inc extract from a letter from Secre

Weekly Democrat, says the Sedalia
Democrat: Il notice your editorial
paragraph in the last issue OF the
Democrat in which you say: ut is
said Sam Cook is booked for the
Democratic nomination for Governor

mplimentary terms i'll which you
mention this report, | want to assure
YOU that | am booked for nothing
at this time save a faithful perform
ance OF the duties with which my par
tv hOnored me last year. 1t is not
necessary for me to say tOyou that L
am not unmindful of the good opin-
| ion of the country newspapers oil the
State. Without their unselfish help
| would have accomplished but little
politically for either the party or my
self. If | were to be permitted to
make suggestion at this time to

let the campaign of 1904 alone un-

MUST PROVIDE o. THE BOY.
San Francisco, with O climate which
makes possible to encourage outdoor
life during the greater portion of the
year, has both a greater responsibility
to supply adequate outdoor spaces
which are the property Of its citizens
and a greater privilege in that its in.
vestment must be Of greater value
since it a be used almost twice as
long as that In the less-favored East
ern cities.
Too little provision is made for the
so~called bad boy. who may be Of much
finer clay than his good brother-the
cart horse is less restless than his high
bred brother and far less apt to take
the bit in his teeth and run. We must
provide for him accordingly If we have
wit or wisdom.
It would, therefore, appear that in
the interest Of good citizenship and Of
economy In morals and even~what
seems to be Of greater Importance to
some-of economy in money, that n
Of the most necessary steps to be TAX
en- is to establish such Fairgrounds
and outdoor gymnasiums as may COM
pete in their attractions with the many
temptations of the street. The child
is father to the man, and the street
is no place of rest nor refuge for one
or the other in his leisure moments.

a German professor has made public
to show that we are not descended
from apes. 1t would seem that the
apes branched off from the direct line
Of descent about the time that we did
and that they are, consequently, our
cousins a good many times removed
and not our remote grandfathers. Per.
sonally 1t is a matter of perfect indiR
ference to me whether I descend from
an ape OF whether the ape is only my
cousin. During the period that covers

Health Value OF VegetabIea.

A diet of nothing but celery is said
by some physicians to be q sure cure
for both rheumatism and neuralgia.
Free use of this vegetable is always
recommended to rheumatic patients.
Baked potatoes are digested more
easily than boiled potatoes, and should
therefore be preferred. by d~yspeptics.
In cases Of anaemia, cabbages and
spinach are distinctly beneficial. Spin
ach Is also almost as valuable as lithia
water In it's effect on the kidneys.
Beets and turnips keep the blood
pure and improve the appetite.
Tomotoes are thought in Indian to
be a preventive Of cholera. Like en-
dives and watercresses, they stimulate
the healthy action Of the liver.
Just after the battle OF Fort Donel-
son, General Grant is said to have
telegraphed to Washington that he
would not permit the army to move
till forty wagon loads Of onions that
had been promised to him should ar
rive. Onions are essential TO the army
mess, to make pork OF beef palatable.
But they are also an admirable cure
for sleeplessness and indigestion every.
where.
Garlic, leeks and olives stimulate the
circulation Of the blood.
Too much meat and too few vegeta-
bles make up the average diet. Health
depends on continuous variety.

canaht n Baby Whale.

A baby whale, two and @ half Deet in
length, was washed ashore in Il
breakers a few miles south OF the
Cliff House, Sunday afternoon, and
was Immediately picked up by G. Bak-
er, s. Roberts and George. Whistler,
who were walking on the beach. The
little whale was lively and in sound
condition, apparently, except for a
slight bruise on the side of his head.
and in half an hour the young men
had him in a receptacle filed with salt
water. The little fellow was brought
to the city, and thrives so well that
yesterday, to the amazement of his
captors, he had grown to a length Of
nearly four feet. He is one of the
blue species and blows vigorously most
of the time he is thrasIing around in
his tank. Seafaring men who looked
upon the little whale yesterday said
they had never seen SO diminutiye a
specimen of his species before, but
that he was nevertheless a whale. His

The Knight on his prancing steed,

Anna n. Benjamin. In Ainslee's
Magazine, says: II ;
'There are no bad lands in the
whole of Southern Siberia, and the
:ich, arabic land extends hundreds OF
gersts farther north. We passed
through on the river steamers and
the railroad in June and July, and
:ound~ the climate at that time alto
gether delightful. The vegetation, the
:rees and shrubs, were like those Of
New England. The crops were well
along, the people looked prosperous
and contented. It is now several
years since the Russian Government
has adopted a system of colonization
'or Siberia. She makes a careful ex-
animation of all candidates for emi-
grafton, and those who have the re-
| 1uisite qualifications receive, with
heir families, free transportation to
| The new country. Lands are allotted
% them which are exempt from taxes
.or twenty years; at the end of that
time they may be rented OF purchased
1t a moderate sum. They are almost

Military service for ten years. Money
s lent to emigrants who already have
/ certain ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS they are
aot allowed to emigrate-which need
1ot be repaid for thirty years. Agrl-
cultural implements are given them
outright. No wonder that some OF the
cream of Russian ~peasantry has been
induced to emigrate. Whole communi-
lies have found in their new home q
ot which is better than anything they
1ave ever known in the mother coun-
try. I was constantly impressed by
he air OF prosperity about every ST.
,erian settlement-the neat houses,
The well-kept barnyards, the album
1antly yielding soil, the absence Of
squalor. Later when we passed
through the heart of European Rus

ince of the two sections, and l came to
he conclusion that the Russian peas

emigration to Siberia.
Hardly a day passed as we steamed
