The most noteworthy trait of the
Presidents communication to Congress
is its lack of candor This is defect
the country did not expect in public
document from Mr.. Roosevelt, who,
whatever his faults, has been believed
TO possess the courage of his convic-
lions. The unfortunate predicament In
which the temperament of the execu-
tive places him in relation to recent
events at the Isthmus of Panama has
led him, doubtless unconsciously, into
suppressing some of the essentials of
his course therein and into perverting
ascertainable truths connected with 1t.
Mr.. Roosevelt has adopted the
Froudean method of historical compo-
sition. Between quotation marks that
partisan annallst plnced his interpreta-
tion of number of British state pa
pers, publishing his Interpretation as
the letter Of the cited document. A
plodding student spent time enough
amid the cobwebs of the archives to
place certified copy of the cited doc
uments In parallel columns with what
Mr.. Froude represented them. The dis
crepancy inspired the Saturday Review
to remark that Mr.. Fr5ude did not know
the significance of quotation marks.
Mr.. Roosevelt has not employed quo
tatlon marks. But what he conveys In
his message as the treaty between
New Granada, now Colombia, and the
JYv,ftesd gfotao In y0lQ will not co f,l,,
suffer being parallel columned with the
text of that instrument. Mr. Roosevelt

Arizona Scientist Found Nothing
Elee Would Grow In His Garden.
A business enterprise of novel
and unique nature has been built up
in the neighborhood Of Phoenix, Ariz.,
and though not large enough to at
tract great deal Of attention, 1t is
being carried on successfully from a
financial point Of view, says the New
York Herald.
Nearly everybody who has lived in
Phoenix long is acquainted with DR..
r. q. Kunze, better known locally as
1.-THE Bug Catcher" DIR. Kunze takes
to scientific things as duck takes to
water, and came here few years
ago from New York. Noting the many
bugs. butterflies and insects that are
rarely found in other parts, he began
to systematically and industriously
collect them and send them to eastern
collectors, schools, ETC., and 1t is I'M
derstood that his work was pleasingly
remunerative, for he knew first how
to catch and preserve his specimens
and next how to classify them.
Finally he bought a little piece of
ground down near the river, mile
south Of Washington street, on 7th
avenue, intending to plant an orch
ard. He tried faithfully for a year
or two. but with poor success. He
found the soil in that locality was
worthless for fruit trees and the few
that did grow were sickly lot.
1t then occurred to him that If he
could not raise anything he could grow
cacti, SO he went into that business.
Now he has a cacti nursery and is
making money QUITO of it. He sup.
plies local people when they want cac.
ii for decorative purposes, but Ills
main business is in the large eastern
cities, and in Europe. He has been
sending plants to Germany for the
last four years. and last spring he
made shipment Of about 5000
pounds.
DR.. Kunze knows as much about
cact as he does about bugs. and when
he meets new variety he prizes II
as a prospector does promising gold
ledge. He now has plants from all
over the southwest, Arizona particu.
larry. One variety he goes clear to
the Mexican line for and can find II
nowhere else.

A Chinese Auction.

The Celestial always seems to do
things differently from other nations
and men. Perhaps nowhere is this
more apparent than Mt an auction sale
in China. To stranger 1t is most
curious spectacle. 1t is quiet, SOL
emn proceeding, perfect silence being
preserved the whole time. In this
particular it is unlike the noise and
confusion that usually reigns on like
occasions in this part of the world.
The auctioneer leans over slightly
elevated counter and exhibits his
wares. He says nothing, either does
the bidder, who merely steps forward
to the auctiOneer and runs his fingers
up his sleeve, making pressures on
the salesman's arm, indicating in this
manner how much he is willing to nav
for the article. Then another and
another repeat the action until the
one signifying the highest price re-
ceives the article without a word be.
ing exchanged on either side. Only
the auctioneer and the successful bid
der know the price offered and accent
ed The opportunity for favorltism
in this method is apparent, and doubt
less is often acted upon.

may now draw off the SKINNED milk

still, have the fresh milk run through

still necessary for the farm boy or
some patient dog or shep to churn

butter factories it is, OF course, neces-
sary to provide power churn for
this work, but until the introduction
of electricity on the farm on an ex-

to operate all the machinery, a power
churn would prove too costly for the

BIG FIND OF INDIAN RELICS.

A Mound Burial Place in the Tusca-
rora Reservation Discloses Them.
What is believed to be the biggest
Indian barrow or burial pit of Huron
or Iroquois origin ever found has been
discovered by John Mackay, a local
archaeologist, and Samuel Johnson, a
full-blooded Tuscarora, on the Tusca-
rora reservation about four miles back
from the Niagara River ut Lewiston,
above the old Ridge road.
The place is the old plateau, known
in Indian annals as Kienuku. This
was thoroughly explored by School
craft, who thought Kienuka an i'm
portant Indian fortress, ball ground
and storehouse. Schoolcraft found
two elliptical burrows then. but miss
ed the important one just opened.
Most of the Huron burial pits con-
tain about thirty skulls. This contain
ed 2T2 skulls and vast number of
bones. Besides the skulls were found
four brass kettles, four big stone pipes,
5000 beads. shell ornaments and
pieces of wampum, twenty-five iron
axes, many rings and two swords.
The axes and some of the beads show
the barrow to be not more than 200
years old. The beads which show this
are known to collectors as Jesuit
beads, being rounder and containing
more colors than those of Indian man
ufacture.
The Tuscaroras came to their pres
ent reservation In 1881, Immediately
after Sulllyan's raid upon the Six Ma
tons. They are sure the mound has
nothing to do with their own history.
1t is undoubtedly Of Huron origin.
The Hurons brought their dead to
designated places for burial, often
waiting several years for the number

The manner in which Gordon Nc
Kay. Of Boston. and William L. Elkins,

Trainmen pass rigid examination
to ascertain whether or not they are
color-blind. It is fortunate that ad-
mission to no profession or occupa-
ton is conditioned on our being free
from beauty blindness. Years ago
Lowell wrote two lines in the big
low Papers" which made certain
young disciple Of the poet blush at her
own ignorance.
Red cedars blossom, tn, though few folks
know 1t,
An look oil dipt in sunshine like poet
Sure enough. red cedars do blossom
every spring! In the inimitable Gran
ford" Mr.. Holbrook bursts forth to his
guests: ''Now what color are ash
buds in March? What color are they,
say7" "I'm sure don't know, sir"
said the visitor. II knew you didn't.
No more did Ian old fool that am!
till this young Mr.. Tennyson comes
and tells me. Black as ash-buds in
March. And I've lived all my life in
the country. More shame for me not
to know! Black; they are jet-black,
MADAME 1t would be easy to add
other instances to prove that half the
world is beauty-bllnd. How many
of us know that shadows on the snow
are blue. Or that the sunset has
sometimes the green light that Cole
ridge saw? Or
That moon-shadows from the swayins
limb
Here are sharp and there are dim?
OF course q sense for beauty is often
dependent upon sense for color, and
for these lighter touches Of Dame Ma
ture keen observation is needed that
we may really taste the pleasure they
walt to give. To live among the
beauties of the world and to be blind
to them is as pathetic as to perish Of
thirst In sight of a clear, cool spring.
That we do not know we are thirsty
only deepens the tragedy.

Ruseeof a Young Husband, Who Not

q After the last old shoe had fallen on
top Of their carriage the bride looked
up tenderly into the proud young
mans eyes and said:
II feel awfully nervous and silly. It
will be so horrid to have everybody
staring at US and whispering that we
are just married. Let's act as If we
had been married long, long time. SO

But I'm proud of it, he said, slip
ping an arm around her and drawing
her lovingly close to him. I'D like to
stand on housetop somewhere, dar-
ling, and shout 30 that all the world
could hear 1t that you are mine-my
very own-my sweet, adorable, beauti-
full, superb wife. 1t won't do any
good to try to fool them. They'll all
know 1t the minute they see us. I
couldn't keep from looking happy, no
matter how hard tried. But leave
1t to me. I'll FIX 1t SO they won't stare
at us or whisper about u.s."
After the train had started Arthur
looked up the conductor and had a
short conference with him., Then the
proud groom returned to his wife, and
the official, standing ut one end Of the
car. said, waving hand towas the
happy couple:
Ladies and gentlemen, i Ia re-.
quested to announce that they have
just been married They are anxious
to have 1t understood that they are
not at all ashamed Of themselves. and
they don't propose to pretend that they
are old stagers. / thank you one and
all for your kind attention."
After their fellow travellers had all
stepped forward and shaken hands
with and congratulated them the men
crowded into the smoking car and
the women turned their backs, and
