MORE VOTES FOR PRESIDENT

It will take fifteen more votes tc
elect the next President than were re.
quired at the last election of Mckinley
Under the reapportionment act, which
goes into operation on March 4, 1903,
the membership of the House of Rep
resentatives and the electoral college is
increased to the extent of twenty-nine
There were 447 members in the electoral
college which chose President McKin-
ley. There will be 476 in the body
which will choose his successor in 1904,
and this number will be further in
creased if any of the Territories should
be admitted to statehood in the inter
vel. The States of the North Atlantic
seaboard gain nine votes in the cleo
tOral college by the new allotment
three of which go to New York;, the
sixteen ex-slave States gain ten and
the Middle West and the far West also
gain ten.
AS the States increase and the cleo
toraI college expands the chance for
the dominance of any particular State
grows less and less New York was
pivotal in 1914, 1S4S, 1880, 1884 and
1888, but Cleveland in 1892 and McKln-
ley 1896 and 1900 would have been
elected if New York, which they car
ried, had gone against them. In 1876.
however, when Hayes had lead of
only one vote in the electoral college,
and when Tllden carried New York,
the little State of Colorado, which was
admitted that year - which the Demo
Gratis could easily have kept out had
they thought it would be on the other
side in the election - may be said to
have been "pivotal" The electoral
college had 369 members in 1876. It
will have 476 in 1904, while if Oklahoma
or any other Territory be admitted to
statehood before then the number will
be greater. Manifestly,as the electoral
college increases in size the margins
for the successful candidates for Presi-
dent will have a tendency to broaden,
and no single State, however large,
viii ordinarily be able to claim for
itself any especial dominance in dlctas-
ing the result.

EVANs STAYS IN OFFICE.

A Washington special, June 81 to
the Boston Herald says:
THE President has no intention of
superseding Mr. Evans as Commission
er of Pensions, and would not accept
his resignation if he offered it, but he
does desire to reward Mr.. Evans for
his faithful service of the past four
years in thankless Office and under
great strain and much dlsagreeable
criticism, by promoting him to less
arduous and more honorable position
when suitable vacancy occurs. None
is now in sight.
These are the facts behind the recent
talk on the subject among politicians
and in the newspapers, probably
prompted by the information which
the Kansas delegation secured that ex-
Representative Peters, of Kansas,
would probably succeed Mr.. Evans
whenever the latter should be pro-
NOTED.
Commissioner Evans had a talk with
the President to-day about the matter,
and, it is understood, learned sub
stantially what is give above. Com
missioner Evans went to the White
House seeking information as to the
pleasure of the President, from whom
he had heard nothing, and moved by
the newspaper stories to ask whether
the President desired to make a change
in the Office and to say that his resigna-
ton was, of course, at his disposal.
This gave the President an opportun-
ity to tell Mr.. Evans how much he APP
preciated all that he had done, how
unwilling he would be to accept his
resignation, and how DESTROYS he was
to reward him by promotion.

Barley Malt and Barley.

Lawes and Gilbert of Rothamsted
Experiment Station, England, report
the result Of an experiment in feeding
twenty milking cows, twenty fatten-
ing oxen, sixty sheep and forty-eight
pigs on barley malt as compared with
barley The malt was compared with
an amount of barley equal to that from
which it was produced and a sample
which had been taken from the same
stock The trial was conducted in a
very careful manner and covered two
grades Of barley, viz, good mailing
barley and second grade barley.
Lawes and Gilbert write: THE gen
eral conclusion from the results of the
direct experiment with cows, oxen,
sheep and pigs, is, that a given weight
of barley is more productive, both of
the milk of COWS, and Of the increase
in overweight of fattening animals,
than the amount of malt and malt-dust
that would be produced from it.
Irrespective of economy, malt
is undoubtedly a very good food for
stock; and common experience seems
to show that a certain amount Of it Is
beneficial when given in admixture,
and in change with other food to young
or weakly animals or in making up
or finishing for exhibition or sale;
that is when the object is to produce a
particular result irrespective of the
economy required in ordinary feed
ing"

hiding Bicycle on Railroad.

A genius has invented an attachment
for a bicycle which makes it possible
to wheel along a railroad track at a
high speed without chance of tumbling
off. This invention consists of a small
wheel attached to three pieces of steel
pipe. The latter can be screwed to the
bicycle or detached at will. The small
wheel, which has large fianges, rests
on the "off" side of the track, and the
bicycle glides along gently. the rider
leaning slightly toward the center of
the rails. This machine has been
tried on all kinds of curves and found
to work successfully. The rider can
lift the machine from the track in a
few moments. and with II he can make
fifteen miles an hour with ease.

ton, the bank at portions shaded
seemed cool and pleasing to the eye,
striking contrast to the sun reflect
ing rocks. II lay just a hundred yards
away and TO cross that hundred yards
might cost your life; so it might as
well have been a mirage for all the
good 1t did the 40 thirsty men on the
hilltop. We waited for troops to
reinforce us, waited and waited all
that day.
1t was rocky place and seemed as If
it had been baked and baked centuries
perhaps in that fierce sunlight till the
rocks became glazy hot, the shrubs
withered and the ground dry and pow
derry. AS If to make it worse for us,
"Grumbler' Doyle had been hit;
"Grumbler' had got it at last as often
prophesied. He was shot through the
chest in such way as to make it i'm
possible for him to live. Doyle was a
big, blustery man, who would growl
whether the officers backs were turned
or not; so in a measure he was brave
man, as you will agree if you ever
have soldiered.
We made him as comfortable as pos
sible in the almost imaginary shadow
of large boulder and gave him little
by little the few hot drops of water left
in the canteens. The wound started to
trouble him after the water ran out
1t was bad enough for us; the brain
seemed dulled the mouth grew
parched and the eyes hurt from the
glare. But to be in the sun hour after
hour with a hole in the chest must be
maddening. 1t is a bad thing, hole
drilled by Mauser; it is as clean and
complete as You might imagine And
there on that hot ridge We had to stay;
the lifting of hand would bring a
shot.
For while he lay quiet. Nothing
was TO be heard but an insects drone,
while above us in the blue sky a vul-
ture wheeled In wide circles and watt
ed. Off there, black against a yellow
ground, lay two heaps, one sprawled,
and tangled, picturing our probable
fate.
Suddenly the wounded man gave
whining groan and started to babble
foolishly. First it was a silly flow of
disjointed words and sentences, par
TALLY unintelligible, punctuated by the
whining means. Then he talked of
friends and home he once had back
East" Now he recalled old incidents
and laughed a painful cackle over a
boyhood trick. Then he talked OF
trouble, pleaded with a woman and
quarreled with a man. His life had
been a bad one, though some of us
never believed all told of him, but now
we heard it all from his own lips and
pitied him, for in his wandering talk
he told of things sacred even TO
scoundrel. 1t was a simple tale OF
mans wasted life, the fruits of which
had driven him to the army, but there
memory followed and made bad SOL
der out of great strong material.
Once he started to gamble-just as
had often seen him gamble, on the
quiet at barracks; hand after hand he
dealt and won and lost Now he was
telling a favorite story over the liquor.
But he always came back TO the bad
life and cursed in a horrible strain
himself and those who had helped him

II was his first serious lecture, brief
one, but convincing, complete. Perhaps
II will have more weight IL stated it

After a quick march in the hot sui
try morning, when the sun made even
the hat upon your head seem heavy,
and the rife weighed pounds upon
pounds, we rushed through a ragged
line of trees out into the open toward
a small ridge, from the top OF which
little puffs of white flew and dull re-
ports sounded, while the sharp crack
OF twigs behind us proved bad mark
manship. But once a man fell all
sprawled out. When we reached the
ridge l remember looking back and he
had not moved, still sprawled out, face
downward in the dirt, with second
tangled heap near him.
We had driven them of the ridgetop,
a little feat that cost two men their
lives, only to have them stop obstin
ately at another some 200 yards the

before us. It's thick tropical vegeta-

The Band Lied.

Copyright, 1901. by Daily Story Pub. Coz
To sum it all up, the volunteer may
be divided into three distinct classes
those who follow the drum from a
sense Of duty, heroes; those in search
OF glory, FOOLS together with few
rascals and unfortunates, who for
strictly personal reasons wish to hide.
The first two predominant, and while
many arguments may be brought for
ward TO show they are not, judging
from motives alone, heroes or fools, a
hot campaign soon proves the truth of
the assertion. A hot sun, an empty
stomach and a vivid view of death
is enough to convince any man. The
third class has nothing to hope for,
nothing to regret. The favored few
reap fame, all reap hardship and Ill
health, while the life often generous
ly provides an unmarked grave for the
majority.
Jim Doyle, private, always argued in
this fashion, and was rewarded with
the title Of "grumbler' for his pains;
but after his lecture on the ridge that
day l have no doubt the men of the
Sixteenth thoroughly agreed with him.

rambling, pleading prayer-a prayer
for water.
And just one hundred yards away

He raised his head above the ridge

He was but man OF flesh and blood
so he crawled back again, and though
he never went. he was hero, that
fellow.
And as the shadows grew longer and
the sun another tint of red, the wound
ed man started to sing. All out OF

shrilly voice, the words jumbled and
twisted:

hurrah-'rah!

He stopped, and, gazing straight be-

voice sounding much the same as
when on a spree, said:

CLASSIFIED, though the TIVE principai
one1 are well known.
Sweet cassava is q small Dubious root,
fusiform, about the size Of Q potato.
This Is used by the natives in some
sections as yams are used.
Bitter cassava is much larger, some
roots weighing 100 pounds, and is used
extensively in the manufacture OF the
different forms of starches such as
tapioca and tho common laundry
starch. BraziY exports about S5,0oo,-
COO worth of these products annually.
With proper cultivation, selection of
varieties, hybridizing and with i'm
provements in machinery for handling
and manipulating the different prod
ucts, this industry should develop into
q very important business.
Experiments are now being made
with a view Of growing the cassava
root commercially in Florida and some
ether portions of the United States
