Accounting for 1t.

DR.. W. T. Bull tells this story about
a country surgeon who once had three
leg amputation cases in a week, says
the New York Times. The unusual
number of serious and similar oper-
ations naturally caused talk in the sur
geon's household and his little daugh-
ter was greatly interested A few
days after the last operation the sur
geon's wife and daughter were rum
maging in the attic. In a trunk was
found a daguerreotype depicting a girl
of about years of age. The portrait,
through a popularity of pose, showed
only one leg of the subject, the other
being doubled up under her in man
ner truly feminine.
Whose picture is that, Mammal"
asked the surgeons daughter.
Mine. 1t was taken when 1 was a
child not much older than you are
now"
did you know papa then?"
"No, dear. Why do you ask?"
IT thought maybe you did, cause
you've only got one leg"

1t is well known that the Beers are
dissatisfied with the treatment they
are receiving from the. British. When
the war in South Africa came to an
end they had the idea that they would
control the situation there pretty much
as they had controlled it before the
war began. They long ago discovered
they were mistaken, but they hoped
that gradually a larger measure OF
self-government would be granted
them. They see no signs of it. On
the contrary they know now that the
British do not trust them, and viii
not for many years. 1t has been ar
ranged that the Transvaal and the
Orange Free State shall be governed
as a crown colony, and that at least
$4,000 troops will be quartered in the
colony. Officers appointed from Eng
land supported by the troops will gov
ern the country The Beers will not
have much to say in matters pertain
ing to government.
1t is not to be wondered at there
fore that thousands of them are think
ing Of seeking homes in other lands
Many of them are preparing to mi
CRATE to Mexico. Recently former
United States Senator Marion Butler
of North Carolina, now connected with
the Del Monte Gold Mining Company
of Mexico, Gen. Joubert, and Capt
O'Donnen visited Mexico for the pur-
nd offarad the
Beers by that company. They also
visited President Diaz, and, when they
informed him that 1t was their pur-
pose to bring a great colony of Beers
to Mexico, he gave them all the en-
couragement they could desire.
The gold mining company has pur-
chased ZOO, 900 acres of land for 3d.
0O00 900 and it has agreed to sell the
Beers as much of 1t as they want, at
a nominal price, for farms, reserVlng
all mining rights. Gen. Joubert ana
Capt O'Donnell have purchased of
this tract 10000 acres and will pur-
chase more as soon as they can ar
range for other colonies. At present
they have about 1000 Boer families
who have agreed to settle on this land,
and they expect to have thousands
more in the course of a year or two.
Mexico has agreed to permit all of
the household effects, agricultural ma
chinery and implements of the Beers
to be taken into the country free OF
duty, and to assist them in every way
it can. 1t would not be surprising
therefore if there should be remark
able movement of Beers to Mexico
within the course of a year or two. 1t
is regrettable that the United States
failed TO get the Boer immigrants.
They are a desirable kind.

"How's your farm coming on?" ask
ed a man, according to the Detroit
Free Press.
ooh, it's all right" said the other
man; "just drinking up my money
right along
"What makes you keep it if you are
losing on it?' the first man inquired.
Because it is such good financial
safety valve,'' the amateur farmer eX-
planned. i've noticed all my life that
my money goes one way or another
and if l lose it in farming l am losing
it in a good, clean. wholesome KIND Of
way. When I think of the dollars that
go into my farm and bring no return
my conscience doesn't hurt me, which
can't be said of all kinds of specula-
ton.
my wife and children revel in the
farm; it is just fine to have a nice lit
tie country place to go to and to take
our friends for a days junket; so all
I lose on it, as to crops and so on
comes back in some other way. 1t is
such a square, sensible way to lose
money so I'm going to hold on to It,
That's right" argued the man who
listened. That's right. Hurrah for
the farm!"

carefully the question as to the method
Of choosing the commissioners. The
conclusion was reached that, all things
considered, it would be better to put
the responsibility of choosing them on
the Governor. 1t was thought that he
would choose capable and conserva-
tive men, and this view, it is pretty
safe to say, has been proven to be
correct by the course which the COM
mission has pursued. AS a general
thing the commission has given salts
faction to the people and TO the rail-
roads. 1t has felt free to do what
was right in dealing with weighty
questions involving the interests Of
the great corporations, which have
done so much to build up the state
and develop it's resources, and of the
people.
If the commissioners were chosen at
popular elections there would be can
didates in all probability who would
make some very rash promises as to
what they would do in the way of
towering rates If given the oppor-
tunity. If candidates making these
rash promises were chosen there would
be trouble for the railroads at once.
and that too, perhaps without good
reason. The trouble would result
from the efforts of commissioners to
fulfill their campaign promises.
We have no doubt the people want
the railroads to be treated with alb
solute fairness, but in the conflicts of
interests which are arising all the
time it is difficult for them to deter
mine what is fair. 1t seems to us
that the arguments are strongly in
favor of leaving the selection of the
commission where it is. In order to
meet the requirements of all parties
the Governor is bound to put on the
commission the most capable of the
men who will accept the position. The
success of his administration de-
ponds on his doing this. In
a popular election politics would
play such a prominent part that OBJ
jectionable men might be elected mem
bers of the commission.
Yesterday the Senate defeated the
bill providing for the election of county
school commissioners by the people.
Evidently the Senate takes the view
that there are some offices which
should be kept out of politics to as
great an extent as possible.

John B. Behee, who died at Wilkes
barre, Pa, few days ago had the dis
tinction of being the only absolutely
hairless man in the state. On neither
head nor body was there a single
strand In his youth Behee was adorn-
ed with a thick thatch of hair, like
most other barefoot boys, but follow
ing a severe illness every hair fell out
and none ever came back His case
puzzled the doctors, who couldn't find
out why he was bald. A few years
ago single hair appeared on Behee's
head. He was very proud of it, and
nursed 1t with greatest care. In spir-
It of fun one day some friends robbed
BIN of his one hair and it was thought
that he would die of grief, so badly
did he feel over it. In the absence
of hair Behees scalp became very
hard, and he could go out bareheaded
on the coolest days without contracting
cold.

A COTTON FAMINE APPREHENDED.

1t seems that the cotton spinners of
Europe are apprehensive of cotton
famine, and are going to hold a con-
ference to consider the matter. What
is it that they propose to do? 1t is
true of course, that many of the cot
ton mills of England France and Rus
STA have had to shut down because of
the inability to get cotton at a price
which would enable them to run at
profit. In fact, it is safe to say that
the supply of cotton is short. But,
what can a conference do about it?
Probably it is the purpose of the
spinners to pass a resolution condemn
ing cotton spectators for cornering
cotton That would be interesting,
but would not prevent the spectators
from trying to corner cotton another
season, or from continuing their tactics
for cornering it during the remainder
of the present season.
Perhaps it is the intention of the
spinners to encourage the production
of cotton in Asia, Africa and South
America with the hope of releasing
themselves of dependence upon this
country for their supply or raw mater
ial. A considerable amount of cotton
is produced in countries other than the
United States but, as a matter of fact,
experiments in it's cultivation, except
in India and Egypt, have not
been very successful, and there
snly ar
they would be at this time if under
taken. In the Civil War period, when
Europe was starving. as it were, for
cotton, the effort to cultivate it in
various parts of the world where it
had not been produced in paying
quantities were persistent, but they
did not amount to much.
There does not seem to be much
reason for the apprehensions of a cot
ton famine which European spinners
have. The crop in this country is
| late, but it would not be surprising
If it should be an average one. With
| favorable weather from now until the
crop is practically gathered the yield
| probably will be sufficient to meet
the demand, though the chances are
that the price will be little higher
than spinners will care to pay.
The proceedings of the proposed con-
ference will be watched with about as
much interest in this country as they
will in Europe. Cotton is this country
great export crop, and anything which
relates to 1t is of interest to the whole
| country.

A Successful Writer.

A newspaper writer. who has recently
come to this city from the West. was
made a member of the Pen and Pencil
Club. says the Philadelphia Ledger
He is a bright chap, and is known 10
he successful as a writer. His financial
success is also acknowledged. An old
member who seldom visits the club
dropped in the other night, just as the
new member was leaving.
''Who is that?" he asked of one OF
his friends.
ooh. he's all right" replied the other;
"makes heaps of money writing"
$50" said the other. What does he
write-verses, novels, plays?"
"Gad. What do you take him for--an
amateur? No, sir he writes advertise
rnents"

A mean swindle has been perpetrat-
ed by a gang of swindlers on the negro
women of Pennsylvania. A prospectus
in florid language set forth that col
lections were being taken for the pur-
pose of raising a fund to establish
a monarchy in Hawaii under the pro-
lection of the United States, and it
was represented that the colored wom-
an raising the largest sum and con-
tributing it TO the good cause would
be made the first queen of the island
kingdom. Several ambitious young
liegresses, it seems, contributed money
to the scheme before the police found
it out.

The latest frauds and scandals dis
covered are in connection with the
federal public lands. Land frauds, by
the way, are nothing new. They have
been occurring and recurring ever
since the government land Office was
established. So far as appears, no pub
lic officials are concerned in these
latest frauds, though there is no tell
ing what the investigation that has
been started will show. The frauds, it
is believed, were committed by per
sons of ample capital. which will make
it harder, because of local sentiment,
to secure their conviction and punish
ment.

One of the surprising things in con-
neetton with the Forthcoming yacht
race is the fact that Mr.. Thomas w.
Lawson has been so quiet with respect
to 1t. Mr.. Lawson always enlivens any,
thing he touches upon, hence the read
ing public has been keeping its eyes
pealed Boston-way for some indica.-
ton that he is interested, to say the
least. Maybe he will have some COM
ment to make after it is all over. At
any rate, it is safe to say that the
Lawson History of the Americas
Cup has been the most read yachting

A Kentucky man is going to write
the thrilling history of his life. The
salient features of the story, accord
ing to his own prospectus, are that
his father never spent a penny for his
clothes from infancy on, that he was
10 years old before he had a pair of
shoes, that in the thirty-tive years of
his life he has worked only thirty-five
days, that he has never owned more
than one book that he never missed
a meal in his life and never paid for
but three, and that he has written 342
love letters and never received one.
When the book of this Kentucky genius
gets on the market, the historical novel
will have to take a back seat.
