IT is too bad that the harvest of St.
Louis boodlers was not delayed until
an ''off year" just now, the de-
velopnent Of Republican stealing--or,
rather, the naming Of the thieves
under the late Ziegenhein administra-
ton, is awfully annoying to the pure
souled statesmen who want to .'re-
deem Missouri" st. Louis has been
Republican from top to bottom for
years and has been stolen out OF house
and home, so to speak; which gives
the old mossback Democrat his op-
portunity to ask embarrassing ques-
tions. And, to the disgust Of the
would-be redeemers, he asks them!

The recent political gatherings at
Joplin, Sedalia, ETC., demonstrate that
the people have not lost interest in
public affairs. Immense crowds
greeted the speakers, and there was
no lack OF enthusiasm.

1t seems to me that, with so large a
crop OF rascals to garner in St. Louis,
the Republican party OF Missouri
might probably defer its schemes OF
redemption for the State. There is
sc%riptural warrant for ones neglecting
the affairs of his neighbors while in
the stress of his own house-cleaning.

THE BUMP OF LOCALITY.
A Faculty That In Much Better De-
velOped In Man Than IL IL
in woman,

Why is it that a womau's bump of
locality is so much more feebly de-
veloped than mans? Put man
down in country road and the prob
abilities are that he will find his
way wherever he wishes to go with
out having to ask at nearby farm
houses for directions. Instinct seems
to guide him. Put a woman in the
same position and she will irretrlev-
ably lose herself in ten minutes, and
have to be sought for by resolute
men for hours before she is finally
brought back to civilization, says the
Baltimore News.
Perhaps it is that the weaker sex
is unobservant. Even in cities many
of its members do not notice build
ings closely enough to permit them
to find their way about, and certain
ly they would not notice in the coun-
try the big gum tree that they pass
here nor the haw bush that marks
the intersection of two roads there.
With the sun low in the west there
are numbers of women who can't
tell the points of the compass, and
if they could would not know in
which direction their homes lay.
When it comes to noting the details
of costume few feminines fail to
observe even the tiniest bit of braid
or the smallest bow, but trees and
houses are different and less inter-
esting things, and so in strange
town or in the woods the fair trav-
elers lose themselves in no time, and
have to be rescued and set again
upon the path by some one with n
better sense of location than they
can boast.

MIscH1EvoUs MARMosETs.
Queer Little Pets of n Washington
Woman Cut Up All Sorts of
Funny Chpers.

Two small marmosets less than a
year old have satisfied a Washington
lady, whose pets they are, that some
monkeys possess not only intelligence
and affection, but also something
akin TO a conscience. The Washing
ton Post gives a most interesting az
count of some of their characteris.
tics.
The marmosets are full of mischiev-
Gus, playful ways, and are great
sources of amusement. They will
steal all the hairpins and knicknacks
from their mistress dressing table.
Then the lady calls forth a pretty
display of conscience on the part of
her pets.
Upon discovering their pifering
she puts her hands to her face and
shows signs of grief. The marmosets
watch her for minute and seem dis
turbed; then they apparently con-
suit together, and finally one goes to
their hiding place and brings back
hairpin and lays it down.
The lady receives it, but still keeps
her face covered and seems to weep.
Then the other monkey will bring in
several more things. They climb up
to her in the prettiest way and try to
pull her fingers from her eyes to see
if this has had the desired effect. But
no, she weeps harder than ever, and
in an agony of contrition the marmo-
sets race off and fetch in all their
booty, whimpering softly and doing
all they know how to do to make
amends.
Then the lady smiles upon them
and praises them, and the little
creatures caper with delight and
climb up and caress their mistress
with their tiny paws. After this they
are on their good behavior for sew.

ASSAULTED WITH A SHOVEL
charlie Bennett Knocks Carl Schmidt
Sensele.s at the Lanyonville
Smelter and Runs.

AS the result of a blow over the
head with shovel, inflicted Tuesd ay
afternoon by Charlie Bennett, Carl
Schmidt of Lanyonville was insensi-
Ole until late tn at evening, and the
man who struck the blow fed from
his home.
Both men are chargers at the Lam
yon works of the Lanyonville Zinc
Company. 1t seems they have been
pickering for some time, having words
over the merest trifles. At noon that
day when they watered their horses
a. the same trough the trouble broke
ons again and they swore at each
other roundly. Active hostilities did
not break out, however, until about
O'Clock, when after another meeting,
Bennett seized shovel lying near
and struck savage blow which took
Schmidt on the head, telling him.
Realizing then what he had done Ben
nett disappeared and had not been
seen late last night. The blow caught
Schmidt on top of the head and it is
feared concussion of the brain and a
possible fracture of the skull may
have resulted. Up to late hour he
had not recovered consciousness.
Both the men are married and live
in Lanyonville, Bennett being u man
of about twenty-five years and Schmidt
aged about forty. kilograms and
telephone messages have been sent in
every direction in the hope of taking

SPREAD OF PEANUT CULTURE.
It's Introduction on American Soil
and Subsequent Distribution
Over the World.

The spread of the culture of the
peanut is nothing short of phenom-
enal, says Outing. A native, prob
ably, of Surinam, in Central Amer
lea, it was introduced in Brazil and
Peru in the days of that mysterious
civilization of which evidences re-
main in records and monuments.
Then it Travelled, perhaps long before
Columbus set out on his haphazard
journey, and reached China. By that
enterprising people (enterprising in
those bygone days. it was carried
to India, Ceylon and the Malay arch
ipelago. Thus, Asian tropics were
blessed with a truly American plant.
Then, again, Portuguese adventurers,
after the discovery OF America by
belated Europeans, carried the pea
nut in their slave ships to the Afri-
can coast; and thus another CONT
ent was added to the conquests of
the American. Later days have seen
il invade Australasia, and its culture
there is urged, not only for the sake
of food for man in the nuts, but also
for cattle in the foliage.

PARAFFINE FROM THE GULF.
Have Been Found Along the
Coast of Texas.

A box of the purest paraffine,
picked up along the shores of Mata.
gorda island, has been received at
the Southern Pacific Industrial head
quarters and the product is upon ex-
hibition as a souvenir of the sen.
There is n great supply to be Sc
cured at the point where this was
found. In the words of an expert,
sit is of the very best" reports the
Galveston Daily News.
And yet parafiine is known as a
manufactured product, the residue
derived from oil after it's second
boiling. Along the coast of Texas il
is cast up by the sea, fully refined,
pure as any that was ever placed
upon the market and ready for it's
commercial use. Not only is IL to
be found on Matagorda, but upon st.
Joseph's island and all along the sea
coast of Aransas county.
The theory advanced by Mr.. f. II.
Norris, the discoverer, sets forth a
belief that somewhere in the sea,
near the point where the parafine
was discovered, exists a submarine
gusher where oil, heated to the prop
er temperature, rushes forth into
the cold, clear sea water, is priperly
condensed. and, in a paroNys of
natural forces, existing under exact
ly the proper conditions, paraniue in
an eNhaustless supply is thrown
upon the waves to be cast later on
the sand of the beach.

IN OLD SLAVERY DAYS.
A Notice of Importation and Sale OF
Negroes in Boston from
Old Newspaper.

"The other day in going over some Of
my old papers" said w. p, Arnold, of
New Orleans, according to the Wash
ington Post, 81 came across a clip
ping from an old newspaper on sub
iect that excited the nation 40 years
ago 1t seems curious 10 think now
that its publication to-day has naught
save historical interest. Here it is:
"Just imported from iirica, and to
be sold ou board ,Ae big Jonney, VII
liam Ellcry, commander, now lying at
New Boston, a number of likely negro
boys and girls. from 12 to IA years of
age. Inquire Of said Ellery on board
said brig, where constant attendance
is given. Note-The above slaves have
all had the smallpox. Treasurer's
notes and New England rum will be
taken as pay
"There is a good text for a long SER
mon, but the subject requires but few
words. Massachusetts,, now so pious-
ly hostile to slavery, was, at that date,
and for half a century later, the great
slave trader of the western hemi-
sphere.

THE CITY OF THE SKY.
Increasing FOndness of WeII-to-Do
Families for Hotel Life Is Trans
forming New York.

Prominent among the influences that
are transforming New York into a city
of dwellers in the SKY is the increasing
fondness of well-to-do families for ho-
tel life. In very interesting news ar
ticle in the World ii is estimated that
the hotel population is now 100000;
that it is growing at the rate of 10000
annually, and that to accommodate
this growth some sixty new hotels will
probably be begun this year, at total
cost of $4,000, ,O00-an amount OF
building that compares fayorably with
that of tall business structures.
1t is sometimes assumed that hotel
life is antagonistic to the American
home. Twenty years ago the same as
sertion was made about the now typ
ical fiat" or apartment house; fifty
years ago life in so large city as New
York, with its half-million inhabitants
was assailed as demoralizing.
The truth is that material surround
ings must always yield to deeply rooted
mental and moral instincts. Instead OF
the hotel sitting the home-spirit, the
home-spirit istransforming the typica,
family hotel to conform to its un.
changed and unchangeable require
ments-the first of which is privacy
and the second comfort.

SOLD HER FATHERS HORSE
Moran Liverymen Are Ont Sixty Dol
lars Which They Gave an lola
Woman for Her Driving Nag.

Some days ago there was bad
family jar in the Reynolds family
which lives in the southeast part of
town. The old imam and his grown
children had a cat-and-a-dog kind of
time and managed to get into police
court, but wisely thought the matter
over and settled outside.
Last Friday, however, there was an
other outbreak. 1t seems that when
Mrs. Reynolds, wife of C. r., Reynolds,
died, she provided in her will that the
family horse and carriage should be
owned by the old gentleman during his
life, but that the children might use it,
On Friday, Mrs. Eva Stetzer, one of the
ran and sold it to C. c. Smock and II.
B. Smith, the liverymen, for sixty two
dollars and fifty cents. Mrs. Stetzer
returned to lola, but left the next day
and has not been seen since.
When the old gentleman learned of
this he took legal steps to recover
the horse and Constable Hahn went to
Moran, took possession OF the horse
and drove him to lola. The hearing
OF the case, to determine who owns the
horse, cameup in Justice Hough'scourt
at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning and
continued in justice court to May 28.
The statement that Mrs. Stetzer had
gone proved later to be an error as
she returned home. Monday she got
out papers in Judge Hough's court
and replevined some household furni-
ture at her fathers house which she
claims belongs to her. So there
seems to be a likelihood that the
troubles of thefamily are not yet over.

WINTER IN JAPAN.
II Is n Trying Season ana brings
Discomfort Even Into the
Homes of the Rich.

The Japanese winter is most try
ness, but the japanese are content
to remain cold. They make almost
no effort to overcome it. The old
"Bushido" (chivalrous) idea of the
"samurai" (knights) was that it was
effeminate to feel cold, and such Is
their severe training that they do
not really feel it as we do. The
wearing of some extra "kimonos"
and the use of "hibachi" or brazier
in which are few tiny sticks d
lighted charcoal are the only conces-
sions to winter weather. With the
"hibachi" they never pretend to heat
more than their finger tips, which
they hold over the Goals. 1t is used
when the house is entirely open.
The houses, as everyone knows, are
built of thin, light wood, and the
sliding panels which serve for doors
and windows have paper panes.
They are as apt to be open as closed
during the day. The coolies wear
thin blue cotton clothes and are al
ways padding through the mud. The
storekeepers sit out in their open
booths and the women go bare
headed about the streets. In the
houses of the rich the still cold be-
hind the closed panels is often more
intense than that outside in the sun
shine, where the air is stirring.

The description of the costume worn
by Richard III. at his crowning and
ordered by himself was, according to
a list, still eXtant, composed of "a doub-
let made of two yards and IA quarter

generally supposed to be deficient,
has been discovered by Americans
and put to practical purposes in the
little village of HeathGeld, Sussex.

MONKEY WAS IN BATTLE.
The Twenty-Third Regiment of New
York Has n Mascot Veteran of
the Philippine War.

Fritz, the mascot of company Fl,
Twenty-third regulars, and veteran of
the Philippine war, is known to the
boys of the company as "comrade,"
and to them he is away above the aver
age of his kind, says the New York
Mail and Express.
Fritz enjoys the rare distinction of
being the only one of 10 monkeys able
to stand the long ocean voyage from
Manila. Frank j. Knoffkey is his own
er, and the soldier has never gone into
an engagement since April "A, 1900,
when Fritz was brought into camp,
without the faithful monkey either on
his shoulders or trudging along close
by his side. Fritz has been on every
island in the Sulu archipelago, and suf-
fered without a murmur the long and
trying campaign.
When Knoffkey lay wounded on the
field on Cebu island, his comrades in
uniform pressed on, but his comrade
Fritz nestled close to his side and
guarded him through the watches of
the night.
On the regiments forced march
across Latey island, Fritz divided his
time between walking and riding on
the shoulders of the men all along the
line. 1t was on this occasion that he
came near losing his life, at the hands
Of several wild monkeys because he

New Plug May be a Go.

The Topeka papers all made mem
tion of the fact that the Santa Fe was
considering the putting on of a new
Hyer between Chanute and Kansas
City and stated that Mr.. Black was
making inquiries of agents along the
line as to whether such train would
be popular in their towns. Tuesdays
Topeka Herald says: A new plug
train is to be inaugurated between
Chanute and Kansas City to connect
with the new Colorado flyer. The
train will leave Chanute at 6:25 a. M
and arrive in Kansas City at HOS a.
m, returning, leave Kansas City at
4:2o p. m. and arrive at Chanute at 8
p. m.
That is the first definite statement
that the train will be put on. The
Herald adds that on June the Santa
Fe installs a new time card, which
calls for Colorado Flyer, and the
Southern Kansas train will make
connections with it. This gives double
service TO Colorado daily.
Mr.. Seagrave, travelling passenger
agent of the Santa Fe, was in town
and told a REGISTER reporter
that the Herald's story about the plug
for Kansas City is correct and the
train will undoubtedly be put on. Mr..
Edgar is much pleased as the action
is due to his efforts.

DINNER TABLES FOR HORSES.
Queen Alexandra sends Small stands
for Noscbngs to Copen-
hagen Cnbmen.

Queen Alexandra has always had
great consideration for horses and
other useful animals, and displayed
much interest some years back in a
movement which resulted in the post
ing of notices requesting passengers
to refrain from causing avoidable
stoppages of buses, because of the
strain imposed on the teams. Her
majesty has recently expressed a de-
sire to do something Tor the horses on
the public cab ranks, and has taken the
initial steps, says the London Tele-
graph. In Copenhagen there are in
general use on the carriage ranks
small trestle stands, or tables, on
which the horses nosebags are placed,
so that the animals may feed in great
er comfort; and, as an experiment.
Queen Alexandra has had a dozen of
these tables sent over from Denmark.
Her majesty's notion is to give them
to n few drivers, in the hope that
their practical utility may be demon
strated and the system extended. The
trestles are extremely light and com
pact, and the top part, is formed Of
strong webbing. The whole contri.
vance can be folded into very small
compass, and quite conveniently
slowed away under the seat of a cab
when the vehicle leaves the rank. The
tables have been tentatively used at
the cab rank in Pail Mall within the
past few weeks.
