppressive and
 in restraint of the constitutional right
 of the people to the enjoyment of their lives and liberties; that to men who la
 bor six days in the week the denial of such innocent recreations on the Lords day as boating, fishing, golf, skating and the like, is repugnant to the spirit of Christianity and to the golden rule; that these provisions of the Sunday laws are only partially and spasmodi- cally enforced, and their tendency is, by making lawbreakers of the great majority of the people of the common wealth, who do not observe them, to bring the great body of the laws into disrespect.
 The chief pusher of this bill asserts that it is favored by such men as Pro- lessor John Fiske, Richard H. Dana, Edwin D. Mead, Winslow Warren, Rev. James Eels of the First Church of Bos- ton, Rev. Samuel Eliot and other cler- gymen of divers denominations. Also by college presidents, judges, literary men and working men--hundreds and hundreds of them. Probably. There are also distinguished men and working | men who would favor Sunday baseball, | And perhaps Sunday baseball isn't | wickeder than Sunday golf, even if it is a little more noisy. Perhaps neither | is very wicked, and perhaps it is expe- dient if not morally necessary, to keep both out of Sunday, that is, if they can be kept out. Perhaps they can't be kept out There is some Sunday golf in Connecticut and also some Sunday base ball. and if we can't keep them out of good old Connecticut perhaps Massa- ,husetts needn't expect to keep them put

In Servia societies for providing bo- nuses on marriage were formed, and flourished to such an extent as to great 1y accelerate the marriage rite. The funds were obtained on the assessment system, and, as many members who got a bonus and bride abruptly stopped their contributions, the aspiring celi- bate subscribers who were left found their obligations increasing more rapid ly than is the experience of most mar ried men. Consequently liquidation has set in among these companies with great severity, and the boom in matri- mory is likely to be followed by elump.

The Irish woman died the other one leg alongside the funeral procession two miles to the Baptist church, and dropped dead on the church steps.

At any rate, kindly hands buried it just outside the church fence, by the roadside.

When the Range is Resting.

In discontinuing the coal range for
the summer some care is needed for
its proper preservation. It seems
almost trite to say that the last fire
should be dumped and the ashes and
dust entirely removed, but expert
ence has shown that this caution is
needed. The ovens should be taken
out and the spaces in which they fit
thoroughly cleaned and creased.
Grease the oven also and the range
implements shaker, shovel, poker,
ete.-together with the iron CRATES
and such other parts of the range as
are liable to rust. These trifing
precautions will save time and mon
ey when the range is to be put into
commission again and should be OBJ
served whether the house is to be
closed or not.
