MONEY NEEDED BY
STATE UNIVERSITY

Denver Feb 10.-The board of re-
gents of the State University have just
issued to the Legislature a supple
mentary statement of needs for the
ensuing biennial period, in which they
ask to have the one-fifth mill levy in
creased to two-fifths. or in lieu thereof
an appropriation of at least $l50000.
President Baker states that it Is now
costing 100000 per year for the mere
running expenses of the institution,
and that the one-tifth of mill now re-
ceived from the state provides little
more than half that amount.
The regents state that the following
improvements are needed at the uni
versity:
The Grit-advocate., 1903-02-13

The university IS sadly IN need OF a
suitable auditorium. The very dimnu-
tive chapel now in use will not seat the
students. The statement asks the
members of the Legislature to remem-
Der that the university now consists
of six schools, each of which has
large claim for support. The Univer-
sity of Nebraska receives one mill for
support, in addition to $40 900 annually
received from the United States gov
ernment for the support of its agri-
cultural department. The University
OF Kansas is asking the state Legisla-
ture for two-thirds of a mill"

A CaIifornin DOE Hero.

From California comes a tale of q heroic rescue by dog. During a for est fire which ragged along the border between Yuba and Butte counties, Bruno, a Great Dane dog, fought his way through the flames bearing in his jaws the living body of 3-year-old Flor ence Rogers. The parents of the child, when the alarm of fire was given, has tened to assist neighbors, leaving lit tie Florence on the kitchen floor. When the wind shifted Rogers and his wife rushed for their home, but when they reached the clearing it was to see the barn in a blaze. Rogers tlied to get to the house, but was restrained Just then Bruno burst through the kitchen window with the child, her garments knotted in his teeth. The baby's clothes gave way as the deg landed, but in an instant he had her again in grip and reached safety. The child's face and hands were cut and burned, but she recovered.

THE SPIDERS WAY OUT.
Little Insect Showed So Much InteI- ligence That Its CaptOr Re-
 stored It to Liberty.

A close observer never has to travel away from home for entertainment and instruction. One bright-eyed young l person, who had grown tired of read ing, tells in an English paper how he found a spider an interesting play mate.
 1 took a washbowl and fastened up a stick in it like a vessels mast, and then poured in water enough to turn the mast into an island for my spider, whom 1 named Crusoe, and put on the mast. As soon as he was fairly cast away, he anXiously commenced run ming around to find the mainland. He'd scamper down the mast to the water, stick out foot, get it wet, shake it., run round the stick and try the other side, and then run back to the top again.
 Pretty soon it became a serious mat ter to MT. Robinson and he sat down to think over it. As in moment, he acted as if he were going to shout for boat, and as if he were afraid he was going to be hungry, I put molasses on the stick. A fly came. but Crusoe wasn't hungry for flies just then. He was homesick for his web in the corner of the woodshed. He went slowly down the pole to the water and touched it all round, shaking his feet like pussy when she vets her stockings in the grass. Suddenly thought seemed to strike him. Up he went like rocket to the top, and commenced playing circus. He held one foot in the air, then another, snd turned round two or three times.
 He became excited and nearly stood on his head before found out what he knew, and that was this: that the draught of air made by the fire would carry line ashore on which he could escape from his desert island. He pushed out 6 web that went floating in the air until it caught on the table. Then he hauled on the rope until it was tight, struck it several times to see if it were strong enough to hold him, and walked ashore.
 thought he had earned his liberty, so l put him back in the wood shed again.

 The blw<bo K will give the names of 2,ooo posting masters in Illinois who held offce during the last Cleveland ad1ninfstration. It will give the naz1ss of all other office-holders, and each one of them must have been a democrat of some consequence, to have secured an office. Each one of those office-holders must be com municated with, either directly or in directly. He must be assured that if he will get out and hustle and work for Olney he can again be post master, or held some other office equally good. Now, unless Mir. Hearst, or MT. Cleveland, or some other candidate will get in ahead of him, MT. Olney can form quite a strong army of politicians who can control the next state convention

HOMEMADE THEATER.
With This Boys and Girls Can Have More Fun Than With Any Other
 COntrivance.

Lots and lots of our readers delight in playing theater. Here is an op- portunity to build one at no cost, as everything needed can be found around the house.
 Take large wooden soap box and, after removing the cover, take a crosscut saw and saw, through the bottom of the box about 9Zs inches carefully and fit it inside of the box, at right angles to the sawed front, to form the floor of the stage. Cut out the end which is now the top of your toy theater, leaving but strip along the front.
 Take a strip of this removed piece and tack it to the front of the box, a little bit below the level of the stage.
 The next thing is the curtain. Hunt around until you find an old shade roller, some twine and a piece of red or green cloth. Cut the roller the ex- act width of the box. Then cut the cloth so that half an inch of roller will show on each side, tack one end to the top of the box. Wind the twine around the ends of the roller, leading the twine from each end up and over smooth tacks driven into the top of the theater. These lines should be operated from one side and serve to pull the curtain up and down.
 Now comes the making of the foot lights and proscenium. Paste draw ing paper on stiff cardboard and get father or mother to follow the de- sign in the drawing or carry out their own ideas, using soft pencil for the outlines and filling in the

French Yonngster Furnishes an Idea Which Our Own Boys May

While crude in construction, cu- rious and useful little carriage was re- gently built by French boy. He WAS staying with his mother at seaside resort and one day, after watching a yacht skim over the water, it occurred to him that person could travel very comfortably on land by attaching a sail to carriage.

Four Thousand Godfathers.

Princess Irene of Prussia is better provided for in the matter of god fathers than is any other woman in the world. She can boast of 4,0OO god fathers, and how she came to obtain so many is pretty story. When she was born the war of 1866 was drawing to an end, and peace being concluded just at the time of her christening, her father, Prince Henry of Hesse, re- quested all the officers and men of the regiments under his command to stand godfather to his little daughter, whom he named Irene fPeace) in com. memoration of the end of the war.

of which had never before been seen in France.
 To the box he simply fastened a mast and double triangular sail. There happened to be a good wind when his work was done, and it carried him and his carriage for a great distance
 Any boy can make little land yacht of this kind, all that he needs being four wheels, which he can obtain with out much trouble, an old soap box, a strip of canvas or calico and a stout stick, which is to serve as a mast. When there is any wind he will find land sail decidedly pleasant-N.l Y. Herald.

DELVING FOR POWER
Political Moles of Both Parties Are
 Busily at Work.
How Successful Presidential Boom As Created, Expanded and Trans formed Into Potent
 Reality.
Especial Washington Letter.

TIME political moles are purrow- o'
 ing deep down beneath the
 presidential pastures, where they would not be discoverea' nor suspected, but for the worK or lnlm- ical political ferrets. They are unlike the coyotes and gophers who dorado the surface sward, but delve far, far below.
 One .nf the wonder-workers in the political world is the senior senator from Ohio, the man who from cb- scurity stepped into national fame %earlv in 1896 as the manager of the Mckinley campaign for nomination. The old-time politicians thought that he could soon be disposed of; but they found that for three years Mark Hanna had been burrowing for dele gates to the national convention. l oliticians do not rest during the Lenten season, nor for any other season. They are not primarily re- ligious, although some of them are nicely veneered with churchly in-go- ings and out-comings. Primarily, they are self-seeking and ambitious, ready to sacrifice others, even good friends, for their own advancement. The most successful of them are al ways burrowing for future prefer 1hents.
 1 Senator Davis, of Minnesota, once shid to the narrator: T went to church this morning, just for a few minutes. I sat up last night until after midnight thinking over the ap- plicants for an office. Having con- cluded that a certain man should have preferment I .wer1 peu and slept as cal = IAaiSs as a child. After late h,sanfaFsf this morning I lighted cigar and took walk. Just as 1 was passing a church, memory called up d picture of my first election to the senate. One of the candidates for office had sacrificed great deal for me at that time, and 1 remembered having said If ever you need friend, rely on Cush Davis.' And yet, because another had seemed to me 10 be of greater future value, l had made up my mind to turn that friend coldly down. I went into church, stayed until the conclusion of service, came home and concluded to have my former helpful friend appointed. So, you see, once in awhile conscience will make even politician do the right thing"
 We'll, while ambitious men are bur- rowing for the presidency, all of them are denying their ambition. Senator Hanna, the greatest burrow- CT of them all, keeps gravely quiet and affects indifference to the quest. But there are surface indications which point to his ambition in that direction. An old politician here to- day called the attention of the writer to one very interesting fact. He said: Do you remember that last Oc- tober the physicians informed Sena- tor Hanna that he must quit politics and go to bed, because of danger from heart failure? We'll, what did Hanna do? He went home for only

READY FOR THE PLAY.

After this is done tack the cardboard upright to the strip in front of the stage, bending them back and tacking them to the top. Tack the painted footlights to the front strip, high enough to hide any roughness of the stage. After designing and painting the arch, cut out along the outline and fasten it to strips of wood nailed to the top of the stage and jutting out as far as the strip along the footlights.
 The scenery for the little tbeater has now to be made. Get old card board boxes, and take the large flat pieces, cutting them to the desired size and cover them with white paper. If you want a wood scene outline the trunks and branches with a heavy pencil, or india ink, filling in the fo- liage with water colors, permitting each color tc dry before applying an- other.
 Interiors, farm houses or sea scenes can be cut out of old maga- zines and pasted on.
 After this is all done, your curtain in good working order and scenery in place, get out your toy soldiers, form them into groups-or, put your tin boats behind the paper waves with their paper and paint scene be- hind it. One little boy who had this theater built for him had two sets of scenery one of the woods and one of the sea.
 His first tableau was "A Storm at Sea-" using tin ship and his sea scenery. Tableau two was called At the Station," showing a company of toy soldiers ready to enter an iron train, toy blocks were used to build the station. Tableau three he called 'The Holdup in the Woods" the same little train being stopped by a toy man with his gun at his shoulder ready to fire.
 This will give you an idea of the fun you can have with this home made theater, and from these few ideas can be created an unlimited number of plays or tableaux that fill in many a stormy holiday or long winter evening. -BroSklyn Eagle.

a couple of days, and then appeared on the hustings in Indiana to help his friend Senator Fairbanlls; and he was so weak that he was obliged to quit speaking in the midst of one Of bis addresses. What did he make that effort for in Indiana?"
 But the chief borrowers are on the other political side, and all of them seem to believe that the democratic presidential nomination will Ee worth striving for next year. Sena. or Cor a@ of Maryland who is close to

 Now you would like to know how this burrowing is done. It is a great game, and is very well understood in this center of politics as we'll as of statecraft The stimulus for all poli- ticians is the federal patronage. Every political worker wants an office.
 There is a blue book published by the national government every two years, and it contains lists of all of athe federal office-holders, even down to the lowliest and lowest-paid, The big politicians employ little poli- ticians to take up certain parts of this. blue book, and go to work on Al. |.
