DEAR MAJOR:
You told me the editor Of The Globe
was a friend of yours. I wish you
would get him to write up that cub, the
private secretary Of the Secretary Of
Agriculture Wilson, The cub is his
son. | understand the Mirror wrote
him up fine in last weeks paper say
ing he had better be back in Iowa
milking the cows, plowing, etc. If
can get the article | will send it with
my card to Senator Allison. | had oc-
casion to call to see the Secretary this
week, but | did not see him The cub
stops every one and opens all mail, so
you are headed off when you try to
reach him by letter. The present son
is the second one that is going to
feather his nest. The other one went
to Paris at the expense Of Uncle Sam.
| intended to write an article myself
for The Globe but l am so busy this
wesk-daughter and l just returned

tion, and have him hl you they had

PLACER MINING LAWS.
The Senate Bill Extending Them to Saline
Lands Passed.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, Jan 22.Tne House today
adopted a resolution expressing profound
regret and sympathy for the English peo-
pie on account of the death of Queen Vic
toria The resolution was adopted with
out a word of dissent or debate. The
resolution was in almost the identical
language adopted upon the occasion OF
the death of the President of the French
Republic and the Car of Russia.
The House passed by a vote OF 112 to
SO the bill to send to the Court OF Claims
the claims of Cramp and Sons, amount
ing to some thing over $1,3O0,00, for al
legged damages due the company on ac-
count of the failure of the Government to
promptly furnish armor plate and other
material used in the construction OF the
New York Columbia, Massachusetts and
Indiana. The claim has been prominent
ly before Congress for several years. The
Senate bill to extend the placer mining
laws to saline lands was passed after
a rather spirited debate. special rulo
was adopted for the consideration OF
the bill to promote the efficiency Of the
revenue cutter service after the disposal
of the bill for the revision of the postal
laws
Mr.. Underwood (Ala.), opposed the rule
on the ground that it, would add 25 per
cent to the officers salaries and prove an
entering wedge for a civil pension roll.
The order was adopted, 123 to SO. Some
progress was made with the District of
Columbia Appropriation Bill.
Mr.. Hit, Chairman of the Committee
on Foreign Affairs then offered the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolved. that the House of Represen-
tatives of the United States of America
has learned with profound sorrow Of the
death of Her Majesty, Queen Victoria,
and sympathizes with her people in the
loss of their beloved sovereign. That
the President be requested to commun-
cate this expression of the sentiment of
the House to the Government of Great
Britain. That as a further mark of re-
spect to the memory of Queen Victoria
the House do now adjourn"
The resolution was unanimously adopt
ed and at sos p. m. the House stood
adjourned until noon tomorrow

Nut Sausages.

Vegetarians have been attending
the annual congress Of their Federal
Union at the Memorial Hall, Earring
don street, London. and hoping fer
yently for the reclamation of the car
nivorous millions outside. In accord
ance with the custom at these annual
gatherings. there was an exhibition
of preparations from which every YES
tise of the hateful meat was rigorous
ly excluded.
A hardened unbeliever who visited
the exhibition was a little astonished
to discover at one of the stalls plate
of what looked like outlets. 1t was
reassurng, however, to learn that they
were absolutely innocent of meat, and
that, like the rissoles on another dish,
they might be eaten without blush
by the truest disciple Of the turnip.
Nut foods moulded to counterfeit

impart more bone, brain, blood and

A Babv Can. rvs Music Lesson.

In the account Of q pair of canaries
and their offspring, which is published
in the Ladies' Home Journal, Florence
Morse Kingsley tells how the oldest
baby bird, as soon as he learned to
tutter from one perch to another and
to reach for seed and crack it, was
put into 4 cage by himself and hung
out on the veranda near the father
bird, who was named Wee Willie Win
kie, and was superb singer. Then
the baby birds education began. First,
he learned to jump fearlessly into his
china bathtub and tlutter his wings
and get himself gloriously wet, just as
father did. Next. he cuddled himself
into i delightfully."- comfortable little
bunch on his perch and listened at
tentively while Wee Willie Winkie
sang his wonderful song. The second
week we heard a funny, sweet little
chirping and gurgling. 1t was the
young canary; he had begun to study
his profession in earnest. Hour after
hour the little fellow practiced, happi-
ly and patiently. One day he trilled a
little trill, and the mex. day he had
learned three new gurgles, and the day
after that he wove the trill and the
gurgles together and added a longer
trlll on a higher key. In three weeks
time we were asking, lis it Wee Willie
Wrinkle who is singing, or the baby?"

Tbousands of Wild Geese.

Wild geese, honkers and yellow legs
are arriving on Sauvie's Island by the
thousand on their way North, and
some of the farmers there are using
bad language because the law passed
by the late Legislature forblds them to
shoot these geese. They allege that
the geese are destroying their crops
and devastating their pastures, and de-
mand protection. One irate rancher
was assured that he could not be
harmed for protecting his crops and
was told to take club and sail IN and
kill as many of them as he could. He
had no idea of undertaking any such
wild goose chase" as that, but made
threats of trying powder and shot
on the web-footed birds. Probably
he might be allowed to kill the geese
to protect his crop and might be al
lowed to give away those killed, but
if he undertakes to sell them the game
warden will be afte. him. A thousand
or two wild geese, hungry from a
long flight. can soon play havoc with
n grain field or a pasture. In Cali
fornia the farmers shoot the wild geese
which come on their farms by the
wagonload 1t is the opinion of most
sportsmen that the Legislature over
