HORSES IN DEMAND.

Breeding horses for market is now
the aim of the great majority of farm
ers who raise horses of draft, harness
or saddle class, says the Live Stock
Journal. Formerly everybody raised
horses to suit their own whimsical
ideas for general purpose horses. We
still have several million of these no.
class horses, which the markets do
not want, but horsemcn are eagerly
the market over for good
drafters, fine coachers and saddlers. at
higher prices than ever known be-
fore.
That is certainly the situation The
"no-class" horses are likely to be a
drug on the market, while good
draft horses, the coach and sad
die classes, are not in supply for the
demand. 1t is well for horse breeders
to keep these facts of the market in
mind.

the president for making no conceal
ment of the perfectly justifable de-
sire to succeed himself.
AS to the Republicans criticism
that the presidents exhibition of a
wish to succeed himself cannot be
considered characteristic of the
strongest natures" an examination of
our history will show that some men
of very strong nature have shown an
intense longing for the presidency and
very earnestly sought to attain that
great honor. Such men, for example,
as Webster and Clay and Douglass
aspired to the presidency and did not
hesitate to let the fact be known.
while Jackson and others sought a
second term. Abraham Lincoln let
it be known that he desired a renomi-
nation and planned in every legiti-
mate way to secure it. If Mr.. Roose-
welt has been somewhat more frank
and straightforward than his predeces-
sors generally in the presidency in
asking the endorsement of his party,
it is in our judgment entirely credita-
BILE to him and certainly cannot rea-
sonably be regarded as undignifed or
improper.
Nor will it be so regarded by those
people who have faith in the integrity,
the courage and the high sense of duty
of President Roosevelt. His nominal
tion is already assured and we do not
believe that his having frankly ex-
pressed desire for it will have any
effect unfavorable to him upon the
voters of the country.

About President Roosevelt's denomination

What halo of romance, courage,
endurance, intrepidity and whole
heartedness this man is weaving into
his lifc's history. Born of millionaire
parents, scions Of arstocrats If there
are such in America, the vim and
adventure of the old Viking courses
through every vein and thrills every
nerve. He ploddcd through college,
dropped its shackels and hailed the
mighty west for his temporary home.
He passes from the free life and stir
ing adventures of cowboy to ma
TONS commercial metropolis to wrestle
with its sin and crime and put them
under curb. He enters the Navy de-
partment, imparting his bold spirit to
those charged with the work of con-
structing a nations resistless navy.
He responds to the stirring call to un-
loose the naughty Spainard's grip
from the throat of Cuba's suffering
millions. He plows through the stony
fields of red tape and at the head of
his gallant Rough Riders places fresh
immortelles in the crown of Ameri-
can valor. Made governor of New
York, forced against his will into the
vice presidency, the black heart and
red hand of an assassin make him
president.
And he Is president. Such a pres

CHINESE IN HAWAII.
There Is No white Labor for Them
to Compete with and They Are
wanted by Planters.

Senator Burton, of Kansas, favors
the admission of Chinese labor into
Hawaii. Apparently his colleagues
on the committee which went to in
yestigate conditions in the Hawaiian
islands agree with him that the adj
mission Of Chinese under proper re-
strietions is necessary to the welfare
Of the territory, says the Chicago
Tribune. The American sugar plant
ers have been claiming that this was
the case ever since the government of
the Hawaiian republic restricted the
importation of Chinese labor. At first
japanese were imported in such num-
bers that the males of that race be-
came as numerous as the males of all
the other races in the islands, and the
whites became alarmed at the posi-
bility of their conquest by Japan.
Portuguese were brought in, but were
hardly satisfactory. After the annex
alton of the little republic to the
| United States the contract labor laws
stopped this traffic, and labor was
brought from Porto Rico. The Porto
Ricans were the poorest of all. The
natives will not work. The Portu-
guese are going into trade, and the
price Of japanese labor has gone up
so much that planting is no longer
profitable. According to the plant
ers. the only relief left them is Chi
nese labor.
Conditions in Hawaii differ greatly
from those in the United States, or
two senators from the Pacific slope
Foster and Mitchell-would never
have come to the conclusion they are
said to have reached. The great argu,
ment against the admission of Chinese
to this country is that they win lower
the standard of living wherever they
come into competition with white la
Dor. It is sound argument. But
in Hawaii and the Philippines there i.
no white labor for the Chinese TO com
pete with. The standard of living o.
the Filipino is as low as or lowe
than that of the Chinese. SO If con
gress can be convinced that the re
stricted admission Of the Chinese I,
Hawaii will not tend to make it cas-
Ter for them to evade exclusion law
enacted to keep them out of this coun
try it is not impossible that tn,
, prayer of the Hawaiian planters 70
/, labor viii be listened to.

LIGHT FOR THE FISHES.
BASS Caught nj Dusk by the A'u "
Phosphoreseent Bob
Made of Cork.

For catching bass at dusk the fof
lowing plan is sometimes tried in
the upper part Of the state Inc
fisherman anchors in comparatively
deep water outside the lily pads
lie rigs an extra rod and attaches
nine-foot leader to the end OF the
line. AT the end of the leader he
ties a heavy sinker. and about i've
feet above the sinker a large bob
or piece Of cork, which has previous
ly received a heavy coat of phos-
phorus, SAYS the New York sun.
without hook or bait he casts this
line well in toward the pads, the line
being held in place at the surface ~
a second cork.
The line is reeled out, and the rod
laid on the side Of the boat Then
selecting a lively minnow he bats
his casting rod and drops the min
now within a foot OF TWO Of the
other line He then lights his pipe
and awaits Developments. From
time 20 time as the minnow swims
away from the lure new cast IA
made.
The explanation Of the success OF
this plan of catching bass is that the
fish are attracted by the phosphor
escent bob and in swimming aroun.
il find the bait The plan has proved
successful when small frogs or craw
fish we're used instead of minnows.
An inventive genius, who first saw
the lure in use at Upper ST. Regi
lake, sent TO New York for bat
terry, waterproof wire and groun'
glass electric bulbs. For some rea
son the elaborate apparatus was no
a success.
Those who made the experiment
say the lure is equally effective whel
used IN trolling. For this purpos
the lure is made of cork or Ugh
pine. Il is attached 10 the line abou
ten feet in front Of the hooks.

BAMBOO FOR IHE WORLD.
a1most Unlimited supply I'm the Phil
Ippines-some OF Its Many
Uses.

D IL. in the course of human events,
II ever happens that the Philippine
islands should become sovereign
state, part Of or independent Of the
United States, it needs no great
stretch Of the Imagination 70 prophe-
sy that its emblem will be the stately
and useful bamboo tree, which is so
beloved of ali the Filipinos, says the
Detroit Free Press.
To the visitor first viewing the is
lands from the deck of an incoming
ship. the towering bare trunks Of the
bamboo, canopied with its tufted top
of light, feathery plumes, thatrespond
with languorous, graceful waves TO
even the softest breeze, make the
most noticeable feature of the land
scape.
Not only is it met with in the wild
state everywhere, but the natives sur
round their houses, usually built en-
tirely of the bamboo with cultivated
groves of the trees, it, barrenness OF
trunk up to almost itseXtreme height,
exceeding GO feet in some cases, and
its broad spreading top making 1t
the most desirable shade tree on the
islands But while its use for shade
purposes is fully appreciated, the
bamboo is put to many more practical
uses.
Whole villages, varying as to struc-
ture from the smallest hut up to the
large and architecturally ambitious
church edifces, are built of the split
trunk of these giant trees. The wood
is tough, pliable, and elastic, and
houses built Of it u native experts
have been known TO withstand the
storms and heat Of several genera
lions. And IL is wonderful with what
rapidity a house may be thrown to-
gether when the bamboo is used.
One temporary dweller in the CEN
ter of the island of Luzon having 70
entertain some visitors, had an eN-
teugive wing attached 10 his bunga-
low by two Filipino carpenters in
three days-roofed, fioored, and ready
for occupancy.
The bamboo is also used in the con-
struction of suspension bridges, and
on the islands are many such bridges
some several hundred feet in length,
over which a light train might safely
be run. Piping is also made from the
trunks by a following process, and
furniture. RATS, scaffolding, carts,
baskets. vessels to contain liquids
weapons, cordage, huts, mats, palingsr
carrying poles, and many other use
full things are manufactured from the
tree.
II is also supposed TO contain
medicinal qualities, as from it
white substance is taken which the
natives use to allay the inflammation
Of the eyes caused by the intensity OF
the suns rays, the more superstitious
believing also that a stone which is oc'
casionally found imbedded in the
larger trunks contains the power to
cure all the ills that the body is
| cursed with.
