TALLEST OF ANIMALS.
Reaches n Height of Twenty
Feet, Most of 1t Being Neck.

I wonder how many of you boys and
girls have seen n giraffe. Here is the
picture of one, which will give you
some idea of how they look.
The giraffe is found in different parts
of Africa. 1t is the tallest of all wild
animals and when full grown reaches
to the height of IS or 20 feet. Its great
height is mostly due to the long neck
which it has. The giraffe feeds upon
the leaves of trees which it finds no
trouble in reaching, but it rarely at

LITTLE MlLLlONAlRES.

Twenty little millionaires
Playing In the sun:
Millionaires in mother-love,
Millionaires in fun,
Millionaires in leisure hours,
Milllonaires in joys,
Millionaires in hopes and plans,
Are these girls and boys.
Millioraires in health are they,
And in dancing blood,
Mililonalres in shells and stones,
Sticks and moss and mud;
Millionaires in castles
In the air, and worth
Quite a million times as much
AS castles on the earth
Twenty little millionaires,
Playing in the sun;
oh, how happy they must be,
Every single one!
Hardly any years have they,
Hardly any cares;
But in every lovely thing
Multimillionaires.

CHANGES OF VENUE
Must Be Earned in Justice Burnett
 Court.

The law on the subject oi change of venue was laid down by Justice Burnett yesterday in the case of Santi- ago Berryesa who had been arrested on a warrant sworn out in Justice Robert sons court charging him with dis turbance of the peace of Guadalupe Perez
 Immediately after his arrest Berry esq asked for change of venue and added the extraordinary request that the case be sent to Tempe. The change was granted but the case instead of be- ing sent to Tempe was transferred to Justice Burnett's court There being no other court in this precinct than those of Justices Robertson and Bur nett, BeTTyesa reasoned that in the course of time he could have his case sent to Tempe anyhow. Accordingly he made affidavit of bias and pre- Judice in Justice Burnetts court and what does not ordinarily happen in such cases the change of venue was denied. In his order denying the change Justice Burnett said: "A change of venue is statutory and while there is nothing in the statutes to fix a limit as to the number of times a defendant may apply for a change of venue this court is well settled in the opinion that in the absence of a show ing other than the mere formal affi- davit of bias and prejudice a change Of venue may be refused It is never the intention of the legislative power to pass frivolous and futile laws and it can as well be reasoned that where an attempt is made to violate common sense regarding, or in connection with any statute of privilege CT even statute Of right such an attempt should be dis outraged and this court certainly in tends to discourage it.
 Where it is plainly the intention of the defendant to obta n a succession of changes of venue in the hope of wear ing out the territory and its witness in a chase for justice. and accompany ing the applications are affidavits that furnish in themselves a strong proof of perjury. t'ils court believes it to bc the duty of the court to stop such proceed ings by refusing to change the venue IL may be considered as a precedent of determination in this court that no second change of venue will be granted here unless upon such a showing as would move the sympa thies of a still more inferior court or the legal rigid ity of a higher one. The change of venue is denied"

There is to be a baroer shop In the basement of the new KnickeTbocker hotel, at Forty-second street and Broadway. You may have observed that nearly every shop in Broadway is in the basement. This particular one has been rented for S6.500 a year. The one in the Waldorf brought 5000 a year before the Astoria was built. and probably brings a great deal more now. That in the new Astor hotel has been let at a marvellous figure. My amaze ment gets tired in contemplation of these rents. How can barbers manage to pay them and live?

A GOOD RECOMMENDATION.

"I have noticed that the sale on Chamberlain's Stomach & Liver Tab lets is almost invariably to those who have once used them" says MT. J. II. Weber, a prominent druggist of Cas- cade, Iowa. What better recommends tion could any medicine have than for people to call for it when again.in need of such a remedy? Try them when you feel dull after eating. when you have a bad taste in your mouth, feel bilious. have no appetite or when troubled with constipation. and you are certain to be delighted with the prompt relief which they afford.

Educators Say Too Much Is Required
of Students.
The department of the High School
Association voted unanimously yester-
day morning in favor of a reduction Of
the units required by the universities.
Fifteen units are required. but in the
opinion of the committee thirteen would
be more reasona BILE. The report was
made by Dr. A. w. Scott of the Ala
media High School, who stated that the
high standard required by the
university for entrance does not allow
the students sufficient time for voca-
tionaI work Another point raised was
that a great many of the students who
wish to enter the university are girls,
and in order to attain the required
standard they overdo themselves at a
period when their health should be
most carefully protected.
Professor Clark of Lowell High
School, who spoke on Units of High
School Work" held the same general
ideas He said that since 1899 the Uni
versity of California has defined its en-
trance subjects as units, the unit be-
ing five recitations a week for a year

high school, as he considers the univer-
sity should be content with specifying
the material in it's entrance subjects
and the high school free to determine
the work. The present system, he said,
leads the high schools to place work
before scholars when they are untitled
for it.
Some interesting facts and figures
were brought out by Joseph O'Connor,
principal of the Mission High School; in
his address on High School Teachers
Salaries" He compared the salaries of
the teacher with those paid the me-
chanic and showed by figures that the
man who earns his bread by the sweat
of his brow is better paid than the pro-
