BASE NEGLECT OF DUTY.
Some OF the Things That Are Ex-
pcctcd of Men Who Aspire to
Political Leade1ship.

To become political 1ead der" and to re-
tain the post successfully, requires eterna
vigilance. One politician, quoted by the
Cleveland Plain Dea Ter, says that in the
tenement districts the leader becomes 4
sort of unofficial mayor, guardian and ia
Their of his people. He can never ignore q
request. 10 do SO is to offend not only
the individual who makes it, but all hi
relations.
One woman asked district leader to take
her baby into his family while the mother
went out of town for weeks visit. Again
he was called up at two o'clock in the morn.
ing by couple of men who had got into a
dispute, and wanted him to arbitrate. He
was expected to see that the poor had coal
to bail out those who were arrested; to Sc.
cure work for those who were out of employ.

tend marriages, picnics and funerals.
One family of voters renowned him perma.
nently because he did not call when seven
year-old Thomas broke leg.
But I didn't know he had broken his
Leg" the leader demonstrated.
Sure, and you should have known it,"
"But I didn't even know you had a son
named Thomas"
THAT settles it," and the father took
up his hat. Tim Sullivan would have
known it. Niver meal have you ate in me

The SYMPTOMS EVIL CHARMS.
Strange Beliefs Of Swiss Peasants Re-
gardIng the Great Tunnel Well
+ ''a~E-. Founded.

Three strange and mighty,naturalp he-
nomena of uncommon kinds have acted
almost like three evil charms to hinder
the completion of the great Simplon
tunnel in Europe. The peasants there
have declared that the mountain gnomes
and manikins are trying to fight the men
who are boring great hole through
their sacred mountain. s~ ..
The first strange occurrence was III
years ago, when the blow of pick
broke into tremendous subterranean
sea that began Immediately to pour
out of the solid rock with a roar like
that of Niagara.
It swept away everything before It
and hundreds of workmen were saved
only by swimming with the rushing
food. At first the engineers expect
ed that the water would run off within
a few days, but days. weeks and months
passed and the water was still rushing
In undiminished volume, so that all the
work was stopped. a..-
At last a bed was blown into solid
rock and the waters we're turned into
It. They are rushing through it, max
ing it respectable river.
Scarcely had this danger been avoid
ed before the tunnel began to slide and
bend strangely. This was found to be
due to rock that was so soft that it could
not bear the pressure of the mighty
mountain on top of it. Immense sums
of money had to be spent to counteract
this, and every new cutting has had to
be surrounded with cement and con-
crete.
Before the engineers had more than
finished their work over this phenome-
non the Swiss end of the tunnel began
to grow hot. Day by day the heat in
creased, until it was so great that 1t
blistered the skin Of the workmen, driv-
ing them out of the cuttings. The costly
ventilating appliance proved useless
against this growing heat, that finally
became too deadly to permit human be-
ing to enter
Investigations proved that the heat
was due to big accumulations Of hot
water that seeped through the rock
there in a thousand veins.
Again the engineers had to call for
immense sums of money to install new
devices to fight the new enemy. They
have succeeded. Although it is still so
hot in the tunnel that the visitor per-
spires as soon as he enters, the work
is proceeding rapidly And the hot wa
ter has been chained It has been set
to drive drills and other machinery.

SPANISH BEGGARS TO GO.
Ancient ORGANIZATION of the "pOrdio-
ser0s" Threatened by Anti
VaKrant Measure.

Every tourist who contemplates visit
| to Spain will rejoice that the govern
ment has reported favorably upon a
measure for the repression of vagrancy
and begging. which are practiced on q
large scale all over the peninsula, and
are particularly INDUCED in by young
children. The bill has been prepared
by the social reform committee of
Madrid, although it was actually draft
cd by Senator Santa Maria de Paroles,
of the Madrid university. says the New
York Times.
In no other Latin country is the guild
of beggars so we'll organized. The Span
ish beggar is not usually thief, or
rather overt thieving is discouraged by
his profession. Spanish sociologists
trace the origin of the present-day beg
gar to the time of barefooted pilgrim
ages and hair-shirt discipline 1t is af-
firmed that the whole class of quite or
derby men and women who crouch at
the church doors and piously bless the
donors of copper coins are in many
cases the lineal descendants Of pilgrims

we're charitably disposed toward them.
There is no doubt that even to-day the
Madrid beggar, who is called in Castilian
"pordiosero," is a very pious person;
indeed, the appellation implies as much,
originating, at it did, from the first
phrase that beggar uters to the stran-
ger-"por Dios."
The new measure inflicts on the pa
rents and guardians of minors arrested
for begging or wandering and sleeping
on highways and the public thorough
fares either fines or terms of from one
to days. Imprisonment. Heavier fines,
or from to 80 days Imprisonment, will
be imposed on parents and guardians
who ill-treat children in order to make
them beg, or who sell them to others
for the purpose of begging. All persons
convicted will forfeit the right to have
the custody of the children for two
years or more, at the discretion of the
courts and authorities, who will place
the minors in proper municipal and pro-
vincial establishm which will sup
port and educate them until it is con-
sidered possible to restore them to their
parents or guardians.

Gold Found in Tunis.

A strange piece Of news comes from
Tunis. 1t is stated that gold deposits
have been discovered in the regions of
Sousse and Bizerta. Samples are said
to have yielded from two to three
ounces per ton, with a minimum of 16
pennyweights. A writer in the Matin
goes 50 far as to declare that some
specimens obtained near Kairouan
have produced in the laboratory the
fabulous yield Of three and four
pounds to the ton. The mining de-
partment In the Regency is reported
by the same authority, to have at first
refused to issue permits until 1t was
proved that the gold existed, but Is
now granting them at the rate Of 100
a day. A specialist in Paris, however.
refuses to believe in the authenticity
of The discovery, on the ground that
the geological formation of Tuuis does
not admit of the existence of the con-
glomerate that is said to extend for q
distance of over 30 miles. being too

THE WALKING HILLS.
A Hir1, Chain Of Them Is Said to BE
Creeping Slowly Over the
Colorado Desert.

In the eastern portion of the Colorado
desert, in southern California, is chain
of hills nearly 100 miles long, which are
known as THE Walking Hills" These
elevations, which are 200 and 300 feet
high. are constantly advancing across
the plain. 4
The desert is about 100 miles wide at
this point, and it is, for the most part,
a level plain devoid of vegetation.
Across the plain continually blows a
strong wind, always in one direction
from the west to the east. Some time
in the dim and distant past, at some
point far to the westward, the sands
which advance before the stiff breeze
IF the desert began piling up, and this
preat chain of hills had its beginning.
Then it began its journey across the
deserted plain.
The hills are always advancing. The
wind which is constantly adding to the
h,iehts of the hills by bringing new
material. also cuts away the sand from
the western side and shoots it over
thu hill where it falls upon the eastern
slone. so that as fast as one side is eat
on away the other side Is added to, and
the hills are thus slowly advanced to the
eastward.
A little more than Is years ago the
Southern Pacific Railway company built
tts road along the eastern rim of the
desert east of these hills. At that time
the range was long way west of the
tracks Of the roads. Now the hills have

Latest Novelty in Bubbles.

Doctors have invented a new form
Of bubble. Neuralgia, sciatica and lum-
bago are known to be affections Of the
ends of the nerves, which lie just un-
der the skin of the painful region. It has
been discovered that by injecting air
under the skin the ends of the nerves
are heightened, and the pain relieved.
The bubble Of air is pressed by the
fingers, and caused to move about until
all parts are relieved. In dislocations,
fractures and bruises the same treat
