Few great men have paid more en-
thusiastic tributes to their wives than
Tom Hood, says the Denver Times.
"You will think" he wrote to her in
one Of his letters, that am more
foolish than any boy lover, and plead
guilty. For never was a wooer so
young Of heart and 50 STEPPED in love
as I, but 1t is a love sanctined and
strengthened by long years Of expert
ence. May God ever bless my darling
the sweetest, most helpful angel who
ever stopped to bless man."

thorne wrote to his wife many years
after his long patience had won for him
the flower that was lent from heaven
to show the possibilities Of the human
SOUL" "Thou art the only person in
the world that ever was necessary TO
me. And now am only myself when
thou art within my reach"

his cousin, ''the phantom Of delight"

excellent figure and was witty and
magnetic. Before a day had passed
all the single men and. half the mar
ried ones were determined to get an
Introduction as soon as possible. In
two or three days she had been intro
duced to every arst class passenger Of
the sterner sex, and during the next
two or three she picked and culled IN.

crowd numbered about fifteen men.
Twelve Of these were young men or
widowers, while the remainder were
married men whose wives were in Eng
land or India. 1t was the money crowd
Of the ship.
When the ship had been out about
a week cards were lnaugurated to
while away the spare hours. 1t was
a matter Of surprise to. every one, as
soon as the playing got fairly started,
that Miss Flemming was SO adept with
the pasteboards and had such universal
good luck. She handled the cards like
the sllckest gambler, and the jackpots
came her way with wonderful regular
ity. On two or three occasions she
manipulated the cards in such way
that had she been man she would
have been called down, but as 1t was
she wal, given the benefit Of the doubt.

JIM HILLS TAXES,

The board Of equalization at
St Paul has raised Jim
Hills personal assessment from
$4,000 to $4,000 That is
only taste of what Hill
would have to- face if his railroad
lines were assessed in accordance
with their earning value and the mar
ket value of their stock. 1t is to
prevent any such readjustment of
valuations that Hill is seeking TO
placate the farmers of Washington
by granting them slight reductions
in freight rates. So long as the far
mer is willing TO serve as the beast
of burden to carry the greater part
Of the load Of taxation, the railroad
magnates can afford to give him a
little SOD once in a while in the shape
of a nominal reduction in his freight
bills. AS Governor Mcbride has
pointed out, the railroads in this
state pay only about one-tenth of the
taxes that they should pay, and in or
der to avoid paying the other nine
tenths they are ready TO spend thou
sands of dollars in electing their tools
to the legislature.
For the purpose of hypnotizing the
farmers with smooth words and plau-
sible arguments Hill will hold another
conference with them in Whitman
county within a few weeks. He will
quote figures and statistics by the
yard to prove that his railroad is a
great philanthropic enterprise op-
Grated solely for the public good and
the average farmer will be complete
iy overwhelmed by the apparent
truth and force of Hills statements
A few speeches eulogistic of Hill will
be made by certain granger politicians
in the service Of the corporations and
the impression will be given out that
great harmony meeting has been
held.
If this state had a railroad commits
sion every farmer would be armed
with facts and figures from the re
cords to combat the arguments Of
Hill and his confreres and there would
be something doing if such con
ference were held

had Bristow's confrmatory report in
his desk.
Mr.. Roosevelt highly approves of
Payne and heartily indorses"
Payne's course throughout the social
ed investigations. Mr.. Payne pleaded
i'll health and Mr. Mark Hanna and
several others high in the machine
councils refused to entertain the idea
of being forsaken by such a compe-
tent politician in such a crisis
While Mr.. Roosevelt was on his
western junket it was pointed out
that upon his return to Washington
he must take a positive stand either
for or against Payne: the country
wished to know how the president
stood. If he decided to manifest a
vigorous hand in inaugurating and
supervising a sweeping investigation.
that would necessitate casting Payne
off; amounting to a confession that
the administrations affairs had been
weakly handled and would reflect
somewhat upon Roosevelts Judgment
perhaps it would occasion inquiry
as to the real reason for appointing
to post of such responsibility man
with nothing specially to recommend
him, except, perhaps, wonderful skill
as practical politician.
Mr.. Roosevelt has not fulfilled the
country's expectations. People
watched his return to Washington
with an interest amounting to mild
excitement, hoping that he would
come down heavily upon the situation
and prove himself the vigorous re-
former. But he has apparently done
nothing except confer with Payne
and both expressly and implicitly to
indorse Paynes methods. He has
virtually championed Payne and de-
Tended him against public opinion;
the significance of which lies in the
fact that either Payne must be con-
sidered to have acted under instruc-
ton in his policy of sneering and
suppression, or that the administra-
ton subsequently accepts all re-
sponsibility for that policy, ratifying
and adopting it as it's own.

for favor, advertising it's corporation

The Delaware corporation, it is in
timated confdentially, may hold
meetings and keep it's books outside
of the state-which cannot be done

and is imposed only on the amount of
capital actually paid in.
