To many men and women of business
a seat Is an undreamed of luxury. Yet
they would be insulted If one were to
ask why they did not live over their
shops, as Frenchmen do, or back of
them, like Englishmen. 1t is this un
easy instinct of Americans, this desire
of their families to separate Industrial
and social life, that makes the use OF
the trolley car imperative. and the
street railway in this manner widens
the life and dominion of the people. 1t
enables them to distribute themselves
over wider spaces and unwittingly to
symbolic the expansiveness OF the ma
ton.

Is this mortal life one gigantic mis-
take and our existence here one big
blunder?
Whether this be true or not, one
fact is quite eveit ent, most of us make
mistakes.
Men start out in life by using poor
Judgment in selection parents, and are
born poor, when children of rich
parents have more fun and go to
college. Others exercise lamentable
taste in selecting a birthplace and are
born in New Jersey, or similar places.
when there is plenty of room and
pure air in Colorado
Some few make mistake in being
born at all. Not satisfied with the
big mistake on the start, many go
through life cutting wide path
through the field of blunders and
wind up in the end by not ending up
soon enough
Others, after following the narrow
trail of discretion and good judgment,
make the big mistake at the end by
going too soon, and we all bear in
mind characters so lovable and bcauti-
full, SO charitable and kind to all man
kind, that it seems mistake that
they cannot live forever.
But it's not the big mistakes we
are after now, it's the little ones.
l met lady who wanted a camera
for her boy, and thinking to save
something, sent east for it, but she
did not first figure with the express
company, and when her package came
she paid the charges, and the ''sav-
ing" was on the wrong side, and the
camera did not suit. So she came to
Beecher, agent for the Eastman Kodak
company and told her troubles, just
as many others have done, and she
found she did not want a plate ma
chine at all. but films, and that she
could have got just what she wanted
at home and just rs chep.
OF course she was sorry. just as
oters have been, but Beecher helped
her out as best he could, and told her
how to make the best of poor barg-
ain. just as he has told other; before.

If you are thinking of buying a
camera as many are, don't make a
mistake but go to Beecher's and find
out about it, it costs nothing to inves-

Senator F. Dumont Smith has a letter
which Vernon j. Rose, the Demo-Pop
nominee for Congressman in the Seventh
district, wrote to Chester [. Long urging
him to vote to seat Roberts, the Mormon
from Utah.
In the last campaign Smith and Rose
met at Lakin. Rose challenged Smith to
a joint debate, and Smith accepted.
Rose led off with attack on President
McKinley's administration for not sup
pressing polygamy in the Sulu Islands.
Smith happened to have Roses letter
in his pocket. Long had sent it to him a
short time before for publication. When
Smiths time came to talk he said:
1.-The administration will get around
to the suppression of polygamy in the
Sulus in due time. Just now it is doing
a good deal toward the suppression of
polygamy in the United States. You re-
member that a Utah Norman named
Roberts lately tried to break into Con-
gress- Six thousand men and women in
the Seventh district wrote to MIR. Long,
asking him to vote against Roberts.
Only one man asked Mr. Long to vote
for Roberts and that man is my worthy
opponent in this debate Vernon J.
Rose.''
Then Mr. Smith read Roses letter.

Uncle Sans Big Quilt.

letter was received by Gov. Dockery
fIom Mrs. L. NJ. Moffett, who wrote in
behalf of the ladies' circle of the Central
Methodist church, at Bridgetown, n. j.
Mrs. Moffett stated that the ladies were
making quilt which was to be prenent-
ed to President Theodore Roosevelt.
The quilt is to have forty-nine blocks, of
which forty five will represent the
several states of the Union, three will be
given to Uncle Sans new colonial pos
sessions and one will be devoted to the
District of Columbia. On the state
blocks will be embroi dered the state
flower, with the name of the governor.
1t was to secure his signature and Mis-
souri's 1ora1 emblem that the letter was
sent to the governor. He complied with
the request, designating golden rod as the
flower. On the District of Columb ia
block will be embroidered President
Roosevelt's name and the name of each

Range cattle have begun to moYe north

filled with long horns and short horns
have been hauled from Texas points via

carloads are on the way. Two thousand
carloads will come from the Pecos Val

advertise as Cuban Itch which is really
smallpox. They have it in mild way

A Volcano Destroys Entire City
ST. Pierre, a city of 10000 Inhabitants,
on the island of Martinique, in the Lesser
Antilles, was destroyed by volcano. and
| the entire population is reported dead
The French island of Martinique,
| whose original name was Madiana, is of
volcanic formation and is known one
of the sswet'' islands, owing to the
amount of rain of rain which annually
falls-something like 100 Inches Its cli-
mate is hot and moist and hurricanes
and earthquakes are not infrequent- The
island is forty-ffv miles long by eighteen
broad, and has about sc, 900 acres of very
fertile land under cultivation. The total
area is about $50 square miles. There
are many high mountains, the highest be-
ing Mount Pelee, 1929 feet, which is a vol
cano, occas onally active, at the foot of
which rests ST. Pierre. Tie population
of the island is 160 900, of which per-
haps 10000 white. The principal
towns are ST. Pierre and Fort de France.
Sugar rum and coffee are the principal
products
Many things combine to make the is
land of Martinique itself more beautiful
and more Economically interesting than
any other of the West Indian islands. Its
mountain scenery is more POLITICALLY
beautiful, its towns more strikingly pic
turesQue in architecture, and its popula
ton more varied and beautiful in color
and type than anywhere else among the
Windward islands.
St. Pierre with 49, 900 inhabitants, is
the principal city of the island in point
of population and commercial impor
lance. although Fort de France is the
civil capital.
Down to the waters edge the streets
of St. Pierre descend, and behind are
gardens and plantations sloping up to the
mountains. The city is built on rising
land, and the streets, which follow the
coast line, mount one above the other.
that the upper ones are 200 feet above the
sea. These streets intersected at
right angles by long avenues which de-
cend steeply to the waters edge; some
times, as in the native quarter, the de-
scent is sharp that the streets are built
into flights of steps. Down the center
at the side of every street run canals of
freshly-fiowing rapid water, carrying
the refuse of the city to the sea.
The houses are of substantial stone,
many of them built in the eighteenth cen
fury, and are carefully constructed, with
marble or cedar floors. The uniform
color of the houses is a bright yellow,
with blue violet shutters and doors,
which gives this old French island town
a coquettish gayetv even i'll the days of
its old age and decay. And these houses
buried in the splendid green of tropic
gardens, and shine like gold in the splen-
doris of atmosphere palpitating with
sunlight and the sapphire of the tropic
sky and troplc sea. which at the high
level of the streets melts its liquid blue
into the ethereal blue sky.
