There is report current in Washing
ton that President Roosevelt will deal
with divorce and the need of more uni
form divorce laws throughout the land
in his forthcoming annual message TO
Congress. Many prominent persons have
talked with him on the subject. DistiH-
guished clergymen have sought his aid
tc influence sentiment toward the cur
tailment of hurry-up divorce statutes. o.
course, divorce laws are matter on
State legislation, and the federal gov
erIment has nothing TO do with them.
But the President, it is argued by some
interested persons, might easily take adj
vantage Of the prominence recently given
this subject to touch upon it in his an
nual message and to express at least the
hope that there might be a national ten
dcncy toward restriction Of divorce laws,
which are now a temptation for many to
seek relief from the married state.

As a result Of the report Of Cen. Bris-

Office scandals, influential heads have
been dropping into the basket Of late.
-Four men were dismissed from the gov

bureau, charged with making false aft
dayits and attempting to obtain money

Important reductions in the total pay
ments for pensions are not to be expect
ed for five years, according to Major
Thomas D. Yeager, acting private secre-
tary to Commissioner of Pensions Ware.
The Civil War pension ROLL he says, is
slowly diminishing, but the total
amounts paid will not be greatly lessen
ed for about five years. This is due to
the back pensions, which make up what
is lost by the deaths of men already on
the rolls. The commissioner estimates
that there are at present 100000 Union
soldiers who have not applied for pen
sions, but these men are rapidly making
applications, and the amounts paid them
are sufficient to hold the pension figures
at about the same level 1t is estimat-
ed that at the end of FIVE years this 'un-
known army of men who have not APP
Piled Tor pensions will be about 10000
strong, and at the end of ten years it
will cease to be an appreciable factor.
Tie end of the decade should see rapid
decrease in total payments, unless new
legislation is adopted The Grand Army
of the Republic has already adopted res
outions calling for an extension of the
pension SySleilt uuu II NoheASSS t"iNNo
favorable action on the resolution, it will
be hard to tell when the total amount
for Civil War pensions will decline to
any important extent.

President Roosevelt is now 40 years
old. Mr. Roosevelt received many re-
! minders of the event. From various
parts of the country came letters and
kilograms of congratuation. At his
forty-fifth birthday President Roosevelt
finds himself in perfect health. He has
learned how to get through an enormous
amount of work with the greatest possi-
BILE ease. During the first year of his
presidency he expended good deal Of
unnecessary vitality upon small matters
Members of his cabinet warned him that
| this government was too big machine
! for any one man to attempt to deal with
! all its parts and details. For a long time
! the President insisted on giving his per-
/ sonal attention to routine matters. Now
| he knows how 70 pass over administra-
tive details which do not properly belong
to his office, and to refer them to his
subordinates in the various departments.
Mr.. Roosevelt is the youngest President
| the country ever had, and consequently
! the only one who ever celebrated his
forty-ffth birthday in the White House.

cabbage, insuring a large per cent Of
the local crop, which was unusually
heavy this year, finding a ready mar
ket Growers are receiving so cents

CAMPAIGN TRICKS.
How Mr.. May Won Out Over His Op-
ponent But Subsequently Lost
the Diamond Pin.

Two candidates for the legislature
We're stamping the district together
in a series of joint debates. One man
was a plain country doctor the other
a Mr.. May. a person of more preten-
tiOus appearance, fond of jeWelry, and
noticeable for a large diamond stud
that blazoned upon his shirt front
rivals were making a sharp but not
ilI-natured canvass. How Mr.. May
carried the election is thus related:
At one gathering the doctor made
the following fierce and dangerous
thrust at his opponent:
Fellow citizens, don't you want an
honest man in the Legislature? OF
course you do. Now, what sort of
man is my opponent? Why. gentle
men, look at that magnificent diamond
bright as the headlight of a locomo-
tive. 1t is worth hundreds-maybe
ousands-of dollars. At what val
uatiOn do you suppose he has put it
in for taxation in his return to the
state assessor? Why at the pitiful
sum of twenty dollars"
The crowd yelled for the doctor.
Three days later the two men met
in joint debate. Again the doctor took
up his telling theme, and held forth
citation of dishonesty and diamonds
and false assessments, and then he
again told of Mays return to the as
SCISSOR. Look at that gorgeous pin,
gentlemen! My eyes can hardly en-
dure its dazzling rays. Solomon in
all his glory
Hold there, DOCTOR" said May, do
you mean to say this pin is worth
more than twenty doIlars.''
Yes, 1 do-twenty times or fifty
times twenty dollars,"
Would you give twenty dorrals fer
it, doctor?"
"Of course I would"
We'll, you can have it for that
All right said the doctor, and he
hurriedly counted out the money and
tooh lllt pm. 1Htll May rose " Spedh
and the crowd cheered him. He was
undoubtedly game" and honest He
was willing to take what he said the
pin was worth. He was elected.
A week after the election he called
upon the doctor and said, Doctor,
don't want to rob you of your money
Here is your twenty dollars. That
pin you bought was paste. I got it in
Louisville, after your first speech
Here is my real diamond. If l car
ever serve you, let me know"

BLACKSMITH MAY BECOME RICH
Everett Man Patents Rail Joint

finished article proves as satisfactory
as the working model, then J. w Don
ovan, a blacksmith with the Northern
Lumber company, stands in hand to
become a very rich man, for he has
just patented an invention which he
calls a patent rail joint which rail-
road men say is the finest arrange
ment of the kind ever placed on the
market.
This patent rail joint" is enclosed
in a solid casing of steel covering Doth
sides and the under surface Of the
rails This steel is spiked to the ties.
The rail itself is held rigid by par
alel wedge regulated at one end by a
nut, which, when frightened. closes the
wedge, securely against the rail- 1t IS

fore the convention.
The mayoraIty contest is still in a
muddled condition with the friends Of
n. J. Craigue and \. \. Brodeck rival
candidates, all confident of success in
the convention. The city marshal
ship is beginning to cut some figure in
the general disturbance, and it is said
that exSheriff Zimmerman and ex-
Marshal Collins are warming up for
the final heat. At the present rate
the registration will be the heaviest
recorded since the city was incorpor-
ated.

will eliminate. to a large extent, the
wearing of rail ends. and free the trav-
cling public of that disagreeable click
ing caused by the wheels striking the
high rail ends. If this theory holds
good in practice the wear and tear on
rolling stock will be decidedly lessen
ed.
A further advantage is the ease with
which the patent rail joint Is adjust
ed. Rail joints now in use necessitate
six bolts being frightened. With the
Donovan device only one bolt will be
used.
Attorney Bostwick, who owns one
fourth interest in the invention has
shipped the model east for final per-
lection. No plans have been made
for manufacturing the patent joint.

ARE HURLED DOWN MOUNTAIN
Three Railroad Laborers Fall Nearly

laborers, Tom Carlson, Herman John
ston and Chris Sator, working at AL
vim, on the Great Northern line, were
hurled down the mountain side a dis
lance of almost 200 feet striking
against a stone wall beneath the rail-
road bridge at the bottom. All three
were badly injured. and it was at first
thought that Johnston was hurt inter-
nally, but that proved not to be the
case.
The men were employed by John
Dalquest, contractor, who is filling in
a Great Northern bridge at Alvin,
which is a small sidetrack west Of
Wellington. They were standing on
a platform, on the side of the noun
tain, drilling, when for some reason
1t gave way, throwing them down the
mountain. They were brought to
Everett on a special train and taken
to the hospital.
1t was found that Sator, besides Sc
rious cuts and bruises, had fractured
his right elbow. Carlson was suffering
from a badly bruised hip, a deep cut
on his right cheek, and several minor
injuries. Two fingers of Johnsons
right hand had to be amputated. The
